Jiang Li led Fubao out of the car, while Tang Ning and Jiang He, the older ones, jumped off the carriage and ran happily towards Zhuangzi.
Especially Tangning, she was like a wild wild horse.
He spread his arms and ran into the wind: "Ah, ah, is this nature? It's much more comfortable than in the capital!"
The old housekeeper looked at the children with a smile, "Young master, run slower!"
When he saw Fu Bao, the old housekeeper's face was full of kindness, "Little miss, come quickly, the village has left a lot of delicious food! The housekeeper will give it to you!"
Fu Bao clasped his little hands behind his back and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Butler."
The group of people first went to check into the house on Zhuangzi. The house was naturally clean, and the old housekeeper was always cleaning it, but the place was not as big as the house in the capital.
Walking out of the mansion, you can see the vast land belonging to the Jiang family. However, this spring, there is no green rice or wheat in the land, it is all konjac that has been planted.
Tang Ning and Jiang He ran to the field to play, picking wild flowers and so on.
Fu Bao looked at the ground and asked, "Grandpa Butler, how does this konjac look like now?"
Mentioning this, the housekeeper smiled from ear to ear, "Okay! The seeds were planted last winter. They are all over the mountains and plains, and there are also ones mined by servants and servants on the mountains. Wait until they sprout in May and they should be ready in October."
It’s harvested.”
Fubao calculated in his mind that May is the month when spring sprouts, and October is almost autumn, which is also the harvest season.
The cultivated areas all over the mountains and plains, as well as the plains above Zhuangzi, are also full of konjac. The quantity of konjac this autumn is probably very considerable, and it will be enough for Tofu Factory to produce konjac for a long time in the future.
Fu Bao nodded: "Then I'll have to worry about Grandpa Butler."
"Young lady, I'd be very happy if that's the case."
Originally, many of the Jiang family's servants in the capital were sent to Zhuangzi, and the old housekeeper was still very worried about the situation of the Jiang family. Now that he sees that everyone is well and the young lady is as innocent as ever, the old housekeeper is completely relieved.
"Little miss, go and play. I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on making delicious food for you! There are pastries!"
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Butler."
Fu Bao ran off to play wildly with Tang Ning and the others, while Jiang Li stayed behind to watch over them.
Brothers Jiang Shou and Jiang Yuan were concerned about the mining situation on the mountain, so they went up the mountain to check it out together.
Fortunately, the Jiang family has done a good job in maintaining confidentiality. There are no traces of anyone else digging the hematite. Some of the iron ore that has been mined has also been collected by them in the space. Now there is still a large amount of hematite.
The stone is not mined, and there is a lot of raw ore piled up in the space.
If the ore in space alone could smelt city iron, it would be enough for an elite force of several thousand people.
It's just that the Jiang family can't find a suitable place for secret smelting. Another thing is that the current new emperor relies heavily on the Jiang family for the time being, so the Jiang family doesn't have to worry too much and mess up their position.
The mining of iron ore has also been temporarily suspended.
After confirming that there was no problem with the ore, the two Jiang brothers returned to the house.
When they came back, they saw that Fu Bao and the others were just like rolling out of the mud. Fu Bao's face was covered with mud.
Tangning and Jiang He also pulled up their trouser legs, revealing their plump white legs and feet.
The children's hands were also covered in mud and they were holding many small crabs.
"What are you doing?"
Fu Bao laughed and showed the small crab in his hand to his uncles, "This is a mountain crab. Tang Ning said it can be fried and eaten!"
The little crabs are no bigger than a child's hand, but this kind of mountain crab doesn't grow very big.
Seeing that Fubao and the others were very happy, the Jiang brothers let them go.
Tang Ning called to Fubao: "Come on Fubao! There are more here! Let's attack from both sides!"
"Okay! Here we come!" Fu Bao ran over with great effort. Several children caught crabs very seriously.
Soon it was noon, and the sun was very hot. Jiang Li didn't want them to continue to bask in the sun outside, so he called the children back.
By this time, Fubao, Tangning and Jiang He had caught many small crabs, twenty or thirty large and small, and put them all in bamboo baskets.
Tang Ning said: "Where's Grandpa Butler? Let the kitchen wash this and fry it to eat!"
Fu Bao curiously asked: "Can it be delicious? There is no meat!"
Tang Ning nodded: "It's delicious! I've tried it before. It's crispy and fragrant after being fried. It's especially delicious!"
Jiang He was also greedy: "Let's go find the housekeeper!"
The children took the mountain crabs they caught and found the housekeeper together.
When the housekeeper saw the mud crabs and the children who looked like clay dolls, he smiled and said, "Want to eat? OK, let the kitchen clean it up and fry it for you!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Butler!"
Fu Bao said happily.
"But it will be later. Go wash the children and change their clothes."
Fu Bao also felt uncomfortable, so they returned to the yard obediently. Jiang Li and the others had already ordered the servants in the village to prepare hot water.
Fortunately, these children can wash themselves without anyone having to worry about them, and they can also wash themselves cleanly.
After Fu Bao was clean and refreshed, it was time to have lunch at noon.
The farm food on Zhuangzi is very delicious, down-to-earth, and looks delicious and delicious. There are spicy dishes, but also light dishes such as crucian carp soup, which is suitable for children.
Fu Bao and the others were already hungry and fainted after playing all the time, and the food was extremely delicious.
Jiang He picked up a fried mountain crab for Fu Bao, "Amei! You eat this, I remember I only caught it!"
Tangning quit, "That's nonsense, I was the one who caught you!"
"I caught it right! Its claws are the biggest! I remember it very clearly!"
Seeing that the children were about to quarrel, Fu Bao couldn't bear it and said: "I'll catch them, I'll catch them! Eat quickly."
Tangning and Jiang He then glared at each other and compromised with each other.
Fubao thought to himself: Humph, what a child, so childish!
Fu Bao, who was thinking like this, didn't remember that he was just a five-year-old baby.
There was no way, the bonus to the wisdom value was so high that Fu Bao was already very smart and gradually started to treat himself as an adult.
After lunch, they were supposed to take a lunch break, but Fu Bao and the others couldn't sleep, so they played games in the room.
The game was proposed by Tang Ning, playing chess pieces.
Fu Bao followed and played a few games, but found it boring and always wanted to eat something.
She ran out secretly, pretending to ask for snacks from the kitchen, but in fact she brought out many snacks from the space: nuts, rice cakes, dried meat... and even a milky and milky ice cream.
The sweet jam is drizzled on top, which is especially dense and delicious.
The moment she ate it, Tangning was shocked, "Wow! Are all the cooks at Jiangjiazhuang so good? They can even make this kind of dessert! How much ice has been made in your ice cellar! Do you have any more?
