In the north, grapes are rare, especially wild grapes the size of beans.

In fact, Xia Xiaochan has lived in Beidi for so long. She never thought that Beidi would produce grapes, even if they look like wild grapes.

Xia Xiaochan can make wine. She remembers that the purple liquid emits a blurred light in the glass cup. When she takes a sip, it tastes mellow and sweet with endless aftertaste. She can't help but feel happy.

The woman selling this wild grape is a haggard woman. Her hair has begun to be gray, and her clothes are patched up. Such a poor woman is rarely seen in the north.

Xia Xiaochan came up and said, "is this a wild grape? How to sell it?"

The woman was a little depressed. She sold the grapes for several days. Because the grapes were too sour, no one bought her grapes at all. At this time, she hesitated and said, "madam, this is really a wild grape, just... Just... A little sour."

Xia Xiaochan picked one that looked darker, wiped it with a handkerchief and put it into her mouth.

The next moment, a sour and astringent taste poured into the taste buds.

However, Xia Xiaochan was not disappointed, but her eyes were brighter and brighter.

The woman was a little depressed, and her family was almost out of water. Only because there was a sick husband and son in the family, the heavy responsibility of the family fell on one woman. Although she was diligent, she could not supply two patients.

If a family has one patient, it will be very angry, not to mention two patients? If some families have a patient for a long time, the family will be ruined.

Thinking that the wild grapes she picked in the mountains could not be sold, the woman couldn't help but despair.

After all, although she knew that wild grapes didn't taste good, she had no grapes in her arms, and the price of grapes transported from other places was high. She wanted to change some money, but no one wanted to.

"Don't you buy it? No... it doesn't matter. I... I'll feed it to the pigs."

Xia Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, smiled at the corners of her mouth and said, "how much is your grape a kilo?"

"What?"

"I ask you how much is a catty!"

"Ah? Oh, if you want to buy it, just give me some money. You don't have to pay for it. You can take as much as you like."

Xia Xiaochan smiled, "aunt, how many grapes do you have?"

The old woman said humanely, "there are many in the mountains. There are barren mountains near my home. This thing is everywhere. My home is a little far from the original Liao. I pushed grapes for two days before I got to the original Liao."

Xia Xiaochan looked at the grapes on the shelf of her cart and admired the old woman's perseverance. After all, not everyone can get so many grapes, and she pushed them into the city by hand and walked on her feet for two days.

After pondering for a while, Xia Xiaochan said, "I want all your grapes. I want as many grapes as you pick. I'll give you five Wen a kilo. How about it?"

"Ah? Is this... Too much?"

"At this price, push it."

Next, the old woman was like a dream. When she took the half Liang silver in her hand and came out of the back door of the palace with some rewarded cakes and a piece of cotton cloth in a trance, she couldn't believe it. Ah, she really met a noble man. She sold the sour grapes for half Liang silver, and the family could endure for some time again.

Moreover, she even met the princess, the princess who made the North rich, the benevolent person who took in orphans and distributed rice grain free to poor families in winter.

Like the old woman's family, if it weren't for the princess's relief, I'm afraid that a few people in the family would have died in winter.

At this time, the old woman's heart was very excited. It was great. When she got home, she must tell her family that she not only made money, but also met the great benefactor princess.

The most important thing is that the princess said that how many grapes she received was five Wen a kilo.

The old woman was kind-hearted. When she left the palace, her heart moved and she went to find the steward mammy again.

"Mammy, the princess won't look at the poor old woman, so she bought the grapes? If the grapes are useless, the old woman didn't take the princess's silver for nothing? So, i... I..."

After listening to the old woman's words, the steward mother hurriedly said, "sister, the princess really needs these grapes to buy them. Don't think too much. You, if you really want to thank the princess, go back and continue to pick grapes and send them to the palace. Just come to the back door of the palace next time."

"OK, the princess is really a good person. I will work hard."

When the old woman left, she just felt lucky. The princess was very kind and gave herself this opportunity.

Therefore, I must do well and not fail the princess.

In the palace, Xia Xiaochan looked at these small grapes, his eyes smiled and looked in a good mood.

The little dumpling said, "mother, is this grape so good?"

Xia Xiaochan smiled at the little girl and said, "of course it's a good thing. Otherwise, why is my mother so happy?"

Little Tuanzi was skeptical and said, "this kind of grape is small and ugly, and no one bought it. Is it really a good thing? Won't my mother lie to me?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

Xia Xiaochan thought of the wine she had bought at a high price from Persian merchants some time ago. She couldn't help feeling a little proud. When she brewed the wine herself, she wouldn't have to spend a high price any more.

On the other side, the little dumpling's eyes were turning. As a result, when people didn't pay attention, he picked the largest one and sent it to his mouth.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, it's so sour and disgusting. Mom, you lied to me."

Xia Xiaochan felt happy when she saw the little girl's tangled face. She stretched out her hands, held her steamed stuffed bun face with meat, and gave a spoiled kiss.

"Silly boy, this wild grape is not for eating, but for making wine. Remember the last wine? It's made from grapes. This wild grape makes wine better."

"Mom, you're great. You can do anything."

Xia Xiaochan couldn't help but rub her face again.

When the mother and son didn't know, not far away, a person looked straight at them, especially when looking at xiaotuanzi's innocent and happy smile, his eyes became a little deep.

Boil chipin came slowly, patted Xiaoyuanzi on the shoulder and said with a sneer, "fat man, you don't know where you came from. Why? Envy, jealousy and hatred? You deserve it?"

Xiaoyuanzi looked at Aochi pin, silently lowered his head and said slowly, "brother, you misunderstood. I'm happy for my sister."

Aochi pin seemed to see through Xiaoyuanzi and said, "in the whole family, my parents only spoiled her. Since childhood, I was the one who was sent away and abandoned, and you, when necessary, were the one who was abandoned. Brother, I understand the taste. With her, we will always be the children picked up by my parents."

With that, he took a meaningful look at Xiaoyuanzi and turned away#####
