Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 621: Chatting about Family and Private Life
Some people often complain when chatting, and they complain all the time and anywhere like taking out the garbage. If you get along with them for a long time, you will feel full of negative energy.

Ma Shan wouldn't do that. Even if she occasionally points out other people's faults, it is just to relieve her unhappiness. After she's done talking about something interesting, she will talk about something else and her mentality is very good.

Compared with several couples of similar age, including Zhou Daya, Zhou Banxia prefers to chat and gossip with Ma Shan.

The same is true for Ma Shan.

No matter what she said in front of San Ya, she didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. She could say whatever she wanted. If she said something wrong unintentionally, San Ya wouldn't take it seriously.

The most important thing is that San Ya is tight-lipped. There is no need to worry about anything being spread out of her mouth. Not only will she side with her relatives, but she will also side with others.

Just like Sanlang's wife said, in Sanya's eyes, all sisters-in-law are sisters-in-law, but she is not only the sister-in-law, but also the eldest sister-in-law, different and closer.

All of them put together are not as close to her as the eldest sister-in-law. If Dalang's wife wants to fight with her, San Ya will definitely protect her and ignore Dalang's wife.

Outside the warm room, the two sisters-in-law were chatting happily about everything. As they were chatting, Xiao Suocheng fell asleep. It was getting dark, and Ma Shan didn't leave.

When Zhou Banxia suggested staying to have dinner with her, Ma Shan nodded immediately and asked the maid to go to the east courtyard to bring Changsuo over. As for her man?
No more.

Anyway, when her child's father came back from the town clinic, he would always go to the main courtyard to see his parents before returning to the east courtyard. If he happened to arrive at dinner time, he would eat before returning to the house.

So filial.

Another thing is, there’s a female guest coming to the house tomorrow, and Liu Lang will be at home after his exams in a few days, so it would not be appropriate for her to stay here all the time.

As she was thinking about it, Ma Shan jokingly asked Zhou Banxia to give instructions, saying that there should be nothing special for dinner or breakfast, just cook less meat and serve two more plates of vegetables.

For example, there are leeks, spinach, and young cucumbers growing in the greenhouse. I have to pick more of them while my brother-in-law is not at home.

When Zhou Banxia heard this, she refused to agree, "Brother Liu Lang is not stingy, he told you to just pick the fruits in the kitchen over there, it's you who is being picky.

We built the greenhouse not to make money, but for our own consumption when it's cold and we can't get fresh vegetables. You're just being polite."

Ma Shan didn't want to compete with her for the victory, so she smiled and rolled her eyes at her, "Yes, I'm being picky and polite, just wait until you give birth to the baby and see what's left in the greenhouse.

It’s a pity that we don’t have hot springs here. My father went into the mountains to look for them a while ago. Just like what you said, if we find one in the mountains, we can just grow vegetables and make a lot of money at the end of the year.”

Yes, it’s not just about growing vegetables. Soaking in hot springs is very comfortable, which is incomparable to a hot bath. It’s a pity that there are many mountains here, but you can’t find a hot spring.

Of course, unless it is deep in the mountains, ordinary people would not be able to hold it even if they found it. With the status and wealth of the Gao family, they would have no share in the Tangquan Manor in the suburbs of Beijing.

Her uncle now owns a Tangquan manor at the foot of the West Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. It is not a returned ancestral property, but a reward from the current emperor for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor.

It is said that when Daliang was founded, most of the heroes who made great contributions to the founding of the country had a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing, but by the third generation, most of the heads of the family had returned to the royal family.

This should be the so-called "the grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations". It is not a hereditary title and it cannot be held. After that, it is out of control.

Nowadays, most of the hot spring villas, big and small, in the suburbs of Beijing are in the hands of the prince. Even so, they are still in the hands of the prince who fell and rose again.

This frightened her uncle, so he dared not recuperate in Tangquan Manor surrounded by the princes. It was no match for staying in Zhoujia Village, where he could be comfortable. In other words, Tangquan Manor was useless now. It was too far away. Not to mention soaking in hot springs and enjoying the snow scenery, the vegetables and fruits produced in winter would have been frozen by the time they were sent here.

Zhou Banxia showed a regretful expression on her face. "Tangquan, I don't dare to think about it. It's a blessing that the greenhouse can be fixed. It's a pity that it's still too bad."

"Take it easy."

This really has nothing to do with speed. The couple does know how to build a vegetable greenhouse, it just requires good technology and good materials to match.

First of all, the plastic film used to cover the greenhouse is a big problem. There is a roll of it in the warehouse of the villa mobile house, but how can we dare to take it out and use it?
Nowadays, her family's greenhouse technology is very primitive, but the cost is not low, and the output is not high. In the final analysis, the fresh vegetables produced are expensive and unaffordable.

For tender cucumbers, it is better to buy them when they are on the market in large quantities and store them in the ice cellar. It is more cost-effective to keep one out of ten than to grow them out of season.

It just so happened that she and her husband had a villa, and she happened to be pregnant, so her husband built such a greenhouse to hide it from others.

Otherwise, there is no need to go to such lengths. Just like Yunkelai, you should prepare for the lean season and cellaring the wine is the most worry-free and cost-effective method.

Thinking of this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but ask Ma Shan if the fruits and vegetables stored in the cellar in the East Courtyard were still there, especially the pumpkins and watermelons.

As for cucumbers, you can tell without asking that they must have been eaten up. Her sister-in-law loves cucumbers so much, whether pickled, raw or cooked.

It’s just that the cucumbers were on the market in large quantities before, which was in May and June, and then in August. This period was the busiest time.

Not only was the sister-in-law very polite, she did order people to buy more and stock up more, but the focus was not on cucumbers, but on fresh fruits, peaches, plums, etc.

Therefore, the cucumbers prepared at home this year, including those in the workshop canteen, are mainly pickled. After all, pickled products are easier to store for a long time.

"…We just moved a truckload of pumpkins from the backyard cellar in the village a few days ago. There were so many of them, not to mention the pumpkins, there were seven or eight watermelons alone.

Just relax. If you are short of something or want to eat something, I will ask you for it even if you don’t tell me. I have a lot of mountain products here, so don’t buy them, okay?”

"I didn't buy any." Seeing Ma Shan glaring at him, Zhou Banxia blinked in amusement, "I'm not kidding you, really, I just ordered people to collect mountain products when it was hot.

Later, there were the August Festival and the September 9th Festival, and there were more gifts returned. Even now, there are still several large bags of mushrooms in the warehouse at the back. I will definitely ask you for them after I finish eating them. "

"If you say so, I don't dare to compete with you." Ma Shan couldn't help laughing, "Daya said you don't like to eat this stuff."

"No, my eldest sister must be thinking that I don't dare to eat fresh mushrooms. Because when I was a kid, I could eat everything except dried mushrooms."

And this thing?
Ma Shan was surprised, "Is it not cooked thoroughly?"

"No, it has to be dried before it can be eaten."

"What now?"

"It got much better after I was ten years old, but I still rarely eat freshly picked ones. Think about it, do I rarely pick up my chopsticks on weekdays?"
