Miss Jiguo

"Go and farm."

Ji Guomi pondered the deep meaning of this sentence with a puzzled expression.

The unique snacks are soft and waxy, the white fruits cut into small pieces are crisp and delicious, the bright red wild berries are full of juice, and the amber honey is a feast only a few times a year, and the mellow sweetness dances directly on the tip of the tongue.

In this era when material resources are somewhat scarce, there are only a few sweet foods, and even the precious little girls who inherit the country can hardly satisfy their own appetites, and even become a source of sweetness for others to secretly talk about.

It is good to be self-sufficient and get the sweetness you want without restriction, but as the lady of the lord's family, she is usually the one who cares about food and work. She really didn't know where it came from.

Did it just pop out of the ground?

The girl was puzzled as she looked at the wanton growth of vegetation in the courtyard.

What to plant, how to plant it?

Mi throws the new question to Yuanyi, but this child blessed by heaven is not omnipotent, and Yuanyi doesn't know.

The two of them could only sit there, fantasizing, brainstorming, and then passed the problem to Yan Sheng who had just finished class.

"Do you know how to farm?"

This question shook Yan Sheng's mind severely, causing him to look at his younger brother in disbelief before he had time to say hello to his younger sister.

"I do not know……"

"What's the matter, is Yuanyi good at farming?!"

The gods are so unfair!

He obviously hasn't even stepped out of the yard!

Not really.

In the field of crops, the knowledge gaps of the three brothers and sisters are equal.

"Then I can learn! I can help you ask questions!"

If Yuan doesn't know it, Yan Sheng must learn it first.

With a stern face, Ji Guoyan Sheng hurriedly threw the question to his personal servant "A Xi".

The man who can take care of the eldest son is naturally a very astute character, but within a long time, he got the answer his master wanted from the servant in charge of the ingredients in the courtyard.In front of the pearl of the country, put on a polite appearance, use poetic words, try your best to explain every dessert that Mi likes in detail, and try to show the "artisan spirit" that the servants uphold in terms of ingredients .

"It's like this. As for the raw material of water caramel, we use the most plump ears of wheat in the season, and then the most skillful girl in the village removes the chaff for it, and then soaks it in spring water. Whether the spring water here is sweet and clear is very important! After that we'll sprout two or three more times..."

"The quality of honey is actually determined by the distribution of flowers in the vicinity. We believe that compared to pure single nectar, honey with a certain degree of doping will produce a unique flavor. For example, the proportion of these five flowers in our ancestors... "

"Your favorite sweet potato, also called white jicama, we specially selected the one with the most perfect shape in the field, and ensured that the shape is the standard six petals, cut into even small pieces, in order to have a more lovely feeling, We carefully polished it into a small ball shape, I don’t know if you have noticed? Next we want to improve it into a bunny shape!”

"Gangge soup is actually brewed by grinding the tubers of kudzu. This kind of plant... and in order to achieve a satisfactory jelly-like effect, the water temperature and stirring strength are very important..."

In the process of Ah Xi's endless chatter, Ji Guomi's ruddy and cute little face turned white visibly, "What? What are you talking about?" "Wait, where did it go? What are you going to do next? "Countless questions filled her little head, making her wish to close her eyes and forget her previous wishes, and Xianyu lived happily ever after

At the last second before the complicated amount of knowledge mercilessly extinguished the small flame of her interest, finally, the unbearable Ji Guoyansheng interrupted Ah Xie's explanation with a wave of his hand.

Keep it simple, keep it simple in the way you speak.

Under Yansheng's gaze, Ah Xi finally understood the key point that Miss wanted to plant on her own initiative.

So the man rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and came up with an idea with a smile.

"Oh, sorry for being stupid."

"It's spring now, and it's the season for planting jicama. It's easy to plant and grow without attracting insects. In summer, dig it out of the soil, peel it and cut it into small pieces, and then eat it."

"If Miss is willing to wait a little longer, the villain can get you a suitable seed right now."

The man said with a smile, and as expected, he got the girl's expectant eyes.

Then he cast his eyes on Yuanyi, and extended an invitation to the silent boy.

"Master Yuanyi, would you like to work with the villain? As a young lady, the elder brother must know her preferences better?"

"And there might be something else that interests you."

As a servant, he had already talked enough in front of Mi today.

There's no way, after all, he bears the expectation of "be sure to convey their efforts to the young lady" from everyone in the back kitchen, and which man can resist the temptation to stay in front of her for a while longer?

And now is his chance to atone for his sins, and leave the alone time to his master.

Yansheng's expression of hesitant to speak while looking at Mimi was too obvious, Yuan blinked and accepted Axie's invitation.

Yuanyi's departure gave Yan Sheng, who had been tense all the time, finally a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at his younger sister who was looking forward to farming, and his eyes were full of complexity.

Is it still too little? The resources I have as a child are too scarce, so that the noble lady in the family even has the idea of ​​farming by herself. This situation makes Yan Sheng feel a little humiliated. In the previous kendo incident, he was almost swallowed up by his self-denial.

He hurried over just to say something to his sister——

"I will continue to work hard."

He would go to see her every day after lunch, and he began to look forward to the last sword swing practice, jumped for joy the moment it was announced, and couldn't help smiling when walking on the road.

want to see her...

He just wants to prove that "I am not worse than others", "I am the kind of persistent person", "I am also a good brother", "I will never disappoint my sister's expectations", "Because you gave me a chance, I You must take good care of the "what...

But now seeing his younger sister's innocent smile, and recalling the confiding and hugging under the moon, he suddenly felt a bitter sourness.

I don't just...

Don't you just want to act like a baby to her...

This was really embarrassing, so Yansheng said "I" and stopped talking. The hand that was stretched out also stopped in mid-air hesitantly, and the hands failed to be retracted after all.

Mi gently hugged Yansheng's palm into her arms, as if she was afraid of hurting him, she carefully touched his fingertips with her fingertips, and chatted with her brother as usual.

"Great, the blood bubbles on my hand have disappeared."

"If you become a cocoon, you won't be in pain when practicing swords in the future."

The long-term hard work and hard work have left the boy's palms covered with blood blisters, and the blood stains even stained the hilt of the sword. The bamboo sword that was brushed and stained by the palm was replaced every few days. Until now, the hands are covered with calluses. It was rougher than Yuanyi's palm.

Those hands were not pretty at all, but they became cherished treasures in the girl's hands, as if empathizing with Yan Sheng's pain, she would show a little sad expression when she touched him.

But the efforts made for the dream do not need to be sympathized with.

So the girl just smiled and touched his palm, happily showing Yansheng her new discovery.

"My brother's palm has grown bigger."

"It's already bigger than my hand."

We're just kids.

You will grow taller than that teacher, you must be more handsome than him, and you can easily beat him too.

We are only children now.

Wait a minute.

Compared with a genius born like this, a boy with a little talent needs opportunities and time.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"I'll keep watching..."

The "brother" got stuck in Mi's mouth, she looked at the boy who was drooping in front of her, thought for a while, and chose to call out his name directly.

"I will always watch Iwakatsu."

Since I could remember, this was the first time my younger sister called out her own name directly. It was a little strange, a little weird, and even out of line. He should be reprimanded by the eldest man, so he couldn't help but look up at the girl in front of him.

But not annoying.

Not as the eldest son of Jiguo, but as Jiguomi's elder brother, it seems that he was recognized simply as the existence of "Yan Sheng"...

[Will someone accompany the slow tortoise? 】

【Will do】

I will be with you.

Just by seeing her, you can feel the pain of happiness.

……

Yuanyi did not come back, it is said that they met the mistress on the way.

The mother who rarely had the chance to get in touch with her child directly called her young son over.

Then only Yansheng was left with Mi, studying the seeds soaked in the water basin waiting to germinate.

She can say "take it a little bit slowly" gentle words to her brother Yan Sheng, but she is not so good-tempered when she treats the jicama she wants to eat.

The girl kept in mind A Xie's words that "it is not people who bear fruit, but plants that bear fruit. We should take care of our children with our hearts, pour our emotions into them, and try our best to provide a good environment for plants and accompany them to grow up healthily, so that we can finally Gain something blah blah blah blah..." metaphysics planting theory.

Then when she started to "be a mother" by herself, she showed exactly the kind of monster mother who rushed in with fruit milk every hour to inspect while the child was doing homework.

Asking that poor "child" with a look of anticipation——

【Baby, have you done your homework yet? 】

[Have you made it? 】

You are long!

Long!

You should grow up faster!

She repeatedly observed her small water basin, looked east and west, was undecided, turned around to ask people, looked at her brother with those big bright eyes,

"Is it all right, is it all right?"

"Are the seeds swollen?"

"Did it get bigger?"

"Can I squeeze it?"

She uttered a series of questions like cannonballs, so excited that they seemed to bounce off in the next second.

……

"No."

Of course not!

Obviously not!

Even if Yansheng has never planted land, he still thinks he can't!

"You're too anxious."

Yan Sheng could only hold his younger sister's little hands, which were impatient to be destroyed, tightly into his arms.

Such conversations occur repeatedly among them.

"You..."

It made him make such a voice helplessly.

Before Yansheng was aware of it, he was full of love and compassion.
