Chapter 215 Pastoral Summer
When Shen Yueyao thought about this, she smiled with her eyebrows curved and her eyes were shining brightly.
Even Su Daya was excited when she heard this.
Shen Yueyao picked one first, put it in her mouth and ate it, "Hmm, it's really sweet."
After making sure it was okay to eat, Shen Yueyao picked a few and handed them to Su Daya, saying, "Eat it with confidence, there will be no problem."
Although the ancient times did not have as abundant materials and advanced technology as the technological age, the environment was good and there was no pollution. Food grew naturally and there were no pesticides.
There is no artificial ripening agent to force the fruit to ripen, so you can eat it with confidence.
It is completely pure green food and you can eat it with confidence.
Su Daya was stunned when she saw the red fruits in her hand.
She found it incredible that there was such a thing on the mountain. The color looked very tempting and made people very appetizing.
Su Daya picked it up and put one in her mouth. After eating it, she was stunned.
"Aunt, this is delicious and sweet. I've never eaten such sweet fruit before."
When the Su family was exiled on the road, the conditions were difficult. At that time, they accidentally found wild fruits in the mountains, but they tasted astringent when they were picked and eaten. They were not as sweet as these strawberries.
“It’s so delicious. So delicious.”
"Aunt, I've never eaten such delicious fruit before when I was in the Marquis' Mansion."
Before the Su family was exiled, they were still a noble family. Whenever there was any fresh fruit in the capital, the shoppers in the marquis's mansion would go and buy it for them to eat.
She had eaten many wild fruits when she was a child, but none of them were as sweet as strawberries.
Of course, the grapes tributed by foreign countries are also delicious.
But the amount of grapes that foreign countries paid as tribute was limited, and it was considered very good for the emperor to give each family a small basket.
She can eat half a skewer every time.
But she never imagined that there would be such delicious wild fruits in the mountains.
Looking at Su Daya's appearance, Shen Yueyao understood that there were also few fruits in this era.
Normally, you can eat watermelon to cool down in the summer, but there is no watermelon here.
She went around town and asked some vendors, but none of them knew anything about watermelon.
Anyway, when the weather is hot, Shen Yueyao really wants to eat watermelon.
But there is no way without watermelon.
If the space could produce watermelon seeds, she could also plant them.
However, since the last time the space gave seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, leeks, etc., nothing has suddenly appeared in the space again.
There were only some things she planted in the space fields.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Su Daya shook her head and said, "Aunt San, I can't eat that much. Pick some and take it back for my brothers Dabao and Erbao."
Su Daya now likes Dabao and Erbao very much.
She always remembered that when she came back and woke up from her coma, her eldest and second children were by her bedside, comforting and protecting her.
At that moment, she suddenly realized the importance of family affection.
Later, Su Daya naturally wanted to share the good food with everyone else, and she would rather eat less herself.
Shen Yueyao felt a little distressed when she saw Su Daya's appearance.
She is sensible now, but it also makes people feel distressed.
"It's okay. If you like it, eat as much as you want. Take these strawberries back with you. We can also grow them ourselves. Then you can eat as much as you want."
Even so, Su Daya didn't eat much.
She put the basket on the ground and helped Shen Yueyao pick the fruits.
Soon, they had picked two large baskets.
Of course, there were many more that were put into the space by Shen Yueyao.
This way she can get strawberry seeds and plant strawberries in the space.
This way their family can eat strawberries often.
If you have space, you can eat it all year round.
Of course, the strawberries grown in the fields outside can be sold on the market.
The two returned with a full load of stuff.
It was already evening when they returned to the village from the mountain.
It is summer now, the weather is hot and the daytime is long.
Even in the evening, the sky is still bright.
The village is very lively at this time. During the day, the elderly and children in the village feel too hot and most of them stay at home. Some of them will stay under the big trees to cool off.
But in the evening, when the weather is not so hot, the elderly will bring their children out to enjoy the cool air and chat.
The children were running around, laughing and talking happily.
The ducks and geese in the river also walked together on the village road, each returning home.
Shen Yueyao found it quite strange to see the ducks walking in a line, swaying from side to side.
The dogs raised by the villagers would occasionally bark once or twice, and the old people under the big tree would fan themselves gently with palm-leaf fans while talking.
When it was time to get off work, the people in the workshop all came out and went home in groups of three or four.
The people of Liuhe Village went straight home.
Some people from other villages took ox carts while others walked back.
Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles.
Wisps of smoke also rose above the village, bringing with them a pastoral scene.
Every time she saw such a scene, Shen Yueyao's heart would become very calm.
She really likes this slow pace, which makes people feel relaxed.
She knew that after dinner, every household would come out to enjoy the cool air if they had nothing to do, and neighbors would sit together on stools and chat.
There were no fans, air conditioners or televisions at this time.
In the summer, everyone’s form of entertainment is to get together and chat after dinner.
Even Mrs. Meng liked to sit and talk with everyone after dinner.
Occasionally, Shen Yueyao would go out to enjoy the cool air once or twice, and found that everyone had many stories to tell.
They would tell stories they heard and things they saw when they were young at their mother's house.
Especially the elderly have many stories.
The children listened out of curiosity and could not sit still, so they stood up to play and catch fireflies.
…
When Shen Yueyao and Su Daya returned home, Madam Meng and Su Erya also brought Dabao and Erbao home.
The two of them drew some well water to wash their faces to cool down a bit, and then prepared to cook dinner.
Su Erya fanned her face with her hands and said, "Grandma, the weather is really getting hotter and hotter. I don't even feel like eating dinner anymore."
"You have to eat even if you don't want to. Your Third Aunt said that eating every day replenishes your nutrition so that you will have energy to study and work."
Anyway, Madam Meng firmly believed in Shen Yueyao's words.
Su Erya said, "But grandma, what are you going to do at night? If you light a fire, the hot food will be too hot."
Old Madam Meng actually didn't know what to do.
"How about drinking it with kudzu powder?"
However, after eating kudzu powder so many times, they no longer have much appetite.
When Madam Meng and Su Erya were discussing what to eat, Shen Yueyao and Su Daya just came back.
Shen Yueyao looked at them and said with a smile: "Mother, Erya, don't worry. Auntie San will make you some cold noodles tonight."
"After eating the cold noodles, you can also eat popsicles. I guarantee you won't feel hot after eating them."
You can eat cold noodles in summer.
However, people at that time did not know how to make Liangpi. Shen Yueyao went around the town and looked around, but did not find anyone making Liangpi.
However, noodle shops do serve cold noodles.
But Shen Yueyao still thinks that the cold noodles taste refreshing and can relieve the summer heat.
