Siheyuan: The Final Winner

afternoon.

After watering the vegetable field, Qin Jingru proposed to take He Yushui to the field for sightseeing.

After autumn, although every day at noon can still feel a bit hot.

But the air is no longer hot and humid in summer.

One autumn rain and one cold.

Two or three torrential rains had washed the sky clear and clear, and the mornings and evenings were much cooler.

The heat is fading away and the weather is getting cooler.

People's clothes also naturally transition from short-sleeved and sandals in summer to long-sleeved and coats.

Walking on the ridge in the countryside, looking up and seeing the clear sky with high clouds and clear sky, my mood is much brighter.

The sun is shining down warmly, which also makes people feel warm.

The wind blows the rice waves, and the autumn mood rises, and the sunrise and sunset are full of clouds.

Cherries, strawberries, watermelons, and peaches that bear fruit in summer are already out of season.

It's time for the unique autumn fruits to appear.

Speaking of the fruits around the capital, they are too rich!

Looking around the surrounding districts and counties, apples, pears, persimmons, dates, and grapes are all produced, and there are various varieties.

As for the small white pear and big white crabapple, which are special products of the capital, they are not to be missed.

The pear blossoms and crabapple flowers in spring bloom and wither, bringing the sweetest fruits in autumn.

Xiaobai pear is also called Jingbai pear in the capital city. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was used as fruit for the imperial palace, and Dongshan Village is the most famous.

Jingbai pears are small, thin-skinned and multi-nucleated, with a soft and glutinous taste that melts in the mouth and is as sweet as honey when you bite into it.

Not only is there a lot of juice, the taste is sweet and sour, and the fragrance is strong, but it also has the functions of promoting body fluid, moisturizing dryness, clearing away heat, reducing phlegm, and hangover.

It is used in the production of autumn pear paste, and its efficacy is brought into full play!

As for the big white crabapple, it is also called the octagonal crabapple.

The fruit color is bright red and eye-catching, the fruit shape is beautiful, the pulp quality is good, the fruit is fragrant, and the fresh food is sweet and sour.

Octopus can be harvested twice a year.

It can reach edible maturity before coloring, and "white crabapple" can be harvested.

When fully mature, the color is bright red and purple, the fruit shape is beautiful, the skin is large, the skin is thin and juicy, the pulp quality is good, and it can be harvested for the second time.

After the slices are dried, they can be eaten directly.

Sucrose and other auxiliary materials can also be added, soaked in water for drinking in summer, clearing away heat, purging fire, invigorating the spleen, and appetizing.

It can also be processed into crabapple juice, beverage, preserved crabapple, and canned food.

It is also the main raw material for making candied haws in Beijing and Tianjin.

Because He Yushui is a stranger, so as not to attract crowds.

Qin Jingru took her to a place with few people.

Jiang Pingan went to say hello to the production captains of Liangjia Village and Qinjia Village in advance.

Everything in the field is collective, and Qin Jingru took He Yushui to pick fruits.

Jiang Pingan didn't want to take advantage of that, so he would compensate the two villages with a few catties of grain in time.

The production captains of the two villages offered to invite Jiang Pingan to eat, but he declined.

Things like being greedy for petty gains and suffering big losses happen all the time.

Jiang Pingan didn't want to get into trouble because of these three melons and two dates.

Because they said hello in advance, along the way, Qin Jingru and He Yushui played crazy and picked a lot of fruits.

When the militiamen saw it, they all laughed and said nothing, and even hid far away, and they were more face-to-face.

Knowing that there were guests at Jiang Ping'an's house, he didn't come to watch and ask. The country people are vulgar, and they were afraid of scaring the guests.

Crazy all the way, passing a corn field.

Qin Jingru suddenly stopped, looked at Jiang Ping'an, and pointed inward.

"Sister Jingru, what's in it?" He Yushui asked curiously.

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "You sister Jingru, you are thinking of something good!"

He Yushui looked at the two blankly, not knowing what charade they were playing.

Until Qin Jingru leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, He Yushui blushed after hearing this.

But she still raised her head, blinked her eyes, and asked Jiang Pingan in a low voice: "Do you want to? I can do it."

"Come on, this place is unhygienic and full of weeds. I'm not interested." Jiang Pingan waved his hand.

"Even if I think about it, why don't you feel better at home? Why bother?"

He Yushui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I also feel quite awkward here."

No matter how much she let go, she still had a lot of worries about being in the open air. Fortunately, Jiang Ping'an was considerate of her.

On the contrary, Qin Jingru was a little disappointed, and said, "I used to hear people talk about drilling cornfields."

"I've always been very curious about this. I wanted to try it today, but you didn't want to. It's too disappointing."

He Yushui smiled and said sweetly: "After I leave, you will pester Brother Pingan again!"

"Bah! If the opportunity is missed, I will never agree to him again." Qin Jingru said arrogantly.

Then the two girls giggled, clutching their stomachs and laughing.

Then, the three of them played in the field for two or three hours, and it was getting late, so they returned home.

As usual, Qin Jingru packed all the fruits picked in the afternoon in cloth bags and asked He Yushui to take them away.

After washing up, the three of them hang out for more than an hour.

As the sun slanted westward, He Yushui reluctantly left.

Jiang Pingan took Qin Jingru, sent He Yushui to the main road, and watched her disappear at the end of the road.

back home.

Qin Jingru said disgruntledly: "After the rain has gone, I feel so peaceful!"

"With her by my side, I feel that life is much easier."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's why I brought her here and introduced her to you."

"If you get along well, you will at least have someone to talk to when you enter the city."

As for Qin Huairu, both of them tacitly did not mention it.

Jiang Ping'an didn't say anything, he wished that Qin Jingru would not get close to Qin Huairu, and had been on guard against Qin Huairu for a long time.

What about Qin Jingru? Since Qin Huairu went to the countryside last year, he has been very disgusted with her.

Even if she marries into the courtyard in the future, at most she will talk on the face, but she dare not talk to her heart.

Qin Jingru nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I'm quite happy with Yushui's temper, she always seems to know what I'm thinking."

"I feel it too. She seems to be accommodating me in everything. I feel very sorry."

Jiang Pingan sighed and said, "She has suffered a lot since she was a child, so she naturally learned to act according to people's faces."

"Don't think that she has a kind personality. On the contrary, she is usually on guard against everyone except me."

"Since she let you, you have to learn to accommodate her in the future, and you are not allowed to push her forward, you understand?"

Qin Jingru threw herself into his arms and said, "Understood, I'm not stupid."

"With such a compatible person to accompany me, it's too late for me to win her over, so I won't push forward and hurt her."

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "That's good."

"By the way, while it's still dark, I'll send three catties of stick noodles to Uncle Liang's house."

"You also take three catties of stick noodles and send them to Qin's Village."

"You picked so many fruits today, we can't take advantage of others."

Qin Jingru naturally complied, and the two went to the kitchen hand in hand, and took the cloth bag to distribute the food.

"You brought these stick noodles before, and they haven't been touched. I'll dry them every now and then for fear of breaking them."

She usually eats rice, white noodles and cornmeal, but she hasn't eaten cornmeal for a long time.

Jiang Ping'an brought back the stick noodles for the sake of friendship.

For any wedding or funeral in the countryside, the most practical thing is to send food.

If the relationship is really good, there are conditions in the family, and there are also rice noodles and bacon, and so on.
