Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

As soon as Chang Yifei ate this soup pot, he wanted to go to the store. Unfortunately, the ingredients were limited, so he could only wait, feeling like a cat scratching his head.

Liu Xu glanced at him, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then slowly spoke: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We haven't even served the spicy flavor yet. Why are you in a hurry? I think it's too early to serve by the end of the year!"

Mu Lingxuan was more interested in dried tofu, bean curd skin and yuba. He asked Liu Xu and found out that the price was much cheaper than mushrooms.

"Sister Xu'er, can you prepare some of these dried tofu and yuba for us every month?"

Liu Donglai also wanted to say it, but considering that this was his own business, he decided not to say more.

"Why not? However, it's hard to say what the production will be at the moment. I'll get back to you when you come next month."

Mu Lingxuan nodded when he heard that, but Chang Yifei remembered the mushrooms and was about to ask, but the old lady saw it and blocked his mouth.

"Okay, you guys can go to the study and talk about these things later. Have a good meal!"

Only then did they behave themselves.

Of course it’s not that we don’t talk, we just chat about interesting things.

Xiao Yan liked this kind of atmosphere very much. It was unlike the palace, where no matter he was eating alone or with his father, the emperor, and his mother, no one spoke while eating or sleeping. It was too lonely.

After dinner, Dr. Meng and the other two said goodbye.

Liu Xu and Chang Yifei went to the old house with them.

They were going to the county town tomorrow, and she was going to ask Liu Dashan if they would go with her. She remembered that her cousin's pickled cabbage before the New Year was probably ready to eat. So she took Chang Yifei with her to try it, and she could bring some with her tomorrow.

They took a long time to have dinner, and by the time they arrived, Liu Dashan and the others were ready to rest.

Liu Fuan opened the door, and when he saw it was them, he quickly welcomed them into the house.

Liu Xiumei heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. She was surprised to see them: "Xu'er, why are you here so late? Hey, there's Master Chang! Come in quickly!" She then shouted to the next room: "Xiuying, go and pour some tea."

"Aunt, I came to ask Grandpa if they want to go to the county town with us tomorrow. Third brother came to see the pickled cabbage that my cousin made. Please ask my cousin to bring some over."

When Liu Xiumei heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement.

Liu Dashan had heard the voices in the yard, so he put on his clothes and came out, "Xu girl, what happened? Why are you here so late?"

After saying this, he saw Chang Yifei standing aside and said hurriedly, "Hey, Young Master Chang is here too! Please come in!"

"My Lord, you are too polite. Sorry to bother you!"

"Don't bother me, don't bother me!"

"Grandpa, what are you doing outside? It's cold outside." Liu Xu walked forward quickly.

After entering the main hall, Liu Xu said again: "Grandpa, we are going to the county town tomorrow. Mother asked me to ask if you guys would like to go with us?"

Liu Dashan: "You all are going?"

Liu Xu nodded: "Yes, I was busy before the New Year. I haven't visited my mother's house, farm, and shop yet. I plan to go and get to know them. Besides, there are some other things to deal with."

"It's only a few days until the Lantern Festival, and I plan to come back after the festival. Mother asked me to come and ask you and grandma if you want to stay with us for a few days."

Old lady Zhang also came out, and Liu Xu greeted them. Liu Xu remembered how the old lady had protected them a few days ago, so he was more sincere to her now.

Liu Dashan thought for a moment and said, "You guys have things to do, so your grandma and I won't go, so that she won't have to worry about taking care of us. We can go with your aunt during the Ghost Festival."

Mrs. Zhang also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Liu Xu did not try to persuade them. Indeed, they brought few people this time and they really could not spare anyone to take care of them.

Mu Lingxuan and his people are almost here, so Uncle He and his people can't follow them.

"Okay, then I'll ask Uncle He to prepare a carriage for you, and you can come back during the Lantern Festival."

The old couple both nodded.

Just at this time, Liu Xiumei and her husband came in with their daughter.

Liu Laishun has recovered and is now following his wife and daughter, holding a large jar.

"Hey, uncle, why did you bring the jar as well? Just decorate it!" Liu Xu said speechlessly, really not minding the weight.

Liu Laishun smiled naively and said, "It's OK, it's not heavy. Your aunt told the young master to have a look. The things in the jar and the things taken out are the same."

Liu Xiumei brought a teapot and poured a cup for each of them. The tea set was prepared by Liu Xu for the two elders, all of which were ordinary ceramic cups and worth very little.

"It's not good to drink tea at night. I mixed some hawthorn water for you to help you digest food and sleep better!"

"Aunt is really thoughtful." Liu Xu drank the cup directly. There was no other way. The cup was too small and she ate too much meat, so she was thirsty.

"Xu'er, Young Master, I made this when we moved here. It tastes just right now. You guys should try it."

Liu Hongying handed the chopsticks to the two of them as she spoke.

The two of them didn't hesitate and started eating.

"Well, that's right. Did you take it directly from the jar without washing it?"

"No, I tried many times before I found the right proportion for our sauerkraut. Even the old sauerkraut used to cook fish is not particularly salty." Liu Hongying said confidently.

Liu Xu told her what the pickled cabbage in Zuiyunxuan was used for, so she was very confident in her own pickling.

"Little sister, I think this can be used as a side dish directly, unlike the previous ones, which need to be washed many times!" Chang Yifei nodded.

"Of course, would I specifically tell you if the product is not good? Don't forget, I also get my share of the store's profits!" Liu Xu looked proud.

"Okay, take a jar back first and let Uncle Fu and the others have a taste. Someone will come to negotiate with you later. Don't worry, the price will definitely not be a loss for you." Chang Yifei finalized it.

"Thank you, Young Master, and thank you, Xuer!" The family of three smiled happily, and Liu Dashan and his wife also looked happy.

Their children are now living well and are filial to their parents. What else can they be dissatisfied with?

Although the eldest... but now his legs can walk on the ground, and it will recover in a while. The youngest granddaughter said that she would teach him to grow mushrooms, which is not worse than working in the town. What's more, the eldest granddaughter is still working in the workshop.

Having talked about almost everything, the two did not stay long. They asked Qingfeng to carry the jar and Qiaoyu to hold the lantern, and then they went back.

Liu Xiumei and her family sent the person out of the yard before returning. As for how happy the family would be after returning, they didn't care.

Liu Xu did not tell them that Liu Donglai had returned. After all, it was difficult to explain. By the Lantern Festival, when other people arrived, the old couple would not suspect anything when they saw him.

Even when she came to invite the two elders today, Liu Xu deliberately said that there were many things to do and did not ask whether she believed them or not. Since this matter concerned the royal family, it was better to be cautious.

When they returned to the Liu family compound, everyone was still waiting for them in the main hall.

Seeing Qingfeng holding the jar, Xu Ruolan nodded slightly, knowing that the task was accomplished.

"Baoer, where are your grandpa and the others?" Liu Donglai asked.

Liu Xu saw what her father wanted to ask, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Dad! Grandpa and the others are afraid that it will delay our work, so they said we can go after the Lantern Festival."

Everyone in the room nodded, said a few more words, and then went back to their rooms.
