Mrs. Zhou, holding a bunch of radishes in her hand, walked over and saw the wood, frowned, and then squatted down and scraped the wood with a knife.

She sniffed the scraped powder with her fingers, her eyes were stunned, and she exclaimed, "This is the best sandalwood."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng both came around.

"Mother, is this really sandalwood? How can there be sandalwood in this stone field?"

Mrs. Zhou looked up at the surrounding trees and said, "Xu is that this place used to be a sandalwood field, but later it was cut down, and some of the wood was buried underground. This

explanation is far-fetched, but there is no other reason to explain what is going on.

In the end, Du Bangchun broke their doubts and said with a smile: "Mother, let's dig out this sandalwood quickly, and we can also make incense together when the time comes."

When Aunt Zhou heard this, her face was full of joy, "That's right, such a big good sandalwood, if it is made into incense, it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money."

She hurriedly recruited her two sons to dig together.

Du Bangchun worked on the side, and soon a sandalwood tree with at least one meter long was dug up.

Zhou Zhao tied the piece of wood with a rope and carried it on his back.

Du Bangchun helped put all the radishes pulled out into the back basket, and followed Aunt Zhou to walk home with a basket on her back.

Zhou Feng followed behind, holding the vegetables he had just picked in his hand.

The family returned home full of loads.

After Du Bangchun helped Aunt Zhou clean up the radish first, he helped clean up the piece of sandalwood.

Waiting for the evening, she and Zhou Ruiyuan loaded the cleaned radishes onto the carriage.

The two couples took advantage of the fact that before it got dark, they sent the radishes to the Li Mansion and the Fang Mansion.

Aunt He gave her the remaining two hundred wen.

The Fang family was generous, and when they sent the radish in, the housekeeper of the Fang family gave them a reward of one or two pieces of silver.

That's a lot of money.

Du Bangchun looked at the silver in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.

This was the first time she had seen so much silver since she was a child.

With the silver and copper plates, the family finally didn't have to go hungry anymore.

Zhou Ruiyuan watched her staring at Yinzi's moist eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, and hugged her into his arms.

"Don't worry, we'll have many, many more in the future.

Du Bangchun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily, "Hmm!"

The two of them took the copper plates and silver, and in addition to the boiler used to make the incense, they also bought some rice and oil, as well as some cloth.

In addition, he also bought some pen and ink for Zhou Feng.

After I bought all these things, it was already dark when I went back.

Aunt Zhou cooked rice, burned radish soup and Chinese cabbage, and waited for Du Bangchun and them to come back for dinner.

As soon as Du Bangchun arrived at home, he smelled the aroma of rice, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Zhou Ruiyuan called Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng to help bring the things they bought into the house.

Aunt Zhou looked at the boiler and bottle she bought, a trace of sentimentality flashed in her eyes, she silently took these two things to the backyard, and they didn't come out for a long time.

Du Bangchun brought the fabric into the house and went to the backyard to call her for dinner.

"Mother, it's time to eat.

Aunt Zhou wiped away a handful of tears, and hurriedly raised her head and said, "Okay, I'll come over now."

Du Bangchun looked at the tears on her face, approached her and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Zhou's nose was slightly sour, and she said with a smile: "I thought that Ruiyuan and I were finished, but looking at these sandalwood and roses, I know that our road is endless."

Du Bangchun looked at her like this, and after pondering for a while, he finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Mother, were you and Xianggong a big family in the capital before?"

Du Bangchun was slightly stunned when she heard this, since Aunt Zhou didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force it, she made up her mind from the beginning, no matter what her father-in-law's background was, she would stand by his side unswervingly.

She bent her eyebrows and changed the topic with Aunt Zhou: "Mother, come and eat, when we finish eating, we will hurry up and make the fragrance."

Aunt Zhou's face was much better, and she nodded: "Well, Bang Chun, you eat first, and my mother will come."

Du Bangchun responded with a smile: "Okay, mother, hurry up, otherwise the food will be cold."

Aunt Zhou nodded at her.

After the family had dinner, Du Bangchun was busy making fragrant dew with Aunt Zhou.

They had to set up the boiler for the fragrance first.

Few people make incense in Cheng'an County, so Du Bangchun bought the simplest steamer.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou has craftsmanship, and within a while, she transformed the steamer into a stove that can make fragrance.

The two mothers-in-law washed the petals of the roses, and then put them on to steam one pot after another.

Zhou Zhao was responsible for chopping wood, and Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng were responsible for lighting the fire.

After steaming all night, the next morning, I finally made the first bottle of perfume.

Aunt Zhou took the newly made rose fragrance dew to her nose and smelled it, she was startled, and called to Du Bangchun: "Bangchun, Ruiyuan, come and smell it, this fragrance is different!"
