Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Looking at Lai Xi's face which was slightly angry, Liu Siyu's heart was pounding. Subconsciously, she didn't want Lai Xi to misunderstand.

He hurriedly pushed Qin Feng away, and the purse fell to the ground with a snap.

Lai Xi rushed forward and pulled Liu Siyu behind him.

"Captain Qin, I don't know why you want to give Siyu money, but there is one thing I want you to remember: she is mine."

Qin Feng just smiled faintly, not caring about Lai Xi's words at all.

He picked up the purse from the ground and threw it directly into Lai Xi's arms.

"You don't have to think too much. If you like her, treat her well. This money is for the order of fermented bean curd and rice wine."

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Liu Siyu.

"We need rice wine urgently. It would be best if we could deliver 300 to 500 kilograms before the end of the month."

After saying this, he mounted his horse swiftly, whipped the horse whip and left in a dashing manner.

Lai Xi looked at the back thoughtfully.

Liu Siyu felt a little uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong. She awkwardly straightened her hair, walked up to Lai Xi and coughed lightly.

"Well, um, I..."

Lai Xi came back to his senses from his thoughts, his eyes returned to their former expression, and he smiled and patted Liu Siyu's shoulder.

"Let's go."

Liu Siyu was a little stunned. What was going on?

Lai Xi was obviously very angry just now, how come he became so calm the next moment?

Liu Siyu was slightly disappointed and suspected that Lai Xi's angry face just now was an illusion.

He grabbed the purse from Xi's hand in a fit of anger.

She pouted and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lai Xi's dark eyes flashed and a stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Why, you don't want me to come?"

Naturally, no one wants Lai Xi to see such an embarrassing scene.

But then I thought, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I be so afraid of Lai Xi seeing it?

His mood suddenly calmed down, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled: "Of course not, I just didn't expect you to suddenly appear here."

"Did my mother tell you?"

Lai Xi shook his head and said, "I just arrived too, and haven't had time to go to your house yet."

Liu Siyu looked around. The place was extremely deserted, without even a ghost in sight. He became more and more confused.

"Then how did you know I was here?"

In fact, no one told Lai Xi that as soon as he entered the village, he heard the villagers chattering and talking about Liu Siyu and a few noblemen wandering around the village.

Of course, there were some unpleasant remarks, but Lai Xi had no time to pay attention to them and hurried over here.

I felt angry and anxious.

The gossips of those angry people were mixed with a hint of jealousy.

He was anxious because the time they had spent together these days had made him believe that Liu Siyu was a self-disciplined person. Her family ran a small business, and those people were most likely related to the business.

He didn't want those rumors to hurt Liu Siyu again.

I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I arrived. The sourness and jealousy in my heart surged into my heart like a tide.

But when he thought of his relationship with Liu Siyu, he forced himself to endure it.

Seeing that Liu Siyu kept dwelling on this issue, he quickly changed the subject.

"I'm going to my eldest sister's house tomorrow to help with house repairs. Do you want to go back with me or stay at your parents' house for two days?"

Liu Siyu suddenly remembered what Tian Dani said that day, that her family was going to sell the house and live in the cowshed.

It would be difficult to clean up the cowshed. It would probably take at least a day or two to complete.

Besides, Han Dongyi and Qin Feng both need a lot of rice wine, and Wang alone would definitely not be able to handle it.

"Then I'd better stay at my parents' house for two days. It's meaningless for me to go back if you're not at home."

When Lai Xi heard this, he felt joyful unconsciously, and all the bitterness and unhappiness he had just felt were instantly forgotten.

"Really? Then you can stay at your parents' house for two more days, and I will pick you up when I come back."

Liu Siyu nodded, but Lai Xi suddenly pulled her hand, and Liu Siyu subconsciously tried to break free.

Lai Xi held it tighter.

"Don't move. We're about to enter the village. There are a lot of people watching us."

Lai Xi's words were like a flash of lightning, piercing Liu Siyu's heart.

Liu Siyu immediately understood what Lai Xi meant. He was afraid that the villagers would gossip about her, so he came over and took her hand and took them around the village to help her out.

My heart is filled with both joy and sadness.

She was happy because Lai Xi was attentive and considered everything for her, but she was sad because it was not easy to be a woman.

She was supposed to be doing things seriously, but because of her identity as a woman, she had to be on guard against other people's gossips at all times.

After seeing Lai Xi off, Liu Siyu and Wang Shi became busy.

I cleared out all the large and small jars and pots in the house and made pots of glutinous rice. I used all the jars and pots, and I used up just about 100 kilograms of glutinous rice.

Liu Siyu sighed helplessly.

"Looks like we'll have to buy some jars when we go out to make fermented bean curd tomorrow."

Wang was a little troubled when she saw the jars and vats scattered on the ground.

"There are so many jars and cans, it will be troublesome to move them out in the future."

Liu Siyu also thought of these things, but she already had other plans in mind.

"Don't worry about these. I'll figure out a way when the time comes. The remaining batch will be made at Li Lao's house. If there's no room in that room, put them in Sihan's room. The shelves will be ready in two days."

Wang sealed the last jar, stood up and straightened her back.

"That's the only way," he suddenly felt a little worried.

"Can we trust that Boss Li? What if he steals the recipe for making rice wine when we make it at his house?"

Liu Siyu smiled.

"Rice wine is not as simple as fermented bean curd. The glutinous rice has to be soft and hard in the right way, and you also need to master the yeast and some details. These are not something you can learn by just watching it for a while."

Only then did Wang feel relieved.

The next day, according to the agreement with Yun Duo, Wang and Liu Siyu rushed to Liulin Village early in the morning. When they entered the door, they found that Boss Li had lived up to his expectations and had made a lot of tofu.

The two of them didn't waste any more time, rolled up their sleeves and got ready to work.

Liu Siyu thought of Qin Feng's 100 taels of silver and Han Dongyi's 30 taels.

He immediately said to Li Laoda: "Soak some more beans today. We will make another batch the day after tomorrow."

Boss Li was naturally happy when he heard this.

"Hey, let's go soak now, is 20 kilograms enough?"

"Of course it's not enough. Just soak as much as you can tomorrow."

When Liu Siyu came here, of course she hoped to do more.

Boss Li was stunned after hearing this. "You...what did you say?"

Wang chuckled.

"Uncle, you heard me right. Just make more. We have received many orders for fermented bean curd recently."

"Well, I'll go make some. With Yun Duo's help, I can make at least 100 kilograms of beans in a day."

Boss Li thought about the 100 kilograms of soybeans he bought yesterday. He didn't expect to use them all today, and his joy became even stronger.

Liu Siyu turned around and saw the blood blisters on Boss Li's hands and frowned slightly.
