After Mrs. Cao persuaded Mrs. Cao to pretend to be warm and generous in winter, she accepted it calmly.
That's right, we are a family, don't worry so much.
Furthermore, my family can eat it all, and even if they don’t eat it, they can still help promote the winter warmth.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that one tree produces more than one stone of peaches would scare those powerful men to death if they were told.
By then, those people will still beg to come to buy peaches?
Although there are rewards from His Majesty and various salaries from the county master, Mrs. Cao still feels sorry for Dong Nuan. It is not easy for the little girl, and she may be short of money.
Therefore, if the things in Zhuangzi can be sold, she will definitely help.
Mrs. Cao quickly took the peaches back. Because there were too many, Dong Nuan sent an extra carriage to take her back.
When Mrs. Cao returned to her house, the first thing she naturally had to do was report this matter to the old lady.
I didn't feel anything when I listened to it, I just sighed.
When she saw how big the peaches were, each weighing almost a pound, the old lady was shocked.
"This..." Mrs. Cao pointed at the peach and said nothing for a long time. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Our Cao family picked it up."
With Dong Nuan's ability, even without the help of the Cao family, he will succeed sooner or later. If not, he still has a fiancé who can read.
Now, looking at it again, the ability to keep warm in winter is more than just a little bit.
It's better that their Cao family is in good luck!
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but sigh: "Our family is very lucky."
Mrs. Cao naturally agreed: "Sixth Girl said, she will help deliver them to the academy, so we don't need to worry about it. We will keep these peaches for us to eat. I think we can't eat them ourselves. We are socializing."
I send some back and forth to help Liu Yatou promote it."
After hearing what Mrs. Cao said, Mrs. Cao nodded: "You are right."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something again, and turned around and asked, "It's getting hotter and hotter today. Have you arranged for someone to measure Liu Yatou? It's time to cut her new summer clothes."
When the old lady asked, Mrs. Cao smiled quickly and replied: "Don't worry, mother, everything has been arranged. When I go to pick apricots two days later, I will measure them all."
As a girl from the Cao family, Dong Nuan, even though she is an adopted daughter, like other girls in the Cao family, gets monthly money every month. To put it bluntly, it is pocket money given by her parents.
The quantity is not much, three taels of silver.
Every quarter, tailors will be tailor-made depending on the situation. The Cao Mansion is quite wealthy, so they usually start with four sets.
Dong Nuan came over at the end of last year, and together we cut out winter clothes for the New Year, and then also cut out spring clothes.
Since she came to the capital, she has never prepared her own clothes.
Either it was arranged by the Cao Mansion, or it was a reward from His Majesty, and someone from the Clothing Bureau came over to measure her size, and then cut the clothes.
The old lady was also afraid that Mrs. Cao would be too busy here and suffer a loss from Dong Nuan.
When she heard that apricots would be picked in two days, the old lady hurriedly waved her hand: "You can't pick more, these peaches are enough."
"I know." Mrs. Cao is not ignorant. If she didn't have other considerations today and Dong Nuan insisted on pretending, she wouldn't dare to accept so much.
However, after collecting everything, the next step is how to arrange it.
Although the old lady was born as a princess, there was almost no one in her natal family, and the palace had long since declined.
Originally there were two nephews, but when the late emperor was here, he went through a lot of troubles and the two nephews were gone.
It is also because there is no successor in the palace, so His Majesty is more partial to the Cao family, not only because of the honorary concubines, but also because the old lady is the only one left in the family, and she is really pitiful.
The old lady did have a cousin, but she had already married away from home. Her family was a scholar, and they were proud and would not come here to cling to her just for the sake of power, so even during holidays, there would be some exchange of letters and some gifts.
"The peaches are fresh and tender, and it's a long journey, so forget it." The old lady thought of her cousin, sighed, and rejected Mrs. Cao's suggestion to send some there.
If the distance is close, it won't hurt to send more.
But it's a long distance. If you go this way, the peach will probably be rotten and only the peach core will be left, right?
Dongnuan is also thinking about this issue.
She was considering sending some to Cao Xinyao. Dong Nuan received a letter from him last month. The little girl is not very young, but she is very capable of suppressing things.
Furthermore, with Dongnuan’s provision of colored glaze and soap, as soon as Cao Xinyao went to Dingzhou, he suppressed the people there.
Nowadays, she can be said to be like a fish in water in the circle of noble ladies, and her status is noble.
However, Dingzhou is too far away.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as next-day express delivery, and there is no good fresh food preservation technology.
Therefore, it is impossible to send fresh peaches.
After thinking about it in Dong Nuan, I decided to make peach preserves. No matter what, it was my own choice.
But for the newly picked peaches today, Dong Nuan has other plans.
The Imperial College has to send some, some brothers from the Cao family, and Gou Qingyun's brother.
The main reason is that Gou Qingyun's brother had given Dong Nuan a lot of books before, and Dong Nuan reciprocated the favor, which was a sign of appreciation.
However, since everyone is unmarried, it would not be appropriate to give them away directly.
Therefore, Dong Nuan decided to ask several brothers from the Cao Mansion to help deliver it.
Several dozen kilograms of peaches will be sent to the Imperial College, and the rest of the winter warmth will be given to the Minister of Industry and a few good friends.
When Dong Nuan was struggling in the Ministry of Industry, he defended himself a lot. Although it was said to be because of His Majesty's will, the other party's intentions were indeed not bad.
Just a little fruit, just eat it as you like.
The winter warmth was gradually arranged, and they were all installed with cute but not very practical small baskets.
As a gift, it just needs to look good, not like one of your own family members, pretending to be real.
Dong Nuan first went to some adults from the Ministry of Industry.
The likes of ministers, ministers, etc.
Because several of the adults were on duty now, when the winter warmth passed, it was the adults' families who received us.
Dong Nuan was too embarrassed to go in, after all, she wasn’t really familiar with them.
Dong Nuan is too busy and doesn’t have much time to socialize.
So, after the things were delivered, Dong Nuan left with a few polite words.
The other party was probably afraid of something, so he was too embarrassed to forcefully drag Dong Nuan into the house to talk and close the relationship.
After finishing the round, the sky had darkened.
Dong Nuan looked at the remaining peaches, which were not as fresh as the newly picked ones after being left overnight.
So, Dong Nuan decided to make peach preserves for them.
Dong Nuan didn't need to do anything, there was someone at Zhuangzi who could do it, she just needed some technical guidance.
The next day, Dong Nuan was riding in a carriage to pick peaches again.
From a new tree, I picked the ones that were ripe and in particularly good condition, and then drove the carriage to the Imperial College.
Dong Nuan specially chose to go there at noon. The students had a lunch break, so if they wanted to see someone, it would be easier to call them out.
Dong Nuan’s name is Cao Feng.
Compared to Cao Kun, the fourth brother of the uncle's family, Dong Nuan is more familiar with Cao Feng.
