Chapter 30 Ingredients

Zhao Yuzhen learned to be a housekeeper, and the other girls studied as usual. Zhao Wangshu could not go out, but Hong Chang, Qiao Niangzi and Cheng Xiang all went out under her orders.

At the end of the month, Chengxiang brought back the account books of the two stores. Seeing that Zhao Wangshu's face was not very good after looking at the account books, he asked cautiously: "Girl, is Accord's business not good?"

“Business is very good.” Zhao Wangshu closed the account book. The newly launched Baihua Zhengyan jewelry was very popular and the profit was considerable.

What worries her is not the business of the store, but that she is trapped in the mansion and cannot come in and out freely.

When Zhao Wangshu was extremely depressed, something the Buckwheat Lady said aroused her interest. , they look inconspicuous, and the fruits they produce are green at first, and then they turn red. They are small and very beautiful. Some people are brave enough to pick them and eat them. The taste is not good, and it burns in the mouth, causing tears and runny nose. They all came out."

Listening to this description, it feels so familiar.

Isn’t this millet pepper!

Her spicy hotpot, spicy chicken, and fish head with chopped peppers can all be arranged!

Zhao Wangshu swallowed excitedly, "Mrs. Buckwheat, go to the miscellaneous store and buy me all the flowers you just mentioned, as well as the seeds."

"Girl, if you like it, just buy one or two pots. You don't need to buy them all. The seeds are useless?" Lady Buckwheat was happy to see her cheering up.

But the girl wanted to buy that useless thing, and she felt that she was talking too much and shouldn't talk about it.

Zhao Wangshu thought for a while and said: "Go and buy it, bring two pots to me, and entrust the others with the seeds to the village, and give them to my grandmother, and let her take care of them for me. ."

Mrs. Buckwheat carefully probed and asked: "Could this fruit be some kind of precious fruit?"

" Zhao Wangshu shook his hand and said: "It's not a precious fruit, it's just It’s a condiment, used for cooking. I’ll teach the cook how to cook it later, and you’ll know after you try it.”

Mrs. Buckwheat didn’t quite believe that it was edible, but the girl said so. , she couldn’t question it, so she took the money and went to the miscellaneous shop the next day.

Not long after Mrs. Buckwheat went out, the girls also put on new spring clothes and went out.

On the day when the dragon raises its head in February, it is customary to go to the suburbs to welcome the rich, so Mrs. Zhao finally "granted" everyone to go out for fun.

As soon as they arrived at the archway, the carriage stopped, and Zhao Wangshu heard Zhao He say: "Cousin, you are here."

"Sorry, I'm late." The not-so-familiar voice replied.

"It's not too late, we just went out."

The two exchanged a few words, and the carriage continued to move forward.

The scenery is beautiful in mid-spring, and the vegetation is getting lusher.

This time is also particularly suitable for digging wild vegetables, so the girls’ outfits are very simple and neat.

The girls got into the carriage with their maids. The young men rode horses and were followed by a group of servants. They drove leisurely towards Wanshou Mountain outside the city. On the way, they also met several convoys. They are girls and young men going for an outing in the countryside.

When they got off the bus and got off the horse, Zhao Wangshu discovered that there was an extra pair of master and servant, it was Mrs. Zhao's natal grandnephew Yang Hao.

The air in early spring is particularly fresh, and even the breeze carries the fragrance of vegetation, which makes people happy both physically and mentally.

Outing people come in small groups, some carrying small and exquisite baskets, or holding small hoes with short handles, looking for wild vegetables all over the mountains.

"Do you want to rest in the pergola first, or dig wild vegetables on the hillside?" Zhao He asked.

Zhao Yuzhen replied: "It's not too hard to come here by car. Let's go to the hillside to dig wild vegetables."

"Okay, then you can go dig wild vegetables. Dig in this area and don't go too far." Zhao He gestured.

All the girls bowed their heads and responded: "I know."

Zhao He gave a few more instructions to his servants, and then left with his three younger brothers and Yang Hao to find He was impatient to accompany these little girls when his companions were playing.

"Cousin, I'd better stay here. They are all girls. It would be bad if someone collides with them." Yang Hao said.

"No need, there are so many people guarding you, who dares to stand under the emperor's feet? Let's go, after fifteen, we will go to the academy to study. I will introduce you to a few classmates." Zhao He put his arm around his shoulders and forcibly took him away.

"Cousin." Yang Hao had something to say that he didn't want to say clearly. He turned to look at Zhao Wangshu who had gone to the hillside with his sisters, and sighed. What should he do to strike up a conversation with the beautiful woman?

Climbing up the hillside, Zhao Jiahua said excitedly: "There are a lot of Chinese toons here. Sister Shu, Sister Qing, pick more. Chinese toon scrambled eggs are delicious."

"The scrambled eggs with wild locust heads are also delicious." Zhao Wangshu dug up a clump of wild locust heads and put them in the basket.

“Shepherd’s purse dumplings are the best.” Zhao Yuying swallowed her saliva, but there was no shepherd’s purse in sight.

A group of people were digging wild vegetables on the hillside, talking and laughing, when a shout suddenly came: "Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao."

Except for the Fang sisters, everyone present was Miss Zhao. Everyone looked up and saw that the person who called them was Yao Shanzhi.

With her are her cousins ​​Yao Shuiqin, Yao Muhe, Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun.

"I have met the county magistrate, and I have met all the girls. I wonder what the county magistrate has come to see us for?" Zhao Yuzhen asked with a salute.

"No need to be polite, I have nothing to do here. I just saw Yue'er here and came over to say hello." Yao Shanzhi smiled at Zhao Wangshu.

Yao Shuiqin and Yao Muhe also smiled at Zhao Wangshu, but Lin Qianyi still looked so arrogant and dust-free, and Zhu Siyun still looked at Zhao Wangshu with scrutiny.

Zhao Wangshu returned the polite smile of the Yao sisters, ignored Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun, and asked Yaoshan Gardenia, "Gardenia, there are a lot of wild vegetables here, do you want to dig wild vegetables here?"

"Okay." Yao Shanzhi agreed readily,

Zhu Siyun frowned, Lin Qianyi said with a cold face: "Gardenia, cousin, they can't find it We will be anxious."

"Just send someone back and tell my brother." Yao Shanzhi went over to help Zhao Wangshu dig up wild weeds.

Although Yao Shanzhi is not the eldest among the three, she is the only one with class and everyone respects her. If she wants to stay, no matter how unwilling Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun are, they can only Can stay.

After digging wild vegetables for a while, Lin Qianyi, Zhu Siyun and Zhao Shuangzhi all said: "I'm so tired, I won't dig anymore, I want to take a rest."

2 On the second day of the lunar month, the rich go out to the suburbs and return to the city in the evening. However, the girls from these wealthy families will not eat wild vegetables dug up to satisfy their hunger at noon like the poor families.

"I can't do it anymore, I have to take a rest." Zhao Shuqing gasped.

"You should rest quickly, don't get tired and sick." Zhao Jiahua supported her and said.

Zhao Yuzhen’s family is not well-off. Even if they don’t go to the fields to do farm work, they still do housework at home and dig some wild vegetables. They don’t feel tired

Zhao Wangshu is pampered at home. , she doesn’t have to do farm work or housework, but she secretly exercises every day. Although her physical fitness is not as good as that of Yao Shanzhi, who practices martial arts, it is not bad.
