Concubine's plan

The people gathered around the door of the Xun family saw that Aunt Cai had a good relationship with the Xun family. The little girl from the Xun family even gave Aunt Cai some food. They just watched for a long time. The little girl only talked to Aunt Cai and did not make any move. In the end, she felt bored. They all dispersed.

Aunt Cai was a person who kept her word. After returning home, she put down her things and brought the cart over. She also kept telling Xun Yingju that the cart could be used as she pleased during the off-farm season and there was no need to worry about other things.

Faced with such an enthusiastic aunt, Xun Yingju also repeatedly expressed that she would not be polite. She only sent Aunt Cai out after dark and locked the door.

Returning to the kitchen, Xun Yingju carefully observed the condition of the pot of hawthorn cake, and then used a sieve to pick up the impurities in the pot. After this operation, the hawthorn cake in the pot became more translucent, and the fragrance in the pot became richer. She When I knew it was time to take out the pot, I immediately found the wooden bucket I bought today and scooped the food directly into the bucket with a large ladle.

Chun Mian had been staying in the kitchen, watching helplessly as a pot of Shanlihong turned into hawthorn cake. She was curious and asked:"Mom, is this hawthorn cake?"

"Let cool, and after solidification, it will be hawthorn cake."Xun Yingju felt very happy. In her previous life, she liked to stay at home and cook delicious food. She also made hawthorn cake at home. However, the tools were complete at that time, but now the tools for making are simple. Originally, she only planned to try it, and she did not plan to succeed in the first time. She had to try it twice, but she didn't expect that she succeeded the first time.

Thinking of this, Xun Yingju took out three porcelain bowls, scooped out three bowls of hawthorn cake liquid from the porcelain basin, and said with a smile:"Mom, you and Yusheng One bowl per person, go and taste it first"

"Can Yusheng and I eat too?"Chun Mian was a little flattered and immediately asked quietly

"Of course, we made it ourselves and of course we have to be the first to eat it. Go quickly, we will make dinner later."Xun Yingju urged immediately.

After Chun Mian left, Xun Yingju broke off a pot of hawthorn and went to the well to clean it, preparing to cook another pot at night. The hot hawthorn water was placed in the bowl to cool down quickly, and finally turned into a cake shape. Bai and Liang The little girl has already started eating. The first bite is sweet and sour, completely different from hawthorn. Eating too much hawthorn will make your teeth sore, but eating hawthorn cake is different. It melts in your mouth and can also stimulate the appetite.

"Well, delicious."This is Bai's first time eating this sweet and sour pastry, and she really thinks it tastes good.

"Girl, the hawthorn cake is really delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious cake in my life." Chun Mian echoed repeatedly.

Yusheng on the side also nodded repeatedly, and did not forget to praise his girl, saying:"It melts in the mouth, sweet and sour but not sweet, soft and appetizing. I have never had such good food in my house before."

"Ha ha"

"What are you saying, girl? There is no way to speak."Mr. Bai has lived in Xun Mansion for more than ten years. She knows the rules of a wealthy family very well. The servants must not talk about the master.

"Mom, aren’t we in the countryside? Not so many rules. Xun Yingju didn't like those rules the most, so she immediately helped Yusheng speak up.

Seeing that her daughter didn't look like a young lady, Bai felt helpless and thought to herself:"This girl must not have the rules of a young lady. What should she do in the future?""

The two little girls knew they had said something wrong. They finished the remaining hawthorn cake in a few mouthfuls and ran into the kitchen to cook. Dinner was brown rice porridge and mixed-noodle steamed buns sent by Aunt Cai. There were no wild vegetables, so there was no food. Green vegetables

"Mom, let’s plant some vegetables in the yard? Xun Yingju glanced at the dinner on the table and said with some dissatisfaction.

Bai, who grew up in the countryside, was no stranger to growing vegetables. She nodded and said,"Well, you will sell some rapeseeds back tomorrow and I will plant them in the yard." Once the land is plowed, you can plant vegetables."

It's March now, and you can eat vegetables in about half a month after planting rapeseeds. Thinking of eating vegetables, I wonder what kinds of vegetables were available in the Zhou Dynasty. Can I find those various vegetables in the previous life? It's best There are also chili peppers, so you can eat a lot of delicious food.

As I thought about it, my mind became more active. The mixed-noodle steamed buns that had no other taste except salty taste were not so unpleasant to eat.

The family After dinner, Mrs. Bai went back to the house to make quilts. Yusheng chatted with Mrs. Bai and made quilts together. The two of them quickly finished four sets of quilts, then showed off their handkerchiefs and went back to sell them in the town to save some money. , for dowry.

Chun Mian and Xun Yingju made it once together, and it was much easier the second time. They continued to make hawthorn cake with Xun Yingju in the kitchen. The two of them were busy until Haishi, when they were so tired that they could not stand up, so they went back to the house to rest.

The second time Early in the morning, before dawn, Xun Yingju continued to get up early, ran to the mountains, and practiced another set of military boxing. Although her body was thin, it was very healthy. As long as she continued to exercise, it would not be a problem to regain her previous skills.

A set of military boxing exercises After three times, sweat began to form on her forehead. She stopped exercising and started to collect firewood. This time, Xun Yingju felt more and more uncomfortable without an axe, sickle or sword. She decided to buy one when she went to town today.

Originally, Xun Yingju wanted to go to the mountains to do it. I tried my luck to see if I could get some more game. Instead of selling it in the town, I could eat it at home. But I came back empty-handed, but it was getting late. I had to go to the town to sell hawthorn cakes. I was afraid it would be late. It was too late to make it to the morning market.

After dragging dry firewood back home, Bai was already cleaning hawthorns and wild dates with Chun Mian and Yu Sheng at home. Seeing the three of them, Xun Yingju immediately said:"Yu Sheng and I went to the town, Chun Mian was at home. Continue to make hawthorn cake"

"Girl, I also want to sell hawthorn cakes with you!"Chun Mian looked aggrieved. She obviously sold game meat for 200 coins yesterday, why wouldn't she be allowed to go today?

"Chun Mian, your work is more important. Yesterday you and I were the only ones making hawthorn cakes. Yesterday it was too late and we didn’t do much. Today you continue to do it at home. I will make jujube juice when I come back in the afternoon. We will sell it together tomorrow, so Your work is more important.

If you don’t make hawthorn cake in the morning, you won’t have time to make jujube juice in the afternoon. Xun Yingju explained to Chun Mian in detail and promised that in a few days, she would teach Yu Sheng how to make hawthorn cake together, and then go to the town alone for a day to take turns.

With Xun Yingju's assurance, Chun Mian finally calmed down and looked at the girl and Yu eagerly. The pushcart went out with a sound, and finally returned to the courtyard with a sense of disappointment.

Besides, Xun Yingju came out of the house with the pushcart with the sound of rain. There is a stream in front of Hongshan Village. Villagers come to the stream to wash clothes every day. At this time, there are already villagers coming. Washing clothes by the stream. Someone spotted Xun Yingju and Yusheng walking across the bridge in a cart, and they started whispering

"I heard that the county magistrate’s daughter has come back to live. Is it her?" asked a low voice

"That's right, the Xun family magistrate has never come back since he became an official. Why did he drive the charming little girl back?"The other woman laughed.

"The Xun family are outsiders in our village, so they will naturally not come back."
