Gu Ya still hadn’t returned, and Su Yunjin, feeling uneasy, decided to visit the Prince Ning Residence to ask the Commandery Princess. However, when Su Yunjin arrived at the residence, not only was the Commandery Princess absent, but Prince Ning was also not at ho.
With no other option, Su Yunjin had to go back. At noon, Aunt Bao ca over to ask Su Yunjin what she wanted to eat. On the day of her elder brother’s wedding banquet, Su Yunjin had eaten greasy food all day.
Now, Su Yunjin suddenly craved noodles.
"Auntie, just have the kitchen cook a bowl of pickled vegetable and shredded at noodles!"
The last ti Su Yunjin had the kitchen’s pickled vegetable noodles, they were quite tasty, with the broth tangy and the pickled vegetables golden and crispy.
It was very appetizing.
Just perfect for Su Yunjin at this mont.
Aunt Bao smiled and agreed, "Madam, I’ll go to the kitchen and give the instructions right away."
"Auntie, wait!" Su Yunjin called out to Aunt Bao.
Aunt Bao stopped and turned to look at Su Yunjin, "Madam, do you have anything else to instruct?"
"Auntie, the tomatoes I planted in the village should be ripe by now. Today, please arrange for a few of the household’s servants to go to the Gu Family Village and pick a few baskets of my tomatoes. Also, remind Brother Jia, who looks after the fish pond, to deliver fresh fish to the residence daily."
Su Yunjin was planning that once the servants delivered fresh tomatoes, she would have tomato egg noodles for lunch. Oh, tomato beef noodles were also delicious!
Su Yunjin squinted, thinking of the taste of sour beef noodles, and she was instantly craving them.
Aunt Bao had never heard of tomatoes and was a bit confused, "Madam, what are tomatoes? How co I’ve never heard of them before?"
"This—?" Su Yunjin quickly realized Aunt Bao had never seen tomatoes before and explained, "Auntie, tomatoes are those red and round fruits I planted. Last year, I gave Aunt Song next door so tomato sauce. Aunt Song knows what tomatoes are, right? When you go to the village, just ask Aunt Song, and you’ll find out."
Aunt Bao nodded with a smile.
"Madam, I’ll arrange for a few people to go to the village later to pick so tomatoes for you. But, Madam, isn’t picking a few baskets too much?"
Su Yunjin smiled.
"It’s not too much. Once they’re picked, I’ll send a basket each to Madam Qin and Madam Lu’s residences so they can have a taste too. If there’s any left over, we can make soup, and everyone in the household can try them."
Su Yunjin was certain that the maids and older won in the household had never eaten tomatoes. In any case, she had planted a lot of tomatoes this year, covering several acres, enough for everyone to eat.
The tomato sauce Su Yunjin made last year was almost gone. Now that the fresh tomatoes were ripe, Su Yunjin planned to make a new batch of tomato sauce.
Aunt Bao went to instruct the kitchen to cook noodles for Su Yunjin. Soon, a bowl of steaming pickled vegetable and shredded at noodles was brought over.
Su Yunjin slled the fragrant aroma of the noodles, and her appetite was imdiately piqued.
"Slls so good!" Su Yunjin picked up chopsticks and began to eat. The crunchy pickled vegetables were especially appetizing, and the broth was savory.
Su Yunjin ate with great enjoynt, finishing the entire bowl of noodles completely satisfied.
Today, since Prince Ning and the Commandery Princess were not at the residence, Su Yunjin decided to find another ti to inquire.
Or she could have a servant send a note to the Commandery Princess at Prince Ning’s residence, inviting her over. That way, the Commandery Princess would naturally co to see her upon receiving the note, and she wouldn’t have to go to the Prince Ning Residence to look for her.
Finally, two days after sending the note to the Commandery Princess, Su Yunjin saw her.
"Sister Su, why were you looking for ?"
