He also said that Grandma Liu was a bit old after all, although the peasants were stronger, but just now she had a bad diet and diarrhea, and her legs were a little weak.The mother just came to see the situation here, and when she saw it, she smiled and said: "Just now our grandma said, what the old lady means, I'm afraid the dinner will be served at our place. Grandma has also been shopping for a while, so it's not like I'll go and look at our field vegetables."

Grandma Liu wondered, "Why do you have fields in a place like the Immortal Mansion?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "Look at what grandma said. Even in the royal garden, there are farmland, let alone us."

Grandma Liu was skeptical, she was a little tired when she was alone, and there was a group of little girls around her, the excitement was lively, but she couldn't find a place to talk.Seeing that Nanny Chang described her as neat and tidy, she looked closer than those women in charge who were dressed in silk, so she smiled and said, "You are such a thankful old sister."

Nanny Chang hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't call me that, we're just slaves." As she spoke, the complexions of the women beside her changed slightly, and they were all a little embarrassed.

Grandma Liu smiled, and followed Aunt Chang to Daoxiang Village.

Turning around a mountain, I saw the endless rice, grains and good vegetables in front of me, and I laughed and praised for a while.I don't care about being tired anymore, I just need to look at the fields.Nanny Chang smiled at Yuanyang, "It's fine if I go with grandma. The field is muddy, and your embroidered shoes are a pity, so don't follow me." Yuanyang also had the same intention, so she nodded and went I went to see Jia Mu myself.

Since Daoxiang Village came into the hands of Nanny Chang, it has naturally been rectified.In the first year, I missed the start of sowing in early spring, which greatly delayed the season. In the next few years, I planted and harvested the seeds according to the "Farming Solar Calendar" drawn by Nanny Chang.Now it's the autumn harvest, and there are fruits and vegetables everywhere, and it's a rich pastoral scene.

Grandma Liu looked at it and said with a smile: "It's in vain that I used to say the word "peasant" on my lips all day, but now I'm slapping it. I don't know what these are."

Nanny Chang pointed them out to her: "This is late corn, this is purple potato, this is sweet potato, this is green eggplant, these are three or four kinds of spicy eggplant. That is autumn bean, It’s also called big sword bean, two of them can be fried in a bowl. This one is purple ear, lentil, which can be eaten from the middle of summer to the end of autumn, and it’s still glutinous in the mouth...”

Going forward again, it was easy to see some familiar ones. Grandma Liu sighed: "I saw these two kinds of pumpkins when I was young. Now we don't grow them there."

Nanny Chang said in surprise, "Why don't you grow it? This one is much tastier than the one with yellow strips."

Grandma Liu said: "It's delicious. It's just a vine to climb such a big place, but it only bears three or two melons. It's not worth it. No matter how delicious it is, it can't afford three meals or five meals. It's a pity." The land is so big, it’s better to plant it next to it. Now we have a variety of long bends and futons. These two can be climbed on a shelf in the air, without delaying the results. Unlike the one in front of you, you have to be rustic to make it, it’s hard Served very well.”

Mother Chang smiled and said: "You've made it clear, it's true. If the flowers are open in the air, they won't bear melons. When they are tender, they can be eaten steamed or fried. Our old lady loves this one the most. Mouth 'slap melon'."

Grandma Liu sighed and shook her head when she heard this: "It's a pity, I picked it and ate it at such a young age. Once I soaked it in water, I won't be very hungry."

Nanny Chang also liked her outspokenness, and the two of them simply visited several melon, fruit, and vegetable gardens before they came out and went up the small slope to the yard.On the way, Grandma Liu stopped, turned around and looked down, her eyes full of envy, she said to Nanny Chang: "I have opened my eyes today, and I saw so many good things. As long as I say it, I like you the most. If one day our farmers can live like this, we will die immediately and close our eyes."

Mother Chang smiled and said: "It's very different, we also work in the fields here, but there are more people."

Grandma Liu shook her head: "That's not it. Look at how neat the field is. The plants on it are the same, and they are all the same as those painted with a brush. On our farm, it's just a random one. Sometimes it can't be eaten, and it rots. The land. It’s not harvested or it’s taxed. There’s nothing I can do about it. Anything that doesn’t grow long is sold for money. Year after year, year after year, life is always messy and busy , even the field is the same. Unlike yours, the same muddy land gives a sense of leisure and prosperity. We have been looking forward to living like this for several lifetimes."

Mother Chang also felt emotional when she heard this, and couldn't help saying: "This place is just raised as a scene, how can it compare with real life? There are also several huge Zhuangzi in our mansion, and there will never be the same as here. "

When the two of them reached the courtyard, Mother Jia had already got up, with a lazy expression on her face.Li Wan tried to add some bitter tea springs to the tea, but Jia Mu said, "This water tastes good too," but she was still not very energetic.He ordered the dinner to be placed here, and told his sisters to go.But I didn't eat. I went out of the garden in an open sedan chair and went back to rest.

Mrs. Wang got a letter from her, and she also sent a word that she would not come because she had fasted that night.Li Wan asked Aunt Xue to be invited. Aunt Xue had already had dinner at home and only asked Baochai to accompany the sisters, but she didn't come either.In this way, only Li Wan and Sister Feng were left to accompany the guests. People came from a few temples. Sister Feng couldn't get away for a while, so she only said that she used it outside.There was another busy man, Baoyu, who was invited to invite him, but he went to have tea at Changcui nunnery and had not come back yet.

The chef didn't care about these, and just sent over the rice noodles that had been prepared earlier in the morning.Li Wan thought about it, first picked a few light dishes to send to Jiamu, and then brought out Baoyu's recipe list and sent it to Yihong Courtyard.There is no need for Madam Wang's vegetarian food here, so I simply chose another table and sent it to Sister Feng.

Finally, when the cooking was done, the table was set up in the Danfeng Hall, and the sisters and Grandma Liu were invited to the table.Li Wan sighed with a smile: "After this day, the old ladies and wives are tired, and Feng girl is too busy to leave. There is another Baoyu, who is always a bit busier than others. We also I can't wait for him. Thinking about it, you may not still have the energy, this time you don't need to order, and you don't talk about writing poems, just take a seat and use it randomly."

He also asked Grandma Liu to sit with Ban'er at a table with him, and Nanny Chang and Biyue went over to wait on him.On the other side, there is one seat for Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun, and another for Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun.The ladies in the kitchen brought up the food boxes, and because there were a few extra large portions, and it was made according to the family banquet, the three tables were full.

Grandma Liu looked at this and then at that, wishing she could have two more pairs of eyes.Pian Ban'er has been eating snacks and pastries here for the past two days, but now it's time for dinner.Grandma Liu wanted him to eat more, but he didn't want to, so he just kept twisting.Grandma Liu got angry and scolded: "You bastard! Such a good thing makes a fuss and refuses to eat it. It really deserves to be hungry!"

Mother Chang smiled and persuaded: "Children don't want to count the number of meals, so it doesn't matter if they can't eat it now. Later, I will pack two packs of snacks and take it with me. It's okay to eat when I'm hungry."

Seeing Ban'er like that, Grandma Liu said with a smile to Nanny Chang: "It's really 'Mother wants to live up to me, son wants to fart'. I can't talk to him anymore!"

Nanny Chang called Miao'er and asked her to take the board outside to play.Then asked Biyue to pick up a plate of snacks for them to eat.Ban'er happily took Miao'er's hand and went out.

Here Li Wan asked someone to fetch another jar of clear dew chrysanthemum wine, and said with a smile: "Since it's placed here, it can be regarded as a host anyway. There is no reason why nothing will come out. This is a new wine made this year. It's very light, if you like it, come and taste it."

Grandma Liu thought of the big pot of wine earlier, she just heard the word 'wine' and wanted to hiccup.Busy shaking his head and shaking his hands to push back.Li Wan said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Grandma, Feng girl is not here now! Speaking of which, half of this wine was opened for you. If you don't believe it, just taste this wine first. Small cup."

After speaking, he asked Suyun to pour a small cup.Grandma Liu smelled the tangy fragrance of chrysanthemums and felt cool and comfortable.He hesitated to pick it up and took a sip, but the faint smell of wine slid down his throat into his stomach, leaving only a sip of floral aroma.Yin smiled and said, "This is good, like nectar water."

Seeing that she stopped pushing, Li Wan asked Bi Yue to pour wine for her.And let the wine go to the next few tables.Several people there tasted it, and they all said it was good.After Xiangyun drank it, he asked Li Wan, "Sister-in-law, when are you going to be the host of the company? We are all looking forward to it."

Li Wan said with a smile: "I told you that every second and sixteenth day of every month will come to my place to gather together. Why do you ask such a thing again?"

Xiangyun lowered his eyes and said, "Oh, I might not be here at that time."

Baochai said: "If there is another scene of raining, snowing and enjoying the flowers and the moon, I will definitely call you to go."

After hearing this, Xiangyun became happy again, and secretly remembered that when he saw Baoyu for a while, he had to give Baoyu another word of advice.

While drinking and talking, suddenly a few girls came to serve the food with boxes, everyone was surprised.Li Wan said with a smile: "These are all the vegetables that are in season today. You can taste them after a simple cooking. They are still growing in the vegetable fields before a stick of incense. You won't be able to taste them nearby."

The maids brought out the dishes, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a plate of steamed eggplant, a plate of green and fluffy stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of small, square dim sum.Then he laughed and said, "Although it is often said that 'the mountain family makes a clean offering', these few things are too shabby."

Grandma Liu seems to have met an old friend from another place. The sections of this eggplant are pink, gray and slightly purple, and some light brown oil sauce is poured on it.Seeing the opportunity, Biyue picked up a chopstick and put it into her bowl, Grandma Liu put it into her mouth and ate it. After chewing, she felt unbelievable, and then chewed carefully.After chewing and chewing like this, the eggplant is tender and has already melted into pulp.She gulped, rubbing her teeth involuntarily.It made Biyue laugh, so she picked up another chopstick for her.

Li Wan approached and asked with a smile, "How?"

Grandma Liu shook her head: "The one I ate during the day, the second grandma only said it was eggplant, and the old lady also said it was eggplant. I ate it for half a day and only got a hint of eggplant fragrance. I only found out after asking how many chickens I took to serve it." It came out, where did you see eggplant! Now this one, I saw it was an eggplant, no doubt. I didn’t see anything mixed in it, how could I get this taste? I think it’s a different kind of eggplant. Grandma Is there any seedlings of this eggplant here? If there is time, spare me two. I also planted them at home. With eggplants that taste like this, who cares about eating meat!"

Everyone heard what he said was interesting, and they stretched out their chopsticks to taste it.Everyone said "huh", Xiangyun couldn't help asking: "This is really an eggplant, but it's not an eggplant."

Li Wan smiled and said: "The eggplants you usually eat are all aged. This eggplant has just been picked, and it still has a soul. It's not delicious. If you touch it, your heart is still beating."

Xiangyun shivered, and Baochai laughed out loud.Yingchun also smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is coaxing people to play! This eggplant was one at the time, another when it was fresh, and another when it was steamed. It's just the biggest one, I'm afraid it's on the sauce. If you guessed right, this eggplant I'm afraid it was made to eat this eggplant?"

Hearing this, Xichun dipped his chopsticks into the sauce and put it in his mouth, smacked it carefully, narrowed his eyes and said: "There are mushrooms, bean paste, rice flavor, and meat... but I don't know what it is... "

Everyone looked at her, she shook her head angrily: "I can't learn Lan'er's unique skills..." her face was gloomy.

Grandma Liu listened, and asked Li Wan: "Grandma, how many chickens did you hang up for this sauce?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "Chicken doesn't taste the best with eggplant. This sauce is just cumbersome, and there are only a few things you can use. If you like this taste, I'll give you two bottles when you leave."

Grandma Liu only chanted Buddha's name after listening to it.

Another green and fluffy stir-fried dish is the head of the pumpkin vine. The thorny membrane on the surface is torn off, chopped up and fried in a hot pan.And the square dim sum is saved from several kinds of food and vegetables in season.Taro, pumpkin, water chestnut, taro, sweet potato, and corn each occupy a side, and each is wrapped with stuffing, such as chestnuts, lotus paste, walnuts and pine nuts. The name of this dessert is "Autumn Tuan".

Everyone used some at will, and even Xiangyun was too tired to bear it at the end of the day.Qi Yuanyang came to invite Grandma Liu again, and sent a message to everyone: "The old lady is not feeling well today, so you don't have to go there tonight." Everyone got up and took orders.Ban'er came in from the outside, with dim sum scum still on his mouth.Li Wan also asked someone to pack a food box for him to take in case he was hungry at night.

As soon as they left, Xiangyun and Baochai wanted to go back to take a bath and rest, and Yingchun and the others followed.Daiyu was still sitting and talking to Guiliu, and when everyone else had left, Fang stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, let's drink tea and talk in another place."

Li Wan said with a smile: "What kind of tea do you drink in the evening? If you are sleepy after leaving, you will depend on me tomorrow."

Gui Liu looked at Li Wan with scorching eyes, and felt uncomfortable looking at Li Wan.Here, Mo Ge'er helped Daiyu to go forward, and GUI Liu jumped up to Li Wan, blinking her eyes and said: "Grandma, was the wine you just made with Lingmi? How can there be spirit in this world?" Mi? You tell me, I will not tell others, not even my master!"

Only then did Li Wan know the reason, and he was also surprised.It's not the first time I've used Lingmi to make wine, so why didn't the people out there see anything, but this little girl did?Without denying it, he nodded and said, "I used some green wild rice, but I didn't get it here. I can't tell you."

Guiliu said: "Green wild rice? Grandma, you use this kind of Lingmi to make wine?! Why don't you keep it for medicine?!"

It was only then that Li Wan remembered that the green wild rice was from the Canglan realm, and it was probably a rare thing in the small realm of Guiliu.He simply said honestly: "How did I know that this thing can be used to make medicine? And I don't know that. Rice and grain are used to make wine to feed our hunger here. What the hell are you yelling at!"

Guiliu was still waiting to speak, Suyun came to ask Li Wan to go over.I had no choice but to stop talking, and followed her bitterly to gossip with Daiyu.
