Splendid peasant girl busy farming

The performance of Fuwa and Jun'er made Sun, Xiaohua and the others laugh.

When I was in the capital, the food standard at home was only better than when I was in Changping Village.

The capital is the capital of Daqi, where cargoes, passengers and supplies from south to north are exchanged and gathered. Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground and swims in the water, as long as you have money, you can buy everything.

If you have money and connections, you can eat rare ingredients from foreign countries.

Da'an was an official in the capital, but he was a refreshing official and a breath of fresh air in the court.

The disadvantage is that people are surrounded by people who are honest and incorruptible, which makes people unable to grasp the clues. However, they will also lose a lot of connections invisibly.

The rich and powerful are intertwined, taking care of each other, and even bind each other's interests more deeply through marriage.

Da'an does not have these things, but the advantage is that it is not easy to get caught in the whirlpool of power struggles.

There are deeper benefits.

That is, Da'an is deeply trusted and valued by Emperor Qi Xingyun.

Because Da'an had a clean mind, because Da'an did not join gangs, and because Da'an was talented and capable, the emperor would privately summon Da'an to the imperial study to discuss many important decisions that could not be discussed in court.

Although Da'an's salary is only that much, one person has to support a family in the capital city where land is scarce, as well as servants and guards at home, and even fodder for mules and horses traveling in the backyard. These are all Da'an's burdens.

If they don't fish, the family will definitely have to live frugally.

But precisely because Da'an didn't make money, the emperor saw all this and would reward Da'an whenever he had the opportunity.

During the holidays, eunuchs would be sent to deliver gifts to the Da'an mansion.

Even considering that Da'an is a filial son, he left his hometown and came to the capital to serve as an official after he passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen. In these years, he spent less time with relatives and friends in his hometown and was away from him more.

Therefore, the emperor gave Da'an an extra month during the New Year's holiday every year.

In addition to the days of traveling back and forth, he can still have enough time to celebrate the New Year at home and maintain the relationship with his family members in his hometown.

In addition to the emperor's care, Da'an actually has several properties in the capital.

One is a winery and wine shop that brews and sells wine, and there is also a factory-like handicraft workshop that is used to collect wool to make fine wool threads for clothing.

These two industries were established in the capital before Yang Ruoqing was thirty years old.

After she turned thirty, she returned to her hometown to take care of the elderly and children. Her career focus shifted to making a living in several restaurants in her hometown, as well as her roots - the herb collection team and the transportation team.

As for the industries in the capital, Yang Ruoqing transferred them to Daan to take care of.

Therefore, Da'an and his family lived in the capital city where land was scarce, and even without the emperor's reward, they still had the conditions to live a comfortable life.

Not to mention the chicken that Yu Zhong's family placed in the middle of the table, even ostrich meat, turkey meat, swan meat, Feng'er, Fuwa, and Jun'er can all be eaten if you want.

Even though I stayed at the inn in the town behind last night, I still ordered chicken, duck and fish for dinner.

They had just had a big dinner last night. When they saw the chicken on Yu Zhong's table, these two little greedy cats were drooling. They really are children, and this is how they play house. "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, don't be stunned, eat it while it's hot!"

Yu Zhong greeted warmly, and his mother-in-law also sent a long-handled spoon. She put it into Sun's hand with evasive eyes and said in a low voice: "The soup is stewed by old hens that have been raised at home for two years. The nobles make do with it." Deal with it!"

Mrs. Sun took the big spoon handed over by the woman and said with gratitude: "My brother and sister are so polite. Such a good old hen brought us stew. This is the best dish."

"It's nothing. Nobles, please don't dislike farm food..."

"Hey, what are you talking about, brother and sister? Are you noble or not? We are all honest villagers and we live in Changping Village."

"We are going to the capital in the spring to help my son-in-law take care of the baby. Let me tell you, brothers and sisters, I used to raise chickens at home every year..."

"When I smell the chicken soup you stew, I know you raise the chickens well."

Well, Yang Huazhong and Yu Zhong went out for a walk in the fields, narrowed the distance between them, and wanted to take over.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu Zhong also found a common topic because of raising chickens.

So the next meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. The hard dish on the table was a big bowl of old hen soup, and then there was egg and mushroom soup for the children.

I fried a large plate of cabbage, a large plate of spinach, and finally the sauerkraut made by Mrs. Yu Zhong herself.

"Brothers and sisters, is this cabbage brought home by Queen Snow?"

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Sun followed Mrs. Yu Zhong to the kitchen as a matter of course. Mrs. Sun wanted to help clear the dishes, but Mrs. Yu Zhong refused.

Mrs. Sun then sat at the mouth of the stove and helped add a handful of firewood to the stove. Mrs. Yu Zhong used the warm hot water in the pot to clean the pot and wash the dishes, while Mrs. Sun sat at the mouth of the stove and chatted with her.

"As soon as I put this cabbage in my mouth, I knew it was Snow Queen's cabbage." Mrs. Sun added.

"My sister-in-law has a really good tongue. I did pull it out from the snow earlier," Mrs. Yu Zhong said with a shy smile. "They were all lying on the ground under the heavy snow, and so was the spinach. I went there just after dawn this morning. There were two big baskets of cabbage and spinach being pulled out in the vegetable garden."

"Sister-in-law, you guys came to my house that time. I just came back and sat down..."

At this point, the woman suddenly stopped, realizing that she seemed to have said something inappropriate.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sun was surprised when she heard what the woman said, and she apologized a little, "It's been freezing for so long. We happened to come over to your house for help at that time. We didn't know your situation, so we even sent you You mothers kicked out the fire bucket... I'm really sorry."

Mrs. Yu Zhong's face turned red, and she didn't bother to shake the pot water in her hands. She hurriedly explained to Mrs. Sun: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that...I, oh, I'm stupid and can't speak."

But Mrs. Sun smiled with a kind face: "It's okay, it's okay, I know what you mean, sister-in-law, you and brother Yu Zhong are both good people,"

"We met by chance and brought our whole family to you for help. You treating us like this is already a huge kindness!"

"Otherwise, it's freezing and snowy outside, so we adults would be fine, but our three children would suffer a lot. Fortunately, you and your wife took us in. I'm so grateful!"

Mrs. Yu Zhong waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. Not to mention that we are all fellow villagers from the same county. Even if you really come here from other places, when you come to our door, you won't dare to eat or drink, but we can still entertain you with hot tea and rice." Just for a moment.”

Mrs. Sun's face was filled with emotion when she heard this, and she just lamented that her family was lucky. In such extremely bad weather, with nowhere to go or a shop, they could still meet such kind-hearted people to help them.
