Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Mu Chenze heard this and said, "This garlic-fried Chinese cabbage is also delicious. It has a crisp and tender texture, a light fragrance with a hint of sweetness, and a strong aroma of garlic. Not bad, Ayi, bring some back for me later so that your sister-in-law can have a taste too."

Mu Chenyi nodded and said, "These are for you, your father, the emperor, and your mother. You can take some with you when you go back."

Mu Chenze said happily after hearing this: "Great, I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious vegetables in winter. Miss Xia is really amazing."

Mu Chenyi nodded and said proudly: "Of course, don't you see who is interested in this girl?"

Mu Chenze simply ignored him and ate his meal.

As for Xia Zixuan in Qingshan Village, she didn't know that Mu Chenyi went back to ask for rewards for her, and even got her two shops and a thousand acres of fertile land.

Xia Zixuan and her group finished gnawing on the big bone. She washed her hands and said, "Ying San, Le Han, Le An, Le Ping, and Le Song, go put up the Spring Festival couplets together!"

Several people quickly replied: “Yes, girl, we will go now.”

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Le Nan, Le Shan, and Song, the three of you stay here to help chop the meat for making dumplings. As for the rest of you, go wherever you see need help."

"Yes, girl, we get it," the group answered in unison.

Then Xia Zixuan said, "Aunt Xiuhong, where is the meat? Take it out and let them chop it into minced meat."

Xia Xiuhong quickly responded, "Miss, the meat is in the kitchen warehouse! Just ask Leshan and the others to get it."

Le Shan pulled Le Nan and said, "Come on, let's go to the storehouse to get some meat. We'll all learn how to make dumplings later. I really want to eat dumplings. The last time I ate them was when the girl was free."

Le Nan patted him and said, "Then you have to work harder later."

Le Shan walked forward quickly and said, "What's the problem? Just watch!"

The two chatted and laughed as they came to the small storeroom. Lele said, "Let's take 30 kilograms of meat! We'll need to put some vegetables in there later!"

Le Shan nodded and said, "Okay, take 30 kilograms first! If it's not enough, come back for more."

Le Nan agreed, "Okay, don't forget, there are other dishes to eat!"

Le Shan heard this and said, "Then let's go back quickly!"

In the kitchen, Xia Zixuan was leading Xingyu, Jinghe and a few others, washing vegetables and chopping onions, ginger, etc., as well as cutting mushrooms and leeks that they had found in the mountains.

During this time, Aunt Cui also came to the kitchen. She smiled and said, "Miss, I am here to help as well."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mammy, help Granny Xia prepare the ingredients for dinner!"

Aunt Cui smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll go over first, young lady."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, Madam, you can rest if you are tired."

Xia Zixuan always felt uncomfortable hearing her address, but after reminding her several times, Aunt Cui just wouldn't change. So, forget it, just let her be!

Since arriving here, Nanny Cui has had nothing to do except teaching Xia Zixuan and the maids some etiquette. Today, she saw everyone in the kitchen busy, so she came over.

She likes the life here very much now. There is no intrigue and conspiracy here, and life is very comfortable.

If the Queen Mother were still alive, she would probably like such an environment too!

She shook her head secretly. Really, why think about these things? She shook off her thoughts and walked to Granny Xia's side. She said softly, "Old sister, I will help you prepare."

Granny Xia said quickly, "How can this be allowed? You are the girl's nanny, how can you call me sister?"

Aunt Cui smiled and said, "What's the use of it? We are all serving the young lady. We are all family, right?"

Granny Xia listened to her words and thought about it: "We are a family, but you are still different from us."

Aunt Cui ignored what she said and said, "Since we are a family, don't worry about it. Since I came here, I have taught the young lady some etiquette and taught those maids, and there is no one to talk to."

Granny Xia heard her tone was a little pitiful and said: "Then come and talk to me in the future!"

Aunt Cui smiled and said, "That's great. I will come to talk to you more often in the future."

After watching Aunt Cui leave, Xia Zixuan's clear voice rang out in the kitchen, "We're going to make two flavors of dumplings today, one with mushrooms and one with leeks. You can eat whichever you want."

Several people smiled and said, "Okay, thank you young lady."

On the other side, Leng Lan, Nan Ning, Zhishu, Zhiqiu and others were following Xia Xiuhong to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Le Shan and the other man came over with the meat and said, "Miss, the meat is here. What do you think of it?"
