Chu Ning squinted at him, "Is it possible that you are still looking forward to chaos in the world?"
Fang Shengyu choked and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing taboo about it, but if people heard it, they would think you have evil intentions."
After hearing what he said, Chu Ning looked him up and down, "Fang Shengyu, I find that you really don't act like a little kid sometimes..."
"You are the brat! Your whole family is brats!"
Fang Shengyu hates Chu Ning calling him a brat. Every time he hears it, he will jump in anger, "You little brat, who are you calling a brat?!"
"you!"
"...You, you!"
Fang Shengyu pointed at Chu Ning, "Where do you have the nerve to call others brats? You're not as tall as me, and you have the nerve to pretend to be an adult. You're just a kid..."
This time it was Chu Ning's turn to jump, "Who did you call the little one?!"
"You! You! You! It's you! Chu Ning!"
Fang Shengyu made a face at her, then ran away.
Chu Ning rolled up his sleeves while chasing, "Good boy, if you have the guts, don't run away!"
"No fool would run away."
Fang Shengyu's words reached his ears with the wind, causing Chu Ning to laugh. It was rare for this little fat man to be so childish.
Liu Zi, Zhu Zhu and others smiled and watched the two of them having fun and didn't care. Sister Chu Jing was used to it and didn't care at all. Anyway, the kites were almost sold out, so they had nothing to do, so they just played.
"Second sister, let's go to the river to fly a kite."
Chu Ning was used to calling Kite, and he still said Kite at home. Chu Jing and the others were affected and became more accustomed to calling Kite.
Seeing that Chu Jing was in trouble, Qu Shuchun said, "My second uncle and I are here to watch. You can just go and play. Just don't go too far, and don't get into arguments with others."
Both Chu Tian and Chu Ran's eyes lit up.
"Cousin, can you help us fly the kite?"
Qu Shuchun glanced at the crowd and said, "Okay, whichever one you want, my cousin will help you put it."
So the two little girls started discussing happily. Qu Shuchun waited patiently without rushing.
"Dad, dad..."
"四."
Chu Jing looked at Chu Shouli who was worried, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm okay."
Chu Shouli forced a smile and said, "You guys go and play, don't go too far, call daddy if you need anything."
"...Hey, I got it."
Qu Shuchun handed the flown kite to the three sisters Chu Jing and stayed with them for a while. Seeing that they were pulling the kite string easily, he quickly returned to the stall.
"Second uncle, you don't have to worry. With Master Fang's protection, no one will dare to trouble us anymore."
Chu Shouli sighed.
This is what he is worried about now.
The daughter said that she and Fang Shengyu had no personal relationship, but they were always fighting like this, which could easily be misunderstood. If word got out, how would they find her husband's family in the future?
"Alas~"
When Chu Shouli sighed, Fang Shengyu also kept sighing, "There is little rain this year, and the crops are all watered manually. It is better in places close to rivers or with wells. Drought has already occurred in places without water sources. If
If it doesn’t rain, the wheat yield will be reduced and it will be unstoppable.”
Chu Ning frowned, "Your village should have a well, right?"
The Fang family made their fortune from land, and their ancestors have been running farms for generations. Even though there are more and more properties now, the farm is still the most important industry for their family.
A big landowner like this who has accumulated wealth for generations has never encountered any kind of weather. How could he panic just because there has been no rain for two months?
"Zhuangzi has a well..."
Fang Shengyu explained, "I'm not worried about things on the farm, I'm worried that if this continues, there will be no reason to stop my grandfather from returning to his hometown. You don't know that his old man has been farming all his life. What he cares most about is the growth of crops. Now there is no need for drought."
Yu, he can't worry about the crops in the field, and he has wanted to go back a long time ago. If I hadn't used some tricks, he would have left long ago."
Chu Ning said, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle."
Fang Shengyu sighed, "If it doesn't work, let him go back and stay for a few days. At the worst, I will send more people to follow him. If there is any change, we can get him to the city as soon as possible."
"That's all it can do."
Thinking of the dry weather, Chu Ning added, "This weather is indeed not normal. If it continues like this, not only crops but also people's drinking water will have problems sooner or later... Well, do you have an ice kiln at home? You can use it now
The water source is not in short supply, so store more ice..."
Fang Shengyu had a question mark on his face, "Save ice? It's already March 3rd, where is the ice? Even if I have an ice kiln at home, I can't..., eh? Do you mean to put water in the ice kiln to freeze the ice?
?”
Without waiting for Chu Ning to reply, he added, "I can give it a try, but my father may not agree."
Hearing what he said, Chu Ning didn't force it, "Then we don't need your ice kiln. Let's build one ourselves."
Fang Shengyu was stunned, "Shall we build it ourselves? Do you want to store water directly?"
He said, "It's impossible to store water. Not to mention the small area. The water will deteriorate after being stored for a long time and will no longer be drinkable."
"I know."
Chu Ning said, "We don't store water, we store ice."
"Save ice?"
"Where did the ice come from?"
"We make it ourselves."
Fang Shengyu looked at her in disbelief, "You won't tell me that you can make ice, right?"
Chu Ning didn't reply to his words, "Selling ice in summer is a huge profit. Most people are afraid that they can't do this business. Even if we save ice, we can't take it out rashly, otherwise we will be noticed and we will be in trouble."
.”
"Then what do you do with the ice?"
"We don't sell ice, but we can sell ice drinks. It's a small matter and it shouldn't attract anyone's attention."
Fang Shengyu nodded in agreement. Although he loves money, he also knows that he can't do any business. There is endless money to be made. He can't get into the eyes of money and even ignore his own safety.
Although his family has some connections, they cannot be careless.
It is better not to cause trouble that can be avoided.
"Okay, then let's build our own ice kiln... Huh? No, you haven't said where the ice comes from..."
Fang Shengyu was almost sidetracked by her, but when he realized it, he stopped immediately and insisted on asking clearly. However, no matter how much he pestered him, Chu Ning did not answer directly, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head, screaming.
Just as he was about to continue asking more questions, the three Chu Jing sisters came over happily, so he had to give up.
Chu Ning thought carefully. When they set up the stall, they not only brought enough goods, but also prepared a lot of food and water. After everyone had almost played, they returned to the stall and had a simple lunch with Chu Shouli and Qu Shuchun.
, and then after spending a leisurely afternoon, we were ready to go home.
All the kites they brought were sold out, and the giant kites from the Paper Kite Workshop were also sold out. Today's trip was a huge harvest, and they made a lot of money.
Chu Shouli smiled happily.
I forgot to worry about Chu Ning.
This was the first time in more than thirty years that he had earned so much money. He was excited and excited at the same time. He couldn't think about anything else. Now he just wanted to go home quickly and count the money.
In fact, there is no need to count the money at all, because the kites they bring are numbered, and each kite is sold at the same price, one tael of silver. This account is easy to calculate, so you can know how much money you have without counting the money.
