Chapter 31
If Chunfeng knew about it, he would definitely praise Mr. Chen greatly. In this era of three wives and four concubines, it would be difficult even for Chunfeng, a new woman in the 21st century! What’s more, this is also her life.
The goal is to be together for the rest of your life!
Mr. Chen was not interested in officialdom, and his wife did not like fighting. They simply left Kyoto and came to this remote town to do business and live a happy and comfortable life!
Mrs. Chen gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son was fifteen years old. He yearned for life in the military camp and planned to join the army after the new year. Unfortunately, Mrs. Chen was reluctant to let go of her son and kept him at home for one more year.
But the year he didn't want to stay longer gave him a life-long bond.
My daughter is thirteen years old, one year older than Chunfeng! She practices piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home every day. She is an eccentric person, the apple of the family's eye, and a very charming girl!
At this time, the family of four was gathered around Mrs. Chen's house. Not only was the laughter coming from the house warm, but the servants in the house felt warm in their hearts!
The sun is shining, the autumn morning is filled with thick fog, and the leaves on the roadside are covered with crystal dew, emitting a dazzling light!
The first ray of dawn breaks, and smoke rises from the houses in the village. Together with the distant mountains and close water, it feels a bit like a paradise!
I got up early in the spring breeze and worked in the kitchen all morning. The fragrance wafted out along with the tingling sound, which made my mouth water!
Chunfeng is a loyal foodie in the 21st century. He not only loves to eat but also loves to cook! He is definitely a chef!
"Second sister, second sister, what are you making? It's delicious!" Chun Sheng smelled the smell and ran to the stove, sweating and staring at the spring breeze with bright eyes!
Seeing this, Chunfeng was so confident that he hummed a song triumphantly! "You'll find out later, I'm sure it's something you've never tasted before!" After saying that, he winked in a mysterious manner!
Not long after, a large table of dishes was placed, and Chun Sheng was ordered to order everyone to eat. The whole family looked at the table in amazement. The dishes were so full of color, aroma and taste that they were as beautiful as works of art. They couldn't bear to eat them!
Seeing this, Chunfeng began to introduce it to everyone: This is braised lion head. There are four small fist-sized meatballs on the plate. The color is ruddy and shiny, and there are some green vegetables on the side. It looks unbearable.
The index finger moves!
There is also hibiscus custard, the golden custard is as smooth and tender as jelly, paired with red wolfberries and a few green mint leaves! It exudes a light fragrance!
There are also braised pork trotters and spicy prawns, paired with a vegetable and mushroom soup, so delicious!
Everyone's stomach was bulging after the meal. Even Chunfeng Niang, who usually eats less, ate two more bowls of rice!
The room that had been replaced with new furniture looked a lot tidier and brighter, and a well-fed and well-fed family sat together!
"Now our life is slowly getting back on track, but we can't rely on digging herbs for a long time. Firstly, the herbs in the mountains need a growth cycle, and secondly, if we can dig, others will also dig, so this can only solve the immediate problems.
Problem, we still need to think of other solutions and a long-term solution!"
Chunfeng began to draw a blueprint for the family. The changes during this period gradually made Chunfeng the backbone of the family. What she said was generally recognized by everyone!
"That's right. You two are from my daughter's family. It's not a problem for you to run into the mountains every day. I don't worry about it! Then Feng'er, do you have any good ideas?" Chunfeng Niang also feels that it is not feasible to make a living in the mountains for a long time.
, so I asked!
"I think land is the most reliable thing to have in the countryside. It can at least guarantee our family's food rations! We still have about fifty taels of silver. We will ask the village chief someday if there is anything better nearby.
We need to buy some land!" Chunfeng thought for a while and replied!
"Well, what Feng'er said makes sense. It's just that we have to do it early. It's still autumn. Once we've done the shopping, we can also plow the land. It will be much easier to wait until spring for plowing. Otherwise, it will snow heavily in winter and we won't be able to go to the ground.
!" Chunfeng Niang agreed!
"Well, I'm going to see the village chief in a few days! The roof of our house needs to be repaired. There may be heavy snow this year, so don't let the house collapse!" After that, he looked at the house.
Cantilever beam on top.
"Well! Uncle Yang in the village knows how to do repairs, and his craftsmanship is good. You can ask him when he has time!" After saying this, the family went back to their own business with great expectations for their future life!
Chunfeng was lying on the table alone, looking at the swaying tree shadows outside the window, his thoughts drifting away...
Suddenly, a little bit of yellow flowers came into view in the spring breeze, bringing back memories! I remember when I was in elementary school, my grandfather would take me to pick wild chrysanthemums every autumn to make chrysanthemum tea.
I didn’t expect there to be so many wild chrysanthemums here, so just pick some chrysanthemums and make chrysanthemum tea to drink. The weather is dry in autumn and it is easy to get angry! Chrysanthemums can cool down and remove heat, clear the liver and improve eyesight, and can also detoxify. The whole family can drink it!
Chunfeng worked hard all afternoon and made a large basket full of chrysanthemum tea. She washed it, steamed it, and just dried it in the sun.
...
"Aunt Yang Hua, is the village chief at home?" The spring breeze is now outside the fence of the village chief's house. Yang Hua, the village chief's daughter-in-law, is sitting in the yard washing clothes.
Hearing Chunfeng's question, he stood up quickly, wiped the water stains on his hands on his apron, and stepped forward to open the door for Chunfeng!
"It's Chunfeng, come in and sit down. Your uncle Changshou has gone to the fields and will probably be back soon. Do you have anything to do with him?" The village chief's wife led Chunfeng into the house and sat down. She poured a glass of water and handed it to Chunfeng!
"Oh, I have something to do with the village chief, so I'll just wait here for a while. You don't need to worry about me if you're busy!" Chunfeng took the water glass from the village chief's wife's hand and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
"Hey, I don't have anything to do. It's just trivial matters and I'm not in a hurry right now! Thank you for the eggs you gave me last time. It cost you a lot of money!" the village chief's wife said a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? Our family usually troubles you and the village chief a lot, so what does this little thing mean?" Chunfeng said sincerely.
"Alas! Life is getting more and more difficult now. This year's harvest is nearly 20% less than last year, and it is only enough to barely feed us." The village chief's wife also had some concerns in her heart. In previous years, she could help Chunfeng and the others.
This is when there is a surplus of food at home, but this year I'm afraid...
Chunfeng heard what Aunt Yang Hua said, but she didn't say anything. People had already helped when the family was in trouble before, but now that the conditions are better, it's no longer needed!
Not long after, the village chief came back with a pair of muddy shoes and a hoe!
"The spring breeze is coming? Is something wrong?" The village chief fetched a basin of water and began to wash his hands and change out of his mud shoes.
Chapter completed!
