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

Twenty baskets and several bamboo baskets were brought in at once.

Liu Siyu was quite surprised.

"Brother Changming, how come you are so fast? You have compiled so much in less than a month."

Gu Changming felt relieved when he heard Liu Siyu praising him for his speed.

During the busy wheat harvest these days, he also spent a lot of time working in the fields, but he was afraid of delaying Liu Siyu's work.

During their lunch break, his father and Changliang helped to chop bamboo and cut bamboo strips. He also worked from dawn to dusk, completing at least one task every day.

"As long as it doesn't delay your work, you can deduct some of your wages when the wheat is harvested. I helped harvest the wheat for three days at home."

Liu Siyu knew that Gu Changming was an honest person, but she didn't expect him to be so honest.

It would have taken two or three days, and if he hadn't said anything, no one would have known. Besides, Liu Siyu was quite satisfied with the craftsmanship and speed.

Then he smiled and said, "There's no need to deduct your wages. You've done so much in less than a month. I guess you've worked hard from dawn to dusk. And you work pretty fast. I was thinking about giving you some rewards."

Gu Changming waved his hands hurriedly.

"It's common for farmers to get up early and go to bed late. Besides, the work of cutting bamboo and splitting bamboo strips is basically done by my father and Changliang. I am only responsible for weaving, which is much slower than a real bamboo craftsman."

Liu Siyu likes to deal with honest people.

Real bamboo craftsmen are indeed fast, but they may not be so attentive.

Thinking of Gu Changming talking about his father and Changliang's help, he deliberately made a teasing remark.

"Since Brother Changming said so, do I still have to pay Uncle and Changliang their wages?"

"That's not what I meant. I just said it casually. I..."

Gu Changming just heard Liu Siyu praising his craftsmanship, so he wanted to be humble and mentioned his father and Changliang's help.

I swear to God, he really didn't come here to ask for his wages.

He was afraid that Liu Siyu would misunderstand him as being greedy, and he was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain.

Liu Siyu looked at the panicked Gu Changming and burst out laughing.

"I know what you mean. I'm just kidding. During the Maimang period, we are racing against time with God. I can understand if it takes a few days."

"You don't have to rush like that in the future. Just make sure you make one basket every day. Use all the bamboo in your bamboo forest to weave baskets and baskets for me."

"All in baskets and baskets?"

Gu Changming was surprised. After cutting only 1/3, he could basically meet Liu Siyu's requirements.

If we cut them all down, how many baskets and baskets would we have to make?

Liu Siyu nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, weave all the baskets and baskets. You also need to buy bamboo in the village. I need a lot of it."

Fruits from all over the country are continuously sent here, including wild fruits from the mountains.

In previous years, the tits were the cheapest, but this year, almost all of them are with Liu Siyu.

Since there was no more fruit jelly, Liu Siyu decided to try to use fruit to make pectin, and then add wood ash water to make fruit-flavored jelly.

She has done this before, so it shouldn’t be difficult to experiment with a few more fruity flavors.

Except for making colorful dumplings, the rest are all put in the ice cellar.

When the season is over, ordinary people naturally have no fruit to eat.

The price of fruits stored in the ice cellars of wealthy families is probably doubled.

Then she can also take the opportunity to make some money.

There are so many things just placed in the ice cellar and taking up space.

So she asked Carpenter Tan to build shelves for her. Baskets filled with fruits were placed on the shelves, which not only did not take up much space but also looked neat and tidy.

Although Gu Changming didn't know what Liu Siyu wanted to do.

But Liu Siyu needs more baskets, so that he can do this job longer.

He immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll take as much as you want."

Liu Siyu thought about it and thought, how many baskets would it take to make another 300 baskets? You can collect them as you like.

Gu Changming was shocked again.

According to Liu Siyu, it would take nearly a year to weave 300 baskets, one a day.

I was happy but I still confirmed it again.

“Are you sure about 300?”

Liu Siyu: "Brother Changming, just go for it. There is still half a year left. Save some money. Qingxue is still waiting for you to marry her!"

When he heard Qingxue, Gu Changming's ears turned red.

……

The village is still busy. After the wheat is harvested, people are busy planting rice in the paddy fields and planting late corn in the dry land.

The early corn is already lush and green, and the wild grass is sprouting up like a race.

The sweet potato vines are all over the ground and need to be turned over and taken care of again and again.

To avoid too many roots affecting the harvest.

Farmers, except for a few days of leisure in winter, spend the rest of the time digging in the fields all year round.

Fortunately, Liu Siyu's family did not plant any crops on the few acres of land this year.

But the house is not idle either.

Xiaohuaer and Xiaoqing were hired long-term to help make wine-fermented meatballs, pick fruits, cook and take care of the vegetable garden during the day.

In the evening, Liu Siyu taught them how to read and do accounting. With the comparison, the two girls worked harder.

No one wants to fall behind.

But no matter how busy she was, Liu Siyu was still worried about the assassination.

First he ran to the blacksmith shop and made two daggers and put them in the ice cellar.

Lime was even placed in a large basin, ready for use at any time.

The fear of being hunted still lingers in my dreams every midnight.

……

Qin Feng still focused on Lai Xi.

Lai Xi also went to Cangzhou to prove his innocence.

The eight tigers who escaped that day returned to Cangzhou and never dared to go to that small courtyard again.

He could only disguise himself as a beggar and hang around the temple with unkempt hair and dirty face.

He didn't dare go to Qin's house to find Ziyuan, so he could only wait outside the temple as they had agreed before.

Zi Yuan was put under house arrest by Qin Feng for instigating Liu Ruyan, but she was always worried about the assassination of Liu Siyu.

She had no way to get out, so she had to lie to Aunt Fu and say that she had accidentally offended the young lady.

Ask her to pay attention to what's going on in the mansion every day and find out if there's anything new.

It might as well be an opportunity to ease the tension.

Aunt Fu was naturally familiar with such things.

After a few days, I didn't find out anything else, but I unexpectedly heard that Qin Feng was investigating the case of Liu Siyu being hunted down.

Aunt Fu's heart was pounding with fear.

Who will chase Liu Siyu?

The resentful look in Zi Yuan's eyes when she mentioned Liu Siyu flashed through my mind unconsciously.

He hurried back to the courtyard, grabbed Ziyuan's hand and asked, "Did you do the assassination?"

Zi Yuan naturally would not admit it and pretended to widen her eyes in surprise.

"Assassination, who was assassinated? Was it my eldest brother who was killed?"

Aunt Fu's lips trembled as she stared at Ziyuan.

"Don't tell me nonsense. Siyu was being hunted down. Did you do it?"

Ziyuan was even more surprised!

"What did you say? My sister is being hunted?"

"Then, is Sister Siyu okay?"

Aunt Fu shook her head uncertainly.

"I only heard that the eldest young master is investigating this matter. Let me ask you, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Zi Yuan shook off Aunt Fu's hand unhappily.

"Mom, you are confused. How could I possibly assassinate my sister? Didn't I tell you a few days ago that my sister is now a partner of the Han family, and I will be the mistress of the Han family in the future. Even if I don't care about my sister, I won't be stupid enough to cut off my own arm."

Aunt Fu felt that Ziyuan's words made some sense, but she still had doubts in her heart.

"It's really not you who did it?"
