The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

"That's a good idea, let's do it."

The emperor proudly wrote the imperial edict granting the marriage, and felt that he had accomplished a great thing today.

"Both imperial edicts have been written. Please bring them with you when you return, so that I don't have to send someone to make another special trip."

The emperor was very happy after completing his important task. Seeing that the weather was good, he took Qi Rui for a walk in the imperial garden.

"Other people's big things have been dealt with. Rui'er, when are you going to deal with your and Ning'an's things?"

Qi Rui's heart sank. He couldn't pretend to be ignorant about this matter, but he also couldn't not pretend to be ignorant.

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying anything to upset you, I just feel that Ning An and I are still a little bit off, so I want to wait and see."

"Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Am I being too indulgent with you?"

The emperor seemed calm and peaceful the previous moment, but the next second he released the pressure of a superior.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood my humble servant's meaning. Ning An is such a good girl, which son of a noble family in Kyoto would not want to marry her? Ning An has to nod her head. I haven't seen my cousin Ning An for three years. She has grown from a little girl to a big girl, and has different opinions on some things. A few days ago, we made an appointment to go to the suburbs to play Cuju, and A Jian even won a jade hairpin for Ning An. I saw that Ning An was very happy, so I thought we should not be so anxious for now."

"Is there such a thing?"

The emperor, who had pretended to be angry just now, shook his sleeves and walked forward. He thought that his daughter had fallen in love with a heartless man, but he didn't expect that the reason was caused by his own daughter.

The emperor was now a little unsure of his daughter's intentions. Did she want Rui'er to be the prince consort, or did she want Jian'er to be the prince consort?

Rui'er and Jian'er are brothers. If they both like Ning'an, then it would be difficult for him, as his uncle, to deal with him.

"Then let's wait and see. Ning An is still young. I only have this one legitimate daughter, so naturally I want to keep her by my side for two more years and love her well."

"Yes."

After answering, Qi Rui followed the emperor and accompanied him to visit the imperial garden.

Kyoto is located in the north and the climate is much colder than Chengzhou. Many flowers and plants in the imperial garden have shed their leaves and withered, only the chrysanthemums are still blooming brilliantly.

"We have mined so much fine iron this year that our army will have enough weapons. If those bastards come to disturb the well-being of our people again, we will beat them to a pulp and send them as far away as possible."

"Rui'er, I've also seen the sword you made for me. It's a good sword. Now that the autumn weather is nice and refreshing, Kyoto hasn't been bustling for a long time. I plan to go to Yushan for a good hunt at the end of the month. You and the prince haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a good opportunity for brothers to be together."

"Yes."

-

Zhou Mingshu looked at the sun and felt his nose itchy, so he sneezed.

"Saya, the weather has been a little cold recently, you have to be careful not to catch a cold, the medicine tastes really bad."

"okay, I get it."

The persimmons have been hanging under the porch for several days, and the outer skin has become a little wrinkled.

She is now squeezing the persimmons, giving them a little massage.

If the massage is done well, the persimmon cake that comes later will be more chewy.

Over there, peppers hang on one wall, and over here, persimmon cakes hang on half of the corridor.

Standing at the door and looking into the yard, you can’t tell how festive it is.

"San Ya, the weather is getting colder. Why don't we go down to the river and catch more snails while it's still warm? Otherwise, how will we make soap in winter?"

"Okay, let's go pick up two buckets later."

In fact, we have enough snail shells at home. The miners in the restaurant love to eat snails with some beer. They say it is a great enjoyment, so we make them from time to time in the summer.

Our soap is selling well at home now, so I picked up some to make sure it’s safe. My family hasn’t eaten it for a long time, so this is a good chance to satisfy their cravings.

"It would be great if Xiaojie and the others were here. We could go to the mountains to catch some crabs and shrimps and cook them for dinner. But considering the time now, it's not enough for just the two of us."

"That's right. The sun will set in an hour. We can eat crabs and shrimps next time."

"Uh-huh."

After Zhou Mingshu massaged the persimmons on the lower part back and forth, he brought a high stool and stepped on it to massage the persimmons on the upper part.

After everything was done, the two sisters carried the baskets and went to the river.

I have to say that there are far fewer snails this year than last year.

Last year, people in the village didn’t know that the snail was edible. Now they learned how to process it from Lao Zhou’s family, and after adding chili peppers to cooking, they found that it tastes quite good.

People who can't afford meat often eat this to satisfy their cravings.

Of course, how many snails can humans consume?

It’s mainly because of the ducks in the village!

This thing is so delicious.

They look for food everywhere all day long and spend most of the day swimming in the river. The small fish fry and snails in the river become their delicacies.

However, they left some big ones for everyone, and you can still find quite a few by digging through the rocks.

"This is the last meal. The water has cooled down and the snails have hidden themselves. If we wait a few days, we might not be able to find them anymore."

"Yes, my feet are icy cold. Anyway, we have collected almost everything, so let's go back and get some hot water to soak our feet to prevent the body from getting cold."

Zhou Mingqi, like his elder sister, feels uncomfortable during menstruation, so he listens to her advice in this regard.

After the two poured the snails into a large basin, they began to boil water. Zhou Mingqi also added pepper and mugwort to the water.

Seeing smoke coming out of the kitchen, Zhou Mingqin, who was picking radishes in the vegetable garden, returned home.

"Who of you two is free to help me pull the radishes? I can't pull them by myself."

Zhou Mingqi quickly stood up and ran out after hearing his elder sister's call, "I'm coming~"

Zhou Mingshu knew how well the radishes in his vegetable garden were growing.

The carrots are as thick as a child's arm, and two are enough for a dish.

Not to mention white radishes and red radishes, especially the white radishes, which are as thick as their thighs and are also long. One is enough for a whole family!

However, Zhou Mingshu also scattered some modern seeds, such as cherry radishes.

It is the size of an egg, round and cute, beautiful and easy to pull out, and is best used for making pickles with radish leaves.

The two sisters took great pains to push the cart into the house. There were two baskets full of radishes, some round, some red, some white, and some orange.

"Thank you for your hard work. Our restaurant has new dishes."

The radishes in the vegetable garden are ready to be eaten, but considering the solar terms, they can still grow a little longer, so they are not in a hurry to pull them out.

They collect as much as the family needs.

Pick the big ones in the field and harvest them first, leaving the small ones to grow longer.
