Chapter 233 Vegetable Greenhouse
Standing at the door of the Han family, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang were a little unbelievable. They heard that their cousin did not marry well. They were still thinking that it must be a rumor. The cousin is the second wife and the only legitimate daughter of the Su family. How could she not marry well? , standing here now, is this where my cousin lives? It's really a bit shabby.
Su Wenyue naturally saw the expressions on Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang's faces. After all, they were still young. Even though they were living under the hands of their aunt, they had not yet fully learned to hide their emotions.
"Two cousins, we're here. This is your cousin's home. It looks a bit simple, but it's more comfortable. Don't dislike it, but it's too late for you to dislike it now. You have to stay for a few days before going back." Su Wenyue stood there. At the door of her house, she said humorously that her place was a bit too 'shabby' compared to the Su family, let alone compared to the Bei'an Marquis Mansion.
"Cousin, don't say that. I think this place is very good. We just didn't expect it at the moment. After all, the second uncle and second aunt love my cousin so much. They have no other intentions." Su Lanxin said a little embarrassed, for fear that Su Wenyue would misunderstand.
"Don't be restrained. My parents love me, but this is my own intention. Besides, the conditions are not bad. I am very happy to share the joys and sorrows with my husband." Su Wenyue said with a smile, and Han Yu felt heartbroken as he listened. , What can a husband ask for when he has such a wife? He vowed in his heart to make his wife live a good life and no longer be looked down upon by the relatives of the Su family.
Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang laughed after hearing this, not knowing what to say.
After entering Han's house, I found that it was not as bad as I thought. At least it was simple and generous, and the food and clothing were not bad. It was actually more comfortable and comfortable to live here than in Su's house, and I started to really like it here.
"Cousin, what is this? I have never eaten it before. It tastes crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside." Su Lanxin asked with a smile after spending some time with Su Wenyue and knowing that Su Wenyue's personality had relaxed.
"Yes, there is also this one. It tastes refreshing and more delicious than green vegetables." Su Lanfang agreed, taking a chopstick and putting it in his mouth, even putting aside the etiquette taught by his grandma. Went there with a relaxed and happy face, enjoying sharing the delicious food with the two cousins.
These are grown from seeds introduced from Fan Bang. Naturally, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang have never eaten them. Although the Su family also has some seeds and will send some to the Bei'an Marquis Mansion, the quantity is not large. How can these two concubines be able to Su Wenyue patiently explained to them what they had eaten.
"These are potato pancakes. They are made of sweet potatoes and rice flour. The sweet potatoes are grown from seeds imported from foreign vassals. They are so big that they look like lumps on the outside. There are yellow and purple hearts. You can go back later. You can tell by looking at the kitchen. This is cauliflower. No wonder you haven’t seen it before. They are all seeds from other countries. They were only grown in Zhuangzi this year. It’s just for you to have a taste. If you like it, just let the kitchen cook it. "
Su Lanfang was still young, so she nodded eagerly when she heard something delicious. In her opinion, the food at her cousin's house was even more delicious than the food at Su's house. She would not have such a good opportunity when she went back in the future. All meals would be served in the kitchen. Although my aunts are not too harsh on it, it was already cold by the time it was cooked in such a big kitchen, so it would still taste good.
"This pickled vegetable is also more delicious than any pickled vegetable I have ever eaten before. Cousin, your family has so many delicious foods." Su Lanfang admired with envy.
"Yes, and the meal is so sumptuous. Even if our Marquis Mansion is having a hard time nowadays, only the old lady's place has such good dishes." Su Lanxin looked at the table, except for the few fresh things she had never seen before. There was plenty of chicken, duck, and fish, as well as popular vegetables. Only then did I realize that my cousin's house might not be as shabby as it seemed. The food here was no worse than those in the Hou and Su's houses, and was even better. If not, Can you live like this with just a few home collections?
"My favorite thing is these vegetables. Now in the winter months, there are fewer and fewer edible vegetables. They are more valuable than meat. That means I can eat them to my heart's content at my cousin's place." Su Lanfang said, still wondering. She stopped to put vegetables in her mouth, but she wiped out most of the vegetables on the table. How much she loves to eat.
Su Wenyue had stayed in the back house for so long in her previous life, so she naturally understood the sadness and suffering of being a concubine, and then encountered such a world. Although the Bei'an Marquis Mansion was high and powerful, in terms of wealth, it was not as wealthy as their second wife who was a businessman. The food and supplies are not even as good as those of the Su family, and the treatment as a concubine is naturally not much better.
However, Su Lanfang's words made Su Wenyue think. There are fewer vegetables in winter, but there is still a way to think of it. By building a greenhouse, you can grow vegetables in it. Even in the middle of winter, you don't have to worry about running out of vegetables.
Su Wenyue didn't feel that before, but now she is really grateful to Concubine Li, who was forced to die by the court officials and died young. She has benefited a lot because of Concubine Li. The greenhouse for growing vegetables was not originally set aside by Concubine Li, but instead it made her She benefited from this and had so many ideas. The man admired Concubine Li, and the little girls in the family gossiped about the legendary Concubine Li. She could almost recite the life of Concubine Li.
This is probably God's favor for her. In the past, Concubine Li relied on this to have a smooth life. Now she can also rely on it to live a good life. Of course, she must be low-key and cautious, otherwise she will end up like Concubine Li. .
Su Wenyue was thinking about something, so she didn't have the heart to chat and laugh with the two sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang. If this matter was done well, she could save a lot of expenses. Moreover, at this age, these food and daily necessities are rarer than gold, silver and jade. She asked the servants to collect a lot of seeds. There were only extra ones. There was no other cost except the greenhouse and manpower. It was really a good idea.
Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang were both well-behaved and sensible. They grew up in the Marquis' Mansion. The best thing they could do was to read people's faces. Seeing that Su Wenyue was absent-minded, it was obvious that she had something to do. They were also very sensible and didn't disturb Su Wenyue anymore. The two sisters went to play by themselves.
"Madam Chen, please ask the guard to go to the farm and ask Xiaoxi to come back. I have something to ask her to do. Ask her to put down the things at hand and come back quickly. My business is more important." Su Wenyue ordered. Xiaoxi has become her steward outside. Most of the time, she is not serving at home, but busy with things outside.
When Nanny Chen saw Su Wenyue's expression, she knew that the Madam must have come up with some good idea, otherwise how could the Han family live such a comfortable and prosperous life? They had been worrying about the family's food and expenses for a long time, not only because of the Madam's generous dowry, but also because the Madam was good at managing it.
