Chapter 87
"Go to Zhuangzi." Si Haochen looked at Mingruo, who was unable to extricate himself from medical books. Along the way, he was not only reading, but also taking notes very seriously. Mingruo's enthusiasm for reading should be able to get the top scorer if he goes on for a long time.
This farm has half a mountain, and the back mountain is a tea garden. In front is a large field, with farmers cultivating winter wheat in the fields. On the front mountain, there are rows of houses and a maple forest.
Now is the season for viewing maple - white walls and black tiles are hidden in the fiery red maple forest, which has a unique charm.
The carriage stepped on the stone road and went up to the middle of the mountain, and stopped in front of a courtyard: "Master, we're here."
"Get out of the car." Si Haochen reminded Ming Ruo again.
"Hmm?" Ming Ruo put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Si Haochen in a daze.
"Well, um, I only read books but not the road, I don't know if I sell you." Si Haochen gave Mingruo a blank look and walked off the carriage.
Mingruo put away the book and quickly followed. When he got off the car, Mingruo reached out and just helped the hand handed by his boss Haochen. He developed a habit along the way, and the two of them had a tacit understanding.
This courtyard is very unique. When you enter the door, you will find a small pond. You have to go around from the veranda on both sides to the main room. There is a big red maple tree in front of the main room. The maple leaves fall in the pond and the koi are playing among the maple leaves, which is very interesting.
The yard is very beautifully decorated. Mingruo looked around and said that if he had a mobile phone, he could use any corner to take pictures as wallpaper.
A gust of wind blew, and the maple leaves fell down, and Mingruo shivered. As he returned, the weather was getting colder and colder.
"Get into the house, it's windy outside." Si Haochen led Mingruo into the main room.
This room is interesting. The bedroom, study and living room are not completely separated. They are only divided by screens or bead curtains, but they are not obvious. They are a bit like modern holiday cottages.
"This room is unique." Ming Ruo couldn't help but praise.
"If you like, we can come often." Si Haochen sat down, "There are warm springs here, and fresh vegetables can grow in winter."
"Can I go and have a look?" Mingruo didn't expect that the ancient people were so wise that they actually used geothermal heat to plant greenhouses.
"Look at the food?" Si Haochen didn't understand what the food looked good.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded quickly.
"..." Si Haochen knew that the vegetables were planted in the village, but he had never been there where it was.
Si Haochen walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Mingruo hurriedly followed. Shiwu and Ayigang moved their luggage in: "Master, where are you going?"
"Look at the food." Si Haochen's words are as precious as gold.
"Ah... we just arrived, and I'm afraid there is no food in the kitchen yet." Ah Yi replied.
"Born." Si Haochen added, finding his secret guard as stupid as a pig.
"..." Ayi and Shiwu both looked confused.
"Well, I want to go and see the vegetables raised in Nuanquan." Seeing Si Haochen's disgusted look, Mingruo felt that it was so pitiful to be his subordinate.
"I know where it is." Shiwu directly stacked the boxes he was carrying on Ayi's move and ran in front to lead the way.
Not far from the kitchen, there are three open houses for growing vegetables. As soon as you enter, you feel very warm. The roof is covered with bright tiles, which can be shined through the light during the day. Mingruo looked at various green vegetables and tender cucumbers, and was full of interest in picking, so he started to do it directly.
Shiwu quickly found the bamboo basket and saw that the master was following his wife and handed the bamboo basket over directly. Si Haochen felt very comforted. Shiwu was indeed more eye-catching than Ayi.
Mingruo had a handful of cabbage in his left hand and a handful of water spinach in his right hand. When he was envious of Brother Octopus, Si Haochen took it at the right time and put it in the bamboo basket. Mingruo looked up at Si Haochen, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes curled. It seemed that Prince Iceberg was still a little angry.
Picking makes people happy. Mingruo smiled and said to Si Haochen: "I will make delicious food for you later."
"Okay." Si Haochen nodded.
"Fifteenth, let the kitchen stew a pot of chicken soup." Mingruo ordered.
"Yes." Fifteenth quickly went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Mingruo picked good vegetables and went to the kitchen. He directed the chef to wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and cut meat.
Si Haochen was invited to the dining room and saw the big round table empty, surrounded by a lot, but these dishes... Are you sure you can eat it? Various kinds of vegetables - raw, meat slices - raw, fish fillets - raw, dried mushrooms brought back from southern Yunnan, although water has been produced, they are also raw...
Mingruo put the fish balls and crispy meat he made on the table. Si Haochen breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw the cooked food. Ah Yi held a small red clay stove and placed it in the middle of the table, and put fifteen casseroles containing chicken soup on the fire.
"When the pot is boiled, you can eat it." Mingruo put the prepared dipping dish in front of Si Haochen, "This is a sesame oil dish, this is a sesame sauce dish, the vegetables and meat are boiled, and dipped in the sauce."
Mingruo put the mushrooms into the pot: "It's time to cook this for a while before it tastes good."
Mingruo rinsed the meat slices and put them on Si Haochen's plate: "Try it."
Looking at the light chicken soup, Si Haochen probably wouldn't be too delicious. Unexpectedly, the meat slices were smooth and fresh, and the ingredients were very delicious. Mingruo boiled vegetables and picked them up for him, which was fragrant and slightly sweet. The main reason is that it was very warm and novel when eating while burning.
"What's this called?" Si Haochen didn't know why Ming Ruo had so many novel ideas in his mind. In the past, he only used this small stove to make tea.
"Chicken Soup Hotpot." Although the red oil spicy pot has soul, as a person with a broken hand, it is also very happy to use the chicken soup cooked by others to make hotpot.
"It's very warm to eat this in winter." Si Haochen picked up the fish fillet and started to burn, "Is it cooked?"
"Well, the fillets are easy to cook."
Si Haochen picked up the fish fillet and gave it to Mingruo: "Let the shrimps be hot next time."
"Shrimps can be made into shrimp slips, and they are also delicious." Ming Ruo suddenly felt that Si Haochen was quite talented in food.
"Yeah." He knew that this girl likes to eat shrimp.
After eating the hot pot, they were warm. The two of them sat side by side in front of the window, watching the moon reflected in the pond, brightly.
"Do you like the imperial capital?" Mingruo supported his chin with his hands.
“It’s not a question of whether you like it or not.”
"Then where do you like? Your fiefdom or the northwest?" Ming Ruo was a little curious.
"In my opinion, it's the same everywhere." No matter where he is, there are many things waiting for him to do, and it's not too different, "You don't like the imperial capital."
Si Haochen used a statement, and Mingruo really didn't like the imperial capital: "Yes."
"Why?"
"Because... people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky." Mingruo is actually afraid of trouble.
"Haha." She said it was right. Danxu wished to come and find fault every day.
"Don't you think it's very troublesome to be in the emperor?" Ming Ruo was curious.
"Just get used to it." Si Haochen felt that Danxu was fine every few days. If he stopped and did not make trouble, he would have to be alert, which meant he was planning to do big things.
