Chapter 20 Preparations Before Departure



Jiang Si only learned two days later that Shen Qingqing had been arrested twice in less than a day, and that Shen Xiuwen had been taken away by the Red Committee.

Early that morning, members of the Red Committee, under the guise of an investigation, knocked on the Jiang family's door with menacing expressions.

However, after searching the house thoroughly, they still couldn't find what they were looking for, and in the end, they could only leave cursing.

Seeing this, Uncle San's anxiety finally subsided.

Ah Zhong originally intended to bury the 'big yellow croakers' that he had brought back earlier in the cemetery in the suburbs.

Si Yatou said that in addition to the secret room, there was an even more hidden secret passage in the house.

Without thinking much about it, he told Si Ya to put it away.

Unexpectedly, the Red Cross members were so cunning; they came as soon as they smelled the scent!

"Third Uncle, you can rest assured now. I told you, they definitely won't find it!" Jiang Si said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the third uncle nodded.

It's more than just being relieved!

So, without even having lunch, they rushed out with Uncle Zhong.

Although his wealth couldn't compare to his elder brother's, he had still been in the Shanghai market for decades and had accumulated quite a bit of gold, silver, and valuables!

These things you can't take with you when you're born, and you can't take them with you when you die. He and Ah Zhong have no children.

If not to Si Yatou, who else could it be given to?

Jiang Si was unaware that her third uncle had made up his mind to entrust his entire fortune to her; she was currently busy in her spatial dimension.

In a few days she will be heading south to Guangzhou, and she doesn't know when she will be back.

While her third uncle and Uncle Zhong went back to pack their luggage, she planned to induce the birth of something.

The one-click watering function is too time-consuming, so Jiang Si thought about it and decided to do it herself!

Because she kept watering, watering, and watering.

In about ten minutes, the tree was covered with bright yellow pears.

After selecting "One-Click Harvesting," Jiang Si followed the same method to cultivate rice, wheat, corn, and so on...

The seeds she bought were from this era, so the seeds that grew from them looked no different from those sold in the market.

Jiang Si was relieved and collected about 100 jin of each item, packing them into sacks.

Pumpkin, sweet potato, and potato—these all keep well, so I got a basket of each.

We collected 100 chicken eggs and 100 duck eggs, and also got a few chicks and ducklings of each kind.

These have all been fed with the spiritual spring. Let's keep them for Uncle San to raise, since the yard at home is big anyway.

Thinking of the many rare medicinal herbs she had collected in the secret room last time, Jiang Si picked out a wild ginseng that was quite old and found a relatively large wine jar in the storeroom.

After washing it, they threw in the wild ginseng and poured in Moutai like it was free.

Fill the container to about 70% capacity, then add more spiritual spring water.

Even though Jiang Si never drinks, she knew from the smell that this wine was definitely top-notch.

Not to mention Uncle San, a connoisseur of wine.

As soon as we got home in the evening, my third uncle sniffed and said, "What's that smell? It smells so good. Ah Zhong, can you smell it?"

It smells a bit like Moutai, but much more fragrant.

Uncle Zhong naturally smelled the rich and intense aroma of the wine.

But he still shook his head.

The doctor said it's not recommended to drink it.

However, the old man kept unilaterally refusing and ignoring the doctor's advice.

At this moment, Jiang Si came out of the kitchen carrying several dishes. She had put away all the pots and pans in the house, which she had bought from a nearby state-run restaurant.

"Third Uncle, Uncle Zhong, please wash your hands and come eat."

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Uncle San asked another question, unwilling to give up.

"Si girl, what was that smell just now? It smelled strangely fragrant."

Jiang Si did not respond.

Third Uncle said again, "Look, such good food, wouldn't it be a waste if there were no wine?"

"...How about we have a smaller portion?"

"...Just a small bite, is that alright?"

"...Please, Si girl?"

Third Uncle practically had the words "acting cute" written all over his face just to get a sip of wine.

Uncle Zhong, standing to the side, was speechless, frowning and looking at him with the expression of an old man looking at his phone.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get it now."

Jiang Si stopped teasing the old man. If she continued, her third uncle would probably give her an eight-part tirade of coquetry.

She filled a cup for both her third uncle and Uncle Zhong.

"This wine was found in a secret passage in the house, and a century-old wild ginseng was soaked in it."

"No wonder, I knew this wine smelled so good!"

Third Uncle took a sip as he spoke, "Good wine!!!"

You know what, this Moutai liquor infused with ginseng that's been steeped for a hundred years is on a completely different level from ordinary Moutai.

Of course, while enjoying the wine, Uncle San also mentally crossed out Shen Xiuwen.

[That bastard, he has such good stuff, but he never mentions giving it to his father during holidays.]

"Ah Zhong, you should try this, it's really good!"

Even the best wine shouldn't be drunk in excess.

Jiang Si spoke up directly: "Uncle Zhong, take this wine to your room later. Remember, you can only give Third Uncle a small sip each day at most, no more!"

"Understood, Miss Sisi."

After finishing his sentence, Uncle Zhong quickly downed the wine in his cup in one gulp. His gulping down of the wine made Third Uncle furious.

"You, you, you... wine should be savored sip by sip!"

"How can you taste anything like that?"

Uncle Zhong really couldn't taste anything. "Then how about you share some with me, so I can really savor it this time..."
