Chapter 89 The semen female partner chooses to farm (39)
In Qin County in the middle of winter, the lowest temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius. When the weather clears, it is estimated to reach over 20 degrees Celsius.
No wonder the summer here is very long. Summer starts in April and does not start until the end of November. There is abundant rainfall and it is a tropical monsoon climate.
As the carriage traveled south, the temperature increased day by day, and Xu Yin had to change her outfit in almost two or three days.
When I arrived in Qin County, I didn’t feel cold even wearing a summer gauze skirt.
“You should go to the south for vacation in winter, it’s so comfortable!”
Xu Yin stretched.
Yan Kejin smiled and agreed: "It is indeed more comfortable than Beidi."
"How about we buy a house here and come here for vacation every winter when we have time?"
Unless the emperor summons them, they will spend their entire lives in the fiefdom. In this case, why not arrange their lives in a more colorful way?
There are four seasons in a year. I live and work in Fucheng in spring and autumn; I go to Qin County for vacation in winter; I go to Baipu and central Guizhou in summer.
It is said that the summer in Baipu and central Guizhou is not as sultry as in other counties. No matter how hot the weather is, you can stay cool by hiding in the shade.
The more Xu Yin thought about it, the more she thought this was a great idea.
Yan Kejin smiled, took out an exquisite brocade box and handed it to her.
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows lightly: "What is it?" It's so mysterious.
"Open it and see if you like it."
She opened the brocade box as instructed and was speechless:
"You shouldn't have settled down in various towns in Nanman, right?"
What a guy! This thick pile is actually filled with house deeds.
"This is not a home, at best it is a separate courtyard."
"..."
The wealthy King Jinnan, while letting his guards explore the various counties of Nanman in the past year, also identified twenty or thirty places with pleasant scenery and built separate courtyards one by one.
Every house deed is in Xu Yin's name.
In other words, the nearly thirty houses represented by this stack of property deeds, an average of six properties in each county, are all hers!
Xu Yin glanced at him and saw him waving his hands indifferently: "Keep it, I will build it for you when I find a suitable location in the future."
"..." Well, this guy is addicted to building houses.
Putting it aside for future generations is to fully explore the potential of developers. Do you want to build commercial housing if we encircle a piece of land for you?
Xu Yin smiled secretly in her heart, happily put away the brocade box, and followed him to this villa in Qin County.
The reason why Yan Kejin asked someone to build a villa in Qin County in advance was because she saw her wanting to come to Qin County last year. At that time, because the cement road had not yet been paved here, and the management of refugees was much more chaotic than in Fucheng, he did not bring her here.
It wasn't until Yan Shiyi, who was sent across the border to purchase fruit saplings, came back and passed through here that he discovered sugar cane in the Qindong area and stayed for a while, completing the task assigned to him by the prince.
Construction started before autumn last year and was completed this year, which took more than half a year.
Although it is not large in scale, it is exquisite and elegant. In addition to the regular front yard, there is also a two-story embroidered building with carved railings and painted corners in the backyard.
This place is very close to the sea. Standing on the second floor of the embroidered building and leaning on the railing, you can enjoy the magnificent sea view of the water and sky.
Xu Yin loved this embroidery building very much.
When you move into a new house, you need to warm it up.
Yan Kejin asked her what she wanted to eat and asked her subordinates to buy it.
Xu Yin thought that Qin County was close to the sea and there must be a lot of seafood.
“How about trying the seafood steam pot?”
Yan Kejin listened to her description and understood, isn't this just steaming all kinds of seafood together.
People in Qin County generally eat this way.
It's just that I didn't have soy sauce before, so I just sprinkled some chopped green onion and salt, and the taste was average.
When Xu Yin went out this time, she brought a jar of super original soy sauce that had been brewed for half a year.
Chop some minced garlic, minced ginger, green onions, pour some rice vinegar and sesame oil, stir with soy sauce and steam in a hot pan for two minutes. Use this to dip the seafood, which will definitely increase the umami flavor to 1 1>2.
The most common seafood in Qin County is clams and oysters, followed by octopus, prawns, crabs and the like.
These are not valuable in Qin County, the ones that are valuable are relatively large sea fish.
Xu Yin actually prefers shellfish, shrimps and crabs.
The guard who was sent to buy seafood came back with a depressed look on his face. He said that he had gone late and had not bought any big fish, but only some miscellaneous fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish.
When Xu Yin saw the baskets he brought back, she was happy: "These are very good! If you had not bought these, but brought back a few fish, you would have lost more than you gained!"
Seeing how happy she was, Yan Kejin asked curiously: "These don't have much meat in them. Will they taste better if they are steamed?"
"Of course! Seafood is what you eat because it's delicious! What's so delicious about meat!"
"..."
From the prince to the guards, no one believed what she said.
They all thought she was comforting them.
"The princess is so kind-hearted, she didn't even scold me for doing this."
The guard who didn't buy any fish wiped the red corners of his eyes.
The other guards looked in agreement: "I heard that the princess has never beaten or scolded her servants. This is the first time I have seen such a reasonable master."
"Who says it's not the case! Although we also come from the Zhongding House, we follow the prince and serve the royal family. If the masters are in a bad mood, it is natural for them to beat and scold us. But in fact, from leaving Beijing to
Now, not only have I never been scolded, but I also receive rewards every day. After the establishment of the escort bureau, I asked my brother who was a escort to help carry a lot of rewards home from the masters, which made the old lady at home very happy..."
"I sent it too, hehe... My father also asked a brother from the escort agency to send a letter, asking me if something had happened and why there were so many good things, like brown sugar, white sugar, and soy sauce. Is it possible to buy them in the market?
They were afraid that I would betray the Lord, so they scolded me in the letter and laughed me to death..."
"Don't mention it, my mother also asked the brothers from the escort agency to send a letter asking me if I have been hungry and haven't had enough to eat? Otherwise, where would I get the money to pay for all this?"
"..."
The guards who were not on duty were squatting together and chatting.
The guards on duty looked at their noses and their noses, not daring to look at (no eyes at) their master, like a hard-working little bee, diligently surrounding the princess, handing her this and that.
Xu Yin mixed the dipping sauce and the oysters were almost ready to be steamed. She asked the maid who was accompanying her to pick green vegetables and take down the steamer.
"Eat this first, and steam the others for a while."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Neither of them minds eating in the kitchen, which is big enough anyway.
Xu Yin left eight oysters for the two of them, and let the maids and guards divide the rest.
Yan Kejin imitated her way of eating, prying out the oyster meat, dipping it in the sauce, and putting it into his mouth.
"Well……"
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"fresh!"
Just fresh!
Such fresh oysters must be eaten this way to retain their original flavor.
It's also delicious steamed with garlic, but Xu Yin still prefers to steam it and eat it with her own sauce, so as to retain the freshness of the seafood without feeling too bland.
Between the two of us, one for you and one for me, we quickly finished the eight oysters.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have left so much for them."
Yan Kejin smacked her mouth, not satisfied.
Xu Yin laughed. It was rare to see his childish side.
"There are other things. If you eat too much of this, you won't be able to eat anything else. Moreover, this food is nutritious, but it is cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for your stomach."
Taking advantage of the time, the shrimps, crabs, and clams in the steamer are now cooked.
The miscellaneous fish stewed in the large iron pot will be simmered for a while on low heat.
"Let's eat these first."
Three-eyed swimming crab, large prawns, and a pot full of clams.
Xu Yin still left most of it aside for Cai Qing to take the points.
By the time the fish was stewed in the pot, Yan Kejin had already finished two crabs, a pile of clams and shrimps.
"Try the miscellaneous fish, the taste will not be worse than those big fish meat."
Xu Yin served him a bowl of fish with a bright and delicious soup, using the fresh soy sauce she made herself.
The guard also asked Caiqing to send a basin.
Qinxian Biyuan Hotpot Banquet ended successfully with everyone calling it "fresh", "delicious" and "delicious".
From Yan Kejin down to the guards, their impression of shellfish and miscellaneous fish as "unpalatable" has completely changed.
The next day, Yan Kejin accompanied Xu Yin to the beach.
By this time, it was already past the time to catch the sea, and there was no one at the beach.
Because the guards were following behind, Xu Yin did not take off her shoes and walked barefoot on the beach, but it did not hinder her happy mood.
While walking leisurely on the dry beach in winter, I squatted down and picked up a conch shell, which was a rare light pink color in later generations.
Yan Kejin walked beside her, and when she saw a long string of footprints left behind the two of them, she raised her eyebrows and deliberately made a splay to wrap Xu Yin's footprints in the middle.
I saw all the guards looking at the sky, looking at the sea, and counting the seabirds flying by, but they just didn't dare to look directly at their master's menacing actions.
He also didn't dare to follow him closely, for fear of trampling on his footprints and provoking the glare of his master.
