Chapter 185 Thresh Machine Drawing
Zheng Sisi led a few maids and sisters to clean up the wild vegetables. She had already thought of the menu, pheasant soup, she would secretly take out some mushrooms from the space later, stewing them together would be delicious. Braised rabbit, cold houttuynia, cold toon, stir-fried dandelions, scrambled eggs with wild onions, tonight's dishes are very rich.
Not long after, the Third Prince and his companions came back, and everyone looked unhappy.
The third prince handed the key to Zheng Sisi. Zheng Sisi guessed from their looks that the Fang father and son were definitely not human beings and there was no food left in the warehouse.
Still asked: "Is there nothing left?"
The Third Prince nodded. "Well, I went to the village to ask. The villagers said that five days ago a group of people came to the farm to collect grain and emptied the yard. The two village heads also asked Fang's father and son about the grain seeds. At that time, Fang said that they had all been kept. The two thought that they might have been kept in this yard, so they let people take all the grain away."
Zheng Sisi gnashed her teeth in hatred and said, "I will go to the county government to find these two damn beasts tomorrow."
The third prince said, "I'll go with you."
Several others also said at the same time: "I will go with you."
Zheng Sisi looked around and nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Zheng Sisi had no hope for this matter, so she was not too disappointed, but she still had to go to the county town to buy some seeds. She would also buy some food tomorrow and treat the villagers of the two villages to a meal.
Going back to the kitchen to continue cooking, the most important thing is to have dinner.
Watching Zheng Sisi cooking in the evening, the aunts were enlightened. It seemed as if the county princess didn't need to buy cooking oil, she just added as much oil as she wanted. But the dishes she cooked were so fragrant that even the air smelled so good.
There are also several common wild vegetables that the villagers don't eat because they dislike their smell. The county lord, on the contrary, says that these are good ingredients and good medicinal materials, and are very good for the body. You will know after eating them tonight.
The dinner was indeed sumptuous, and with the wild vegetables prepared by Zheng Sisi, everyone praised it highly. Zheng Sisi's sisters finally realized that Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were not bragging, and the meal made by Zheng Sisi captured the stomachs of several people.
The aunts who had been complaining about the county lady's wastefulness found that the wild vegetables were as delicious as meat after eating them. They were something they had never eaten before.
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. After the meal, several people wanted to continue playing cards. The three sisters sat at a table. Zheng Sisi went to discuss something with the third prince, so she arranged for Rose, who had the best card playing skills, to accompany Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu.
After Zheng Sisi and the third prince came to the study, Dongzhi served tea and left. Zheng Sisi took out the blueprint of the threshing machine she mentioned last time, and the third prince took the opportunity to approach and secretly touched her sleeve pocket without Zheng Sisi's knowledge, but there was nothing inside.
The third prince thought to himself, "Maybe they have already taken all of it!"
Zheng Sisi took out paper and pen, ground the ink, spread the paper on the desk, and said to the third prince: "Come and take a look first, and ask me if you don't understand."
The third prince moved a chair beside him and sat down, motioning Zheng Sisi to sit down as well. Zheng Sisi sat down without thinking about anything else.
As Zheng Sisi sat down, the third prince smelled that familiar fragrance again. It smelled so good.
He himself felt strange, he was very repulsive to women getting close to him, and felt uncomfortable all over. But he did not repulse Zheng Sisi from the beginning, and even liked her getting close to him and smelling her scent. The third prince himself did not know why.
The third prince collected his thoughts and looked at the blueprint carefully. The blueprint of this thresher was very complicated and consisted of many parts.
After he had read it once, Zheng Sisi explained to him the principles behind it, pointing with her slender fingers at the words that the third prince thought were missing some limbs and explaining them.
As Zheng Sisi was talking, the Third Prince took notes carefully with a pen and even drew a picture on the side.
Looking at the pictures drawn and words written by the third prince, Zheng Sisi sighed that excellent people are excellent in everything they do.
