I went back to ancient times to do business with my game account

Chapter 236 Visiting the Vegetable Field

After leaving Jianchunmen, the horse galloped for about 10 minutes, Qiao Yun shouted: "Stop!"

"Hoo—" Yun Xuemei reined in the reins, and looked down at the map in Qiao Yun's hand: "Are you there?"

Qiao Yun nodded: "It's near here. You can see the fence surrounding it at the fork ahead, and the whole Zhuangzi belongs to Ding Shi Ji."

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a long row of sturdy bamboo fences in the southeast of the intersection, nearly as high as a person, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Yun Xuemei rode on the horse for a long time before she saw the gate of the village. She raised her hand and put down the veil on the curtain fence from the edge of the bamboo hat, covering her face tightly, and then brought Qiao Yun to the farm the door.

Behind the bamboo leaf wrapped with lingxiaohua is a small square, surrounded by several firewood houses, several rural women are sitting together wrapped in headscarves and sleeves, holding green vegetables in their hands, choosing wash.On the side, three or four children with skyrockets were squatting on the edge of the square intently, looking at something, probably watching ants fighting.

Seeing a stranger visiting, a tall and thick woman wiped her hands on her apron and walked over.

"Who are you looking for?"

Qiao Yun didn't dismount in a hurry, but said, "Ding Shi Ji should have sent someone to deliver a letter in the morning, right?"

The peasant woman's tanned face immediately showed an eager smile: "You are the new boss that Peng Laoer said, right?"

Qiao Yun nodded, noncommittal.

The peasant woman made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in quickly! We are ready." Then, she yelled inside: "Liu Niang! The boss is here!"

Shout out, seeing Yun Xuemei getting off the horse with Qiao Yun in her arms, she stepped forward, took the rein, and said with a warm smile, "I tied the horse to the stable for you, this lady is my daughter. After receiving the letter from Peng Lao Er, I packed it up and asked her to take you around the village."

"Thank you." Yun Xuemei thanked her lightly, and handed the horsewhip to the peasant woman.

Soon, a little lady about Wang Jinzhi's age came out of one of the houses behind the square.

Jiu Niang is obviously an adult too, her hair is tied behind her head with only a wooden hairpin, very capable.She was dressed in light pink Gebu clothes, the upper jacket and lower trousers were very brown, but after washing, the traces of pink had faded.For the sake of decency, she tied a water-blue smock around her waist, also made of Gebu, and it only reached her calves, revealing half of her loose trousers, exuding a rustic atmosphere.

"Master, my wife." Jiu Niang came to Qiao Yun and bowed rather cautiously.

Seeing that her little face was flushed with nervousness, Qiao Yun couldn't help laughing: "Don't be afraid, I'm younger than you."

Jiu Niang raised her head a little uneasy, quickly glanced at Yun Xuemei behind Qiao Yun, and quickly lowered her head.

That lady has such a tall figure!The glowing embroidered robe made her look so heroic.

But unfortunately, she was wearing a curtain, so that people couldn't see her face clearly, and her aura of not being allowed in by strangers was even heavier!
Niang Niang trembled a little.

"My aunt used to be from the rivers and lakes, but you don't have to be afraid at all." Qiao Yun took Jiu Niang's hand.

As soon as she held it up, Qiao Yun was a little startled.

This is the first time she holds such a hand... Such a rough palm, thick calluses on the fingertips...

Jiu Niang was even more flattered, it was also the first time for her to be held up by someone so richly dressed, she quickly withdrew her hand, and smiled shyly: "Let's go shopping, boss, where do you want to see first?" ?”

"Look where it's near, mainly the vegetable fields." Qiao Yun knew that this kind of girl who hardly saw strangers all year round was shy, so she didn't force her.

"Okay, okay..." Jiu Niang nodded repeatedly, and led the two of them to the field behind.

Yun Xuemei felt a little uncomfortable.

Even a little wronged.

Why did she scare the little lady again?
But she has been in seclusion for many years... No, she has been in seclusion for four months, is the evil spirit on her body still so obvious?
Why didn't Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Cui behave like this before?The little girl of the Meng family and Yun'er never showed any fear of her.

Yun Xuemei was puzzled, and only thought of a reason to comfort herself.

Kidney Dou must have dressed him up so heroically today, that's right, that's it.

Next time she'll wear a skirt!
In order to restore her image in the heart of the strange little girl, she casually pointed to a lush green vegetable field and asked, "What is growing there? The leaves are still red, so pretty."

Qiao Yun gave Yun Xuemei a strange look.

Wasn't this dish taken out of the game and served to her in Quwo?
"Mother, you are so confused when you are riding a horse. I understand that you don't recognize other vegetables. How can you not recognize amaranth?"

Is there anything else in this kind of vegetable with red background and green edge on a leaf?

No matter what Xue Mei Niang said, she once ran two thousand miles alone. If she didn't know any dishes, how did she survive this journey?What does she eat in the wild?
Yun Xuemei was silent for a moment.

She turned her finger in a direction: "You read it wrong, I clearly pointed to that piece of land, and it's so fast that it's on the shelf."

Qiao Yun: "..."

Chiu Niang: "Pfft."

Qiao Yun closed her mouth wisely.

The smile on Jiu Niang's face finally got a little natural, and she said: "That's a kind of courgette. It's already tender right now."

As she spoke, she carried her smock across the ridge and came to the courgette field, picking and picking, and finally found a freshly ripened one.She cut off the connected courgette vines, and picked off the courgette that was just palm-length, with a hint of grassy yellow in the tender green.

"Here, Master, let's try it, it's fresh!"

She found a nearby well and washed the courgettes.Cracked it hard and broke it into two pieces, and handed it to Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei.

cucumber?

Isn't this cucumber!
Farm cucumbers!

Qiao Yun was also polite, and took the courgette happily, and took a bite.

The taste of the current courgettes is almost the same as the cucumbers of the later generations. They are both crisp and moist, with a trace of the unique sweetness of the vegetables themselves. Other than that, there is no other taste.

That is, the cucumbers in the Tang Dynasty were definitely not like the cucumbers that were carefully cultivated in later generations.

But this is not the case for the vegetables in the game. Although the cucumbers in the game are also called courgettes, the fruits are the same as those produced in modern greenhouses.

"It's delicious!" Jiu Niang's eyes were shining, and she looked at the two expectantly.

Qiao Yun nodded: "It's delicious, as expected, this kind of melon and fruit is still fresh from the field!"

A simple and honest smile appeared on Jiu Niang's face. She scratched the back of her head and said, "It's still early. You wait until mid-April, when a lot of vegetables in the fields are cooked. That's when there will be more delicious food." Woolen cloth."

Qiao Yun held the cucumber, gnawed it in two or three bites, and swallowed the last bite before saying, "You also know that Ding Shi Ji will hold a big banquet for rich families in half a month, and what you eat at this time is fresh rice. Words. I have to prepare it in ten days at the latest, and you see, what kind of dishes can we have on the Zhuangzi by then?"

Immediately, Jiu Niang became serious.

She counted on her fingers: "When the time comes... courgettes, spinach, coriander, Chinese cabbage, celery, chrysanthemum... oh, and the amaranth just mentioned, they are almost ready to harvest."

"Is there no radish? Carrots, white radishes, etc." Qiao Yun's eyes widened.

Jiu Niang shook her head: "These two kinds of radishes mature in winter, summer, and autumn. The radishes stored in the cellar before winter are almost eaten, and they can't support the supply for the big banquet right now."

Oops...that's true.

Without radishes, wouldn’t the vegetarian table be missing a lot of dishes?After all, radishes are indispensable in many exquisite vegetarian dishes!

"How about this, how many radishes are there now?"

Jiu Niang frowned and recalled for a while, and finally shook her head: "I'm not sure, there will be many radishes in the vegetable cellar in winter. Although it has been consumed for so long, in spring, because of the spring bamboo shoots, we can eat them. So the speed is much slower than in winter. No matter what, there are still three or five baskets left. But this is not enough!"

Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"enough."

"Ah?" Jiu Niang was dumbfounded, "What can such a few radishes do?"

Qiao Yun chuckled, showing a confident expression: "Just leave me a basket, and I'll use it for hanging, soup, and base!"
