He can also equestrian, Yan Mingqiao doesn't understand this, but looking at it, Chu Zheng is spinning around on horseback.

He can fly up in the saddle, he is on the back of the horse as if he were on the flat ground, he can still stand on the back of the horse, his head held high, and the sun seems to cast a layer of golden light on him.

Yan Mingqiao seems to be able to see that in the future, he will be wearing armor and guarding the little general in the northwest.

Yan Ming said in his heart, it's really amazing, it's so good-looking, and it's really hot.

Chu Zheng wanted to teach Ming Qiao two tricks, these equestrian skills are also for fighting, otherwise riding a horse to the battlefield, being an immobile scarecrow on horseback, just a target.

If you learn a little bit, you can at least be a little stronger.

Yan Mingqiao was very scared and shook his head, "I'll just ride a horse, practice how to get on the horse and how to get off the horse, your actions are very beautiful." Anything else is too hard, I can't learn ten. ”

Yan Mingqiao is still very self-aware, Chu Zheng didn't say anything, Mingqiao didn't learn from him, of course, it was based on Mingqiao's mind.

But......

"If you want to learn to get off the horse, you have to practice the basic skills for two years first."

Yan Mingqiao: "What kind of basic skills?" ”

Chu Zheng said: "Zama step, boxing, you have to practice your arms and play kung fu." ”

Otherwise, how to pull the saddle and go up.

Sure enough, nothing is easy.

Yan Mingqiao looked down at his legs, "I'd better ride a horse honestly." ”

It took two quarters of an hour, because it was too hot, and the horse was not as happy as the early spring. Yan Mingqiao was so wilted by the sun, "Xiao Shizi, let's go back to eat first, Zhuang Hu said that the big watermelon was iced, and he would eat cold skin and cold vegetables at noon today." ”

The Yanguo Mansion does not eat this, but the farmer eats cold vegetables in the summer, which is the best way to relieve the heat.

Chu Zheng was also hot, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, "Then go back first, it's too hot today." ”

He didn't want to move when it was hot, and planned to go back to the academy tomorrow, reading books on this day would definitely be better than practicing martial arts under the sun, "Go back to eat melons to relieve the heat first, why is it so hot these days." ”

It hadn't rained for more than ten days, and the weather was very dry.

The farmer is busy carrying water into the field these days, and the crops can not be sunburned, the weather is hot, the tea business is better, and the tea leaves with dried flowers and fruits are more clear and thirst-quenching than other teas.

But if it continues to be so hot, the price of tea will also rise, and business will not be good.

The barbecue shop business plummeted, and it simply turned into a teahouse selling herbal tea, and by the way, I hired a storyteller to continue selling barbecue when it was cold in autumn.

When he first started the tea business, Yan Mingqiao thought about letting several food shops sell together, but the purpose of opening a shop was to make money, and the tea in this food shop either didn't cost money, or it was very cheap.

No one came to the food shop to drink tea.

If you rub tea table by table, it's easy to say that your reputation is out, and if you can't beat it, you'll lose money in vain.

Moreover, Yan Mingqiao also wanted to see if she could sell the tea bags on her own.

As it turned out, she could.

Now there are eight people in the workshop, and we may have to buy another person next month.

The farmer has prepared lunch here, and if it is stewed again on this day, it will be too hot, besides, it has been hot for a long time, and Ming Buckwheat does not want to eat slimy pork stewed vermicelli, so it is good to have cold dishes.

After Yan Mingqiao came back, he washed his face, and he didn't wilt anymore, and followed the farmer to the field to pick vegetables and eggs.

I won't pick up duck eggs, because there are too many ducks, and I can't pick up duck eggs at all.

Yan Mingqiao first drilled into the cucumber field, the cucumbers were big and small, and she chose the one that grew the most upright. Two inches long, less than an inch wide, with thorns and small yellow flowers, the cucumber cub is very beautiful, compared with other cucumbers, this one is simply too beautiful.

Eggplant is bright purple, preferably able to reflect the human figure, and the beans are long cowpeas, which are a lot of picks.

The radish was to be plucked from the ground, Yan Mingqiao picked all the hairpins, wrapped a cloth towel on his head, and carried a small basket in his hand, and the basket was full in a while.

Yan Mingqiao felt that she picked it too quickly, "Xiao Shizi, aren't these enough for us to eat at noon." ”

Chu Zheng doesn't like to eat vegetables, but Yan Mingqiao obviously still wants to pick them, "Well, it's not enough." ”

Yan Mingqiao went to pick a basket again, and the more he picked things, the more addictive he became, especially when he found a tender one from the cucumber rack, he was happy.

When she picked the third basket, she just entered the vegetable field, and before she stayed for a while, she ran out, "Xiao Shizi, there are insects in the field!" ”

Yan Mingqiao ran fast, and she didn't care about any unruly rules, her scalp was numb, and her whole body was numb, it was really terrible.

It's so big, and it moves.

Chu Zheng laughed, "If you have to go to the vegetable field, this is enough to eat." ”

Yan Mingqiao sniffed vigorously, "You can see if there are any worms in the basket first, I'd better go pick up the eggs, the eggs must not have worms." ”

No, no, no, chickens seem to eat bugs, too, but there shouldn't be eggs.

Again...... If it's not in the Guogong Mansion, who will catch the worm first.

Yan Mingqiao persuaded himself in his heart, if there are insects, it means that the dishes are delicious, and the dishes that don't even eat insects must be unpalatable.

But...... Woo, it's such a big one, and it can climb.

Chu Zheng was a little curious, he went over to take a look, he was not afraid of insects, he wanted to see what the insects that could frighten Ming Qiao look like, and after reading it, he felt that it was just like that.

Yan Mingqiao kept stomping her feet, she looked for Lin Zao, lowered her head and turned around twice, "Lin Zao, take a look at me and see if there are any worms on my body." ”

Fortunately, there are no insects on her body, and Yan Mingqiao can go and pick up eggs with peace of mind.

After picking up a few, Yan Mingqiao lost interest, she wanted to eat less at lunch, but after tasting it, hey, it was delicious!

The lunch was made with eggs picked up by Yan Mingqiao's own vegetables, and taking into account Chu Zheng's presence, he made a pot of braised pork with eggs.

The remaining dish is a large pot of cold vegetables, shredded and shredded, cut into sections.

In a pot, the color is different, and the dish is sprinkled with sauce and evenly coated with spicy oil.

Yan Mingqiao tasted the eggplant, the outermost was the sour and spicy taste that was close to the brain, and the inside was the sweet taste of the eggplant itself.

One by one, it looks good.

The eggplant mixed in it is steamed directly after eating, and then the whole is directly mixed with a spoon.

But for the main family, you have to cut small pieces, cucumbers and radishes are cut into small strips, boiled eggs are all four, so drizzled with balsamic vinegar, oil and spicy seeds, various seasonings and sauces, carefully mix, even if there is no meat, it is refreshing and delicious.

There is no ice in the farmhouse, and they have to work in the summer, which is their own food to relieve the heat.

Such a cold dish has to be delicious with steamed buns, Yan Mingqiao liked it after eating the first bite, Chu Zheng originally wanted to eat rice and braised pork, but after tasting the cold dishes, he also began to eat steamed buns.

It's true that he likes meat, but if there is something more delicious, it is natural to eat it better.

What's more, Chu Zheng has grown so big that he has not eaten less meat, but he just doesn't eat one meal.

A pot of cold vegetables, sour and spicy to relieve the heat, when leaving, the Zhuang also copied down the recipe of the cold vegetables, he saw that Yan Ming buckwheat loves to eat, and took the opportunity to sell it well.

Yan Mingqiao took the recipe and kept ten taels of silver, she didn't plan to do business with this, but she couldn't take other people's things for nothing.

When you get back, you can put some other dishes, such as shrimp! The shrimp must be delicious!

There are also lotus root slices and potato chips, and the shredded bean skin must be delicious inside.

The two of them are very full, Chu Zheng is very happy today, he is going back to the academy tomorrow, it has been almost two months since the release of the list, and it is also brisk to do what he likes every day.

Yan Mingqiao copied a copy of the recipe to Chu Zheng, "If Xiao Shizi wants to eat it when he goes back, he can let the cook make it." ”

Chu Zheng nodded, and when he arrived in the city, Yan Mingqiao turned around and returned to the Guogong Mansion.

Ming'er is going to class, and she still feels that there are bugs on her body, so she wants to take a shower quickly and wash the bugs away.

At the beginning of June, it was still hot after taking a bath, Yan Mingqiao took out the recipe for mixing cold vegetables and decided to eat cold vegetables at night.

She has to eat it for many days in a row, with steamed buns!

In the Yanguo Mansion, the heat is hot, because there is ice and water, but inside and outside the city, the ground is dry, and the heat is difficult to get rid of.

Not only in Shengjing, but also in other places There is little rain, and if it continues to be so hot, this year's harvest may be sluggish.

In the summer, Japan has very little work, but now he has to carry water to water the crops, and he can't make ends meet.

This month, the Shen family went to give alms, and Yan Mingqiao took another two hundred taels of silver. But this time he didn't send porridge, but one person received two catties of rice and two catties of noodles, which were packed in sacks, and they could be eaten slowly at home.

Two hundred taels, plus the two hundred taels that the Shen family gave to the Yanguo Mansion, can almost help more than 10,000 people.

Naturally, there are also people who have received it many times, but it is always the same group of people who come to receive the rice noodles, and the people from the Yanguo Mansion are not staring, they are still staring.

There are not a few people who give in Shengjing City, like the Buddha and the people who believe in the Buddha, they all believe that they will be rewarded for their good fortune, and Shen's charity is to accumulate blessings for their children.

There are also some people who are not for the sake of accumulating blessings, but for outsiders to see, to give alms and accumulate virtue and do good deeds, which seems to outsiders to be good people, and it is also a kind of blinding. However, both of these methods can help the poor people.

But there is a good saying, emergency relief is not poverty relief, relying on the rice obtained by almsgiving can survive the hot summer, but not the autumn and winter because of the drought and recession.

The imperial court issued many edicts, but with little effect, the saint personally ascended the Temple of Heaven in the middle of the month to pray for rain, hoping to rain as soon as possible, but by the end of June, the sky was still dry and stunned, and the rain did not fall.

Occasionally, when it was cloudy, the dark clouds gathered together for a while, and then dispersed.

Yan Mingqiao was a little dry by the weather, and Mr. Fu still came to class every day, but the two gentlemen who taught Fuqin and painting stopped these two classes because of the hot weather.

She only takes one class a day now, and Yan Mingqiao will not take this class at the beginning of the month, she has learned simple stitching and can embroider simple patterns, her mother said that this is enough, and this homework does not need to be too proficient.

Fu Zhongyan came over to talk about the people's livelihood and suffering, Yan Mingqiao was worried about the outside, but with her own strength, she could only help some people.

Besides, she worked so hard to earn money, and she couldn't bear to let her donate all her money to do good deeds.

She makes money for her family and herself, and she has extra money, Yan Mingqiao is willing to help, but not to the point of putting others before herself.

Fu Zhongyan felt that there was nothing wrong with this, few people were willing to give their silver to others to spend.

Until July, the drought situation in the south improved, but there was no rain in the land facing the north.

Counting, it has not rained in Shengjing for a month and eight days, and the crops are shriveled, even if it rains heavily in a few days, there is no way to remedy it.

Yan Mingqiao plans to reduce the rent of his two Zhuangzi by three, so that the villagers can keep more grain.

In mid-July, it finally rained in Shengjing, but the crops in the fields had dried up a lot.

Yan Mingqiao looked up at the rain curtain on the horizon, and sighed softly, although it was raining, but the crops had died of drought, whether this person was dull or smart, in the end it all depended on God.

Because of the drought, grain prices rose, and the merchants who resold grain made a lot of money, but Yan Mingqiao's tea business did not lose money, but the business was not very good.

But some of the money is always good.

Then the imperial court came forward to control the price of grain, and waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival to completely pass the matter.

Yan Mingqiao understood some truths in a daze, it is difficult to make a fortune for a long time, and it is still necessary to do business with conscience.

In short, this year's summer is still relatively bad, and the autumn harvest is not happy, Yan Mingqiao feels that it is not enough to just buy Zhuangzi, in case it is not good to catch up with the year, wouldn't it be all wasted all year round, after all, the grain still needs money.
