Chapter 183: Delivering Food
Wait a little longer, and soon, everyone will understand what the grain price in the Great Yong Dynasty is like.
Three times?
Too cheap for everyone.
"Wow wow wow..."
In the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, Xiao Miluo stuck to Zhu Xuntao's side, exclaiming in amazement,
"Sister-in-law, we succeeded, we really succeeded, sister-in-law, you are so amazing, sister-in-law, how come you can do everything?"
"Sister-in-law, is there anything in this world that you can't do?"
Xiao Miluo seemed to have turned into a "sister-in-law" repeater, and the "sister-in-law" attack that filled the screen made Zhu Xuntao dizzy.
Zhu Xuntao stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Miluo's lips,
"Tsk, the weather is dry in winter, be careful not to hurt your throat."
Xiao Miluo's voice was almost as loud as a loudspeaker.
By the way, she should think of a way to make a loudspeaker later, otherwise it would be too strenuous to speak in some occasions, and it would also hurt her throat!
"Vegetables, all green vegetables, vegetables, vegetables."
Xiao Chenliang's three bodies jumped around at Zhu Xuntao's feet, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at the green vegetables. In
the capital city entering the cold winter, there is no shortage of food, but there is a particular shortage of vegetables.
When Zhu Xuntao was in the Zhu Mansion, no one cared about her, and she had to take care of herself.
Zhu Xuntao didn't have the habit of trying to please someone who didn't like her.
She knew that the people in the Zhu Mansion would also lack vegetables in winter. She would rather
send the vegetables she grew to other places, or let Uncle Qian exchange them for silver at a high price, but she would never let the people in the Zhu Mansion get away with it.
Anyway, everyone was looking out for their own interests, so she did it without feeling guilty.
That's why, until today, no one in the Zhu Family knew that
throughout the winter, even the nobles in the palace lacked fresh vegetables, but Zhu Xuntao never lacked.
On weekdays, the little fat boy Xiao Chenliang hated vegetables the most and liked to eat meat.
But in winter, it was all meat, no vegetables, which made the little fat boy afraid of it.
Look, after the little fat boy saw the fresh green vegetables, his chin was wet with saliva.
Zhu Xuntao patiently took out a handkerchief to wipe the little fat boy's wet chin:
"Auntie has planted a lot. How about giving Chenliang as much as he likes to eat?"
[How can a child not eat vegetables? Green vegetables and radishes are nutritious. ]
[Only with a balanced nutrition can the little fat boy grow tall and strong in the future, as handsome as his father. ]
Hearing Zhu Xuntao's voice, Xiao Miluo pinched the little fat boy's chubby face with envy and hatred.
Sister-in-law really loves this little meatball and takes him with her in everything.
Humph, she will work hard.
One day, she will surpass the little meatball and become the first in sister-in-law's heart.
Xiao Chenliang stretched out his little arms, tightly wrapped around Zhu Xuntao's neck, and said to Zhu Xuntao affectionately:
"Mom is so good to me, I love you the most."
After saying that, Xiao Chenliang left two sweet kisses on Zhu Xuntao's face.
"Good boy."
Zhu Xuntao kissed the little fat boy back, liking the little fat boy's look very much.
Zhu Xuntao, who grew up in an orphanage, has been in contact with children the most.
When she was young, the older children took care of her.
When she grew up, she took care of the younger children.
For such a long time, Zhu Xuntao has never taken care of a child who is more obedient than Xiao Chenliang.
If Xiao Chenliang was a little naughty, Zhu Xuntao would have stayed away from him.
"Qiuyue, these green vegetables are almost grown, they have all been picked, it's time to give them away, don't be reluctant."
Zhu Xuntao's ability made Xiao Miluo scream in amazement, but Qiuyue was different.
Qiuyue, who had always been very calm, just raised her chin to the sky:
"Crown Princess, the chives you planted are almost grown, do you want to cut some off and make your favorite chive dumplings?"
Small green vegetables are nothing, the Crown Princess can grow a lot of vegetables in the winter.
Qiuyue said that she has always been worried about not having meat to eat, but never worried about not having vegetables to eat!
"Okay."
Zhu Xuntao nodded, thinking about the chive dumplings.
She touched Xiao Chenliang's face:
"Chenliang, today you and your aunt will have dinner with grandma, okay?"
"Okay..."
Xiao Chenliang's "Okay" was so long and cute that Zhu Xuntao's ears were itchy.
"Sister-in-law, there's me, there's me, too. I want to have dinner with grandma too."
Xiao Miluo put her chin on Zhu Xuntao's shoulder pitifully and asked Zhu Xuntao for food.
She had never eaten that thing called leek box.
Since it was what sister-in-law liked to eat, it must be very delicious.
"Okay."
Zhu Xuntao did not refuse,
"Grandma will be happy if you are willing to go."
After marrying Xiao Jingzhan, many things became convenient for Zhu Xuntao, especially visiting Old Madam Sheng.
Even if it snowed, Zhu Xuntao would visit Old Madam Sheng every day and eat at least one meal with her every day.
Old Madam Sheng was old and could not stand the noise, so she moved to a remote courtyard to be quiet.
But the quietness was too much and the old lady felt lonely.
Zhu Xuntao, who knew Old Madam Sheng's mood, would find a time every day to "disturb" Old Madam Sheng's leisure.
After Zhu Xuntao finished the distribution, the green and tender fresh vegetables were delivered to the various courtyards of Yongjing Marquis's Mansion one by one, without missing a single one.
Until half of the cart of vegetables was delivered to the palace gate, the guard stopped the car and asked,
"Who is coming?"
The driver was a guard of the Yongjing Marquis's mansion. After introducing himself, the guard said,
"Recently, my prince's wife has grown a batch of fresh vegetables. I want to present them to the emperor and the empress to relieve their boredom."
When he said this, the guard's expression was no less restrained than Qiuyue's, and the pride in his eyes was obvious.
"What, vegetables, and fresh ones?!"
Obviously, it was just the most sparse and normal, even cheap things in the past,
but at a certain time, it became rare.
When the gatekeeper heard that the delivery was such a rare thing, his tone was different.
He lifted the curtain and took a look. A fresh smell of green vegetables hit his face, which was very pleasant.
In fact, green vegetables usually have a bit of muddy smell.
But who can stop the green in winter? The muddy smell becomes fragrant under the background of green vegetables.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is thoughtful and always thinks about the Emperor and the Empress. I will order someone to send them to the kitchen now. I guarantee that the Emperor and the Empress will be able to feel the Crown Prince's Consort's sincerity tonight."
"The gift is small but the sentiment is great.
I hope the nobles in the palace don't mind it." The guard was too humble when he said this.
Vegetables in winter are not cheap. This gift is not only expensive, but the important thing is that it can be sent to the hearts of the nobles.
Once winter comes, due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, the nobles in the palace have a poor appetite and are always angry, which makes the people in the kitchen worried every day.
