Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

As the saying goes, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Liu Xu thought that if her cousin could survive this, he would not have a bad future.

Even if I'm not lucky enough, isn't she still there to help?

Doctor Meng agreed on the spot and decided to re-set his bones five days later. As for Liu Laishun, he was given an acupuncture first.

The effect cannot be said to be immediate, but Liu Laishun himself said that his chest felt less stuffy now.

After seeing off Doctor Meng, Liu Xu and her mother left the space to their own family, saying that they had something else to do.

"Dad, it's good, it's so good! You can recover, and the boss also has hope, it's so good..." Liu Xiumei's eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't cry, Xiuniang! We should be happy when good things happen!" Liu Laishun patted his wife's hand and comforted her.

The couple was full of affection, but Liu Hongying beside them looked at her brother worriedly:

"Brother, have you really thought it through? Break it again, just in case...?"

"Sister, there is no such thing as a surprise. I will definitely be fine!"

Liu Fukang has always taken care of his brother, and he understands his brother's thoughts. If it were him, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not want to let it go, and the worst thing would be to keep the status quo.

Liu Fulin had already sat up at this moment, his face still simple and honest, looking at his younger brother and sister, with a light in his eyes that was not there before: "Fukang has grown up! Hongying, don't worry, brother will be fine!"

"The second son is right, he will definitely get better!" Liu Laishun was very pleased to see his children like this. Then he reminded them:

"Fulin, Fukang, Hongying, no matter what the outcome is, you must remember the kindness of your second uncle's family, and... your grandparents!"

Even though his mother-in-law had many faults, this time he and his wife both felt a change in her.

Hearing this, the three brothers and sisters nodded solemnly.

the other side,

After Liu Xu and her daughter left the west room, Xu Ruolan went to the embroidery room, while Liu Xu took Qiao Yun to the backyard.

As she was in a hurry, she asked Uncle He to help her germinate the pepper seeds she had soaked earlier. She had to go and see how they were going.

She had grown peppers from seeds in her previous life at home and was familiar with the steps.

She is also a peculiar person. Other people’s balconies have beautiful flowers and plants, but her balcony… has lush greenery and vegetables, with a full variety of varieties…

Germination of peppers is both simple and complicated. The most important thing is to maintain a temperature between 25 and 30 degrees and sufficient water. Fortunately, she has a mushroom house at home, which is convenient.

Qiao Yun led the way and when they entered, Wu Sangui was washing the seeds. Liu Xu had specifically instructed that they should be washed twice a day with warm water to speed up the germination of the seeds.

"Uncle Gui, thank you for your hard work!" Among the servants bought by the family, only Wu Sangui knew how to farm, so Uncle He handed this task to him.

"Hey, the lady is here! It's not hard, not hard at all!" Wu Sangui looked up when he heard the voice, smiling with an honest face, but his hands did not stop moving.

"Uncle Gui, how is the preparation of the seedling box going?" Liu Xu asked as he took the basin and sprinkled water on the cotton cloth.

"The lobby master delivered it yesterday, and I have already filled it with soil. Miss, when will we plant the seeds?"

Although Wu Sangui had farmed before, this was the first time he had seen this method. He was worried whether the seeds would be ripe and if no seedlings emerged, and whether the lady would blame him.

Liu Xu picked up the pepper seeds he had washed, put them in front of the window and took a look, then replied, "Not yet, Uncle Gui, take a look before you wash them each time, and if any of the seeds turn white, come and tell me."

"Okay!" No matter what, he would just do whatever the lady said.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first!" Then he left.

"Miss, can the seeds still sprout after being scalded with hot water? They won't be cooked, right?" Qiao Yun asked Wu Sangui's question.

"Don't worry, it won't be cooked! Come on, let's go back to the house and make something. I'll make you something delicious for lunch today!"

"Okay." One good thing about Qiao Yun is that she believes whatever Liu Xu says. She is definitely a die-hard fan.

Huanxi is also obedient, but she listens to everything the master of the house says. Qiao Yun, on the other hand, comes first to Liu Xu in everything, which is why Qiao Yun is always with Liu Xu unless she goes out to do business.

The two returned to the house, and Liu Xu found some scraps of cloth and asked Qiao Yun to make a few masks according to her instructions.

She doesn’t want to choke to death when she’s frying the spicy sauce.

When we got to the kitchen, we asked Granny Fang and Yan Niang to help prepare everything we needed, and some of the spices were directly pounded into powder.

She was not so stupid as to do it by herself. Not to mention that she was so young and there was no question of whether she could make so many fortunes; another thing was that the people in her family were all under her sworn brotherhood. If she could not trust these people, she would rather not do this, lest she make money but lose her life.

After everything was prepared, Liu Xu gave each of them a mask and asked them to put them on, while Qiao Yun was responsible for making the fire.

Boil a pot of water, pour in the dried chilies and cook for a few minutes, then take them out and chop half of them and cut the other half into sections for later use.

As for the undried peppers, Liu Xu plans to save them for later use.

She put butter in the hot pan, she only put about five pounds, "Grandma Fang, Aunt Yan, I'll fry the first pot, you watch carefully, the rest is up to you."

"Yes, miss!"

When the oil is 70% hot, add the scallions and fry until dry, then remove them. Then add the ginger and garlic. Fry until golden brown and remove them. Let Qiao Yun turn the heat to high until the beef in the pot boils, then add the chili peppers and soybean paste and stir-fry.

While stir-frying, he reminded Qiao Yun of the heat and also explained it to Grandma Fang and the others. The willow catkins made him sweat in the middle of winter.

The pungent smell of the chili pepper made several people sneeze continuously even though they were wearing masks.

Because there was no rock sugar, Liu Xu could only use a small amount of brown sugar instead. She didn't know the proportion, so she could only taste it while adding it. When the aroma and color came out, she started to add other spices, including the ginger and garlic that were left over.

At the back, she couldn't lift her hands anymore, so Yan Niang took over.

As spices were added one after another, the aroma from the kitchen had already spread throughout the Liu family yard, and the first thing to be affected was the makeshift workshop separated by a wall.

The smell was so fragrant that no one could concentrate on their work.

"It smells so good. What delicious food is the boss cooking? It smells so good that I can't even put a needle in my mouth!"

"A-choo, yes, yes, it's just a little choking."

"I ate a lot this morning, and now I'm feeling hungry!"

Zhuang Dani, or Zhuang Bo Niang, was also very tempted by the smell, but she tried to suppress it, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. If your hand gets stitched, we'll be the ones to suffer!"

What do workers care about most? Isn't it wages? You should know that the workshop has regulations. If you make a mistake and cause losses to the workshop, you have to pay compensation.

So everyone quickly suppressed their curiosity, calmed down, and focused on their work.

The workers were appeased, but there were still other people. Just like with the braised meat before, everyone who had time in the yard gathered in the kitchen.
