Zhen Wanwan went to the back mountain, where Wang Fu was tending to the fruit trees.
Seeing her approach, he stopped what he was doing.
"Madam Zhen, this old servant was just about to come looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What's wrong?"
Zhen Wanwan looked at Wang Fu curiously, and Wang Fu grinned and said, "Ever since I came here, I've noticed that the fruit grown on this land grows faster and is bigger than in other places!"
"Look! The grapes were only planted half a month ago, and they've already grown. When I came to see them today, I noticed that they're dark red with purple hues, and they look ripe."
Wang Fu spoke to Zhen Wanwan as he walked towards the grape trellis.
Thirty meters away, Zhen Wanwan could already see bunches of grapes.
Each grape was large and round, giving it a festive look.
Looking at the grapes, Wang Fu exclaimed, "This is the first time I've tended to these grapes. I didn't expect them to grow so fast. They taste sweet and sour, and they're delicious!"
The most important thing is that it grows very fast. At this rate, several crops can be planted in a year!
In the south, most crops can be planted twice a year, which is already the limit.
Therefore, if grapes are planted three or four times a year, it would be a great thing for farmers.
Zhen Wanwan remained silent. The grapes grew quickly because she irrigated them with well water from her space.
In the past, when technology was advanced, grapes could be harvested three to five times a year. Now, with the help of well water, the yield should be multiplied!
After all, the grapes she planted in her space would bear fruit every three or four days.
"Uncle Wang, let's find a few people to pick these grapes! After they're done, we'll plow the land again and plant more grapes!"
Wang Fu readily nodded, indicating that he would have them all picked today.
Now that the grapes are ripe, Zhenwanwan will have to put winemaking on the agenda.
Men generally prefer strong liquor, while women tend to prefer sweeter drinks.
Zhen Wanwan plans to lower the alcohol content of the wine to make it more palatable for women.
She plans to give some of the first batch of wine she has made to VIP customers on the third floor of the department store.
They'll help me promote myself for free.
Of course, she also did not forget to send some to Madam Feng, Madam Chen, Madam Lin, and the Zhang family in the prefectural city.
These are all her target customers, so she has to take good care of them.
After thinking it over, Zhen Wanwan prepared to draft a list.
She asked Granny Zhang to fetch the list of gifts she received when she married Zhuyuan.
The room was filled with prominent families from all over Anqing Prefecture. Although they hadn't received invitations, they had sent gifts out of respect for Zhuyuan.
Zhen Wanwan thought that now that they were going to do something big, they had to start getting in touch with the people in Anqing Prefecture.
Zhen Wanwan flipped through the list page by page, carefully noting down the names of the prominent families.
By the time I sorted all this out, I had already written two or three pages on the paper.
It's not that there are too many people, it's just that she's been practicing calligraphy lately, and the characters she writes with a brush are too thick and too big.
Her few words couldn't even fit on a piece of paper.
Wang Fu was very efficient; by the time she finished writing the list, the grapes had already been transported down the mountain.
Aunt Ma, along with Wang Fu's wife and children, prepared to wash the grapes and pick out the bad and wilted ones.
Zhen Wanwan directed them from the side.
After all the grapes were washed clean, Zhen Wanwan had them poured into a vat.
He then ordered Wang Fu and others to pour in rock sugar and mash the grapes until they were crushed into a paste.
For the next few days, just stir it two or three times a day and then wait for it to ferment.
As night fell, Zhen Wanwan put the child to sleep before returning to her room.
She went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, and when she returned to the inner room, she found that Zhu Yuan had returned at some point.
Zhen Wanwan was surprised for a moment, then said happily, "Didn't my husband say he had something to do today and would be back late?"
Zhu Yuan turned around and skillfully used a dry handkerchief to wipe Zhen Wanwan's hair.
Zhen Wanwan let him do whatever he wanted, and she leaned lazily against the couch.
Zhu Yuan gently dried her hair and said softly, "Does Madam remember the Hua family we met on the day we returned?"
After thinking about it carefully, Zhen Wanwan nodded.
She looked into Zhu Yuan's eyes and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly ask about him, my husband?"
When he encountered the Hua family that day, Zhu Yuan didn't seem to react at all.
Why are you asking about this today? Did they do something wrong?
Zhu Yuan continued working with his hands and explained softly, "I want to invite him to treat the lady's illness, and also see if I can recruit him."
In military campaigns, besides manpower and food, medical skills are also very important.
The Hua family has disciples all over the world, and they have plenty of herbs for treating external injuries.
With their help, they could save themselves so much trouble.
Zhen Wanwan pursed her lips. That was indeed the case. Although she had planned it for a long time and had started preparing herbs and the like from all over the place long ago.
However, individual capabilities and funds are limited.
If they get to that point, people will be the most important factor.
Doctors who can treat illnesses are also the strongest support.
“My husband is right. If I were you, I would also want to win him over at all costs.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan tightly closed his lips. He took Zhen Wanwan's hand, and the two looked at each other.
"No, my original intention was only to have him cure the lady's illness. As for recruiting him, it's optional."
Hearing Zhu Yuan's sincere words, Zhen Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She smiled and pinched Zhu Yuan's taut cheeks playfully, saying, "I know what my husband means, but recruiting him is also very important!"
“My heart is always with yours. When he comes, I will make sure he stays by my husband’s side and is at your beck and call!”
Zhu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly.
He felt that in his lonely and helpless world, there was a warm light that always shone on him.
Zhu Yuan felt that this light had become the air that sustained his life.
If one day this light goes out, then his life will come to an end.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan's eyes stung, and he hugged Zhen Wanwan tightly in his arms with deep emotion.
"My lady! I am so happy to have you in my life!"
Zhen Wanwan looked at him like a child and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
It's not easy! This man, who used to be so cold and taciturn, can now act cute and affectionate with her.
Zhen Wanwan gently patted Zhu Yuan's back, as if coaxing a child.
"My dear husband! I will always be with you from now on, and with my sweet little Zhou'er! We will always be a family, and we will never be apart!"
After she finished speaking, Zhen Wanwan felt Zhu Yuan hug her even tighter.
But he was very good at controlling his strength, so no matter how much he couldn't control himself, he wouldn't hurt Zhen Wanwan.
Zhen Wanwan knew he lacked a sense of security, so she patiently comforted him and also gave him her heart.
She thought to herself that she seemed to have fallen into it too, and willingly so!
