Chapter 511: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination novel (33)

The only thing that occasionally makes Xu Yin feel anxious is that she still doesnt have a clue about the legendary fragrance that amazes the world.

It seems that ordinary flowers cannot create this legendary fragrance, and we can only rely on flowers with special effects brought by Xiuzhen Small World Baiyuan.

The "Fantasy" and "Broken" that have been prepared so far have not exceeded the achievements of the legendary fragrance, which shows that more work is needed.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Next year, she decided to focus more on the boutique cultivation area on the top of Qunfang Mountain.

Zi Yuan and Hong Qian, who were taught by her step by step, are now able to use the perfume sold in the spice shop. Starting next year, we can let them make it.

It snowed early this year. A few days after the Laba Festival, heavy snowflakes started to fall, turning the mountains white overnight.

Some sections of the road were icy and the carriage was prone to slipping. Xu Yin decided to spend the New Year in another courtyard this year.

She gave Xu Kui an early leave and asked him to return home to spend the New Year with his old housekeeper.

Xu Kui refused: "The girl won't go back, and the younger one won't go back either! Stay here to spend the New Year with the girl!"

Do I need someone to accompany me here? Xu Yin glared at him, If you still want to follow me next year, just listen to me!

Xu Kui is so confused.

Xu Yin asked him again: "Are there any other family members here who are working in the government? If so, if you ask them to go back, they will not be deducted their monthly payment and will have an early holiday. It is usually hard to live in two places, so go back Have a happy reunion year.

"But girl..." Xu Kui was really worried, "There are fewer people on duty in other hospitals, could it be..."

"No!" Xu Yin knew what he was worried about, "Have you forgotten that I have a life-saving thing, girl?"

"Fantasy" and "Broken" self-defense fragrance, single women deserve it!

Xu Kui couldn't win over the girl, so he had to take a few servants and nurses who also had family members working in the mansion back to Xu Mansion.

The old housekeeper took a look: The girl has not come back, but you guys have come back?

She also took a vacation for herself. During this period, she completely relaxed and was not busy with anything related to work. She cooked tea around the stove, roasted some chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and chatted with the maids and women who were also warming their hands around the stove. chat.

The water for making tea is taken from the snow water covering the tea trees. After it melts, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint aroma of tea, which is suitable for making tea.

Chestnuts and sweet potatoes were sent by Zhuangzi below.

While eating, we chatted about the specialties of each village under the Xu Mansion.

The maid and the mother-in-law are both children from poor families, otherwise they would not be sold into slavery, so they are very interesting in talking about these topics.

"Girl, my servant Zhuangzi who grows chestnuts has been there. My hometown is there. On the mountains over there, in addition to the big chestnuts with lots of flesh, and the round chestnuts with round bottoms and pointed heads, there are also little thumb caps. Even smaller rice chestnuts, the skin is very thin and the meat is very tender, you can just put it in your mouth and bite it, and finally spit out the residue..."

Xu Yin nodded. She knew that the rice chestnuts that Hong Qian described had been picked and eaten in a forgotten little world. Maybe there were still some in the system warehouse.

"Girl, this old slave has stayed in Wanhua Village in the west of the city for half a year. It is far away from the mountains. There are hundreds of acres of high-quality farmland connected together. There is a long river surrounding the fields. There are many fish and shrimps in the river. The village outside the village Children in the village often run into the village and throw fish and shrimp baskets into the river when the village head is not paying attention. After playing for a long time, they go back and quietly lift up the fish and shrimp baskets. But there are also times when the village head discovers them. Zhuangzi could hear the angry scolding of Zhuangtou."

Xu Yin asked curiously: "Are the fish and shrimps in the river stocked in the village?"

"That's not true. It was already there in the river. However, after the old man bought that piece of land, it became the property of the Xu Mansion. People outside did not dare to catch it even if they were greedy, so there were gradually more fish and shrimps in the river. The children from the nearby villages were greedy and would sneak in when the village head wasn't paying attention. The village head saw that they were all children, and apart from scolding them a few times, he didn't stop them and send them to the official."

The fish and shrimps in Zhuangzi are not only eaten by the people in Zhuangzi, but also delivered to the house, so they are not sold outside?

"No." The old woman recalled carefully, "The old man once said that the river water with fish and shrimps irrigated the fields and the crops grew better, so the farmer was reluctant to sell them, so he kept them all, and even opened the river mouth leading to outside the village. , a net was set up, so there were too many fish and they couldnt swim out.

Xu Yin raised her forehead and said: "Then he has kept the filial piety in the house for the past two years? Then there will be no fish and shrimp in the river?"

"I know about this." A nurse raised his hand, "My wife's uncle works in Wanhua Village. He said there were too many fish and shrimps in the river. Before the twelfth lunar month, the village head took them to pick up big ones. I got up and dried a batch of dried fish and shrimps, saying that there was a filial piety in Kaichun Mansion, so I sent them to the girl to try."

Xu Yin:

This Zhuangtou is really a real person!

I gave the old man a thumbs up in my heart: He has unique vision! The people in charge selected are all loyal!
