Sweet Garden Sands

Chapter 195 Smear behind
195
When facing a large table full of delicacies, Ke Hanxue couldn't help sighing: It's great to be rich!
These meals may not be available even in "Fulin Restaurant", presumably the cooks from Xiangfu paid a lot of money to invite them.
Ke Hanxue vowed secretly that one day, she would also have such a life!

"Miss Xue'er..."

"Mrs. Xiang, you can just call me Xue'er." Ke Hanxue interrupted Yuan Peilan with a chuckle, she was not used to calling herself Miss, Miss or something.

"Okay, Xue'er." This was exactly what Yuan Peilan wanted, and it didn't seem so unfamiliar to call her name directly.

"Xue'er, treat this as your own home and eat whatever you want, so don't be polite."

"OK."

"Xue'er, eat it while it's hot." Xiang Huaijun also spoke.

Xiang Qiuxin sandwiched a piece of bacon for Ke Hanxue, and said, "Xue'er, try this bacon. I bought it at 'Fulin Restaurant'. It's delicious."

"Thank you." Ke Hanxue pursed her lips and smiled. If they knew that the bacon was from her hands, how would they react?
At the dinner table, Yuan Peilan kept asking about the situation of Ke Hanxue's family, while Xiang Qiuxin kept bringing food to her, and Xiang Huaijun would occasionally ask one or two questions until he got a satisfactory answer. For the first time, Ke Hanxue knew that eating a meal can be so busy.
After dinner, Xiang Huaijun and his wife and Xiang Qiuxin sent her to the gate of Xiangfu. They wanted the carriage in the mansion to take her back, but Ke Hanxue refused.

………. .

As soon as the first month passed, the rice in the field was almost ripe. At this time, Ke Hanchun had already started to conceive at home, and Kong Dafu also pulled the ox cart back.

Ke Hanchun arranged two routes for his father and brother-in-law. Because his father wanted to do the work of "Zhou Ji", he took Shuihe Village as the starting point and the town as the end point, doing one trip every day.

And Kong Dafu started from Sanfeng Village in Lincun, Xiangshui Village, and ended in the town. No matter how many guests there were, he would make two trips every day.

Once this route is arranged, it will not only be convenient for the folks in the ten miles and eight villages, but also make more money for the family.

Perhaps it was because there were no silkworm cocoons to sell during the New Year, and the villagers had no money, so not many people went to the town, but two ox carts could still earn a hundred yuan a day.
In mid-February, the rice in the field was ripe. Taking advantage of the good weather, the villagers were busy harvesting rice, and Ke Hanxue's family was no exception.

Because Ke Shuisheng and Kong Dafu had to pull carts, the family was short of staff, so the Ke family's rice still needed the help of Zhong's family.
After harvesting the rice, Ke Shuisheng and Kong Dafu came back every evening and started busy plowing the land again.
During this period, the Ai family also distributed new silkworm eggs to the villagers, and everyone started to get busy again.
Those folks who planted rice last season and had a good harvest tasted the sweetness. While raising silkworms, they also turned over all their land that could grow rice, planning to plant a large amount of rice.
The villagers in other villages saw that the folks in Shuihe Village could grow high-yield rice, but the yield they grew was far inferior to that in Shuihe Village, so they thought that the land in their village was not suitable for growing rice, so they gave up growing rice. Thinking about it, he concentrated on raising silkworms, which also made Ai Yiyang let go of the big stone in his heart.

After planting the seedlings, it seems that it is the season of mulberry ripening again.

Ke Hanxue released news in the village, saying that he wanted to buy mature mulberries, one penny per catty, and only one day.
The folks in the village were very happy when they found out. Although they don’t know what Ke Hanxue bought the mulberry for, there are not many old mulberry trees that can bear mulberries. Three hundred catties of mature mulberries come, that is to say, each household can earn a few hundred more coins.

On the day when Ke Hanxue bought mulberries, the yard was crowded with villagers who came to sell mulberries. After Ke Hanxue weighed them one by one, he paid the money, and the villagers dispersed.
A few villagers also asked Ke Hanxue directly, would they still accept it in a few days?Because there are still some immature mulberries on the mulberry trees in their house.

Ke Hanxue smiled and persuaded them to leave the rest for the children as snacks, and don't treat the children badly. Those people thought it made sense after thinking about it, so they went home happily.
After harvesting the mulberries, Ke Hanxue spread out the bamboo curtains for drying the millet in the yard, poured the mulberries on the bamboo curtains, and then picked out the rotten mulberries with Ke Zhongshi and Ke Hanchun.
Because the cost of mulberry juice is low, Ke Hanxue used all the first batch of purchased mulberries to make mulberry juice.
After the mulberry juice was brewed, Ke Hanxue went to the restaurant to buy wine, preparing to brew mulberry wine.

Seeing that Ke Hanxue only bought more than 1000 catties of wine, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked: "Girl, you bought these wines to make tonic wine, right?"

"Yes." Ke Hanxue nodded.

"Girl, how can one thousand catties be enough?" The shopkeeper said, "At least two thousand catties must be brewed, right?"

"Shopkeeper, can I credit the wine money first?" Ke Hanxue asked with a smile lying on the counter.

"What's on credit, I think my son has no problem giving it to you!" The shopkeeper joked, knowing that this girl would not take advantage of others.

"Then I don't dare to ask for it. He is an uncertain person. It's not good to come to the door one day to ask for the bill." Ke Hanxue wrinkled her nose and smiled.

As soon as Ke Hanxue's words fell, Ge Yunzhang's gloomy voice came from behind: "Who says it's cloudy?"

Ke Hanxue turned around sharply, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ge, are you there?"

Ge Yunzhang snorted coldly at her.
"Shopkeeper, I haven't finished talking just now. I mean that although your young master is sometimes cloudy and uncertain, he is a handsome man with extraordinary bearing, and he is both talented and good-hearted, which is enough to make up for his smallness. It's missing." Ke Hanxue turned around and smiled dryly at the shopkeeper.

As the saying goes: You can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night!She just said something to smear him and was heard. This luck is really bad, Ke Hanxue pouted depressedly.

Although she knew that Ke Hanxue was talking nonsense with her eyes open, Ge Yunzhang felt very useful for her words, and the corners of her lips couldn't stop rising.

At this time, the mute walked past the two of them, picking out his ears as he walked, making it clear that he disdained what Ke Hanxue said.

Ge Yunzhang stared, and before he could make a move, the mute had already run away.
The shopkeeper had a hard time holding back his laughter, so he could only lower his head and pretend to be fiddling with the abacus and secretly smiled.

Ge Yunzhang glanced at the shopkeeper lightly, and said to Ke Hanxue: "Go back, someone will deliver the wine to your house tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Ke Hanxue walked to the door and turned back and shouted: "Ge Yunzhang, do you want to go back?"

"I'm not going back today, you go back first, be careful."

"Ge Gongzi, is Miss Xue'er your wife?" A little girl asked curiously when she heard the conversation between the two.
