spend time

Half of the greenhouses are growing new seedlings, and the other half are growing various fruits and vegetables. There is nothing special about the vegetables, they are just common ones with extra large and plump leaves. Fruits are different. There is watermelon, which is only seen in summer.

Jiang Shaohua leaned down, looked around carefully, and caught one: "This watermelon looks good."

After all, she is a princess, so when eating watermelons, she has to choose extra round ones.

Cui Du immediately said: "Princess, wait a moment, I will pick it."

The watermelon grown in the greenhouse has green skin and red soil, and the juice overflows when you bite into it.

One melon was not enough for everyone, so Cui Du picked seven or eight, washed them and cut them into pieces. The soldiers walked for half a day and ate a piece of watermelon, not to mention how delicious it was.

At this point, Cui Du still looked regretful: "This watermelon is not too sweet. In a year or two, I will breed a new variety of watermelon, and the princess will be able to eat really delicious watermelon."

Jiang Shaohua sincerely praised: "I think what I ate today was very good."

Cui Du grinned happily: "The taste is just mediocre."

It was rare to feel the pride of having seen the world in front of the princess.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced at Cui Du: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to grow more delicious food." He sighed a little: "Twenty taels of silver is not much, but it is really a lot. Officials and wealthy merchants can build it, but ordinary people cannot."

Cui Du also had some regrets: "Yes, the wood is not expensive, but the coarse cloth and oil paper used to build the roof are too expensive."

Ordinary people can pull out three to five feet of such coarse cloth to make a new suit of clothes. Nowadays, building a greenhouse requires a staggering amount of coarse cloth, which ordinary people cannot afford.

Jiang Shaohua seemed to be saying to himself: "One day, I will let all the people in Nanyang County live a good life where they can afford to build greenhouses and eat fruits."

The princess always thinks about the people.

Such a kind princess deserves everyone's love and respect.

Cui Du felt warm in his heart and whispered: "There will be a day."

Jiang Shaohua laughed, and Cui Du also laughed.

Chen Jinyu suddenly felt that he was a little redundant on the sidelines. The Mashu people felt the same way. The two looked at each other and slowed down in a tacit understanding.

A pair of boys and girls in front of them walked side by side without knowing it, and there was a strange harmony.

"Eh? Is this an eggplant?"

"Yes, there are green peppers over there."

"Is this leek?"

"Well, this area is planted with leeks. Once you cut a crop of leeks, another crop will grow. They are delicious and easy to grow. Some people are used to growing some in their own small yards, and they can cut a handful whenever they want to eat. What I planted in the greenhouse are high-quality seeds that have been selected. I applied enough fertilizer and grew exceptionally well. If the princess stays at the farm tonight, I will make a leek box for the princess to eat! "

"Is the leek box delicious?"

"The princess will know once she tastes it."

That night, Jiang Shaohua tasted the leek box made by Cui Du himself.

Jiang Shaohua has been well-fed and well-educated since he was a child. There are eight chefs in the palace who can cook all kinds of cuisines. There is also a chef who specializes in making dim sum, and he has tasted all kinds of delicacies.

This kind of common people's pasta, such as leek box, is not elegant. This is Jiang Shaohua's first time to eat it. When you bite into it, the dough is crispy and the filling is delicious.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes lit up: "It's really delicious."

Cui Du raised his eyebrows proudly: "There is a secret to my leek box. When people make this, pure leeks are used as fillings. I specially use fat and lean meat, oil it, mince it into minced meat, and mix it with the leeks. Let’s make the stuffing together. It tastes extra delicious this way.” If there’s enough oil and water, wouldn’t it make it more delicious?
What's more, in order to make this pot of chive boxes, he did everything by himself, from kneading the dough to mixing the stuffing, rolling out the dough and making pancakes, and then personally cooking the pancakes. He stared at the fire as carefully as he did when writing a paper. There is no reason why such a carefully made leek box should not be delicious.

He also specially picked a few cucumbers, seasoned them with salt and minced garlic, stir-fried a plate of tender leaves, and paired them with a bowl of braised pork.

Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled, stopped talking, and ate half of the leek box with concentration.

Cui Du grinned at first, but then he became a little worried: "Can the princess still eat it? The princess likes to eat, I will just do it in the future. Don't hold on."

"My appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people, and I can't hold it back." Jiang Shaohua smiled casually and said, "How is it? Have you never seen a girl who can eat like me?"

Cui Du is also a real person: "I've never seen him before."

I have never seen such a beautiful, intelligent, powerful and capable person!
I have never seen a girl who is kind and generous to the people.

The princess is unique in heaven and earth!

Jiang Shaohua didn't seem to understand the meaning of Cui Du's words, and said with a crooked smile: "I had a great time tonight, and I have to reward you heavily! Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Cui Du quickly declined: "The princess rewarded me with 20,000 taels of silver and asked me to build a thousand greenhouses. I am already satisfied. How can I ask for another reward from the princess..."

"With so many greenhouses, there is always a need for manpower to take care of them. How about I pick a hundred dexterous people from the family members of the guards to come to the farm and do what you assign them to do?"

Cui Du's eyes lit up and he immediately changed his words: "Thank you so much, Princess!"

Facts have proved that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

Jiang Shaohua smiled sweetly.

……

Chen Changshi and others also ate the leek box tonight.

What they ate was cooked by the chef and tasted very fresh. Paired with a few side dishes, a few glasses of wine, and the autumn evening breeze, it feels so beautiful.

Chen Jinyu looked around from time to time.

Chen Changshi glanced at his granddaughter: "If the princess and Mr. Cui have something important to say, you can wait here with peace of mind."

Chen Jinyu had no choice but to look away and murmured in a low voice: "Men and women are alone, under the melons and plums. I'm afraid that if word spreads, it will damage the princess's reputation."

Chen Changshi said calmly: "The princess is the king, and we are the ministers. In the eyes of the ministers, there is no difference between men and women. The princess often calls me to discuss matters alone."

How is this the same!

My grandfather is old enough to be the grandfather of the princess. That Cui Du is the same age as the princess.

Chen Jinyu quietly answered in her heart.

The leek box was so delicious that she quickly blocked her mouth.

After dinner, the princess was not idle either. Accompanied by Cui Du, she went to visit the farm.

Chen Jinyu wanted to follow, but Ma Yaozong coughed and laughed: "After a busy day, Chen Sheren must be tired. Let's go and rest first! Behind the princess, there is Qin Guard Meng Guards following, so everything will be fine."

Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao were not stupid at all and followed him from a distance. The rest were about a dozen soldiers, and they dispersed far away, so as not to disturb the princess and Mr. Cui's gossip.

"The moon is extra round tonight," Jiang Shaohua stopped and said, "Cui Du, are you used to living here? Do you miss home?"
