Chapter 159 Cabbage Stewed with Tofu

Where is Jiang Zao going?

Cheng Shu's face was full of questions.

She hid in this corner and observed for a long time. She knew that the Third Prince had gone out, but she did not follow him because there were too many people around him and he was riding a horse, so it was impossible to get close to him.

Cheng Shu had no choice but to bite the embroidered handkerchief secretly, and was so angry that she dug a few holes in the corner of the wall.

She didn't know what to do, but sitting back and waiting wasn't her style.

So after seeing Jiang Zao leave, she thought about it and hired a ox cart to follow him.

The driver took the deposit and stopped after driving for a while.

Cheng Shu shouted, but the driver refused to move and turned back.

Cheng Shu was so angry that she started cursing.

The road ahead was still long, and it was very dangerous for her to be alone here.

So, after thinking it over, she decided to move forward. Whether it would be getting rich or failing, she had to give it a try.

She walked forward with her head held high.

At the same time, Jiang arrived at Qingshui Village early.

The place where the dam is built is at the edge of the village.

It's bustling here and everyone is working hard.

You know, they used to dig for food in the fields, and it was difficult for them to have a good meal during the New Year all year round.

Working on the dam now not only earns you wages every day, but also gives you a full meal. It is a good job.

If it weren't for the fact that only young and strong guys are here, even the old people and women at home would want to come.

At this time, Xie Chengjing was sitting on a rock and eating like everyone else.

The rice was thick corn porridge and the vegetables were boiled cabbage and tofu.

If you are lucky, you can even get one or two pieces of meat.

There were several guards sitting around Xie Chengjing. They wanted to stand, but Xie Chengjing asked them to sit down.

Let's experience together what it's like to eat next to the levee.

"Master, I'll get you a few more slices of meat."

Shizhu couldn't bear to see her young master eating such a vegetarian diet.

"No, I'm just like everyone else."

Xie Chengjing was contented.

Back then, he was a neglected prince. At that time, he could only eat leftovers. Now, things are already pretty good.

At least there's no problem filling my stomach.

Shizhu had no choice but to sit down and eat with his master.

As I was speaking, a familiar voice came from behind me.

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

Crisp and pleasant, with a hint of tenderness.

Xie Chengjing's heart skipped a beat and he turned back quickly.

But he saw Jiang Zao standing tall and gracefully behind him.

Wearing a veiled hat, she stood there like a willow swaying in the wind, with the countryside wind blowing by.

Lifting up the white gauze a little, Jiang Zao's white and tender fingers were revealed.

Xie Chengjing suddenly looked down at himself, covered in dust and various mud spots.

It was because of the rain last night that the road was muddy.

It's a little dry now, but the muddy road is still bumpy and difficult to walk on.

Xie Chengjing looked at his broken bowl and suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do.

He stared back and asked, "Miss Jiang was coming, why didn't you inform us?"

The subordinates clasped their fists and were about to speak.

Jiang Zao waved his hand to explain.

"Third Prince, don't blame them, they did their job well. It's just that I saw His Highness from a distance and came straight over."

It just so happened that the subordinate knew Jiang Zao, so he rolled his eyes and let her come over.

Xie Chengjing and others were on the hillside. Jiang Zao climbed up along the path, and the edge of her skirt was stained with mud.

Standing there at this moment, she looks even more fresh and refined with her clothes, like a lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained.

Xie Chengjing's face turned a little red, and he hurriedly called Shizhu.

"Miss Jiang, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll ask Shizhu to make you another portion."

After walking such a long way, Jiang Zao was really hungry.

Sit down right there.

"Don't bother Brother Shi. When I came up, I saw everyone was having a meal, so I asked someone to go to the village to buy dozens of chickens and ducks. I will give everyone a snack later. As for me, I will try the food here with His Highness first."

She and Xie Chengjing were both sitting on similar stones.

Dongxue had already brought over a large bowl and handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Jiang had already lifted the veil and held the bowl in his hand, making it look even bigger.

Xie Chengjing sighed and said, "These foods are irritating to the throat. I'm afraid you can't get used to them."

Jiang took a sip earlier.

"How could I? I have lived a hard life since I was a child. I am lucky to have enough to eat. How could I despise food?"

It was true. She was an orphan in her previous life. She had enough to eat in the orphanage and could even have an extra meal if she met a kind person. But the food was definitely not good.

Later, she lived even more frugally when she was in school. In her spare time, she would pick up bottles to earn a penny. For this, she even fought with all the scavengers in the area. Only then did they dare not to mess with her easily.

When she was in high school, while others were seizing every minute to study, she used her lunch break and evening classes to work part-time. She had the best food in the cafeteria during lunch break, and often skipped meals during evening classes to save money.

Even so, she was still admitted to university with good grades. She used her own savings to pay for her tuition and living expenses. Even the director of the orphanage gave her a thumbs up.

After she started working, in order to save money, she never ate out or attended any dinner parties.

Buy the cheapest ingredients at home and follow the tutorial on your phone.

Just like that, after her conditions improved, she became interested in studying various ways of cooking food. When she had nothing to do, she would watch agricultural and financial channels and accumulated a lot of knowledge.

I learned how to grow various vegetables on the balcony, grow my own bean sprouts, make tofu, and even grow fungus and mushrooms.

Except for the more complicated ones, she knows almost everything.

When she was bored, she watched on TV how to extract sea salt and well salt, and wanted to put it into practice. Unfortunately, she was too late and traveled through time.

Otherwise, she could be self-sufficient all her life.

Jiang Zao said this and did this.

She was very satisfied with the cabbage stewed with tofu, and said to the third prince while eating.

For her, there is no such thing as not talking while eating or not talking while sleeping.

"Look at this cabbage. If it were in the cold Northeast, it could be made into sauerkraut. Sauerkraut stewed with pork belly is delicious, and it can also be used to make dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut."

It was a pity that she came here before she had the chance to teach the people in the North how to make sauerkraut.

The weather in the south is hot and humid, which is not suitable for making sauerkraut.

However, it seems that some salted duck eggs can be pickled.

Jiang Zao's divergent thinking came out again.

Thinking of those delicious foods, she ate more happily.

Xie Chengjing was surprised and asked, "Really? That's a pity. I have never heard of sauerkraut. I'm afraid I can only eat it in the North."

"It's okay. I'll give you the recipe. Ask someone to distribute pickled cabbage in the capital. The climate there is suitable. However, it's not the right time yet."

Jiang Zao said casually.

Xie Chengjing said solemnly, "This is the recipe you researched, how can you just give it to me casually?"

"It's just some food, not worth much."

"No, I can't accept it."

"I haven't written it yet, Your Highness, you're not going to tell me yet. Are you worried that my recipe is not good?"

President Jiang tilted her head to look at him. She lifted the white veil of her hood and looked very charming with a faint smile on her face under the not-so-glaring sunlight.
