Chapter 312 Full of Hope
Everyone worked together, and by noon, they had made a lot of popsicles.
Of course, because she had to make mung bean powder at noon, Shen Yueyao also washed and soaked the mung beans and rice in advance.
Su Daya and the others also helped grind the soaked mung beans, rice and leeks into mung bean rice paste.
Su Daya looked at the mung beans curiously and asked confusedly, "Aunt San, what should we do next?"
Su Erya was also curious, and Fan Cuicui, watching from the side, felt a little excited.
She was a little envious of Daya and Erya for having such a good aunt.
The main reason is that she feels that she can eat delicious food every day and look forward to the next day.
This way I will be happy every day.
Since coming here, Fan Cuicui has had a very happy time these past two days.
Although she went to the embroidery workshop these two days, she felt that the atmosphere there was very good.
If she doesn't understand or doesn't know something, everyone will teach her carefully.
At lunch time, everyone will eat together and talk about daily life.
Although they were all talking about trivial matters, everyone had a bright smile on their face.
Because of this job, everyone is full of hope for life.
She knew that all this was caused by the Third Lady.
Shen Yueyao is very patient with her family. As long as Su Daya and Su Erya want to learn or understand something, Shen Yueyao will tell them.
"The rest is easy. Brush oil in the pan and spread the mung bean paste into a thin pancake. Cut it into strips and mix it with vegetables and seasoning before eating."
"This can be used as a staple food, and can also be used to make dishes. Just mix the mung bean powder with clean water, put it in a pot, add water and boil it, stir it evenly over low heat, and then take it out and cool it down, then you can cut it into dishes. It's quite simple."
"We've made our popsicles. Let's go to the farm and sell them first, then come back and have lunch."
There were many of them, so they made a lot of popsicles.
A little mung bean water is also added, so each popsicle looks the color of mung beans, which makes people look very appetizing.
"But everyone should try one first to taste it."
Everyone has one, including Dabao, Erbao and Xiaodao.
"It's a little cold, you three little ones, eat slowly."
Dabao and Erbao nodded vigorously.
When Shen Yueyao handed it to Xiaodao, Fan Xiaodao took it carefully and said thank you politely.
"It's delicious, Aunt San. It tastes like mung beans, and it's better than making it directly with water."
In fact, even the popsicles made by Shen Yueyao with sugar water are extremely delicious.
Because she added spiritual spring water into it.
This one not only contains spiritual spring water but also mung bean water, so the taste is naturally different.
“Delicious, not bad, better than before.”
"The one I made with goat's milk was delicious before, but this one tastes better than the one made with water because it has a more mung bean flavor."
After eating the popsicles, Fan Jiang and the others were even more shocked.
When I eat this, my body feels cool instantly.
I was sweating from the heat just now, but after eating the popsicle I don’t feel that way anymore.
Next, Shen Yueyao took Su Daya and Su Erya to sell popsicles in their village.
Fan Jiangze and Geng drove a horse-drawn carriage to a nearby village to sell popsicles.
As for Madam Meng and Nanny Qiu, they were old, and Shen Yueyao was worried that they would get heatstroke, so she didn't let them go out.
Seeing that Shen Yueyao was about to take Dabao and Erbao over, Madam Meng asked, "Why are you taking Dabao and Erbao to the field? Don't let the two little ones get roasted. It's too hot."
Shen Yueyao said: "Mother, I want to take them to see more and let them gain more experience."
"By the way, I also know how hard everyone works to harvest wheat, and how hard it is to earn food."
“Some knowledge is not in books, and you can only understand it by reading it yourself.”
“This will also help them develop good habits.”
"We may return to the capital next year."
Mrs. Meng also thought it made sense when she heard it.
Yes, my grandson will definitely have to study and take exams in the future.
As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Reading more will broaden your horizons.
Moreover, many people who passed the examination for the title of scholar went out to study in order to broaden their horizons.
Only in this way can the articles you write be meaningful.
Moreover, if I become an official in the future, I will be able to understand the hardships of the people and be a good official who loves the people.
Mrs. Meng thought about this and nodded, "Okay, you take Dabao and Erbao with you."
"By the way, I made some straw hats for you all to wear."
After Mrs. Meng came to the village, she learned a lot from the villagers in the past two or three years.
For example, weaving straw hats.
It’s hot in the summer and there’s nothing to protect yourself from the elements, so people wear straw hats when they go out.
There are people selling straw hats in town, but try to save as much as possible.
Most villagers can weave their own straw hats.
Shen Yueyao, Su Daya and Su Erya pushed the cart to the field.
Dabao and Erbao followed behind.
Fan Xiaodao watched eagerly.
Nanny Qiu thought that the Third Madam was going to sell popsicles, and if Fan Xiaodao followed her, it would cause trouble for the Third Madam.
While walking towards the field, Shen Yueyao asked Dabao and Erbao to run and give a popsicle to each of the hired workers.
"Uncle, this is what Mom asked us to bring. One popsicle each, here for you."
"Mom said to eat it quickly, or it will melt."
Dabao and Erbao picked up several popsicles in a bag and handed them to those people, then left with Dabao and Erbao.
The few temporary workers who were hired were all flattered.
They had heard of popsicles but had never eaten one.
"Our boss is such a kind man."
"That's right. We've all heard about the Dong family in town before."
"We have to work hard. If we do a good job, the boss might want to hire us again in the future."
"Yes, we must work hard. Even the boss pays us a lot, and we get paid every day."
"If I go to other places, they will settle the bill after the work is done, and sometimes they will deliberately find reasons to deduct some money."
"Don't worry, our boss is not that kind of person. Let's eat quickly and get back to work."
"yes!"
"Ah, is this what popsicles taste like? It's so delicious, uncle. I've never eaten anything so delicious." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man said excitedly to his uncle.
They are uncle and nephew.
“It’s really delicious.”
"It would be nice if it could be stored. I can just eat a few bites and take them home for my family."
Yes, they were a little reluctant to eat such delicious food.
But if you don’t eat this thing, it will melt, so you have to eat it quickly.
I have to say, my whole body was sweating, but after eating the popsicle, I stopped sweating.
There is a refreshing feeling all over the body.
“This is really good stuff.”
"The boss is really amazing. He can even make ice in summer."
…
On the other side, Shen Yueyao put down the cart and started selling popsicles.
When everyone heard about popsicles, they hesitated and didn't know whether to buy them or not.
"It's too hot, Mom and Dad, why don't we buy some popsicles?"
Everyone is used to being frugal and usually doesn't buy unnecessary things.
"Dad and Mom are different now. Our family can make money now. The three of us work for Madam Su. We earn at least three taels of silver a month. Let's buy three popsicles. Don't let them get heatstroke."
"Okay, go home and get some copper coins to buy it."
Most people didn't bring any money with them when they came to the site to work. Fortunately, the site was not far away, so they could run back and get the money quickly.
When someone came over with copper coins to buy popsicles, Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Popsicles are cheap these days during the wheat harvest. Two cents for one, three cents for two."
Su Erya explained, "My Third Aunt thought everyone was having a hard time harvesting wheat, so she wanted to lower the price so everyone could have some popsicles. These are tastier than the previous ones, and they have mung beans in them to prevent heatstroke."
After Su Erya explained this, everyone understood.
Everyone looked at Shen Yueyao with gratitude.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
"Boss, you are so kind."
Most of the people worked in the workshop, so they all called Shen Yueyao "boss".
Two popsicles for three cents is equivalent to one and a half cents per popsicle. At this price, everyone is willing to buy one or two.
Anyone planning to buy one can pool their money with others, and it’s equivalent to one and a half cents for a popsicle.
Still with green beans.
Everyone was worried that there wouldn't be enough time to harvest the wheat. Although it was five days of work and two days of rest, those two days were not enough, and harvesting the wheat couldn't be delayed either.
I didn’t expect that the boss would give them a holiday all of a sudden.
If you tell others about it, everyone will be envious.
As for the mung bean popsicles, everyone found them particularly refreshing.
"I just felt hot and dry, but after eating this mung bean popsicle, I feel refreshed all over."
"Don't mention it. I feel energetic again now."
"Yes, I was very tired just now, but now I feel all my fatigue is gone. This popsicle is really good."
"The boss is really amazing. He can make things like this."
"Yes, it quenches my thirst."
"Hurry up and harvest more wheat while you still have energy."
After eating popsicles and chatting for a while, everyone got back to work.
Many people were reluctant to buy popsicles at first, but when they thought that popsicles were only cheap for a few days and the price would return to its original price after the wheat harvest, they stopped hesitating and bought as many as they could.
So Shen Yueyao's popsicles sold very quickly.
I brought two large boxes of popsicles, and they sold out quickly.
Su Daya sighed, "Even if it's one penny cheaper, it's a lot cheaper for everyone."
Shen Yueyao has grasped everyone's consumer psychology.
People think that since the price has dropped in the past few days, it would be a good deal to buy popsicles.
Spiritual spring water is added to them, so when you eat popsicles, you can increase your strength and refresh yourself.
After the popsicles were sold out, Shen Yueyao took Daya, Erya, Dabao and Erbao home.
As soon as she got home, Shen Yueyao saw Su Xiuye in the yard.
When Su Daya saw Su Xiuye, she was shocked.
Su Daya said in a daze: "Dad!"
When Su Xiuye saw Su Daya, his expression changed. He stepped forward and said distressedly, "Daya, Dad is back."
Not long after Shen Yueyao and the others went to sell popsicles, Su Xiuye came back.
Old Madam Meng also told Su Xiuye about Su Daya.
It seemed that Su Xiuye's eyes also turned red.
He felt that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, causing his daughter to be bullied and wronged.
"Don't worry, daddy is here for you. He won't let anyone bully you."
Su Daya's tears suddenly fell.
"Dad, I was ignorant before, but now I understand a lot. You don't have to worry about me. I've learned a lot from Aunt San..."
Her father went out to fight bandits, and she was very worried about him during this period.
Although she was ignorant and resentful of her father in the past, after going through some things, Su Daya figured out many things and understood her father's hard work and difficulties.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her father returned safely.
