Chapter 103 Ripe Melon
On a bright day, Osmanthus Village is also picturesque and stunningly beautiful. Green mountains are everywhere, and the fields are also green. Looking at the green color, it seems that the hot day is not so hot after all.
Along the way, Li Xin would open the curtains and look outside. At this time of year, the wheat in the fields was growing very green, which was really gratifying to see. In this world, crops are not yet abundant. After years of cultivation by the people,
Through experience, a planting pattern of two crops a year has been formed, one season of wheat and one season of rice. Occasionally, some families will plant cash crops such as peanuts, but these are rare cases.
At this time of year, almost every field you can see is planted with green wheat.
When you arrive at Guihua Village, you can see that the land that belongs to the name of Guihua Village is also full of green wheat. When a gust of wind comes, the green waves are rolling, which is surprisingly beautiful. The days after the beginning of spring are relatively smooth, and this year's harvest should be very good!
After returning to his house, Li Xin looked around at the house and outside, then went to his fields.
In order to facilitate unified management, the eight acres of watermelon at home are planted with watermelons. When we arrived at our melon field, we saw green watermelon vines, with many watermelons lying in between, including large watermelons that had grown for some time.
There are also small watermelons that have just grown up. Green vines, green melon rinds, and small white flowers grow in one place, creating a complete scene.
When Li Xin returned to Guihua Village from the capital, the watermelons had already been planted. After that, Wang Fu and his wife would have people come over every two days to take a look. When the watermelon seedlings gradually grew up, the people who took care of the melon field
The people who came to pick him up became more frequent. Later, after Li Xin came back, he asked the two people who took care of the melon fields to live directly in the house in Osmanthus Village to make it easier to take care of the melon fields.
Both of them are very dedicated and take good care of the melon fields.
"This melon looks really good." Li Xin walked on the field ridge, occasionally checking on the watermelon.
"I have planted a lot of other melons, but I have never seen or eaten this cold melon. At most I have heard of it. The melon has grown and is quite big, but I don't know if it is good or not." He was in the field.
When the servants who were working saw Li Xin coming, they quickly came over to wait on him.
"This is very good. After learning from experience, we will get better and better in the future." Li Xin said and went to check the watermelons in the field. There were really some ripe ones. She picked the ripe ones.
Some people also taught the two people who manage the watermelons how to tell whether the watermelons are ripe.
After picking two baskets of watermelons, Li Xin asked two servants to help move the watermelons back to the house. He took a knife and cut a watermelon. The watermelon was really ripe, with red flesh and sweet juice.
It looks very appetizing. It is really a pleasure to eat watermelon in this hot season.
Li Xin then cut a few more watermelons. They were all very ripe and tasted very sweet. They seemed to taste better than the ones that shopkeeper Sun sent home last year. Li Xin gave the cut watermelons to the house.
Several people were divided.
After eating the watermelon, Li Xin left Vanilla alone in the house. These days, Vanilla has been teaching Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi how to cook. Li Xin has never paid attention to how Lian and his daughter are doing.
, and I have never asked. As for how to teach Vanilla and how the Lian family mother and daughter learn it, that is the fate of the Lian family mother and daughter.
But now that Li Xin has come to this house, it would not be good if he remains indifferent.
"Miss, do you want to ask the servants how they are doing in cooking?" Xiang Xiang stayed, and seeing that Li Xin remained silent, she asked in a low voice with some anxiety.
"Now that you have guessed it, let's talk about it!"
"I have learned quite well. Even the madam and the girl are very serious. Even the madam did not know how to cook when she was in the boudoir. She has never done anything like making a fire, washing vegetables, or chopping vegetables. Now, she can
Those who don't know how to learn have learned it. Even the girl doesn't know how to do it at all. She's very bad at everything and learns very slowly." Vanilla answered carefully.
"So, Mrs. Lian can now cook good meals?" In fact, Li Xin had guessed that Mrs. Lian could cook. As a mistress of a wealthy family, there was no need to prepare meals for the family.
However, being able to occasionally cook a few dishes for your family is a good thing, and it can also bring the relationship between family members closer.
Therefore, Mrs. Lian Zhou should not have never learned to cook. However, the cooking of ladies from wealthy families is different from that of people in the countryside. In the countryside, everyone in every household has a division of labor.
, and the workload is definitely not light. The person at home has to do almost all the housework at home, and cooking and cooking naturally has to be done independently. This includes making fires, cooking, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking, etc., so
People who grew up in the countryside can at least cook good meals, not only how delicious they are.
But rich people are different. There are so many servants in the house, so there is no need to do everything by themselves. Just cooking, cooking occasionally is fun, just for fun. Naturally, it is impossible for ladies to finish every meal on their own.
, almost all that needs to be done is cooking, and all other preparations should be done by slaves.
"Miss Hui, that's indeed the case."
"That's good. You should continue teaching. Now that Mrs. Lian can cook her own meals, you can also put more energy into Lian Zhi! Let Lian Zhi learn well, at least until you leave.
When the time comes, she should be able to cook a few edible dishes on her own. I don’t expect them to do anything to help. At least, their own lives should not be too bad. "
"Don't worry, young lady, I will teach you well."
"That's good. I believe you will teach her well." After speaking, Li Xin waved her hand to let Xianghua go down.
In the afternoon, Zhu Yong drove the carriage to the Li family's house in Guihua Village to pick up Li Xin. Li Xin asked Zhu Yong to put two baskets of watermelons on the carriage. After saying goodbye to Lian Zhou, he got on the horse.
The album went to the town. There is still a short distance from Guihua Village to Sanshi Town. If you take a carriage, it will be very fast, but if you walk, it will still be very tiring.
Ever since their family had a carriage, Li Xin's family had almost always traveled by carriage from Guihua Village to the town, and rarely walked. After getting used to it, they seemed to not want to walk such a long distance even more.
"Is there nothing going on in Zhuangzi?" Li Xin talked to Zhu Yong while the carriage was driving. Although she knew that there were so many people in Zhuangzi, nothing big would happen. If there was really a big thing, Wang Fu and his wife
The two of them will definitely get someone to come and report her. However, it was the first Zhuangzi she had, and her relationship was still very deep. She always wanted to know what was going on in the Zhuangzi.
"The ones at Zhuangzi are very good, but the cherry tomatoes are already ripe, and the tomatoes have to wait a little longer. Although the peppers are not completely ripe yet, they are already edible. This time, I brought a basket of cherry tomatoes and
Some green chili peppers are back. It is also the wish of Brother Wang and Sister-in-law Wang to let the young ladies and gentlemen have a taste. The young lady has not been to Zhuangzi recently, and has also brought some produce for the young lady to take a look and see if she needs to inform Pinxiang Pavilion.
Already."
"It's good that Zhuangzi has something to produce again." Although he didn't have any money left in his hands, Li Xin still hoped that there would be something from Zhuangzi. After all, it took a lot of money to buy Zhuangzi.
She needed to get back some capital as soon as possible. She was still thinking that when she could earn some more money, she would ask people around to see if there was a suitable farm or a large piece of fertile land to buy, so that she could add more property to her family.
Now that Wenbo and I are still young, there are not many places where money is needed at home. However, as the children grow up, there will be more places where money is needed at home.
There are also dowries for Yuexiang and Yueting. If the family has some spare money, it is time to prepare some. I heard that in this world, parents have to prepare dowries for girls when their children are still very young.
, I am just afraid that when the time comes, I will have money in my hand, and there will be nowhere to buy good things. If you see good ones, buy them, and save them slowly. When you need them, you don’t have to panic.
Although the two children are still very young now, it is still too early to talk about marriage. However, there is nothing wrong with preparing early. She also hopes to give her two children better things, at least,
Don't get busy only when the time comes, as it will be uneven and bad.
Moreover, she does not belong to this world. She is an anomaly living here. She doesn’t know what her future life will be like, whether she will stay here for the rest of her life, or whether she will return to the previous world.
Or, completely disappear from the world.
Since the road ahead is unclear and unclear, it might not be a bad thing to take precautions now.
If she can arrange everything for Wenbo and others, then even if she leaves one day, she should have no regrets!
