The worldly atmosphere is the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people. A bowl of tomato scrambled eggs with rice that he had not eaten for a long time made Yinzuo extremely satisfied. On the contrary, after coming back from a stroll, Defei was not in such a good mood when she saw that the tomato tree she had just obtained yesterday had been plucked bare by Yinzuo. If it were not for the professional qualities she had cultivated after living in the deep palace for many years, Defei would have chased Yinzuo with a feather duster and beaten him up.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, he's my biological child, I gave birth to him, I gave birth to him myself..."
At this time, Di Yinzuo had no idea that his mother had mobilized every cell in her body that could express a little love for him, and barely controlled herself from coming over with a feather duster to beat him. At this moment, she was stroking her round belly and imagining the future.
"Tomato scrambled eggs, tomato stewed beef brisket, tomato meat sauce noodles, tomato egg drop soup, cold tomato salad, and yes, ketchup. Now that I have ketchup, how far can my French fries be? Now that I have French fries, can I also get my fried chicken..."
Dexi stood beside Yinzuo and listened to him muttering, his mind full of tomatoes. He sighed helplessly, "It's still beautiful. Instead of wasting time, you might as well think about how to deal with the furious Concubine De when she sees the wolf peaches being plucked out."
Yinzuo's response was quite simple and crude. At lunch the next day, he asked someone to cook all the tomatoes picked yesterday, and sent two copies to his Khan Ama and his mother respectively.
When Defei saw the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stewed beef brisket with tomatoes brought by Yinzuo on the dinner table, she felt extremely complicated. She glared at the two dishes for a long time, exhaled deeply, and then slowly picked up the chopsticks.
Compared to Concubine De's complicated mood, Kangxi, who also received the dishes presented by his son, was in a much better mood. After Liang Jiugong checked and confirmed that there was no problem, he picked up the chopsticks to taste it and found that it tasted quite good.
"It tastes good. I didn't expect that this wolf peach is so bright in color and is actually non-toxic and edible. The dishes made from it are also delicious. Yinzuo is thoughtful. It's worth it that I love him so much..."
And what was Yinzuo, praised by his Khan Father for his thoughtfulness, doing at this moment? He was trying to trick Fourteen into cleaning his garden. Yes, our Sixth Prince had decided to plant tomatoes in his small garden at Shufengxuan, so that he could harvest them before the weather got cold. He would then have someone make tomato sauce and store it in the ice cellar. Then, in winter, he could have beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, noodles with tomato meat sauce, or even hot pot with tomato base, and he could eat it whenever he wanted.
This time he didn't use any high-sounding reasons to fool Fourteen, but directly used the most primitive inducement. His promise was also very simple. He just promised that after the tomatoes were ripe, he would make all the delicacies he had read out before for Fourteen to taste. Just this one sentence was enough to make the little foodie Fourteen rush forward.
"Sixth brother, you really are such a fool! You don't lack people to work here, so why do you have to say those things to lure Fourteen into working for you?"
Yinzuo rolled his eyes at Yinluo, who had asked the question, and then looked at Fourteen's unusually plump figure. Why else could it be? Of course, it was because Fourteen was overweight.
That's right, our little foodie Fourteenth Prince is now more like a qualified little fat boy than Yinzuo was back then. But both Defei and Kangxi think that being able to eat is a blessing, and not only do they not stop him but also indulge him. Yinzuo is afraid that if he lets it go on like this, it will be harmful to the health of the little Fourteenth Prince, so he will trick the Fourteenth Prince into coming to his side to do some work for him from time to time. Of course, this is not the only reason, and Yinzuo's bad taste is also involved. However, Yinzuo feels that his starting point is good, so the process is not important, so he doesn't feel guilty when he says it.
The garden is quite large. If Little Fourteen relies on himself to take care of it, Yinzuo will not be able to eat tomatoes this year. But Yin'er is right. He has no shortage of people to work. With everyone working together, the small garden was almost cleaned up in one afternoon.
In the evening, Yinzuo specially sent someone to the Imperial Household Department. In addition to getting tomato seeds from them, he also asked for the eunuch who was previously in charge of the pot of wolf peaches of Concubine De, and then sent two more eunuchs to assist him. From then on, the small garden had a place to stay.
"Okay, now we just have to wait for the tomatoes to ripen."
Yinzuo was looking forward to the tomatoes ripening and being harvested. God was quite kind to him and the weather was good almost throughout the summer. Although Yinzuo planted the tomatoes a little late, he still managed to harvest a crop before the weather got cold.
"I'm going back to the palace tomorrow. Pick all the ripe tomatoes. Leave the green ones alone. Have someone here watch them and pick them when they're ripe and send them back to me."
As the weather gets cooler, Kangxi's nearly half-year trip to Changchun Garden this year is coming to an end. However, this has little impact on Yinzuo. After all, he spends the same time everywhere. But it is different for Yinzhen, Yinzhi, Yin'er, and Yin?. Returning to the Forbidden City means that Yinzhen and Yinzhi will have to get up at 1:00 a.m. to attend the morning court, which also means that the Shangshufang school will start again. Yin'er, Yin? and others will have to go to class at 1:00 a.m. again.
"Ah, I still envy Sixth Brother. He doesn't have to go to court or attend classes in the Shangshufang. Not only can he sleep until he wakes up naturally every day, but he can also go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. The weather is getting colder now. The thought of getting out of bed at dawn in the middle of winter to go to the study makes me feel uncomfortable."
Who says it isn’t? Not only did Yinzhen feel uncomfortable thinking about getting up at 11:00 AM in winter to go to the study for classes, but Yinzhi and Yinzhi felt even more uncomfortable thinking about getting up at 11:00 AM to attend court. For a time, resentment was simply rising in Shufengxuan.
"I'm telling you guys to stop now. Look at all the negative energy you're carrying around. It's affecting the atmosphere of Shu Feng Xuan. Can't you be a little more positive?"
It is true that a kind word warms you through the winter, but a harsh word chills you through the summer. Yinzhi and the others were feeling a chill in their hearts at this moment. Are we getting up in the sunshine? So, you're not the one who has to get up before dawn in the middle of winter, right?
The next morning, Kangxi left Changchun Garden with his wives and children and headed towards the Forbidden City in a grand procession. The team did not move very fast along the way and did not return to the Forbidden City until almost noon. Yinzuo got up early in the morning and sat in a carriage for the whole morning. As soon as he returned to his own little piece of land in Nansanso, he could no longer maintain the demeanor he had forced himself to maintain in front of others all morning.
"Finally, we're home. I'm exhausted this morning. Dexi, hurry up and get someone to bring a recliner over. Go inside and see how they've cleaned up."
