As soon as she returned to the house, Wang Qiuxia took the "huge sum of money" of fifty taels in her hand and quickly gave it to Jiang Xiaohe as if it were hot.

Both Zhang Fu and she are very excited now.

They had never seen so much money in their entire lives.

Jiang Xiaohe held the purse in her hand: "Dad, Mom, what are you going to do with this money?"

Zhang Fu didn't say anything. Wang Qiuxia waved her hands hastily: "What can your father and I do? This money is earned by you. You can make the arrangements."

"Your mother is right."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Mom, Xiaohua was the first to discover these grapes. We benefited from her, so she should have a share of the money."

Zhang Fu nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe continued, "Dad helped me at the time. We traveled many times to get the grapes back, so Dad also got a share of the money. Mom stayed at home with me to make wine and paid a lot, so Mom should also get a share of the money."

"What's the use of dad and mom? We are a family!"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded: "Mom, I just said that, so that you won't attribute all the money to me and forget that you have also paid a lot!"

Wang Qiuxia felt comforted by these words. At least her daughter-in-law could see their efforts.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zhang Fu and said, "Dad, wait until this afternoon, when Boss Meng takes away all the wine in the backyard and all the money is in hand, we can plan how to use the money."

Zhang Fu nodded, with an unstoppable smile on his honest face: "I'll go to the backyard to check out the grape seedlings we moved back from the mountains."

He didn't know this thing was so profitable before, but now that he knows, he naturally has to serve it well.

After that, he asked her again: "The land in the backyard is all vacant. Tell me how you want to take care of it, and I'll do it for you."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled with curved eyebrows: "Thank you, Dad. Don't worry, I will wait for a while to see if the mushroom can produce spawn."

Zhang Fu didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing him busy, Wang Qiuxia hurried to the kitchen to make lunch. "I kept the meat you bought yesterday in cold water, so it didn't go bad. I'll cook it all today!"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded.

At this time, Zeng Hua rushed in.

"Second aunt!"

Seeing that she was fine, Zeng Hua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I went up the mountain with your second uncle early in the morning, and Daniu went to the quarry again. When I came back, I heard from Daniu that there were a lot of people gathered at your door just now. I thought something happened, so I came to check it out."

"Second Aunt is thoughtful. We are fine."

"Then I feel relieved. Look how dirty I am. I'll go back first."

Having said that, the man left.

Wang Qiuxia came out with a melon ladle: "Is your second aunt here?"

"Yes! Second Aunt knew that there were people gathering outside our house. She was worried that something happened to us, so she came to check on us."

Wang Qiuxia nodded and said with a smile: "Your second aunt has always been kind-hearted!"

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen to cook.

After lunch, another carriage came to the village in the afternoon.

All the villagers came out to watch the fun.

The carriage arrived at Zhang Fuji's house and took away many jars of wine. The villagers started talking about it again: "Zhang Fuji can also make wine!"

Some people shook their heads: "I've never heard of it!"

"Could it be that the rich man who came to discuss business with them this morning was talking about this liquor business?"

Everyone thought so and looked at his house with envy.

All the wine jars were moved away, 25 in total, worth two hundred taels in total. In fact, there were 27 jars. Jiang Xiaohe kept two jars, intending to drink them at home during the New Year.

Shopkeeper Yu paid Jiang Xiaohe the balance and said with a smile, "My wife, you have this skill, so you won't have to worry about anything in the future!"

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and said with a half-smile: "Maybe in a few days, I will look for Shopkeeper Yu to do business with me!"

When Shopkeeper Yu heard her say this, he immediately bowed and said, "Then I will be at the restaurant, waiting for news from my wife."

Jiang Xiaohe followed the way the woman returned the greeting in her memory and bowed slightly to him.

Shopkeeper Yu called the coachman, and the two of them drove away in the carriage.

After the others had gone far away, Jiang Xiaohe went back into the house, closed the door, pulled Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia into the house, and put all the money from today's wine sales on the table.

In her mind, it was a huge sum of money. When she first came here a few months ago, she only earned a few hundred coins each time she went to a market...

Now I have finally earned my first pot of gold in this era!

Wang Qiuxia took Jiang Xiaohe's hand and said excitedly: "Xiaohe, pinch me and let me see if this is a dream!"

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help laughing, picked up a gold ingot on the table and put it in her hand: "Mom, I dare not pinch you, why don't you bite this silver to see if it is real."

Wang Qiuxia really bit the silver, her eyes full of smiles: "Really, it's true!"

Zhang Fu looked at her and snorted. He didn't blame her, but smiled instead: "Look at what you have done!"

Wang Qiuxia put down the silver and said, "Am I not excited and happy?"

Jiang Xiaohe took a deep breath: "Dad, Mom, I thought about how to spend this money today."

Zhang Fu nodded and asked her to speak.

Jiang Xiaohe reached out and took out twenty taels and put them aside: "I want to put these twenty taels aside and give them to Xiaohua when I have the chance."

Zhang Fu nodded: "It's due!"

Wang Qiuxia also agreed: "If Xiaohua hadn't told you about this fruit, we wouldn't be able to make wine."

Jiang Xiaohe was grateful for their understanding, and then she took out another eighty taels of silver: "I want to use this money to repair the house! The house we live in now leaks everywhere when it rains in the summer. If it comes to winter, I'm afraid it will be drafty from all sides and it will be very cold!"

The two old men looked at each other and felt relieved, but: "Eighty taels is too much. If we repair the tile house like before, we can hire people ourselves and a dozen taels will be enough!" Zhang Fu said.

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head, "Dad, since we are building a house, we should build it as spacious as possible! Also, since we are building it, we should build it all at once, including the house and the yard."
