Gu Xiuwu looked at Gu Hong's back as he rode on horseback, and his eyes became jealous.
Which boy doesn't love horses?
"Xiuwu, once things at home are settled, mother will buy you horses!"
Ana Shen slowly walked up to the two of them with a smile on her face.
"Mom, can the two of us also learn to ride horses?" Gu Xiuwu looked at Shen Ningsi excitedly.
"Of course. We didn't have the ability to do that before, but it's different now. Mother will find a horse for you when she's done with her work."
Gu Xiuwen and the others are relatively young, so buying a pony can help them develop feelings.
"Mom, Yun'er also wants to learn how to ride a horse!"
Gu Yuner heard that both of her brothers were able to learn horse riding, so she hurried over, pulled Shen Ningsi's skirt, and showed an expectant expression on her face.
"Okay, our Yun'er will learn horse riding too!"
Shen Ningsi was in a very good mood at the moment. He squatted down, picked up Gu Yuner, and kissed her on the cheek.
Gu Yun'er immediately covered her little face shyly, but still secretly showed her fingers and looked at the expression on Shen Ningsi's face.
"Mom, shame on you! Yun'er is almost six years old, and you're still kissing me!"
Although Gu Yuner said this, the expression on her face betrayed her happy mood at the moment.
Looking at the impish Gu Yuner, Shen Ningsi kissed her cheeks a few more times before letting her go with satisfaction.
"Yun'er, go back to your room and help your mother take care of An'an and Kang'kang, okay?"
"Okay, Yun'er will go back to take care of An'an and Kang'kang!" After saying this, Gu Yun'er left happily.
"Mom, the wine jar over there has been cleaned!"
Gu Xiuwen had been paying attention to the movements here and walked over quickly at this time.
"Well, put it in the sun and let it dry out. Then pour some white wine on it and clean it!"
After Shen Ningsi gave the order, the soldiers divided the work and moved the washed wine jars to the sun to dry.
"Xiu Wen, Xiu Wu. When brewing wine, you must ensure proper hygiene. Otherwise, the wine will spoil and the drinker will get diarrhea or even get sick."
Shen Ningsi was not idle either, talking to Gu Xiuwen and others about the things that must be paid attention to when making wine.
The two brothers listened and asked other questions from time to time, and Shen Ningsi answered them one by one.
After a while, the moisture in the wine jars placed outside to dry had dried up.
Shen Ningsi took the white wine over and taught the soldiers how to disinfect the washed wine jars.
After she finished the demonstration, she asked the soldiers to learn how to do it. Only after several of them had done it to the standard did Shen Ningsi let them do the job of disinfecting the wine jars.
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu were not idle either. The two brothers were full of energy and poured the white wine into the jars together with the soldiers.
"Ermao, please don't drink the General's wife's liquor!"
Zhao Xianxing looked at a man who was disinfecting wine jars and spoke with a teasing look on his face.
"Zhao Xianxing, stop bullshitting me! I'd never steal anyone's wine, but the General's wife's! If the General knew about this, I'd be in big trouble!"
Ermao obviously has a good relationship with Zhao Xianxing.
"Hahaha……"
When the other soldiers heard Ermao say this, they all burst into laughter.
Shen Ningsi stood aside and watched them talking to each other, feeling particularly relaxed.
The large vats in the yard were filled with water in a short while.
The soldiers were not idle and continued to fetch water from the river.
After a while, the creaking sound of a carriage was heard outside.
"Excuse me, is this the county lady's home? I heard she's accepting these sour grapes!"
A timid woman's voice came from outside the house.
When Shen Ningsi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up! The first batch of villagers from Yongle Village who were delivering grapes came over!
Then she walked out quickly.
Outside the house, a woman was pushing a small cart piled high with fresh grapes.
"Are you here to sell grapes? My people buy them in Yongle Village for eight cents a pound, but if you bring them to me, they'll be ten cents a pound!"
The expression on Shen Ningsi's face was very easygoing.
"God is truly merciful. My son is saved. I thought the general was lying and came here to try my luck. I never thought there really is a way out!"
After the woman finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Ana Shen with a thud.
"County Lady, you are truly our family's savior!"
"Hurry up and get up! Are you in a hurry to sell these grapes to save your child's life?"
"County Lady, I'll sell you some grapes for eight coins, no, six coins... I'll sell them to you as long as you pay! After all, these grapes grow on the mountain. If I can sell them for some money, I'll be satisfied..."
As the woman spoke, she saw that there was no other expression on Shen Ningsi's face, and she suddenly became uneasy.
"Sister, if I say ten cents, it's ten cents!"
Shen Ningsi's face was calm.
She makes these wines not only to make money for herself, but also to improve the lives of the villagers in Yongle Village.
"Thank you, County Lady! Thank you, County Lady!" When the woman heard her say this, she immediately knelt down!
Shen Ningsi hurried over and helped her up. He then noticed that the woman's shoes were worn out and were oozing with bright red blood.
"Xiu Wen, bring the scale over!"
Shen Ningsi turned around and looked at Gu Xiuwen who was busy on the side.
"Mom, this is a scale!"
Knowing that some villagers would come to sell grapes, Ana Shen prepared the scale early in the morning.
"Mr. Zhao, please find someone to help me weigh these grapes!"
Ana Shen called out.
"Here I come, ma'am!"
Zhao Xianxing walked over immediately, with Ermao, who had just been talking, behind him.
The two men carefully took the grapes off the woman's cart.
When we came here today, the general repeatedly told us not to damage the grapes.
Shen Ningsi stood aside and picked out the rotten grapes and put the good ones into the basket under the scale.
Zhao Xianxing and Ermao both watched her movements very carefully.
There weren't many rotten grapes in the woman's cart, so it seemed she was very careful when she came.
After a while, they picked out all the rotten grapes on the cart, and the good grapes were weighed by Zhao Xianxing and Ermao.
"Madam, a total of 238 pounds!"
"Well, then let's say it's two hundred and forty kilograms, which is two thousand four hundred coins."
Shen Ningsi nodded.
The expression on the lady's face immediately became very happy. She didn't expect that these grapes could be sold for so much silver!
Two thousand four hundred coins, that's more than two taels of silver! It's enough for their whole family to live on for a whole year!
The woman plopped down and knelt in front of Shen Ningsi, "Madam, you are really the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"
