Chapter 239: Madam, are you going too?
When Qin Zhizhi came back from Qin's house, Gu Jinghuai was waiting for her while reading a book.
"Madam is back. Thank you for your hard work today!"
Seeing Qin Zhizhi coming in, Gu Jinghuai put down the book and went to greet her. He felt sorry for his wife's daily efforts and respected her choice even more.
"I was teaching my mother how to make kimchi today, so I came back a little late!"
Qin Zhizhi knew at a glance that Gu Jinghuai had already washed up and was waiting for her.
"Is this a new way of eating it that my wife has thought of?" Gu Jinghuai asked curiously.
"I guess so. I'll ask Grandma and the others to make some more tomorrow. When it's ready, I'll bring it back for everyone to try."
Qin Zhizhi thought that there were many people in the family, so she decided to make some more tomorrow and let her mother practice so that they could share the food.
"That will be hard for Grandma and the others."
"It doesn't matter. Mommy needs to practice anyway!"
"What do you say now?"
"I plan to have Mom and Dad go back to Qinjia Village to teach the villagers how to make kimchi, and also make some sausages and bring them back."
"Then my lady, are you going this time too?"
Gu Jinghuai asked cautiously, fearing that Qin Zhizhi would also run to Qinjia Village. Now he was officially on duty and had no way to ask for leave at will.
"Of course...I'm not going. I might have to stay longer this time, so I won't go. I'm assured that Mom is here."
Qin Zhizhi was reluctant to be separated from Gu Jinghuai for so long, so she chose to stay in Beijing this year.
"My wife is so kind. Otherwise, I can't imagine the days without her."
"Even though I'm not going, I still need to get the job done. I'd like to borrow your husband's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
Qin Zhizhi plans to write down the recipe and bring it to her mother and father tomorrow.
"I am willing to do it for you, my wife!"
Gu Jinghuai knew Qin Zhizhi well. His wife didn't like to write, so he always did it for her.
"Thank you for your hard work, husband!"
"I am willing to do this. Let's go to the study!"
Qin Zhizhi nodded, and Gu Jinghuai took her and went to the study together.
In the study, Qin Zhizhi helped Gu Jinghuai grind, and then Qin Zhizhi read and Gu Jinghuai wrote, and several recipes were quickly completed.
Thinking of kimchi, Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan exchanged two recipes, one ordinary and one spicy.
Ask Gu Jinghuai to write it down as well. As long as you follow this ratio, it won’t taste bad.
Qin Zhizhi also wrote a letter to the village head, explaining some things.
Gu Jinghuai wrote the whole thing for Qin Zhizhi, and Gu Jinghuai wrote it seriously while Qin Zhizhi was happy reading it.
After everything was written and while waiting for the ink to dry, Qin Zhizhi looked at her husband's handwriting, which was as powerful as carving with a knife!
Qin Zhizhi nodded with satisfaction. As expected, she was the top scorer in the imperial examination. That was amazing!
Seeing Qin Zhizhi's satisfied expression, Gu Jinghuai smiled and asked, "I wrote this for you, are you satisfied?"
"Of course, my husband is the number one scholar chosen by the emperor. If I am still not satisfied, wouldn't that be questioning the emperor?"
Qin Zhizhi teased Gu Jinghuai with a smile.
"As a husband, I feel honored to receive your praise."
Gu Jinghuai responded to Qin Zhizhi while sorting out the recipes and letters he had just written and which had dried up.
Qin Zhizhi was not idle either, helping Gu Jinghuai to tidy up. After finishing, Qin Zhizhi took these things directly to the bedroom.
This way, I don’t have to go to the study to get it tomorrow morning. I can just take it with me when I return to the Qin family.
The next day, after Gu Jinghuai went to court, Qin Zhizhi slept until she woke up naturally. As the couple were so affectionate last night, they naturally went to bed very late.
Qin Zhizhi lay in bed, with no intention of getting up at all.
Qin Zhizhi has never been someone who would let herself be wronged, so she directly contacted Wanwan to discuss the exchange of kimchi ingredients.
"Master, it's so late, why don't you get up?"
"Excuse me, please tell me how to exchange these things."
"Master, there's no place to put it now. Why not wait until you wake up and exchange it directly for you at your mother's house?"
"Okay then, go play first, I'll sleep a little longer."
Qin Zhizhi sent Wanwan away and prepared to lie down for a while.
Wanwan is too tired to complain. Judging from the master's condition, she seemed to have had a fooling around with her husband last night. Just let her sleep. It is an exchange system and has no control over emotional matters.
Qin Zhizhi took another nap and woke up around noon. She ate something and went straight to Qin's house.
Qin He went to the farm early in the morning to do what his daughter asked him to do.
After trying the kimchi this morning, Mrs. Qin and her daughter-in-law liked the taste very much, although it was not yet the time Qin Zhizhi had mentioned.
Thinking that there were many people in the family, they made some more so that they could give some to the Gu family later.
When Qin Zhizhi came, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were making kimchi in the kitchen.
"I guessed you must be here!" Qin Zhizhi walked into the kitchen with a smile.
"Zhizhi is here. The kimchi you made is so delicious that we made some more."
Seeing her granddaughter's joy, Mrs. Qin explained why they had made kimchi again.
"Grandma, make me a special can of spicy food."
Qin Zhizhi loves spicy food. Seeing that Qin Pozi and the others were about to reach the final step, she asked for a can of extra spicy food.
"Okay, grandma will make it for you!"
Since my granddaughter wants it, it must be arranged. Mrs. Qin personally made a pot of spicy food for her granddaughter.
Qin Zhizhi saw that there was still some kimchi left in the bowl next to her. It should be the kimchi that she picked out for tasting today. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and prepared to taste it.
When you bite the kimchi, you will feel a distinct crisp sound and a refreshing taste. The tip of your tongue tastes warm and spicy, which is very appetizing. Qin Zhizhi likes to eat it with rice.
"Not bad. It will taste even better if it's left for a few days."
Qin Zhizhi nodded with satisfaction. This was the taste. She couldn't help but take some more. Seeing her greedy expression, Zhang smiled helplessly.
Although my daughter is married, she is still spoiled like a child.
"If you like, come eat at home at noon and I'll cut some more for you."
Seeing that her daughter liked it, Zhang invited her to stay for dinner.
There wasn't much left in the bowl to begin with, so Qin Zhizhi finished it all.
"Okay!" Qin Zhizhi licked her lips with some reluctance.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly finished their work, and then followed Qin Zhizhi to her yard. The next step was to exchange the ingredients for the kimchi.
At lunch, Qin Zhizhi asked for spicy cabbage and rice cake soup, and Mrs. Qin readily agreed.
Because the homemade kimchi was not ready yet and was not perfect, Qin Zhizhi directly exchanged some with Wanwan and also exchanged some rice cakes.
Qin Zhizhi cooked the meal herself and received unanimous praise from several people.
"Zhizhi, I think this spicy cabbage soup can be given to Shopkeeper Wang. It's sour and spicy and very appetizing, especially suitable for this season."
Zhang and her daughter have similar tastes, and she also likes this spicy cabbage and rice cake soup very much.
People in Qinjia Village make some rice cakes every year to eat during the Chinese New Year.
"That also requires waiting for my mother to bring the people from Qinjia Village to make the kimchi!"
"Then mother will give this dish to Shopkeeper Wang."
