As soon as Xionghong saw Su Jian, he came up to her and said, "Madam, the bathing water has been prepared for you."
"Um."
"Madam, there is something that the eldest son wants to tell this servant. Mr. Mo has gone to Xiashan Village, and depending on the situation, he should be delayed for two days before coming back."
Su Jian stopped. She came back early today specifically for Qi Mo, but Qi Mo left? Was it really to get treatment, or to avoid her?
"Why did he go to Xiashan Village?" Su Jian really didn't have a good impression of Xiashan Village. She went to them to buy bamboo just because she wanted to help the girls there.
"My servant doesn't know, but I heard a kid who delivered the bamboo said that someone in their village was sick, so Mr. Mo must have gone there."
Su Jian was noncommittal, but when she saw Xiong Hong, she still looked at her: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"It's like this Madam. A little girl insisted on sending a basket of black fruits to Madam, saying it was to thank Madam for letting her sell bamboo and to protect herself from being sold.
I have never seen the fruit before, so I was not ready to accept it, but the child grabbed a handful and showed it to me, but I couldn't bear to refuse." Xionghong knelt in front of Su Jian to apologize.
Su Jian helped Xionghong up: "What kind of fruit, show me."
Xionghong took the order, turned around and went to the kitchen to take Zhulan out.
Su Jian looked at the bamboo basket in Xiong Hong's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up. It was a mulberry! It was actually a mulberry! She couldn't wait to take a small but black mulberry and put it in her mouth.
Xionghong wanted to stop it, but was too late. Her wife was probably too relieved. Although the fruit was non-toxic, it had not been cleaned yet, so she did not dare to tell.
Su Jian tasted the mulberries. They were not sweet, and even a little sour. But for her who had not eaten fruit for a long time, it was good to have mulberries.
"Let the children from Xiashan Village sell bamboo, which gives them income, but only one child sent something to thank me, which shows that she is grateful." Su Jian ate several pills in a row and looked at Xionghong: "
You go find that child and ask her to help me pick mulberries."
"Mulberry?"
"It's just this kind of black fruit. As much as you want, for a bamboo basket, I'll give her thirty cents."
"Yes." It's thirty cents. It's not cheap anymore. I don't know how happy the child will be when he finds out.
Su Jian stopped Xiong Hong who turned around and was about to leave: "It's not safe in Xiashan Village. You ask Blind Xiong to go with you. When you go to find the child, if you find a mulberry tree, if you can buy saplings, buy them."
Some of them can be planted around Zhuangzi's fields. If you can't buy saplings, it doesn't matter. Pinch off some of the tenderest leaves on the trees and stir-fry them to taste delicious."
Su Jian spoke and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seasonal vegetables are the most tender and nutritious.
"Um...ma'am, can you let Xiong Da accompany your slave?"
"..." Su Jian paused and looked at Xiong Hong in confusion.
Their eyes met, and Xionghong knew that she was talking too much. Now is the busy time of farming, how could she call Xiong Da! The lady would definitely not allow it.
"Can."
Hearing this, Xiong Hong couldn't believe it, then he thanked Su Jian and left quickly.
"Hmm... so sour."
Zhan Lei stuck out his tongue and wrinkled his facial features tightly. How could his sister-in-law like to eat such sour fruit?
When Su Jian heard Zhan Lei's voice, she noticed that the child had come to her side at some point, and not far away, Su Qin was also standing there. But the way Su Qin looked at her...
Su Qin looked at Su Jian intently, his eyes filled with distress. His jewel-like sister married into the General's Mansion and was extremely busy all day long. She wore men's clothes every day without looking like a girl, and now she even looked like a girl.
She looks like a clay doll, and you can tell at a glance that she is doing things herself.
"Xiao Jian, if you have something to do, you can tell them to do it. You are the mistress after all."
Su Jian smiled and did not answer Su Qin's words. She only asked: "Brother, do you like drinking?"
Drinking? Of course he likes it, but most of the wines nowadays are too strong and he can't drink too much: "What?"
"Brother, please help me manage the workshop and take care of the children. I am going to give you a gift. You can taste it in about a month and drink it in the second half of the year. I will keep it and teach you not to put it down." Su Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Thinking of the taste of mulberry wine, she was also greedy.
"Drinking, want to taste?" Su Qin looked at Su Jian straightly: "Do you want to make wine?"
Su Jian did not deny it: "Brother, don't you believe me?"
Su Qin shook his head and nodded again: "Xiao Jian has too many skills. I find that I don't understand my sister a little bit."
Su Jian felt a shiver in her heart, and the smile on her face stiffened for a moment. It must be natural for her to live here, and she even forgot to hide it in front of the Su family. After all, she was not really Su Jian, but now that she has started to do it
, even if it is hidden, how long can it be hidden?
Thinking like this, Su Jian regained her composure: "I saw it in a book. Making this mulberry wine is very simple. It is nothing more than throwing the picked mulberries directly into a clean jar without washing them.
Pour a few kilograms of spirits and some rock sugar, seal it and leave it for more than a month, then you can drink it."
Su Qin's eyes flashed, is making wine so simple?
"When everything is ready, eldest brother might as well make it with me. Whether it tastes good and whether you can drink it is a secret between us brothers and sisters." Su Jian said.
Su Qin nodded. At this moment, Su Jian was talking to him, which made his heart melt. He could feel that the relationship between their brother and sister was getting closer.
"Sister-in-law, I also want to have a secret with you." Zhan Lei pouted. He had been looking at Su Jian for a long time, but Su Jian didn't even look at him. Unable to control it, he gently pulled Su Jian's hand.
finger.
Su Jian lowered her head and stretched out her hand to rub Zhan Lei's head: "Okay, next time you encounter something interesting, or get something that others don't know about, you come and tell my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will never tell anyone else. This way
There is a secret between us."
Zhan Lei nodded vigorously, he liked his sister-in-law the most.
The other side.
Zhang Dagang was about to enter Su Jian's yard to report on today's work. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the corner and grabbed his arm. When he saw the person coming, he had no time to react and was pulled to a distant place.
A corner.
Zhang Darao looked at Song Siqi thoughtfully. Song Siqi is now in charge of the school, and his clothes are much cleaner than when he was at Zhuangzi: "Didn't you say it before, don't get together if nothing happens?"
Song Siqi looked at Zhang Da with serious eyes: "Now is not the time for joking. Don't tell me that you didn't notice that there are many strangers outside the general's mansion."
Zhang Da calmed down the emotions on his face and looked at Song Siqi with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes: "Although the General's Mansion is still not in good condition, it has changed due to the leadership of the wife. Naturally, some people cannot sit down.
Live."
"The general is not here now, and my wife does not know the true situation. How should we... destroy all the crops?"
