Just when Chen Yun and Aunt Yun were chatting about fruits, Yan Shuang came over with her maid. When she heard her talk about pomegranates, she couldn't help but smile and joke.
"It just so happened that the pomegranates grown in our yard were ripe, so I picked a few and sent them to my sister." Yan Shuang waved her hand and asked her maid to bring a few pomegranates to her.
Yan Shuang and Chen Hao also planted two or three pomegranate trees in their yards. Because Yan Shuang took good care of them and produced quite a lot of fruit, she could send some to Chen Yu, her sister who didn't grow pomegranates in the yard.
In fact, there are quite a lot of fruit trees planted in Pingyang Hou Mansion. Basically, the green trees in the Hou Mansion are all fruit trees, such as pomegranates, peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, and plum trees. They all grow well.
.
After all, Pingyang Hou was born into a farmer's family. Before joining the army, Chen Feng was an out-and-out farmer. Farming was an instinct engraved in his bones.
Even now that he has become a marquis, he still likes to farm, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees idle land without planting.
The things you plant are either beautiful to look at or delicious, so the green trees in Hou Mansion are all fruit trees and flower trees, such as sweet-scented osmanthus trees. After planting the trees, you will have natural fruits to eat during the fruit season in the mansion.
, isn’t that very comfortable?
It saves money on buying fruits, which is a huge expense after all.
There are so many fruit trees planted in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and some are also planted in the garden. Of course, there are also a lot of pomegranates, which symbolize fruitfulness and happiness. They are planted in the yards of men and in the yards of married daughters-in-law.
Also planted.
Of course, Chen Ruowei also planted them in Cuiweiyuan where she lived, but the two pomegranate trees were firmly occupied by Chen Ruowei, saying that they belonged to her. Anyway, Chen Ruowei and her maid firmly occupied the two pomegranate trees in the yard.
Chen Xun was not allowed to pick pomegranates from the tree.
"Do you have any pomegranates to eat?" Chen Yun's eyes lit up after hearing Yan Shuang's words. She stared at the few pomegranates placed on the table by Yan Shuang's maid. She smiled happily and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you are so kind to me."
very nice."
Yan Shuang smiled when she saw her happy face, "Is that enough to give you a few pomegranates?"
"Of course, what you bring me to eat is not good for me, but can it be bad for me?" Chen Xun said, looking at the pomegranates in the fruit basket and wondering, "Didn't my sister-in-law give me pomegranates? I think they are still there.
Are there pears and apricots?”
"Well, there are some other fruits on the branches in the yard, so I picked them together." Yan Shuang explained that there are many fruit trees planted in the Hou Mansion, and the fruiting period of apricots and pears is almost over, but the branches
After all, there are some late-ripening ones, which happen to be ripe now and can be eaten.
It just so happened that she thought it would be boring to just give pomegranates to Chen Xun, so she might as well give them the other fruits she picked.
"Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are such a good person." After obtaining Aunt Yun's consent, Chen Xun paused her studies and happily sat down with her sister-in-law to taste the fruit.
Chen Xun asked Cuiyu to bring a knife over. After cutting it a few times, she broke open the pomegranate. She also handed a piece of pomegranate to Yan Shuang, "Sister-in-law, you can eat it too."
Yan Shuang did not refuse. After taking it, she slowly tasted the taste of pomegranate with her.
The pomegranates planted in the Hou Mansion have been carefully taken care of and are growing well. The fruits produced by the trees in Yan Shuang's yard are also quite sweet, with not too much sour or astringent taste.
"It's delicious." Chen Xun nodded while eating. The pomegranate tasted really good. She thought it was very delicious.
Of course, Chen Xun had never eaten pomegranate before, and this was her first time, but she also thought it was delicious and the taste was very good.
"If the third sister likes to eat, my sister-in-law will ask someone to bring some over later." Yan Shuang looked at her eating with gusto and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of fruits on the tree, so I can give some to my sister."
eat."
Chen Xun was extremely grateful to her sister-in-law for her care for her. To be honest, the "relatives" she had the most contact with after returning to the Hou Mansion were Chen Ruowei, the fake daughter who lived in the same courtyard with her and could not be seen without looking up.
She is still her sister-in-law.
Yan Shuang is really a very considerate and good sister-in-law. She treats her better than her own mother. You must know that her biological mother Zhao Xuexin's attitude towards her is lukewarm and indifferent.
Although Yan Shuang is not very enthusiastic towards her, at least her attitude is gentle and peaceful, and she is usually very fair when distributing things to her. For Chen Yu, this sister-in-law does a much better job than her own mother.
.
As for her eldest brother, although the restrictions on women in the Great Yong Dynasty were not very strict, there was little contact between brothers and sisters.
She is a newlywed girl, and she doesn't talk much to her brother who already has his own career, so the relationship is not very close.
"Is there anything else that third sister doesn't like? You can tell sister-in-law and she will try to solve it as much as possible." Yan Shuang asked.
She didn't guarantee that she would be able to help Chen Yun solve all the problems. After all, she had her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law, and other aunts and uncles above her, so she couldn't be the master of the Hou Mansion.
But after all, she is Chen Yu's sister-in-law. If her sister-in-law is uncomfortable in any way, she can also help.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with me." Chen Yu shook her head and said. She really felt that there was nothing to worry about in her current life. Even if she didn't like Chen Ruowei and they were unhappy every time they met, she also knew that she had to follow her.
She lives together.
Anyway, Chen Ruowei will get married soon, and he will get married before her, so she endured it and passed it. "By the way, mother asked me to tell you, before you asked Aster to go to the big kitchen to ask Liu Da.
The fried dumplings made by the chef are going to be sold in restaurants and restaurants, what do you think?" Yan Shuang asked.
In fact, when Mrs. Hou mentioned this matter, she planned to ask Zhao Xuexin to consult Chen Xun. However, Zhao Xuexin said that she could use it in restaurants and restaurants, and there was no need to inform Chen Xun. Of course, she would not need to pay her any dividends or anything.
need.
Dividends and other things can be distributed to the third room. Anyway, Chen Yu is her daughter, and her daughter's ideas are hers, and she doesn't need to have any opinions.
But Yan Shuang felt that this was not good, so she still wanted to consult her third sister for her opinion.
Chen Xun looked at Yan Shuang's expression but didn't see anything. She asked, "Are those restaurants and restaurants the private property of the Hou Mansion?"
"Yes." Yan Shuang nodded.
"As long as you give me half of the profit from selling fried dumplings, you can use it as a dowry. You can use both fried dumplings and steamed dumplings." Chen Xun had no objection.
As long as the profits are shared with her, it's fine. She didn't invent the methods of frying and steaming dumplings anyway. She can benefit from it, so why does she care so much?
There were no patents in ancient times. Could it be that if she said no, the Hou Mansion would not use these methods to make money?
"If you want to make money in restaurants and restaurants, I still have a few recipes here." Chen Xun thought about it and gave Yan Shuang a few more recipes.
Although she has never eaten those delicious foods, she is following several hosts with superb cooking skills, and several of their partners are also skilled cooks, so she has no shortage of recipes.
She used to collect various treatments when she was working as a system. In the 21st century or other dimensions where the Internet is more developed, she has collected even more information. She really has a lot of things like recipes in her core database.
