After Yu Moyao's birthday, Xiao Nianzhi went back to work quickly.
As the temperature gets warmer, many of the seeds and seedlings donated from various places last year can be processed and planted in time.
The most surprising thing about this is probably...
chili.
These peppers are different types of peppers that Xiao Nianzhi obtained from the delicious kitchen before.
Xiao Nianzhi identified the varieties of these peppers for a long time, some of which he could barely recognize, and some of which he couldn't.
It may be because of changes in species evolution or something like that.
Therefore, it is slightly different from the modern pepper varieties.
The spiciness may not be the same.
However, now it has just grown and bears fruit.
If you want to pick it up, it will probably take about half a month.
At that time, slowly experiment with the spiciness.
Apart from chili peppers, what surprised Xiao Nianzhi was...
Cabbage.
However, it is slightly different from modern times, but it is not a big problem.
This one is grown from seeds and slowly cultivated, so the growth cycle is slightly slower.
Xiao Nianzhi remembers that in modern times, if he grew cabbage at home, he would usually cultivate seedlings first, then put the seedlings into the ground and cover them with mulch to ensure that the temperature was sufficient so that the seedlings could grow in time.
Of course, if the weather is in the south, there is no need to worry so much.
In the northern weather, considering that the temperature in spring is not high and the crops grow slowly, applying mulch will ensure its growth and you can eat fresh cabbage before the arrival of early summer.
Xiao Nianzhi was not familiar with cabbage seeds, so when he first planted them, he really didn't recognize them.
When I discovered that the seedlings were somewhat similar to what I observed in modern times, they had already grown quite large.
Now there is no mulch, so we can only warm it a little to ensure its growth.
Because they were planted later, they are not that big now. It will probably take half a month to grow to a size that can be picked and eaten.
Xiao Nianzhi has been following these two records recently, recording the other party's suitable soil, temperature, time, etc.
At the same time, you also need to pay attention to saving seeds.
For them, if this new species tastes good, it must be planted and then promoted year by year.
After all, it is a good thing to be able to add a dish to people's dining tables, and it is also economical.
Because he is keeping an eye on these two records, Xiao Nianzhi has spent most of his time recently in the experimental outfield of Shanglinyuan, and occasionally runs to the outfield to help guide the work of the Good Animal Husbandry Department.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't even know how he ended up in this department?
Although, I am indeed the boss...
But, that’s not quite professional, is it?
However, it has come.
Xiao Nianzhi thought, he would quietly make up for the lessons, study a bit, and lend a hand.
After all, it is also the result of one's own department.
Xiao Nian weaving this volume put more pressure on Yu Jianzheng.
That's right...
Shanglinyuan, sometimes you can not be so curled and fell!
However, seeing Xiao Nianzhi busy, Yu Jianzheng felt a little blushing again.
He really can't be too lazy and dawdle, otherwise he will be sorry for his salary.
So, follow the roll.
Ouch, he has old arms and legs.
Xiao Nianzhi really wasn't a Juan, he was just being pushed forward passively.
Yan Xingxuan recently compiled the geography, species distribution, etc. of Ruzhou.
I'm currently planning to see if there are any seasonal ingredients or seafood in Ruzhou.
For those who can easily transport it to the capital, bring some of it over to enrich their dining tables.
Mainly because of him and Xiang Xiang.
As for everyone else…
The queen mother and the emperor's brother took them a little further.
For the rest, forget it.
If they want to eat, they can just find their own way.
The wedding of Yan, the crown prince of Prince Kang, to celebrate the new year is scheduled for June 28th.
Yu Moyao's birthday is almost over, and in a few days, the other party's wedding will officially begin.
As early as early June, Yan Bao's fiancée, Miss Yu, the daughter of the prefect of Changzhou, had already arrived in the capital with her dowry and servants.
Mr. Yu also has a house in the capital, so he arranged the eldest daughter there to prepare for her marriage in peace of mind.
Prince Kang's Mansion also made a lot of arrangements early in the morning.
After Miss Yu arrived in the capital, Princess Kang personally went to take a look, greeted her, and briefly comforted her, for fear that the little girl might be a little flustered before getting married.
After all, for Miss Yu, if Mr. Yu cannot stop coming to the capital for the time being, then she is marrying far away.
Princess Kang had known before that this eldest daughter-in-law had good conduct and was said to have a good temper.
Now after meeting and understanding each other carefully, I am naturally more satisfied.
Coupled with the fact that something good is about to happen in the family, Princess Kang has never lowered the corners of her lips recently.
No matter who I met, even those who seemed miserable before, they always had a smile on their face and looked extremely happy.
Yan Changxia has also been very happy recently. She doesn't even go to the Imperial Hospital very much. She concentrates on helping Princess Kang and busy with the happy events in the family.
Although in fact, there are servants and stewards busy with every matter, and there is no need for them to take action.
However, with someone directing and controlling the scene, I always feel more at ease.
It was the first time for Yan Changxia to learn housekeeping, and it was a big project. Yan Changxia didn't feel much at first.
But the busier I am, the more I feel the pressure of being a housekeeper.
Although she did not grow up overnight, she did feel the responsibility and pressure of being a head mother.
When she had a rare free moment, Yan Changxia came to Xiao Nianzhi to drink dessert and relieve some stress.
As soon as he sat down and took two sips of the dessert, Yan Changxia already whispered: "Think about it, it's really not easy to be a master!"
In the past, she was just a girl in the boudoir. She didn't need to worry about anything, as long as she was happy.
Pampered by his father and loved by his mother and concubine, Yan Changxia felt that she was a little girl, what should she worry about?
Marry?
housekeeper?
Zhang Luoyi responded to the matter?
…
These things are too far away from her.
However, when she actually participated in the decoration, and saw that the palace was decorated with festive red colors, and even the surrounding area of the palace was filled with festive colors, Yan Changxia only realized this in hindsight.
Got stressed and exhausted.
She was just an assistant, but she already felt so troubled and tired.
What's more, who is really in charge?
This was the first time that Yan Changxia truly felt how difficult it was for her mother.
Others may only see the glamor of being a princess.
However, Yan Changxia felt the invisible pressure and responsibility that the mother-in-law had when she was in such a position.
Yan Changxia even thought unconsciously: If it were her, would she bear the burden this time?
