Chapter 219 Miss Him Again
Manager Xue is dedicated and his subordinates are all doing their job well, so Su Yujin feels quite relieved.
The reason why I went to the orchard this time was, firstly, I have been busy since the Chinese New Year, and this time I had some free time to go to the orchard to relax and see the beautiful scenery of various fruit trees blooming in spring, and secondly, I picked some petals in full bloom and made some flower cakes and flower jam to eat slowly later.
The carriage set out in the morning and arrived at the orchard at noon.
Manager Xue was busy helping to settle everyone, while Shuilan and Mother Sun were hurriedly preparing lunch.
Shuilan and Mother Sun were slaves in the previous house. They were responsible for guarding and cleaning the house on weekdays. When Su Yujin bought this house, the seller gave them to her as a gift, saying that they would be more comfortable using the house after being familiar with it. If they were willing to use them, they could use them. If not, she could just do whatever she wanted.
Seeing that the two men were honest and hardworking, Su Yujin kept them and continued to let them do their previous work.
Mother Sun is good at cooking and making soups, and Shuilan is good at embroidery. All the small items in the house are made by them. Su Yujin thinks it will be quite convenient to put the two of them here when she comes to stay occasionally.
Su Yujin came suddenly and time was tight. There were only live chickens, some fresh pork and common vegetables at home, so Grandma Sun made home-cooked stewed chicken, cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, spinach stewed with tofu, and finally a portion of noodles to go with the stewed chicken soup.
Mrs. Sun’s cooking skills are not as good as those in restaurants, but it has a homely flavor, and the food is fresh and delicious.
Especially the noodles, which are chewy and smooth, and dipped in the soup of stewed chicken, the taste is very rich...
Su Yujin ate one and a half bowls at noon.
I ate two bowls of mugwort.
After dinner, Su Yujin prepared to take a short nap to relieve the fatigue of getting up early and riding in the carriage for the whole morning.
Shuilan has already made her bed.
The quilt was washed and put on again in the spring, and you can still smell the faint scent of soapberries on the quilt cover. The sheets and pillowcases are also new, and the pillowcase is embroidered with orchids.
"I have made a new pair of shoes for you. The soles are thicker than usual and the openings are deeper. They are suitable for you to wear when you walk around the garden. Your feet won't get tired." Shui Lan put the new shoes next to the bed. "When you wake up, you can wear them to walk around the garden. When the sun sets, the sky in the west is full of clouds, which makes the flowers look beautiful."
Seeing this, Su Yujin did not lie down immediately, but tried on the shoes first.
They are neither too big nor too small, just the right size. Just as Shuilan said, these shoes are more comfortable and less tiring to wear than ordinary embroidered shoes.
"The shoes are well made." Su Yujin nodded repeatedly, "How do you know the size of your feet?"
She had only been to the orchard once, when she bought the orchard. At that time, she only met Shuilan and Mother Sun in the house and talked for a cup of tea.
"Don't be afraid of laughing at me, young lady. I have been doing needlework for more than ten years, and I am especially good at making shoes. I can roughly draw out the size and shape of an average person's feet after just two glances." Shuilan said with a smile.
"I see. I guess practice makes perfect." Su Yujin instructed Ai Cao, "Give some of the things you brought to Shuilan, Mother Sun and others."
This was her first time meeting these servants as the new master of the orchard. She had just given them the reward money, and she also brought some Yongfu silk cotton cloth and some commonly used medicine packages and pills from Qinghe, and distributed them to a few capable people to show her kindness.
After all, if the master is kind, the servants will do their best in their work.
for example……
Second Master and her?
Why did I suddenly think of him again...
Su Yujin's cheeks turned red, and she quickly collected her thoughts, took off her shoes and got on the bed.
"Thank you, young lady." Shuilan bowed, thanked her, let down the curtain, and then retreated with Ai Cao.
Ai Cao shared the things he brought with everyone.
"This is silk-cotton cloth, which is finer and softer than cotton, more durable than silk, and has more unique colors and patterns. It was woven by the weaving workshop that the young lady and others set up in Qinghe. It is in great demand in the market, and the young lady wants to share it with everyone so that they can make some new clothes."
"This is the herbal medicine package that the girl makes on a daily basis. It contains ready-made medicines for treating colds. If you catch a cold in winter due to catching a cold, you can see obvious improvement after boiling it and eating it for two or three meals."
"And these are ointments for treating injuries. The girl said that people working in the orchard climb up and down every day, so they are most likely to get scratched. It would be convenient to prepare more of these things for future use."
"The most important thing is these mung bean crisps, which were made by the girl and I. The girl said she would bring some for everyone to taste..."
"Thank you, girl."
"Thank you for your concern..."
Manager Xue, Shuilan and Mother Sun accepted the gifts and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
The master they followed before was quite kind and treated them well, so when they heard that the orchard had been sold to someone else, they were a little worried, fearing that they would meet a mean and sarcastic master and that their lives would be difficult in the future.
But now it seems that Miss Su is kind-hearted and trusts them very much. She is not on guard or trying to cause trouble. She even treats them so kindly that she even thinks about the smallest details.
It is their blessing to meet such a master!
The three of them felt quite relieved, and thanked the Master profusely before going back to wait for orders.
Su Yujin slept for an hour. After getting up, she took Ai Cao and Shui Lan and took a small bamboo basket to the orchard to pick flower petals.
I plan to pick peach blossom petals today, preparing to dry some peach blossom tea and make some peach blossom cakes.
There are two kinds of peach trees planted here. One is the blood peach, which is characterized by blood-red flesh, juicy and sweet fruit. The other is the Qingzhou honey peach, which is native to Shandong. The flesh is crisp and sweet. It was originally a tribute to the imperial court. Later, it was introduced and planted in various places, and people can often eat it. Although it is not as delicious as the one in Shandong, it is also a top-quality product.
The peach trees are well taken care of. At this time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, with many branches and dense flowers. Picking some peach blossoms can help to sort out the flowers so that the peach trees can bear fruit smoothly and the fruits can be bigger.
All three of them were dexterous and nimble, and apart from Su Yujin's beautiful appearance and skin as white as snow, Ai Cao and Shui Lan were also pretty. The scene of these three people picking flowers under the peach tree with their slender hands was simply a beautiful picture.
So much so that when Qin Shangzhi glanced at this scene, he was so stunned that he didn't even move his eyeballs.
"Where are you from? It's so rude to stare at another girl like that!" Ai Cao shouted after noticing Qin Shangzhi.
Su Yujin: I always want to sleep recently
He Yanxiu: I can change my name to Sleeping...
