Chapter 90: A female mate chooses to farm (39)
In Qin County in the middle of winter, the lowest temperature is around 15 degrees. When the weather clears, it is estimated to reach over 20 degrees.
No wonder the sumr here is very long. It starts in April and does not start until the end of November. There is abundant precipitation and it is a tropical monsoon climate.
As the carriage traveled south, the temperature increased day by day, and Xu Yin had to change her outfit in almost two or three days.
When I arrived in Qin County, I didnt feel cold even wearing a sumr gauze skirt.
You should go to the south for vacation in winter, its so comfortable!
Xu Yin stretched out.
Yan Kejin smiled and agreed: "It is indeed more comfortable than Beidi."
How about we buy a house here and co here for vacation every winter when we have ti?
Unless the emperor summons them, they will spend their entire lives in the fief. In this case, why not arrange their lives to be more colorful?
There are four seasons in a year. I live and work in Fucheng in spring and autumn; I go to Qin County for vacation in winter; I go to Baipu and Qianzhong in sumr.
It is said that the sumr in Baipu and Qianzhong is not as sultry as in other counties. No matter how hot the weather is, it is very cool to hide in the shade.
The more Xu Yin thought about it, the more she thought this idea was great.
Yan Kejin smiled, took out an exquisite brocade box and handed it to her.
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows lightly: "What is it?" So mysterious.
Open it and see if you like it.
She opened the brocade box as instructed and was imdiately speechless:
You shouldnt have settled down in every town in the Southern Barbarians, right?
Good guy! The thick pile was actually filled with house deeds.
This is not a ho, at best it is a separate courtyard.
The wealthy King Jinnan, while letting his guards explore various Nanman counties in the past year, also identified twenty or thirty places with pleasant scenery and built separate courtyards one by one.
Every house deed is in Xu Yins na.
In other words, the nearly thirty houses represented by this stack of property deeds, an average of six properties in each county, all belong to her!
Xu Yin glanced at him and saw him waving his hands indifferently: "Keep it, I will build it for you when we find a suitable location in the future."
Well, this guy is addicted to building houses.
Leaving aside future generations, the potential of developers is to be fully explored. If we encircle a piece of land for you, do you want to build comrcial housing?
Xu Yin smiled secretly in her heart, happily put away the brocade box, and followed him to this villa in Qin County.
The reason why Yan Kejin asked soone to build a villa in Qin County in advance was because she saw that she was eager to co to Qin County last year. At that ti, because the cent road had not been paved here yet, and the managent of refugees was much more chaotic than in Fucheng, he did not bring her here.
Until Yan Shiyi, who was sent to purchase fruit saplings across the border, ca back and passed through this place, he found sugar cane in the Qindong area and stayed for a while. By the way, he completed the task assigned to him by the prince.
Construction started before autumn last year and was completed this year at Mangzhong, which took more than half a year.
Even though it is small in scale, it is exquisite and elegant. In addition to the regular front yard, the backyard also has a two-story embroidered building with carved railings and painted eaves.
This place is very close to the sea. Standing on the second floor of Xiulou and leaning on the railing, you can enjoy the magnificent sea view of the water and sky.
Xu Yin loved this embroidery building very much.
When you move into a new house, you need to warm it up.
Yan Kejin asked her what she wanted to eat and asked her servants to buy it.
Xu Yin thought that Qin County is close to the sea and there must be a lot of seafood.
Why dont you try the seafood stear?
Yan Kejin listened to her description and understood that this was just steaming all kinds of seafood together.
The locals in Qin County generally eat this way.
It's just that I didn't have soy sauce before, so I just sprinkled so chopped green onion and salt, and the taste was average.
Xu Yin went out this ti and brought a jar of super original soy sauce that had been brewed for half a year.
Chop so minced garlic, minced ginger, and white scallions, pour so rice vinegar and sesa oil, stir with soy sauce, and steam in a hot pan for two minutes. Using this to dip seafood will definitely enhance the umami taste to 1 1>2.
The most common seafood in Qin County are clams and oysters, followed by octopus, prawns, crabs and the like.
These are not valuable in Qin County. What is valuable are relatively large sea fish.
Xu Yin prefers shellfish, shrimps and crabs.
The guard who was sent to buy seafood ca back with a depressed look on his face. He said that he had arrived late and had not bought any big fish, only so miscellaneous fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish.
Xu Yin looked at the baskets he brought back and was happy: "These are pretty good! If you hadn't bought these and brought back a few fish instead, you would have lost more than you gained!"
Seeing how happy she was, Yan Kejin asked curiously: "These don't have much at. Will they be delicious if stead?"
Of course! Seafood and seafood, what you eat is how delicious it is! Whats so delicious about at!
No one from the prince to the guards believed what she said.
They all thought she was comforting them.
The princess is so kind-hearted that she didnt even scold .
The guard who didn't buy any fish wiped the red corners of his eyes.
Other guards showed approval: "I heard that the princess has never beaten or scolded her servants. This is the first ti I have seen such a reasonable master."
"Who says it's not the case! Although we also co from the Zhongding House, we follow the prince and serve the royal family. If the masters are in a bad mood, it is natural for them to beat and scold us. But in fact, from leaving the capital to Now, not only have I never been scolded, but I also receive rewards every three days. After the establishnt of the **** bureau, I asked my brother who was a **** to help carry a lot of rewards ho from the masters, which made the old lady at ho very happy..."
"I also sent it. Hey... my father also asked the brother from the **** agency to send a letter, asking if sothing happened, and why there are so many good things, such as brown sugar, white sugar, and soy sauce, but I can't buy them in the market. . He was afraid that I would betray the Lord, so he scolded in the letter and laughed to death..."
Dont ntion it, my mother also asked the brothers from the **** agency to send a letter asking if I have been hungry and havent had enough to eat? Otherwise, where would I get the money to pay for these things?
The guards who were not on duty were squatting together and chatting.
The guards on duty looked at their noses and hearts, not daring to look at (no eyes at) their master, who was like a hard-working little bee, diligently surrounding the princess, handing her this and that.
Xu Yin mixed the dipping sauce and the oysters were almost ready to be stead. She asked the maid accompanying this ti to pick the green oysters and take down the stear.
Eat this first, and steam the others for a while.
Neither of them minds eating in the kitchen, which is big enough anyway.
Xu Yin left eight oysters for the two of them, and let the maids and guards divide the rest.
Yan Kejin imitated her eating thod, prying out the oyster at, dipping it in the sauce, and putting it into his mouth.
"Well"
How is it? Is it delicious?
Fresh!
Fresh is the way to go!
Such a fresh oyster, you have to eat it like this to have the original taste.
Stead with garlic is also delicious, but Xu Yin still prefers to steam it and eat it with her own sauce, so as to retain the freshness of the seafood without feeling too bland.
Two people, one for you and one for , quickly finished the eight oysters.
If I had known better, I wouldnt have left so much for them.
Yan Kejin licked her lips, not satisfied.
Xu Yin laughed, it was rare to see his childish side.
"There are other things. If you eat too much of this, you won't be able to eat anything else. Besides, this food is nutritious, but it is cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for your stomach."
Squeezing the ti, the shrimps, crabs and clams in the stear are all cooked now.
The fish stewed in the large iron pot needs to be simred for a while on low heat.
Lets eat these first.
Three-eyed swimming crab, large prawns, and a pot full of clams.
Xu Yin still left most of it aside for Cai Qing to take the points.
By the ti the fish was stewed in the pot, Yan Kejin had already finished two crabs, a pile of clams and shrimps.
Try the mixed fish, the taste will not be worse than those big fish at.
Xu Yin served him a bowl of fish with a bright and delicious soup, using the fresh soy sauce she made herself.
The guard also asked Caiqing to send a basin.
Qinxian Biyuan Warm Pot Banquet ended successfully with everyone calling it "fresh", "delicious" and "delicious".
From Yan Kejin to the guards, their impression of shellfish and miscellaneous fish as unpalatable has completely changed.
The next day, Yan Kejin accompanied Xu Yin to the beach.
At this ti, it was already past the ti to catch the sea, and there was no one at the beach.
Xu Yin did not take off her shoes and walked barefoot on the beach because the guards were following behind her, but it did not hinder her happy mood.
While walking leisurely on the dry beach in winter, I squatted down and picked up a conch shell, which was a rare light pink color in later generations.
Yan Kejin was walking beside her and saw a long string of footprints left behind the two of them. She raised her eyebrows and deliberately made a splay to wrap Xu Yin's footprints in the middle.
I saw all the guards looking at the sky, the sea, and counting the seabirds flying by, but they didn't dare to look directly at their master's nacing actions.
They didn't dare to follow closely, for fear of trampling on their footprints and provoking the glare of their master.
