Chapter 106 Lu Huaiyang Discovers Sweet Potatoes
An's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty will surely feel sorry for the Seventh Prince who has suffered for so many years, yet he still worries about the country and the people..."
"The reason I'm reluctant to leave the capital is also out of filial piety. I don't want to be too far away from His Majesty and His Majesty..."
Magistrate Lu nodded and glanced at his wife with admiration: "Madam, you are very smart and can see through it at a glance."
"The Seventh Prince must have known that His Majesty would come. Even if His Majesty didn't go to Ye Village, the Seventh Prince would definitely find a way to run into His Majesty."
"Then we can bring in the other crop... If His Majesty is soft-hearted, seeing the Seventh Prince suffer as a tenant farmer will only make him even softer!"
"Is returning to the palace far away?"
An nodded: "My husband is right. You and I are lucky... May the ancestors of the Lu family bless us."
If they wait until the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, what will be left for them?
Apart from anything else, I don’t know if my youngest son can get over his fever…
While the couple was chatting, the bailiff sent Ye Nanyue back home.
It was too late, so she didn't go to Yejia Village.
I thought of going there again tomorrow and asking my mother and two sisters-in-law to make some cake bases and sell them.
After she returned home, she gave An's nanny a silver ingot as a reward, "Mammy, you have worked hard. This will be used for tea with you and the yamen driver."
The nanny had already been told by An, so how could she dare to accept Ye Nanyue's money at this moment?
She smiled and dodged, saying, "I don't deserve Madam Ye's reward. Madam Ye has treated my wife and young master, and we are already very grateful. It is only right that we give it to you."
Having said that, he said goodbye to Ye Nanyue.
Seeing that the nanny insisted, Ye Nanyue did not force her.
After the nanny and the yamen runners left, Ye Nanyue went to Aunt Guihua's house to bring Ping'an back.
Aunt Guihua and her family have already received all the rent and have been packing up to move in the past two days.
The residential land in Yejia Village has also been purchased, and it is said that construction of the house will begin tomorrow.
It is also quick to build a house. Unlike modern houses, there is no need for any decoration. For farmers, they just build a shell, lay the foundation and build the walls. The interior decoration is very simple, and it is a little more troublesome to make furniture.
Ping'an ate his fill at Aunt Guihua's house and had a great time playing with Aunt Guihua's children.
Xiao Ping'an now knows that his mother will not abandon him. No matter how long she leaves him at Grandma Guihua's house, she will come back to pick him up.
So, when he saw Ye Nanyue coming back, Ping'an had a smile on his face. He said goodbye to Aunt Guihua and her family, and went back holding Ye Nanyue's hand.
On the way back, Ping An reported to Ye Nanyue what they had eaten today.
"Grandma Guihua only gave me bone soup and steamed egg custard. My brothers and sisters only had a little soup and scrambled eggs." Ping An said.
Ye Nanyue smiled helplessly. Aunt Guihua's family was frugal and usually didn't want to eat much.
This was because she was happy that everything was going well, and she was thinking about the meat, vegetables, and fine grains that Ye Nanyue had given her, and was thinking about giving something back.
The whole family is good people.
Think about it too.
The original owner had done such a bad thing in the past and had a bad reputation, but Aunt Guihua was willing to take care of her children and give her food from time to time. How bad could she be?
Ye Nanyan nodded and said, "Grandma Guihua is good to you, you must remember that."
"Yeah." Ping'an nodded, holding his mother's hand, and the mother and son went home together.
The house was cold and deserted, with no one there.
Lu Huaiyang didn't come back either.
Ye Nanyue was just wondering when the door outside the yard opened and Lu Huaiyang came back.
The man came back with two gray rabbits and a cloth bag in his hands.
The cloth bag was bulging. I didn't know what was in it, but it looked quite heavy.
Lu Huaiyang said, "You guys just came back too?"
Ye Nanyan laughed: "My husband went hunting?"
Lu Huaiyang nodded: "Yes, I went hunting. I had bad luck today and came back late."
The two rabbits were already dead.
Ye Nanyue knew that he was busy meeting the secret guards during this period, so she didn't expose her. She was also busy, so didn't Lu Huaiyang expose her either?
She looked surprised: "The fur of these two rabbits is still intact."
Lu Huaiyang nodded: "I will peel off the skin, just enough to make a pair of hand guards for you and Ping An."
When he hunted rabbits, he shot the heads, leaving the fur intact.
Ye Nanyan nodded: "Okay, has my husband eaten?"
Lu Huaiyang shook his head: "Not yet."
Seeing that it was quite late and she was a little hungry, Ye Nanyue said, "I'll go cook some noodles."
It’s too late to cook this hare tonight.
Ye Nanyue went to the backyard to fetch well water and let Ping'an bathe in the corner while he dealt with the rabbit.
Ye Nanyue made three bowls of hand-rolled noodles and fried an egg, lean meat and green pepper as a topping.
These are the only dishes in the cupboard.
Don’t underestimate its simplicity, it turns out to be oily and fragrant.
When she was in modern times, she visited Xiang City. This dish is called "A Bowl of Fragrant Farmhouse Food", which is affordable and goes well with rice.
Quick and delicious, perfect as a quick dish.
Ye Nanyue served a large bowl to Lu Huaiyang. Ping'an had already eaten, so his was less.
Ye Nanyan is average.
The family of three finished their hand-rolled noodles with satisfaction. After rinsing their mouths safely, they went back to their room to rest.
Ye Nanyue went to the yard to take a look. The rabbit fur had been processed, tanned and hung out to dry.
The two rabbits were also gutted and cleaned up thoroughly.
Not only the rabbit, he also cleaned up the blood and dirt on the ground, leaving only a faint smell of blood.
Ye Nanyue sighed in her heart, this man works so efficiently, she likes him very much!
Ye Nanyue took out a can of salt, peppercorns and five-spice powder and spread a layer of salt on the surface of the rabbit.
Then add pepper powder and five-spice powder, it smells delicious!
Lu Huaiyang asked her if she wanted to put it in the well to dry out, as it was so hot and she didn't want it to get suffocated.
Just as he was about to get a plate to put the rabbit in the well, Ye Nanyue said, "Don't put it in the well water. Let's pickle it and smoke it. After two days, we can make dry smoked rabbit meat."
Lu Huaiyang absolutely trusted her when it came to food, so he nodded in agreement.
Then he went to the stove, lit the fire, and hung the rabbit up to smoke it.
While fumigating the rabbit, he also boiled hot water for Ye Nanyue to take a bath.
After the moisture on the surface of the rabbit was smoked dry, Lu Huaiyang extinguished the fire on the stove and covered the fire with wood ash. A little smoke came out and smoked the rabbit.
He fetched some water, adjusted the temperature for Ye Nanyue, and brought it into the ear room before he went to the yard to take a shower.
At night, Lu Huaiyang took a shower and looked at Ye Nanyue lying next to him in her suspender pajamas. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he saw that her face looked a little listless. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Nanyan said weakly: "My period is coming."
I just took a shower and found out that I had my period.
Fortunately, fortunately she can buy sanitary napkins in the system!
She thought that she would have to buy birth control pills when she had her period this time.
She and Lu Huaiyang now "exercise" a lot at night, but if she gets pregnant one day, how can she go back to modern times?
