Chapter 143 Juicy Chinese Cabbage

After inviting the Zhou family to celebrate the New Year together at the General's Mansion in a few days, Xiao Yan and Fei Yu left overnight.

Zhou Laoer and Chen couldn't calm down for a long time.

Since they heard the news, the couple has been numb.

It was not until Xiao Yan and the others left that Chen finally realized what was happening and asked her eldest son:

"Brother Chi, did you know this a long time ago?"

Zhou Chi lowered his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying, "It's not too early."

The initial guess was that it was what Doctor Lao Bai said about his life experience, but later we learned that Young Master Xiao was from the northern border.

In addition, Uncle Tie and Lu Yuan and others came to Yunlai Town one after another, and Zhou Chi's guess was confirmed by his sister.

How well do Chen and Zhou Laoer know this son?

What he said was not early, but it was very early.

There was no need to talk about their daughter, so the couple looked at the second son Zhou Yun in unison.

Zhou Yun: "...What's wrong, mother?"

Chen and Zhou Laoer looked at each other and then looked away indifferently.

"fine."

Zhou Lingling finally dared to speak: "Mom, I didn't hide this from you on purpose... I just forgot."

But Chen had no intention of blaming her daughter at all, because she had already guessed the reason why her daughter had to come to Northern Xinjiang.

But she still couldn't help but remind him, "Mom knows you're smart, but next time you meet someone, you still have to be more careful. Some people you can help, but some people you can't help will get you into big trouble..."

Zhou Lao Er also nodded in agreement: "Yes, daughter, listen to your mother!"

Zhou Lingling agreed to all of them.

She knew that her parents were doing this for her own good.

A few days passed in a flash.

The Zhou family went from being uncomfortable to gradually getting used to the warm fire walls and kangs.

Zhou Lingling would stay in the yard every day and rarely come out except to eat.

"Sister, my master told us to go to the General's Mansion to have New Year's Eve dinner tonight!"

Zhou Yun was wearing a thin black jacket with his sleeves rolled up to his arms. Sweat was still on his forehead when he ran into Zhou Lingling's yard.

As a result, I didn't see my sister in the main room, but I heard her voice in the ear room.

Zhou Yun pushed open the door of the east ear room following the sound.

Zhou Lingling hurriedly said, "Close the door quickly! Don't let the temperature in the room escape."

"Oh, okay!" Zhou Yun hurried in and closed the door.

Then I was shocked by the scene in the room.

"Sister, these are..."

He looked at the green in the room and began to doubt his eyes.

Zhou Lingling squatted on the ground and slowly watered each of her juicy cabbages.

"It's just some vegetables, why make such a fuss?"

Zhou Lingling curled her lips. If Sister Meixiang hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that they had only eaten dried wild vegetables and had very little intake of green vegetables along the way.

Especially after arriving in northern Xinjiang, she went out to the market and saw that there were almost no green leafy vegetables.

Occasionally, some families will store some Brassica rapa, which is the cabbage at this time, before winter, but because there are very few places suitable for growing it, only some wealthy families will have some.

The winter vegetables that ordinary people store are mostly dried dandelions.

The northern border at that time was not like the northern Tianshan Mountains in Zhou Lingling's era, where cattle and sheep were everywhere and people ate meat and drank wine.

People can't survive in this place, so where do the cattle and sheep come from, and how can they eat meat every meal?

Zhou Lingling sighed.

If this land wants to develop, there is still a long way to go...

"Hey, second brother, what did you just say?"

Zhou Yun was forced to look away from the juicy cabbage and replied, "Master said that everyone should go to the General's Mansion to have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

New Year's Eve dinner...

A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Lingling's eyes.

"Second brother, you still need to go over there to do something, right? Help me call a few people over!"

Zhou Yun nodded reluctantly.

He swallowed, turned around and ran to the front yard.

My sister is so amazing. The cabbages she grows make people want to eat them!

After a while, Meixiang and Tang Biao's wives came.

Chen didn't need to give any further instructions. Apart from the Zhou family and the young wives, even Tie Yuan and others would not enter Zhou Lingling's yard at will.

"Miss, are you looking for us?"

Meixiang came and saw no one in the main room, so she asked loudly.

There were two knocks on the window of the nearby ear room, and Zhou Lingling's voice was heard.

"I'm here, you guys come in by yourselves and remember to close the door."

Meixiang and the three daughters-in-law of the Tang family looked at each other, walked over and carefully pushed open the door of the ear room.

This side room is connected to the storage room next to it, and Zhou Lingling asked for both to be connected the second day after arriving here.

So this room is about three or four meters wide and fifteen or sixteen meters long.

The cabbage Zhou Yun just saw was just a corner of it, because cabbage grows fast.

The original growth cycle was one and a half months, but with the irrigation of Zhou Lingling's high-concentration spiritual spring water, it grew to full size in just five days.

So when Meixiang and the others came in, the last person was still closing the door when they heard exclamations from others in front.

Meixiang covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open: "Miss, this..."

Why are there so many...vegetables here?

Chinese cabbage?

radish?

Garlic sprouts?

Some of them only had green buds, which Meixiang couldn't recognize at first.

After a moment of surprise, the three daughters-in-law of the Tang family shut their mouths tightly, but they were very nervous in their hearts.

It was snowing heavily outside, and they asked all the vendors in the city but none of them sold vegetables. They could only buy two baskets of dried dandelions.

Miss Zhou has so many leafy vegetables here, and she suddenly asked them to come over and show them. Could it be that she is going to...

Just when several people were daydreaming, Zhou Lingling was talking nonsense seriously:

"Well, I was bored on the road, so I soaked some seeds in the carriage and kept them warm in a kettle. I didn't expect them to sprout."

"I couldn't bear to waste so many seedlings. Since it was warm inside, I just got some soil and started planting them."

"Well... I look pretty good." Zhou Lingling praised herself.

The three daughters-in-law of the Tang family just smiled stiffly and didn't dare to say a word.

Meixiang: “…” I’m also sitting in your carriage, don’t I know whether you’ve soaked the seeds and grown the seedlings?

"Oh my! So that's what's in your big box, miss! I was wondering why it was so heavy!"

Meixiang seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly slapped her head and said.

"You're so smart, young lady. The room is so warm here, why didn't we think of this? We were so anxious that we couldn't buy food to eat."

Meixiang's words were not empty talk. It was the New Year, and although chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton were available for the table, it was difficult to find green leafy vegetables that symbolized "evergreen all year round."

The three daughters-in-law of the Tang family finally spoke and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, yeah! Why didn't we think of that!"

"We also brought seeds, and we'll plant them in a corner of the house!"

"It's just..."

Zhou Lingling blinked and gave Meixiang a wise look.

"Well, that's a good idea indeed. From now on, our family won't have to eat only bitter dandelions."

Thinking of the dandelions that appeared frequently on the dining table these two days, Zhou Lingling suddenly felt bitter in her mouth.

The matter passed vaguely, and Meixiang smiled and said, "Okay! Then, Miss, why did you ask us to come?"

Zhou Lingling pointed at her cabbage and said, "We don't have to cook today. Leave a few of these cabbages and green radishes and send the rest to the General's Mansion!"
