Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 37

Some of the preserved fruits made at home were reserved for everyone as snacks, and she put away the rest.

She used to be a child who grew up in an orphanage. She had no sense of security since she was a child. In addition to studying hard, she also learned a lot of skills that can make a living, such as making preserved fruit and making wine.

After buying a lot of sugar from the county seat, she bought a batch of large wine vats and sent them home, and then she started to work.

Wash and dry the wild fruits in the yard, put them into a large wine jar, put a little sugar, and then put some wine in, then cover the lid, seal it up, and wait for fermentation.

Although it may seem simple to make, the amount of work involved is huge. It took the siblings several days to put all the fruits in the yard into the big wine tank.

When he was done working, he turned his head and saw that there were dozens of large wine jars inside and outside the house.

Lin Qinghe glanced at it, and couldn't help but click her tongue, good guy, she didn't earn this penny, but she spent a lot of money to go out.

"Sister, can the fruit wine we make really be sold?" Lin Qingsong asked worriedly.

Now I got dozens of tanks at once. If I can't sell them for money, I will lose a lot.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be sold."

That's what I said, but I'm somewhat uncertain. Fruit wine is probably a relatively new thing for people of this era.

The main reason is that it takes time to make fruit wine. If you only make a few jars, you won't be able to sell them for much at that time, and you can make little money. If you can sell dozens of jars, you will definitely make a fortune.

In short, no matter what you do, you have to take some risks, so that if you fail this time, you will not be able to eat.

After Lin Qingsong asked such a question, he didn't say anything more. He is now more and more convinced by the elder sister. Since she withdrew from the Zhao family's marriage for them, he secretly said to himself, what will the elder sister say in the future? , he will listen.

"It will take three months for this fruit wine to be unsealed. During this period of time, let's not be idle. There are still a lot of fruits in the back mountain. Let's pick them up and make some preserved fruits. Even if we can't sell them, we will keep them as snacks at home, or It’s okay to leave favors, anyway, it won’t be wasted.”

The process of making preserved fruit is a lot of trouble, but it is much faster than the time required for wine making. It just so happened that she put away the bag and took it to the county town for a trial sale to see if there is a market.

With an idea in my heart, I quickly arranged it. First, it took a day. The siblings picked a lot of fruits in the mountains and came back. Then they left the siblings to make preserved fruits at home, and she brought a large bag of preserved fruits into the county. went.

The brothers and sisters on their side are busy and busy, but Su's side is not so good.

After returning from the Lin family that night, Mrs. Su fell ill and lay in bed groggy for several days.

Butcher Wang didn't say anything. People who eat whole grains don't get sick. Moreover, Mrs. Su's body is very weak, and she may catch a cold accidentally.

But Wang Qiuhe was dissatisfied, and went to Wang Butcher and complained: "Father, do you think she pretended to be sick on purpose? You said last time that after finishing last month's housework, let her do it this month." , does she not want to work?"

It's not that she doesn't know Su Shi. When people in the village mentioned her in the past, they all praised her for her good life and married a good man. Not to mention, not a single complaint.

Even if Wang Qiuhe thinks about it sometimes, she has to admit that she also envies the Su family.

"How can this be? Look at your child, what are you talking about? She is really sick. I touched her forehead just now, and she has a fever!" What a resentment.

"Then who knows if she didn't want to work, so she deliberately made herself sick, who can say for sure!"

"There is no such thing, Su Shi is virtuous, these days you do it first, and I will let her come when she recovers from illness, oh my girl, just work hard for you for a few days." He is just such a girl , It has been painful since childhood.

Speaking of this, Wang Qiuhe had no choice but to respond: "Okay, then I will continue to do it for a few days. You can pay more attention to her illness, take medicine on time, and get better soon."

Butcher Wang kept nodding his head, then sighed again: "It's a bit weird, I take the medicine every day, so it didn't improve."

The three of them, their father and son, together with their daughter, have always been very strong. Not to mention being sick, they usually don't even sneeze. I took the medicine, but I haven't seen any signs of improvement yet.

"Heh, I just got sick a month or so after entering the house. I'm afraid it doesn't fit our family's horoscope?"

Some superstitious old people in the village would bring up these things from time to time, and Wang Qiuhe suddenly thought of this for some reason, and then said: "Their family died not long ago, I always feel a little bad luck, this is also It's your fault, you are so anxious to welcome people in, why should you wait a year!"

If she told her, she shouldn't have allowed Su Shi to come in. She was so thin and frail, and if she handed over the housework to her, she might not be able to do it well, so she was worried about it.

Mentioning this, Butcher Wang felt a little uncomfortable. He was really anxious. Mrs. Su looked like a flower, with thin skin and tender flesh. Even a 30-year-old woman looked more irritating than ordinary girls. As far as the human eye is concerned, every man is impatient, but he can't tell his daughter about this.

"Don't gossip about those who are worthless, a little girl's family, and gossip about those god-given things, it will be difficult to talk about her husband's family in the future." Wang Butcher said casually.

It's good that he didn't mention it, but Wang Qiuhe suddenly became a little annoyed when he mentioned the matter of her in-law's family.

"You also said that the Zhao family's marriage is very secure. How should I say it now? Then the Zhao family didn't respond at all. You didn't help think of a way, but you still talked about me."

She was also really aggrieved, Lin Qinghe was not better than her besides being good-looking, Qian Shi actually treated him so differently.

When this matter was mentioned, Butcher Wang immediately lost his face. He also felt that the Zhao family was a bit ignorant. The Qian family was a widow with a son, who said she had some family background, and supported a scholar, and the cost was not low. He reckoned that the life of the Zhao family would be able to survive without forced support. If it was possible to save much of the family property, it would definitely not be possible.

"Don't worry about this, and don't go to the village to talk nonsense. The girl's family's face is still important, and it can't be underestimated. Let's wait until Zhao Zhengping finishes his examination. If we don't come to propose marriage, or propose I’m going to someone else’s house, and I’m going to let them go around without food, is it easy to tease us when we are Wang’s family?”

When he said this, a ruthless look flashed across his face.
