Chapter 483: Terraced Fields
"Uncle, how can it be just the two of you? The wooden house is spacious over there. Please ask my grandfather and others to come along. How about we celebrate our reunion in Muchuan today?"
Su Qianqian smiled slyly.
"You girl!" Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was really rejected by his niece.
So they went out of the east city gate together and came to the foot of the mountain. There were not many people in the wooden house. Su Qianqian saw the cook, Su Zi and Wang Yuke were busy cooking.
Su Qianqian told Su Zi to prepare more dishes. She had brought some good wine because there would be guests having lunch there at noon.
"Miss, I know!" Su Zi replied crisply.
Qin Hanzhang was walking in front, following the mountain road up the hillside. Not long after he went, he heard voices in front, as well as the "crackling" sounds of trees falling and branches breaking.
County Magistrate Zhou couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Without the bushes blocking the view, the view suddenly became clear. A group of people were busy chopping trees and cutting bushes, digging up tree roots with hoes, breaking up the soil, and piling rocks from the mountain into one place.
Su Qianqian was stunned: "Grandfather, why are you here?"
"Qianqian, we came here with Madam Qin and Madam Qin. They talked about building terraces, so I was naturally very curious. We came here to take a look, and the children followed us as well."
The old man of the Jiang family wiped his sweat and laughed heartily: "Master Zhou, I have never thought that it is possible to build fields on the hillside. There are many plains or steep peaks in Daqi, but continuous hills like Muchuan are rare. Building terraces has never been done before."
County Magistrate Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Muchuan is blessed with unique natural conditions. The people can go into the mountains to hunt to maintain their food and clothing, but they have never worked hard on the fields. Other states do not have terrain like Muchuan, so naturally they did not think of building terraces."
"Cousin, I wonder what these terraced fields will look like when they are built. We are all a little impatient."
Second cousin Jiang Enyi wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said with a smile.
"Those vast expanses of terraced fields are truly breathtakingly beautiful..." Jiang Nian stroked his goatee, looking intoxicated.
"Dad, have you seen it?" Jiang Enyi asked in surprise, then shook her head: "My grandfather hasn't seen it, so how could my father have seen it? He must have thought about it."
"A miracle from heaven, a miracle from heaven, haha..." Jiang Nian laughed.
[Second cousin probably can’t see it either…] Su Qianqian quietly opened the terraced fields video, and the old man’s eyes lit up instantly.
[Your second cousin doesn't like to follow his father into architecture, nor does he like to study medicine. He likes calligraphy and painting. However, the Jiang family was displaced all the way to Muchuan, and they didn't bring any calligraphy or paintings with them. He only copied the works of his grandfather and uncle.
However, he had a good understanding and created his own font. However, he had no famous calligraphers to compare with, so he didn't know where he was lacking.
In order to practice calligraphy, he would tie his hands to blue bricks every day to move his pen, leaving many marks on the desk. 】The system is listening to Jiang Enyi's words again.
[If you like calligraphy and painting, it’s not that difficult. I have quite a few posts here…]
Jiang Enyi's hand froze in mid-air, and soon he stared at the sky with his mouth open stupidly.
[That Xiao Qi woke up this morning and had to hold his urine, so he went to the toilet while half asleep. His sixth brother was in the toilet with the door open, so Xiao Qi went in with his eyes closed and almost peed on his sixth brother's face, hahahaha...]
"Who is it..." Xiao Qi, who was swinging a hoe, suddenly looked up, but Jiang Nian rushed over and covered his mouth with his hands: "It's me, it's me, I took the new wooden ruler you bought!"
"Wuwu Xiyi..." Xiao Qi was surprised and angry. His father was too unreliable. He refused to admit it when asked!
Those who heard it laughed out loud, while those who didn't hear it were confused.
However, the system did not disappoint them. They kept eating melons along the way, and soon the Jiang family members were no longer innocent. Everyone was exposed and also saw the video posted by Su Qianqian.
It is easier to work with more people, and a large area of the hillside has been cleared into a somewhat recognizable shape. At this time, Jiang Wuyou came to call them to eat, and everyone put down their tools and went down the mountain back to the wooden house.
"Oh, the cook from Beijing is really different. I envy her cooking skills. Qianqian, I heard that you gave the cook the recipe. Can you lend it to my aunt?"
Mrs. Ding approached Su Qianqian in a flattering manner and brushed the dust off her body.
"Of course you can, as long as my aunt cooks a few more delicious dishes for me."
Su Qianqian entered the room where she lived and took out two cookbooks with pictures and handed them to Ding. In fact, they were bought from the space mall.
"Oh my, what kind of paper is this? Why is it so white? And the picture is so beautiful, it's so realistic. This is taught step by step. I'm afraid even a fool can learn it, right?"
Ding couldn't put it down and flipped through the recipe carefully.
Su Qianqian: I think you are implying something about me...
"Moreover, recipes are always the chef's secret craft. Where did you get it from and why did you give it to me?" Ding asked Su Qianqian sneakily.
"Don't worry, auntie. This is definitely not stolen. Even if you have a recipe, you still need to be perceptive. Not everyone can make delicious food with a recipe."
Su Qianqian almost pointed at her own nose: I admit, I am the one who is worse than the fool!
"Thank you, Qianqian! This is so precious! From now on, you can go to my aunt's house for dinner every day. I will cook whatever you want to eat, and it will be different every day!" Mrs. Ding repeated her previous promise.
Everyone washed their hands and faces. Since there was not enough space in the wooden house, they simply spread a tarpaulin used as a tent in front of the house and sat on the ground.
The men, led by Old Man Jiang, sat on one side, and the women, led by Madam Qin, sat on the other side. Only Wang Yuke felt tired, so the cook prepared food for her to eat in her room.
"I came to Muchuan with the Qin family, young and old. I was exiled here as a criminal. Fortunately, Lord Zhou showed sympathy and I was able to meet Minister Jiang, who allowed Qianqian to see her grandfather. All these are good things. God has been kind to my Qin family."
Madam Qin raised her wine glass and said, "Although Qianqian has left the Wuning Marquis' Mansion, in my eyes she is still my Qin family's granddaughter, so today I must go to visit Minister Jiang. What Hanzhang did was also approved by me, so Qianqian should blame grandmother."
Madam Qin sighed, turned to Su Qianqian and said, "Grandma had no other choice but to save as many as she could, but Qianqian felt wronged."
"I would like to offer this glass of wine to Minister Jiang and Magistrate Zhou. I have always been free to follow my heart and have never been controlled by others."
Su Qianqian lowered her eyes and raised the wine glass. In the glass was the peach blossom wine that she and Qin Hanzhang had brewed when they were doing disaster relief. The peach blossoms were picked by Qin Hanzhang for her, and later they were brought back to the Marquis' Mansion and buried under a tree. She did not forget to dig them out when she left the Marquis' Mansion.
"I don't know where the person has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze..." Su Qianqian chanted softly.
"Third sister-in-law, you can actually recite poetry. You can come up with such beautiful lines effortlessly!" Qin Hanjue was so surprised that he almost bit the chicken bones off!
