Because the peaches that had ripened in early spring were all here, everyone gathered together in the end.
Dong Nuan and Han Jianglou happily picked peaches, while Meng Rong and the others were not idle either. She even climbed the tree herself.
Dongnuan:……
Seeing Meng Rong climb up the tree, Dong Nuan couldn't wait any longer, so she climbed up too.
On Meng Rong's side, as soon as she climbed up the tree, all the maids and servants were frightened to death. They all stood guard under the tree, but she herself was very relaxed and at ease.
While picking and returning them, I compared them: "Either this, or that, oh, forget it, let's take both!"
…
The little girl never had time to talk, but soon, she discovered something.
That is, winter warmth is also on the trees!
"Wow, Nuan Nuan, you're coming up too, no, I can climb higher!" Meng Rong felt the desire to win when he saw it, he had to climb higher than Dong Nuan.
Winter warmth:?
No, sisters, the peach trees are not that high in total.
Dong Nuan didn't say much, but Meng Rong also knew the importance and didn't climb up the thin branches to avoid crushing the branches.
For such a good peach, if the branches were crushed, it would affect next year's production, and she would feel bad about it then.
Her mother really liked the peaches in Dong Nuan Village, and even joked that if Dong Nuan wasn't already married, it would be better to marry her as her daughter-in-law!
At that time, Meng Rong's expression was frightened. Just like her brother, who looked at a cold and inhumane man, she might as well forget it.
Don't harm other girls' families.
Fortunately, Dong Nuan got married, so lucky!
Dong Nuan didn't mean to compare with her, but the little girl was more competitive.
If one tree is not enough, climb a second or third tree.
Then, she went to the apricot tree. The apricot tree was relatively taller and she could climb more efficiently, but it also had many twigs.
While crawling, Meng Rong found that he could not get down.
In the end, Meng Rong was rescued by the steward who climbed a ladder.
Meng Rong felt very embarrassed about this, and his whole expression was still numb until he left.
But looking at the peaches I picked, I felt a lot better.
At least he smiled a little when he got into the carriage.
Everyone picked them all morning, and they were all very happy.
Dong Nuan also picked a lot here, picking out the small and unsightly ones, and gave some to the stewards and long-term workers to eat, while the rest was given to Dianthus and the others.
The aroma of peach is still acceptable. Although the quality of these peaches is a little different, the fruity aroma is still good.
Dianthus and the others have been very busy recently, because the closer summer comes, the more flowers bloom and the more work they have to do.
Except for the rose water, which was made by Dong Nuan herself, the rest had to be done slowly by them.
What kind of gels, hydrosols, creams, and all kinds of balms?
Because they have a complete mix in their hands, they can mix all kinds of soothing or refreshing products.
The three of them are loyal enough, and Dong Nuan is not afraid of their rebellion or anything.
It's really just that you have two minds, but it's actually nothing.
Many of those ointments can actually be made in other spice shops.
A powerful perfumer can analyze the approximate fragrance ratio from this spice, and then keep trying.
Nowadays, there are some imitation rose water in Beijing.
The reason why I say "imitation" is because their fragrance is still a little different from the ones created by winter warmth, or has a sense of layering.
These are the creations of powerful perfumers who have tried and tested them slowly.
Dong Nuan was not angry about this.
After all, a dominant family is not a long-term solution. Letting a hundred flowers bloom is the long-term basis for development.
Therefore, Dongnuan is happy to see everyone willing to try it.
Anyway, she has made a lot of money. At this time, she can share some of it with others.
Moreover, more rose water is prepared, which means that everyone relies less on extra rose water.
Although this is not a good thing for merchants, it is a good thing for the people of Dayue Dynasty.
The unqualified peaches were thrown away, and half of the remaining ones were sent to Cao's shop and the rest to his own shop.
Then Dong Nuan hurried back with a basket of peaches.
They have returned to Zhuangzi in winter and spring. Although there are not many fields there, the warm winter has moved the saplings there, and they can bear a lot of fruit this year.
Of course, I only planted two acres of fruit in total, which was enough for my family to eat.
Otherwise, you have to pick it yourself and send it over, which is not a hassle.
If they grow it there, they can just pick it if they want to eat it, and there is no need to store it. What a great thing.
The peaches here in Dongnuan are ripe, and the new varieties tried by Shanglin Yuanjian and others are also ripe. They are about the same size as Dongnuan's, but the taste is slightly worse.
There is no way around this. Dongnuan has the influence of its origin, so the taste is definitely better.
However, Mr. Lin and the others are not discouraged and think they can try again.
Moreover, the peaches from two trees there taste almost exactly the same as those in Dongnuan. Except that the tongues of those gourmets can feel the slight difference, to ordinary people, they are the same.
This is a good thing!
Moreover, the process is not technically difficult, and it is easy to promote it.
Master Lin has already reported to the emperor and sent peaches over.
Dong Nuan also sent it over, which invisibly gave the emperor a chance to compare.
The emperor liked soft peaches, so he kept them for two days before tasting them with the queen.
The queen is pregnant again recently. Her morning sickness is not severe, but her mouth tastes bad.
After the peaches were delivered, the imperial doctor checked that there was no problem, and the queen ate a few.
Thinking that His Majesty likes soft peaches, the Queen specially kept some.
However, when the emperor came back, he brought a lot with him, and specially divided them into two food boxes.
The queen was puzzled by this, but she didn't ask any more questions.
After actually tasting it, the emperor felt that the taste was almost the same. As for peaches, it was just sweet enough.
However, after the queen became pregnant, she was very sensitive to smells and could taste the subtle differences.
"The ones in this box are sweeter." The queen commented after eating.
When the emperor heard this, he looked at the food box and understood that it was sent by Dong Nuan.
After reading it, he was happy: "This one is from Zhuangzi, the princess of Zhuxin County, and those are what the supervisor of Shanglinyuan is studying."
When the queen heard this, she was also surprised: "The taste is really different, even though they look similar."
"What are you talking about?" The emperor couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and then motioned to the palace maid to cut another peach.
This peach tastes good, and the emperor likes it quite a lot. It is not overly sweet, but it is not bland and tastes quite addictive.
The queen had just eaten snacks, but she didn't have much appetite now, so she didn't eat more.
But she liked it, so the emperor kept it all for her.
Dong Nuan and the supervisor of Shanglin Garden sent a lot of peaches. In addition to leaving some for the queen, they also gave some to the queen mother, and the rest were distributed to the palace concubines.
