Chapter 284 Mr. Xie got tanned
Chapter 284 Mr. Xie got tanned
Thank you, sir, for getting a tan.
The once elegant man has been tanned into a half-ripe wheat color. Compared with his previous fair and green appearance, he now has a bit more of the toughness of a mature man and is more manly.
Food is a big deal. When Xie Huaiguang's immediate superior heard about this, he granted Xie Huaiguang half a day off and asked him to go to the farm to keep an eye on it. If it really succeeded, it would be a great achievement for him. This would be a good time to earn political achievements for himself.
That's why Xie Huaiguang could come here every day and stay for most of the day.
"Thank you, sir. Have a drink of water!"
Tian Laosan handed over the bowl. The black bowl was used by poor families. Tian Laosan was afraid that Xie Huaiguang would dislike it, so he asked Tian Erniu to wash it several times. This time, when he handed it to him, Xie Huaiguang took it and drank it all up without any displeasure at all.
"Master Xie looks different from other masters."
Tian Lao San laughed and said, "You are the first one to come to the fields and do it yourself. Many officials come down to walk around, take a look, and that's it, but not like you."
Xie Huaiguang said: "I am also a country bumpkin. My mother took care of me while farming. These things are nothing to me."
Although Xie Huaiguang said so, Tian Laosan still knew that the country bumpkin Xie Huaiguang mentioned must be different from him. A real country bumpkin would not even have the opportunity to go to school.
Tian Lao San said happily, "We can start harvesting tomorrow. I heard from Daniu that the boss will come to the farm to treat everyone to barbecue after the wheat is harvested in order to reward everyone. I heard that this thing is new in the city and is different from the barbecue we eat. The old man is drooling when he heard it."
Since Tian Laosan followed Gu Zilu into the Marquis' Mansion, his life has been getting better and better. However, he still can't eat meat every meal. When Su Jin comes, there will be barbecue. Not only Tian Laosan, but even the tenants in the fields are very happy.
Fortunately, this farm is not big and there are not many people, so the owner probably doesn't have to spend too much money.
Tian Laosan was calculating for Su Jin in his mind, always worried that Su Jin would spend too much money.
"Daniu is coming too?"
Xie Huaiguang already knew about the situation of Tian Laosan's family. Tian Daniu and Tang Gu Zilu were brought back to Su Jin, saying that they lacked a strong man to guard the house. Xie Huaiguang also thought that was true. There was no male owner in the house, and it would be safer for a woman living alone.
"Yes, let's go together tomorrow."
The two chatted idly, and seeing that it was getting late, Xie Huaiguang rode back on his horse, but all he could think about was what Tian Laosan said.
Su Jin wants to come to the farm in person.
His calm face subconsciously raised a curve, and Xie Huaiguang was actually looking forward to that day.
Not only can the crops be officially harvested, but more importantly, after being busy for so long, he can finally see Su Jin, so it can be said that all his efforts have not been in vain.
Soon, it was barbecue day.
Su Jin left the palace early. After all, her position was an idle one and no one would care if she left early.
When they arrived at the farm, Yuchuan had already set up tents with his people, one for the women and one for the men. As for the people on the farm, they naturally ate outside.
However, Yuchuan still set up an open-air seat in the separated backyard so that Su Jin could come out whenever he wanted.
When Tian Daniu escorted Su Jin to the farm, Ning Ruolan had already brought people to marinate the meat. Seeing her coming, she quickly called her over to take a look.
Su Jin was most interested in the food. Hearing this, he walked over without hesitation and took a look. Wow, this is too rich, isn’t it?
Ning Ruolan, actually got a Tomahawk steak? ?
Su Jin's eyes widened in shock. She pointed at the bright red flesh that looked like an axe, and her mouth opened into a circle.
“Hey, you…”
"Steak is delicious, trust me!"
Su Jin: ...
What she actually wanted to say was that beef in ancient times was not raised as it is today, and it has a lot of parasites, so we should roast it until it is well cooked before eating.
However, she didn't want to reveal that she was from the modern era. Su Jin had been here for so long that she had become lazy. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, she subconsciously said, "Remember to bake it well. It's so thick, don't bake it undercooked."
Half-cooked, half-cooked, half-cooked...
Ning Ruolan was somewhat shocked by this word. She looked at Su Jin with difficulty in explaining. After a long while, she nodded in Aunt Su's pure and flawless gaze: "Don't worry... leave it to me."
She runs a restaurant, auntie!
Su Jin nodded and continued looking, and ended up seeing more delicious food.
Marinated honey pork ribs, eggplant with garlic sauce, and a raw egg on top. Su Jin had never seen this way of eating, so it must be a secret recipe~~~
Su Jin's mood suddenly became cheerful and she was looking forward to the barbecue tonight.
Next came ox tongue, hairy crab, palm treasure, rice cake, and then the more common pork belly, beef, mutton, as well as chicken gizzards, chicken hearts and chicken wings. Su Jin also saw the braised chicken feet.
Ah... saliva...
After finishing the meat, we went to look at the vegetables. Many of them were produced on the farm and they didn’t cost any money. Except for the seafood that couldn’t be delivered and therefore couldn’t be eaten, this was already a very sumptuous barbecue.
"Sixth Miss."
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Su Jin was delighted. It was Xie Huaiguang's voice.
She turned around subconsciously and saw a handsome dark-skinned boy.
His eyes are still the same beautiful eyes as before, with dark pupils, thick and long eyelashes, his nose is still high, and his thin lips are slightly pursed, very handsome, but this skin color, emm...
Su Jin pursed her lips and suddenly sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Eat more today, that's my compensation."
Hearing Su Jin say this, Xie Huaiguang's smile became even more pronounced, and he suddenly felt that all these days of sunbathing were not in vain.
"Then I will come here empty-handed, eat heartily, and leave with a full stomach."
"What do you mean empty-handed? I'm very happy that you can come."
Yes, it’s natural to be happy when there are handsome guys looking at you. Although your white skin has turned into dark skin, it still has its own charm. After all, Louis Koo with white skin and Louis Koo with dark skin are both handsome guys.
Su Jin was very happy.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone reported that Prince Rui had arrived.
Su Jin was supposed to go to greet them, but Zhao Jingyu had already walked in with his people.
"Sixth Miss!"
Zhao Jingyu was obviously in a good mood. He ordered people to carry things up. The huge boxes were all ancient refrigerators. The innermost layer was filled with wine, drinks and fruits.
Prince Rui did not come empty-handed, but brought other delicious things.
However, these are not things that the tenants outside can enjoy. They also have wine, but it cannot be chilled.
"I have asked my brother for permission. Please keep the gate open for us tonight. You can return with me then. However, the gate can only be opened this time..."
Zhao Jingyu arranged everything in an orderly manner, and his eyes were so excited that they never left Su Jin's face.
He had made up his mind and decided to do as Ning Ruolan said. Tonight, he would confess his feelings to Su Jin!
