The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 651 Auspicious Words (One More)
Emperor Yongtai was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at his clothes, it really made sense, "Ordinary ones can't be more ordinary. This is very good, very good."

"Let's go! Let's go into the village and have a look." Emperor Yongtai walked towards the village along the dirt road, and suddenly asked angrily, "Do you know it's so delicious?"

"Cicada monkey, roasted or fried is really delicious." Shen Zhouheng said with a smile when he heard the words.

"I hear what you mean, I've eaten it." Emperor Yongtai asked, staring at him with wide eyes.

"I've eaten it! It tastes good." Shen Zhou slammed his mouth and said, "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

"Can this be eaten? Will it hurt my stomach?" Emperor Yongtai said worriedly.

"The shell of the cicada monkey in this Chinese medicine is still a Chinese medicine!" Shen Zhou said with a horizontal smile.

"Chinese medicine?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him in surprise and said.

"Cicada husk is also called cicada slough. It is a sweet, salty, and cold Chinese herbal medicine. It can enter the lung meridian and liver meridian. Its main functions are to dispel wind and cold, and clear rash and improve eyesight." Shen Zhouheng A brief and rough introduction.

"I've never seen it before." Emperor Yongtai shook his head slightly and said, "The bitter soup and medicine are unpalatable!"

Only then did Shen Zhouheng remember that the emperor had already boiled the medicine for drinking, and he had never seen what kind of medicine it was.

"Go back and let them catch it and do it for a while." Emperor Yongtai said with some expectation.

The queen mother, who was still sitting in the carriage, was relieved when she heard the words, this kid finally stopped saying that wind is rain.

During the conversation, Shen Zhou walked them to the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the village. The old lady and peasant women gathered together to do household chores and do needlework.

Seeing Shen Zhouheng and the others coming in, they stopped what they were doing and looked over.

"Who is this for? Do you know anyone?"

"Looking at the face is very raw."

"Who are you looking for?" the elderly lady asked.

"Ma'am, we passed by the city and wanted to ask for a bowl of water." Shen Zhouheng stepped forward and saluted.

"Then come home with me!" The old lady said enthusiastically, "Now all the men in the village have gone to the ground, and we are the only ones left."

"I saw a lot of people in the field." Shen Zhou stepped forward and approached.

"It's not that the wheat will be harvested in twenty days, it's also the time when the birds and small animals are at their most rampant." The old lady said as she walked, "There are people guarding the fields day and night to protect the wheat."

"I don't think it's okay if there are scarecrows standing in the field?" Emperor Yongtai pointed to the scarecrow in the distance.

"That bird is smart too! You won't be afraid to go away." The old lady smiled when she heard this, "It still needs to be chased away."

Emperor Yongtai saw that the houses in the village were very short, especially the surrounding walls. He was a head above them, so he could see clearly in the yard.

Most of the houses are earthen houses, facing south, and the yards are not small, all of which grow vegetables.

Occasionally, there was a rooster crowing, which made Shen Zhouheng smile knowingly, "Auntie, does every household feed chickens?"

"Hi!" said the aunt crisply, "Our family has fed a dozen of them!"

"Are these enough eggs enough for you to eat?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him with innocent eyes and said.

The old lady was taken aback when she heard the words, then smiled and shook her head and said, "These eggs are for money, how dare you eat them!"

"All in exchange for money?" Emperor Yongtai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him and said.

"Basically, it's all for money. This chicken is the treasure of the family." The old lady opened the door of her house with a smile and said, "Come in! Sit in the yard."

Emperor Yongtai looked at the green brick house and said, "This is Lizheng's house!"

"How did you know?" The old lady stopped and turned to look at him.

"When I entered the village, I met a little brother named Tiedaner." Emperor Yongtai said with a smile.

"That's my little grandson." The old lady looked at them with a wrinkled smile and said, "It's very naughty!" Pointing to the small wooden stool in the courtyard, "Sit, sit." She smiled and said, "Is it okay to open Liang Bai? ?"

"Yes, yes." Shen Zhouheng nodded hurriedly.

Fang Beichen walked in with the queen mother, and Shen Zhouheng hurriedly pulled his sleeve to wipe the small wooden stool.

"Ma'am, do you drink boiled water here too?" Shen Zhouheng looked at the old lady who had entered the kitchen and asked.

"That's right! I used to drink it directly, but later the government ordered boiled water to drink so that I wouldn't get sick, so it was all boiled." The old lady took out a bowl from the cupboard and said.

"No, no, I have a bamboo tube here, you can just pour water here." Shen Zhouheng unloaded the pannier on his back, and took out the bamboo tube from it.

"Okay, okay!" The old lady smiled and nodded, holding a water ladle and filling four bamboo tubes.

Wen Yan in the yard exchanged glances with each other, this kid is quite well prepared.

Shen Zhouheng came out carrying four bamboo tubes, distributed them to them and said softly and considerately, "Just take it."

When the queen mother heard this, her black eyes flickered and she took the bamboo tube in her hand.

The old lady came out of the kitchen, Shen Zhou stood up and gave way to a small wooden stool, "Sit!"

"You sit, you sit." The old lady smiled and said, "I have been sitting at the entrance of the village!"

"You better sit! I've been riding in a carriage? Activities, activities." Shen Zhouheng simply put the small wooden stool behind her and said, stood looking around and said, "The tiles on this room are new, right? !" This he has experience.

"That's right! My little brother has really good eyesight. The rain leaked last year and he managed to survive it. This year, we replaced it all before there was too much rain." The old lady said with a smile.

"That's a lot of money! Your yard is huge." Shen Zhou said with a horizontal smile.

"My family knows how to make blue tiles, so it didn't cost much." The old lady looked at him with a wrinkled smile and said.

"Yeah! A craftsman, you can't get hungry even if you have a craft." Shen Zhou looked at her sincerely and praised, "This tile is not very durable, and it has to be replaced from time to time."

"Barely make ends meet." The old lady said humbly, with a smile on her brows and eyes, her mouth couldn't close her mouth in joy.

"I think the wheat is growing well this year, and it's a bumper harvest year." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with a silly smile and said.

"It's been okay for the past two years! Our family is separated, we don't have to pay taxes, and we can eat white flour steamed buns." The old lady looked at him with happy eyebrows and crescents and said, sincerely grateful, "Thank you, the emperor."

"Can't you eat it before?" Emperor Yongtai asked in surprise, this is the foot of the emperor.

"I used to pay taxes, and I ate steamed buns made of two-and-a-half noodles and three-heavy noodles. When life was hard, I didn't eat less wild vegetable dumplings. It's hard to eat pure white flour steamed buns." The old lady said, looking at them with gloomy eyes.

"Auntie is very lucky, and the days will get better and better in the future." Shen Zhouheng said quickly upon seeing this.

"I borrowed my brother's good words." The old lady looked at him gently and said.

"Does the family raise pigs?" Shen Zhouheng asked with his amber pupils staring at her.
