The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Old Mrs. Zhou and Second Grandma were sitting in the front yard drinking tea and resting, while Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Minghua were in the back yard watching the lambs feeding.

"Third sister, why are these lambs all kneeling to feed?"

Zhou Minghua was very curious about the scene in front of him. The big sheep was lying on the ground, and the little lamb could eat it even without kneeling.

"This is how sheep drink milk. This is the lamb expressing gratitude to the big sheep for feeding it milk. This is called 'A sheep kneels down to thank its mother for feeding it, and a crow repays its parents' kindness in the book.' It means that we should be filial to our mothers. You will understand when Si Ya grows up."

Zhou Minghua nodded thoughtfully, "Then Si Ya should also be filial to her mother."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Si Ya is so good."

Zhou Mingshu touched Zhou Minghua's head to express his satisfaction. This little girl is really sensible.

The two lambs were drinking milk happily, but their appetites were so small that they only took two sips and stopped eating.

The big sheep had too much milk and it kept leaking out.

Goat milk is a good thing. It's a pity to waste it like this.

Zhou Mingshu thought about it and took a jar to collect some.

Goat milk is even more nutritious than cow milk.

Whether it is given to the little cousin or to the adults, it is healthy and harmless to the body.

Zhou Mingshu got down to work right away. He brought a basin of warm water and some fresh grass.

She first wiped the sheep's nipples to make sure they were clean, and then tried again slowly, for she was really afraid of causing the sheep to be disgusted and hit her again.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Mingshu's movements were so gentle that not only did they not cause disgust in Dayang, but they made Dayang very cooperative with her, and soon half a can of goat's milk was squeezed out.

"Si Ya, do you want to try it? It's still hot."

Zhou Mingshu brought the bowl to his little sister. Zhou Minghua leaned over the rim of the bowl and smelled it. Then her face wrinkled, she pinched her nose and said it tasted fishy.

"Third sister, can I not drink?" Zhou Minghua waved her two little hands and kept refusing.

"Really? Don't you want to drink it? Try a sip. This goat milk is really good. Drinking it will not only make you taller, but also more beautiful."

No matter how Zhou Mingshu persuaded him, Zhou Minghua just shook his head and refused.

The little girl had never seen anyone else drink it, and she really didn't dare to be the first one.

Zhou Mingshu knew what his sister was thinking, so he didn't force her. He smiled and took her to the front yard.

"Oh my, you really pushed me out. Did the big sheep kick you?"

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled as she looked at the two bowls of white goat's milk in front of her, with a layer of foam floating on top.

"No, it's quite docile. Maybe the big sheep is feeling a little uncomfortable too."

"Grandma, Second Grandma, please try it, it's still hot when it's just squeezed out."

"It smells fishy to me, why don't we boil it before drinking it."

People of their age know that goat milk is a good thing. In the past, when families were poor, they often encountered the problem of insufficient milk when giving birth.

If someone's sheep gave birth to a lamb or a cow gave birth to a calf, they would be extremely happy.

There are many children in these villages who rely on goat's milk and cow's milk to survive.

But they really couldn't get used to the taste, it tasted fishy just by smelling it.

Seeing that they were unwilling to drink, Zhou Mingshu had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it.

Such fresh goat milk must be drunk while it is fresh. It has an original flavor without any additives or preservatives. It is really delicious!

Zhou Mingshu's actions stunned everyone present.

I didn't expect San Ya to be such a drinker.

"Sanya, there's still one bowl here, do you want to drink more?"

Mrs. Zhou asked. She had not yet recovered from the shock.

Instead, I felt that the previous bowl was not enough for my granddaughter to drink. If she wanted to drink more, there was another bowl.

"Grandma, this bowl is enough. I'm already full. You can drink the rest. Drinking it can strengthen your body and prolong your life. It can also supplement your nutrition. The same goes for children."

After hearing San Ya's words, several people looked at each other. San Ya had been an apprentice in a pharmacy for half a year, so what she said was definitely correct.

So Mrs. Zhou divided the remaining bowl into two halves.

"Aunt, you drink this half bowl, and I'll drink the other half. We, whose half bodies are buried in the ground, need to drink more. San Ya said it can prolong life. I don't want to die so early. I still want to live to hold my great-grandchildren."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished her words, everyone present burst into laughter. She was really not good at being reserved and said whatever was on her mind. It was really funny.

Second Grandma smiled and finally drank the half bowl of goat's milk.

"Thanks to the goat, drinking this half bowl of goat milk may help me live another half a year. I must keep this life to have grandchildren."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became even more lively than before.

But Zhou Minghua on the side felt a little regretful. She should have tasted it just now.

Zhou Mingshu noticed it and patted her head. "Let's wait and see tomorrow. If the lamb still can't finish eating, we'll continue squeezing."

Zhou Minghua then nodded happily.

After drinking the goat milk, a few people sat at the table and chatted. Not long after, a group of people came to the door.

You can tell from their attire that they are from the military defense camp.

"Mrs. Zhou, we are here to get the soap on the orders of Lord Qi."

"Okay, please follow me. We have arranged everything. Please count again to make sure nothing is left out."

Old Mrs. Zhou led the soldiers to the new yard, opened the warehouse and dragged out the soap boxes that had been prepared early in the morning.

When I opened the box, I was first attracted by the floral scent. Then I looked carefully and saw that the soaps were square and wrapped in oil paper with different patterns printed on them.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the soap, the men lifted the box onto the carriage and paid the money.

Old Mrs. Zhou took the two large-denomination silver bills. Although the paper was thin, they were very heavy.

This is two hundred taels of silver!

These soaps were made by these girls during their free time.

It was sold for a lot of money, more than what the restaurant earned in two months.

She had to keep it well as dowry for the maids.

"Oh, that's great, San Ya. If Master Qi has any orders in the future, you must try your best to get them. This business is equivalent to our livelihood for half a year."

Several people laughed after hearing this, and Zhou Mingshu was no exception.

"Grandma, you always say that we are little money-grubbers, but you are also a big money-grubber. It's too easy to win you over with just two hundred taels of silver, haha."

"Girl, two hundred taels of silver is not a lot. This is the amount of money that we country folks can't save even if we work on the land for a lifetime."

"We have several businesses now, all of which make money, so our appetites have become bigger."

Zhou Mingshu stood behind Old Lady Zhou, massaging her shoulders and back to show his courtesy.

Second Grandma also said, "What San Ya said is not wrong. Now that our family has run such a business, these two hundred taels will only last for a year or two. Sister-in-law, you need to expand your appetite. If you don't have a big appetite, how can you continue to do business in the future?"

Once people feel satisfied, they will not easily strive to move forward and make progress.

There is another good saying.

If you don't advance, you will retreat!
