The mother and daughter stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for more than half an hour, and seeing that it was not early, they got into the carriage again and returned to the hot spring villa.

Huo Jingzhi and Huo Jinyan stood at the gate of the mansion and watched the carriage of the two leave.

"How good our little sister is, but some people don't know the goods."

It is self-evident who there is someone here.

"Be careful."

Huo Jingzhi glanced at his son, turned around and entered the house, and Huo Jinyan hurriedly followed.

"Actually, this is not a good thing for your little sister, and the palace is not a good place."

This is not true at all, their family's current status is not low, and they are not so ambitious, in fact, it is good now, peace and stability are more important than anything else.

"Yes."

Huo Jinyan thought about it, it was true, and his heart relaxed a lot.

"Sincerely, go, go to the study with my father."

Father and son went to the study.

"You have also seen the current situation, my little sister is afraid that it will be difficult to find her in-laws in the future."

"I discussed with your mother, if she meets the person she likes in the future, and the other party doesn't have so many messy thoughts, let's help support and pave the way."

Huo Jinyan nodded, he naturally had no opinion on this.

"However, if she doesn't find the person she likes, we don't have to force her, and we will raise her for the rest of our lives."

Yes, Huo Jinyan was a little puzzled, didn't this have been said before?

He also promised that he would take good care of his little sister, how can he say it.

"For you, your father and your mother are naturally at ease, but you will get married after the New Year, and your mother and I will grow old in the future, and it is impossible to always support Yaoyao."

"So I need you and your daughter-in-law to take over, the relationship between my sister-in-law is already delicate, so I have to mediate and maintain it in the middle, do you understand what it means to be a father?"

It turned out that I was worried about my future wife.

"My son understands, father, don't worry, Zhilan has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is not a mean person, and I have already written to her to explain this matter to my little sister before."

"She's definitely not going to look at my little sister the same way as those people out there."

Huo Jingzhi nodded, he was still quite satisfied with his future daughter-in-law, but some things still had to be explained to his son in advance.

Speaking of Huo Jinyan's fiancée, she is not an ordinary family.

She is the daughter of Fang Qiao, the left minister of the Yu Dynasty, the main house, and the only girl in the Fang family's generation.

......

Back at the Hot Spring Villa, Huo Junyao immediately went to check the seeds he had gotten.

Like pepper seeds, they've already sent out very small shoots.

She hurriedly asked Xiaochan to use a wooden basin to get some fine humus soil, and continued to put these germinated pepper seeds into it to cultivate.

This time, you have to wait until the yellow shoots are strong before they can be transplanted into the greenhouse.

Ten days have passed, and the temperature has dropped a lot compared to before.

The seeds she cultivated were very smooth, and the seedlings had been transplanted into the greenhouse one after another.

Every day, there are special people who take care of her according to her arrangement.

Although these subordinates are not optimistic about the fact that their county lord wants to grow vegetables in winter, they even think it is whimsical.

However, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has an order, how the county lord explains, they will do it, who dares to talk nonsense, or do not do what the county lord said and ordered, then hit the board, or sell it.

These subordinates naturally don't dare to slack off, and this county lord is very kind to them, so that they are also close to them in their hearts, and they are quite serious in their work.

And in the past ten days, Huo Junyao also discovered the source of the astringent and bitter taste in the tofu fish soup.

Salt, yes, salt.

The Yu Dynasty still used sea salt, well salt and pool salt, and the process was still relatively backward, so that there were still a lot of impurities in the salt, resulting in a slightly astringent and bitter taste.

Moreover, the yield is not high, and many people can't even afford to eat salt, so when cooking, they can only use vinegar cloth to increase the taste.

As a person who traveled through the afterlife, where could she stand such a situation?

It didn't take two or three days to come up with a simple purification device to repurify all the salt at home.

The original astringency and bitterness are all gone, and the flavor of the tofu fish soup has also improved a lot.

However, the eldest princess of Ningyang did not find that the salt had changed, but her daughter's craftsmanship had grown again.

And this matter of salt purification, Huo Junyao also explained to the back kitchen, and it should not be passed on, she has no plans to release these things now.

After all, salt was very important in ancient dynasties, although it was in the hands of the imperial court, but there were many people who made profits from it in private.

So if these things are released, I am afraid that they will touch the interests of many people, and now her accumulation is not enough, and there is a prince eyeing her, so she has to keep a low profile.

It's better not to let out things that threaten the interests of others for the time being.

......

On this day, Huo Junyao just got up, and was about to go to check the situation of the greenhouse on a routine basis, but as soon as she went out, she found that there were snowflakes floating down in the sky.

"It's snowing?"

In her previous life, she lived in Chongqing, and she didn't necessarily see snow even in the depths of winter.

When I arrived in this Yu Dynasty, it was not yet late autumn when the snow began to fall?

"The slave maid has long felt that this year is colder than last year, but I didn't expect it to snow now, and it seems that many places are afraid of disasters."

Red Sleeves stood behind Huo Junyao and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Snow disaster?"

Huo Junyao frowned, and glanced at his greenhouse with some concern.

If that's the case, it's hard to say whether your greenhouse can succeed.

"Why did Yaoyao get up early? It's so cold, why don't you sleep more. ”

The eldest princess of Ningyang came over at some point, and when she saw Huo Junyao, she came over with a smile.

Then I couldn't help but sigh.

"This year's snow came early enough, it seems that we need to prepare some charcoal, otherwise this winter will not be easy."

As soon as she said this, Huo Junyao also realized the problem.

In ancient times, there were no air conditioners and stoves, and it seems that the only way to heat the house was to put a few charcoal braziers in the house.

It's also warm, but it's also dangerous, and many people die from charcoal poisoning every winter.

She didn't want her house to be full of carbon dioxide by then, so she thought for a moment and asked; "Mother, do we have iron at home?"

"Yes, every year the village needs to repair farm tools or something, and some will be saved, but the amount will not be too much."

"After all, this is a material that the imperial court urgently needs, and it is impossible for it to appear in large quantities outside the imperial court."

In ancient times, salt and iron were very important materials for the imperial court, which were basically controlled by the imperial court, although there were also private salt and iron smuggling among the people, but the amount was not too much, and once it was found, it was a felony.

"Then can you find someone to ask how many, if there are many, get me a thousand catties now, and then find a few blacksmiths."
