Chapter 44
The days passed quickly, and it was time for the strawberries to ripen in a blink of an eye.

Gu Nanyan's family was in full swing, and the workers were all smiling and began to reap the fruits of their labor.

Standing in Greenhouse No. [-], Gu Nanyan looked at the crystal clear, red and big strawberries all over the floor, and couldn't help but squat down to pick one.

One bite, the sweet juice mixed with the unique fragrance instantly overflows the mouth.

Gu Nanyan sighed contentedly, and couldn't help picking a few more.

When Gu Laishhou came in, a small piece of the strawberry was gone, and the corner of his mouth twitched to stop Gu Nanyan.

This is the result of their hard work for several months. If she is allowed to eat freely, the entire greenhouse may not be enough for her to fit between her teeth.

Gu Nanyan swallowed the juice in his mouth, picked the smallest one from his hand and handed it to him.

Gu Laishhou pursed his lips. He secretly tasted it half a month ago. It was sour and astringent. He didn't know what it tasted like.

But he couldn't bear to brush off his niece's kindness, so he took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as he ate it in his mouth, Gu Laishhou was stunned. Is this the sour fruit?
It's just that it turned red and grew up a little, but it's so delicious!
He hurriedly bent down, picked another big one and took it off.

So when Aunt Cui came in, all she saw were one big and one small figures picking strawberries with their buttocks pouted.

The veins on her forehead throbbed with anger.

Everyone is busy, these two guys are stealing food!

She was just about to go up and give Gu Laishhou a kick, when she suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance at the tip of her nose, and her steps stopped instantly.

Mrs. Bai took a few villagers to work to transport the carts of watermelons to the yard, but she didn't see Aunt Cui when she turned around, thinking that she was still busy in the field.

Unexpectedly, it was almost time for lunch, and she was still missing. At the same time, Gu Nanyan was also missing.

She wondered if something had happened, so she wanted to go out and look for it, but she saw Gu Nanyan and Aunt Cui walking in with each other's support.

Behind him was Gu Laishhou who was rubbing his stomach with a satisfied face.

Bai: "..."

Looking at the red juice on the lips of the three of them, he used his heels to wonder what these three guys did.

Aunt Cui handed a basket to Mrs. Bai with a dry smile.

"This thing looks pretty good, but I didn't expect it to taste good too. My sister will try it too."

After all, before Bai Shi could react, she quickly put down the basket in her hand, and quickly entered the room under her feet.

Squatting on the ground to pick strawberries all morning, her waist was about to break.

But these strawberries are really delicious, I wonder if I can ask Gu Nanyan for some seeds, in case she returns to the palace in the future, she will also plant some in the backyard.

Bai Shi looked at the bamboo basket the size of a bowl, then at Gu Nanyan who was also holding his waist with erratic eyes, and took a deep breath.

She can't be angry, she is the queen of a country, she wants to be the mother of the world, and she must not ruin her image because of Cui Guifei's monster.

Bai's breath got stuck in her throat and she couldn't get up and down, and based on the principle that she should not feel comfortable if she is hurting others, she put the small basket of strawberries brought back by Aunt Cui in front of Li Mi.

Take a look at what your concubine has been doing all morning!
Li Mi was sitting in the yard beating his legs. He pushed the cart back and forth several times, his legs were shaking.

Seeing the small basket Bai put in front of him, he thought it was for him to eat, and couldn't help feeling warm.

Sure enough, his wife knew how to love him even more. It was because he was tired all morning, and he was afraid that he would be thirsty and hungry.

Li Mi patted Bai's hand with gentle eyes.

"I'm full, you can eat with Xu'er and the others."

Where can I find such a caring daughter-in-law? He vowed to treat their mother and child well in the future.

But should I say it or not, although the thing called cucumber has no taste, it tastes very clear.

And there is still a lot of juice, he ate more than a dozen of them, and now his stomach thumps every time he moves.

Seeing the same stained corners of Li Mi's mouth, Bai Shi was so angry that he almost died on the spot.

No wonder Aunt Cui was favored so much when she was in the palace, he thought that this dog man had a rare color, but it turned out that these two people have similar tastes!

Yue Mo was so angry that she actually felt surprisingly calm at the moment.

Looking at the watermelon on the table beside him, Bai Shimu smashed it with his palm.

With a bang, the watermelon split in two, and the juice dripped all over the table in an instant.

Li Mi:! ! !
Bai Shi took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped off the watermelon juice stuck to his hands, as if nothing had happened, he went into the kitchen with a basket to help.

She has long discovered that the skin of this watermelon is very crisp, and it will crack with a little force.

Although his hand hurts a bit, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Nanyan saw that Mrs. Bai was gone, and ran to Li Mi in a stroll, squinting at him with disdain.

"If you don't work hard, you will know how to eat. Why didn't you kill you?"

After all, he strolled and ran again.

Li Mi: "..."

Can you wipe your mouth clean before talking about me!
Gu Nanyan earlier ordered a thousand small bamboo baskets from Aunt Huang's house.

There are two types of baskets, one is round, about the size of two babies' fists, and is used to hold strawberries.

There is also a square shape, just wide enough to hold a row of cucumbers.

Shopkeeper Wu who came over after hearing the news, his eyes lit up when he saw the neatly packed, attractively packaged fruits.

Under Gu Nanyan's introduction, he tasted everything, and finally his eyes narrowed.

Gu Nanyan handed over the negotiation of the price to Gu Chengzong, while she leisurely sat on the recliner in the courtyard and ate watermelon.

With a gentle smile on his face, Gu Chengzong chatted with shopkeeper Wu for a long time.

Finally, the price was set at ten taels per catty for cucumbers, 15 taels per catty for watermelons, and 25 taels per catty for strawberries, the most expensive.

Gu Laishhou was speechless as he listened from the sidelines. Among other things, the smallest big watermelon weighed 300 catties. Wouldn't it cost [-] taels of silver each!
He clutched his chest and felt a little breathless, looking at Gu Nanyan who was holding half a watermelon and gnawing on it.

So the 500 taels that his little niece gave him was enough to buy one and a half watermelons?
Also, did the Bai family smash more than 300 taels of silver just now? !
Bai Shi felt a little guilty, and secretly glanced at Gu Nanyan, and was relieved to see that she was not angry.

After she returns to the palace, I will subsidize her with some good things from myself.

These in the yard are only the amount picked today, and shopkeeper Wu hurriedly asked people to load them.

He himself happily walked to Gu Nanyan's side.

"Do you think the silver will be stored in the bank for you or will you be given a bank note directly?"

Gu Nanyan tilted her head and thought for a while, "Let's save it in the bank. There are still shares from your master in it, so you can deduct it."

At the beginning, she didn't have time to discuss with Li Yi how to divide it, and she couldn't say the exact amount, but according to his character, he definitely wouldn't cheat her.

Shopkeeper Wu chuckled when he heard the words, "That's between you and the boss. I just take care of Fumanlou, and the money will be deposited in the bank for you."

He doesn't dare to decide this matter, anyway, the master will come over in a few days, let them talk about it by themselves.

Gu Nanyan nodded in response, "I also planted some water spinach here, and I will let my third uncle take you to the field to pick some back and try it later."

Shopkeeper Wu's eyes lit up again. The dishes in his shop were sold out more than a month ago, and this time they just made up for it.

He was just about to ask Gu Nan the price of cigarettes, when she heard her say calmly: "I won't charge you for these water spinach, but you have to guarantee that the price in your store will not be higher than one tael."

Shopkeeper Wu was startled when he heard the words, if this dish was brought to Fumanlou, let alone one tael of silver, it would be eaten by ten taels and twenty taels.

The price is set so low, I'm afraid I have to rush crazy.

He was just about to ask for clarification, but Gu Nanyan waved his hand at him and said, "If you tell King Sheng about this, he will naturally understand."

It wasn't for making money in the first place, those strawberries and watermelons were enough for her to earn a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Wu heard that she had already talked with the master, so he didn't ask any more questions, and happily returned to Fumanlou with several carts of fruits and vegetables.

The villagers were tired from working all day, Gu Nanyan brought each of them a basket of strawberries and cucumbers, everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to say.

This is a rare thing. I didn't see that the restaurants in the town drove several cars to pull it. They had never even seen it before.

What's more, in this winter, the old masters in the town can't eat such fresh fruits. They are following Miss Gu to get all the food.

The villagers left Gu's house happily, but Gu Nanyan was planning to open a shop in the house.
