Considering that the prince did not seem to have done anything wrong before he was angered and killed his father, Zhao Ruxi still felt a little guilty.

Now that she is fine, the little sympathy left in her heart has disappeared due to the prince's disgusting behavior of plotting against her.

If Xiao Lingyan knew about this, he would definitely not let the prince go, right? After all, they are fellow villagers and have a friendship, and now they are in the same trench. He has to protect her.

Although he knew that Mr. Zhu was a sensible person and that the old lady was not confused about important matters, Zhao Ruxi still warned her uneasily: "Grandma, mother, you reject all these marriages and write down their names. These people can be picked."

When it comes out and is brought to us, it must be very ugly inside. You should pay more attention."

The old lady and Mrs. Zhu both nodded: "Don't worry, we know. We won't make any arbitrary decisions about your marriage, don't worry."

Zhao Ruxi saw the angry expressions on their faces, but because it involved the prince, the emperor, and Concubine Jin, she was afraid that people would hear them, so she didn't dare to complain casually, and worried that they would hold it back, so she changed the subject and talked about Bailuzhuang's prospects.

.

"Grandma, mother, look, how should I arrange these incomes? How should the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep be returned to the house?"

"If you want to sell the grain, you can sell it in the shop at home, or you can buy two more shops and open a grain and rice shop. There are many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the manor. In the past years, there were so many people in the house.

It can be said that the supply is sufficient. Now that the families are divided, we can't eat all these and have to sell them. You can deal with the livestock and poultry on your farm by yourself, there is no need to bring them back to the house." Zhu said.

The old lady also nodded: "You usually spend a lot of money buying jewelry for me and your mother. We know that you are filial. It's fine as long as you are willing to give these things to the house."

Zhao Ruxi smiled and said: "Thank you grandma, thank you mother, then I will take care of it myself."

Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are not worth much. If she wants to be filial to the elders in her family, it would be nice to buy a few more pieces of jewelry for the old lady and Mrs. Zhu, but she doesn't need to worry about these.

"Okay, pass the food, Sister Xi must be hungry." The old lady ordered after hearing the voices of Zhao Yuanxun and Zhao Jingtai in the yard.

Mrs. Zhu still had something to say to Zhao Ruxi. After dinner, when she and Zhao Ruxi returned to the main courtyard, she asked: "You are busy every day these days and hardly go to the academy. You haven't seen Xiaoxue for a long time, right?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "No. I am so busy that my front heel hits the back of my head. I haven't seen Xiaoxue for a while."

She raised her eyes and looked at Zhu: "Did something happen to the Xu family?" Otherwise, Zhu would not mention Xiaoxue for no reason.

Mrs. Zhu was grateful to the Xu family for being kind to Zhao Ruxi. After the Xu family moved here, she took great care of them. From time to time, she would send servants to send some snacks there, so that the Zhao family knew that the Xu family was under the care of the Suiping Prefecture.

Don't dare to bully them.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ruxi was very relieved about the Xu family's affairs and did not send anyone to ask about their current situation. If something happened to the Xu family, Zhu would naturally tell her.

Zhu said: "It's not a big deal. Recently, many people on the street have followed Xu's example of selling cold dishes. Although the taste is not that good, it is one or two cents cheaper, so many people are buying it. Some big restaurants have also started to buy it.

Make your own cold dishes and no longer purchase them from the Xu family. Mrs. Zhao Shi said that your uncle has repeatedly adjusted the amount of cold dishes in the past few days, but there are still some leftovers that cannot be sold."

Zhao Ruxi slapped her forehead: "I have been so busy during this period that I forgot about this."

After the cold vegetable business has been in business for a long time, many people will grab the business after learning it, and the Xu family's business will decline. In addition, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the cold vegetable business will naturally not be good. This thing is sold first.

What sells is the season.

Therefore, when Xu Yongyi hesitated and did not dare to bring his business to the capital, Zhao Ruxi felt it was a pity.

The Xu family used to be fine. But now that they have rented a house in the capital, Xu Chongwen's education in school has become more expensive than before. If business fails, Mrs. Xie may not know why she is so anxious.

"I came up with a way to fry chestnuts for my uncle and aunt. It's just that the chestnuts were not mature yet, so I didn't tell them. Send someone to tell them not to worry. Wait until I get the most critical thing for frying chestnuts.

If you find them, teach them."

Hearing what Zhao Ruxi said, Mrs. Zhu became a little curious.

She has been in charge of the middle class in the house for so many years. Even if she doesn't cook the food herself, she still has plenty of theoretical experience.

Did she know that chestnuts are difficult to fry because they are too big and have hard shells. Everyone steams them.

Although she was curious, she also knew that this was a secret recipe and it was not easy to ask.

"How do you know these methods?" Zhu was more curious about this.

She felt that her daughter would inevitably know too many things.

"When I was a child, there was an old woman living next door to my adoptive parents' house. She was half-blind and she usually fumbled around doing housework. Once she accidentally put pebbles mixed with chestnuts into the pot and stir-fried them. I ate them and found them better than steaming them.

The ones are more fragrant." Zhao Ruxi rambled casually.

In desperation, she hadn't finished the lie yet, and there were loopholes in her logic.

But fortunately, Ms. Zhu was busy lamenting the hardships her daughter had suffered in the past, and she was also pleased that she was smart. She felt that ordinary things that others didn't care about, but her daughter saw them, remembered them in her heart, and thought about using them.

She was immersed in the pride of "Sure enough, my cub is smart" and did not ask for these details.

…

With capable servants, it would be easy for Zhao Ruxi to do whatever he wanted.

Quartz sand was needed to fry chestnuts, so Zhao Ruxi only had to tell Zhou Chun and there was no need to worry about it. Two days later, Zhou Chun delivered what she wanted.

The quartz sand was selected according to her instructions. They were all the same size and had no edges or corners.

"Girl, is this it?" Zhou Chun asked.

Zhao Ruxi nodded as soon as he saw it: "Exactly this."

She ordered: "Ask Zhaoming to send it to the kitchen of Lvjiaoyuan, ask Sister-in-law Li to wash it, fry it twice with oil, and then put the washed and dried chestnuts in to fry. As for how to make it more delicious, let me

Let her think it over."

Zhou Chun left.

When Zhao Ruxi came back from the training class, Zhaoming brought a plate of fried chestnuts.

Zhao Ruxi peeled it open and ate one, then slapped her forehead and said, "Let Sister-in-law Li put some sugar in it and fry it."

In modern times, she had heard someone casually say that quartz sand was used to stir-fry chestnuts with sugar. She had seen and eaten sugar-fried chestnuts sold on the street. As for how to stir-fry chestnuts with quartz sand and how to add sugar to prevent them from sticking to the pan,

This requires careful consideration by professionals like Sister-in-law Li.

Zhaoming didn't question it, and ran to the kitchen without asking. Half an hour later, another plate of sugar-roasted chestnuts was served.
