Chapter 30 Ingredients
Zhao Yuzhen learned to be a housekeeper, and the other girls studied as usual, Zhao Wangshu couldn't go out, but Hong Chang, Buckwheat Lady and Orange Xiang all went out on her orders.
At the end of the month, Orange Xiang brought back the account books of the two stores, and seeing that Zhao Wangshu, who was reading the account books, his face was not very good, and he asked cautiously: "Girl, is the business of Accord not good?" ”
"Business is good." Zhao Wangshu closed the account book, and the newly launched Hundred Flowers Jewelry was quite popular and profitable.
What bothered her was not the good or bad business of the store, but that she was trapped in the mansion and could not come and go freely.
When Zhao Wangshu was depressed to the extreme, one thing that the buckwheat lady said made her more interested, "The miscellaneous treasure store bought seeds from a foreign land, and the flowers planted were gray-purple flowers, looking at the inconspicuous, the fruits that came out were green at first, and then turned red, the small ones were very good-looking, some people were bold, picked and eaten, the taste was not good, the mouth was hot and spicy, and the tears and snot came out." ”
Listening to this description, it is so familiar.
Isn't this millet pepper!
Her spicy fragrant pot, diced spicy chicken, chopped pepper fish head...... It's all arranged!
Zhao Wangshu swallowed excitedly, "Buckwheat lady, you go to the grocery store and buy me all the flowers you just said, as well as the seeds." ”
"Girl, if you like it, just buy one or two pots and come back, you don't need to buy them all, and it's useless to buy seeds?" The buckwheat lady was happy to see her cheer up.
But the girl wanted to buy the useless thing, and she thought she was too talkative, and she shouldn't have said it.
Zhao Wangshu thought for a while and said, "You go and buy it, bring two pots to me, and send the rest and seeds to the Zhuangzi and give them to my grandmother, so that my grandmother can help me take care of them." ”
The buckwheat lady cautiously asked tentatively: "Isn't this fruit a precious fruit?" ”
Zhao Wangshu shook his hand and said: "It's not a precious fruit, it's just a condiment, used for cooking, and I'll teach the cook to cook it later, and you will know if you taste it." ”
The buckwheat lady didn't believe that it was edible, but the girl said so, she didn't want to question it, and the next day, she took the money and went to the grocery store.
Not long after the buckwheat lady went out, the girls also changed into new spring clothes and went out.
On the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, according to the custom, she wanted to go to the suburbs to welcome the rich, and Mrs. Zhao finally "gave permission" to everyone to go out to play.
As soon as he arrived at the archway, the carriage stopped, and Zhao Wangshu listened to Zhao He: "Cousin, you are here." ”
"Sorry, it's late." A not-so-familiar voice replied.
"It's not late, we've just gone out."
The two men had spoken a few words, and the carriage went on.
In mid-spring, the situation is good, and the grass and trees are gradually soothing.
At this time, it is also especially suitable for digging wild vegetables, and the girls' outfits are very simple and neat.
The girls took the maidservants to the carriage, the young masters rode horses, followed by a group of family members, leisurely towards the Wanshou Mountain outside the city, and met several convoys on the way, all of which were girls and young masters who went to the suburbs.
When he got off at the place, he got off the car, and when he got off the horse, Zhao Wangshu found that there was an extra pair of master and servant, who was Yang Hao, the maiden nephew of Mrs. Zhao.
The air in early spring is exceptionally fresh, and even the breeze carries the fragrance of plants and trees, which is pleasant for the mind and body.
People who go out in groups of three or five, either carrying small and delicate baskets or holding short handles and small hoes, are looking for wild vegetables all over the mountains.
"Do you want to rest in the pergola first, or do you want to go to the hillside to dig wild vegetables?" Zhao He asked.
Zhao Yuzhen replied: "It's not too hard to come by car, let's go to the hillside to dig wild vegetables." ”
"Okay, then you go and dig wild vegetables, just dig in this area, don't go far." Zhao Hebi said.
The girls bowed their heads and replied, "Got it." ”
Zhao He instructed the family a few more words, and then left with his three younger brothers and Yang Hao to find a companion to play, he was impatient to accompany these little girls.
"Big cousin, I'd better stay, they're all girls, and it won't be good if someone collides." Yang Hao said.
"No, there are so many people guarding it, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares? After fifteen, I will go to the academy to study, and I will take you to meet a few classmates. Zhao He put his arm around his shoulders and forcibly took him away.
"Cousin." Yang Hao had something to say clearly, turned his head to look at Zhao Wangshu, who had gone to the hillside with his sisters, and sighed, what should I do to talk to the beauty?
Climbing to the hillside, Zhao Jiahua said excitedly: "There are a lot of toons here, Sister Shu, Sister Qing, pick more, toon scrambled eggs, it's delicious." ”
"Scrambled eggs with wild scallion taste good, too." Zhao Wangshu dug up a bush of wild scallion and put it in the basket.
"Shepherd's cabbage dumplings are the best." Zhao Yuying swallowed her saliva, but she didn't see the shepherd's cabbage in this piece.
A group of people were on the hillside, talking and laughing and digging wild vegetables, and suddenly there was a shout: "Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao." ”
Except for the Fang family sisters, all of them were Miss Zhao, and everyone looked up, and the person who called them was Yao Shanyu.
With her are her cousins Yao Shuiqin and Yao Muhe, as well as Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun.
"I've seen the county lord, I've seen the girls, I wonder what happened to the county lord coming to us?" Zhao Yuzhen saluted and asked.
"No need to be polite, it's okay for me to come over, I just saw Yue'er here, come over and say hello." Yao Shanyu smiled at Zhao Wangshu.
Yao Shuiqin and Yao Muhe also smiled at Zhao Wangshu, while Lin Qianyi was still that arrogant, with no dust under her eyes, and Zhu Siyun still looked at Zhao Wangshu with scrutiny.
Zhao Wangshu returned the polite smile of the Yao sisters, ignored Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun, and asked Yao Shanyu, "Gardenia, there are a lot of wild vegetables here, do you want to dig wild vegetables here?" ”
"Okay." Yao Shanyu readily agreed,
Zhu Siyun frowned, and Lin Qianyi said with a cold face: "Gardenia, cousin, we will be anxious if they can't find us." ”
"Just send someone back and tell my brother." Yao Shanyu went over to help Zhao Wangshu dig up wild scallion.
Although Yao Shanyi is not the oldest of the three, she is the only one with grade, everyone respects her, she wants to stay, Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun are no longer willing, they can only stay.
After digging wild vegetables for a while, Lin Qianyi, Zhu Siyun and Zhao Shuangzhi all said: "I'm so tired, I won't dig anymore, I want to take a break." ”
On the second day of February, they went out to the suburbs to welcome the rich, and they had to return to the city in the evening, but these girls from rich and noble families would not be like the poor families, and they would satisfy their hunger with dug wild vegetables at noon.
"I can't do it anymore, I have to rest." Zhao Shuqing gasped.
"Hurry up and rest, don't get tired." Zhao Jiahua helped her and said.
Zhao Yuzhen's family is not rich, even if he doesn't go to the field to do farm work, he still has to do housework at home, dig some wild vegetables, and he doesn't feel tired
Zhao Wangshu, who is pampered at home, does not have to do farm work or housework, but she secretly exercises every day, and although her physical fitness is better than that of Yao Shanyu, who practices martial arts, it is not bad.
