Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Hearing her soft and tender voice, Mu Chenyi was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that she would care about his health. There was an unclear meaning flashing in his deep eyes.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. "Don't worry, Miss Xia. I'm fine."

Xia Zixuan was shaken by his sudden smile. She concealed the strange feeling in her heart and handed him two branches. "Use this branch, otherwise the thorns will prick your hand."

Mu Chenyi looked at her and said gently, "Okay, thank you."

Su Baiyu looked at the person who walked to Xia Zixuan's side and thought to himself, it seems that Ayi is really moved this time. Alas, I don't know whether Miss Xia has reached the age of marriage.

Forget it, let him be! As long as Ayi is happy, I believe that my aunt and the others will also like Miss Xia. After all, Miss Xia is also very good, and when she grows high-yield crops, I believe my uncle will give her a great credit.

Shaking his head and putting these things aside for the time being, he also found two branches, squatted down and helped pick up the thorn balls.

There is strength in numbers, and this is no mere saying. It took Xia Zixuan and her friends one hour to fill up five backpacks, and five bags as well.

The things picked up in the backpack were all burrs removed, so it took so long to fill it up.

Xia Zixuan stood up and clapped her hands, then looked at everyone and said, "Okay, we've picked up enough chestnuts, let's go back now! I'll make you some sugar-roasted chestnuts later. Mr. Mu, how are you now? Are you feeling unwell?"

But I can't let the heat poison relapse just because I help her pick some chestnuts.

When Mu Chenyi heard that she still cared about him, the corners of his lips curled up and he said in a good mood: "Nothing, Miss Xia, let's go now!"

Xia Zixuan looked at him. What was he laughing at? Didn't he know how good-looking he looked when he laughed?

Her ears felt a little hot as she said, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me... us!"

Seeing her like this, Mu Chenyi's eyes softened, "Okay."

Xia Zixuan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so she turned around and said, "Jinghe, are you guys done packing? We need to go back."

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Mu Chenyi stopped smiling and ordered, "Yingyi, go prepare some gifts and take them to Miss Xia's house later."

After all, it was their first visit, so there was no reason for them to come empty-handed.

Then he said: "Ying Er, Ying San, go and help Miss Xia and the others take the chestnuts back."

"Yes, master." The three of them responded and took action separately.

Ying San pulled Ying Er towards Xia Zixuan, "Miss Xia, let's help get it."

"Thank you, let's go this way today! I remember there is a persimmon tree ahead!" Xia Zixuan said, pointing in a direction.

Su Baiyu asked: "Miss Xia, what are these persimmons? Can they be eaten?"

"Yes, Mr. Su, persimmons have the effect of moistening the lungs and promoting the production of body fluids. Of course, they are not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, and those who are weak and sickly. Also, be careful not to eat them after drinking alcohol. Oh, and don't eat them with radishes."

Mu Chenyi looked at the person who was talking with gentle eyes, and the smile on the corners of his mouth deepened.

"It turns out there are so many taboos about eating!"

"Yeah! So it's better to understand what you are familiar with before eating it."

As they were talking, they came to the persimmon tree. Looking at the orange-red persimmons hanging on the branches, like small lanterns, they made people want to pick them and taste them.

"This is a persimmon. Pick some and try them yourself!"

As she spoke, she reached out and picked one, gently breaking open a persimmon, the sweet smell came to her face, and handed the other half to Mu Chenyi, "Mr. Mu, I don't know if you can eat it, you'd better eat a little first!"

After saying that, she took the other half in her hand and took a bite. The sweet and soft persimmon flesh and the sweet juice kept drilling into her mouth. "Mm, it's really delicious."

Mu Chenyi looked at the half persimmon in his hand, then looked at Xia Zixuan who was eating with a satisfied look on her face. He chuckled and followed her example, picking up the persimmon and taking a bite. It was a little astringent when it put into his mouth, but after tasting it carefully, he found that the flesh was sweet and juicy, with a unique fragrance and a good taste.

Su Baiyu ate a few persimmons in a row and said, "Miss Xia, these persimmons are really delicious. This is the first time I have tasted such a sweet flavor."

"Mr. Su likes to eat them, so you can pick some and take them back, but don't eat too much every day."

"Also, ripe persimmons can only be stored for about three days at most, so they should not be kept for too long."

"Then, it would be a shame to waste such delicious persimmons!" Su Baiyu felt a pain on his face. It was such a pity that so many delicious persimmons were spoiled.

Xia Zixuan suddenly thought that persimmon cakes can be stored for a long time, but that is in modern times. There were no refrigerators in ancient times, and not every family had an ice cellar, so persimmon cakes can usually only be stored for about three months!

She looked at Su Baiyu, who looked distressed, and said, "Mr. Su, you can ask someone to pick all the persimmons. I will help you make persimmon cakes, which can be preserved for about three months."
