"Okay, let's just make these today. When you've eaten them and they taste good, we can pick them again."
Xiyue said "hmm" and put the rapeseed sprouts in the small bamboo basket on her back.
Among the surrounding fields, apart from the wheat fields, only Lin Jiuyue's family planted rapeseed.
In the middle of a wheat field, a field of rapeseed suddenly appears, which is quite eye-catching.
"Let's go, let's go back."
After returning home, Lin Jiuyue handed the rapeseed sprouts to Aunt Li, who looked at the rapeseed sprouts in her hand again and again.
"Miss, why does this look a bit like the rapeseed you grow?"
A smile appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.
"Oh? Aunt Li can see that?"
Aunt Li said a little embarrassedly when she heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Haha, Miss, I didn't know it at first, but two days ago, when I went to the village, I saw something exactly like this growing in the village chief's field. I was curious, so I asked the village chief a few more questions, and he said it was rapeseed."
"In our Nanyue Kingdom, no one grows rapeseed. Only the young lady and the village chief planted some, so I memorized it. Now that I saw it, it took me a while to recognize it."
Lin Jiuyue gave Aunt Li a thumbs up.
"Aunt Li, you are amazing. You knew it was rapeseed after just one look."
Aunt Li smiled embarrassedly.
I don’t know whether rapeseed is good or worth the money.
I learned that in the entire Nanyue Kingdom, only the young lady and the village chief's family grew rapeseed, so I couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"Aunt Li, let's stir-fry the rapeseed sprouts for lunch so we can have some vegetables."
The green vegetables Lin Jiuyue mentioned were the rapeseed sprouts that she picked this morning.
In ancient times, planting technology was underdeveloped, and coupled with the cold weather, the vegetables planted didn't grow large or survive. This resulted in a lack of edible vegetables throughout the winter. Now that rapeseed sprouts were available, Aunt Li was incredibly happy.
But after just two seconds of happiness, he started to have trouble again.
"But Miss, I don't know how to cook rapeseed sprouts to make them delicious."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"It's very simple, just stir-fry it."
Before traveling through time, Lin Jiuyue liked to stir-fry rapeseed moss with lard.
I always feel that vegetables fried with lard are more delicious than those fried with vegetable oil. However, in winter, vegetables cool down quickly, and vegetables fried with lard will solidify quickly if you don't eat them quickly.
However, most dishes cooked in this dynasty were cooked with lard, and some people were even reluctant to use any oil when cooking.
"By the way, Aunt Li, this dish needs more oil to taste better. Please add more oil."
After hearing this, Aunt Li responded and went downstairs to prepare.
Not long after, Aunt Li brought the fried rapeseed over. Lin Jiuyue looked at the plate of lush green rapeseed and leaned over to smell it.
"Yeah, that's the smell."
Rapeseed sprouts are usually only available in winter, and Lin Jiuyue had always loved this dish. After traveling through time, she thought she would never be able to eat it again, but unexpectedly, she stumbled upon it while fleeing famine.
"Miss, I don't know if the food is good or not, please try it."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
Lin Jiuyue still has confidence in Aunt Li's cooking skills.
"Aunt Li, you know it's delicious without even trying it."
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food.
Xiyue and Aunt Li, who were standing by, looked at Lin Jiuyue nervously, waiting for Lin Jiuyue to give an evaluation after she finished eating.
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue had eaten a piece of rapeseed but had no intention of speaking, Aunt Li became a little anxious.
"Miss, is it that the food I cooked is not tasty?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue quickly shook her head.
"No Aunt Li, your cooking is delicious."
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue picked up the chopsticks and put another one in her mouth.
"As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good, I'm just worried that it won't taste good and that these dishes will be wasted."
Green vegetables are a precious commodity in winter. Ordinary people usually don't buy them to eat in winter. Only wealthy families can afford to eat green vegetables.
"How could that be? If Aunt Li doesn't believe it, just try it yourself."
Aunt Li waved her hands quickly after hearing this.
"No, no, no, these vegetables are specially made for the young lady. I won't eat them."
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Haha, Aunt Li, these vegetables are very expensive in other people's homes, but for us, they are really worthless. We have a lot of them in our fields. You can just pick them anytime you like."
Aunt Li thought about it and felt that this was the case.
The young lady planted rapeseed on an area of 20 acres. If she just ate it as a vegetable, she would definitely not be able to finish it.
"Miss, there's more in the kitchen. I'll go down and eat it later."
Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue didn't force it.
When Aunt Li cooks, she always cooks her own dishes and theirs separately. I have tried to persuade her several times, but Aunt Li insisted on bringing up the issue of rules.
There was no other way. In order to let Aunt Li and the others eat in peace, I had to agree.
"Well, you guys should fry some later, fry more, so that everyone can have a taste."
Vegetables are very precious in winter, and servants are generally not qualified to eat vegetables in winter.
But my young lady not only gave vegetables to the servants, but also asked me to make more.
"Yes, thank you, Miss."
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand. Aunt Li retreated.
"Miss, vegetables are very valuable in winter. You've planted nearly twenty acres of rapeseed. You should be able to harvest quite a few, right?"
Lin Jiuyue listened while eating.
"Yeah, there's a lot you can pinch. If you want to eat it, you can eat it anytime."
Xiyue shook her head.
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the grain store in our town is empty right now. Can we, can we transport this rapeseed moss to the store in town and sell it there?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue put down his chopsticks and began to think seriously.
The grain store was closed, and Uncle Li, Lai Fu, and Lai Cai were all in the village during the day. But there wasn't much to do in the village, and Uncle Li and the other two had been idle for a few days, and they were almost going crazy.
They ask me to do things for them every day. I am almost fed up with them.
Now I heard Xiyue say that it would be a good idea to pick the rapeseed sprouts and transport them to the town to sell.
"Xiyue, what you said is really a good idea."
There were not many vegetables to eat in the winter in ancient times, and what's more, this place is in the north, so there are even fewer vegetables.
If I could pick the rapeseed sprouts and sell them, I would probably make a lot of money.
Of course, when picking rapeseed sprouts to sell, you can only pick them once, otherwise it will affect the rapeseed yield.
"How about this, after dinner, ask Uncle Li and Lai Fu Lai Cai to come to me and I'll discuss it with them."
Xiyue was very happy to see that her idea was adopted by her young lady.
"Yes, miss."
