Chapter 52
In Rose Ridge Huangzhuang, male creatures are cut off, but Yue Wangshu still lives much more comfortably than in the palace.

Free air, of course, is sweeter.

She not only enjoys the salary of a worldly wife, but also doesn't have to serve the emperor. This is clearly her ideal fairy life of "free wages and no work".

In the morning, I wear a loose bun, don't need to be full of gold and jade, simply wear a pine-colored jacket and skirt, and hold a big orange to bask in the sun under the persimmon tree outside the main room.

Looking at the trees full of fruits, Yue Wangshu said, "Tell the two eunuchs with quick hands and feet to pick all the persimmons."

The pure natural and pollution-free persimmons are bright red, even more ostentatious than the oranges on the back of the big orange.

The little eunuch immediately found a ladder, carried a huge basket on his back, and after a short while climbed up, a basket full of round persimmons poured out, and then climbed up again to pick them up again. .

When the red sun rose to the sky, the persimmons were barely picked. According to the visual inspection of two or three hundred catties, a hill of shining golden oranges was piled up!

Daju jumped on it joyfully, grabbed a persimmon and rolled it around like a ball.Yue Wangshu was worried about how to eat these persimmons. Although they were already ripe, the persimmons in this era were all astringent, and they had to be dehydrated before they could be eaten.

It is not difficult to remove the astringency, just scald it with warm water, then add strong wine, seal it in a warm place for a period of time, and the astringency can be completely removed.

But compared to this way of eating, Yue Wangshu prefers to eat persimmons.

So I called a few maids and asked them to wash and dry the persimmons while the weather was good, then peel the skins, tie them into strings with strings, and hang them on the porch to dry. In about half a month, you will be able to eat sweet persimmons.

"Master, don't move! This knife is very sharp. Let the servants do the rough work!" Seeing that she picked up the knife and persimmon, Xiaoju rushed up and snatched it away.

Yue Wangshu: ...I'm not so clumsy, am I?

The maid, Little Furong, took a thick satin cloak and draped it over her body, "It's windy, master, let's go back to the house."

Xiaoju was leading three or four maids to peel the persimmons. At this moment, there were more than a dozen strings of persimmons hanging in the corridor like small lanterns. They swayed gently in the wind, and the air was filled with the fragrance of persimmons. It was really gratifying.

Yue Wangshu suddenly felt, why does she feel like a waste snack who can only move her mouth but can't move her hands?

Little Furong coaxed Yue Wangshu back into the main room with half-pushing, and came in with tea and snacks, "It's very good, why does the master want to eat persimmons all of a sudden?"——This is not a precious thing.

Yue Wangshu took a sip of Qiju tea and said, "I just think that making persimmons seems quite interesting."

Suddenly, Yue Wangshu couldn't help but think of the small peeling knife, if he is clumsy, it may hurt his hands.

She immediately thought of the peeling artifact of later generations!With that thing, you don't have to worry about peeling your own skin!
Thinking of this, Yue Wangshu stopped drinking tea and walked quickly to the desk. Little Furong immediately stepped forward to grind ink knowingly, "Master, do you want to write or paint?"

Yue Wangshu said "Oh", she spread out a piece of rice paper and said, "It's called painting!"

In a short time, a simple peeling tool that does not hurt the hands is drawn, "Find a craftsman and make it as soon as possible!"

But goose, it was already three days later when the peeling artifact was made.

These nimble maids around her have already peeled more than 200 catties of persimmons!Not only the porch is full of hangings, but several shelves are set up in the courtyard to hang persimmons!

But Yue Wangshu was not discouraged. After peeling the persimmons, he could use them to peel other fruits!
This inconspicuous "artifact" at most lightened the burden on the cooks and maids of Rose Ridge Huangzhuang, and did not cause much disturbance.

Yue Wangshu didn't care about distributing the "artifacts". Her mind was more on the persimmons outside the house, and she went out to inspect them when she had nothing to do, and sometimes she would pinch them cheaply.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the persimmons are being dried day by day. The weather is beautiful, and almost every day is sunny.

Yue Wangshu didn't like to eat persimmons that were too dry and hard, so in less than half a month, she was almost done holding them, so she tasted a few of them, and felt that the persimmons were soft and sweet, so she asked someone to accept them. There were more than 200 catties of persimmons, and a total of more than 70 catties of persimmons were produced. Yue Wangshu couldn't finish it.

Of course, there was no need to sell it for money, besides eating some for himself and sharing some with the palace people around him, Yue Wangshu decided to send the rest back to the palace.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send her food and clothing every other day, most of which are ingredients.Taking Shuyuan as an example, pork alone weighs [-] catties a day—of course, she lives far away in Huangzhuang to avoid illness, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot deliver it every day. In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, the Ministry of Internal Affairs replaced the pork with Bacon, bacon, and ham are not included. As for the mutton and poultry in the order, they will be sent directly to live animals, and they will be eaten and slaughtered when the time comes.

In order to preserve these animals, Li Yue, the eunuch of the capital, had to set up sheep pens and chicken coops in the side courtyard, and arranged for people to feed them every day.

Therefore, inspecting his property has also become one of Yue Wangshu's pastimes.

In the afternoon of that day, after eating half a plate of persimmon cakes, Yue Wangshu went to the West Side Hospital with big oranges in his arms.

The sheep pens and chicken coops are all cleaned up, and there is almost no peculiar smell.

There is only one sheep in the sheep pen, but there are already more than a dozen chickens, ducks and geese in the chicken coop, which looks quite lively.After all, her monthly ration of mutton is ninety catties, but there are as many as thirty poultry per month.

"There are two more black-bone chickens." Yue Wangshu noticed that there were two white fluffy, small chickens in the chicken coop, and he could tell at a glance that they were black-bone chickens.Although the black-bone chicken is dark in flesh and blood, it has fine, fluffy white hair and looks quite cute.

Yue Wangshu asked the eunuch next to him: "How many eggs did you collect today?"

"Back to the master, twelve eggs, six eggs, four duck eggs, one goose egg, and one black egg!" the little eunuch Sasao said happily.

It seems that there is no need to buy eggs in the future, Yue Wang Shu shuns the hair of Daju in his arms, Daju also loves eggs.

Fluttering, flying snow fell from the sky.

Yue Wangshu couldn't help hugging the big orange in his arms, winter is here...

Back in the main courtyard, Little Furong was boiling a pot of black tea on a charcoal basin. The tea was boiling and steaming, and the whole room was filled with a strong tea fragrance.

Seeing her master coming back, Little Fu Rong quickly poured a cup of hot black tea and served it, and then she saw the snow particles on her master's shoulder.

"Is it snowing outside?"

Yue Wangshu blew the hot air, and the mist was lingering, and she felt a little dazed before her eyes. She said with emotion, "Yes, it's the first snow this year."

It was also the first snow after she came to this world.
