Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 108 Silkworm
Xue Mingxiang is the most elegant. She is indeed a girl from a wealthy family. Even eating from a small stove makes her look noble.
"Miss, this stone crab is really delicious, crispy, sweet, and the seasoning is fragrant. I even feel that the big crabs I ate in previous years are not as good as this." Yunyan is Xue Mingxiang's personal maid, so naturally she can see a lot of good things.
Xue Mingxiang ate one and liked it very much. After hearing Yunyan's praise, he said, "Yes, this little stone crab is very delicious to me."
"Even if you like it, you should eat less. Crab meat is cold in nature and you can't eat too much." Qingzhu had to remind them, fearing that they would eat too much and get stomach upset.
When Qingke heard that the medicine was cold in nature, she ate two and stopped eating. She knew that her body could not be greedy, otherwise she would suffer.
"Thank you, Sister Qingzhu, for reminding us not to be greedy." Xue Mingxiang knew that she meant well and was grateful.
"I'm not afraid. At most I'll have a stomachache. I want to eat as much as I can. Otherwise I won't be able to eat more when I go back. Thank goodness." Xue Luo didn't care. A stomachache couldn't stop her from eating.
Although Qiqiao was her maid and often looked after her, she was a year younger than her. But they both shared a hobby: eating! Hearing Xue Luo's words, she felt they made a lot of sense and nodded repeatedly.
These two people are indeed master and servant, they have the same personality, and everyone is helpless.
Seeing this, Qing Ning said, "Sister Luo, eat less of this. We'll have grilled fish soon. If you fill up on the stone crabs, you won't have room for fish."
Xue Luo paused while eating crabs, then reached out to pick up two more crabs before saying, "Yes, yes, I won't eat these two anymore. I want to eat fish."
Qi Qiao also picked up two. Seeing the synchronized movements of the master and servant, everyone else was amused.
"Drink more ginger tea to warm your stomach, and then you can eat fish later." Qingzhu poured some ginger tea for everyone.
The remaining stone crabs were naturally taken by the four brothers of the Chen family, so it was okay even if the young man had a stomachache.
A few people sat and talked about what they saw and heard, waiting for the grilled fish to be cooked and enjoying the natural scenery. It was so pleasant.
"Oh, such comfortable days. I really want to stay here longer in this happy and cozy life." Xue Mingxiang said with emotion.
"Aunt Xiang, then you can stay for a while. I will live here with you."
Xue Mingxiang looked at Xue Luo and smiled, "I'm afraid I can't stay here for long this time. I have to go back to my hometown."
"Then Aunt Xiang, you must stay longer next time you come, so that I can come and accompany you, and you don't have to attend those teachers' classes." It turns out that this is the reason. After hearing this, everyone shook their heads and laughed.
"The village school in your village should be built next time I come. Then I will have the audacity to disturb you. Mr. Yu Wu is a master of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and prose. Many families in the capital have asked him to teach, but he has refused. I cannot miss such an opportunity, so my grandmother promised me that I can stay here for a few more days after I come back from visiting relatives." Xue Mingxiang's eyes were full of smiles.
"That's great. Our new home will be built when you come back next time. Miss Xue and the old lady can live with us if they don't mind." Qingke and Xue Mingxiang had only known each other for a few hours, but they hit it off right away and got along very well.
"Then Mingxiang would like to thank Miss Chen for her kindness." After saying this, she bowed, which made Qingke angry.
"The fish should be almost done grilling. Big brother, please take it out. Be careful not to get splashed by sparks." Qing Ning saw that the time was almost up, so she started to arrange for her brother to do the work.
Chen Qingsong used a stick to push away the charcoal fire, revealing the dried yellow soil. He then found a wooden stick and used both hands to pick out the whole grilled fish.
Qing Ning found a stone and broke the dried yellow mud into pieces. A burst of fragrance came into his nose with the wind, which was really delicious and tempting.
"Wow, lime, it smells so good, I can't wait to open it." Well, Xue Luo is a foodie, and she can't beat him any more.
"Sister Luo, please move away. Be careful not to get hurt by the heat." After Qingning said that, Xue Luo symbolically took a few steps back, and then stared at Qingning, urging her to hurry up.
Qing Ning shook her head and quickened her movements. After breaking up all the yellow mud, she used chopsticks to pick apart the layers of lotus leaves. The fragrance became richer with each layer. When all were peeled, the grilled fish, full of color, fragrance and taste, tempted everyone's mouth to water.
"It smells so good, come and try it." Everyone came forward with chopsticks without hesitation.
"The fish is tender and sweet, without any fishy smell. Did you make this seasoning yourself, Miss Ning? This is my first time eating it." Yunyan's eyes brightened after taking a bite.
"These are spices I made myself. Sprinkling some on grilled fish, barbecued meat, fried skewers, etc. can enhance the flavor a lot." Qing Ning is very confident in his cooking skills.
"I wonder if Miss Ning sells this seasoning?"
“Not for sale at the moment.”
She felt a little sorry to hear that Yunyan was not for sale. The girl usually didn't have a good appetite, but she ate a lot at the spring banquet that day. She saw that the girl was satisfied with the stone crab and the fish, so she thought it would be nice to buy some secret seasonings.
"Sister Xiang, when will you leave for your hometown?"
Seeing Qing Ning asking, Xue Mingxiang replied: "We will leave the day after tomorrow."
"I'll have someone send over some homemade snacks tomorrow for you to eat on the way."
"How can this be?" Xue Mingxiang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Qingke and Qingning.
"Why not? You donated money to our village school. What's this little bit of food?"
"My little sister is right. Besides, we can't offer any fancy delicacies. We're just some country snacks. If you find them objectionable, that's fine."
Xue Mingxiang said hurriedly: "I don't mind, I don't mind, I just feel a little sorry."
"Alright, Sister Xiang, eat quickly. If you don't eat now, Sister Luo and Sister Qiao will finish it."
Qing Ning made a joke, and Xue Luo and Qi Qiao just looked up and didn't pay any attention to eating the fish. They didn't take the initiative to eat such delicious fish, which was a waste of their time.
After eating, they cleaned up the battlefield, packed up the things they brought, and then headed back.
"Qingning, why are there so many trees planted in this field? What kind of trees are they?" Everyone looked in the direction Xue Luo pointed and found that they were mulberry trees.
"Sister Luo, this is a mulberry tree, specially for silkworms to eat."
"Oh~ What do silkworms look like? I've only seen silk, but never silkworms. Do you have any at home?"
"My family doesn't have any silkworms this spring, but other families in the village do. They should be spinning cocoons in a few days."
"Really? Can I go see it?"
After Xue Luo finished speaking, Xue Mingxiang also spoke up: "I want to go and see it too. I haven't seen it either."
Qingning was a little embarrassed. This silkworm was delicate and picky, and could not stand the smell of perfume or anything like that.
Seeing her struggling, Qingzhu said, "Raising silkworms is very particular. If we gather so many people together, we might scare the silkworms. So, you two can go back and sit down for a while. I'll go to the village and get you some silkworms."
Xue Luo and the others were delighted when they heard this, and they urged Qing Zhu to hurry up. Xue Luo and Qi Qiao also picked some mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms later.
