Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 247

Qin Ye came over and said, "Yaoyao, take Master Feng and Master Ning to rest at home, it's hot and stuffy here."

The autumn tiger is comparable to the scorching heat, and it is also very unbearable. Besides, the sun is shining now, how can those young masters with thin skin and tender flesh bear it.

Gu Ning said: "No, we just came to the field to have a look, but we lost our original intention when we went home."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "I'll find something delicious for you." She drilled for a while, and came out with a swallow tree on her shoulders, and a few corn stalks in her hand.

Feng Haoran asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xiurong explained: "That's Yanyou, it's delicious, like a small grape." She took it and picked it off one by one, took a beige veil to wipe it, and put it on. Pass it to Gu Ning and Feng Haoran.

Gu Ning thanked him, took a bite and ate it, nodded slightly, "It's delicious."

Over there, Xiuyao broke off those few sweet corn stalks and handed him a piece. Gu Ning reached out and took it, then looked at Xiuyao.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "It's like eating sugarcane."

Gu Ning smiled, and really started to eat, Xiurong was a little stunned, she didn't expect that someone like Gu Ning would eat such vulgar food, let alone that Gu Ning who ate such vulgar food was still so elegant nice.

Feng Haoran hesitated, "Is it delicious?"

Gu Ning smiled and said, "The poison won't kill you."

Feng Haoran was not convinced, so he picked up a sip of Lu Yan and ate it. The purple juice dripped on his snow-white ramie summer shirt, and immediately blurred into a small purple flower.He smiled and said, "It's not bad, but it's not as delicious as grapes."

Xiuyao said with a smile: "Grapes also need money to buy, not for children to eat casually. But the swallows that are all over the ground can be picked and eaten casually."

Feng Haoran nodded and said, "That's true too."

Xiurong waved her hand, "It's stuffy and hot here, there's nothing to do here, let's go home, there's a grape trellis at home, it's very cool, just right for eating grapes."

Gu Ning was a little hesitant, he said: "We still have something to do, we have to..."

"Oh, what's the matter? What's there to do at Zhou's house?" Feng Haoran said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say you came to see Fanmai?"

Gu Ning saw that he had already said it, so he stopped hiding it, and said with a smile: "Then excuse me, I would like to see a few rivers over there."

Feng Haoran added: "There are rivers to be built in the province, and Gu Ning can also speak in it."

Xiuyao looked at him in surprise, he is really powerful, but Gu Ning said humbly: "What can I say, but I just help out with chores, let's take a look at the river first."

Feng Haoran said with a smile: "Look at the river course. When the time comes, a map will be drawn. Where to repair it. You should say it first, and then they will refer to it."

Xiurong said happily: "Then, should we build a canal in our village?"

Feng Haoran laughed and said, "It's useless for me to bribe him. At that time, I will just be delivering food to people."

A few people chatted and laughed and went home, Xiuyao broke a basket of corn, which was old and tender, Feng Haoran rushed over to help her carry it, the horse didn't have to drive, just followed behind him.

Mrs. Liu is making children's clothes at home and plans to send them to Xiuqin in a few days.Xiuqin got married in February, she was pregnant in a few days, and she was about to give birth in the winter solstice month.Mrs. Liu has been busy making children's clothes, shoes and hats recently.Now that her daughter is married and the family conditions are better, she doesn't want her daughter-in-law's family to feel that no one in her daughter-in-law's family is underestimated.

Seeing Feng Haoran and Gu Ning coming, Liu Shi was very surprised, but she didn't show it. She immediately put down her needlework and greeted them enthusiastically.

Seeing the gift, Liu smiled and said: "You are hungry, I will cook for you, Xiuyao, there are melons in Beijing, bring them ice-cold for Haoran and Master Ning."

The two hurriedly thanked her and exchanged greetings with her.

Xiuyao pointed to the corn in the basket, "Mother, besides food, let's make something to drink."

Feng Haoran smiled and said: "This is good. I ate the one you sent last time. It was delicious. Gu Ning, right?"

Gu Ning nodded, "That's right."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "You guys eat boiled corn, so I'll cook something else for you this time." She asked her third sister to peel off the corn kernels and soak them in water, then fish them out and grind them into a grinder.

These are slightly tender corns, with a lot of water in them, and after being milled and pushed, they become pulp and flow into the barrel with a splash.This mill was brought by Lao Liutou for Xiuyao's family. It is specially used to grind tofu and other small mills. It can be pushed by one person with a stick inserted.

Feng Haoran looked at the fun, so he went to help grind the mill, while watching the light yellow pulp flow into the bucket while turning, he smiled and said, "It's amazing."

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Don't say you haven't seen a bean grinder."

Feng Haoran was not convinced: "Gu Ning, why do you think you know so much? I even wonder if you are the young master of the Gu family."

Gu Ning said lightly: "I'm not really a young master." If you have a mother who loves you and a father who loves you, no matter how poor you are, you are still a young master. What kind of young master is he?

Seeing the sad expression on his face, Xiuyao just wanted to speak, but he smiled as gently as before, and said: "I like to go to the farm with my grandfather since I was a child, so I naturally know more than you. "

After grinding the corn syrup, Mrs. Liu over there has almost prepared the meals.There is a cellar at home, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and meat and fish are not easy to spoil in it.Especially in the past two days, the family is busy with farming, and everyone is tired from work. Meat and fish are always on hand, but we can eat hard.

Knowing that Feng Haoran and Gu Ning usually eat big fish and meat, Liu Shi wanted to eat some light game, but it was too rough for others to swallow, so she made a few refreshing side dishes, and another crucian carp tofu soup , and a small pot of cold salt wormwood.

Gu Ning ate with relish, and was surprised: "There is such a thing here?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "I entrusted a friend to buy the seeds from Laizhou Mansion. We planted them casually, and unexpectedly a large area grew."

Gu Ning nodded and said with a smile: "This food is good, if you eat it often, you will live longer." But at such a young age, she was surprised to have such a capable friend.

Upon hearing this, Liu said with a smile: "With what Master Ning said, we will have to eat more in the future." She said and went to fill a small pot, "You guys eat, I'll send it to his grandfather's house .”

When Mrs. Liu came back, everyone had almost finished eating. Feng Haoran ate very happily and said with a smile: "Mother Liu, I think your cooking is better than our cook's."

Liu said with a smile: "That's the fourth young master. You are tired of eating. If you eat my food every day, you will feel dull. A few days ago, we were still eating black noodles with wild vegetables all day long."

Feng Haoran was a little guilty, he sighed: "We were not good in those two years, and we didn't help you mother Liu in time."

Liu Shi said: "Fourth young master, you are kind, but there is no need to be so. Second Mistress has already helped us a lot. If it weren't for Second Mistress, our family would not even be able to pay the small tax in the past two years." Liu Shi said another word about Feng To help Feng Haoran as much as possible, so that Feng Haoran doesn't have to feel sad that he didn't help them.Besides, the Liu family didn't feel that the Feng family was obliged to help her at all. If they didn't help, they should.

Xiuyao also smiled and said: "Brother Feng, most of the money we earn now is due to shopkeeper Feng. If you say that again, shopkeeper Feng will cry when he hears it, thinking that we will erase his credit."

Gu Ning has been slowly tasting the plate of salt wormwood, he said with a smile: "This dish looks ordinary, but it is actually very easy to maintain health. If it is sold to the city, please ask the doctor of the medical center to say a few words. Profitable."

Xiuyao's heart skipped a beat, "Then I'll ask Dr. Sun to try it."

Feng Haoran smiled and said, "I'll take it back for you."

Xiuyao shook her head, "That's not necessary. It's better to ask him to do something, and it's better to be more sincere." She felt that Sun Langzhong's temper was a bit weird, sometimes he felt very easy-going, but sometimes he was a little perverse, and offended him accidentally.I haven't seen you for a few days, so it's better for her to go by herself.

After eating, Xiuyao came to make tea. She thought that people like Feng Haoran and Gu Ning would not drink ordinary tea, but it was just for the occasion.Who knew that Gu Ning didn't violate harmony at all when he drank it, without frowning, as if he was born to drink this kind of tea.But Feng Haoran stopped drinking after taking a sip, and only talked to them.

After talking, Gu Ning went to get a pen and paper, and asked Xiuyao a few questions, most of which were about how to plant the corn, how to care for it, and how to harvest it.He refined the problems to how to soak the seeds, the requirements for fertilizing the cultivated land, the frequency of weeding and moisture conservation, the stage of growth and development, the diseases that are prone to occur, and so on.

Xiuyao explained everything one by one, and Gu Ning admired her eloquent answers, "If someone from the county came to ask, would you dare to answer?"

Xiuyao smiled brightly, "Why not dare?" At the beginning of their farm, the leaders of the central government came to inspect, and she was responsible for receiving them all, so it may not be so frightening. The people who came to inspect were just going through the motions , with a very kind attitude.If it is to find fault, of course the leader will not come, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing her so confident, Feng Haoran said with a smile: "Yaoyao, you are so powerful, even my brothers and sisters, the county magistrate will be so nervous to ask questions."

Xiuyao said modestly: "It's not that I'm good, but I know that the county magistrate came to care about this kind of thing, and he didn't come to blame. If he came to blame, I would have been scared to death."

Everyone laughed at what she said, and Mrs. Liu went to wash the grapes again, "We made them in our own house, and they were soaked in well water."

The purple grapes are well washed, sweet and delicious with a slight sour taste.

After taking a break, Gu Ning said goodbye to Feng Haoran. It was the first time they came here, and it was good to have a meal, so they couldn't stay for too long.

Knowing that her family didn't have any good things, and there was no shortage of melons and fruits, she gave them a few baskets of corn and brought them back for Second Mistress and the others to taste.
