Chapter 250: Not a single fart was produced
"Miss Lei is a good person, but I'm afraid that ordinary people can't control her father." Lianxin thought of the last time she met Lei's father at the door of the grocery store.
Those big eyes that were as bright as copper bells, that loud and powerful voice, that fierce look, if Lei Yan hadn't taken out the kitchen knife, I'm afraid that Lei's father would have wanted to attack the young lady.
"With Lei Yan's personality, she won't be able to find a cowardly husband." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. With Lei Yan's personality, she would probably not be interested in a weak man.
"That's right." Lianxin said thoughtfully.
"This year's weather is so favorable, and the oranges are growing so well. What a good harvest!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the heavy oranges and had just finished speaking when Tian Jinhong, who was picking oranges not far away, ran over and said, "Thanks to Miss Xiao for teaching us how to ferment compost. Otherwise, the oranges wouldn't be so big and red this year!"
"Miss Xiao, thank you for building a school in the village." Tian Jinhong bowed to Xiao Jiuyue. If Xiao Jiuyue had not built a school in the village, her son Shi Xiaolin would not have been able to go to school!
My younger brother-in-law Shi Youchang has already gone to school in the provincial capital. It would be a bit difficult to support another scholar!
Fortunately, the oranges were sold last year, and this year Shi Youmin went to collect snails and made a lot of money. The couple are confident that they can raise another scholar!
"Jinhong, we built the school for my brother." Xiao Jiuyue helped Tian Jinhong up and changed the subject, saying, "The canning workshop will be busy again in a few days. Do you have enough cans?"
"That's enough." Tian Jinhong nodded repeatedly and said, "The jars that Miss Xiao brought from the Tang family are very good, and each one is sealed tightly. Miss Xiao, are you going to make orange candy with the orange peels today?"
"Well, orange peel candy still tastes good. Of course, we should continue making it and not waste it!" Xiao Jiuyue and Tian Jinhong were chatting about the workshop. Looking at the mountain full of tangerines, Xiao Jiuyue tasted an orange that was sweet to the heart, and suddenly he had an idea.
After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Jiuyue went straight to find Old Madam Xiao.
"You want to give the oranges to the Third Prince?" Old Madam Xiao was a little surprised when she heard what Xiao Jiuyue said.
"Yes, His Majesty the Third Prince has helped us a lot, so it's reasonable for us to send some local specialties over." Xiao Jiuyue added, "When His Majesty the Third Prince left, he left his contact information. I can ask someone to deliver it directly to His Majesty the Third Prince. No one else will know it was sent by us."
"Whatever you want to do, just do it." Old Madam Xiao patted her hand and said encouragingly: "I have never eaten such sweet oranges in my entire life!"
"Grandma, do you think so too?" Xiao Jiuyue's eyes brightened a little. When she was eating the orange, she thought that it was not easy for this pure natural orange to be as sweet as it is now!
"Yuer, do you know about imperial merchants?" asked Old Lady Xiao.
"I know a thing or two." Xiao Jiuyue sat up straight subconsciously.
Madam Xiao spoke eloquently, and Xiao Jiuyue listened attentively. Finally, she concluded, "So, if you can become an imperial merchant, then there are benefits?"
"Being an imperial merchant can make money, and you can get through official channels, but you also have to be careful about certain things, like what you eat, which is the most difficult to make." Old Madam Xiao reminded her, "However, if you do it, there are ways to do it, and if you don't do it, there are ways not to do it!"
"In addition to imperial merchants, there are also tributes." Old Madam Xiao explained the difference between the two.
After hearing this, Xiao Jiuyue felt suddenly enlightened. She smiled with her eyes curved and said, "Grandma, they say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Now it seems that it is absolutely true!"
"Hmph, you little girl, do you dislike your grandmother's old age?" Old Madam Xiao looked at her angrily, but there was a smile in her eyes.
"Grandma isn't old at all." Xiao Jiuyue took her hand and said, "Grandma is very wise. If I can learn even a little bit from her, it will be enough to benefit me for the rest of my life."
"You girl, your mouth is as sweet as honey!" Old Madam Xiao was coaxed by Xiao Jiuyue and smiled happily. Her happy laughter could be heard from far away in the yard.
In the afternoon, it was time to leave school. The two brothers Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen came back happily. Xiao Jiuyue noticed the cinnabar moles between their eyebrows at a glance.
"Apply cinnabar to awaken wisdom. You must learn well from the teacher in the future!" Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly.
Xiao Jiayuan smiled shyly and said, "Sister, I will definitely study hard in the future!"
"Me too." Xiao Jiachen's eyes lit up.
"Come on, let's celebrate for you today and make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs!" Xiao Jiuyue said enthusiastically. Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen became the protagonists of the dinner.
The two of them were chattering away, mostly Xiao Jiachen talking about what he had learned in school today and what it was like to be classmates with the children in the village.
Both Old Madam Xiao and Mrs. Su looked at them with smiles, and Shang Lan was even more excited. She liked Hongdu, and in Hongdu, her Jiachen would finally be able to go to school!
No, she has to open Zhiyun Tower to the provincial capital and earn more money for the Xiao family, if not for anything else, just so that Jiachen can always be so happy!
It's not just the Xiao family. Dozens of families in the village who sent their children to school would gather around their children and ask what they learned in school!
The bustle at Fu'an College lasted for half a month.
Xiao Jiuyue carefully selected two carts of oranges, two carts of canned food, and the fine salt made by Hu Yi, and gave them all to Mr. Zhang!
Mr. Zhang took the goods and sent them to Shengjing without stopping, for fear that if he delivered them too late, the oranges would go bad on the way!
"Miss Xiao, the sugarcane is ripe!" Shi Lizheng brought Wang Lizheng from Wan'an Village with him, bringing ripe sugarcane. Wang Lizheng said excitedly, "Miss Xiao, it's a good thing we didn't plant mango branches. Ma Laoliu's mango branches didn't even produce a single fruit."
Upon hearing such vulgar words, Shi Lizheng immediately tugged at Wang Lizheng's sleeve. Wang Lizheng then reacted, cleared his throat, and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiao. I'm a rough man, and my words are not pleasant to hear, but our entire village is grateful to Miss Xiao!"
Li Zheng Wang bowed deeply to Xiao Jiuyue. Xiao Jiuyue quickly asked Jin Wen to help him up and said, "Li Zheng Wang, since the sugarcane is ripe, we will start harvesting it from tomorrow. You should transport the sugarcane to the workshop!"
"Okay, okay!" When Li Zheng Wang heard that Xiao Jiuyue wanted sugarcane, he immediately felt relieved. Then, he became worried again and asked, "Miss Xiao, this year's sugarcane harvest is good, more than 80,000 kilograms. Miss Xiao, what do you think..."
Li Zheng Wang was a little hesitant. This year, a lot of sugarcane was planted, and he estimated that there must be more than 80,000 kilograms of sugarcane in the field!
"No matter how many kilograms, I want them all!" Xiao Jiuyue's words gave Wang Lizheng a reassurance!
