Chapter 172 Marry Me Soon
The peanuts just dug out from the ground, with the shells and red skins removed, the white peanut kernels are tender and juicy. When you put them in your mouth and chew them, the juice will overflow. The taste is like the green-skinned tender walnuts just picked from the trees in June and July, which is extremely delicious.
More busy eating roasted sweet potatoes.
There is no need to wash or peel the sweet potatoes that have just been dug out of the field. Just dig a hole on the spot, put some firewood on the hole, or bury the sweet potatoes in the hole to steam until cooked, or just roast them with a stick...
No matter which method is used to make it, it tastes soft, sweet and has a long aftertaste.
There are also roasted soybeans, roasted corn, and radishes that are pulled out of the ground and eaten directly after peeling the skin...
Su Yujin was very satisfied with the meal. She even took a lot of peanuts, sweet potatoes, radishes, mustard greens, etc. when she went back. Along the way, she was thinking about what to eat when she returned.
In addition to eating these fresh and tender peanuts raw, you can also peel them, remove the red skin, and mix them with chrysanthemum or dried shepherd's purse after soaking to make a cold dish, or simply use a small stone mill to grind them into a sticky paste, boil them, and add some sugar to make peanut dew, which is also good to eat for breakfast.
You can make some crispy pickles with water radish, which are great with rice or other dishes.
Grate the mustard greens into shreds, dry them in the sun, and pickle them into dry shreds. Seal them in a jar. When you want to eat them, take out some and mix them with chopped green onions, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, etc. to make a cold dish. It tastes very refreshing. If you seal it in a jar, you can keep it for the whole winter, and it will be more flavorful when you eat it in the spring of the following year.
As for the sweet potato...
There are so many ways to eat it!
They can be baked, steamed, cooked into porridge, sliced and deep-fried, cut into small pieces and made into sweet buns, mashed into sweet potato cakes...
Su Yujin was thinking all the way and drooling all the way.
So when the carriage just arrived at the door of the house, Su Yujin hurriedly called Mother Liu to come and move things, and asked her to wash the sweet potatoes first and put some in the rice porridge to be cooked in the evening.
Red dates, sweet potatoes and rice porridge...is the most delicious porridge!
No doubt about it!
Mother Liu opened the courtyard door and pointed to the house, "Miss, there are guests."
Are there guests coming?
Who is the guest who came at this time? Looking at Mother Liu's slightly strange expression, combined with the coincidence that she would always see certain people when she came back from the farm, the guest who came was most likely...
Before Su Yujin could speak, a figure as red as a lotus had already rushed to Su Yujin, "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
It was Lu Wenjing indeed!
This coincidence always happens! "Miss Lu." Su Yujin showed a professional fake smile on her face. When she saw a beautiful, well-maintained, and noble woman in her early thirties next to Lu Wenjing, she asked in surprise, "Who is this..."
Lu Wenjing introduced excitedly, "It's me..."
"Aunt!" Lu interrupted.
"Yes, yes, yes, she is my aunt." Lu Wenjing agreed with a smile.
If it's aunt, then she should be Lu Wenjing's mother's relative.
The other party did not introduce himself in detail, so Su Yujin just bowed to Lu and said, "Greetings, Madam."
"Miss Su is polite." The smile on Lu's face was quite kind. "I heard from Jing'er that Miss Su is an excellent cook. It happened that Jing'er said she wanted to come to Miss Su to feast on her food, so I begged her to take me along to taste it."
"Excuse me Miss Su."
"You are too polite, Madam." Su Yujin bowed again. "I happened to go to the farm today and came back a little late. I kept Madam and Miss Lu waiting for a long time. Please wait for a moment. I will prepare dinner right away."
"Thank you, Miss Su." Mrs. Lu bowed slightly, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
Ai Cao was asked to entertain Lu Wenjing and the others, while Su Yujin and Mother Liu went into the kitchen to get busy.
Sipping the delicious osmanthus tea in the cup and tasting the exquisite snacks on the plate, Lu couldn't help but nodded slightly, "The craftsmanship is really good."
Lu Wenjing, however, had no intention of tasting the tea and snacks. While Ai Cao was away, she asked Lu in surprise, "Why does my aunt call herself my aunt?"
My aunt is my cousin's mother, and my cousin is the master of Su Yujin's concubine, which means that my aunt is also Su Yujin's master. There is no need to hide anything when the master comes to have a meal.
"You know your cousin's temper. If he knew that I was doing this in private, he would think that I was interfering in his private affairs and would be angry with me." Lu sighed helplessly.
That's right. My cousin has always had his own ideas and he doesn't like to share them with others. He gets angry if others ask him too many questions. He's the kind of person who doesn't say it on his face, but you can tell he's angry just by looking at him, and you can't help but feel scared in your heart.
Sure enough, she wasn't the only one who was afraid of her cousin...
Lu Wenjing felt relieved, but she blinked her eyes and looked gossipy. "Auntie seems to be very cautious. Could it be that she came here today not just to enjoy the food?"
Although Mrs. Lu begged to take her along because of the delicious food, Lu Wenjing always felt that adults were not as boring as she was.
"Of course." Mrs. Lu did not hide it from Lu Wenjing, "Your cousin is so old and still doesn't know how to get married. Now that he finally finds someone he likes, he still hasn't told his family. I wonder if he's afraid that his family won't agree."
"So I thought, why don't I just come and take a look? If she is a law-abiding person and is devoted to your cousin, I will help your cousin and bring her to the mansion as soon as possible, so that your cousin won't have to worry about this place all day and run back and forth."
This is not only her idea, but also Madam He's idea.
"Yeah." Lu Wenjing nodded in agreement.
If Su Yujin could have entered the He family earlier, given her relationship with the He family, it would have been much more convenient and easier for her to visit them often to ask for favors than coming to Qinghe.
Then, why don't she say more about Su Yujin's advantages so that she can enter the He family earlier?
Lu Wenjing cleared her throat. "Speaking of which, this Miss Su is indeed quite good. Not only is she a good cook and doctor, she seems to be good at business as well. She has opened two shops and bought a farm. She manages everything very well and makes quite a lot of money."
"And in the previous few visits, she was very polite and knew when to act. She never acted like a spoiled child in front of my cousin. Her behavior was very steady and generous. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a lady from a wealthy family."
"Yes, yes, yes. Speaking of which, Miss Su never seemed to ask for any status from my cousin, and never caused my cousin any trouble because of this matter. It can be seen that she cares about my cousin very much."
"In short, I think if my cousin marries Miss Su, then you don't have to worry about anything and just wait to enjoy your life."
The child finally has no fever... Phew, I hope he can recover as soon as possible, and I hope everyone can be safe~ Thank you all for your understanding and support for the author, thank you very much
