Chapter 324: Fields (Part 2)
Yun Luoxiao also understood that Jiang Zhiluo's arrival actually helped her a lot.
He also helped him solve a serious problem, Gongsun Wu.
Without Gongsun Wu, the Southern Emperor was like losing an arm.
Yun Luoxiao can handle everything here now.
In the next two days, in addition to accompanying Qiao Mengmeng, Jiang Zhiluo packed up and prepared some medicinal herbs.
Jiang Zhiluo also wrote letters and bought some things and sent them to Donghe Village and Xingshan Village.
The weather is getting colder and the New Year will be here soon.
When the Chinese New Year comes, both Old Lady Cui, Cui Qingci, and her parents, brothers and sisters in Xingshan Village have to buy a lot of things.
Although they have a wide variety of things over there, they don't have some of the specialties of Jiangzhou.
Even if they are sold, some things are expensive.
So Jiang Zhiluo bought some things.
Of course, the money Jiang Zhiluo has is also earned by her here.
She also bought some fabrics from Jiangzhou.
Those fabrics are very beautiful. If my family uses them to make clothes, they will definitely look great.
Before leaving, Jiang Zhiluo also went to Honglin Village to visit Aunt Song and her family.
When Jiang Zhiluo went there, Aunt Song had almost recovered. She would cough occasionally, but it didn't affect her work, and she had regained her strength.
Nanny Song and her family were extremely happy to see Jiang Zhiluo.
"Meet the lady!"
Everyone quickly saluted Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo quickly helped them up and said, "Aunt Song, Uncle Song, there's no need to be so polite."
"I'm not a Miss Wei now."
Aunt Song said seriously, "To us, you are still our honored master, Miss."
Even though the Wei family no longer exists, it exists in their hearts.
They will never forget the kindness the lady has shown them.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't argue with Aunt Song about these things. Instead, she looked at her and said, "Aunt Song, are you feeling better?"
Aunt Song looked at Jiang Zhiluo gratefully and said, "I'm much better now, thanks to the food you brought me. I feel much better after eating it."
None of Aunt Song's family expected that she would recover so quickly.
Jiang Zhiluo also brought some meat, snacks and candy when she came this time.
Aunt Song and the others were flattered.
"Miss, we are all very happy that you can come. You don't need to bring so many things."
Things are different now than before. They think the young lady must be very hard-working, so how could they be willing to take the things she brought.
Seeing the young lady wearing simple clothes, they felt a little distressed.
Back then, the young lady’s clothes and hair accessories were extremely exquisite.
The old lady and the third lady tried their best to give good things to the young lady.
She is the darling of the entire Wei family.
Even the young men of the Wei family would bring back anything interesting they saw for the Sixth Miss when they went out.
It can be said that in the entire capital, their daughter is the only girl who is favored by the entire family.
Many girls in Beijing envy the young lady.
Of course, it is also because they are good ladies and deserve to be treated well.
Even they thought the young lady was very nice and never treated them as servants.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Just take it if I give it to you. It won't cost much."
"I made these snacks myself, you can have a taste."
"These candies are for Zhuzhu."
Jiang Zhiluo knew that Cuizhu and Song Bin’s daughter was called Zhuzhu.
Looking at the well-behaved little girl, Jiang Zhiluo smiled.
Nanny Song hurriedly and enthusiastically called Jiang Zhiluo into the house to sit down.
"Miss, please don't leave at noon this time. You must stay for dinner, otherwise we will feel really bad."
"Last time, Miss could say that I was not in good health and was afraid of trouble. Now I am well again and can cook for you."
"I remember that my daughter loved eating the wontons I made when she was little."
Aunt Song is very good at making wontons, and the wontons she makes are also very delicious.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't refuse this time."
Song Zhengde also went into the house to help Nanny Song.
Aunt Song's family is very harmonious and friendly.
If there is anything, everyone helps together.
Song Bin plans to take Zhu Zhu to the mountains to pick mushrooms.
Cuizhu stayed at home with Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Cuizhu, I also want to go to your mountain to take a look. Let's go together!"
"Ah, miss, why don't you sit down at home and rest for a while? You must be tired from going up the mountain!"
"It's okay, I'll just go check and see if there's any fresh food!"
No one knows when Jiang Zhiluo will return from her trip to southern Xinjiang this time.
She originally planned to settle Aunt Song and her family well.
She also thought about opening a shop in Jiangzhou. After opening the shop, she would feel at ease to leave it to Nanny Song and the others to take care of it.
By then, Aunt Song and her family will be able to get wages and bonuses, and have enough food to eat.
It’s not that poor.
Although she had only been there twice, Jiang Zhiluo could tell that Nanny Song's family lived in poverty. The clothes they wore were patched, and even Zhuzhu looked very thin.
You can tell at first glance that he is malnourished.
So Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about how to make some money for Aunt Song and her family, so that at least the family could have enough to eat.
Originally she wanted to teach how to stew pork.
Pig offal is cheap and low in cost, and can be sold as long as it is prepared well.
But she found that there were people selling braised pork offal in Jiangzhou City, and the price of pork offal in the market was not low.
So she decided to find a way to make food at zero cost.
Cuizhu said, "The mountains here aren't very big. People usually come to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and fruits. There aren't many wild fruits, mostly wild vegetables."
"But after the rain, there are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. We can go back and make soup."
When walking up the mountain, you will pass by a field, most of which are also planted with vegetables.
Cuizhu saw Jiang Zhiluo looking over there and explained, "Those are the villagers' fields. They've been divided up. In the spring, everyone grows rice, corn, peanuts and other crops. After the grain is harvested, they plant some vegetables. In the winter, the vegetables are radishes, cabbages and mustard greens."
When Jiang Zhiluo heard the word mustard greens, she thought she could teach Aunt Song and the others how to pickle sauerkraut.
However, if you pickle sauerkraut, it is to be used with cooking.
They may not be able to sell them immediately after pickling them, but it will be convenient for them to eat.
Many people also use mustard greens to pickle small vegetables.
So Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and decided that it was not a good idea.
And I don’t know if the people here are used to eating sauerkraut.
“Are there fields over there too?”
Jiang Zhiluo pointed at the land at the foot of the mountain.
Cuizhu explained, "That area was originally wasteland, overgrown with weeds. The villagers remembered the notice posted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and every household worked hard to reclaim the wasteland. A lot of the abandoned land has now been reclaimed."
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that these didn't look like fields. They were actually well maintained.
It seems that Yun Luoxiao’s decree is a good one, as it can turn wasteland into farmland.
The fields that everyone reclaims become everyone's own land.
After entering the mountain, Jiang Zhiluo also found some mushrooms.
Just as she was about to pick them, Cuizhu stopped her and said, "Miss, these mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten."
"This is the experience gained by the villagers!"
