Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 107 Wild Vegetables
The Anhe Hall is very lively, and the laughter of Mrs. Zheng can be heard far away. Mrs. Zheng and a middle-aged lady wearing a blue embroidered jacket are all smiling, and they sit with Mrs. Zheng on the left and right. Yingying pulled the round-faced girl to ask for warmth, Zheng Lanti and Fang Baochan were concentrating on the intimate conversation, Fang Zheng was busy, and when she saw Yiqing coming in, she just paused and walked away quickly, Yiqing blinked, feeling herself It seems to be in the wrong place.

Going forward to greet the elders, Mrs. Zheng said happily: "Qing'er is back, good to be back!"

Mrs. Zheng beckoned, "Come here."

Yiqing walked up to Old Madam Zheng, and instead of sitting down, she leaned on her lightly, put her hand on her shoulder and began to rub her.

The old lady was very satisfied, she smiled, and first asked her how she was doing at her mother's house?How are your relatives?Are you happy to see the young couple?Yiqing answered them one by one with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "I brought you some cold salad made of fresh wild vegetables in spring. I will bring you and your wife to taste later! I also brought back a lot of pastries. Do you want to eat?" For guests? Are they used to Jiangnan food?"

Hearing Yiqing's childish words, Mrs. Zheng laughed happily: "This child! Who can't get used to the food? Ask them to bring it up, so that everyone can try the pastries from Jiangnan!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zheng pointed to the woman in the blue shirt on the right hand: "I'll show you how to recognize her. This is a relative of my natal family, my cousin and daughter-in-law, Wan Shi, you call her Aunt Liu Biao."

Holding Yiqing's hand again, she smiled at Wan Shi and said, "This is my new granddaughter-in-law!"

Yiqing got off the pedals, and gave Wan a deep blessing: "It turns out that it is Liu Biao's aunt, and Qing'er pays a visit to Biao Aunt!"

Wan Shi hurriedly got up to help her, looked at her carefully, then smiled at the old lady: "I can't blame my aunt for being so precious, she is actually a cutie in a thousand! Blessed, delicate and sweet, tsk tsk! I have been here for many years I have never seen such a nice person!"

Mrs. Zheng was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she waved her hands and said, "Stop praising her! If you praise her again, she will have her tail up in front of me tomorrow!"

Several people were laughing, while Zheng Lanti and Fang Baochan sat below with no expression on their faces, watching coldly.

The round-faced girl came up and yelled at Mrs. Zheng, "Grandmother!"

Mrs. Zheng said "Oh", pointed at the girl and said to Yiqing: "You don't know this one, do you? This is my natal nephew's daughter, named Yuejiao. She is a lucky person. Her mother died when she was born. She came to live in our mansion at the age of seven or eight, last year before you and Yan'er got married, she went home on business, and she just came back today!"

Just as Yiqing was about to speak, Feng Yuejiao pouted and said, "It's not you, my aunt! I would never send someone to pick me up. If it wasn't for Aunt Six who was coming to the capital, she would bring me here along the way. I don't know when I will be back." Woolen cloth!"

"You don't see your family members all year round. Didn't I want you to stay at home for more days and get together with your parents more?"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Haven't met your cousin? I'll thank your sixth aunt later. It's a burden to take care of you after such a long journey!"

Wan Shi waved his hand: "My family, why are you being polite? Eleven Niang said that she really misses my aunt and grandma, and the road around me is boring, so she brought her!"

Feng Shiniang and Feng Yuejiao's smile is very cute. Although she didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, she waited for Yiqing to say hello before making a blessing and calling her "cousin", but generally speaking, she was better than Wang Wenhui. It looks pleasing to the eye, so Yiqing is still sincere and friendly to her.

Afterwards, Wan Shi gave Yiqing an extremely delicate jewelry box inlaid with pearl oysters, and said, "You were unable to come to congratulate me on the day you got married. This is a kindness from my uncle and aunt, please accept it!"

Yiqing liked that antique box, but she thought it was expensive, so she politely declined, and Mrs. Zheng said: "Since uncle Liu and aunt are so kind, then accept it!"

So Yiqing thanked her embarrassingly, and handed it over to Huayu.

I met Zheng Lanti and Fang Baochan again, and after talking a few words, Yiqing went back to sit beside Mrs. Zheng—she couldn't go back to Mrs. Zheng's place, and Feng Yuejiao leaned beside the old lady, talking for some reason.

Mother Chi handed over the pastry box brought back by Pang's mansion to Nanny Lin and Chun Nuan, who cut it into plates and brought it up. Mrs. Zheng picked up one and handed it to Feng Yuejiao, then took another piece into her mouth, took a bite, and nodded. Said: "Well, it's very delicious, sweet, soft and refreshing, everyone try it!"

Yiqing put two pieces on a small plate for Mrs. Zheng, and Wan Shi also ate one piece, nodding in praise. Zheng Lanti and Fang Baochan took a sip with a perfunctory expression, and then, taking advantage of Yiqing's inattention, Fang Baochan called Chun Nuan to let her eat. She sent some cakes to the West Hall, where her son and Zheng Lanti's daughter were playing.

Fang Zhengshi didn't eat, saying that she was afraid of holding on, and the dinner would not be sweet after a while.

Mrs. Zheng said: "Can one or two pieces of pastry support you? You won't be able to eat delicious food, so it's up to you!"

He also ordered Chun Nuan: "Cut some and send them to the front yard, and let uncle Liu, uncle Gong's cousin, and Wen Yuan taste two pieces. This is made by the mother-in-law of Lord Hou, and let everyone around Lord Hou taste it! This pastry is kept until Think it won't go bad tomorrow, right? Tomorrow Baozhang will come back from the academy, leave some money for him!"

Chunnuan promised to go down, Fang Zheng thought about it, and picked up a piece and chewed slowly.

Before dinner, Yiqing asked Chunnuan to put a few cold dishes on plates and bring them up. At first sight of the green, white, and excellent-looking vegetarian dishes served on the table, and smelling the smell of sour vinegar and sesame oil, Zheng The old lady moved her index finger and asked with a smile: "Qing'er, is this the fresh cold salad made by your mother? Just looking at it makes me want to eat it. Come on, bring the bowls and chopsticks!"

Yiqing smiled and said, "Grandmother, this is made from the freshest and tender wild vegetables in spring, with a little bit of spicy flavor mixed in, you can try it first and see if you can eat it?"

"Okay, isn't it just spicy? When I was young, I ate it just like your grandfather, don't be afraid!"

Zheng Lanti stepped up to stop her: "I heard what my sister-in-law said? Wild vegetables? What are you doing? How can people like us eat wild vegetables? What a shame, grandma, you can't eat them!"

Fang Zheng also hurriedly said: "That's right, we don't eat this even in the village outside the city!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at Yiqing and hesitated, "Qing'er, is this really edible?"

Yiqing smiled: "Mom, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, every spring, no matter how wealthy the family was, they would eat a few baskets of freshly pinched wild vegetables! These wild vegetables are different from the cabbage that grows in the vegetable garden. They don't need to be eaten by farmers. Planting, there is no need to fertilize and weed, they are food given by God, as long as they are eaten at the right time, they will have certain nourishing and disease-preventing effects! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lord Marquis, he understands herbs, so he naturally knows these principles!”

Fang Baochan said: "Then what if you pick the wrong thing and it's poisonous? Grandma eats it, wouldn't it be... bad?"

Yiqing lost her patience, turned her face to look at Fang Baochan and said coldly: "Cousin, grandma, I think you seem to be very bad, if you feel unwell, go back to your room and rest!"

Fang Baochan: "You..."

Fang Zheng winked at her daughter, Fang Baochan had no choice but to bear it.

Yiqing said to Chunnuan with little interest: "Then just throw these away!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Wait a minute, it was made by my mother-in-law. The color is so fresh and beautiful, I really want to try it!"

Old Mrs. Zheng said: "I want to taste it too! Who told me to take it away? Qing'er is a curmudgeonly girl, so she can't say anything bad about her! Look, there are still customers here, so be petty!"

Yiqing was secretly hurt by the old lady's words, it was clearly her granddaughter who started the trouble, and she was just trying to cover up her shortcomings, but she actually made up her own troubles!
No way, who made people the ancestors?What can you do to her?
Wan said with a smile: "Actually, this wild vegetable is indeed edible. Does my aunt remember that we also have the custom of eating spring vegetables in our hometown. Every spring, we pick shepherd's purse and eat it. It is said that it is really medicinal and can prevent diseases!"

Mrs. Zheng said: "I don't know? Yan'er is too busy this year. In previous years, every spring, he would personally pick a few sprouts to cook soup for us. I don't know what it is. It tastes fragrant and slightly Shuzui, it's good! Qing'er, what kind of dishes do you have?"

Yiqing pointed at everything with her chopsticks: "This is shepherd's purse."

Wan Shi and Mrs. Zheng took a closer look at the same time and exclaimed: "Oh, this is shepherd's purse? It's so good!"

Yiqing was speechless, and continued: "It's really good. Shepherd's purse is cool in nature, sweet and light in taste, fragrant, and non-toxic! It is rich in nutrition and has good healing effects. The soreness and softness have a preventive effect, and can also prevent headaches, hematuria, nosebleeds and other diseases!"

"Really?" Wan Shi said, "Then I have to eat a few more bites, I often have a headache!"

"This is Malantou, which nourishes the liver and blood, clears the liver fire, and can prevent glaucoma, red eyes and swelling pain; this is Artemisia annua, which is good for the liver and gallbladder; this is the ground fairy grass, which can clear away heat and thirst, and can improve eyesight; ..."

Wan Shi admired and was surprised: "This child knows so much!"

The old lady Zheng asked: "Qing'er, did Yan'er tell you this?"

Yi Qing said in her heart: That's not it. In her previous life, her family made wild vegetable cold salad every spring. She likes to eat it, so she checked it online in her spare time.

She replied: "When I was in my hometown in Jiangnan, the old people talked about the benefits of these wild vegetables every spring, and I remembered it at a very young age!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Yan'er often said that the way to maintain health is not to rely on precious medicinal materials and supplements, but also to obtain accumulation from daily diet. As a man, he always feels guilty for not being able to accompany us closely. Son, understand more or less, replace him by our side, this is also where their fate is bound together!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at Yiqing with a smile: "That's right, Qing'er seems to have been specially born for Yan'er, I think the two of them are becoming more and more in love with each other..."

Mrs. Zheng nodded slightly thoughtfully: "I am in love...of course I want it!"
