[Red Chamber] Xiuyan is a little Shennong

During the days when Xue's pastry chef went to learn how to make pastries, Xue Biao basically went there.

After Xing's father, Xing Zhong, saw Xue Biao, he asked him to have a drink with him.

"They cook all vegetarian food." Father Xing doesn't like those cakes very much. It's okay to eat them occasionally, but not so good if he eats them every day. "Just eat them in the morning."

The family eats porridge in the morning, with those pastries, and some vegetarian side dishes, such as pickled radishes and the like.Xing's father didn't like it very much, so he asked Mrs. Zhang to fry some meat in the morning, it would be delicious.As for the lean meat porridge, Father Xing also felt that it had no taste.

Fortunately, the family has made money, so Father Xing has no problem eating like that.

Xing's father occasionally went fishing, and also provided extra meals for the family.He is living in style now, thinking about the New Year coming soon, whether he should send some New Year gifts to his eldest sister in Rongguo Mansion.

In previous years, father Xing sent few things to the capital, and the family didn't have so many things, so they didn't have so many things to send.This year is different, this year the family has made money, so they have to be given a little more, so that the eldest sister will not have a hard time in Rongguo Mansion.

Xing's father learned that Xue Biao's eldest aunt's family lived in Rongguo Mansion, so he said, "My eldest sister is the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion, which is a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence." Hearing this relationship, Xue Biao bluntly said that it was a coincidence and fate, "Speaking of which, we are also somewhat related."

When Xing Xiuyan brought them refreshments, the corners of Xue Biao's mouth twitched when he heard Xue Biao talking about their relationship. The relationship was really far away.

"Do you want to take something to the capital?" Father Xing asked, "If you want, I will help you to send it to the capital together."

"I want to give it away." How could Xue Biao say no to it.

Xing Xiuyan let go of her almost and went back to the kitchen.She had known for a long time that Xing's father would give the Xing family a new year gift, and said that it was not easy for the Xing family to be in the Rongguo Mansion. She said that she hadn't given so much before, so she should give some more this year.

Having said so much, how can Xing Xiuyan say no.

The elders are like this, they will say that brothers and sisters are in this life and there is no future life, so they should be more considerate.

Xing Xiuyan did not deny this, and prepared strawberry jam, cookies and other things early on, as well as some essence, powder, and chrysanthemum wine.Annual ceremony, that is a big gift, it cannot be less, it depends on the person, it cannot be said that the younger generation has it, but the elders do not.

There is also Mrs. Jia in the Rongguo Mansion. The Xing family may not give away the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, but they have to give it to Mrs. Jia, and let the Xing family hand it over to Mrs. Jia.

People like Mrs. Jia have eaten and used a lot of things, so the things they give are even more extraordinary.

Xing Xiuyan also makes top-notch strawberry jam, cookies made of the best dried strawberries, and those essences and powders are also made from flowers in the space.The best thing is to earn face for the Xing family, and also for them to take in the Xing Zhong family in the original book.

In the original book, Xing Xiuyan lived in the Grand View Garden, which is also a case, and Wang Xifeng and others are also concerned about Xing Xiuyan.No matter what dirty things those people did in private and what their character was, they treated Xing Xiuyan pretty well.

Therefore, Xing Xiuyan was willing to give those things to Rongguo Mansion.

When Xue Biao went back to Fucheng, he brought back a lot of things, including a carriage of the Xing family's things.

Mother Xing also muttered, "I still have to ask him to spend money to send things."

"The Xue family has a lot of money. For them, it's just a drop in." Father Xing said, "Didn't he also buy things with us, and treat him as a relative."

"..." Mother Xing's face is not as thick as Father Xing's, she really can't treat this as an ordinary relationship.

Years ago, Xue's family received a New Year's gift from Xue Biao, and the Xing family also sent a New Year's gift from Xing's father.

The list of annual ceremony was written by Xing Xiuyan, and Xing Xiuyan also wrote everything he gave to whom.

Xing has always been stingy, but he didn't stingy with these things.The main reason is that her natal family has always sent very few things, not to mention Xing Zhong who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but the Xing family in the capital. them.

Now, Xing Zhong asked Xue Biao to bring New Year's gifts along the way. Those New Year's gifts were not as many as Xue Biao's. If the Xing family was greedy for more, I'm afraid there would be even fewer.

Xing is not greedy, she will never sell those food, essence, and rouge, that would be too shameful.If the money is in her hands, she will be able to grab some of it.

In Rongqingtang, Mrs. Jia did not expect that Xing Zhong's family would give her something, a bottle of strawberry jam, cookies, dried strawberries, a set of essence and skin care water.

"I'm interested." Mrs. Jia rarely gave Mrs. Xing a good face, and smiled, "Let Baoyu and Daiyu come and taste it in a while."

Several masters of the Xing family's eldest house also got strawberry jam, and the chrysanthemum wine was given to the eldest son, but Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others did not have it.Xing Xiuyan's family has nothing to do with them, so it is impossible to send them all.There are too many people, and Xing Xiuyan's house does not have so many things.

Xing was waiting on the sidelines, thinking that it was impossible for him to take out those things and share them with these people.

Wang Xifeng also got a lot of them, and Xing Xiuyan was placed one by one, and they were all gift boxes.Xing's just sent them in gift boxes one by one, and didn't open them.

After Wang Xifeng tasted the strawberry jam, she bluntly said that it was delicious, and asked sister Qiao to taste it.

"I haven't eaten such a delicious strawberry jam in these years." Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling that Xing Zhong's family still has something, "Tell me, could the good essence in Ruyi Pavilion come from the hands of the younger sister of the Xing family? ?”

No wonder Wang Xifeng was so skeptical, the things sent by Xing Xiuyan's family were really better, even better than the ones she bought in Ruyi Pavilion.

"Maybe it is." Ping'er said, "Otherwise, where did you get so much money to buy those land and real estate?"

"That's right, with such a craft, you can make a lot of money." Wang Xifeng thought about the financial situation of Rongguo Mansion, Zhuangzi sent few things, and said that this year was not good and the harvest was not good.

This is not only the case in the Rongguo Mansion, but the Zhuangzi in the Ningguo Mansion is also missing a lot.

"If you earn more, you can earn more." Ping'er said, "The price is right there."

"These few people are enough." Wang Xifeng held the bowls and chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the small tea table, "The expenses in our house are high."

Wang Xifeng doesn't feel that the money in the mansion is so tight now, but he also knows that the money earned is less than the money spent, and it is not enough to make ends meet.The empress in the palace asks people to ask for money from time to time, and the people in the house ask for money for everything.

You can't wait to sit and eat, Wang Xifeng just thought there must be a way to make money, if not, they went to lend usury.

For things like loan sharks, the higher-ups just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. If the higher-ups want to investigate, it is a crime.

And Wang Xifeng thought that her uncle was so powerful, and there was still a lady in the Rongguo Mansion, but it was just for loan sharks, as long as there was no big commotion, it would be fine.

Xing Xiuyan, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, knows some plots of the Red Mansion, but what is her identity, and how can she prevent those things from happening.She can't play tricks, say that she can figure it out, and then talk about those people in Rongguo Mansion?

Forget it, she has read the original book and the TV series, but she doesn't remember the exact time, or when those things happened, let alone those details.

It's useless to know a general idea, they are unlikely to believe it.Don't say it for a small hope, just go and say those words.If she really said it, she was afraid that others would think that she had a problem, then would she continue to live an ordinary and warm life.

It's winter, and I'm afraid that those frosts will fall on the ripe strawberries.At that time, there were no plastic greenhouses, and the greenhouses of wealthy families were made of precious materials.

At most, Xing Xiuyan asked people to build a shed, using bamboo to build a frame shed, and if it was really cold, put some straw.

At this time, the strawberries are still blooming.Xing Xiuyan originally planted early-maturing strawberries. It is still the season for strawberries to bloom and mature. In the coming spring, strawberries will bear fruit.

Someone in Xingjia Village planted strawberries, but they didn't take good care of them, which caused the strawberries to be beaten by frost.Some people don’t plant strawberries in pots one by one, and it’s cold and frosty, so they move the pots inside at night, and move out after the sun rises in the morning.

When Xing Xiuyan gave them strawberry seedlings earlier, he had explained it and told them how to do it.

Uncle Xu's family used pots for planting. That kind of pots were specially made by them in porcelain kilns.Others use randomly woven baskets such as bamboo and vines to hold soil.

Moving back and forth in the morning and evening, one trip is to move a few plants, and a thatched hut must be built next to the field.But there are so many strawberry seedlings, where is it easy to move them.

Fortunately, the ten or so days at the end of the year are relatively cold, and it will be warmer later.

Before the Chinese New Year, after selling a batch of pastries, Baihua Bakery had a seven-day rest.Xing Xiuyan specially gave some silver money to Xu's eldest cousin and the others as a reward.

Next to the flower field, Xu's elder sister-in-law got the money and sat on the bed to count the copper coins. In just four or five months, she and her husband earned six taels of silver, which was left over from eating, drinking and chewing.

"Come back for New Year's Eve dinner. There is an ox cart, so it's convenient to go back and forth." Mrs. Xu said, "I still have to go back to my mother's house, but let's not talk about how much money I've made, just keep your mouth shut."

That's right, Mrs. Xu doesn't plan to tell her family how much money she has earned, and her money didn't come from the wind.If her natal family knew that she had so much money in her hand, there was no guarantee what they would think. She was not the third aunt, and she didn't think about pulling more from her natal family. She and her husband still relied on others to pull her out.

"..." Xu Qingyi lay on the bed and didn't want to talk, so he came again, but this is also good, keep your mouth tight, so that you can raise your baby in the future.
