Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 149 Zheng Sisi's Past

While the private room was being cleaned up, Eunuch Mu went to greet a few acquaintances.

In particular, the table of the wife of Duke Zheng consists of the families of the most important officials in the court, and they are very influential themselves.

The few noblemen who had just caused trouble for Zheng Sisi were all avoiding Eunuch Mu.

Because what they did today was not very glorious. If they were reported to the emperor, they would definitely be beaten when they returned home.

Zheng Sisi didn't have time to pay attention to them, so they took the initiative to go to the counter to pay the bill while no one was paying attention. Not only did they compensate for the dishes and chopsticks, they even refused the discount and left quickly after paying the bill.

Zheng Sisi personally arranged the dishes, and after the private room was cleaned up, she led Eunuch Mu and several eunuchs upstairs.

As soon as they left, the guests dining downstairs started discussing without any hesitation.

Everyone said they were lucky today as they could see such a grand scene while having a meal.

"I'm really lucky today. This is the first time I've seen the imperial edict being announced."

"Yes! Others go directly to the palace to announce the decree. This is rare outside the palace."

"Hey, did you hear clearly what the imperial edict said?"

"It seems that the girl just now was given the title of County Lady."

"Yes, there is also a fiefdom, what about a county?"

"Who is this girl? Even princes and marquises may not have fiefs. What did she do to make the emperor give her a fief?"

"Just now I heard something about designing new farm tools to reduce the labor of the people."

"That's what I heard, but I don't know what kind of farm implement it is. It should be very powerful."

"Ah! I know who she is!" suddenly a diner said, slapping the table.

"Who is it?" Everyone looked at the person who was speaking, with a look of curiosity on their faces.

The man just now said again: "She seems to be Xie Yunmei, the legitimate daughter of the Xie Mansion who was driven out of the Xie Mansion after divorcing the Marquis's Liu Shizi."

There was a chorus of “Tsk!”

Someone retorted: "Didn't you hear that the imperial edict just now said it was Zheng's daughter Sisi? The imperial edict said it was Zheng Sisi, but you said she was Xie Yunmei."

"That's right!" everyone echoed.

The man said aggrievedly: "I really saw her. She came out of the Marquis' Mansion that day. I followed her all the way and saw her arguing with Master Xie and wanted to break off the engagement. Don't disbelieve it!"

A guest stood up and seemed to know the inside story. He said, "Everyone, what the brother just said was right. She is the former Xie Yunmei. Do you remember that when the emperor was returning to the palace after praying for blessings, someone stopped him. It was this Xie Yunmei who did it. Later, she severed her relationship with the Xie family and changed her mother's surname to Sisi."

"I have an impression of what you said. I heard it from the neighbor next door."

"........."

"........."

There was a lively scene downstairs, with everyone talking about Zheng Sisi's past.

Zheng Sisi didn't have time to pay attention to them, nor did she care about what everyone said. She was now having dinner with Eunuch Mu and others.

She had been busy all morning and was indeed tired and hungry. The most important thing was to solve her own food and clothing problem.

Eunuch Mu had only eaten braised pork and marinated offal before, so he was surprised to see the table full of dishes that he didn’t even recognize!

"County Lady, you must have taught the kitchen staff how to make these dishes. I've never seen them before."

Zheng Sisi swallowed the food in her mouth, took a sip of tea and said, "Well, some of these dishes are made with common ingredients, like the braised pork feet, sweet and sour spareribs, stir-fried boneless meat, and braised dishes, all of which use pork.

This is something new. It uses bamboo shoots and is called stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with meat.

This is also a common raw material, but lotus root is something you haven’t tried before. Stir-fried lotus root slices, braised lotus root, and lotus root soup stewed with baby bones are very fresh and sweet. You should try them.”

Eunuch Mu and the eunuchs were stunned when they heard this. Everyone knew that bamboo shoots were edible, but they were bitter and astringent and no one wanted to eat them. However, the bamboo shoots fried in the county lord's restaurant were fragrant, crispy and a little sweet. Could it be that they were different bamboo shoots?

Can lotus root be eaten? They have never heard of it. They only drink lotus seeds in soup, but they are too bitter and don't want to drink it.

How come the county lady’s lotus root stew is so delicious? I don’t know what method she used.
