Lin Xiaoman asked: "When did you come?"

Lu Jin calmly said, "I just arrived and had a cup of tea."

Lin Xiaoman looked at the teacup in front of him, and then saw Qingshu sitting opposite the chessboard, "Brother Qingshu is here too. When did you come back?"

With such a big living person sitting here, no one has ever seen it.

Qingshu's smile was a bit joking, "I came back yesterday and brought some specialties from the capital to Miss Xiaoman, and I wanted Erhu to take them back in the evening. Miss Xiaoman happened to be here, so I'll go and get them."

After saying that, he got up and went outside to get the specialties he brought back.

Lin Xiaoman took out the Cantonese dishes that were repackaged into the food boxes and put them on the table. Lu Jin said: "Originally, I and Qingshu were going to deliver them to you, but we met Erhu on the way and told him that you were going out today, so we came.

Here."

"Oh, I just went out and came back. Have you eaten?"

Lu Jin smiled, "You can eat it even if you eat it."

Thinking of Lu Jin's appetite, which is now more and more comparable to hers, Lin Xiaoman also smiled, "Eat less and leave some for others. If you want to eat later, I will cook it for you."

Lu Jin hummed softly, "The nanny ate the side dishes that Qingshu brought to the capital and agreed to them. She also said that she would come over to see which girl could make such delicious side dishes."

Lin Xiaoman thought that the wet nurse he was talking about was Mrs. Qing, and his face was a little burning. At first, Mrs. Qing had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly said: "Just eat if you like, there are plenty in the cellar, wait until Brother Qingshu comes again

Take a few more altars with you when you go to the capital."

Lu Jin paused for a moment before saying: "Okay!"

He clearly meant to let her meet her relatives, but I don’t know if she didn’t understand? Or she was deliberately avoiding it.

She will be eighteen in the new year, and her period of filial piety will be over. If she still can’t get her to nod, it’s foreseeable how many people will line up to compete with him.

However, they have been getting along very well recently, so maybe she has recognized their relationship.

But one day she didn't nod, and he always felt less confident.

After class, Lin Erhu saw the Cantonese dim sum on the table as soon as he came in. Even though the bowls and plates were changed, he could still recognize that they had eaten there.

The taste will be unforgettable once you eat it.

Lin Erhu took a plate of shrimp dumplings and a plate of barbecued pork buns and sent them to Xu Qiuliang. He didn't forget to turn around and said: "Sister, keep it for me. I'll come back as soon as I go."

Lin Dajiao had just boiled water and brewed a pot of tea and came in. Seeing Lin Erhu running away in a hurry, she smiled and said: "Erhu, this kid has grown a lot this year and has already reached my shoulders. In two years he will be as tall as me."

High."

Only then did Lin Xiaoman realize that her brother had indeed grown a lot this year and the weather was getting colder. It was time to make him some more winter clothes.

I made a few cotton suits last year, and considering his current size, he should be too small. I went back to pack them up and let Lin Wenyao bring them to Goudan when he returns to the city. He is a few years younger than Erhu, and he can wear them for several years if he is older.<

/p>

After that, Qingshu took Xu Yuanru back to the capital again. Lin Xiaoman brought a lot of things to Mrs. Qing, especially several jars of her favorite pickles.

There was a lot of planting this year, and it was difficult to sell the side dishes that were not growing well, so Lin Xiaoman and others made pickles for them and put them in the cellar for pickling.

Unfinished dishes are also dug into cellars to store them. There are several cellars just for storing these side dishes.

Once the sauce is ready, take it to a hot pot chicken restaurant in the county. Those who come to eat will receive a small plate for each table. Many people come to eat hot pot chicken just for this little pickle.

There are also people who have finished eating and come here to buy pickles to go back to eat. Although they are a bit expensive, they really don’t have to worry about selling them. They are even a little worried that the pickles left this year will not be enough.

It seems that next year I will bring some people to make sauce. Then I won’t worry about the unsaleable vegetables in the fields going to waste, and I can also give the villagers more income.

Well, if we grow some vegetables specially used for pickling, maybe the village will be able to develop another industry.

The winter moon had just entered, and Lin Xiaoman was teaching Lin Dajiao how to grow strawberries in the greenhouse of her home. He heard Lin Dawu shouting breathlessly outside: "Xiaoman, Xiaoman, are you here?"

Thinking that the last time Lin Dawu shouted like this, he still received the imperial edict, Lin Xiaoman quickly wiped his hands and walked out, "Uncle Dawu, what happened?"

Lin Dawu held his chest and gasped for a long time, "The imperial edict... comes again..."

Before Lin Dawu could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoman ran home with ease.

But why is there another imperial edict? Lin Xiaoman was confused as he ran, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

When they got home, Lin Erhu had already returned, and Xiuyu Xiuxiang, who lived in the old house in front, also came over and was busy boiling water and washing the bathtub.

In the middle of winter, even if there is a kang at home, it is cold enough to take a bath at home in such weather. But there are so many people, Lin Xiaoman can’t say where to take a bath.

Lu Jin was talking to her old acquaintance Eunuch Fang in the house. When Lin Xiaoman came back, she asked her to come over and talk together.

From Eunuch Fang’s elated narration, Lin Xiaoman guessed that this imperial edict was another good thing.

During the chat, I learned that the new grains and vegetables she grew have become famous in the capital. There are more than ten ways to eat potatoes alone. A plate of steamed corn cakes has been sold for a high price of five taels of silver.<

/p>

Of course, this is also done by using the remaining corn flour after selecting new grain seeds.

The restaurants where you can get cornmeal are all well-established, and you have to be very capable to get it for five taels of silver a plate.

When Lin Xiaoman saw Eunuch Fang looking at her with longing eyes, he realized that he wanted to get him some corn cakes to eat.

In fact, it’s just that the name is nice. There is corn noodle cake over there, and you can buy a big piece for two yuan.

Before the water boiled, Lin Xiaoman asked Xiuyu to make the noodles.

If the steamed cake made with cornmeal alone makes your throat irritated, white flour must be added to steam it together.

Afraid that the noodles would cook slowly, Lin Xiaoman secretly added a bag of yeast to the cornmeal, covered it with a lid, and placed it on the stove. After she finished cooking, she could steam it in the pot.

Soon the water was boiled, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu both went to take a bath and change into the gorgeous clothes sent with the imperial edict this time.

At first, Lin Xiaoman thought that the emperor was acting on a whim. Thinking of the grains and vegetables she grew, he felt that the reward given last time was not enough, so he gave her another reward.

It wasn't until she heard the imperial edict that Lin Xiaoman remembered that in addition to the new grains and vegetables grown in the fields of Hedong Village, she also gave Lu Jin a batch of cotton seeds at the beginning of the year and asked him to take the seeds to the south to find suitable land for planting.

Coming.

Now the cotton is not only mature, but the harvested cotton is made into cotton clothes and quilts and sent to the army.

When the weather was warm, I didn't think it was a problem, but recently the weather has become colder and colder. The soldiers who put on cotton-padded clothes and covered themselves with quilts were no longer afraid of the severe cold. The emperor was very happy after receiving the discount from the frontier, and immediately
