After peeling the fresh peanuts, remove the fresh red skin to reveal the white, tender and juicy peanut kernels. Put them directly into your mouth and chew them slowly.

The peanut kernels are fresh and have never been dried in the sun. They are full of moisture, crispy when chewed, with juice splashing all over your mouth. They are extremely fragrant, and the more you chew them, the mellower and more fragrant they become.

Carefully remove the green skin of fresh walnuts, being careful not to get your hands blackened by the juice that oozes out of the green skin. Use a nutcracker to remove the hard outer shell of the walnut, and then peel off the inner layer of the walnut kernel to get fresh raw walnut kernels.

Walnut kernels and fresh peanut kernels have similar taste and texture. Both are juicy, fragrant and delicious. The more you eat, the more you want to eat, and it seems like you can't stop.

When the food becomes boring, add fresh peanuts and walnut kernels to water and grind them into a fine paste. Use gauze to filter it into fine peanut and walnut juice, cook it into a pot with rich fragrance, and have a bowl of it in the morning. It will provide you with sufficient nutrition for the whole day and make you feel energetic.

Although the weather was a little chilly in the morning and at night, Xia Mingyue still liked to eat cold food. She just chilled the fragrant and delicious peanut and walnut juice, drank it in one gulp, and was very satisfied.

Manager Fu also liked the delicate peanut and walnut juice very much. He asked He Shunzi to buy some extremely fresh peanuts and walnuts from nearby farmers. He kept some for consumption here and sent the rest to Dexinyuan.

Old Madam He had drunk this kind of peanut and walnut juice before, but she used to live in a large mansion, and all her food and drinks had to go through layers of screening and selection. By the time this farm produce reached the table, it had already turned into a paste made of dried peanuts and dried walnuts. Although the taste was mellow and rich, it lacked the flavor of the fresh ones.

If something like this was sent to Dexin Garden, I think Madam He would be very happy with it.

With this in mind, Manager Fu sent back some of the five-spice edamame and five-spice peanuts cooked by Xia Mingyue.

They rode at full speed and it only took half a day for these not rare but delicious things to be delivered to Madam He.

Madam He tasted everything and couldn't stop praising them. "They're good. They're much better than those tributes from here and carefully selected ones from there. No wonder some old people always like to live in seclusion in the mountains. Life there is much better than living in a high-walled courtyard."

Mother Gui and Biyun didn't know who the old thing that Old Madam He was talking about was, but seeing that Old Madam He was in a very good mood at the moment, they hurriedly served her with peeled fresh peanuts.

Old Madam He ate a few more and asked Mother Gui to take the fresh peanuts to the small kitchen to pickle them so that she could eat something salty.

The walnut kernels are mixed with some bitter chrysanthemum in the small kitchen and served as a cold dish to go with rice.

“Why don’t we find some fresh almonds and mix them in. It will give it a different flavor,” suggested Gui’s mother.

"Okay." Madam He agreed readily, and then said, "Since these almonds can be used to make almond tofu, why not let the kitchen try to make some walnut tofu or peanut tofu to see how it tastes."

Almonds have a special aftertaste. It’s okay if they are eaten cold, but if they are ground into pulp and made into a dessert, Mrs. He doesn’t like the taste very much.

Mother Gui guessed that since this dessert contained almond tofu, and she had never heard of walnut tofu and peanut tofu, she thought that if these two things were made into desserts, they would probably not be satisfactory, so it did not spread.

However, my old lady is not an ordinary person, and her love for this taste is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Since it is the old lady's order, I naturally have to try it...

Mother Gui thought about it and gave the order.

The master and servant had just finished discussing the food when the servant came to report that someone wanted to see Madam He.

"Who?" Old Madam He frowned slightly.

She had lived in Dexinyuan for quite some time, but no one had ever disturbed her. Now someone was looking for her... Madam He swallowed the walnut kernels she had just chewed and said two words, "No see."

"But the other party said that he is the fifth son of the Cui family. He knew that Madam He was recuperating here, so he came here specially to visit her." The servant whispered.

"Since you know I'm resting here, why do you come here to disturb me?" Madam He snorted coldly, "When did the Cui family's tutor become like this?"

"Go and tell him not to be so sceptical. Otherwise, I might get angry and go to the emperor to complain. I'll tell him what's wrong with these younger generations and whether his usual discipline has gone to waste!"

The old lady was obviously angry. The servant was so frightened that he shrank his neck again and again. He nodded repeatedly and retreated in a hurry.

Then he went to the gatehouse, thinking about how to express the old lady's words more tactfully, so as not to embarrass the fifth young master of the Cui family.

He walked to the gatehouse thoughtfully and saw Cui Wendong, who was now dressed neatly in gorgeous clothes. The servant bowed and said, "Mr. Cui Wu, please go back. The old lady will not see guests."

not see?

Cui Wendong was a little embarrassed and asked hurriedly, "Did you tell me that I am a child of the Cui family?"

"I have already explained Mr. Cui Wu's identity to the old lady, but the old lady lives in seclusion and doesn't like to be disturbed. Mr. Cui Wu, please go back." The servant replied.

Cui Wendong heard this, still unwilling to give up, "It is precisely because Madam He lives in seclusion here that I am concerned about her, so I came to visit her and brought some medicinal supplements with me. I hope Madam He will not dislike them."

"Please tell them that I don't want anything else but to pay my respects to Madam He. If I can see that Madam He is safe and sound, I will feel relieved."

After saying that, Cui Wendong even winked at Qingsong next to him.

Qingsong understood and stuffed a silver ingot into the servant's hand.

The servant was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Could it be that Master Cui Wu doesn't understand what people say?
He has already made his words so clearly, yet you are still so persistent?

What is most disgusting is what comes out of the mouth of Mr. Cui Wu.

What worries, what other requests, just to greet...

What about the liar?
The relationship between the Cui family and the He family was average to begin with, and even because of many things in the court, the two families appeared to be harmonious on the surface, but were actually competing secretly.

Under such circumstances, the young man of the Cui family, who had never seen Madam He, suddenly showed so much filial piety. If he said he had no ulterior motive, then he would eat up this gate bite by bite!

No wonder the old lady frowned when she heard that the fifth son of the Cui family was coming to visit.

It seems that he can see through it at a glance! (End of this chapter)
