Chapter 160, the farm meal is delicious
Yinzhen looked at the sun above his head and put his hat on his head. Seeing Tian'er still standing under the sun, he couldn't help but frown: "Go and find a place to sit in a shade. I'm going to go to spring plow!"
Although Yao Jiaxin secretly applied sunscreen before going out, physical sunscreen was still needed. After a "oh", she hurriedly asked Su Yu to help her to the bottom of the apricot tree, where there happened to be a round table and round stool.
Yudie quickly spread a thick cloud satin mat on the stool. Yao Jiaxin sat leisurely on her head and saw His Majesty Fourth Master taking a whip presented by Su Peisheng, so she ordered Hongwang to lead the cow in front, while His Majesty Fourth Master held the plow behind him, and with a "pop", the whip was thrown on the cow's butt.
"Moo—"
The yellow ox raised his head and shouted, pulling the curved plow forward. His Majesty the Fourth Master held the plow in a steady manner and plowed a deep gully into the soil under his feet. Hongwang's work was relatively easy, that is, he led the ox to guide him forward.
It is obviously not the first time that both of these men and women have done such farm work, and they are doing it well. However, Hongwang is young and tender in his skin. In a short while, his cheeks are red by the sun, and his head is covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
His Majesty the Fourth Master looked leisurely and had spare energy, and he waved his whip from time to time. However, the farm work was hard after all, and His Majesty the Fourth Master's back was clearly wet with sweat.
Yao Jiaxin is the happiest person. She sat under the shade of the apricot tree, drank hot milk tea, and ate delicate and delicious snacks, just like a picnic and vacation. She leisurely admired the emperor and the prince's spring farming, and she was like a landlord who supervised the worker.
Suddenly, the landlord had a sudden inspiration and called Su Yu to follow the instructions.
Su Yu's face suddenly turned strange, "Empress, this is not good, right? What should I do if I get angry?"
Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "No, this is what the emperor wants to experience the sufferings of the people."
"Okay!" Yao Jiaxin patted Su Yu's shoulder, "Don't be too slow, hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare! If it's too late, the emperor will be finished with plowing!"
"Yes, Empress!" Su Yu had to bite the bullet and do things, hoping that Long Sui's life would see the meal prepared by Empress, so don't be furious!
Because Yao Jiaxin asked that the preparation was very simple, within half an hour, Xiao Yangzi led the two eunuchs to carry two huge boxes of food boxes and a huge copper pot.
Yao Jiaxin smiled and nodded, hurriedly asked the palace servant to help him up, slowly walked to the farmland that had been plowed most of the plowed, and sang: "Master! The food is ready, you can use some first and then continue to do it!"
Yinzhen, who was sweating profusely and whipped his whip, couldn't help but stop. She looked at Tian'er, who had a bright smile on the edge of the sky, and felt that her heart was swept away, and her fatigue seemed to be wiped out. It was still my Tian'er's thoughtfulness.
Hongwang, who was leading the scalper in front, was already exhausted. He panted and said, "Ama Khan, let's take a break for a while."
Yinzhen seriously ordered Su Peisheng, who was following behind and like a small tail: "Take the cow and drink water."
"Yeah!" Su Peisheng responded, hurriedly stepped forward to unload the plow, took the rope from Prince Yu's hand, respectfully sent the emperor and Prince, and then used his energy to take the cow away to drink water.
Just next to the apricot blossom forest, two large basins of clear water had been prepared. The Fourth Master rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands full of sweat and mud, and instantly turned a basin of clear water into muddy water. Prince Yu was exactly the same. After carefully scrubbing it, he finally revealed his white and slender hands. However, because of the cow, the palm of his right hand was ground red, which was very pitiful.
Taking advantage of the time when the Fourth Master was washing his hands, Yao Jiaxin quickly commanded the eunuch to put the food on.
The Fourth Master glanced at the white marble table and his face suddenly turned a little strange.
Because the stone table was not the delicacies he had seen all day long, but the two golden steamed buns in two large cages, each with a baby's fist, and two large plates of pickles - crispy pickled cucumber and five-spice ripe mustard. In addition, there were two huge large porcelain bowls full of tea - these were clearly two large bowls of tea!
Hongwang looked carefully and asked, "Mother, are these...the food from the farmer?"
Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "There is still some gap."
Although she ordered the preparation of big bowls of tea, big waffles and pickles, the kitchen prepared these were obviously thoughtful. The two pickles were very well marinated, and she would taste them a few on a vegetarian day. As for the steamed bun, it was clearly made of the finest cornmeal, with a hill-like shape, neat and tidy, exuding the corn fragrance.
Yinzhen smiled, sat upright, held the big bowl of tea with both hands, and drank the beef. After a moment, a big bowl of tea was seen. Yinzhen frowned slightly. The tea was too soaked, and the fragrance was gone, leaving only bitterness. If it weren't for being thirsty, I wouldn't have drunk this kind of tea! However, Yinzhen could also see Tian'er's intention. Tian'er was watching me farming, so he specially prepared the farm meal. This was quite interesting.
Seeing the emperor drinking a big bowl of tea, Hongwang couldn't help but feel even more thirsty. He no longer disliked the large porcelain bowl. He also picked it up and drank it in big gulp. Hongwang drank half a bowl in one breath, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Drinking tea like this really quenches thirst!" As he said that, he killed the remaining half bowl.
Yao Jiaxin smiled and served the chopsticks, "Eat while it's hot." The steamed buns were just released.
Yinzhen took the chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun, and smelled it with a pleasant fragrance. He bit it and couldn't help but look like praise.
Hongwang also held a big steamed bun in both hands and took a tentative bite. His eyes lit up, "Mother, although this farmer is hard, the food is delicious!"
Yao Jiaxin smiled. She had never eaten steamed buns before, and suddenly one came. In fact, this thing was quite delicious, but if you let you eat it for years...
"It's fresh, it's naturally delicious. But if you eat it for a year or two in one breath, you will be sure that you will vomit when you see the steamed buns." Yao Jiaxin quipped.
Hongwang was stunned for a moment, took another bite, full of fragrance, it was indeed delicious... But no matter how delicious the food is, it is still a bit ok, and the mother's words make some sense.
Yao Jiaxin said again: "And where can the farm steamed buns and corn flour be so fine? They are very rough, and it is impossible to steam them in this excellent steamer. They are all fried in the earthen stove pot, and they will be muddy if you accidentally! How can they be as clean as this?"
Hongwang seems to have thoughts.
His Majesty the Fourth Master had killed two big buns. He looked at Tian'er and was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect Tian'er to know the sufferings of the farmer."
Yao Jiaxin smiled and quickly looked for a supplement: "I used to live in a farm when I was a child, so I know a little about the hard work of some farmers."
Yinzhen nodded slightly, "You are prepared for these things, you are determined."
Yao Jiaxin felt a little embarrassed. She was just so idle that she was so tired that she was having fun. That was why she prepared such a meal that only had steamed buns and no drop of oil in the dishes.
