Two days later, shopkeeper Sun brought his waiters to Li Xin's house to pick up the jars for soaking the sour bamboo shoots. Li Xin did not expect that shopkeeper Sun would come in person, so he quickly welcomed the people into the living room to sit down.

"Why did shopkeeper Sun come here in person?" Li Xin said as he sent Wenbo and Wenhao to make tea and serve snacks.

"I haven't come to Miss Li's house to sit down yet! I just thought I'd come over so I won't disturb you!"

"It's so wonderful that shopkeeper Sun can come! How can this be considered an intrusion?"

"How can such a nice house be called Penguin? Speaking of which, did Miss Li actually hire craftsmen from the north? It really feels very friendly to see such a house here."

"Occasionally I heard people talk about how houses are built in the north, which are suitable for a family to live in. I thought it would be good to build it, so I talked to the craftsmen and they built it."

Li Xin did not dare to tell the truth. After all, she had seen this kind of courtyard style in the north in her previous life, but in this life, this body had never been to the north. The architectural style in the north is different from that in the south.

There are big differences. For example, northerners like courtyards surrounded on all sides, and the houses on the four sides are not connected, so the enclosed courtyard is very spacious.

There are reasons for the architectural style in the north. The north is more sparsely populated than the south, so the house can be built in a larger area. However, the south has a relatively dense population, so generally not such a large house is built. Therefore

Generally speaking, the courtyards that occasionally appear in the south are connected by houses on four sides, and the yards are relatively small. Moreover, the south is generally cold and humid, so when building houses, they like to build buildings in the form of a courtyard, with the houses on each side being two-story buildings.

A two-story building. If there is a large population, people can live in the upper floors. Even if no one lives there, it can be used to store food and other things.

"The north really likes to build houses like this. Many big houses are built one after another like this. Some houses have more than ten courtyards! They take up most of the street. Miss Li can go to the capital to see one in the future.

Look, almost all the houses there look like this. The wealthy families live in large numbers, and there are also ordinary families who live in a small courtyard, and some live in a large courtyard together, with many people living in one courtyard."

"I must go and take a look when I have time." Speaking of which, she still doesn't know what dynasty this place is, let alone where the capital is. Almost no one in the village has ever traveled far, and they have only been to the county once.

, that can be regarded as something to show off. Not to mention a place like the capital, for the people of the small Osmanthus Village, it is simply a sacred and very remote place. Moreover, for such a small place, now

It doesn't matter what dynasty it is or who sits on the throne, and it has no personal relationship. So she never pays attention to those things, and naturally she can't inquire with anyone.

It seems that when I have time and money in the future, I will go out for a walk anyway. I finally came here, and I still have to go out for a walk. At least I must know what dynasty this place is! The capital must be

It would be very interesting, a center of national power! It must be extremely prosperous! No matter what, I must find a way to go to the capital.

After a while, Wenbo and Wenhao brought snacks and made tea. Shopkeeper Sun tasted it and then talked about business. Li Xin also knew that they were making those pots, so he took people to the hut in the backyard.

Shopkeeper Sun arrived at the backyard and looked at the vegetable garden with great interest. He was very curious when he saw pumpkin vines and potatoes that he had never seen before. Li Xin also explained that those were seeds occasionally obtained from foreigners.

She said it was delicious, so she took it and planted it.

She also remembered that the potatoes were about to be harvested, and a batch of pumpkins could also be harvested. She originally thought about taking them to Shopkeeper Sun to take a look at some time. Since Shopkeeper Sun is here now, why not let him have a taste! She

So he asked shopkeeper Sun to stay for lunch. Shopkeeper Sun initially refused, but when he heard that he wanted to eat vegetables he had never seen before, he readily agreed.

Shopkeeper Sun asked people to move the jars of pickled bamboo shoots back to town first, while he stayed with a waiter and said he would leave after lunch. Li Xin asked Wenbo and others to accompany shopkeeper Sun while she went

In the backyard, I picked a few tender pumpkins, some pumpkin tips and pumpkin flowers, and dug a few potato plants. The land here is still fertile, and the potato seeds should be very good. Although there is no fertilizer, the potatoes

It still grows very well, is not small in size, and has a lot of fruit on one plant. Seeing this, Li Xin is still very happy. Although the yield is far from comparable to the one grown by his grandparents, but

It was already pretty good. Harvest always makes people feel happy. What she planted finally had a big harvest. She was really happy and wanted to laugh.

In fact, the human heart is still very easy to be satisfied, but if you have been busy for a long time, sometimes you don't know how to make yourself feel satisfied.

At noon, Li Xin made several dishes using tender pumpkin and potatoes, including stir-fried shredded potatoes, stewed braised pork with potatoes, crispy potato shreds, shredded pumpkin meat, stir-fried pumpkin tips, and pumpkin flower and mushroom soup.

Shopkeeper Sun and Wenbo have never eaten pumpkins and potatoes, so they were curious about them at the beginning, and they found them even more delicious after eating them. Li Xin also hadn’t eaten them in a few days, so he still missed the taste of potatoes.

It is a dish that is hard to get tired of, and there are many ways to prepare it. She has always remembered that growing up, potatoes were always available in the school cafeteria all year round, fried, fried, stewed, and boiled.

Wait, it's shredded, sliced, and lumpy. It seems like you never get tired of eating it all the time. And the taste of such fresh and tender pumpkin is still very good, sweet and refreshing, and you will feel very comfortable eating it.

After lunch, shopkeeper Sun immediately told Li Xin that he wanted to buy pumpkins and potatoes. Li Xin naturally agreed, but he also told the situation that a lot of seeds had to be left behind for both, so not many could be sold.

When shopkeeper Sun was about to leave, Li Xin picked some pumpkins and asked Wen Hao to carefully dig out some potatoes. They put them all in a basket and asked shopkeeper Sun to take them back to try. He also told shopkeeper Sun how many people there were.

Such a simple home-cooked dish is actually very easy to make, not to mention the chefs at Pinxiang Pavilion! It is not certain that some new dishes can be invented.

This time, Li Xin didn’t ask shopkeeper Sun for money for the recipe. Shopkeeper Sun left a banknote of 100 taels for Li Xin before leaving, saying it was to buy the bamboo shoot juice. (Please support me!)
