Chapter 265 Chapter 272 Dragon Boat Festival, picking apricots in the orchard (one more)
Not long after the zongzi was delivered, Jiang Lin and Uncle Luo came to look for Jiang Luo.

"Master, how many of the apricot trees in our orchard have ripened early and are ready to be picked. I wonder when the owner will pick them?" Uncle Luo said.

This is the first harvested fruit in Zhuangzili's orchard, and the picking day must be decided by the owner himself, which also shows Uncle Luo's solemnity for this orchard and respect for Jiang Luo.

Jiang Lin felt this, and decided to bring Uncle Luo to Jiangluo himself, instead of him deciding to pick the day.

Jiang Luo was surprised, "Really? How many trees can I pick? Are apricots usually ripen in early May?"

"The early apricots are in the first ten days, and most of them are in the middle ten days." Uncle Luo said again.

"How many apricot trees do we have in total? How many early ripening ones are there now?"

"There are 34 apricot trees in total, and there are seven early-maturing ones. This is the first picking, so we haven't picked one yet. I want to ask the owner for instructions." After Uncle Luo finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Luo.

"Tomorrow then. We'll go out the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll go pick apricots together. Brother Jiang Lin, look at someone in the village making up a box for sale this afternoon, and go buy some. Apart from what we eat, we have to give away the apricots." Be gentle, this thing won't last long, right, Uncle Luo?"

"Yes, owner, it's better to pick it off and eat it as soon as possible. It can be kept for ten days and a half months at most, and it won't be good for a long time." Uncle Luo said.

"Okay, then let's pick five trees tomorrow, and save the other two for you to pick and eat slowly." Jiang Luo said with a smile.

"Yes, owner." Uncle Luo smiled. This owner is very kind to his servants. The apricots are ripe and he doesn't plan to sell them. Instead, he insists on eating them closely.

"Owner, many people in our family have learned how to weave frames, why don't we go up the mountain to cut some wicker this afternoon and weave them ourselves?" Jiang Lin suggested.

"No, let's go buy it this time. It's a big holiday, so don't make it up. The hoeing will be finished in a few days. If you have time, you can arrange for people to make more frames for storage. The fruits in our orchard are all It can be used." Jiang Luo smiled.

"Hehe, good!" This girl is always so kind.

Uncle Luo looked at Jiang Luo with a smile, "It's the blessing of us who follow you that the owner is so kind!"

Jiang Luo chuckled, "Uncle Luo, I can have what I have today, and the completion of Splendid Villa is also dependent on you people who follow me, so if you treat me well, I will treat you well!"

"Okay, okay, this time, I really didn't misunderstand the person. I have lived for most of my life. I didn't expect that when we are old, we can still have such a blessing to live such a stable and prosperous life with the owner."

"As long as we work together, good days are yet to come." Jiang Luo said with a smile.

"Okay, let's work together!" Uncle Luo nodded heavily.

Just when several people had discussed this matter, today the guards guarding the gate came to report: The master and wife of Qingshui Villa are here.

Jiang Luo rushed out to greet her, and said with a smile: "Uncle and Auntie, please come inside quickly."

"Luo'er, we, Yi'er is not here, I'm very lonely, come to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with you and have fun!" King Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay, you're very welcome!" Jiang Luo supported Princess Xuan's arm, and several people walked towards Jiang Luo's building.

After the old man in the next room finished his bath and was helped by Jiangnan Jiangbei to pack his clothes, he heard that Qingshui Villa's in-laws had come, so he hurried to Jiangluo's building with the help of two people.

When the in-laws meet again, it is naturally lively.

Because they came suddenly, Jiang Luo decided to take them to the orchard to pick some apricots to eat.Now that they are familiar, today and tomorrow will be the same.

When the old couple heard this, they were very happy. They went to pick apricots and eat them by themselves. This was something they had never done before, and it felt very novel.

Now that everyone was going to the orchard, Jiang Lin quickly went to Ah Qi and Ah Ba to set up a few tables and chairs in the orchard for the masters to rest after picking apricots.

In fact, Jiang Luo asked them to go to the orchard in person, just to make them happy. In fact, they couldn't pick much, at most they picked a few that they ate.

When the group of them entered the orchard, the tables and chairs were all ready, and several pots of clean water and cloth towels were placed on the table. Those who washed their hands and washed apricots were properly arranged.

Although many of the guards at home didn't know who these two old men were, they knew that they must be careful when they saw that the owner of the villa was receiving them personally with a smile on their face.

The stools and ladders used for picking apricots were all made by Jiang Lin, a carpenter in the village, Uncle Shi.The stepping ladder is very safe and stable, and people can go up on both sides at the same time, and there is no need for someone to support it. It is very stable and safe on the ground under the tree.

King Xuan and his wife saw that everything was well prepared, and they couldn't help smiling. This future daughter-in-law is very thoughtful and careful.

Under the suggestion of a group of people, Jiang Luo took a small basket and picked a few.

"It's so delicious, our apricots are big and sweet." Jiang Luo said with a smile after eating the first one.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone applauded happily. The master's first sentence was also the most important.

"We want to pick it, we want to eat it too!" After Xuan Wang and his wife picked a few apricots symbolically, and after the hand addiction, the masters sat on the chairs and rested while eating apricots, watching a group of girls and boys The bustle and bustle of scrambling to pick apricots to play.

Jiang Luo helped King Xuan and his wife to wash a small dish, and watched with a smile on the scene where Xing'er, Cheng'er, and Ah Qi and Ah Ba were scrambling for ladders, and said helplessly: "It's fresh now, rush to pick it, and it will take a few days , I took them off, I’m afraid their legs will be weak when they see the ladder, hehe!”

"It's better to be young, it's just the freshness of this sub-picture, it looks so energetic. Alas, we are really old!" Princess Xuan said with a smile as she watched a group of young people making noise.

"If my in-laws call me old at such a young age, where should my old man hide?" Mr. Jiang sighed helplessly.

"Hahahaha," King Xuan laughed after hearing what the two said.

Mr. Jiang was just trying to amuse everyone, so he laughed himself after he finished speaking.

Princess Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, "My in-laws are very young, why are they so old!"

Everyone laughed again.

Mr. Jiang knew that although these words were nice and obedient, he still thought beautifully, he was still young.

A group of young people were picking apricots from the apricot tree, and Mr. Jiang called Xuan Wang and Xuan Wang to another table to fight the landlord.

While playing, the three of them sighed, "This orchard is a good place, it's not exposed to the sun and it's cool, and if you're thirsty, you can still eat fruit."

Jiang Luo's heart moved when he heard this, and he turned his head and spoke softly to Jiang Lin.

"Brother Jiang Lin, ask Uncle Shi to make some square tables and chairs in the orchard. The table at home is of normal height. It doesn't need to be too big. It's enough for four people to sit around and drink tea or play poker. Find the tree head Big ones, if there is a flat place in the open space below, it’s good to put five or six. If you have a guest on weekdays, or when you have nothing to do, you can come here to cool off.”

Jiang Lin understood as soon as he heard it, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's also suitable for two people to sit here and chat!"

"Yes, Brother Jiang Lin knows how to enjoy life more and more, haha!" Jiang Luo said with a smile.

"Follow you, you can learn everything. Then you play first, I'll talk to Uncle Shi, this kind of things that have been kept outside, in fact, it's better to make stones, not afraid of wind and rain." Jiang Lin said.

"Well, I thought about it too, but it's too late for us to find stones now. After you've been busy for a while, you can ask around, which villages have stone carvings, and order some sets of stone tables and stone benches." Jiang Luo nod.

Before arranging things for Jiang Lin, it was what she said and what he did. Now he will follow her thinking and give suggestions, which is very good.

For the Dragon Boat Festival lunch, Jiang Luo's family has a rich table.

There are fish, chicken, and pork dishes, three staple foods of rice, steamed buns, and dumplings. In addition, there are also a lot of tea eggs that are necessary on the dinner table for Nanjiang people during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today, the kitchen in Zhuangzi is divided into two rooms, with a door opened in the middle, where the staple food is cooked while the dishes are cooked.

There are now ten people in the kitchen, all led by Aunt Fu.

Jiang Lin also prepared a complete set of kitchen equipment.Even in the basement of the house next to the kitchen, a cellar was dug, with stairs going down, various shelves were placed underneath, and ice cubes prepared in winter were placed against the walls.It is also an ice cellar.

The vegetables and meat that I usually buy will be stored there if they are two days old, and they will not go bad.

On the other side of the kitchen, there are three connected rooms, which are all used as dining rooms.In each room, there is a large table that can seat twenty people.

Even though the population in Xinzhuangzi increased, Jiang Luo still maintained the tradition in the old courtyard, and everyone sat together to eat when eating.

Today, because King Xuan and Concubine Xuan are two guests, at the main table are King Xuan and his wife, Mr. Jiang and Jiang Luo, Jiang Lin and Xing'er, Cheng'er, Gua'er and Yu'er, Granny Huang, and Qi. Feng, Qi Yuanhang and others who have been waiting for Jiang Luo for a long time.

A total of [-] people were collected, and the rest were in other rooms and sat on other tables.

King Xuan and his wife didn't think it was disrespectful to the guest, but they thought it was very lively.

The three elders sat at the top, sitting in Jiang Lin on the one hand, and Jiang Luo on the other, serving the three of them non-stop.

The table is big and there are many dishes, which is not good.If the guests can't find it, they are embarrassed to stand up and pinch it.

While laying out the dishes, Jiang Luo wondered if he should ask Uncle Shi to make a second-tier rotating tabletop for the table, and just add a rotating turntable in the middle.

King Xuan and Concubine Xuan smiled and ate while watching the people in Jiang Luo's family eating together, admiring in their hearts, this feeling is very good, very happy, and the food is delicious.

There are only four members of the master's family in Prince Xuan's Mansion, and the other Dongfang family members are not in the capital, so, except for guests, there are only four people at the dinner table, which is quite cozy.

But later, after Ah Yi and Miao Miao often ran out, there was only the old couple left at the dinner table.

They know that even other big families in the capital, or families with a large number of adults, will not all eat together, and basically the servants will bring food back to their respective courtyards.Except major holidays.

But when the master and his servants eat together, there is almost no such thing.Even during Chinese New Year, the master is in the small hall, and the servants are eating in the side hall.

This kind of girl Luo's family may be due to the special population composition of her family, so she did this in order to unite everyone. I have to say that this daughter-in-law is smart and sensible, and she is very measured in doing things. This daughter-in-law If it is a man, I am afraid that he is also a very capable man, right?
Coming to Jiang Luo's house for another meal, King Xuan and his wife adored and liked their prospective daughter-in-law even more.

It can also be said that the second elder can be regarded as Jiang Luo's fan now.Any actions Jiang Luo made, any decisions, any arrangements, in their view, were very reasonable, well-reasoned, and could even be said to be very in line with their wishes.

After the meal, after the three old people had gone to rest, Jiang Luo went back to the house and asked Jiang Lin to come.

Jiang Luo's character is that when he thinks about it, he will do it.

When Jiang Lin finished listening, he was taken aback for a moment, thought about it, and couldn't figure out how the table could turn around, and then said, "Okay, I'll go find Uncle Shi, and you can tell him in person?"

"Okay," Jiang Luo nodded, Jiang Lin went to call for someone, she thought for a while, and took a pen and paper to draw the rotating table that she saw when eating in a restaurant.

After Uncle Shi came, he looked at the drawings, and after listening to Jiang Luo's explanation, he thought for a while and said, "Actually, it would be good to add a turntable and a smaller table top to our current big restaurant?"

"Yes, the upper small table top is only half a foot wider than the bottom one, and the large table top exposed just below can be used to put bowls and chopsticks."

Regardless of his age, Uncle Shi is actually very smart. Jiang Luo understood it as soon as he said it, just like Jiang Zhenqing back then.

Jiang Zhenqing is a very smart person. There are many things. Jiang Luo drew a picture and explained to him what he wanted in the end. He could immediately understand and make it according to Jiang Luo's meaning.

"Owner, I probably have a little idea about this. I'll try to make a table first. This small tabletop is to be used for putting vegetables. In addition to the tabletop being strong and stable, the material of the wood must be tough, heat-resistant and not easy to deform. Yes." Uncle Shi said thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's the truth!" Jiang Luo nodded in satisfaction. It seems that having a rotating dining table is something that can be realized soon.
