Manbao and Bai Erlang turned to look at him, and he said with a calm expression: "Not to mention the large fields outside the city, there are also fields in the city. For example, there are several fields behind Huguo Temple and around Xuandu Temple.
There will also be wild vegetables.”
"But there are many people in the city. Even if we don't lack vegetables, I'm afraid it won't be our turn to dig those wild vegetables, so let's go out of the city." This is just like Zhou Man's family. They have a lot of family members, but they also grow a lot of vegetables.
.
In the past, eating wild vegetables may have been due to lack of vegetables in spring, but later on, their family grew vegetables and sold them, and opened a shop in the county town, and there was no shortage of vegetables at all.
Their family grows the most vegetables in the village, but every spring when the wild vegetables are at their best, Zhou Man and her nieces and nephews still carry baskets and dig wild vegetables.
He thought that there must be many people like his family in the capital, so Bai Shan said: "Let's pack up, take some easy-to-eat dry food and go out of the city."
This is impossible, let alone the Xiao Qian family, even Mrs. Liu cannot let them go out with dry food.
They stayed in the palace eight out of ten days, and it was easy to come back for two days. The family wanted to give them all the good food.
Even Mrs. Liu, who has always been strict with them, is the same.
So as soon as they said they wanted to go out of the city to look for wild vegetables, Mrs. Liu asked Aunt Rong to cook for them, "Put it in a food box and bring a few more servants with you. If you are hungry at noon, you can heat it up and eat it."
Xiao Qian, who was about to go out of the city to find wild vegetables, looked at the food and servants they had brought, silently closed his mouth, turned back and said to his mother-in-law: "Where are you going to find wild vegetables to eat? I just followed them two days ago."
It’s just like going out for an outing in school, it’s just for fun.”
Qian laughed and said, "If they want to go, let them go. You can also prepare two dishes for them."
Xiao Qian said distressedly: "I originally thought I would just go out of the city and look for it myself. If they go, then I will bake a few meat patties for them to take with them, but..."
"Then bake the meat cakes," she said with a smile: "Although the food prepared by the Bai family is good, they may not like it very much. Just bake them a few cakes according to your idea."
After being encouraged by Mrs. Qian, Xiao Qian turned around and went into the kitchen. She took a piece of lean meat and cut off a small piece of white fat meat...
The lean meat was specially brought back from the restaurant by Lao Wu. Nowadays, the meat used in restaurants is better, so it is not easy to use too much lean meat. I think that since there are many people in my family, I have to buy meat every now and then.
Simply bring the less delicious lean meat back from the restaurant, and your family will save money on buying meat.
With my sister-in-law’s skill, she can make pork head meat very delicious, let alone lean meat.
Xiao Qian cut the meat into thin slices and cubes, and then quickly chopped it up.
When the two kinds of meat are mixed and chopped together, there is not much fat in the meat. When the lean meat is chopped, you will only see red meat dotted with bits of white meat that are not particularly distinct.
She put the minced meat into the basin. Because the minced meat was all stuck together, it took a little effort for her to stir it up.
Only then did Xiao Qian reach out and touch his waking face...
While she was busy in the kitchen, Man Bao and the others received Yin You and Liu Huan who came to eat wild vegetables.
Bai Shan regretfully told the two of them, "There are no wild vegetables at home, so you can't eat them, but we have decided to go out of the city to dig them up. Will you go?"
Yin You and Liu Huan, who were still a little regretful, immediately brightened up and asked, "Are we leaving now? What should we prepare?"
Bai Shan waved his hand and said, "No, my family is preparing."
Man Bao: "Shall we carry two more baskets?"
Bai Erlang said: "Please mention a few more. We can find more when we leave separately."
Yin You came in high spirits and asked, "What do wild vegetables look like?"
Liu Huan hesitated and said: "It should be similar to vegetables, right?"
Only then did Bai Shan and the others remember that these two people didn't seem to know wild vegetables. No, they probably didn't even know the vegetables that were growing, right?
Bai Shan took them to the garden, pointed to the vegetable ridge in the corner and asked, "Do you know them?"
When the two of them saw the rows of vegetables without even a root of grass in the middle, they guessed that they were vegetables. They squatted down and looked at them carefully before nodding to show that they already knew the vegetables.
Old Zhou was wandering through the garden, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Dalang, who was walking back with a hoe: "You don't even know a green vegetable, so why don't they look down when they ride by the field?"
Zhou Dalang said: "Dad, they live in the city. They don't ride horses, they all ride in carriages."
Liu Huan happened to say to Bai Shan and the others, "If I had known I would ride my horse today, the spring is just right. It would be best to go out for an outing... pick wild vegetables and ride a horse, right?"
Bai Shan said: "What's so difficult about this? It's okay to ask your servants to go back and bring it to you now. It's not far away anyway. I'm still preparing things at home."
Liu Huan thought for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, I just went back and asked my grandma to say hello and ran out. Grandma was already very dissatisfied. If I ask someone to go back and change the horse, I think grandma will be so angry that she will kill me too."
Catch him back."
Bai Shan and the other three have decided to ride horses.
"I don't know what's going on lately. The lecturers always take up our archery classes and riding and archery classes. We went to Xineiyuan this ten days."
Originally, they had two classes for riding and archery and two classes for archery. However, this ten-day period, each of these two subjects was taken up by one class, so that Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who really liked horseback riding, were not able to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
However, after Man Bao found out that he could not attend their riding and archery lessons, whenever he left the palace for lessons, he would lead Chi Ji to the Imperial Medical Office, and then the palace groom would follow behind him in a carriage.
If the groom was not Eisi, he would definitely not agree.
Manbao was a little happy when she thought of this. She said, "Are you going to take the exam again?"
"It's impossible, it's just spring. We passed the exam years ago." Bai Erlang was frightened by this sentence.
Liu Huan also quickly said: "Yes, we have to wait until June or July at least from the middle of the year, right? It's still early now."
Yin You looked at Bai Shan and said, "Don't you know either?"
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, you let it slip a little. It seems that Kong Jijiu wants us from the Chongwen Hall to compete with the students from the Imperial College."
Liu Huan: "How to compare?"
Bai Erlang asked at the same time: "Why don't I know? Why does sir prefer you?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "Sir, I am not partial to you. Last time, I accompanied you to hand in the books you were punished for copying. You said this in front of both of us."
Man Bao turned to look at him, and Bai Erlang looked confused, "Yes, really? I, why don't I have any memory at all?"
Bai Shan: "...you ask me? I thought you knew how to be cautious. You knew that it was not easy to reveal such information that was not yet completely confirmed, so you didn't shout out. You have been making trouble for a long time. Didn't you listen to what sir said?"
