Chapter 10 The magical effect of the spring water
Su Zhi just took a casual glance and was attracted by the touch of green on the ground. She blinked and looked at the juicy cabbage in disbelief. Is this still the wilted cabbage just now?
Looking at the other dozen or so cabbages, they were all white and green, and looked vibrant and growing. The yellow leaves were gone, and they were so tender that they seemed to be able to squeeze out water.
"What's going on..."
Su Zhi was sure that what she saw was not an illusion. She reacted quickly. After all, she had seen the spring water lotus that appeared out of nothing. She could accept that the cabbage suddenly turned bad. And she immediately realized that it was because of the spring water!
Could it be that this spring water has no effect on humans but works on plants? !
Su Zhi thought to herself, squatting on the ground, and touched a cabbage with her hand. She felt that the leaves seemed to be moist and full of vitality. She flicked the edge of the leaf, and the leaf trembled twice and returned to its original position. It was really pleasing to look at. Not only that, each cabbage seemed to have grown a little, although it was not very obvious, but it had indeed grown.
Su Zhi raised the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but feel bubbles of joy in her heart. She thought, why would God give her such an ordinary spring water? Isn't this useful? It can promote the growth of plants!
Su Zhi had lived in the countryside before and knew how to do basic farm work, not to mention growing vegetables, so she didn't care at all about being reborn as a farmer's wife. She thought she could integrate well into this identity and environment. Now that she had such a magical spring, she thought she would become a super qualified farmer's wife.
In the future, I can farm and count money, become a country landlady, have Shen Zian by my side, and have children. How happy life will be.
Su Zhi was happier the more she thought about it, but she felt that these vegetables could not be kept. Shen Zian had seen them this morning, and they suddenly became so energetic, without even a yellow leaf. He would be surprised. Although Shen Zian was a very good man, she couldn't let him know her specialness now. After all, this was something too incredible. People in ancient times were still very conservative, so she had to be careful.
So Shen Zian must not be allowed to have any suspicion.
Looking at the white and green leaves, Su Zhi thought it might be a good idea to eat them.
Su Zhi picked the cabbage. It was not very big and was very tender, so just cutting it once was enough.
Because they still eat together with the main house, cooking here is just for snacks, so there is no oil. In farmers' homes, oil is also very precious. Generally speaking, they just cook some porridge, some corn residue, and some white rice. Although these are all bought by Shen Zian for her, Su Zhi is still very moved when she sees the white rice, because she has never seen white rice in all the meals she has eaten at Shen's house, which shows that it is also a rare thing in the Shen family.
Su Zhi boiled water, put corn dregs in it, and when it was about to boil, put in vegetable leaves and salt.
This kind of vegetable leaf porridge is Su Zhi's favorite. Especially when it's a bit cold like this, drinking a bowl of it will warm up the whole body and make you feel very comfortable.
It’s a pity that there is only salt here now. She used to add other seasonings.
But soon she felt that it didn't matter if there was not enough seasoning, because the aroma filled the whole house and made her drool.
When Shen Zian came back, he saw smoke coming from the thatched hut. A smile appeared on his face, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart that he had not felt since his mother passed away. This was the feeling of home.
"Wife, what are you doing? It smells so good."
As soon as Shen Zian came in, he smelled a very fragrant smell, the smell of corn dregs, and also a very special fragrance, which made his already hungry stomach even hungrier, and he seemed to be drooling.
Su Zhi smiled. She was always happy to be praised and smell the fragrance of food.
And today Su Zhi was even happier, because this porridge was more fragrant than the one she made before. She knew it was the taste of cabbage, and she was very happy. The vegetables grown with spring water were different. Not only did they look watery, but they also tasted delicious. She was so happy. Even if she didn't have enough good ingredients to make delicious food in the future, she wouldn't have to feel too bad for her stomach with the vegetables grown with this spring water.
"Today I saw those vegetables outside, and they didn't look like they would grow big, so I picked them. I made some vegetable porridge for you to eat first. It's still a while before the rice is ready."
Su Zhi filled a bowl for Shen Zian and placed it in front of him.
Shen Zian looked at the golden porridge in the black ceramic bowl in front of him, and the green leaves, and thought that this was the most beautiful porridge he had ever seen, especially since it was brought to him by his wife, who made it for him. He looked at Su Zhi's bright eyes, and felt warm in his heart, thinking that this was his wife, the one who would be with him forever and warm each other, so he took the bowl and started drinking.
Su Zhi was happy to see him so happy, but seeing his heroic posture, she quickly held him back and told him to drink in small sips. Are you kidding? The porridge is steaming hot. It won't even be hot if you drink it in big gulps!
"Wife, I understand. The porridge you made is really delicious."
Shen Zian's wheat-colored face turned slightly red. He took a sip from the bowl slowly and was immediately attracted by the delicious taste. It smelled delicious just now, but he didn't expect it to taste even better. The thing he ate the most since he was a child was porridge. Sometimes wild vegetables or cabbage were put in the porridge, but it had never been so delicious!
"Wife, the porridge you made is so delicious. It's the best I've ever eaten."
Shen Zian looked at Su Zhikua. Although his wife still had an ugly face, he felt that he had married a treasure. The wife he wanted didn't have to be a fairy, as long as she could live a good life with him. Isn't that what his current wife is like? He was really satisfied.
Su Zhi blushed as Shen Zian stared at her. She said, "If it tastes good, eat more. I'll make it for you again in the future."
"well!"
Shen Zian responded happily, and seeing that Su Zhi hadn't drunk yet, he said, "Wife, you should drink too. You haven't eaten since yesterday. You must be hungry, right?"
The Shen family only eats three meals when they are doing heavy physical work, such as during the busy farming season. The rest of the time they eat two meals. Now that the busy farming season has just passed, they are used to eating three meals a day, and suddenly they are skipping a meal, which they are still a little uncomfortable with.
But everyone has their own way of eating wild food.
Shen Zian was no exception. He had a way to get food from the mountains before. Pheasants, rabbits, and wild fruits could fill his stomach and he could sell them to save money. He never emptied Shen Zhang's pocket. It was for this reason that he did not stop giving Su Zhi medicine when the Shen family was unwilling to pay for it. He took the opportunity to keep most of his income, as long as he handed over fifty coins every month.
Now Shen Zian has to make sure his wife eats well.
Su Zhi also served herself a bowl and ate it slowly. She thought it was delicious. After finishing one bowl, she wanted to have another one. The delicious taste lingered in her mouth.
Shen Zian felt that drinking this porridge was as delicious as eating meat. Seeing that there was still some porridge left, although he wanted to eat it, he decided to let his wife eat it. The meal in the main room would be ready soon, so he would go to eat that.
Su Zhi asked Shen Zian to eat, but Shen Zian insisted on letting her eat. She did not refuse and thought that she could cook more and better meals for him in the future, so she ate the remaining porridge with a sweet heart.
Both of them were in a good mood after eating the porridge. The only regret was that there was not enough porridge.
"Wife, although the food you cook is delicious, you are not in good health and need to rest. You should cook less and rest more in the future. If the food I brought is not enough, I will make some more for you."
Su Zhi nodded. She was almost done with the idea. There were only a dozen vegetables in the fence. Two of them had yellow leaves and were wilted before watering, so she pulled them out to make porridge. She sprinkled dust on the rest, pulled them out again, and dried them until they wilted a little before planting them again. They looked similar to before. However, there were not many of them, and they were not big. If she wanted to enjoy them, she had to wait for them to grow bigger.
Shen Zian saw that it was almost time, so he went to the main house to get food.
Su Zhi closed the door with her backhand, revealing the spring water. She happily plucked a white lotus and kissed it.
