Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Mao Xi comforted Zhe Mei and said, "Sister Zhe Mei, don't worry. Is Mr. Sima already married?"

"Not yet."

"Then has his family found a well-matched woman to be his wife?"

"I don't know. Mr. Sima rarely talks to me about his family. He usually talks about lyrics and music with me."

Mao Xi thought of the regretful love stories she had read in previous books about some talented women in ancient times who ended up separated from their husbands even though they were married as concubines because their mothers-in-law and father-in-law didn't like them, or their wives didn't like them.

In the end, some ended up remarrying, while others escaped into Buddhism.

She didn't want Zhemei to have to go down this old path again after she had already gone through the process of cultivating Taoism and returning to secular life.

"Sister Zhemei, if Mr. Sima is vague about your life-long events, maybe he just regards you as his confidante temporarily. If my sister wants to grow old with him, I'm afraid she'll have to trust someone else."

Zhe Mei smiled bitterly, recalling the days when she and Sima Yuan were chatting around the fire in Linglong Mountain: "That's all, I think he just regarded me as his confidante."

Seeing Zhemei's sulky expression, Mao Xi brought a bowl of pear soup and said, "Sister, you might as well adjust your condition so that when you are in Linglong Mountain, don't take the man's feelings for you too seriously."

After Zhemei drank the pear soup, she suddenly felt fresh and nourished her heart, and her heart gradually calmed down: "You have analyzed it thoroughly, Miss Ah Shu, from now on I will still focus on my Silk and Bamboo House."

After bidding farewell to Zhe Mei, Mao Xi hopes that her silk and bamboo shop will get better and better. Even if she was born in ancient times, she would never see a person choose to be someone else's concubine for love when she has a choice.

When the awakening of stings arrives, the thunder of spring awakens the dormant overwintering insects.

A thunderclap in the middle of the night woke up Ajiao in bed. Mrs. Chen comforted her crying daughter and hummed a little tune before putting Ajiao to sleep.

Early in the morning, Mao Xi returned to the Liu family's old house from Lihua Town. Today, he and Mrs. Chen were going to deworm the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden.

On the stove, Mrs. Chen made a pot of sesame oil pancakes. The oil should be sesame oil, which can kill poisonous insects near the stove.

Before going out, Chen spread mirage charcoal made from burned oyster shells in every corner of the house, especially in the yard and outside the threshold, to repel insects.

As the temperature warms up, insects come out to the fields early in the morning, and the number of insect pests in the fields also increases.

Mao Xi learned how to get rid of pests from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen.

Three days in advance, soak plant ash into water, the ratio of gray to water is three to ten. After filtering the plant ash, pump out the liquid and spray it on the vegetable seedlings.

The watering pot was made by Mao Xi. She asked Luda to improve the hanging pot in the town's public bathhouse and make it look like what Mao Xi had seen in modern times. It resembled a large teapot with a shower head added to the spout. sprinkle.

With the watering can, insect repellent was more effective. Mao Xi carried two buckets of lime water and went to Biyoudongtian to repel insects on flowers and vegetable seedlings.

Mo Feng was doing some repairs in the cave, and Mao Xi took the three pears he had with him and gave them to the hero Mo Feng.

"Brother Mo, today is the time for the awakening of insects, so you should eat pears."

Mo Feng accepted it happily, stood up and took the watering can from Mao Xi's hand to help her get rid of the insects.

While sprinkling water, he said: "Ah Shi, I have eaten all the fruits and purple potatoes in your field several times!"

After Mo Feng poured the lime water, he took out the dried roses and daylilies and continued: "There are also these flowers that have withered and bloomed again. These have been dried and wrapped for you. I will take them back with you." .”

Seeing that Mao Xi was holding a watering can and two buckets quite cumbersome, Mo Feng took over and carried the farm tools down the mountain with Mao Xi.

Along the way, the two of them chatted about Mao Xi's small farmland by the hot spring. Mo Feng said that he was tired of eating those cucumbers, pumpkins, courgettes, and sweet potatoes.

Mao Xi took her to his field and asked him to pick vegetable seedlings.

Mo Feng picked some vegetables, including cabbage, radish, water spinach, as well as chrysanthemum and lettuce newly grown from the seeds in the blind box.

Mrs. Chen had already taken Ah Jiao back to the Liu Family Fruit Cake Shop. After Mao Xi sorted out the farm tools, she also returned to Lihua Town.

Overnight, all the pear blossoms in the town bloomed, as white as snow.

When Mao Xi arrived at the store, she started making today's new food. She soaked some white fungus, cut it into small pieces, cut the crispy pear into pieces, and boiled it with white fungus and rock sugar.

She only sells this bowl of snow pear and white fungus soup for 3 Wen a bowl.

Due to the low price and the custom of eating pears among the people of Jingzhetian, this sweet soup sold very well today.

A large pot of white fungus soup can be made by soaking one dried white fungus. When the pot was sold out, Xiao Qing helped to continue making it.

But there were not enough pears in the store, so Mao Xi went to Baiyuan Village alone to find Ying Ge'er's Grandpa Jiang to buy pears.

When Grandpa Jiang saw Millet Xi, he immediately pulled out two baskets of crisp pears: "Ah Millet, these were picked this morning and are still fresh. Are they enough?"

"Two baskets are enough, Grandpa Jiang. I will come back to you in two days to purchase goods."

On the way back to Lihua Town, Mao Xi stopped by Niujia Village and brought some pears to Aunt Niu and Sister Niu Sanhua's family.

"Sister Ah Shu, why did you want to come see me today?"

"Sister Sanhua, I want to go up the mountain to pick some wild mulberries, the same mulberry trees in the mountains where I was looking for sheep last time."

Niu Sanhua took two backpacks and a big cloth and took Mao Xi to the mountains.

The sound of a piccolo came from the road. It turned out to be Niu Sanhua's nephew Niu Zhanyi, who was riding on the old scalper and playing the flute.

As soon as he heard that they were going to pick mulberries, Niu Zhanyi also came over.

The muddy ground under the mulberry tree was also full of purple mulberries, and birds were pecking at them. When they saw someone coming, they flew into the tree.

Mao Xi and Niu Sanhua opened a big cloth under the tree. Niu Zhanyi held a long stick and shook the mulberry branches. The mulberries fell into the cloth like rain, and soon filled two baskets.

After bidding farewell to Niu Sanhua and her nephew, Shui Xi set off back to Lihua Town.

The mulberries didn't last long, so Miao Xi put half of them in the refrigerator. She took some good ones and put them in Liuxiang snacks for sale. A bamboo cup sold for 3 Wen.

Mao Xi took the remaining mulberries to Liu's fruit cake shop. She planned to make purple cakes with purple sweet potatoes and mulberries later.

Brother Ying saw that Mao Xi had returned with two baskets of crisp pears, so he stepped forward to help peel and cut the pears.

Brother Ying: "Sister Ah Shu, the autumn pear paste and snow pear candy we made in the shop are also selling very well today!"

Lou Lan'er: "Ah Shu, how about I bring some bulk autumn pear candies to Kaitang County to sell, and also do some promotion for the fruit cake shop."

"That's a good idea, Sister Lan'er. You can also bring some of these fresh mulberries."

In Kaitang County, peach blossoms fill the city after the rain.

Lou Lan'er set up a stall next to the east stage and started shouting: "Jingzhe eats pears and snow pear candy. The snow pear candy from Lihua Town costs 10 cents per serving. Fresh mulberries cost 3 cents a cup."
