Chapter 47, Grandma's Favor (Please Recommend)
On the way back, Grandma He asked An Cheng not to tell anyone what happened today.
An Cheng hummed and nodded.
Mei Xue didn't care. What if she told others about it? Would she be afraid?
With her fighting ability, she would not be afraid even if the whole village attacked her together.
Of course, that was when he was at the peak of his strength.
Even so, as for the people in the village, she was not bragging, even if ten of them came at her together, she would not be afraid.
After returning home, Mei Xue directly carried the two jars on her shoulders. When she was about to stand up, she was stopped by her grandmother.
"What's wrong?" Mei Xue asked in confusion.
Grandma He rolled her eyes at Xiaoxue and said, "You are so careless. Take these candies back. Walk quickly so that no one can see you. I will ask others to help carry these back."
After all, you are a girl, you can't be too capable. Even if you are capable, you can't tell others about it. If you want her to embroider or make clothes, just forget it.
But this kind of physical work is really not possible.
Mei Xue didn't understand, but she obeyed, "Oh." She took out the fifty kilograms of rock sugar from the jar and walked quickly up the mountain.
Not giving the gossiping women by the creek any chance to see.
After the fight between Mei Xue and Old Lady Chen, those people didn't dare to go up and pull her, so they just took a sneak peek.
But I couldn't see anything.
When Grandma He came over, they all gathered around her. Now in the village, Mei Xue is no less famous than Aunt He.
She is more ferocious than Aunt He in a fight.
Mei Xue didn't know what they were thinking, but of course even if she knew she wouldn't care, because that was what she wanted.
Grandma He asked a few of her nephews who were at home to help carry the jar back home.
After Mei Xue put her things away, she wanted to go downstairs to help, but when she got to the gate of the yard, she saw that her two large vats were being carried up.
Mei Xue immediately turned around and went back into the house, taking out a few washed plastic cups so that people could drink some water later.
Grandma He's appeal was really good, and soon the two large vats were carried into the house.
"Xiaoxue, quickly pour a glass of water for my uncle and the others." Grandma He shouted to Meixue in the room with a smile on her face.
Mei Xue had already made preparations and even boiled water and put some sugar in it to thank these uncles.
"Grandma, here I come."
As soon as they saw the person, the uncles all took a look at Mei Xue and found that the child was very handsome.
"Thank you." They were not polite either. It really took some effort to carry things up the mountain.
"You're welcome, uncles. There's more if not enough." Mei Xue said with a smile.
They thought it was just normal warm water, so they didn't care and nodded. But after drinking it, they were too embarrassed to ask for another glass.
Sugar is very precious.
After drinking the water, these people said goodbye to Grandma He and went down the mountain.
"Grandma, you're really good." She can carry the tank up by herself.
"Haha, what are you doing? Come on, let me drink some water too. You're working hard."
The jar and sugar were bought, but there were still two loads of plums at home that had not been cleaned up. Mei Xue did not stop and started picking out the plums in the house.
There is no need to wash the plums, as washed plums will have a watery taste. Anyway, she knows the method, and since it is her first time, she still tries it carefully.
After drinking the water, Grandma He went to the toilet. When she came out, she saw Xiaoxue putting plums into the jar.
"Grandma, you came at the right time. Please go to the village and buy some wine. If you delay any longer, the plums will go bad." Plums are the most fragile things.
After watching Mei Xue pick out a lot of rotten plums, Grandma He realized that time waits for no one.
"Okay, grandma, I'll go right away, but how much does it cost?" Grandma He asked.
"The more the better. I'm afraid there isn't much wine in the village." Mei Zi said with a skeptical look on her face.
"You're overthinking. There are many people in the village who love to drink. Besides, we can't just brew a little and sell a little. There must be some stock. Give me a number and I'll have them deliver it to us later."
After listening to her grandmother's words, Mei Xue felt relieved. "Then I'll need 100 kilograms. That's just enough to fill two jars." With the bonus of space water, Mei Xue was very confident in herself.
"So many?" Grandma He was shocked by Mei Xue's words, "Is it possible?"
"Grandma, you have to believe me, it will definitely work." Seeing her grandma's doubt, Mei Xue immediately looked at her with her black and white eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay, grandma knows. I'll buy it for you right away."
Mei Xue took out another fifty yuan and gave it to grandma, "If it's not enough, ask them to come home and get it."
After taking the money, Grandma He walked towards the village center with heavy steps.
While Mei Xue was putting the plums in, she added some space water. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the plums touched by the space water seemed to have entered a second spring and began to slowly unfold.
The particles become fuller.
She didn't fill the jar to the brim. She stopped after about one-third of it was filled and then added sugar.
This ratio depends on feeling. Mei Xue trusts her feeling very much and pours it in without mercy.
After she thought she had prepared the two jars, she had also removed two-thirds of the sugar.
It was past lunch time, but because she and her grandmother were busy looking for stores and buying things today, they hadn't eaten lunch yet.
After sealing the jar with film, Mei Xue went to cook. Before she realized it, she didn't feel how hungry she was. Now that she thought about it, she felt her stomach ached from hunger.
It’s not something complicated. We had eggs at home, so I made some egg soup and cooked some vegetables, and lunch was ready.
Mei Xue stood outside the yard and looked down the mountain. Standing high, she could see far. She saw her grandmother coming back, followed by two people.
Holding something in her hands, Mei Xue smiled.
"Slow down, don't spill it, this is all money." Grandma He looked at the big wine jar with a distressed look on her face.
This is the biggest wine jar owned by the old drunkard in the village. If it weren’t for Xiaoxue, she really wouldn’t want to buy it.
There are a full eighty kilograms here, which can be said to be the old drunkard’s stock for most of the past six months.
It costs thirty cents a pound. He says it's the best wine. Humph, you're taking advantage of an old woman who doesn't drink and talking nonsense.
Grandma He can be weak in front of Mei Xue, but she is very strong in front of outsiders.
He went from 30 cents a pound to 25 cents, which really shows his ability.
"Don't worry, Aunt He San, we have steady hands and won't spill it." The two men carrying the wine jar were the sons of the old drunkard.
They also learned the wine-making skills from their father, and would carry wine out to sell on weekdays.
Those who travel from street to village are very nimble on their feet.
"That's good. If it spills, I will deduct your money." Grandma He Xiao threatened openly.
This was the first time the two of them had come into contact with Aunt He San. They rarely met her on weekdays, so they didn't really know her very well.
However, after traveling around for a long time and meeting a lot of people, I can accept these kinds of difficulties.
