Chapter 284: Return
Tonight's meal lived up to the expectations of plum berries.
A simple version of the seafood pot with lazy steamed rice.
Potatoes, Wei Meili found a piece of smoked pork belly in Zhuangzi's kitchen, washed it, cut it into cubes, and put it in a pot with potatoes and rice and steamed it.
Just this lazy man's steamed rice, plum berries directly ate two bowls.
Others also ate quite a bit under the influence of plum berries.
Sweet potato Wei Meili also chose to throw it directly into the bottom of the pot and simmer it when cooking;
And the seafood pot, it is very delicious when you cook it casually, and you don't need too much seasoning at all.
"That's it, I almost didn't get sick to death when I washed it, but I didn't expect it to be delicious."
Several secret guards also sat at the same table, and about the squid in the seafood pot, Jia Jiu, who cleaned the seafood, had quite a say.
"I heard Mrs. May say that this thing is delicious to eat raw, but unfortunately there is no seasoning here."
Qing picked up a piece of squid whiskers and chewed it, feeling the chewiness of the Q bomb explode in her mouth, she said, "I really want to try eating it raw." โ
"Huh!"
Jia Jiu and several other secret guards looked at Qing Shi in horror and shook their heads, they were staunch delicatessen.
"I helped Mrs. May in the kitchen to deal with a thing called 'sea urchin', which I ate, and the raw one was quite sweet."
Qing Shi looked at the other people, and saw that they didn't believe that the raw food was delicious, so he took the sea urchin as an example.
As everyone knows, when she said that she was eating raw sea urchins, Jia Jiu, who also helped Wei Meili deal with seafood, already knew the original appearance of what she was eating, and her face turned blue in an instant.
"Didn't you say that thing steamed eggs, why did you eat them raw?"
"Mrs. Mei said that if you can eat it raw, and if it is delicious, you should eat it fresh, so I ate it."
Qingshi does not procrastinate in some aspects, and the neatness is a little speechless.

Mei Berry and her mother took Gu Beiwang and the shopkeeper of Zhaolin Jiubaoxuan to eat together, and the delicious Mei Berry eyebrows in the soup in the seafood pot were about to fall off.
While eating the plum berries, I remember that I had some vegetables at the end, poured the rice into it, and boiled it.
At the last table, everyone was holding Mei Berry, for fear that she would be embarrassed because she died of a meal.
Mei Berry held the last half bowl of "seafood risotto" with resentment, and muttered quietly while eating: "If it is more spicy, I can ...... it again Oh! โ
Speaking of spicy, Mei Berry suddenly remembered the chili pepper in her Zhuangzi.
As soon as Mei Berry asked, Gu Beiwang also had an impression: "You mean that the little red fruit, something that will sting and burn when eaten in the mouth, right?" โ
"That's right!"
Mei Berry nodded, looked at Gu Beiwang and asked, "You know everything?" โ
"Hmm. It's the same seasoning as dogwood, right? โ
"That's right."
Gu Beiwang nodded.
He remembered the picture of the chili pepper being "tasted by the herbs" and then screaming by Xue Lao at that time, although Xue Lao got better later, but because this thing called chili pepper was plum berries, her father said that there was no poison to eat.
So, when Gu Beiwang followed Gu Pingyu to Zhuangzi, he saw Xue Lao chasing Mei Youqian with a wooden stick and jumping up and down.
For a while, he didn't know whether to praise Xue Lao for being strong, or if Mei Berry's father was a little "naughty"?
"Mother, what did we do with those peppers?"
"The seeds were left and dried to make chili noodles and fresh chili paste. Oh, I also brought two jars, dried chilies, and some seeds to Xianyao, but I forgot when you just woke up. โ
"Gu Hou said that he planted some around Yanping Pass next year, saying that his body would have a fever after eating, and winter was very good for the soldiers."
"Uh-huh. It would be better to wait for next year's cotton production to also increase. โ
Plum berries mentioned cotton, and Gu Beiwang naturally cared about this crop.
Previously, he received a letter that Gu Pingyu also went to the Plum Berry Zhuangzi a few days ago to join in the fun, saying that he wanted to see with his own eyes what this cotton could be made.
"Then it can be used for many purposes, cotton can be used as quilts, cotton clothes, and textiles."
The cotton seeds given by the system are said to be new seeds of the future, and will be developed into cotton suitable for the local climate according to the climate of the growing area.
Just like the cotton planted in Yanzhou, both Meiberry and Mei Youqian thought that this cotton was the most suitable for planting in the west and Yanzhou.
As a result, the system later told her that if this kind of seed is planted in Xianyao or other places, the appearance of the growth is likely to be similar to that of American cotton.
Both have their own advantages, and the fabrics they weave are not the same.
In short, the adaptability of this cotton is better than that of several types of cotton known to later generations of plum berries.
Wei Meili said that her father would bring a lot of seeds and beaten cotton this time.
"The cotton quilt is super comfortable, and although it is a little heavy, the feeling of being thick on the body brings a sense of security that is incomparable."
"Then I can look forward to it."
Looking at the bright eyes of plum berries and talking about the benefits of cotton, Gu Beiwang also laughed.

Mei Berry and they were enjoying a delicious meal by the sea, and Mei Youqian and his party were still sneaking around at night.
"It's a hell of a thing, Chen Yuan is dead, why is there still someone guarding this Jinghu Pass?"
If you want to enter Xianyao, this is not a harsh winter, and you can't go directly to the ice.
Therefore, they now either take a detour to Hanzhou to enter Xianyao, or take the Jinlan River to take a boat and float a section of the Yunzhou outskirts to enter.
It's just that everyone mentioned that there were people on Jinghu Pass, which really surprised them.
Looking at the lights on the other side of the river, Mei You also had a lot of doubts in her heart.
Some people in the team were so suspicious, and of course some people said: "The general guarding the pass is gone, and then a new one is needed." โ
"There are rebellions everywhere in Yunzhou, can the imperial court send people here? Besides, the King of Qi is also dead, and there is no personal arrangement in Yunzhou, who is guarding this Jinghu Pass? โ
"Then is it convenient for you to come back from transporting grain this time?"
Mei Youqian listened to what they said so much, so he couldn't help but sweat in their hearts for Mei You.
"It's fine. When the river froze, it would be convenient for us to come back. โ
When the time comes, they will pick the section of the Jinlan River far away from Jinghu Pass and come back.
"Then you have to stay in Xianyao for a while, the temperature still has to drop, and it is not winter yet."
said that it was not winter, but when the plum berries and their affairs at the beach were over, and the group of people had just returned to the foot of Hanji Zhuangzi Mountain, the first snow of the year fell one after another.
The way up the mountain ended up leaving two shallow ruts in the snow.
When they arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, Mei Berry had just gotten out of the carriage when her father's rough laughter resounded nearby.
"Hahahahaha! Girl! Wife! I'm coming! โ
Xie Changchen and Gu Beiwang, who got down in the back carriage, watched Mei Youqian's movements of greeting his returning wife and daughter so warmly, and their eyelids jumped fiercely.
Even Gu Beiwang subconsciously looked at Mei You, who was standing beside Xie Changchen.
It's not that he doesn't know that his younger brother also has a crush on Mei You, but he doesn't know his brother's ...... Like it too?
Fortunately, Mei You, who was holding her shoulders with her hands, was not as bold as Mei Youqian, she just stood there quietly, looking at Mei Berry and their family with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was used to it.
Xie Changchen also noticed Mei You's reaction, and was a little curious about how the Meiberry family got along every day?
But soon Mei You noticed the confusion of the people around her.
"What, can't you stand it?"
Noticing Xie Changchen's gaze, Mei You turned her face sideways and looked up at Xie Changchen, her tone a little sharp.
"No, I'm a little uncomfortable, but I think it's good."
Listening to the unstoppable laughter of the Meiberry family in his ears, Xie Changchen covered his lips and coughed lightly, putting away a trace of envy in his eyes......
It's time for Xie Changchen to feel the big family life of "chickens flying and dogs jumping", hahahahaha
Gu Pingyu: When will you take me along?
Gu Beiwang: It's okay, my brother will give you a feeling.
Xie Changchen: Cousin will also give you a feeling.
Old Xue: The old man will show you.
Gu Pingyu: ????
