Female-to-male: I live on farming

She is really fulfilling her promises bit by bit.

This was the woman she fell in love with.

She deserves the support of her whole clan, and with her by her side, Jinyang will never be too lonely on this dangerous road. If she wins, she will accompany her to appreciate the world together, and if she loses, she will accompany her on the road to the underworld.

No matter what, they are always together.

Thinking of this, it was as if a sea of ​​flowers was blooming in Gu Lanxi's heart. The joy was like the fragrance of flowers, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

……

After Qin Ke returned, the eldest princess' rewards came to his house like water. However, with the eldest princess' current ability, the only rewards she could give Qin Ke for the time being were gold and other valuables. She knew that Qin Ke liked to grow crops, so she also rewarded him with a few farms.

Now that June was almost over, the watermelons and tomatoes he had planted earlier had already begun to mature. As before, he sold them directly to Gu Lanxi Caiyue Tower.

The growing cycle of sweet potatoes is three to four months, and preparations for harvesting should begin soon.

However, he kept half of the tomatoes to make ketchup, and his food workshop is now on track.

The main product of his workshop at present is food seasonings. In addition to the chili powder and tomato sauce that he had made earlier, his workshop also produces chili sauce, vinegar, soy sauce and other condiments.

Especially vinegar. You should know that the most commonly used seasonings for people to cook nowadays are salt, plums and wine, and sugar is a luxury.

The plum here refers to plums, which can be used to remove the fishy smell when pickling fish. If you want to make meat soup, you can use salt and plums. Qin Ke also found that they also like to drink sour soup.

Actually, it can’t be said that he loves to drink it. Qin Ke mainly feels that they don’t have many choices, so they just choose the most suitable one from the cheap ones.

Therefore, vinegar is the most urgently needed. Qin Ke deeply realizes that if he wants to live a more comfortable life, he can only rely on his own efforts to barely restore the basic living standards of his previous life.

The production process of vinegar is relatively complicated and takes longer time than other condiments. First, the sorghum is ground into granules with a manual stone mill, then soaked in water to swell and soften it, and then steamed in a sieve.

The most important process in making vinegar is alcohol fermentation, which has particularly strict requirements. The mash must be turned over every day, and the "timing" must be followed, that is, if the mash is turned over at 8 a.m. that day, it must be turned over at 2 a.m. the next day.

For this purpose, Qin Ke has hired a lot of workers in his food workshop. He also uses assembly line production, and the key steps are carried out by servants who hold the indentures in his hands.

"Is this the new seasoning made in your workshop?" Gu Lanxi rested his elbows on the table and looked at her with his chin in his hand, his posture somewhat lazy.

Qin Ke noticed that her voice was a little hoarse, so he raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea.

Gu Lanxi was no longer shy towards Qin Ke and casually picked up the teacup to moisten her throat.

"This is vinegar. It's the first batch of finished products that have just been brewed. It is used to replace the sour seasoning of plums in the seasoning." Qin Ke opened another pottery jar and pushed it forward, introducing: "This is chili sauce, which is made from chili peppers and other auxiliary ingredients. These are all seasonings that can be used in the cooking process. They can not only improve the efficiency of cooking, but also improve the taste of the food."

Gu Lanxi picked up a spoon and took a little vinegar to taste. The next second, she frowned and narrowed her eyes.

"very sour!"

Qiu Tong happened to come in with soup at this time. Seeing the master's appearance, she hurriedly took two steps to put the tray on the table and asked anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just trying the new seasoning Qin Ke brought." Gu Lanxi picked up the tea and took a sip, and the sour taste in her mouth faded away.

"It's better to let this servant do this. Why does the master have to try it himself?" Qiu Tong brought the soup on the tray to her and said, "This is the medicinal soup that His Highness asked the kitchen to make before he left this morning. Drink it while it's hot."

Gu Lanxi, who had frowned and shown some resistance when she saw the medicinal soup, had to pick up the soup reluctantly when she heard that this was Jinyang's order.

While drinking, he said: "Your vinegar is indeed very sour, how about this chili sauce?"

"The acidity of this vinegar is really good. If the chef is not sure about the amount, he can add some water to it, which can also reduce the consumption of vinegar. As for the chili sauce, it can be used for hot pot, and the effect is much better than just chili."

"But in this case, it doesn't seem like too much chili sauce is needed."

Qin Ke smiled and explained: "In fact, this chili sauce can not only be used as a hot pot base, but also can be used in many spicy dishes."

"Oh?" Gu Lanxi became interested. "Are you talking about other dishes?"

"Yes, I have a few recipes here, all of which are spicy. I can sell them to Mr. Gu." Qin Ke took out the recipe that he had prepared long ago.

"You really don't fight a battle without preparation." At this time, Gu Lanxi had finished the bowl of soup. She felt that the hair hanging in front of her chest was a little inconvenient, so she raised her hand and put it behind her head.

"Since we have cooperated so many times, I am very confident in what you have to offer. Let's sign the contract according to the previous model."

"Okay." Qin Ke responded, and when he turned his head, he saw a faint red mark on Gu Lanxi's fair and clear neck.

It was just below her ear, hidden under her collar. Her hair was loose and just covered it, so Qin Ke didn't see it.

Gu Lanxi probably didn't even notice it herself.

Qin Ke was very familiar with that mark. What he liked most was to leave his mark on his wife. However, later on, his wife always controlled him, so he could only leave his mark in places where no one else could see.

No wonder Gu Lanxi's voice sounded a little hoarse just now, Qin Ke's face turned a little red, and his eyes wandered and finally fell on a corner not far away.

"Well, just have someone deliver the contract to the Qin residence. I remember I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Gu Lanxi looked at Qin Ke's running back in confusion. Yes, he was running away, as if someone was chasing him.

"What happened to him? Did someone step on his tail?"

Qiu Tong was confused at first, but when she lowered her head, she also saw the faint red mark. She pointed at Gu Lanxi's neck awkwardly and whispered, "Master, neck..."

Gu Lanxi's face changed when she heard that. She walked straight to the bronze mirror and lifted her hair. As expected, she saw the familiar kiss mark.

His face suddenly turned red.

It was all Jinyang’s fault for being careless. He was unexpectedly seen by Qin Ke today.

When Jinyang returned home at night, he wanted to open the door of his bedroom, but suddenly found that it was locked from the inside.

"Well, Your Highness, Madam said that you can sleep in the study today." Qiu Tong said softly, standing at the door with some embarrassment.

"...!?"
