Lord Fourth, Madam Has Tricked You Again

Chapter 800 How Can Fairies Hands Be Used For Cooking?

The fourth master sneered, "How dare you say you have a conscience, my master has been thinking about how to vent his anger for Fujin these days, so why does Fujin just say thank you?"

Ruoyin: "..."

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence."

The next moment, without giving her a chance to answer, he sealed the woman's lips...... .....

After an unknown amount of time, the two hugged each other and lay on the brocade quilt.

The man put his arms around the woman, and said calmly: "The emperor Ama said today that all prefects from all over the country have settled down in the capital, and they will go to the royal farm in the future."

"Yeah." Ruoyin was so sleepy, although she heard it, she answered perfunctorily.

Seeing her lack of strength, fourth master didn't say anything.

He patted her on the shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Three days later, it was the day when fourth master was going to teach at the Royal Farm.

In order to show that he is close to the people, not only fourth master is going, but Ruoyin is also going to follow.

Moreover, except for Li Shi who is still grounded.

Niu Gulushi and Nianshi, as side Fujin, had to go together.

Because when necessary, it's not just fourth master who wants to go to the ground.

Ruoyin and the others had to go down to the ground.

After all, it seemed unconvincing for fourth master to point it out there alone.

Besides, the men are busy with their work, and the women are still watching on the shore. In this dynasty where men are superior to women, some people will gossip.

On this day, Ruoyin put on light makeup and dressed appropriately, and took a carriage with fourth master to the Royal Farm.

The carriage of Nianshi and Niu Gulushi is behind them.

When they got there, the slaves took them to Xiannong's altar.

Five-color flags were hung on Xiannong's altar, and the people sitting under it were all prefects from all over the country, probably hundreds of people.

When everyone saw Fourth Master, they saluted one after another: "Kowtow to Prince Yong."

Fourth Master stood on the Xiannong Altar and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me."

Then, he gestured to the servants beside him, and music sounded around him.

There are quite a few musicians, six of each of gongs, drums, bans, flutes, sheng, and flutes. They sit in rows around the farm altar and play "Thirty-Six Heci".

People here believe in God very much, and they are very particular about rules.

It is not just as simple as farming and teaching.

For everyone, there are some necessary rituals.

As soon as the vocal music sounded, the fourth master would burn incense and offer sacrifices.

Ruoyin, Niu Gulu and Nian followed closely behind, burning incense and prostrating.

Agriculture has always been the lifeblood of the country, and it has been formed since the Warring States period, when the policy of rewarding farming and fighting and suppressing merchants began.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business gradually became a national policy, and the concept of agriculture-based business-end has always occupied the main theme of the country's traditional economic thought in the feudal society for more than a thousand years.

Therefore, in order to reflect the emphasis on agriculture, basically every emperor will personally farm.

Especially since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Manchus had always been nomadic peoples in the north.

The Han people said that the Manchus were uncivilized barbarians who relied on hunting and eating animals.

In order to break this statement, Emperor Shunzhi asked people to set aside a piece of land in the northeast suburb of the capital, which was exactly one-third of an acre.

Every year when it comes to the farming season, he carries a hoe and a bucket to plant vegetables and plow the fields.

Let the people of the world see that the Manchurian emperors, like the Han people, advocate farming.

As a result, this custom has been passed down from generation to generation.

When Kangxi was young, even the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was ill.

When the day comes, I will also take the queen and concubines to the fields to plow.

Moreover, he also built Fengze Garden in Xiyuan, where he would cultivate it himself every year.

Part of the harvested food is used for sacrifices, and part is used for rewards.

His old man's farming must be different from ordinary people's farming, and there are many people watching.

The most time, it is said that tens of thousands of people watched it.

Not only that, Kangxi also bred a new rice variety called Yudaomi, which ended the history of not growing rice in the north.

This is equivalent to the modern Yuan Longping.

Ruoyin was thinking, fourth master said he was the number one idler in the Qing Dynasty, living a pastoral life.

In fact, he knows what Kangxi likes, so he does these things, let's do what he likes.

After a while, after worshiping the God and lighting the incense, an elder recited auspicious words loudly.

"There are three kinds of Libai and yellow. The millet is firm and fragrant. The ears are full and the length is long. Five bean and five beans fill the field."

Then, the fourth master and several agricultural bachelors taught the prefects in various places in turn.

It is nothing more than telling them what to pay attention to when growing various agricultural products.

Also, explain to them the more than ten kinds of fertilizers they have recently researched.

And distribute it to them, and teach them how to make these fertilizers.

Since it's not time to go to the ground yet, it's not a problem for Ruoyin to just sit around.

So he took his servants and went to his residence to rest.

Along the way, I saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as poultry.

The residence was an ordinary courtyard, and after the servant brought them into the courtyard, he said, "Si Fujin, this is the residence of you, Fourth Lord, and the two side Fujin."

"Huh? Do we all live in this yard?" Nian asked.

"If you go back to Fujin in the new year, because of the special situation this time, the farm space is limited, and there are still many officials who want to live here, so I feel wronged and crowded."

"Oh, okay." Nian glanced at the yard, and consciously walked to the right wing, "I will live here."

Seeing this, Niu Gulu also said wittily: "Fu Jin, then I will go to the left wing."

Ruoyin nodded and gave a faint "hmm".

So, only the principal house remained.

Ruoyin brought Ruxia Rushuang into the main room.

As for the fourth master, of course, whoever sleeps at night will rest there.

It was almost noon, when Ruoyin was worrying about what to eat, she saw Ruxia coming back from outside.

"Fu Jin, the servant just asked, there is no cook here who will cook for us, because those cooks are all cooking big pot meals at Xiannongtan. Therefore, if you eat, you have to eat the same as them."

Hearing this, Ruoyin felt that it was justifiable.

After all, people's farms are based on farming, growing melons, fruits and vegetables.

And it mainly raises poultry, not a big garden.

There are not many guest rooms, let alone a cook.

Just looked at it, there are hundreds of officials, at least several cooks cook together.

Thinking of this, Ruoyin asked, "What about fourth master?"

"Master, of course, also eats big pot meals with those officials and agricultural bachelors." Ruxia replied.

Also, fourth master has never been a person who puts on airs.

I heard that he went to war with Kangxi, and he ate dry food on the way.

"Fujin, do you want to eat a big pot of rice? If you want to eat it, the servant will bring it back for you. Just now I saw that the two servants around Fujin had gone, and I said that those cooks couldn't handle the amount on the first day, so if you go later, there will be no food." Already." Ruxia hurriedly said.

After thinking for a while, Ruoyin said, "Well, I won't eat the big pot of rice. You can go to the steward here and spend some money to fetch some ingredients for me. Anyway, we have a kitchen in the yard, so I can cook it myself."

"You do it yourself?" Ruxia asked in disbelief.

"yes."

Ruxia scratched her head, and said embarrassingly: "How about this, Fujin, if you don't dislike the servant, the servant did farm work at home when he was a child, and he could also cook. Some home-cooked dishes are fine."

Hearing this, Ruoyin smiled and said, "It's okay, I just had a whim and wanted to cook by myself, that's all."

When I was in the house, it was all done by Niu Chef.

Except for the time when Kangxi came, she cooked the kitchen herself, and occasionally cooked something for the children. Normally, she didn't go into the kitchen.

It's not that she dislikes big pots of rice, but she thinks that she is bored anyway, so she cooks something to eat.

I can do whatever I want to eat, how nice it is.

"Okay then, you write it on paper, and the servant will buy it from the manager." Ruxia said.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin wrote down the ingredients she wanted to Ruxia.

After about a stick of incense, Ruxia came back with a basket of vegetables.

Ruoyin didn't want much, just a day's worth of food.

Inside the basket were fat and thin pork belly, chicken feet, potatoes, red and white radishes, peppers, onion, ginger, garlic, and some condiments.

After all the materials were ready, Ruxia started to help her light the fire.

Rushuang helps wash vegetables and peel potatoes.

The combination of master and servant can get twice the result with half the effort.

After a while, the firewood was burning vigorously.

Ruoyin put the oil first, heat up the wok on high heat, wait until the wok smokes, then add the marinated meat slices and stir-fry until the skin is burnt, then take out the meat.

Then stir-fry the green pepper, red pepper, onion, ginger and garlic until slightly wrinkled, sprinkle with salt and dried bean drum.

Finally, stir fry together, pour a little wine, and you can start the pot.

Then, there is fried hot and sour potato shreds.

Stir-fried potatoes Ruoyin put millet pepper and mature vinegar.

Not long after, both dishes were fried.

Ruxia Rushuang has already taken a big pot of rice from Xiannongtan, they don't want to eat it.

So, as long as Ruoyin ate alone, she only cooked two dishes.

Then, Ruoyin distributed some dishes to Ruxia Rushuang, and ate alone in the hall.

Just when she lamented that the dishes she cooked were delicious, she saw the light at the door dim.

Fourth Master is here!

Ruoyin put down the bowl and chopsticks, stepped forward and saluted fourth master.

"Hmm." The man glanced at the two dishes on the table.

No wonder he smelled the aroma of vegetables as soon as he entered the yard.

"Your servant did it?" he asked.

"No, I made it myself." Ruoyin poured fourth master a cup of tea, and the two sat down at the dining table together.

Immediately, Fourth Master's face darkened, "What are your servants for?"

"Oh, they're all helping me wash the vegetables and burn firewood." Ruoyin thought that the fourth master would think this was against the rules, so she said truthfully: "Besides, they offered to cook for me, but I have a rather picky appetite, so I'm worried that they will cook. If it’s not to my taste, I’ll make it myself.”

Fourth Master: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ruoyin asked cautiously: "Master, shouldn't you be eating? Why did you come back? Do you want to go in the afternoon?"

Fourth Master: "..."

At this time, Su Peisheng on the side put an exquisite iron food box on the table.

"Fu Jin, the master is halfway through eating anyway, I heard that your servant didn't bring you food, so I brought the servant here."

It's not that the master feels sorry for Fujin and worries that she will be hungry.

Who knew that she cooked a table of delicious dishes by herself and ate them with great relish.

But this doesn't make fourth master worry, looking at those slender hands, how can a fairy's hands be used for cooking!

Hearing that fourth master came here on purpose just to bring her food, Ruoyin's mouth twitched slightly.

"Thank you, Master." She smiled flatteringly, and said, "But I also cook myself, do you want to try it together?"

"No need." The man said coldly.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng knew that Fourth Master was a man of integrity.

Then he smiled and said: "Fu Jin, the master came over after half of his meal, you should serve him some food, your cooking skills are good, the taste must be good, the servant will go outside and wait for you."

As soon as these words came out, Fourth Master gave Su Peisheng a vicious look.

Ruoyin virtuously filled a bowl of rice for fourth master, "Master, I didn't expect you to come, I only cooked two dishes, you can try it."

The man didn't speak, but his actions were very honest, and he started to eat after taking the job.

He is sandwiched with hot and sour potato shreds, hot and sour and delicious, but it goes well with rice.

Afterwards, I added farmhouse fried pork. The meat is very tender, sautéed and spicy, and it goes well with rice.

Ever since, fourth master had nothing but to finish the rice in the bowl.

He also opened the big pot of rice brought back.

Because Ruoyin didn't cook for two of them.

However, the above dish was picked up by him in disgust.

At the end of the meal, the two dishes were all wiped out.

After eating and drinking enough, the two took a nap together.

When Ruoyin woke up, fourth master was no longer by his side.

In the afternoon, Ruoyin made another chicken feet with pickled peppers.

But I can't eat it today, I have to soak it for a day or two.

It was dusk when the pickled pepper and chicken feet were ready, and Ruoyin followed suit to make dinner.

Who knew that Ruxia would speak while washing and picking vegetables.
