Main Characters: Yu Yuanzheng, Shangguan Ziqi
Yu Yuanzheng transmigrated into the original host on her wedding night. Upon arriving, she was immediately forced to listen to her cousin and hus...
Yu Zheng looked in the distance in the direction Jiang Xi pointed.
"Hey, he looks familiar. Let's go over and take a look.
As they got closer, Yu Zheng could see clearly who it was.
"Yuying, Yuying!" Yu Zheng shouted at the top of her voice.
Yue Yuying was only focused on walking forward, not paying any attention to the people in the distance.
She was wearing a neat trouser suit and even had a small backpack on her back, just like the two maids beside her.
When he heard the shout, he immediately looked up and saw that it was Yu Zheng. He waved his hand happily: "Ying Zheng."
Yue Yuying didn't expect to see her friends here, so she trotted over to them.
There was a thin layer of sweat on her little face, and her hair was tied into a braid.
She is dressed like a typical country girl.
"Greetings, young master." Yue Yuying greeted Shangguan Ziqi first, then looked at Yu Zheng with a smile.
"Yuying, are you going up the mountain to pick wild fruits?" Yu Yuzheng guessed what they were doing as soon as she saw her outfit.
"Yes. How did you get here? Oh, I remember now, this farm is the dowry farm of Princess Rong." Yue Yuying suddenly remembered.
"Then how did you get here?"
"That farm over there belongs to our family. After the incident, my mother asked me to come to the farm to hide from the limelight."
"Oh. That's great. We live so close. We are going to stay here for a while. If you have time, come and play with me." Yu Yuzheng invited.
"Of course. I don't have any friends in this countryside. I didn't expect you to come. Sir, from now on your wife will belong to me during the day. You can't snatch her from me." Yue Yuying joked and made a face to provoke Shangguan Ziqi.
Yu Zheng likes girls with this kind of personality.
Lively and cute, yet full of personality.
"It would be great if more people could help me take care of my wife." Look how good Shangguan Ziqi is at speaking.
"Come, look at the wild fish I picked." Yue Yuying put down the backpack as if presenting a treasure and showed it to Yu Zheng.
"Chestnuts? This is the season to eat them. Chestnuts are hard. They're too delicious. Let's go back and make sugar-roasted chestnuts." Yu Yuzheng's saliva started to flow when she saw this delicious thing.
She had hardly any morning sickness during the three months of her pregnancy, which made her very satisfied.
I've been particularly fond of food in the past two days. Whenever I see food, especially my favorite, I can't help drooling.
"Can you fry?" Yue Yuying doesn't know how to do that.
“Well, I haven’t fried them, but I’ve seen them.” In my previous life, the sugar-roasted chestnuts sold on the streets were fried and sold right on the spot. You could eat them while they were still hot. They were so delicious.
Don’t think about it. The more you think about it, the sooner you can eat it.
"Yuanshan, take a look at the creek and see if there is any sand. We need coarse sand. Help us get a few kilograms of it back." Yu Zheng acted as he said and took action immediately.
Yuanshan emptied the basket that Yue Yuying was carrying and filled it with sand in the creek.
The stream is crystal clear.
There is a lot of coarse sand, which can be scooped from the bottom of the riverbed and is very clean.
The group returned to Zhuangzi together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came back, Aunt Yang was waiting for them at the gate of the main courtyard where they lived.
"Master, Madam, these are the eggs I cooked. I dyed them red for good luck and celebration. I sent them to Madam so she can eat them first." Aunt Yang smiled kindly.
He was holding a small basket with a dozen red eggs in it.
"Aunt Yang, why do you want me to eat it first? Is there any reason for that?" Yu Yuzheng was curious. She really didn't know who would care about this.
"Madam, you are the lifesaver of my daughter-in-law. This is to express my gratitude. You are also pregnant. Eating red eggs means good luck and success. Your childbirth will be very smooth in the future."
"Oh, so there is that meaning. Then I'll eat a few more." Yu Zheng took one and peeled it and ate it on the spot.
Aunt Yang asked everyone else to take a portion and gave the rest to Jiang Xi.
"Ye Zheng, are you pregnant?" Yue Yuying asked after Aunt Yang left.
"Um."
"Then I can't go up the mountain to play with you. The eldest master will definitely not agree. But it's autumn now, and there are a lot of things in the mountains." Yue Yuying was a little disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I don't fall and climb up the mountain slowly, there will be no problem. My belly isn't getting bigger now. Just don't do any strenuous exercise." When Yu Zheng heard that there was something in the mountain, there was no way she would let it go.
She has never had this kind of life experience in her past or present life, so she must try it.
"Ms. Yue, I will ask the guards to make two stretchers and carry us up the mountain." Shangguan Ziqi came up with an idea.
He wants it too.
"Yes, yes. This way there will be no problem. The mountains here are not high, and there are not many weeds." Yue Yuying clapped her hands in agreement.
These days she's been playing with just the two maids, and it's really boring.
After lunch, Yu Zheng began to direct the making of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
First remove the burrs on the outer layer, this job is for men.
Shangguan Ziqi actually wanted to experience it as well, so he picked up a small stone and threw it.
Once you hit it, the chestnut inside will be exposed.
The tan nipples are plump.
When everything was smashed, it weighed about ten pounds.
What can these three girls do?
"Miss, let's pick some more tomorrow. There are still a lot that haven't fallen from the trees." Xiaojuan, Yue Yuying's maid, said excitedly.
"Yes, miss, otherwise when the children in the village are free, there will be no share for us." Another maid, Lingdang, also encouraged.
It was the time for the autumn harvest, and all the children were put to work, so the newly-ripened wild gourds had not yet been harmed by the children on the farm.
"Okay, this thing can be stored for a few days without going bad." Yu Zheng agreed.
Of course, she had to get back more of her favorite things.
Move a big pot that is rarely used to the yard and stir-fry in the open air in the yard.
Three stones make up a stove, and it can be done quickly.
Several people worked together to cut a cross on the back of each chestnut with a knife.
First pour sand into the pot and fry it until hot, then add sugar. When it turns burnt yellow, pour the chestnuts into the pot and fry together.
Control the heat.
Yuanshan was responsible for waving the shovel, and Yu Zheng was in charge of directing.
After a while the fragrance wafted out.
"Wow, what a delicious fragrance." Yue Yuying couldn't help but exclaim.
Yu Zheng was more direct. He reached out and quickly scooped one out of the pot, flipping it back and forth with his left and right hands. His greedy look was so funny that it made people laugh and cry.
Seeing that she was not afraid of the heat, Shangguan Ziqi reached out and took the chestnut from her hand and put it on the armrest of the wheelchair to cool it down.
"So greedy? Wait a minute, these are not enough. We can pick more in the mountains tomorrow."
Yu Zheng blushed at what she said.
After it cools down for a while, peel it and put it in your mouth.
"Hmm, it's not quite cooked yet. It should be ready after frying it for a while longer." Yu Zheng tasted it and came to the conclusion.
Yue Yuying was really impressed by her.
"Yuanshan, pick one out for me too. I want to try it too." She couldn't help it either.
Yuanshan scooped out three with a shovel and placed them on the armrest of the wheelchair.
Shangguan Ziqi is not afraid of heat, take one to try.
It tastes really good. He has never eaten sugar-roasted chestnuts before.
How could a prince like him, a prince of a royal palace, buy such snacks?
Just as they were tasting chestnuts, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the yard.
A man's voice was also heard.
"What's that smell? It smells so good?"
