After the groom escaped from marriage, she married Jiangmen

Chapter 55
Mrs. Cheng didn't want to go into details about the disgrace of her two daughters, so she stopped talking about it and told Zheng and Lu Hanzhi to go back and rest.

After the banquet was over, we stayed in Jingyuan for a while. When Lu Hanzhi returned to Chengyuan, it was already dusk. When he entered the door, a little maid said: "Grandma, the son is looking at the flowers raised by grandma in the yard!"

Hearing this, Lu Hanzhi turned around before entering the house, and went to the yard, and he saw Cheng Junze squatting in front of the flowerpot, intently looking at the bright red tomatoes in the flowerpot.Sensing someone approaching, Cheng Junze stood up, and said solemnly: "The flowers raised by the lady are really interesting, they look like persimmons..."

Lu Hanzhi smiled lightly. After getting along with him for a while, Lu Hanzhi also figured out some of Cheng Junze's little habits. For example, Cheng Shizi, who is upright, will sullenly show a serious look when encountering things he doesn't understand.

Cheng Junze glanced at Lu Hanzhi's expression from the corner of his eye, saw her laughing, and felt a little annoyed in his heart, thinking that he should read more books on weekdays, so as not to make his wife make fun of her.Just listen to Lu Hanzhi: "This is a kind of fruit that came from overseas. I heard that the sailors called it foreign persimmon." Well, it’s called yam, and the fruit grows in the soil.”

As a general who leads the army, Cheng Junze has learned to be calm since he was young, but Cheng Junze, the eldest son of Cheng, is actually not as good as the weak crown, and he has a bit of curiosity of a young man by nature.Hearing what Lu Hanzhi said, Cheng Junze stared at the flowerpot curiously, and said, "Grows in the soil? Like a taro?"

The capital does not produce taro, but there will be some from the south. As fresh goods from other places, the family will buy some every year to give the master a taste. When Cheng Junze heard the name of potato from Lu Hanzhi, he thought of the taro at the banquet. .

"Yes, if you are curious, you can dig a tree and have a look." The potato was planted in spring, and it is almost ready to be dug, but Lu Hanzhi has not had time to dig it due to his busy work recently.

Cheng Junze was already curious, and when he heard what Lu Hanzhi said, he squatted down honestly and prepared to dig without tools.Holding the flower pot and looking up and down, Cheng Junze stretched out his hand and pulled out the potato seedlings forcefully. Lu Hanzhi deliberately found loose soil, and four or five fist-sized potatoes came out of the potato seedlings.Cheng Junze grabbed two potatoes from behind, looked left and right, and said: "Taros can be eaten, but this potato is also eaten?"

"Yeah!" Lu Hanzhi dug out the remaining potatoes in the flower pot, put a small pile beside it, used good soil and fertilizer, and carefully raised them. The potatoes grew well, and this pot will grow. Seven or eight fist-sized potatoes are enough for a meal.Lu Hanzhi asked Lianzi to put away the potatoes and make them for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Although Cheng Junze was curious, he had only eaten dinner not long ago, and he didn't think about tasting it right now. His eyes fell on the persimmons, and he said, "Can you pick that one?"

"You can pick it when it's too red." Lu Hanzhi got up to wash his hands, and when Cheng Junze asked her, he replied casually, "But that foreign persimmon can't be kept. If you pick it today, you can only eat it tomorrow."

Seeing these two kinds of fruits for the first time, Cheng Junze was curious, and he had no objection to adding these two kinds of fruits to tomorrow's menu, so he agreed directly, saying: "Okay, I will eat them tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, when Cheng Junze woke up, Lu Hanzhi was no longer around, remembering that Lu Hanzhi said that he would eat yams and persimmons today, Cheng Junze washed up and went to the small kitchen, and he saw Lu Hanzhi pointing the cook.

Although cooking is also one of women's homework at this time, they only need to know it, not to be proficient, especially the female relatives of wealthy families, no one spends all day in the kitchen.Lu Han's cooking skills can only be considered average, but the cook has never seen potatoes, so he can only be taught by Lu Hanzhi.

The yams and persimmons dug last night, Lu Hanzhi also picked a few green peppers, and brought them all to the small kitchen, together with the vegetables sent, they can make a few side dishes.The breakfast was mostly porridge and pasta. Lu Hanzhi instructed the cook to make hot and sour potato shreds, fried tomato and eggs, and a lot of yams, which were steamed and crushed to make yam cakes. When Cheng Junze came over, Lu Hanzhi had just come from A potato pancake came out on the plate.

Cheng Junze came over, took a bite of the chopsticks in Lu Hanzhi's hand, and commented: "This is made of yam, and it tastes good!"

Lu Hanzhi gave Cheng Junze a sideways glance, and simply handed him the chopsticks in his hand, and turned to tell the little maid in the kitchen, "That's all, it's time to serve."

Cheng Junze didn't care about Lu Hanzhi's disgust. He ate with chopsticks and said, "The yams are so good, why haven't I seen them before?"

"It's from overseas," Lu Hanzhi recalled with emotion, "At that time when we went back to Beijing with our father, we met people hawking in the market, but the Central Plains had never seen such things. Many people gathered around to watch the fun, and there were only two People heard that it was a rare item from overseas, so they bought two pots of peppers and went back. My second brother was curious at the time, so he asked the merchant, who had never seen it before, why he wanted to sell it on the street. I dare not buy it!"

"What did he say?" The people in the kitchen packed up and served the dishes, Cheng Junze went out with Lu Hanzhi, and listened to Lu Hanzhi's story by the way.

"The businessman said that when they went out to sea, they encountered a storm once, deviated from the course, and finally arrived at a small island. The ship broke down, and most of the things on board were lost. They didn't recognize the scenery on the island. I almost starved to death there. In the end, the residents on the island were kind-hearted, helped them repair the boat, and gave them some food, well, that’s all.” Lu Hanzhi briefly said the matter, “The businessman said, They relied on these few things to support and returned to Dachu, thinking that this is a good thing, and they should be promoted to let everyone know, but unfortunately no one has seen it, and no one is willing to give it away for free.”

"So, the lady bought all these?" Now that the things are in Lu Han's hands, it is obvious that Lu Hanzhi bought them.

"I think it's pretty good!" Lu Hanzhi nodded with a smile, "He wants to spread the stuff to Dachu, so it's not expensive. I'm usually not busy, so it doesn't take much effort to plant some in the yard. If it's really good, They planted them on Zhuangzi. I planted them last year and harvested a lot of seeds. This year, I had someone plant them on Zhuangzi. Here, I planted a few trees and watched them myself.”

"The lady is still growing on Zhuangzi!" Cheng Junze knew that Lu Hanzhi had Zhuangzi in his hand, and she kept Lu Hanzhi's dowry herself, but the list would be sent to the Cheng family. The Cheng family did not covet the daughter-in-law's dowry. After reading it, he handed it back to Lu Hanzhi, but Cheng Junze also knew that the Lu family was noble, and Lu Hanzhi was the jewel in the palm of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law. This dowry would be envied by many girls from noble families.
