Just as Gu Xiuwen was about to chase out, Shen Ningsi called him back.
"Xiu Wen, he didn't say anything to me. I was just thinking about something. Is An An okay?"
Seeing that Gu Xiuwen cared about her so much, Shen Ningsi felt very relieved.
"An An is fine. Yun'er will put clothes on her. I'll give Kang Kang a bath later. I'm glad Gu Hong didn't bully you. If he dares to say anything in front of mother, I will definitely not let him go!"
Gu Xiuwen said this seriously.
"Xiu Wen, he's not a bad guy! Oh, and today I found a lot of wild grapes on a mountain in Yongle Village!"
When Ana Shen mentioned wild grapes, an excited expression appeared on her face.
"Wild grapes? Mom, wild grapes from the mountains are so sour and astringent, no one wants to eat them!"
Gu Xiuwen looked at Shen Ningsi, wondering why his mother suddenly cared so much about the wild grapes on the mountain.
Nowadays, farmers rarely grow grapes in their own fields because they can hardly even fill their stomachs!
The empty spaces at home are used to plant vegetables and other things.
"Although wild grapes are sour and astringent, they can all be made into wine!"
"Wine? Aren't those tributes from the Western Regions? Their wine-making techniques are never passed on to outsiders!"
After hearing what she said, Gu Xiuwen became even more confused.
"Yes, mother, the soil in Yongle Village is even worse than ours. Not only does it contain a lot of gravel, but the soil is also very rough! It's not suitable for growing any crops at all!"
Gu Xiuwu also knew something about the situation.
“The best environment for grapes to grow requires a lot of gravel and these rough soils!”
Shen Ningsi had been thinking about this problem when he came back.
She planned to tell them after giving An An and Kang Kang a bath.
“Shen Ningsi, you should grow grapes. What’s so good about those sour things!”
Gu Hong walked in with a bowl and listened to some of what they had just said.
"General Gu, do you think I would do something unrealistic?"
At this moment, Shen Ningsi also became more energetic.
She was so happy when she found those wild grapes in the afternoon!
"Of course... no!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Shen Ningsi had indeed never done anything to disappoint him.
"I decided to buy wild grapes from the mountains with the villagers of Yongle Village."
Shen Ningsi felt that it was time to put the gold given to her by the emperor to use!
"Buy? Those wild grapes on the mountain are ownerless. How many do you want? I can just send my soldiers to bring them back!"
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows.
"We can't do this! We must buy those wild grapes from the mountains from the villagers of Yongle Village!"
Ana Shen said with a determined look on her face.
"I don't know what's going on in your head all day. You insist on spending money on something that I can do with just a word!"
"General Gu, my mother has her own plans for everything she does. If you don't want to listen, just get out!"
Gu Xiuwen looked at Gu Hong. He didn’t know why the other party still hadn’t learned his lesson!
"I'm not going out! I want to hear what Shen Ningsi can say!"
Gu Hong placed the sugar water in his hand next to Shen Ningsi's bed and then sat there.
"Mom, drink this sugar water first!"
Gu Xiuwu walked over, picked up the sugar water, and placed it in front of Shen Ningsi.
Gu Hong curled his lips. It was clearly him who brought this bowl of sugar water, but now it has become someone else's wedding dress!
Shen Ningsi nodded, took the sugar water from Gu Xiuwu's hand, and drank it in small sips.
After a while, she had finished the bowl of sugar water, and Shen Ningsi felt that she had come back to life.
She put the bowl aside and sat up straight.
"Now we buy these grapes from the villagers so that they can believe that they can make money by growing grapes, because I want these grapes not only for this year, but also for the rest of the year!"
The expression on Shen Ningsi’s face was extremely serious.
"What good would it do you to have the wild grapes on the mountain?"
“Make wine!”
Shen Ningsi glanced at Gu Hong. It seemed that he didn't listen much to what he just said.
"Making wine? In the capital, a pound of wine costs more than ten taels of silver, and this is shipped from the Western Regions! There's only so much every year, it can be said that there's no market for it!"
Gu Hong had spent some time in the capital, so it was not surprising that he knew about wine.
Then he looked at Ana Shen, not believing that she could make wine.
"General Gu, what if I say I can make this wine?"
After Ana Shen said this, a strong sense of confidence appeared on his face.
"If you can make this wine, I will promise you three things."
Gu Hong said nonchalantly that the method of making wine was a secret of the Western Regions. It would be strange if Shen Ningsi knew about it!
Therefore, when Gu Hong said this, he was very casual.
"Okay, let's make a bet in front of the children today. If I do it, then you have to agree to my three conditions. If I can't do it, then I will agree to your three conditions. General Gu, what do you think?"
"Okay! Shen Ningsi, this general hopes you will do what you say!"
Gu Hong was worried that Shen Ningsi would regret it, so he quickly agreed.
"Xiu Wen, Xiu Wu, you must testify for me. Don't take sides with her just because she's your mother!"
“It’s natural!”
Gu Xiuwen nodded immediately.
When Gu Hong saw him like this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
But before he could continue to be happy, he heard Gu Xiuwen say, "I believe that mother never does anything without confidence. General Gu, please don't play tricks!"
"Yes, General Gu, my brother and I are here, you can't go back on your word!"
"Damn it, this general is here to keep his word. Now that I've said it, I won't go back on my word. You two little bastards can rest assured!"
Gu Hong said hatefully!
He just didn't believe that he could lose this time.
"Okay, since General Gu and I have made a bet, then making wine is a matter between the two of us."
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, a sly smile appeared in his eyes.
She still knows her own body.
After buying these wild grapes, she has to make wine, which she can't do alone!
So, I will definitely ask Gu Hong for help when the time comes!
"Why does this General feel like he's slowly falling into the trap you've set?"
