"Spread the seeds. What do you want to eat?"
"Spinach, leeks, lettuce, lettuce."
Shen Xingqi counted with her fingers happily, and the two people next to her could hear them shouting. Want to laugh.
“Why are they all green leafy vegetables?”
“Of course you have to see green leafy vegetables in the winter to feel good. Look, the leaves are yellow, yellow, red, and falling. All over the place.”
Cheng Xi looked up in the direction the little girl pointed, and saw that the neighbor's maple tree was bright red, and there were many red leaves scattered on the ground in his yard, which could be used as specimens.
Hey guys, it’s really going to be winter.
She was in a trance, and felt a little more realistic about returning from the interstellar plane.
“You really need some greenery to feel good in winter, so plant these.”
In ancient times, materials were poor, and Kyoto was in the north with four distinct seasons, so only the rich and powerful had it. If possible, spend money to build a greenhouse and eat vegetables during the coldest period.
"Okay!"
Shen Xingqi's eyes curved into a crescent shape with joy, and she quickly brought a small backpack containing seeds. The three of them worked together to plant the seeds one by one, and spread the soil. Sprinkle a layer of water to soak it, and the rest is waiting.
The small "cellar" is divided into three floors due to the existence of wooden troughs. Although it takes up a small area, there are really a lot of seeds to plant. If it is successful, there will be no need to worry about vegetables in winter.
Ah - this happy life!
While we were busy here, several slaves came to the front yard one after another, so Su Zhan, who had just come out of the study, ran over to entertain them without touching the ground.
The Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Du Mansion, Jiang Mansion, and the Qin family sent good gifts, and even the neighbors in the alley gave some meaningful pastries, and people they knew and didn't know came to congratulate them.
The Shen family was very lively, and the whole alley was beaming with joy.
“I saw that those aunts on the street were happier than us. Every time we met them when we went out, they were smiling from ear to ear.”
Shen Xingqi would bring her hope every morning Shu went to the market to buy vegetables. In the past two days, he had seen the skills of his aunts.
“It’s so scary!” “I’ve never seen you so afraid of those aunts in Shenjia Village.”
"That's different."
The little girl has sharp eyes. She can clearly distinguish who is really nice to her and who is just showing off, although the aunts will not treat her badly due to their power. Malicious, but the look in his eyes, like a wolf meeting a sheep, still feels fuzzy.
However, she had to go out.
“By the way, sister-in-law, when are we going to buy winter cabbage?”
"No need to buy this year."
"Huh?"
What do you mean? Is it possible that people in Kyoto have very busy winter markets?
Cheng Xi looked at her little head, "You forgot, our family also has a village in the suburbs of Beijing."
"Ah!"
Obviously, the little girl has not completed the transformation of her identity from a low-level farmer to a manor owner, and she has completely forgotten about this incident.
Most of the land in Zhuangzi is rented to nearby villagers to grow food. Because there are slaves left behind in Zhuangzi, some land will be left to support daily expenses, such as water spinach, which is indispensable for growing.
Cheng Xi remembers clearly that he even saw the shadow of the cabbage at that time.
“We don’t have much to eat in the winter. If we don’t have enough from the village, we can buy it from nearby villagers, which will also give them some income.”
Everything that enters the gate of Kyoto will be expensive. A few points higher, not to mention it’s not fresh.
"It makes sense, let's do it like this."
Shen Xingqi nodded, jotting down the matter and planning to take action in a few days.
Purchasing has become her job since she took over the kitchen. The little girl reads, embroiders and trains all day long. Going out more is also good for physical and mental health. Cheng Xi sees that she doesn’t object and lets her do it. She did.
