Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After finishing one bowl, seeing that they were still not satisfied, Zheng Yuan added another half bowl for them.

"Dashu, Erhe, come here." Zheng Yuan called the two brothers over: "Take this small bowl of ice jelly to your grandfather and his family. It's so hot, give them some to drink."

Zheng Yuan put a little more in this basin, thinking of sending some to the children's grandfather's family. The two old people had sent her brown sugar and eggs in the dark before, and she remembered their kindness. How the original owner treated them before could not be changed. Now she was using this body, and she could choose how to get along with the old Chen family.

Dashu and Erhe were quite surprised. In the past, their mother would never think of sending food to the old house and would never let them have contact with the people in the old house. If their grandparents secretly sent them some food and their mother knew about it, they would be scolded or even beaten.

But when grandpa and grandma came that night, didn't mom say that dad had taught her a lesson in the underworld? Maybe mom had changed after being taught a lesson by dad, so the two simple-minded boys didn't think much about it and just carried the ice jelly over.

He also took the bowl with the drinks from the three people, thinking that he could just rinse it with the water they brought. There was no such thing as being so particular in the village.

"Grandpa, uncle, my mother asked us to bring you some ice jelly."

Li Shuhua was drinking water, but when she heard this, a mouthful of water spurted out of her nose and mouth, choking her and making her cough: "Cough cough cough..."

The other people also looked at the two children in surprise, making Dashu and Erhe feel embarrassed.

It was Old Man Chen who took the basin first. As soon as he touched it, he felt that the basin was unusually cold. He looked inside and indeed could see some ice in the middle of the ice powder.

Old Master Chen was puzzled: "Dashu, where did your mother get this ice? How could she eat such a precious thing?"

What? There is ice. Chen Jiadong's family gathered around to see that it was indeed ice.

Dashu and Erhe had no idea how their mother and Aunt Duan got it, so they just said vaguely: "We don't know either, but my mother said she wanted to start a business and sell this ice jelly."

When he heard that it was going to be used for business, Master Chen took the basin and walked towards Zheng Yuan and the others. Chen Changning, Chen Xiaozhu and Shitou all watched the basin of ice jelly being taken away, and they were about to cry. Isn't this what Second Aunt gave them to eat? Why did Grandpa take it back?

Seeing the three of them being so useless, Chen Jiadong glared at them, and the children quickly retracted their heads. In fact, he also wanted to eat it, and saw that there was also a bowl of brown sugar, and he didn't know how delicious it would be if he poured it on.

Zheng Yuan was just about to go to the fields when he saw the two children coming back with Old Man Chen. What was going on? Why did they bring the things back intact?

"Wife Jiaming, this thing of yours is too precious. Please sell it. We can just drink some water." Old Man Chen handed the basin to her.

Zheng Yuan was stunned. He thought he was reluctant to eat it. Well, ice was so precious in ancient times. It was normal for an old man to be reluctant to eat it.

"Dad, we made this ourselves, so it's not expensive. Besides, we can't eat the ice tomorrow, and it would be a waste if you don't eat it." Zheng Yuan comforted him.

"Did you make this ice yourself?" Hearing her say this, Mr. Chen was even more surprised. When did his second daughter-in-law have such a skill?

"It's mainly because Sister Duan is very capable. She figured it out through research." Zheng Yuan was afraid that if he said too much he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, so he simply pushed the blame onto Duan Minmin.

"She made it? Then you give it to us to eat. She won't come to fight with you, right?" The shadow of the previous fight between the two still remained in Mr. Chen's mind.

Zheng Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, no, we decided to do this business together. Dad, take it back and eat it quickly, or it will melt and won't be cool anymore."

After explaining, Mr. Chen nodded and prepared to take it back to eat. Before leaving, he reminded them with concern: "You two must keep this method of making ice secret. Dashu and the others can't tell it. This is a way to make money. It's hard to guarantee that others won't be jealous."

"I understand, Dad." Knowing that the old man was worried that the orphan and widow would not be able to keep the baby, Zheng Yuan also responded obediently.

Seeing grandpa bring the basin back, Chen Jiadong's family's eyes lit up.

Old Man Chen took the bowl that Dashu and the others brought, rinsed it with water, poured a bowl of water, put brown sugar in it and handed it to Shitou first.

Shitou hurriedly pushed it back: "Grandpa, you drink first, you all drink first, I'll drink last."

Although he was extremely greedy, he still pushed the stone back to Mr. Chen.

Old Master Chen did not refuse, he took the bowl and started drinking. The cool taste instantly suppressed the heat in his body. He drank one mouthful after another and soon finished the bowl. He had never eaten ice in the hot summer in his life. Even at his old age, he still relied on his second daughter-in-law for help.

After he finished drinking, he handed the bowl to Chen Jiadong, and several people couldn't wait to rinse their bowls and drink one after another. After drinking, they still felt unsatisfied. Eating ice cream in this hot summer is a wonderful thing. Second Aunt is really amazing. Several children thought so in their hearts.

After the meal, Mr. Chen asked Shitou to take the basin and bowl back.

"Second Aunt, I'll put the bowls and basins here. Thank you, Second Aunt."

Zheng Yuan had already gone to the field to pull weeds with the children. When he heard Shi Tou's voice, he looked up and saw that it was Shi Tou, the youngest son of the old family.

"Hey, you're welcome, just leave it there."

Sanni didn't go back either, insisting on going to the fields with them, so Zheng Yuan followed her. Strength lies in numbers, so they could finish the work earlier and apply fertilizer earlier, so as to get more ears of corn and a higher yield. Although they didn't expect to get rich by farming, there was nothing wrong with a higher yield. Who would complain that their own grain yield was too high?

Although Zheng Yuan had worked in the fields a few days ago, he still felt that this kind of farming was too hard. He worked hard all year round, but in the end, he could not harvest much. It is no wonder that young people in modern rural areas are desperate to run to the city. There is endless work to do, endless hardships to endure, and in the end, they can't make much money. Who would want to stay in the village?

When the sun began to set, Zheng Yuan straightened up and estimated that there were not many left. If the children came back tomorrow, they would be able to finish pulling them out.

"Let's go home." There is always work to be done, so just do a little bit every day. It would be counterproductive to be too tired in one day and affect the next day.

But the kids obviously didn't think so.

"Mom, you go home first. It's still early. Let's work for a while longer. Otherwise, we'll be idle when we go back." said Dashu.

The other children nodded in agreement.

Well, what should I do if the children are too hardworking? But it is true that it will take another hour or two to cook when I get home, and the children will have nothing to do when they get home, so let them work for a while.

"Then you should come back soon, don't work too late." Zheng Yuan reminded, and went home with the pig grass that Sanni had picked on his back.

After returning home, Zheng Yuan scooped up the pig food from the pot and brought it to the two little pigs in the backyard, and began to prepare dinner quickly. Now, cooking for ten people is easy for her, mainly because the recipes are simple and do not require much thought, and the children are very supportive of her.

When Zheng Yuan scooped up the last of the dried vegetable soup, the children who had worked in the fields came back. They set the table and were about to call Dashu and Erhe to see why Duan Min and Sizhu had not arrived yet when they heard them coming. Sizhu also came.

After asking Duan Minmin, I found out that Sizhu followed her. Duan Minmin praised him so much that he was speechless and even pulled pig grass for her for the whole afternoon.

Sure enough, the child cannot refuse praise, and the more he is praised, the more motivated he becomes.

After dinner, Zheng Yuan took out the maltose he had bought from the grocery store owner yesterday and gave each child a piece.

The older kids didn't expect that they also had some, and they didn't know what to do with the candy in their hands. Sanni didn't expect that she also had candy. Except for Sizhu who took it and ate it without any hesitation, the others looked at them without crying.

Neither of them could stand this scene, so they quickly sent them away to eat candy while they discussed going to Yongding County tomorrow.
