Chapter 50: Sensible An Liang
Aunt Ting thought over and over again, and finally felt that her mother-in-law was not as important as Xiaoxue.
It's not that she is unfilial, but life is hard.
Besides, my mother-in-law is used to living with Zhengjing's family. At most, she can just send more food over there on weekdays.
After sending Xiaoxue away, Aunt Ting immediately packed up and went to the back mountain to call Anshan, asking him to come back and learn how to make plum wine from Xiaoxue.
This is a long-term business. If it really works, then...
They all yearn for a better life, and of course, they both believe more in this sister-in-law who brings them miracles and fills their stomachs.
When Mei Xue came back, she saw An Liang and An Wen standing at the gate of the courtyard. They looked very excited. "You are here."
"Sister-in-law." Both of them handed over the money in their hands a little stupidly.
Mei Xuefang.
"What are you doing?" Mei Xue asked with a smile. The main reason was that these two guys were so funny. It might be the first time for them to get so much money. Look how excited they were.
"Sister-in-law, we don't know what we need to prepare for brewing wine. This money is used to buy the things needed for brewing wine." An Liang came back to his senses faster than An Wen, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"No need to give it to me. I will tell you what you need and you can buy it yourself. Also, you all have big vats at home, right?" Mei Xue opened the gate and asked as she walked.
"I have a 30-kilogram one at home." An Wen answered first.
An Liang was not far behind, "My family also has a 50-jin can, which was bought when my sister got married. I have been storing rice in it since I used it."
"Since we have everything, that's good. Go buy some sugar and some wine. Anwen, you should buy 20 kilograms of wine. The vat is too small and I'm afraid it will overflow after fermentation. Anliang, you should buy 40 kilograms of wine. Anwen, I think you should buy another vat. 30 kilograms doesn't make much money."
Mei Xue preached seriously to An Wen and the others.
Now that she knew about Uncle Zhengxi's family situation, Mei Xue thought to herself that she would help if she could.
An Wen nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
I have fifteen dollars, and after buying some wine and candy, I can still have some left to buy a jar.
An Liang was delighted when he heard this, "Sister-in-law, can I buy another jar?"
Mei Xue was amused to see him like this, "You trust me so much, what if the wine goes bad?" Mei Xue said unhappily.
"No, I believe in my sister-in-law. She is a capable person, so how can she not make a good brew?" An Liang said without thinking.
"Come on, let's do it this way for this year. Plums are available every year. We don't know how much we can make this year, and it will be the same next year. Once you have experience, you can estimate it yourself." Don't have too much hope on yourself.
After An Liang heard this, he saw that his sister-in-law really disagreed, so he could only accept his fate and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The plums at home could not be used, so Mei Xue asked them to buy the things they needed today and pick some plums tomorrow.
The tank will be sealed by tomorrow afternoon.
Grandma He watched the three of them chatting and gained a new understanding of Xiaoxue's abilities.
After everyone left, Grandma He looked at Xiaoxue with a worried look on her face, "You asked An Wen to brew so much, what if it doesn't work out?"
Mei Xue also thought about this problem. Since it was her first time, she would take a loss. She put some space water in each person's tank as a sign for herself.
Another thing is that the boss of the wine shop in the town may not be able to collect so much, so he will have to go to the county to look for ways.
"Don't worry, grandma. I know what I'm doing. We still have some sugar at home, and it would be a waste to just keep it. I was thinking of brewing another jar. What do you think, grandma?" Mei Xue walked over to her grandma and sat down.
"Ah, you're still brewing?" Grandma He was shocked. "According to what you said, by then we'll probably have more than 100 kilograms of it at home. If we keep brewing, what will we do if the boss lowers the price?"
Grandma He was a smart person, and the first thing she thought of was the idea of having more goods and lower prices.
"It's okay. When I'm free someday, I'll take grandma to the county town for a walk. I haven't been there yet." Mei Xue said with a flattering look.
"Forget it, grandma is old, just make up your mind. If there is another one, it's okay to go to the county town. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Let's go see Anze and ask him if he will come back for the holiday."
It has been so long, Grandma He also misses her grandson.
In the past he would come back at least once a month, but this time it’s been so long and he still hasn’t come back. I don’t know if something has happened.
When Mei Xue heard the name, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Could she refuse?
"Okay, I'll listen to you, grandma." After seeing the longing expression on her grandma's face, Mei Xue decided to accompany her grandma to see him.
"You must be tired? Take a rest." Seeing Xiaoxue being so well-behaved, Grandma He's heart was as sweet as honey.
No one knew what An Liang and An Wen did, but after dark, they came to Mei Xue's house carrying some wine.
Fortunately, every household now has electric lights, otherwise everyone would go to bed early.
"Why are you here so late?" Hearing the sound, Mei Xue came out and opened the door to ask.
"Sister-in-law, we have bought the wine and the jar." An Wen said excitedly.
The village uncle's wine shop was out of wine, so they went to the neighboring village to buy some.
So it's a little late.
"Come in first." Mei Xue was speechless. If she had bought it, she should have put it in her own home. What was the point of putting it in her home?
Grandma He also came out wearing a piece of clothing, "Who is it, Xiaoxue?"
The old man couldn't recognize people at night, so he could only ask.
"Grandma, slow down. It's An Liang and An Wen. They came back with some wine." Mei Xue walked quickly towards her grandma, afraid that she would fall.
"You two brats, just go home after buying the wine. Why are you here so late at night? Don't you see how dark it is?"
It gets dark late in the summer, and it’s almost nine o’clock at this point.
It’s because Xiaoxue goes to bed late. If she went to bed early, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to get up.
Being scolded by my Third Grandma was like having a basin of cold water poured over my head. I felt chilled to the bone and my heart couldn't fly.
"Third Grandma, we were wrong."
"Forget it, forget it. Just pick it up and go home. You don't have to be afraid of your family worrying about you." Grandma He scolded angrily.
The two were very well behaved. After putting the wine under the eaves, they immediately turned around and ran away. They ran so fast.
I don’t know what happened in the afternoon, Anshan didn’t come, and Meixue didn’t think much about it. It was better that he didn’t come, which saved trouble.
"Okay, grandma, let me help you go to bed."
After being disturbed, Grandma He couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she took Mei Xue's hand and went to close the gate.
"Xiaoxue, Anshan didn't come this afternoon. I'm afraid something happened at your aunt Ting's house." Grandma He looked outside worriedly.
"It's okay, if you don't want to come, then don't come. It will save me trouble." If you don't believe it, just don't be jealous when the time comes.
"This is not about whether it saves trouble or not. If An Liang and An Wen really get into trouble, your aunt Ting's family will be in trouble." People's hearts are fickle.
