Fan Caiying's pregnancy is a great good news for the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

In this social relationship with family and blood ties, the prosperity of family members is a sign of prosperity.

Although Fan Caiying has a low status, under the care of Chen Xu, Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and Meng Wan and Fan Caiying are like sisters, and there is no big difference or barrier. Therefore, the Marquis' Mansion dares not be disrespectful to Fan Caiying from top to bottom. From food and accommodation to the equipment of servants, there is almost no difference between Meng Wan and others, and the dietary arrangements are taken care of in every detail.

While Fan Caiying was pregnant, news that the Qinghe Marquis took another concubine came out, so these two things soon became a topic of relish among the people of Xianyang. Even the princes, princes, ministers, civil and military officials couldn't help discussing it. Therefore, recently Chen Xu went to court, and many officials would come up to inquire about it very gossip and start handling government affairs with satisfaction. Even the emperor couldn't help asking about this matter in the court, saying that Chen Xu did a good job and wanted to take more concubines and pass on the blood of the disciples of the immortal family to spread.

The prosperity of Chen Xu's house will inevitably indicate that the Qin Dynasty will receive more care from Taiyi Immortal Lord, and with the protection of the immortal family, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably become more prosperous and prosperous. In the eyes of the emperor, this is closely related matters and cannot be tolerated. Whether the Qin Dynasty will be good in the future depends on whether there are many descendants in Chen Xu's family. As long as the royal family continues to marry, the royal family will get the blood of the immortal family. The closer this connection is, the more stable the royal family's status among the people will be. Ordinary people will respect the gods and immortals more regardless of whether there are people rebelling or not. Once the royal family integrates the blood of the immortals, the more people will respect the people. Anyone rebelled, they must first think about the consequences of offending the gods and immortals.

"Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister? With the emergence of Chen Xu, this concept has no status. Now the disciples of the Immortal Family are in charge of the Qin Dynasty to protect all the people of the world. I don't know whether the king, prince, general, and minister are not a man, but the disciples of the Immortal Family must have a man. Look at the daily smoke and incense of Taiyi Temple, which is now all over the world, you will know that. Whether it is officials, rich people or ordinary people, they will go to Taiyi Temple to worship melons, fruits, burn incense and worship to pray for everything going well, family safety, money, blessings, children, and wife, or even sows, they will pray to Taiyi Immortal Master to know, and they are not particular at all. Anyway, when the incense is inflated, Taiyi Immortal Master and Qinghe Marquis have to take care of it, and they never care about Qinghe Marquis.

"Brother, cucumbers are growing so big. When can I eat them?"

In the cold wind, Yu Ji and Xing'er, who had already had winter vacation, soaked in the greenhouse all day long in the greenhouse to observe the flowers they planted, and of course they were more concerned about the fruits and melons planted by Chen Xu.

In the middle of the greenhouse, a cucumber rack is wrapped in canes and lush branches and leaves, and tender yellow flowers are also blooming. There are many yellow and green cucumbers hanging between the emerald green leaves, with fresh and tender colors looking extremely pleasant.

Xing'er and Yu Ji, two girls, pulled Chen Xu's arms left and right, and came to the front of the cucumber rack. The eyes were full of twinkling little stars, and their mouths were still sucking saliva.

These two little girls are no longer saved!

When Chen Xu looked at these green cucumbers, he felt unlikely to wait until they were raised and mature, because these two girls would stay in front of the cucumber rack almost every day to count, hoping to taste the Western fruits and vegetables described by Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was also a little regretful. It was indeed a cucumber, but it was not as long as the cucumbers seen in later generations. The largest one was only about twenty centimeters. There were few round melon thorns on the surface, and the color was not a single green. Many were tender yellow or even pink and white.

This is a cucumber variety that is completely still in the wild and has not been screened by any artificial cultivation.

Seeing Chen Xu come in, a group of agricultural college teachers and students gathered together, watching the cucumbers and Adam's apples sensation.

"Mr. Marquis, these cucumbers should be edible!" A student sucked.

It’s not that they are interested, but that Chen Xu has also become very interested since the planting of this cucumber. If it is not delicious, the Marquis would not have spent such a great price to build this greenhouse.

Moreover, in this entire Weihe Plain, where everything withered, there is no green winter in the cold winter. It is indeed a great temptation to have such a shed of flowers blooming with green fruits and melons. Some students will even secretly eat a few fresh cucumber leaves to satisfy their cravings.

Chen Xu also swallowed secretly.

After waiting for more than two months, it is indeed time to taste it.

Chen Xu watched and searched in the cucumber rack, and finally chose the largest one. He picked the cucumber under the staring of a group of people, wiped it with his hands a few times and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Click~"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a long-lost familiar smell splashed in the mouth, and the tender melon flesh and juice filled the entire mouth, as if a springy breath instantly filled the whole body.

This smell is exactly the same as when I was a child, I ate cucumbers in the vegetable garden, and it is even more delicious.

The main reason is that Chen Xu has been thinking about this taste for too long.

It was a familiar memory that spanned more than two thousand years. In an instant, Chen Xu seemed to see a finger poking her forehead in front of her mother: "I don't go to do my homework after school, and I'm here to steal the flower melons!"

The memory of the moment filled my heart, Chen Xu's eyes were wet, and his movements were frozen unconsciously, and two lines of tears actually flowed down his cheeks.

"Brother Xiaoxu, why are you crying!" Yu Ji shook Chen Xu's arm gently and pulled his thoughts back from time and space more than two thousand years later.

"Wow, the cucumber must be too delicious. It actually made my brother cry!" Xing'er shouted heartlessly.

A group of teachers and students from the Agricultural College looked at each other, wondering what the cucumber tasted, the Marquis actually burst into tears.

"How is it, I guess it's spicy!"

"No, it must be too sweet!"

"It's bitter!"

A group of students gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

"Brother Xiaoxu, Yu Ji wants to eat too, give me a bite~" Yu Ji was still shaking Chen Xu's arm and begging.

"Oh, OK!" Chen Xu wiped his tears with his sleeves, picked one and folded it into two pieces and handed it to Xing'er and Yu Ji, and then said to a group of teachers and students, "You can pick a few big ones and pick them down and taste them, don't break the vine!"

"Yehhh~~" A cheer sounded in the greenhouse. A teacher picked out four cucumbers and broke them into several pieces. Each student divided them into a section, and in an instant, the sound of chewing in the entire greenhouse sounded.

"Well, it's so delicious, so crispy, tender and sweet!"

"That's right, the juice is very rich and sweet!"

"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that there would be such delicious fruits and vegetables in the bitter and cold Western Regions!"

A group of teachers and students ate their mouths full of juice, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and praised while eating.

"The cucumber is so delicious!" Yu Ji was like a hungry little wolf. The juice she ate fell on her clothes and kept shouting excitedly. Xing'er didn't even have time to speak. She opened her mouth and exposed two neat white teeth, and ate hard.

Chen Xu finished eating the cucumber in a few bites, then chose a few larger ones to pick them off, and told a group of teachers and students not to eat them secretly, and then took Xing'er and Yu Ji back to the other courtyard.

"Husband is back!" Ying Shiman and Shui Lingrou, who were playing with Chen Xi in the backyard, came up to him.

"Aunt, the cucumber is ripe and it's ready to eat. It's so delicious. Take a bite!" Yu Ji excitedly put the remaining cucumber in her hand to Shui Gentle's mouth. Shui Gentle gently bit off a piece of it in confusion, and instantly showed a look of surprise on her face, "It's really delicious!"

"Everyone comes in, Qiuxiang goes and calls Wan'er and Caiying. Today, my husband will make you a delicacy to satisfy your cravings!" Chen Xu rushed to the kitchen with a few cucumbers.

Cucumbers are fruits and vegetables, and they are naturally eaten in a variety of ways. Eating them raw and crispy and tender is a rare delicacy. The most common way to eat cucumbers is to be used as a cold dish.

Cold cucumbers are easy to operate. There is a popular ancestral method in later generations that can be done in three minutes, which is to shoot cucumbers with garlic paste.

In this era without almost no industrial and chemical pollution, coupled with greenhouse cultivation, cucumbers have almost no dust pollution from flowering to growth, and there are no pests in winter, so cleaning is unnecessary.

But following the good habit of washing hands before and after meals, Chen Xu simply washed a few cucumbers with clean water, then cut off the tips of the head and tail without peeling them. He gently patted them with a thick kitchen knife, cut them into small pieces of more than an inch long and served on a plate. Then peel a few heads of garlic and pounded them into garlic paste with a wooden mortar, sprinkle with salt, poured two spoons of small grinding sesame oil, and didn't need to put vinegar. Just mix them directly.

Under the observation of a group of chefs, Chen Xu's movements were dazzled. In less than five minutes, a plate of traditional dishes that were well-known to later generations was completed, and then he watched the Marquis of the Family run away with a plate.

When Chen Xu brought a plate of prepared garlic paste to the restaurant, Xing'er, Yu Ji, water, gentle Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying were all sitting neatly around the dining table. The four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter were also tiptoed to look through Qiu Shui at the entrance of the restaurant. Xing'er and Yu Ji couldn't wait to hold the chopsticks and wait.

"Haha, the food is here!"

Although it is not the time to eat now, it is already familiar with the cucumbers and servants in the vegetable greenhouse. They will go to the greenhouse to take a look at each other several times every day.

Today I suddenly could taste the fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions that I had been waiting for more than two months, which made the women in the room very excited.

The extravagant action of making my husband and the Marquis so concerned, and I couldn't help but spend more than 100,000 yuan to find a glass greenhouse. These fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions must taste different.

Chen Xu happily placed a plate of garlic and cucumbers in the center of the dining table with a happy face.
Chapter completed!
