Chapter 130: What an ugly way of eating!
Fan Cuilan laughed out loud, hugged her and patted her gently: "Mother is very pleased to have well-behaved children like you."
"Mom, I'm really fine. I was embarrassed by what my sister said just now, so I came outside to sit for a while."
Yu Banyue spoke embarrassedly.
Fan Cuilan asked her curiously what she had said. Yu Banyue repeated what she had just said and her face became even hotter.
"As long as you live happily, that's all that matters. But I'm relieved to have your sister guarding you. Your sister won't let you suffer any loss."
"Well, my daughter understands that my younger sister is someone who can do great things. Ever since she took over as the leader of the village, our village has been thriving." Yu Banyue also said with pride.
Fan Cuilan smiled and nodded, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
"Okay, mom should go to bed early too." Yu Banyue stood up and said to her.
The mother and daughter returned to their rooms. Yu Banxia and the other two had already fallen asleep. Yu Banyue also took off her coat, blew out the candle, leaving only one candle lit for the night, and went to bed.
The next morning, Yu Banxia stopped several uncles and brothers from the village from going up the mountain.
After finding the lacquer tree and extracting the lacquer liquid, an uncle asked, "Xia girl, what are we doing with this?"
"I want to teach my uncles and brothers how to make ink sticks, paper and ink pads." Yu Banxia said as he walked forward.
The uncle who led the way asked curiously: "Most of these things are controlled by the gentry and wealthy families, or the imperial bookstore controls this technology. Can we make it?"
"Don't worry, I know how to make them, and I have already prepared sales channels. I hope these things will catch the emperor's eye and become the symbol of our Southern Jin State."
Yu Banxia said with great passion.
The men present instantly became excited: "Okay, follow Xia Xia, we will listen to the people in charge."
"Follow Xia Xia, we will listen to the people in charge!"
It took some time to collect the paint, and after marking it, they returned to the village.
Erniu unloaded the tung nuts they had bought, and Yu Banxia taught them how to squeeze tung oil, and then explained the operation part to the first group of participants.
As they listened, they asked some questions, and Yu Banxia answered them one by one. Everyone listened with great interest.
Uncle Yan Ping stayed by her side all the time to protect her safety. He sat beside her and listened quietly as she told her stories.
He kept a low profile until he finished talking and Yu Banxia was about to leave. Then an uncle asked curiously, "Xia girl, this is your future husband, right?"
"Yes, his last name is Yan, and his name is Changqing."
In order to prevent Lu Qingmei from discovering, Yu Banxia directly said his name.
This character was given to Uncle Yan Ping by his grandfather when they were at the border, and no one else knew about it except his family members.
In the next few days, Yu Banxia taught them how to make ink sticks. As it was summer and there were lotus roots, the buyers went out again to buy lotus leaf stems. Soon, other villagers who had collected a large number of lotus leaf stems delivered them to their doorsteps.
Yu Banxia asked them to help with the extraction of stems, and the more they did, the more they would be paid.
The busy farming season had just ended and everyone was free, so they were naturally willing to do the work if there was any.
Some people even brought the shredded stems directly to him, and Yu Banxia had them all accepted.
On June 25th, the Yu family went to Wang Guixiang's parents' home early in the morning. Today is Grandma Wang Guixiang's 70th birthday.
Uncle Yan Ping definitely wouldn't go with them since he had no status or position, so he stayed in the village to help look after the business. He had been watching over the past few days and had learned a lot. His face and body were all dirty from making ink sticks, so many uncles told him not to get started.
Uncle Yan Ping smiled and said it was okay, and the villagers now had a very good impression of him.
He looks like he is not the son of an ordinary family, yet he does not mind the dirt or the tiredness. Uncle Yan Ping is not only recognized by the Yu family, but also by all the villagers as the son-in-law of Anping Village.
Wang Guixiang’s mother’s village is called Dawangzhuang, which is just past Wangzhuang where we visited last time. There is a big river in front of Anping Village, and there is an arch bridge over Majia Village, but it is not easy to walk on.
There is a wider stone bridge heading towards the town, but it takes a long detour to get there.
Anping Village is located right in the middle. Although we have to take a detour, that road is safe, so we finally chose that one.
Near noon, two horse-drawn carriages and a mule-drawn cart stopped in front of Wang's house.
"Wow, when did Aunt Niu's family have such a powerful relative?" There was a banquet today, and many people from the Wang family were already waiting for the meal to start.
Seeing such a nice carriage, the mule carts stopped and everyone turned their eyes over there, and many people even gathered around.
I wonder who is in this carriage.
The first to come out were Liuli and Feiying. These farmers had never seen such beautiful women before, and their eyes were wide open.
The two women did not get out of the car, but turned around to help people.
"Old lady, please slow down." Liuli said softly.
Mrs. Wu smiled and agreed, and took her hand as they walked out of the carriage. Someone recognized her and said, "This seems to be the relative from Daniu's family, Mrs. Guixiang's grandmother, Mrs. Wu."
"It seems to be her. Oh, her family is rich? Rent two carriages and a mule cart?"
"But her granddaughter is quite pretty. I wonder if she has been promised to someone else." Someone started to think about Liuli and the others.
Following the horse-drawn carriage behind, the people in the mule cart also got out one after another.
Before getting off the carriage, Yu Banxia glanced at the people gathered in front of the carriage and said to Erniu, "Brother Erniu, please park the carriage under the tree over there. There is food prepared for you in the carriage. You can solve the lunch problem by yourselves when the time comes."
"Okay, don't worry, girl." Erniu responded with a smile, put away the pedal, and asked Goudan and others to drive the car to a tree not far away and park it.
The villagers looked at Yu Banxia, while Xingyu and Shuanghua followed behind her.
Now she is well dressed and has a good temperament, looking like a real rich lady. People around her dare not approach her.
Erniu and his friends parked the car and brought over the gifts that Yu Banxia had prepared.
"Where do you put these, girl?" Erniu asked.
Mrs. Wang had been helped out by her aunt's mother and was talking to her grandmother.
"Send it to the yard."
"good."
Mrs. Wu pointed at the things that Erniu and the others had brought in and said, "Aunt, we are here today to celebrate your 70th birthday. These are the birthday gifts we prepared for you."
Wang Erzhu looked at the gift over there and suddenly walked towards that direction. Before Erniu could stop him, he had already uncovered the red cloth on it.
When he saw the oil-paper bag with Master Yu's logo on it, he was also stunned.
"Oh, sister-in-law, your family is rich now, you can prepare so many snacks for me." Wang Erzhu was surprised.
"Not only that, there's also half a fan of pork and some cloth. I think it's good, but this color doesn't suit you, so why don't you make me some clothes?"
Liu walked over, twisting her fat waist and said with a smile.
Many elderly people in the village who were sitting in the yard talking couldn't help pointing and talking when they saw this.
