Chapter 278 Refreshing and Sweet (Update 1)
"Yes, don't worry, Miss Jiang, we won't say anything."
"Yes, Miss Jiang, you saved our lives. We are definitely not the kind of people who would be ungrateful. We just work hard and don't say anything."
Everyone made repeated assurances.
Jiang Zhiluo could see that everyone looked very serious and spoke very solemnly.
Jiang Zhiluo was naturally relieved about the people Wei Xingye called.
Not only did everyone help harvest crops from Jiang Zhiluo's fields, but they also helped.
Even the villagers were busy harvesting wheat and other crops.
When the wind blew, the golden waves of wheat rolled in the fields. Everyone was harvesting wheat with bright smiles on their faces.
When Jiang Zhiluo returned home, Cui Qingci was grinding mung bean powder.
There is a small stone mill at home, which is convenient for grinding things.
It’s just right for Cui Qingci to use.
"Sister-in-law, these mung beans are soaked, I will grind them."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed and she said, "I'm making mung bean jelly for lunch. Since everyone has worked hard to come and help, I'll provide lunch as well!"
The weather is hot, so I'll make some jelly for everyone.
It’s just right for making cold-mixed preserved eggs.
Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci both came to help.
However, Jiang Zhiluo was also worried that those people would not be full with just jelly, so she and Old Madam Cui were busy making pies.
Jiang Zhiluo also put the ground and filtered mung bean powder into the pot, stirring it clockwise as she poured it in.
Stir until transparent.
Then scoop it out and put it in a large bowl to let it sit.
After cooling, refrigerate it with cold water from the well.
After refrigerating, pour it out completely and cut into pieces.
Then wash and shred the carrots and cucumbers, mince the garlic, and prepare the seasonings...
Set aside once the jelly is prepared.
Mrs. Cui had also prepared the pies by now.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the sun in the sky and saw that it was noon.
Jiang Zhiluo went to the field and called everyone back for dinner.
Wei Xingye waved his hand and said, "Actually, no need. We all brought dry food."
When Wei Xingye brought everyone here, he asked them to bring some dry food in advance, as he was afraid of causing trouble for his master.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's all ready. We've made quite a lot. Let's go eat!"
"It would be a waste if we don't eat it. They listened to you and took everyone to the yard to eat."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at everyone working hard in the fields and nodded in her heart.
It can be seen that everyone is working really hard, and the wheat has been harvested, but potatoes, peanuts and other crops have not yet been harvested.
And the weather was hot, so everyone was sweating a lot.
It’s a pity that there is no watermelon. If there was, eating it would really help to relieve the heat.
Seeing his master's expression, Wei Xingye nodded.
“Thank you, Master!”
"Why are you being so polite to me? I should be the one saying thank you to you."
Just like that, Wei Xingye told everyone to go to Master Cui's house.
Everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Wei, this isn't right. We're here to help with the work, how can we eat here?"
"That's right, this will cause trouble for Miss Jiang."
"That's right. With so many of us, cooking is very hard work. Besides, food is scarce and expensive in the countryside. If they give us food, they will have much less food."
They all have big appetites.
So when Wei Shao said he would take everyone to Cui's house for dinner, everyone disagreed.
Ding Pi was Wei Xingye's follower, so he naturally knew that Wei Xingye had a good relationship with the young lady of the Jiang family.
But now his impression of the young lady from the Jiang family has also changed.
It was really the young lady from the Jiang family who saved so many brothers in the escort agency.
"Master, why don't we eat dry food? It's not easy for Miss Jiang. She works hard every day to set up a stall and do business just to make a little money to live. She also needs to save food at home."
Although the weather was hot, they were sweating while working.
But for those of them who have been running darts for years, this is nothing.
There's nothing wrong with doing some work, but traveling on a escort mission is hard work, not to mention sleeping in the open, not to mention the danger.
Now they just do some work, nothing much really.
Wei Xingye looked at the brothers from the escort agency, seeing their sincere expressions, smiled, patted a few of them on the shoulders and said, "This is what Miss Jiang said. You don't understand her personality. Since she said so, if you don't go, the food you cooked will be wasted."
"If you're a man, stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly used shoulder poles to carry piles of wheat and baskets of potatoes and other crops back to the Cui family.
Many people in the village brought dry food and water with them. They drank some water in the hot weather and continued to harvest wheat in the fields.
When it was time to harvest the crops, no one cared about going home for dinner. Everyone wanted to harvest the wheat quickly during the day.
Everyone was even more afraid that someone would come and steal their food.
The villagers' clothes were soaked from the heat and they had no time to rest.
When eating or drinking, we would sit under the shade of a big tree to rest for a while, and then continue working after a short rest.
People who lived close to home did not go home either.
They just wanted to work hard to harvest wheat.
Once I get home and relax at noon, I may not have much energy in the afternoon.
"The weather has been good this year, and the wheat is growing well."
"Yes, the particles are very large and can be used to grind a lot of wheat flour."
Everyone is in a good mood when harvesting crops. Even if it is a bit tiring and hard, looking at the harvested wheat and imagining that they will have food to eat for the whole year, they are naturally happy.
After hurriedly eating some dry food and drinking some water, everyone took their sickles and continued to go to the fields to harvest wheat.
Occasionally, the wind blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
When Wei Xingye led everyone into the Cui family's yard, Jiang Zhiluo had already prepared herbal tea on the stone table.
One stone table was definitely not enough, so Jiang Zhiluo brought a round table from home and placed it on the bamboo mat so that everyone could sit on the bamboo mat to drink tea and eat.
Although everyone brought their own water, for some reason, everyone felt that the water from Miss Jiang's house was just delicious.
This tea is refreshing and sweet, with a long and comfortable aftertaste.
Everyone was very thirsty, but after drinking a few sips of tea, they no longer felt thirsty.
It’s so delicious that everyone can’t help but drink more.
Jiang Zhiluo walked over with a tray and reminded them, "Everyone, don't drink the water until you're full. Let's eat first."
"Ms. Jiang, this tea is really delicious."
"Yes, it quenches my thirst."
They don't have tea on weekdays.
Tea is really expensive.
Everyone felt comfortable and relaxed while drinking this tea.
Especially under the flower vine rack, smelling the fragrance and feeling the cool breeze, it feels so comfortable and relaxing.
It's as if they are not here to work but to play.
Of course, they also knew that there were so many people in the escort agency, and Wei Shao brought them here because he trusted them.
Jiang Zhiluo brought down bowl after bowl of jelly.
"Wow, what...what is this!"
"It looks transparent. We've never seen anything like it before."
"Miss Jiang, what is this?"
"Is this cold?"
Everyone looked at the mung bean jelly, their minds full of questions.
They didn't know whether it was a cold dish or cold rice, but they had never eaten it.
But it makes people hungry just by looking at it.
Wei Xingye's eyes lit up even more. What new delicious food has his master come up with?
