Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 130: Tasting fruit in your spare time and observing your aura makes people think.
Chapter 130: Tasting fruit in your spare time and observing your aura makes people think.
In Sister Feng’s courtyard.
The three of them were chatting, and the chiming clock in the room suddenly rang a few times. Sister Feng heard this and smiled and said: "It's already this hour, let's serve some tea and fruits, and try the refreshments brought by Lange'er."
Soon, several maids came into the house carrying lacquered boxes and placed the fruits on the Kang table where Sister Feng and Jia Lan were sitting. Jia Lan recognized the flower dumplings, Bijian bean cake, and candied plum blossoms, etc. Dried fruits.
He has tasted most of these things in modern times, but they are all industrialized products and have a very different flavor from these hand-made products.
What was served was not tea, but sour plum soup.
"I don't know why, but my taste has become a little different after I got sick..." Sister Feng said as she picked up a piece of fruit and ate it, "Try it, this fruit is made by Ping'er himself. , it’s no worse than the master chefs outside, you’re in for a treat, this person would never do anything normally.”
"Oh? I want to try this." Jia Lan smiled and nodded towards Ping'er. Although she and Sister Feng have been much closer in the past six months, this is the first time she has eaten fruits made by Ping'er herself.
Picking up a piece of flower fruit, its color is as white as snow. When you hold it in your hand, a slight fragrance will enter your nose. After eating it in one bite, your mouth will be fragrant, and the aftertaste will still linger on your fingers.
"This faint smell is the fragrance of osmanthus?"
Ping'er smiled lightly and praised: "Brother Lan is a person who knows how to eat, and he is indeed a sweet-scented osmanthus." After saying that, he glanced at Sister Feng, who then rolled his eyes in response: "Yes, yes, I'm a bully." Grass, nothing can be eaten."
At this time, people brought a small box. Jia Lan saw it and smiled slightly and said: "Please also ask Aunt Heping'er to have a taste of my new fruit."
Sister Feng and Ping'er took a curious look and saw that the fruit was slightly larger than a pigeon egg. It was white in color and decorated with bamboo leaves around it. It looked so elegant.
Ping'er picked up a piece and sniffed it: "Well, the outside is made of yam, but I can't tell what's inside."
"Whatever it is, just eat it." Sister Feng picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. Her eyes widened immediately: "Okay, it's delicious..."
"Sister Ping'er, what do you think of this fruit?"
"It's really good... the sweet and sour taste is a bit like hawthorn, and it tastes much more watery." Ping'er looked at the fruit in the filling and asked curiously after examining it carefully. : "Excuse my ignorance, what kind of fruit is this? I seem to have never seen it before."
You may have never seen it before, but this fruit was quite popular in later generations and was deeply loved by girls. People on the island across the sea were even more obsessed with it.
That's right, that's strawberry.
In fact, there have always been wild strawberries in various parts of Middle-earth, but large-scale planting did not occur until a relatively later period of time.
However, this does not mean that the land of China is not suitable for strawberry cultivation. On the contrary, it is very suitable.
Even before Jialan crossed over, it had become the world's largest strawberry growing country, and several strawberry varieties were even as good as those of the "Four Beauties" who took over.
The strawberry Ping'er is holding in front of him was actually obtained by Leng Zixing from a foreigner by chance.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty implemented a maritime ban as a whole, the implementation in the southeast was lax. Leng Zixing got this strawberry by chance a few months ago. Knowing that Jia Lan was very concerned about Western things, he sent it immediately.
Jia Lan was naturally very happy to see something he was familiar with. He knew that the strawberries introduced earlier could be grown in the Shenjing area, so he tried to plant them while letting Leng Zixing collect more strawberries.
Perhaps Jialan was favored by God Shen Nong, and several important trial plantings were successful. The strawberries planted in August have also reached the harvest season, leaving the remaining seeds, and Jialan made a batch of fruits. Distribute snacks to everyone in the house.
"Lange'er, is there anything else?"
While Jia Lan and Ping'er were chatting, Sister Feng interrupted unexpectedly. The two of them were startled when they saw that a whole box of yam and strawberry fruits had been eaten by Sister Feng.
"Aunt Feng, you..."
Sister Feng's face turned slightly red at the surprised looks of Jia Lan and Ping'er, and she burped unconsciously.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and the room fell silent.
"The fruit is soft and delicious, sour and sweet, so delicious that I ate it unconsciously..." Sister Feng's voice became weaker and weaker, and Jia Lan couldn't help but smile after hearing it.
Also, the strawberry taste at this time is still a bit sour, but under the careful care that Jaran specifically entrusted, this batch of newly harvested strawberries still tastes sweeter than hawthorn.
In modern times, strawberries like this would probably not be sold at a high price, but now this is a fresh product. It is not clear whether it is available in the palace, but Jia Lan is very sure that it will not be seen in the Shenjing market at all.
"Grandma, you have a great appetite, don't you?" Ping'er said with some teasing, but more worried, "You didn't get like this even if you ate too much in the past, why don't you hire a doctor..."< /p>
Having said this, Ping'er's eyes suddenly glanced at Jia Lan, and he immediately slapped his head: "I forgot, there is a little miracle doctor here!"
While Ping'er and Sister Feng were joking, Jia Lan frowned slightly, as if he noticed something was wrong, and he secretly used his spiritual sense to observe Sister Feng's aura.
[Strangely, although Sister Feng’s aura is slightly different from before, it is almost the same as an ordinary person. Her aura is even calmer now than before.]
While he was doubting, Jia Lan suddenly had an idea, his expression paused, and a bold idea came to him!
【Could it be!?】
When he came back to his senses, his face remained as usual and he asked Sister Feng to stretch out her hand to feel his pulse.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, asking, and feeling. When it comes to taking pulses, Jia Lan has just started and can only distinguish some simple pulse conditions. For other more difficult pulse conditions, he often has no idea.
Fortunately, he has a spiritual plug-in.
Putting it on Sister Feng's hand, through physical contact, Jia Lan was able to gently integrate his own aura into the other person, thus being able to see the other person's situation more intuitively.
This application method was slowly figured out by Jia Lan over the past few days by helping Daiyu and their maids in the mansion take their pulse.
I once again lamented the beauty in Rongguo Mansion.
I have to say that for him, who wears the appearance of a little miracle doctor but is actually a middle-aged uncle, this is really an invisible benefit.
After all, Jia Lan’s character cannot allow him to kiss and rouge with the maids and girls like Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg.
In a sense, Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu are very imaginary in the heterosexual social circle, because the two almost overlap.
So it's not that Jia Lan wants to take advantage of him, but that these are the only people he can come into contact with in the Rongguo Mansion.
After all, cultivation is not a treat for dinner. The sage has said that theory depends on practice. Jia Lan cannot practice hard alone. He must explore carefully and communicate with Qin Keqing.
But in reality, although the original intention of studying medicine is to cure Daiyu's disease, using the excuse of consultation to confirm his experience in cultivation is undoubtedly the only thing he can use at the moment.
