Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 34

On the hillside two miles away from the bamboo courtyard, there was a sturdy figure busy there. It was already three poles high in the sun, and sweat dripped from his bronzed skin, shining brightly under the sunlight, like a roast duck shop. The hanging roast duck is shiny and very attractive!
Lin Xiaoyue swallowed her saliva, seeing how skillful Brother Liang was in the field, he was a rough man who had been farming all the year round, but a rough man would not have a subordinate like Cheng Feng who paid 500 taels of silver for every move, so farming would be so effective money?

Also, there are farmlands from the hillside all the way to the lake, and the family is supposed to be full of food after the autumn harvest, so why is there nothing in the bamboo yard?Are they all sold?

How many secrets did Brother Liang hide?
Why!Curiosity killed the cat, so stop gossip!

Lin Xiaoyue tapped her head and walked over with a smile, "Brother Liang! The dishes are ready, and the rice is still steaming in the pot. You can eat in a while!"

Liang Jingyao straightened up, wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "I know, you can go back and rest. I'll go back after I've turned the land here!"

Lin Xiaoyue became interested when she heard Liang Jingyao digging the ground. Standing on the ridge of the field, she asked curiously, "Brother Liang, it will be winter next month. What are you going to plant?"

Liang Jingyao said with a smile: "I plan to plant some winter wheat, which is hardy and can be eaten in April or May next year."

Lin Xiaoyue was surprised. Why did they use such a large piece of land to grow wheat?You can grow other vegetables and fruits!
Is Brother Liang a straight man?You can plant whatever you want to eat, so you are not afraid of getting tired of it?

She said with some helplessness and amused: "Brother Liang, I think you can grow some vegetables, and you will have less to eat after the snow falls in winter. Why don't you plant some now, and then pickle them into pickles and keep them for a long time? When you eat, take it out and eat at any time."

Liang Jingyao said with a smile while waving the hoe in his hand: "Don't worry, I've already prepared vegetables for the winter in the cellar, but it's the first time I've heard of your pickled vegetables. Next time, you can teach me how to do it?"

Can't pickle?In the country that Lin Xiaoyue traveled through, pickles can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, and they are still very popular after more than 3000 years!
People here can't?

Just relying on the storage of vegetables in the cellar, isn't it all rotten in the end?

The pickled vegetables are delicious, pickled vegetables, spicy cabbage, dried radish, prunes... It's so refreshing to eat!

If she works well, she will definitely make a lot of money!
Then first borrow the ingredients from Brother Liang to make a vat, and then sell it in the surrounding towns. She believes that anyone who has eaten the first bite will definitely want to have another bite!
Lin Xiaoyue almost loves the idea of ​​herself to death, she never imagined that the first step of her freedom in life is to make a vat of delicious pickles!

"Yes, you can watch from the side when I make it. The steps are very simple, but whether it tastes good or not depends on your own taste."

Liang Jingyao was amused by Lin Xiaoyue's words, why is this pickle a bit mysterious?

"Okay! I'll have to call you Master Lin from now on!"

Lin Xiaoyue snickered, with such a strong apprentice, she could walk sideways wherever she went!

"Haha, then I won't be polite to you!"

Different from the pleasant atmosphere in the field, the kitchen in the bamboo courtyard was in a mess. Either Cheng Feng could not control the heat well enough to fry the eggs, or the fire was not hot enough. When he turned the eggs over, the yolks flowed out. !
He really wanted to hate Lin Xiaoyue to death. Before this woman appeared, he and his master could have a meal by cooking casually. This woman scrambled an egg and it still turned yellow. Why didn't she eat dry or raw eggs? what!

He suspected that Lin Xiaoyue was here to restrain him. There is no such thing as a yolk egg in this world!
If he didn't want to win the bet, he would have thrown an egg at Lin Xiaoyue's head long ago!

"Fuck the yolks!"

As the big iron spoon fell on the porcelain plate, a piece of burnt scrambled egg flew out of the porcelain plate, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed on the face of Liang Jingyao who had just stepped into the door.

Lin Xiaoyue was already rolling back and forth with laughter in her heart. She resisted and stepped forward to remove the scrambled egg from Liang Jingyao's face, and asked with concern: "Brother Liang, are you okay?"

What?Master is back so soon?

Cheng Feng turned around stiffly and cast, but saw that Liang Jingyao's face was oily, and there was still a little bit of scrambled egg residue!
"Yes, I'm sorry, master! I didn't mean to!"

Liang Jingyao had a sullen expression on his face, and asked displeasedly, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Feng seized the opportunity to slander Lin Xiaoyue to death, "Master, this woman deliberately made things difficult for me! She insisted on letting me fry that runny egg, how could I do such a thing? I think she clearly wants to poison you! "

"It's inexplicable, the bull's head is wrong!" Lin Xiaoyue stared at Cheng Feng speechlessly, walked directly to the stove, put a piece of bacon into her mouth, and drank a spoonful of fish soup.
"Brother Liang, look, I made these two dishes. If I wanted to poison you, why did I leave the kitchen to Cheng Feng to scramble eggs? Besides, it is true that there are runny eggs, but you have to control them well." Huohou, if Cheng Feng didn't want to show me the fire, I wouldn't get angry and let him scramble eggs!"

Liang Jingyao felt that what Lin Xiaoyue said was more reasonable than Cheng Feng's. When Lin Xiaoyue came to him at first, he felt that something was wrong.
"Cheng Feng, I think you are injured, let's forget it this time! If there is another time, don't follow me!"

When Cheng Feng heard that his master wanted to drive him away, he hated Lin Xiaoyue even more!

"No! If my master hadn't taken me in and taught me martial arts when I was a child, I might have starved to death outside! In this life, I will only follow my master and never go anywhere!"

Liang Jingyao frowned and shouted: "Then why don't you hurry up and show Master Lin the fire, do you want me to be hungry all the time?"

Cheng Feng thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he asked again, "Master Lin? Her?"

Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "That's right! Master Lin is going to teach me how to make pickled vegetables. This stuff can be kept for a long time, which is good for us to survive the winter! So, hurry up before we eat. Start pickling!"

Cheng Feng felt that he had traveled all over the world for so many years and had never heard of this kind of food. Lin Xiaoyue must be fooling the master again!
"Master, don't listen to what she says! This woman is untrustworthy. I have been fooled by her many times!"

Lin Xiaoyue sneered and said, "That's because you're stupid! I say you can do what you can, and if you don't believe me, just show me. Anyway, you're going to lose the bet just now!"

Cheng Feng sat down next to the bellows, "Don't get too complacent, I will definitely convince you to lose, and then drive you out!"
