Chapter 469 Cutting Sugarcane
Duke Zheng was stunned: "There are still things for me to do!"
Sheng Zhen said: "Grandfather, grandmother, you are here too. This business can only be run for a period of time. Why don't you just buy a share?"
Madam Zheng made the decision: "Okay, just tell me how much you want and I'll get it."
"Haha! Grandma is so generous!" Zheng Zhimin gave a thumbs up, praising Old Madam Zheng so much that she raised her head high.
Duke Zheng said, "Old lady, please give me some face!"
"Hahaha!" There was laughter in the hall again.
Zheng Sisi said: "There is another person who also participated in the investment. I also received the money. It is the eldest princess's 400 taels. I hope you don't have any objections."
Everyone said it was no problem, so the work was arranged. It was the winter solstice and everyone was invited to the dining room for dinner.
Everyone was busy with the preparations for two days, and the cooks used the two days to make clothes of the same style themselves.
Zheng Sisi also distributed the work clothes, sleeves, masks and caps she brought to everyone, and trained everyone that the first element of cooking is hygiene.
These people finally understood why they were chosen by the princess. It was because of their neat clothes and clean fingernails.
The firewood that Zheng Zhiyuan collected in the past two days filled up the woodshed in the house, and most of it was also piled up in the yard.
Only more than a hundred pottery jars were ordered, and the others needed to be fired temporarily. Those that were brought back had already been cleaned and hung in the yard by the cooks.
The person in charge of sales also arrived the next evening, exhausted. Now everything was ready except for the wild fruits.
We just have to wait for the news to be released tomorrow and the finished product will be out in the afternoon. Everyone is very excited for this moment!
The next morning, Magistrate Cao came with his mother to visit. Zheng Sisi didn't expect that Old Lady Cao would really come. Old Lady Zheng was so happy that she pulled her to live in the farm.
She kept telling the old lady how much fun it was to pick wild fruits in the mountains and how free she was on the farm, which made Mrs. Cao feel itchy.
Old Madam Zheng also contributed her health tea and foot bath bags. Old Madam Cao finally decided to go back and pack her luggage today, and come over tomorrow to keep Old Madam Zheng company and experience country life together.
Zheng Sisi also welcomed them wholeheartedly. Everyone was busy next, so it would be good to have Madam Cao as company. She arranged for Lily to stay with the old lady and take care of her when she was out.
On the third day, the news was spread that the farm would buy wild fruits that no one ate in the mountains, such as hawthorn, wild pear, persimmon, chestnut, etc., all at three cents per pound. This caused a sensation.
No one knew what chestnuts were, so Zheng Sisi explained it in detail. Only then did the villagers realize that this most prickly ball covered with thorns in the mountains can be a food. It was really unexpected.
Chen Zhuangtou also sent people to the surrounding villages to spread the word, and the villagers all went to the mountains to pick wild fruits, or were on their way to the mountains to pick fruits. Suddenly the mountains were very lively and crowded!
Zheng Sisi was not idle either. She and Sheng Zhen took all the guards into the mountains to cut sugarcane. They did not stop on the mountain road and went straight to the sugarcane field.
Because the sugarcane planted on the farm was already ripe, the ones in the mountains should be almost ripe as well. In any case, she had to cut them down first. She was also afraid that others would not know the value of them and would destroy them.
When we arrived at the sugarcane field, we saw the lush green sugarcane. The fact that it was close to the stream made the green area very eye-catching.
When you look closer, you can still see that the sugarcane here is not as well grown and thick as those on the farm. It may be because no one takes care of it, no one prunes or removes the leaves, or it may be because it grows too densely.
But it's good that it can grow. Zheng Sisi held a piece of sugarcane, picked up the knife, peeled off the leaves, and cut it into sections.
Zhong Ruiyu took one and asked impatiently, "Sister Sisi, how do you eat this?"
Zheng Sisi: "Eat it directly with your mouth!"
Everyone (●—●)
Zheng Sisi put it directly into her mouth, took a small bite from the beginning, and then pulled it off easily, revealing the white sugarcane flesh inside, with a few strands of sugarcane flesh next to it.
After peeling the skin of this section of sugarcane, I took a small bite and chewed it. The sweet juice instantly filled my mouth. Maybe it was because there were no fertilizers and pollution, this sugarcane was sweeter than later generations.
Zheng Sisi said as she chewed, "Sweet and juicy, delicious!"
After drinking all the sugarcane juice in her mouth, she spat out the residue. Seeing that everyone was looking at her but not doing anything, she said, "Sugarcane is for eating the juice inside, which is very sweet. You guys try it!"
After everyone was sure that this was the way to eat it, they started to move. This was mainly because they had never eaten it before and were afraid of making a fool of themselves. Because when the princess teased someone, she didn't look at who the person was. After experiencing this, everyone learned to be cautious.
