In the afternoon, Zhang Fu cut bamboo and weaved bamboo baskets and backpacks in the yard. The busy farming season was about to begin, and all these things had to be prepared in advance.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at it and asked, "Dad, did you make a colander?"

Zhang Fu nodded: "How big do you want?"

Jiang Xiaohe pointed to the wine jar in the backyard and said, "It's about the same size as the lid of the wine jar."

Zhang Fu immediately put down the bamboo basket he was weaving and started weaving one for her.

At this time, Zhang Da Nv also came up with the embroidery work. She embroidered the flowers while pouting.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy?"

"It's my eldest brother's wedding. My cousin's wife should have heard about it from my aunt, right?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Isn't it just that we didn't get to see each other?"

Zhang Da Niu: "But Dad said that my eldest brother is not young anymore, and asked Mom not to be picky about him."

this.....

Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything. This was a matter between her uncle and aunt, and she couldn't judge.

But she lowered her head and looked at the flowers embroidered by Zhang Danniu, frowning slightly: "This flower is beautiful, but isn't it too stereotyped?"

Zhang Daniu also looked at the flower in her hand: "Ah? Is there? Don't everyone embroider like this?"

Jiang Xiaohe took her handkerchief and said, "It's because everyone embroiders it this way that you can't sell it for money."

"Ah?" Zhang Da Nv didn't understand.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and asked with a smile: "Big girl, do you want to make money?"

Zhang Danniu nodded desperately.

"Then I'll draw two patterns for you. Do you dare to embroider them on your handkerchief?"

Zhang Danniu still nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe asked her: "What's your zodiac sign?"

"dog!"

Jiang Xiaohe picked up a stick nearby and drew a simple dog on the ground.

"This... looks like a dog, but it's cuter than a dog!"

Jiang Xiaohe drew another pig.

Zhang Danniu recognized it immediately.

Next is the tiger...

Except for the dragon, which Jiang Xiaohe didn't know how to draw, she drew everything else for Zhang Danniu.

"Cousin, you are so awesome!"

Jiang Xiaohe threw away the stick in her hand: "If you embroider a few pieces according to what I drew for you, and sell them in town, you will definitely make more money than you do now."

"Really?" Zhang Danv was a little uncertain.

"If you don't believe it, you can embroider one and sell it in a shop. Then you will know whether it is true or not."

Zhang Danniu nodded immediately and said, "Then cousin, I will go back and make the pattern according to the one you just drew." After saying that, she stood up, fearing that she would go back too late and would not be able to remember the style.

"Uncle, I'm going back first."

Zhang Fu nodded.

Wang Qiuxia came out with the washed clothes, and only her back was seen.

"Kid, why are you running so fast?"

Jiang Xiaohe helped her hang up the clothes, and Zhang Fu's colander was almost finished.

"Daughter-in-law, do you think it's suitable?"

Jiang Xiaohe held the colander and nodded, "Dad, that's right! Mom, please clean up the remaining wine jars and prepare two gauze for me."

Then she went to the backyard and took out the first few jars of brewed wine.

Wang Qiuxia had prepared everything she wanted.

Jiang Xiaohe put gauze on the mouth of the washed jar, asked Wang Qiuxia to hold it on both sides, then put the colander on the gauze, and then picked up a jar of wine and poured it into the colander.

Seeing this, Zhang Fu stopped what he was doing and watched her filter the wine.

While pouring the wine, Jiang Xiaohe explained to the two old men that this was filtering.

"This filtration is to filter out the grape residue in the wine, and putting the gauze at the bottom is to make the filtration cleaner."

As soon as the wine is poured out, the sweet flavor of the fruit wine comes out.

"This wine smells different from ordinary wine."

Jiang Xiaohe filtered a jar of wine and said with a smile: "Of course it's different. This is fruit wine. When we brewed it, we added sugar. It doesn't taste as strong as traditional grain wine, but it's sweeter and suitable for all ages."

"So good?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "But this filtered wine still needs to ferment for a few more days. When the busy farming season is over, we can sell it."

When Wang Qiuxia heard about the sale, her face suddenly lit up: "This is the first time I brew this wine, and the first time I've heard of it."

"Don't worry, mother. We will be able to sell it for a good price. Then we will have enough money to have a good New Year."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and nodded. Zhang Fu, who was listening beside her, felt somewhat relieved. He turned around and went back to weaving.

It took an entire afternoon. Because the wine was brewed at different times, she didn't filter several jars. However, she put the filtered wine on the other side, mixed it with soil, and applied it around the mouth of the jar.

When going to market, Jiang Xiaohe carried some sour jujube cakes to the town. This time, Zhang Fu went with her. It was almost the busy farming season, and if they went to market today, they would have to wait for some time before the next market.

Jiang Xiaohe gave Zhang Fu one or two taels of silver and asked him to buy the tools needed for work. She then carried the sour jujube cakes to the entrance of the restaurant.

As soon as she reached the door, Shopkeeper Yu came out.

"Manager Yu, you've arrived at the store so early today!" Jiang Xiaohe greeted.

"I'm waiting for you!"

"Ah? Wait for me?"

"That's right!" Shopkeeper Yu said, looking at the things in her backpack: "Are you still selling sour jujube cakes today?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

"You don't have to sell it. Just divide it into two parts for me. I want it all!"

"You want all of them?"

Shopkeeper Yu nodded: "Actually, it's not me who wants it, it's my customer who wants it."

"Your guests want it?"

Shopkeeper Yu explained: "Did you sell this thing to a wealthy man before? He always wanted more?"

Jiang Xiaohe thought of the servant from last time and nodded slightly.

"You're lucky. The wife of that gentleman got pregnant. After taking your medicine, her morning sickness wasn't as severe. So she advertised your medicine. Now two customers have come to our restaurant. They know that you used to sell things outside our restaurant. They came several times but failed. They have a lot of things to do at home, but they are afraid of missing you, so they asked me to buy this medicine for them!"
