I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 105
Su Ming picked up the handkerchief and wiped his nose, then inhaled. Doesn't it look like he caught a cold?

Feeling that someone was talking about him behind his back, Su Ming tightened his cloak.

"It should be because of the sudden cold weather. By the way, there are a lot of people ordering hot pot these days. Tell the back chef to prepare more dishes."

Su Ming said to Xiao Er who moved the brazier to the desk, and Xiao Er went down in response.

Seeing Xiaoer come out of the room, Su Ming looked at the ledger again with some headaches.

Although the hot pot business is booming, but after the snow falls, there are many fewer edible vegetables.

There are fewer things that customers can iron, so naturally they will make less money!

Nowadays, the vegetables in the store can be barely maintained by selling vegetables grown in a village with a hot spring in the owner's house.

But if the hot pot business is to be sold in all branches across the country, it is impossible for every branch to have a Zhuangzi with hot springs, right?
The most important thing is that this vegetable can only be grown near the hot spring, and it cannot be grown far away.

As a result, there are naturally fewer and fewer vegetables that can be provided.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know that shopkeeper Su was also troubled by the lack of vegetables!
Although Ning Pengpeng did this, he didn't know if it would work.

However, God obviously felt her sincerity, as well as the sincerity of Ning's second child. In Ning Youshou, Ning Youshou treated these pepper seedlings like precious eggs, and brought in a charcoal basin on time every day to keep warm in the bamboo shed.

At night, add another layer of straw to keep warm on the pepper seedlings.

After half a month, these pepper seedlings bloomed!

"Ask Mian'er to borrow her writing brush, you remember, use the brush to touch these flower buds, and you must touch all of them."

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and now every morning when I get up, the snow is one foot thick.

Therefore, in this winter, even if the peppers bloom, there will be no peppers without bees to pollinate them!

Fortunately, Ning Pengpeng had heard about artificial pollination.

Anyway, whether it works or not, let’s try this operation first.

In the other bamboo sheds that did not grow peppers before, Ning Pengpeng divided two types of rapeseed and sprinkled them.

One is womb cabbage that is usually eaten, and the other is taro.

Apart from these two, Ning Pengpeng actually wants to grow one more thing, which is mushrooms.

Who can eat hot pot without eating mushrooms?

It's just that this thing seems to be really hard to find here.

When she goes to shopkeeper Su to talk about the grass curtain, she will talk to him.

After all, the owner of Chunfeng Building can even find the pepper and butter, so it must be a breeze to find the mushroom she wants.

However, apart from mushrooms, she didn't find sweet potatoes, potatoes, or yams.

Forget about the first two, how come there is no yam, it is a bit strange!
In addition to yam, there is also spinach.

Especially spinach, which is most convenient to grow in a greenhouse, is also a must-eat vegetable for hot pot.

It's a pity, maybe because it's too remote here, I haven't seen it before.

Ning Pengpeng is not sure whether these dishes that are very common in modern times exist or not.

Anyway, no matter if there is one or not, let the owner of Chunfeng Building help to find it!

This time, it was Pei Yan's turn to sneezed hard at home.

"Ayan, after the Chinese New Year, do you still want to go to Mingzhou Mansion?"

Pei Zhao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Pei Yan.

"Brother, I'm not a person who can stay.

There are too many people in this capital who don't like me. Staying here, if others are unhappy, I will also feel uncomfortable.

It's better to go to Mingzhou Prefecture and be alone. "

Pei Yan's unruly look made Pei Zhao frown.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Don't worry, big brother. In my heart, you will always be my big brother, and we are brothers.

Others belong to others, and you belong to you.

Some things, even if I tell them, others will not believe them.

So, I just need to be clear.

As long as I leave the capital, everyone's hearts will be at ease, why not? "

Pei Yan knew that Pei Zhao wanted to talk clichés again, so she raised her hands high and begged for mercy.

"My lord, Mr. Yuan, Minister of Guanglu Temple, seeks an audience."

Before Pei Zhao could speak, the followers outside the study came to report.

"Okay, big brother, get down to business!

I will go back to my yard first, and when I leave, I will definitely have a good drink with my elder brother and have a long talk. "

Hearing what the attendant said, Pei Yan stood up quickly, and after handcuffing with Pei Zhao, she quickly opened the door and walked out.

Pei Zhao had no choice but to look at Pei Yan's back and sigh softly.

Regarding the matter of the elders, as a junior, even if he knew that what he did was wrong, he couldn't say much.

Pei Yan managed to escape from her eldest brother's study, and was stopped by someone when she was halfway towards her yard.

"Second Young Master, Eldest Madam is here to invite you."

The smile on Pei Yan's face was slowly put away, and she stared at the gray-haired old woman in front of her.

She is the dowry maid of Mrs. Shen, the head of the Pei family, and is now Mrs. Shen's right-hand man.

Mrs. Shen is also Pei Yan's aunt.

How could he dare not go if his aunt asked?
But, thinking about what I promised my elder brother just now, I'm afraid I have to miss the appointment!
Sure enough, after Pei Zhao was busy with his affairs, he found out about Pei Yan. This time, Pei Yan didn't even have a Chinese New Year's family banquet, so he took his servants away!

Pei Zhao, who heard the news, locked himself in the study and did not come out for a whole afternoon.

Today's Pei family is like a raging fire cooking oil, and flowers blooming like brocade.

Every step I take, I am stepping on the possibility of falling off the single-plank bridge at any time.

It's a pity that, except for the second brother Pei Yan, no one in the Pei family can understand and understand the anxiety in his heart.

Now that his mother treats Pei Yan like this, Pei Zhao can't help but wonder if his filial piety is right.

"Second Young Master, Da Furen is really going too far. How could you not even let you participate in the Chinese New Year's family banquet, just kick you out like this!"

Wang Dong, Pei Yan's entourage, looked unconvinced.

It's definitely colder on the side of the capital city than on the side of the Mingzhou government.

The second son came back this time, but he brought a lot of good things.

But I didn't expect that these people in Pei's mansion took things, but how to treat the Second Young Master was still the same, and they didn't soften their hands just because they took things!

This is what Wang Dong is most angry about. Since he looks down on him so much, if he has the ability, he doesn't want the things from the second son!

"You also said that she is the eldest lady and my aunt.

My father didn't even open his mouth to say anything, but since my aunt has spoken, if I don't obey, wouldn't it be disobedience? "

Pei Yan smiled, with a look of habit.

In fact, since he became sensible, he knew that his status was embarrassing.

Later, the two brothers Pei Zhao and Pei Yan, at a young age, let the Pei family feel what it means to have two Jinshi in one discipline.

It's a pity that Pei Yan's intelligence is the last thing the mistress Shen wants to see.
