Lin Wanwan was very grateful to Shen Mo from the bottom of her heart. After the teaching of the past few days, Lin Bai had made obvious progress and seemed to be getting the hang of things. Before he left, he left a lot of homework for Lin Bai, asking him to do a few questions every day to help him understand.
Seeing that Xiaobai was performing well, I waited until the snow on the road melted and took him to his grandfather's house to play for a day, and also to see how the chickens and ducks were doing.
Chen Wenshan smiled and said, "Although we lost a batch of chickens and ducks during the drought, we raised them again in the second half of the year. Since the beginning of October, the hatching of the young ones has been very high. Your fourth uncle said that by next year, we will have nearly 150,000!"
"That's great! I hope next year will be a good year. I'm also planning to open Baiweiju in the capital. Uncle, please keep working hard. We want to make the chickens and ducks of Shili Village famous!"
"Hahaha, of course I will!"
Grandma held her hand and said, "Everyone is so grateful to you now! Since you started raising chickens and ducks, you can make money every day. Don't mention how hard you work!"
"That's good! How is Fourth Uncle doing lately?"
"He goes to the county private school every day to study and prepare for the examination for the scholar next year!"
"Well, Fourth Uncle will definitely pass the exam! He will become a high-ranking official for Grandma in the future!"
Zhang Cuiqin was particularly happy to be coaxed by her, "Hahaha, you are the only one who knows how to coax people! Come on, I'll make you stewed chicken for lunch! I picked up a lot of mushrooms in the mountains this fall, and I dried them all and kept them! Stewed chicken tastes especially good!"
"Hey, then I have to take more with me when I leave!"
"I'm saving it for you! There are several sacks drying in the sun, take them all!"
"Grandma, that's the best. I'll take more! By the way, grandma, if you can't finish the mountain products in the village, you can send them to Baiweiju. I'll charge you at the market price!"
"What are you talking about, kid! Wait, I'll ask your uncles to pick more and dry them, and then send them to the shop every few days! These are the only things you can use in the village. If you talk about money again, grandma will be really angry!"
"No, grandma!" Lin Wanwan shook her arm, "I won't mention money! Don't be angry!"
Zhang Cuiqin hummed with satisfaction and pulled her forward again.
Lunch was prepared by the four aunts together. They cooked a large table of delicious dishes. It was lively when there were so many people eating. Lin Wanwan couldn't help but have a big appetite and ate a lot. When they learned that she had just recovered from an illness, they served her a large bowl of chicken soup for her to drink to nourish her body.
Finally, she was so full that she took Xiaobai and several of her cousins to the mountains for a walk to digest the food.
It was not until the evening that she took Lin Bai back, bringing a cart of mountain products with her.
Near the end of the year, Fu Junyi came back and brought her this year's earnings.
The stew shop made 70,000 taels, and the sugar shop made 60,000 taels, which was half less than last year. Adding the profits from Baiweiju and Wanxiangge this year, the total profit was almost 250,000 taels.
That’s great, I’m one step closer to retirement.
Fu Junyi looked at her money-grubbing look, smiled, put down the account book in his hand, and said, "There is not much Yunwu tea left this year, so I only brought you a few cans and a cart of the latest fabrics this year. Oh, by the way, I also brought you something else, please come with me."
Lin Wanwan followed him into the yard. Not long after, several followers came to them one after another carrying several deer.
"These are six fawns. If you don't like raising them, you can slaughter them for meat at the end of the year."
Lin Wanwan widened her eyes, ran forward, and carefully reached out to touch a little deer. Seeing that it did not hide, she excitedly touched it again boldly.
"The fawns are so pretty, I won't eat them. Hehe, this is the first time I raise a fawn!"
Seeing that she liked it, Fu Junyi was secretly happy and told her how to feed the baby and what to pay attention to in daily life.
Lin Bai also ran over with Le An and the others, running around the deer excitedly.
Fu Jun also warned: "Xiaobai, the deer are timid, don't scare them."
"Okay Brother Fu! We won't chase them anymore!"
"You're so good! Brother Fu will bring you something good next time!"
Lin Bai happily ran to him, pulling his sleeve and asking, Fu Junyi touched his head and said with a smile: "You will know next time!"
Lin Wanwan turned around and said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, I like these deer very much!"
"As long as you like it, if you encounter any problems in the future, just write to me directly. I have to go back to the capital today, so I can't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Ah? You're coming back today? Well, you wait a while before you leave!"
Lin Wanwan asked someone to load five or six jars of wine, as well as daily necessities, vegetables and fruits from Wanxiang Pavilion, filling the entire carriage as a return gift.
I said to him, "You didn't get to taste the newly brewed wine last time you came back. You can drink more on the way and sleep all the way back home!"
"Hahaha! I can drink a lot, so I'll give it a try! Okay, Miss Lin, it's cold outside, you should go back to the house! We'll meet again next year!"
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
In fact, Fu Junyi had one piece of news that he hadn't told Lin Wanwan, which was that Chen Li was actually the grandson of the current Prime Minister Shen. If he told her, she would probably follow him to the capital.
But why would he give his rival this opportunity? When the two of them met, since Lin Wanwan didn't know the truth, why would he bother doing this?
How could Lin Wanwan know what he was thinking? She and Lin Bai were happily surrounding the deer, taking Da Mao and Er Mao to meet new friends.
Lin Bai stroked Damao's head and said, "Da Mao, you are usually the most obedient, but don't bully the fawns! You must protect them, got it?"
"Woof!"
I don't know whether it really understood or was pretending to understand. It was very interested in the lively deer and always wanted to get close to smell them, but the deer were trembling with fear.
