I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 79

"Yes." Zhou Chenyu walked in with a basket and raised his beloved smile, "Grandma Wang, I have brought you some fruits. This morning I went to pick up baskets of plums from my sworn brother Chen. We can’t finish it all, so I’ll give you a few kilograms as well.”

Grandma Wang wiped her hands and saw a basket of plums, and exclaimed: "So many? You gave us so much, is it enough for your own family?"

Zhou Chenyu handed over the fruit, "Don't worry, we have a lot left at home and we can't even finish it. Why don't you help us solve it?"

"You kid is really good at talking, so thank you." Grandma Wang brought a dustpan and put the plums over. Before Zhou Chenyu left, she also said she had time to come home for dinner.

Zhou Chenyu went out with the empty basket on his arm, and Huang Dou followed him out of the door. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the empty mossy stone steps in front of him, and he let out two alert shouts.

Zhou Chenyu looked over there, and saw several children about ten years old walking down the deep alley, each holding a bamboo in their hands, with a drop-shaped circle made of bamboo strips inserted into the end of the bamboo.

They used bamboo to prop up the water drop hoops under the eaves, stuck Spider-Man on top, and rolled up spider webs one after another. The originally thin layer was rolled up very thickly.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Chenyu was curious.

The children took the bamboo sticks from Li Xiuju. When they saw Zhou Chenyu, they replied obediently, "Sister Chenyu, we use this to catch dragonflies."

Catching dragonflies?
How to catch this?

Zhou Chenyu followed them to the field. Although it was afternoon, the sky was dark and a heavy rain seemed to be coming, so dozens of dragonflies were hovering above the field, and some even landed on the grass blades.

The oldest girl stared at a dragonfly. She held the bamboo with both hands and pointed it at the place where the dragonfly stayed temporarily. She took advantage of it and covered it with the thick spider web.

The dragonfly that was about to fly was instantly stuck on it, and it flapped hard for a few times. As a result, its wings were stuck on it tighter and tighter, and finally it paralyzed on it like a dead corpse and gave up its struggle.

It turned out to be the case.

"Can I try?" Zhou Chenyu asked, and the children fought for the land to touch their own bamboo.

Zhou Chenyu borrowed the bamboo from the little girl who picked up river clams that day. She watched a dragonfly slowly land on the purple wildflower. She walked over lightly. Just when she was about to take action, the dragonfly heard the movement and flew away.

"Sister Chen Yu, there is another one on your right." Someone reminded from behind.

Zhou Chenyu glanced there, held his breath, and took a quick and accurate shot at the dragonfly, "Hey, I caught it!"

Zhou Chenyu got over his addiction, returned the things to them, and then returned home.

The fruits used for making plum wine had been washed. Li Xiuju came out carrying a jar and a jar of rice wine and asked, "Have the fruits been delivered?"

"It's been delivered. Brother Shuqing and Sister Hongmei are not at home, only Grandma Wang." Zhou Chenyu sat in front of the fruit to help.

They used a sharp knife to make two shallow cuts at the tip of the plum to make a fork shape. It rained during the process, causing them to quickly move their things back to the house to hide from the rain.

But not long after we moved into the house, the dark clouds receded and the sun came out again.

After they scored all the fruits, they put them into a jar, added a few hard candies, poured rice wine over the fruits, then covered the small bowl like pickled sour beans, poured well water around the bowl, and sealed it for a while. It can be eaten after two months.

After brewing the plum wine, the sunshine gradually weakened, and it was time for dinner again.Li Xiuju moved the jar back to the storage room, without stopping for a moment, busy thinking about tonight's meal, "Chen Yu, the river clams you picked up yesterday have almost been vomited on the ground. Tonight, mother will make stir-fried river clams, and then How about making some river clam and loofah soup?"

If you eat too much chicken and pork, it’s also good to switch to seafood and river delicacies occasionally.Zhou Chenyu replied excitedly: "Okay!"

Li Xiuju immediately took a knife to the vegetable garden, cut a newly formed loofah, and picked a handful of green onions.

When it gets dark, the ducks that were kept free in the pond automatically return to the pen to look for food, while there is another chicken wandering in the back mountain, not returning for a long time.

Zhou Chenyu took the soybeans and searched all over the mountains and fields, and it took a lot of effort to catch them.She carried the chicken back by its wings, fed it, and put it in a cage.

Before entering the house, Zhou Chenyu seemed to hear Chen Tongsheng's voice in a trance. She quickened her pace and returned to the yard. Sure enough, she saw Chen Tongsheng sitting there with a cup of tea. Huangdou screamed when she saw him.

Chen Tongsheng finished the tea and glared at Huang Dou, "Hey, you little guy has only been away from home for a few days, and you don't recognize me so quickly."

Chen Tongsheng caught Huang Dou, and the meat on the dog's head was squeezed into a ball by him, and he couldn't open his eyes.

"You're going to scare our Huangdou as soon as you come here." Zhou Chenyu rolled his head and walked up to him, "When did you come?"

Li Xiuju came out of the kitchen with a happy look on her face, "Tong Sheng has been here for a while and said he has something important to discuss with you."

Chen Tongsheng put down his tea bowl, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Chen Yu, I'm here to discuss something important with you."

important?

Zhou Chenyu glanced at Li Xiuju, then sat down in front of Chen Tongsheng, "Brother Chen, what's important?"

Chen Tongsheng finished a bowl of tea and said anxiously: "I took over a job when I went back in the afternoon. A few days later, a squire in the city held a housewarming ceremony and asked me to deliver some fresh fruits on time. When the man told me, He also mentioned the mung bean sugar water, saying that he had eaten mung bean and taro ball sugar water and it was very good to relieve the heat, so he wanted to spend a lot of money to hire someone to make sugar water for the guests at the banquet, but unfortunately he could not find anyone. I I’m thinking, aren’t you the only one selling mung bean syrup in Qingshui Town?”

what?
Is there such a good thing?

Zhou Chenyu suppressed his heart that was about to move, "You mean, on the days when the banquet is held, they are going to invite me to the house to make sugar water?"

Chen Tongsheng clapped his hands vigorously, "That's right, are you willing to go?"

The way to make money by selling sugar water was blocked. Zhou Chenyu was worried that he had no place to make money. Now he would make sugar water at someone else's house. With so much money, he wouldn't waste money on others, right?
She responded excitedly, "Go! Of course I will go!"

With Chen Tongsheng taking care of her, Li Xiuju was much less worried than before. She quickly shouted and said with a smile: "Tongsheng, you treat us Shen Yu and Baoyu so well. Don't go back tonight. My godmother is about to cook, so you can stay and eat." Let’s go before leaving!”

Chen Tongsheng touched his head in embarrassment and said awkwardly: "Godmother, is this appropriate?"

Li Xiuju changed her face and scolded, "Why is it inappropriate?"

"I came back from picking up so many plums today, and the old lady told me again and again that I must invite you to our house for a meal. Now that you are here just in time, it saves me trouble. You must stay, otherwise I will have to I got scolded." Zhou Chenyu also smiled.

Li Xiuju looked at the sharp-tongued Zhou Chenyu, pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right!"
