Chapter 99 Before the Dragon Boat Festival

 When Mrs. Jiang heard Wei Meimei's words, she bluntly said that their land was almost done.

For Wei Meili and others, the rest is too little, right?

But this is exactly what they want, Wei Meili only said lightly:

"Sure enough, my sister-in-law is still filial and worthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law!

My eldest brother not only bought these four acres of land for my family to show his filial piety, but you also work hard at home and are filial to your parents-in-law, which is amazing!"

After saying this, Wei Meili also cast an affirmative look at Jiang.

Jiang's face turned green when he saw this expression.

In this regard, only Jiang himself knows why he is so "diligent" and "filial".

"Sister-in-law, why don't you take care of these four acres of land? After all, it was my eldest brother who bought it with his money!"

Not to mention how much land her husband and the third family had cleared away, Wei Meili even took the opportunity to suggest that Jiang continue to show his filial piety.

But Jiang refused to accept these words, and she was heartbroken!

How could she be taken advantage of?

Her mood was really up and down today.

She had been slapped by her mother-in-law before, so her mind was quite clear now.

Why, her man has spent so much money to buy land for the family, is it not enough?

Do you still need her to show her filial piety by taking care of these four acres of land?

Don’t even think about it!

Seeing Jiang's pursed lips as if refusing to communicate, Wei Meili secretly smiled and said nothing more.

Today’s talk has come to an end. How can Old Man Mei and Mrs. Zhang look at Mei Qiang and the others with good expressions?

Wei Meili was not afraid of Old Man Mei and the others at all, and just continued: "Then the matter is settled. My daughter-in-law has some unfinished business at home, so she will go back first."

After saying that, Wei Meili took her daughter and greeted Miao and the others to leave.

Just as they were about to step out of the courtyard, Old Man Mei suddenly called out to them.

Old Man Mei stared at their backs and only asked: "You are here today just to work less, right? That's why you beat around the bush and sow discord!"

"Dad, what you said..." Wei Meili chuckled, turned around and looked at everyone in the old house, and said, "So, telling the truth is also sowing discord? What do you call someone who doesn't tell the truth?"

After saying that, Wei Meili didn't look at Old Mei's dark face.

She only lowered her eyes and curled up the corners of her mouth in mockery, turned around and said no more, straightened her back and said softly to Mei Bei: "Watch your steps, no matter how familiar the place is, you won't be able to stand up to acquaintances trying to trick you..."

This is called beating people around the bush.

"Honey, you are awesome!!!"

In the evening, when Mei Youqian came back, he listened to his wife telling him everything that happened this afternoon.

The excited Mei Youqian, who was taking a bath, had a red face. It was unclear whether he was affected by the heat or was excited.

When he heard his wife's last yin and yang annoyance to the people of Lao Mei's family, Mei Youqian yelled "Happy" and got out of the bucket.

Holding only a long towel to cover her lower body, revealing her strong body, Mei Youqian rushed behind Wei Meili, who was cooking, and picked up his wife by the waist.

Mayberry could hear her mother's exclamation followed by her father's laughter in the yard.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Hey, my wife, you are so stupid!"

Mayberry's hand paused as she fed the mule cubs, and the expression on her face was indescribable.

It seemed like I had eaten some sour and smelly dog ​​food.

Meiberry silently turned her head and stared at her bedroom and began to think: Wouldn't it be bad for a family of three to live in one bedroom?

"Alas~" Mei Liang sighed, stuffed grass into the mule's mouth and muttered, "I am single and getting...excited every day!"

After solving Lao Mei's troubles, Mei Berry found Mei You the next day with her improved soap formula.

I brought some pieces of rough grass cloth to their house along the way.

"My mother said that Gebu absorbs sweat and is breathable. It is a good thing as the weather gets hotter.

But my mother had no experience in making it for the first time, so the rough grass she made could only be used as towels or curtains, and it was too rough to make clothes."

When Mei Bei handed Ge Bu to her third aunt and Mei You, both of them were quite curious. It was indeed rough to touch, and some of them even held hands.

But it’s really good to take a bath in summer when it’s stained with water, as it can rub away the dust.

This is Mayberry’s new discovery last night.

"Then there is also fine grass cloth?"

Hearing Mei Mei's harsh words, Mei You immediately thought of Xing Gebu.

"Yes, but making fine kudzu cloth is more complicated. My mother said that if Third Aunt is fine these days, she can go to the mountains with her in the morning, and then she will take Third Aunt to pick kudzu and come back to make it together."

"Okay!" Miao agreed to this without Mei You having to say anything.

After helping her mother make an appointment with her third aunt, Mei Bei and Mei You got busy with their affairs.

The two of them went out together and entered the mountains. Only then did Meiyou show Meiyou the recipe for improving soap that he had written.

"Goat milk soap, flower essential oil soap..."

Mei You was surprised to see that the writing on the yellow paper was not neat, but it was indeed the writing of this era.

When she finally read the content, Meiyou looked at Meiberry with complicated eyes for a moment.

"Didn't you say... you don't know how to make soap?"

"I don't know how to do it, but I can theory~" Mei Bei smiled, not feeling guilty at all, "Didn't you see that I don't have a specific ratio? I still have to rely on you, sister, to lead me to practice and explore~"

Naturally, the system gives a proportion, but Meiberry didn't add it when he wrote it out.

Funny, she seems like a serious person with that kind of brain?

Doesn’t this make the heroine’s character collapse in front of her?

The heroine would be suspicious if she wrote it like this, not to mention that she wrote down all the proportions.

"Goat milk or something? Does anyone in the village raise goats? You can find an opportunity to get some."

Meiyou has already begun to think about the possibility of making the plumberry recipe, "Flower essential oil soap is mainly flower essential oil. This thing is difficult to make. Do you know how to extract flower essential oil?"

"Theoretically it's possible, but in practice I can't..."

Meiberry scratched her head and secretly cursed the system for not doing this properly. Why don't we just give her the method of extracting essential oils?

"I haven't tried it either. This one probably needs more work."

Mei You looked at the soap in this formula, looked at Mei Berry with a much gentler attitude, raised his hand and touched the top of Mei Berry's hair, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you make a lot of money!"

As the weather gradually warmed up in the following days, Meiyou and Meibei have been adjusting the proportion of soap.

In the blink of an eye, there are less than five days left before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Mei Berry and Mei You's production of upgraded soap has temporarily stopped due to the arrival of the holidays.

Because Mayberry's holiday snack business is about to begin.

"In addition to rice dumplings, we also want to make Tiaotou cake and mung bean cake?" Mei Berry was stunned.

"Yes, we didn't hide this rice dumpling business from the outside world. Your father also bought a lot of glutinous rice for this purpose to confuse everyone.

I think it would be better to make some snacks and sell them."

Wei Meili doesn't like eating glutinous rice every day.

When the new rice comes this year, their family will definitely spend a lot of money to buy a lot of rice to store.

"Mom, do you have enough people? You are a rice dumpling and cake maker."

"Ah, I found my three younger siblings, and Li Cuihua, the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Wang next door.

When the time comes, you can settle the wages, or you can cook it and share it with them as food, and keep it as holiday gifts."

Forget about rice dumplings, but Tiaotou cake and mung bean cake are not cheap to make.

Share them when the time comes, especially for a new daughter-in-law like Li Cuihua, who will definitely go back to her parents’ home with her husband before the holidays. It will definitely be a face-saving gift to bring these snacks!

In fact, there is also a story behind Li Cuihua's arrival.

Aunt Wang is really worried about her daughter-in-law. Although she is well-behaved and gentle, she is always afraid of seeing people.

But whose little daughter-in-law can’t live without seeing people every day, right?

No, after hearing that Wei Meili was short of manpower recently, she simply recommended her daughter-in-law.

It doesn't matter whether she makes money or not, just let her meet people.

"Are the bean pastes in mung bean cakes and touotou cakes all beans from my space?"

Meiberry thought about asking this question, but Wei Meili glanced at Meiberry and said, "Such good beans are directly sold for eating? Even the glutinous rice for snacks is bought, and these beans are also bought separately."

"Oh, right."

Wei Meili suddenly remembered something.

"After you deliver the rice dumplings before the Dragon Boat Festival, ask your dad to take you by boat to the county for a walk that day."

"ah?"

Seeing that Mei Berry hadn't reacted yet, Wei Meili said again: "The banknotes you took back won't be exchanged for silver? Then you and your dad will buy more things in the county.

There are too many acquaintances in the town, and it is easy to attract attention if you buy food and cloth. But when you and your father go to the county to buy things, you don't have so many worries.

We have so much money, what can we do without spending it?"

Mayberry: Finally gotta spend some money!
