Half of the greenhouses are growing new seedlings, and the other half are growing various fruits and vegetables. There is nothing special about the vegetables, they are just common ones with extra large and plump leaves. Fruits are different. There is watermelon, which is only seen in summer.
Jiang Shaohua leaned down, looked around carefully, and caught one: "This watermelon looks very good."
She is a princess after all, so when eating watermelons, she has to choose extra round ones. .
Cui Du immediately said: "Princess, wait a moment, I will pick it."
The watermelon grown in the greenhouse has green skin and red soil, and the juice overflows when you bite it.
One melon was not enough for everyone, so Cui Du picked seven or eight, washed them and cut them into pieces. The soldiers walked for half a day and ate a piece of watermelon, not to mention how delicious it was.
At this point, Cui Du still looked regretful: "This watermelon is not too sweet. In a year or two, I will cultivate a new variety of watermelon, and the princess will be able to eat really delicious ones. Watermelon.”
Jiang Shaohuayou He praised sincerely: "I think what I ate today was very good."
Cui Du grinned happily: "The taste is just mediocre."
It's rare to have such a good taste in front of the princess. The pride of having seen the world.
Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced at Cui Du: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to grow more delicious food." He sighed a little: "Twenty taels of silver is not much, but it is really a lot. Officials and wealthy merchants could afford to build, but ordinary people could not. "
Cui Du also had some regrets: "Yes, the wood is not expensive, but the coarse cloth and oil paper used to build the roof are too expensive."
Ordinary people can't afford such coarse cloth. Three to five feet is enough to make a new suit of clothes. Nowadays, building a greenhouse requires a staggering amount of coarse cloth, which ordinary people cannot afford.
Jiang Shaohua seemed to be saying to himself: "One day, I will let all the people in Nanyang County live a good life where they can afford to build greenhouses and eat fruits."
< br>The princess always thinks about the people.
Such a kind princess deserves everyone's love and respect.
Cui Du felt warm in his heart and whispered: "There will be a day."
Jiang Shaohua laughed, and Cui Du also laughed.
Chen Jinyu suddenly felt that she was a little redundant on the sidelines. The Mashu people felt the same way. The two looked at each other and slowed down in a tacit understanding.
A pair of boys and girls in front of them walked side by side without knowing it, and there was a strange harmony.
"Eh? Is this an eggplant?"
"Yes, there are green peppers over there."
"Is this a leek?"
"Well, this piece of All are leeks. Once you cut a crop of leeks, another crop can grow. Some people are used to growing them in their own courtyards. Plant some in the seeds, and cut a handful if you want to eat them. The seeds I planted in the greenhouse are from selected high-quality seeds. They are grown exceptionally well with enough fertilizer. If the princess stays at the farm tonight, I will do it myself. Let’s make a leek box for the princess to eat!”
“Is the leek box delicious?”
"The princess will know after you taste it once."
That night, Jiang Shaohua tasted the leek box made by Cui Du himself.
Jiang Shaohua has been well-fed and well-educated since he was a child. There are eight chefs in the palace, and they can cook all kinds of cuisines. There is also a chef who specializes in making dim sum, and he has tasted all kinds of delicacies.
This is a common pasta dish like leek box, which is not considered elegant. This is the first time Jiang Shaohua has eaten it. When you bite into it, the dough is crispy and the filling is delicious.
Jiang Shaohua’s eyes lit up: “It’s really delicious.”
Cui Du raised his eyebrows proudly: "There is a secret to my leek box. When people make this, pure leeks are used as fillings. I specially use fat and lean meat, oil it, mince it into minced meat, and mix it with the leeks. Make the stuffing together. It tastes particularly delicious this way. “Wouldn’t it be more delicious if there is enough oil and water?
What's more, in order to make this box of chives, he did everything by himself, from kneading the dough to mixing the stuffing, rolling out the dough and making pancakes, and then personally frying the pancakes. He stared at the fire as carefully as he did when writing a paper. There is no reason why such a carefully made leek box should not be delicious.
He also specially picked a few cucumbers, seasoned them with salt and minced garlic, stir-fried a plate of tender leaves, and paired them with a bowl of braised pork.
Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled, stopped talking, and ate half of the leek box with concentration.
Cui Du grinned at first, but then he became a little worried: "The princess can still eat it? The princess likes to eat, I will just do it in the future. Don't hold on."
"I The appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people, and I can’t hold it back.” Jiang Shaohua smiled casually and said: "How is it? Have you never seen a girl who can eat like me?"
Cui Du is also a real person: "I have never seen you."
I have never seen such a beautiful, intelligent, powerful and capable person!
I have never seen a girl who is generous and kind-hearted to the common people.
The princess is unique in heaven and earth!
Jiang Shaohua didn't seem to understand the meaning of Cui Du's words, and smiled with a crooked eyebrow: "I had a great time tonight, and I have to reward you heavily! Tell me, what reward do you want?"< br>
Cui Du quickly declined: "The princess rewarded me with twenty thousand taels of silver and asked me to build a thousand greenhouses. I am already satisfied. How can I ask for a reward from the princess again..."
"With so many greenhouses, we always need manpower to take care of them. I will select a hundred agile people from the family members of the guards to come to the farm and listen to your instructions. Why? Like?”
Cui Du’s eyes lit up and he immediately changed his words: “Thank you, Princess!”
Facts have proved that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.
Jiang Shaohua smiled sweetly.
......
Chen Changshi and others also ate the leek box tonight.
The food they ate was cooked by the chef and tasted very fresh. Paired with a few side dishes, a few glasses of wine, and the autumn evening breeze, it feels so beautiful.
Chen Jinyu looked around from time to time.
Chen Changshi glanced at his granddaughter: "If the princess and Mr. Cui have something important to say, you can wait here with peace of mind."
Chen Jinyu had to look away and whispered: "Men and women are alone, I planted it on melons and plums. I was afraid that it would be spread. It will harm the princess's reputation."
Chen Changshi said calmly: "The princess is the king, and we are the ministers. In the eyes of the ministers, the princess has no distinction between men and women. The princess often calls me alone. Go discuss matters.”
How is this the same!
My grandfather is old enough to be the grandfather of the princess. That Cui Du is the same age as the princess.
Chen Jinyu whispered in her heart.
The leek box was so delicious that she quickly blocked her mouth.
After dinner, the princess was not idle and went to visit the farm accompanied by Cui Du.
Chen Jinyu wanted to follow, but Ma Yaozong coughed and said with a smile: "After a busy day, Chen Sheren must be tired, so go and rest first! Behind the princess, there is Qin Guard Meng Guards following, everything will be fine .”
Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao were not stupid at all and followed him from a distance. The rest were about a dozen soldiers, and they dispersed far away, so as not to disturb the princess and Mr. Cui's gossip.
"The moon is extra round tonight," Jiang Shaohua stopped: "Cui Du, are you used to living here? Do you miss home?"
