Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Today I have been drawing and drawing that terrible design drawing. I have roughly drawn out the various partitions, but I am still not satisfied with some details. The paper Cui Changyu gave me is very big.It's enough for me to draw every detail clearly. I plan to use charcoal as a pencil like a primary school student draws with a watercolor pen, first outline the outline, and then fill in the color with paint.

In one day today, the general divisions have been done. The whole site is full of flowers and grass. Those pens, inks, papers and inkstones are placed in unexpected places, such as hanging on rockery, on stones by the water, among flowers under trees, and the section of big tree stumps. On the table, there is nothing on the table anyway.

I set up dozens of gourmet food spots, and basically you can get food at your fingertips in a few steps.What I imagined was the shape of a dessert table, a simple small round table or a small square table, covered with a pink green and yellow checkered tablecloth, and a few beautiful pastries on a simple small white plate, absolutely beautiful.

I didn't forget the wine, people here drink from bowls, but they had to drink from beautiful small cups at the poetry meeting that day, this is called artistic conception!I also thought that if there are girls and boys who can’t drink, I will prepare some honey, sugar and buffalo for them to drink. There are no ripe fruits this season, so I can’t get juice. It’s a pity.

In the morning, Chen Xiang went to Aunt Zhu's place again. This time it was useless for me to lead him, so he went by himself, and he was quite adaptable.He brought dried radish and said that he would try to make a vegetable stir-fry at noon.

Not long after Chen Xiang left, Cui An, the housekeeper, came and gave me some things, saying that it was arranged by the young lady, and said that I would work with the young master, so I couldn't treat me badly.

I was taken aback, Qingping?

The butler waved his hand and said no with a smile.

I just found out that Cui Changyu also has a wife in the house, a childhood sweetheart who was married from the pulp of his finger, but I never heard him mention it. Instead, he talked about his concubine Qingping all day long. Not very favored.

But I didn't ask, this is the owner's privacy, and I can't inquire about it.

After the housekeeper left, I took an inventory of my things. This young lady is really careful, and she thought of everything that can be used in our lives.

She sent some ordinary fabrics, not a lot, enough for me and Chen Xiang to make one suit each. I checked the thickness and planned to ask Chen Xiang to make two suits for the poetry meeting.I also sent a small oil lamp, a bottle of lamp oil, two umbrellas, soap powder, bath beans, toothbrushes and tooth powder.

I ran out of tooth powder with a little bit left, which is so timely!And the tooth powder she sent is more delicate, with a little fragrance, which is really good!

At noon, Chen Xiang came back with a pot of stewed potatoes with onions, some pork heads, and two steamed buns with mixed noodles.

His little face was flushed, and he couldn't hide his joy. He said that his mixed vegetables were very successful, and Mrs. Zhu said it was good after tasting it.

I said why didn't I bring some back for me to taste.

He yelled and said he forgot!

Tsk, I think it's time for this kid to spank, and then... a light spanking.

I did it on purpose hahahaha.

Chen Xiang sat down to eat with a blushing face, I think he was a little bit on pins and needles.

Chen Xiang didn't go to the cafeteria in the afternoon, he cleaned up at home.

He washed all our clothes yesterday afternoon and stretched a hemp rope to dry in the yard, and they are all dry now.

In the morning, he even took out our quilts to bask in the sun, Ah Xiang is really capable!

Now he quickly put away his clothes and folded them.I was digging the ground in the yard, and we planned to open a small vegetable plot in the yard to grow some vegetables. Ah Xiang had a talk with Mrs. Zhu yesterday, and Mrs. Zhu brought him some seeds this morning.

I don't know the seeds, but Chen Xiang knows them all. He sowed the seeds in the ground, and I buried them with soil. Then I went to the well in the courtyard to fetch water. Chen Xiang poured the water into the ground bit by bit. He can remember which field grows what, saying that there are green onions, cabbage, pumpkins, radishes, cucumbers and beans.

There are quite a lot of varieties. There are not many kinds of vegetables and fruits these days. I haven't eaten corn yet, and I guess it hasn't been introduced yet.

This half of the yard is full, and my post-meal digestion exercise is over. I was about to continue painting when A-Dong ran over. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with Cui Changyu, but just to ask how my painting was going. , I told him that the general layout is done, but the details are still lacking, and he asked me if I have enough pens and ink, I said enough, and he said that if you need firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can go to the cafeteria to ask for it, and he said hello there, I thank you.

I asked him how Cui Changyu was doing, and A-Dong said that it was not doing well. It was really difficult to carve out a color plate with a hand-painted smudge effect.

I thought for a while and said, "Can you try to carve a few more layers, layer by layer?"

A-Dong thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and talk to Young Master."

I also mentioned the matter of the young lady giving things. A Dong is young and talks more than Cui An. I learned from him that this lady Cui Changyu is really not favored very much, but because she is a childhood sweetheart of the family, she respects her as a guest. Living in harmony, Cui Changyu still spends all day at Qingping's place, but the housewife's wife is taking care of the family affairs, this is the rule.

After A-Dong left, I told Chen Xiang about it, and Chen Xiang shook his head and said that the young lady was also pitiful.

I know many families are like this, three wives and four concubines are not surprising, the most favored is always the newest concubine, the main house can only preside over the housework with airs, being a so-called virtuous housekeeper is a good reputation.

Between true lovers, there is no need to respect each other as guests.

Thinking of this, I looked at the busy Chen Xiang, and suddenly wanted to act coquettishly. I put my head on his shoulder, hugged his waist from behind, and asked him to cook for me at night .

Chen Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You can't stand it after only eating porridge for a day?"

I rubbed his fragrant hair, and said: "I just want to eat the rice cooked by Ah Xiang, even if it is gruel, Ah Xiang cooks it deliciously."

I moved my palm up to tickle him, he was giggling and trying to run away but couldn’t escape my arms, we went crazy for a while and kissed again until he shyly pushed me away and ran to the cafeteria It takes some rice and vegetables to be considered an end.

In the evening, I really ate the porridge cooked by Chen Xiang. He cooked the salty porridge with rice and shallots. It was very delicious. The rice cooked by Ah Xiang was always different from others. I still like the rice cooked by Ah Xiang the most!

Our salted eggs are finished, I'm so greedy, but we don't have money to buy eggs now, so we can only bear with it, Ah Xiang said that tomorrow he will discuss with Mrs. Zhu whether we can pickle some and eat them in the cafeteria. I have no objection, but I suggest Duck eggs can be used. In addition, you must remember to bring them to me this time!
