The lady may not be human

Chapter 358
Mrs. Cao was listening, and she couldn't control her saliva.

A noble lady like her who cares about her image can't be like Dong Nuan, because when she is away from home, she represents not only herself, but also the image of Cao Mansion.

Being the mistress of the house, eating peaches in public, this...

Mrs. Cao didn't dare to think about what others would think if it was spread out.

It's not that she just likes to carry it, she also wants to relax, but there's no way, the rich and powerful circles want to save face and pay attention to their image, so she has to follow along.

At this time, she was quite envious of Dong Nuan's casual behavior.

The little girl grew up in the countryside, and now she is favored by His Majesty. Even if she did something, it might not be such a dignified thing, but when those people saw it, they would say a few words in secret at most, and they had to praise in different ways on the surface. .

It's not like her, if she really ate like this and spread the word back, those noble ladies who didn't deal with her must want to blame her.

Mrs. Cao was a little envious, but she controlled it in the end. She decided to eat a peach after returning home.

Close the door and eat it yourself, instead of letting the maids peel the skin, cut it into small pieces and serve it up!
Dong Nuan also knew that noble ladies pay attention to their image, so they didn't urge Mrs. Cao to eat.

The person in charge has already weighed the peaches.

It is probably a new tree, and it bears less fruit than the one in Liangzhou County.

However, there is also a stone and a fight.

Seeing this number, the manager opened his mouth wide.

You know, he has many years of experience in serving Zhuangzi, and he has also served peach trees, but the peach tree he has seen has the most fruit, which is like seven buckets.

In most cases, peach trees bear more than five or six buckets of fruit, which is normal.

But there are more than one stone, and all of them are juicy, tender and white with pink tinge.

This is this...

The steward was really shocked.

The number of spring peach trees in Dongnuan is not too many. After picking one, the rest can be kept, and Dongnuan has not moved for the time being.

On this tree, there are some smaller ones, of course relatively smaller ones, and Dong Nuan directly let the long-term workers throw them into separate baskets.

Dong Nuan is a generous owner, so Dong Nuan directly dumped these smaller peaches to the manager: "You guys share them, the first year will bear fruit, try something new."

Hearing this, the steward was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly thanked Dong Nuan.

The generosity of the host family is also their blessing.

In the past, they could only look at such a good peach, even if he was in charge, he didn't dare to keep it privately, two or three small peaches, it would be nice to try something new.

Now that the master's family is generously rewarding them, even if there are not a few people in charge, they still need to share with those who watch the fruit trees, but at least the master's attitude is here. In the future, these fruit forests will grow, and they will be less. ?

Xiao Taozi added it together, barely reaching two buckets, and there were still eight buckets left.

There were a lot of them, so Dongnuan had someone carry them to the carriage and bring them back to the house on the Zhuangzi.

Apart from those peaches that were sent to the palace for Concubine Rong, there were also some peaches that needed to be used for socializing.

After all, it's a fresh taste.

"By the way, what's going on with Chun Xing?" When Dong Nuan was thinking about how to arrange Tao Zi, she still didn't forget the apricot that was about to mature.

In fact, Dongnuan didn't know what kind of apricot it was, but it was the most vigorous one that could be caught nearby when she gave birth, and it should be spring apricot, or early summer apricot.

What kind of variety, whether it tastes good or not, is unknown.

It's not like the peaches that are picked now, because when I was in the county last year, I was born, and I am very familiar with that force, so Dong Nuan found a variety that she thought tasted good, and then improved it.

She is now quite proficient in using the power of the source, and she has a certain ability to optimize and innovate.

"Some of them have already turned red, and they can be picked within a day or two." The manager is watching every day, and he and another manager are mainly responsible for watching the fruit forest.

The two managers walked around under the trees that had already borne fruit and observed.

If they were not afraid of wasting pen and ink, they would also like to write an observation diary to record the daily changes of those fruits.

"Well, I'll pick them when the weather is good in two days." Dong Nuan thought for a while, and decided to pick them in two days, and give away this batch of peaches first.

Because the climate in Beijing is not as good as that in Liangzhou, I can't grow loquats. It's a pity that the fruit tastes good, although some are sour, but it's fresh to eat.

After the peaches were brought back, Dongnuan asked Lvzhu to fetch baskets from the warehouse.

Dongnuan had clearly arranged the whereabouts of these fruits early in the morning.

Therefore, the small bamboo baskets for peaches have also been woven.

Dong Nuan personally guided it, and several craftsmen learned it for a few days, and then became proficient for a few days, and made it up after they were thoroughly familiar with it.

Like the kind of beautiful fruit baskets of later generations, although the quantity is not large, but as a gift, one is fresh, the other is the heart, and the other is the visual feeling.

Mrs. Cao followed all the way, looking at this beautiful basket, she couldn't help but want to ask for a few back.

It may not be useful, but just looking at it makes me feel good.

Dong Nuan is very generous to Rong Concubine, Cao's elder sister. Although she is capable, it is also because of the power of the Cao family that she got up.

Whenever you meet someone who is not kind and takes Dongnuan's things as your own, according to Dongnuan's status as a commoner before Dongnuan, you really can't do anything to him. If you want to take revenge, you have to change your tricks and think of ways.

Therefore, the Cao family is kind, and Dongnuan is willing to treat him with sincerity.

Dong Nuan put four flower baskets of peaches for Concubine Rong, the flower baskets were too decorative, one basket could hold five to six peaches.

Dong Nuan took a good meaning and put six in each basket.

Four baskets are just more than twenty peaches. Concubine Rong may have her own contacts. She is pregnant now, so she has to eat some if she is greedy.

So, there’s nothing wrong with sending more.

Mrs. Cao brought it back to the mansion by herself, so there is no need to make it so beautiful.

Don't want Mrs. Cao to think too much, Dong Nuan also explained: "We eat at home, the purpose is to save money, and we don't engage in these bells and whistles."

Then, Dong Nuan found a particularly large basket, filled it with peaches, and covered it with a beautiful cloth.

There were four flower baskets on top of that basket, Mrs. Cao was watching, her eyes twitched, and her hand was raised quickly: "Don't pretend to be so much, don't pretend to be so much, there is no way to finish eating."

In fact, there are many people in the family.

"Add more decorations, my family, don't try the first wave." Dongnuan took another basket of the same size, and then opened it.
