The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 399: Sunbathing

Now that farming is no longer busy, Zhou Mingshu had a rare good night's sleep.

She looked at the bright sunshine outside and yawned big and long.

Lun Lun rubbed his shoulders. Fortunately, Lord Qi and others helped them these days, otherwise they would still be working hard in the vegetable garden.

No matter what, she must repay this favor.

"Saya, are you ready? When are we going to the restaurant?" Zhou Mingqi tapped the window.

"It will be ready soon. I'll be right out."

Zhou Mingshu casually tied his hair with a silk ribbon and hurried out to pack.

It would be such a waste to just sleep in such nice weather.

After washing up, she simply ate an egg and drank half a bowl of porridge.

"Big sister, please wait for me for a moment. I will take the quilt out to dry in the sun."

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi had already harnessed the donkey cart and were just waiting for her.

"We'll be busy in the restaurant until the evening. When we get back it will be dark and dewy. Wouldn't it be a waste to dry your quilt in the sun?"

"It's okay. I'll ride Jinzi over there today and come back when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll also take the quilt out to dry in the sun."

They waited until everything was ready before going out together.

Zhou Mingshu still made those common stews.

There is nothing special about potatoes compared to other vegetables. Zhou Mingshu only needs to demonstrate it once, and several chefs at home will be able to make them almost the same way. After all, they are all made from the same ingredients.

At lunch time, everyone saw new dishes coming up and tried them one after another.

No one expected this dish to be so delicious. It tastes different from the vegetables we usually eat. Although it looks a bit like radish, it tastes nothing like it.

However, some people like to eat it and some people don’t like to eat it, but this kind of voice is relatively rare.

Zhou Mingshu helped to clean up the dishes. Not long after, Lord Qi and Lord Rufeng came over.

As soon as I arrived, I went to the private room on the second floor.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" Zhou Mingshu wiped the table with a clean rag.

"If you have anything delicious, just bring it up."

Qi Rui crossed his hands and placed them under his chin, looking like a prince supporting his girlfriend.

Zhou Mingshu smiled, turned around and went downstairs to help them serve the dishes.

"One steamed sea bass, one dish of cumin-flavored diced potatoes, one dish of spicy and sour bamboo shoots and tripe, one dish of stir-fried broccoli with shrimp, and one dish of vegetable meatball soup."

Zhou Mingshu brought the food over. The red and green colors looked very appetizing.

"This cumin diced potatoes is a new dish. I'll try this first."

Seeing Qi Rui picking up his chopsticks towards the dish, Zhou Mingshu smiled with all his teeth showing.

This dish would taste better if there was starchy ham sausage.

"My Lord, please take your time to eat. People downstairs are busy. I'll go and take care of them first and bring you some fruit later."

"it is good."

Zhou Mingshu considerately closed the door for them.

Qi Rui looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him. They were all excellent dishes. He couldn't finish them all anyway, so he motioned Rufeng next to him to sit down and eat with him.

"Master, what is this dish? We don't think we have seen it before." Rufeng asked while looking at the plate of green broccoli.

Qi Rui had noticed this dish a long time ago. "Mingshu just mentioned what kind of flower it was. I guess it's the same kind of vegetable as the cauliflower we picked before. As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter what kind of flowers or leaves it has."

Rufeng chuckled, what the master said made a lot of sense.

So I rewarded myself with a bowl full of vegetable meatball soup.

Wow, it tastes so good~~ I am so grateful to Miss Mingshu for bringing me this.

When Zhou Mingshu went upstairs with the fruit plate, Qi Rui and Rufeng were standing in front of the window admiring the scenery outside.

"My Lord, you guys eat so fast, are you full? Do you want two more dishes?"

Zhou Mingshu puffed out his cheeks and put the fruit plate on the table.

Qi Rui and Rufeng touched their round bellies and shook their heads.

"No, no, I'm full. Standing up now is a good way to digest the food."

"Haha, that's good. This is the fruit I just cut. Would you like to try it?"

Qi Rui sat back at the dining table, took a piece of kiwi fruit and put it in his mouth. The juice was sweet and fresh, and it was very refreshing.

"Mingshu, are you done downstairs?"

"Yeah, I'm almost done. Although some people haven't finished eating, they don't need me anymore."

"Okay, that's good. Why don't you accompany me downstairs for a walk? The sun is shining brightly outside. Let's go get some sun."

"Okay, let's go now."

Getting more sun exposure is good for health, and it can also enhance calcium absorption and promote her bone development.

At her age, she should get more sun exposure and eat more eggs and meat.

"Mingshu, I have something to tell you." Qi Rui's bright expression just now actually had a hint of sadness.

"What's wrong, sir? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhou Mingshu poked him curiously.

"It's early autumn now. I may have to return to Beijing to report on my work in a while. I don't know if I can come back before the New Year."

"Returning to the capital to report is an official duty of the court. If the emperor summons you, then you should go and report. What's wrong with that?"

"I know about the official business, but I just thought that I might be late for your coming-of-age party..."

"Sir, I thought it was something else, just a coming-of-age ceremony. Don't take it to heart. I don't think it's that important. Compared to my matter, it's more important for you to return to the capital to report on your work."

"By the way, why do we have to go back to Beijing to report on our work so early? I heard that it usually starts at the end of the year, right?"

In Zhou Mingshu's eyes, there is no difference between a coming-of-age ceremony and a birthday party.

In the past, on every birthday, she would invite some relatives and friends to get together in a restaurant, eat cake and drink some wine to have fun.

Now that she has come to another world, she is already very satisfied to have her family accompany her, and whether her friends can come depends entirely on whether the conditions allow.

Qi Rui lowered his eyelashes, "You know that this is the first year that our mine has been operating, and both the government and the people attach great importance to it."

"Besides, Chengzhou is far away from Kyoto due to the high mountains and long roads. We have to carry such heavy refined iron with us, so we definitely can't travel fast."

Zhou Mingshu nodded, what the adult said was indeed the case.

The emperor has such a valuable project in his hands, and he must be eager to hear the reports from his subordinates as soon as possible and discuss how to make more profits in the coming year.

"Sir, what you are talking about is really important. You must prepare it as soon as possible. The emperor is not someone you can easily mess with. If you don't report well, he will 'snap' someone's head off."

When Zhou Mingshu thought of this terrible thing, there was an exaggerated expression on his face, which made Qi Rui laugh.

"Don't worry, I will prepare well."

"If I really can't make it back by then, your coming-of-age ceremony won't be missed."

"Haha, that's not important." You should come back safely first, I'm really worried that your boss will give you a few beatings...
