Chapter 252: Princess's Generosity
The girl is back.
So lunch was placed under the girl’s favorite ancient tree as usual.
What is different from the past is that some branches of the ancient trees are hung with light blue Linghan brocade that flutters in the wind. From a distance, it looks like a wishing tree in heaven, beautiful and otherworldly.
Qingdai and Qingyou were busy around under the tree with a few other girls. The huge branches and leaves of the ancient tree could provide shade, but the air outside was still hot.
Put ice basins around, put more of them, so that the girls can be more comfortable when eating. Anyway, there is plenty of ice, so they can do as they please.
……
Smoke rose from the kitchen in the courtyard. The chef transferred from Zuixianlou was almost thought to be unemployed. He had only cooked a few meals at the farm when his masters left one after another.
He became the one who cooked for the maids and old women every day. In fact, as the master's personal chef, he didn't need to cook for others, but he hadn't cooked for a long time and he was anxious.
Which restaurant chef can go for months without cooking?
Then he would be beaten to a pulp by the youngsters coming up behind!
I originally thought that I would do well on the farm, bring my wife and children over, and live with my whole family in this paradise-like place. But now I don’t dare to mention it anymore…
At least the masters are back, and there is still room for rescue.
I heard that several distinguished guests came to the farm today, and the chef's spoon was about to fly, and he must show off his skills.
……
In the backyard, the three old men who had picked the fruits by themselves were also hurrying back. The three old men insisted on carrying the fruits of their labor out by themselves and were unwilling to let others do it.
Li Jiaojiao and Lu Liang walked side by side in front of the three people, with strange expressions on their faces...
Li Jiaojiao only found out today that being picky about food is not limited to any age group. The things in the baskets of the three adults fully demonstrated the picky eating issue.
Minister Lin's basket was filled with cherries, half of which were red and half were yellow, with a few strawberries on top, and no other fruits at all...
It seems that Minister Meng’s taste is quite similar to Lu Liang’s. Most of the things in the basket are grapes, with some cherries and strawberries, and nothing else.
As for Li Yushi, his basket was half filled with cherries and half with strawberries. Then, for some reason, he thought that blueberries were also good, so he covered his basket with blueberries. From a distance, it looked like a basket full of blueberries...
Apples, pears, peaches, etc., the three adults didn't pick any...
Li Jiaojiao didn't know that the fruits picked by the three adults were not available in the market in Qing Country. In addition, they were small in size, so it would be easier to share them when they got home...
If it is that big apple, there won’t be much in one basket. How will we divide it among so many people in the mansion after we get back?
……
When the group came out of the orchard, they saw someone in the yard carrying vegetables and walking under the ancient tree.
Su Yue and her people came over from afar, "Miss, the food is ready."
Li Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay, load the baskets for the three adults into the car, and remember to put some ice in the car."
"Yes, young lady." Su Yue nodded her head and the people following her immediately took a few steps, took the baskets from the three adults and carried them away.
Li Jiaojiao turned around and stretched out her hand towards the ancient tree. "When I was in Zhuangzi, I liked to eat under the ancient tree. They have set it up today. Please come in, my three lords."
Three people: "Your Highness, Princess, please go first."
……
Under the ancient tree.
Several people sat down one after another, and fresh dishes were presented in front of them.
How fresh is it? The vegetables are still growing in the fields, the chickens are running around, the pigs are grunting, the fish are swimming in the pond, and the rabbits are running around...
In short, probably all the dishes that can be served on the table in Zhuangzi have been arranged by the chef today...
Even though the three adults had seen a lot of the world, they were still stunned by the various dishes in front of them. In fact, there were too many dishes that they had never eaten and were unfamiliar with...
The elders felt particularly comfortable. The princess knew how to do things. She let them taste the vegetables right away so that they could remember and understand them better in the future...
I never expected that the dish in front of me was just a chef who was worried about his future and was taking the opportunity to show off...
The three adults savored the food slowly.
Li Jiaojiao didn't like the dining atmosphere to be too tense, and this was her own territory, so she brought up the topic.
"Master Lin, I have a few drawings here. I'll have to ask the Ministry of Industry to make them as soon as possible. I'll need them in the next few days." Li Jiaojiao said as she picked up a piece of silverfish with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
The silverfish had been kept in the pond for some time, and I don't know what they ate, but they became exceptionally plump and fat.
"Okay, okay. I wonder what this blueprint is used for?" Minister Lin has been in Yuncheng for a while and has become accustomed to everyone talking about things when they eat together. The meal seems to taste better.
So as soon as Li Jiaojiao opened her mouth, he responded skillfully.
He raised his hand and served himself a bowl of soup. Normally, he didn't like to drink soup on hot days, but who could blame the princess for being so generous? The ice basins and Ling Hanjin around him gave off a hint of coolness, so it would be nice to drink some hot soup.
"I am going to harvest wheat and rice, the golden fields. Threshing and shelling are a big job. I got some tools to save some effort."
"How many?" Minister Lin quietly put down the bowl and looked at Li Jiaojiao expectantly with his bright eyes.
He almost asked directly, "Where is the drawing? Let me see it, let me see it..."
"Three, here are the drawings, take a look." Li Jiaojiao smiled and reached out to take out the drawings from her sleeve.
Minister Lin and Censor Li have become immune to Li Jiaojiao's hidden talents. The princess has big sleeves and she always likes to put all kinds of things in them.
Why was Minister Meng's eyes twitching? If he remembered correctly, the princess had taken out a large bag of silver from her sleeve before.
It was a reward for the servants who delivered watermelons to the people outside...
He ordered his own people to do things and even gave them money...
Minister Lin took the drawing solemnly, and without even bothering to eat, he opened the drawing directly, wanting to see what the three tools for threshing and shelling were.
He has been in the industry for so many years and has seen countless drawings, but the only challenging drawings he has seen are from the hands of the princess.
In addition, every time the princess takes out something, it is something that benefits the country and the people's livelihood. If you follow the princess, you may be able to make a contribution to future generations.
Whether it is the earliest Panlong spiral well or the later waterwheel, which one is not a real benefit to the people?
Minister Lin opened the blueprint and Censor Li leaned forward.
Minister Meng hesitated for a moment and moved his head over.
