【Since we are here, we have to do something】

The matter was temporarily resolved, and the Yu family father and son were relieved.

Uncle Yu tidied up silently, while secretly looking at Ye Fan - what Ye Fan did today made him quite impressed.

Ye Fan didn't care, and focused on looking at this small winery.

The main house is built with bricks, stones and wooden pillars. The main house faces the street. There is a small yard behind the house. The south side leans against the soil slope and a deep hole is dug for wine storage.

To the west is the brewing room, with a stove and utensils. The place where grain was originally piled up is now empty.

Ye Fan was a little excited. This is an ancient brewery with authentic traditional crafts. If you can take a photo and send it back to your instructor, you will definitely not lose your scholarship this semester!

Speaking of which, he is a graduate student at Imperial University, majoring in brewing engineering.

His mentor is currently working on a project, specializing in the study of the ancient brewing method mentioned in the "Book of Wine", and Ye Fan is responsible for the "saccharification reaction of grain in a crude storage environment".

Before the experiment is finished, people will time travel.

Yu Dalang followed behind him, with undisguised admiration in his tone, "If Xiao Lang hadn't come here today, this wine shop would probably be evacuated by those heartless people!"

Ye Fan smiled and looked at Yu Erlang, "Thanks to Brother Erlang's cooperation."

He just saw Yu Erlang's cleverness, so he called his name at that time. If it was replaced by the upright Yu Dalang, the play really wouldn't last.

Yu Erlang didn't feel the joy of being praised at all, instead he looked at him with his thick black eyebrows furrowed into a ball - this prodigal son must have been thrown into a fool, right?When did it become so sexual?

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled warmly at him.

Yu Erlang was taken aback, feeling even more weird.

Yu Dalang gave him an elbow, and reprimanded him in a naive voice: "Xiao Lang is talking to you, and he doesn't say anything!"

Yu Erlang collected himself, and let out an annoyed "squeak".

Ye Fan laughed even wider.

After tidying up the messy wine shop, Ye Fan walked home with the three of Yu's family.

He came in a hurry and didn't have time to take a closer look. When he went back, Ye Fan deliberately slowed down and looked at the surrounding scenery calmly.

Experience it personally, and you can clearly feel the backwardness and poverty of this yellow land.

It is the end of February now, and the fields outside the village are still barren. The undulating yellow land is bare and barren, and there are not even a few weeds.

A cave dwelling was dug out on the high and low slopes, the walls were smoothed, and doors and windows were installed. A family of young and old lived in it.Small, dilapidated, messy, without any sense of beauty.

Ye Fan has heard people say that the process of building cave dwellings is very difficult.

There is no machinery in this era, and the soil in the pit is carried by hand and shoulders, and it is hard to know how many calluses are worn out.This generation can't finish picking, and the next generation will continue to pick.

Generation after generation, they have worked hard all their lives, just to dig two caves, marry a wife, and raise a few children.

As for eating enough, I dare not even think about it.The prosperity of the previous dynasty could not afford to worry about food and clothing, let alone this chaotic world of fragmentation?

Farmers in this era are really suffering.

Ye Fan had a strong thought for no reason—since he came, he had to do something.

If it can make the life of the villagers better, it won't be in vain for him to go through a journey.

At this time, Yu's father and son were also worried.

The family has no money, and there is not even much food left.As for the wine in the wine shop, if it could be sold for a few dollars in the past, but now it has been mixed with water, how can it be sold?

Even if he died of poverty and starvation, he would not smash the signboard of his old club.

***

Ye Family Cave.

Ever since the three of Ye Fan left, Aunt Yu panicked, walking around, unable to do any work.

Under her influence, Yu Sanniang also sat down on the steps with a sad face.

Dalang's daughter-in-law didn't show it on her face, but she was also worried.She took her son's little hand and stood silently by the door, waiting with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

It wasn't until Ye Fan and the others returned to the cave in one piece that the women's hanging hearts were put back in their stomachs.

Yu Sanniang secretly wiped away her tears, and went back to the house to get a feather duster to sweep the dust for her brother and dad.

Dalang's wife quickly fetched four bowls of water and handed them to several people one by one.

Aunt Yu went up to meet her and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

Ye Fan drank the water and explained the situation concisely.

Aunt Yu was stunned, and murmured, "Where did you get such a large sum of money?"

Sitting or standing, the father and son of the Yu family shook their heads and sighed.

Ye Fan didn't speak for a while. In fact, he already had a plan in mind, but it's not easy to make a decision by himself, so he didn't rush to speak.

"Only two days..." Aunt Yu turned her head to look at her little daughter at the bottom of the steps, her wrinkled face was full of tangles.

Yu Sanniang didn't know what to think of, her face turned pale with fright, and she cried tremblingly: "Mother, I, I'm already grown up, I can't sell it for money..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the courtyard changed.

Especially Yu Erlang had the biggest reaction, "Don't care if it's stealing or robbing, I'll do it! No matter what you say, you can't sell Sanniang!"

Aunt Yu rolled her eyes at her children, dumbfounded, and scolded: "Tianjie talks nonsense, she is like this, greedy, lazy and ugly, even if I want to sell, no one will buy it!"

Although she was scolded, Yu Sanniang covered her face, crying and laughing.

Dalang's wife walked up to her, patted her on the back and comforted her softly.

Hammer raised her skinny face, and said naively, "Don't cry, aunt, ugly..."

Yu Sanniang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Yu family father and son stretched their eyebrows.

It’s no wonder that they are overthinking, the lives of the poor are the least valuable these days, ordinary people can’t make a living, and selling children and daughters is too common.

Ye Fan was concentrating on making plans, and the conversations of Yu's family went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't listen at all.

Aunt Yu saw that he was sullen and silent, thinking that he was worried, and seeing the rare dignified expression on that delicate little face, she couldn't help feeling very distressed.

So, she didn't hesitate anymore, and stepped into the Westinghouse.

When he came out again, he had a carved wooden box half a foot long in his hand.

Seeing the box in her hand, Yu Sanniang finally understood why her mother was staring at her just now.

In that box was a pair of silver hairpins, which were given by the mistress of the Ye family, saying they were for her makeup.Even in the most difficult time of life, Aunt Yu was not willing to touch it.Unexpectedly, it was taken out today.

Yu Sanniang lowered her eyes and said nothing after all.

Aunt Yu stroked the box for a long time, finally made up her mind, and gave it to Uncle Yu, "Take this, go to the pawn shop to exchange some money!"

The men didn't know why, but Dalang's wife couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Mother, this is my sister's dowry..."

Aunt Yu sighed, she was also reluctant to part with it, putting aside the dowry or not, just for the kindness of the mistress, she shouldn't pawn the hairpin.

"Isn't this a difficult time? If you don't take this hairpin, where will you get the wages? Is it possible that those people really let those people demolish the winery?"

Yu Sanniang pinched the corner of her clothes, took the box from Aunt Yu, and said firmly, "I don't want a dowry, Daddy, just pawn it!"

The soft and weak little lady seldom has such decisive moments.

Uncle Yu took the box, his rough hands trembling slightly.

Yu Dalang sighed heavily.

Unwilling and helpless, Yu Erlang turned his back angrily, hating himself for his incompetence.

Ye Fan finally regained his senses from deep thinking, watching this dramatic scene, couldn't help being very moved.

Now that things have happened, he can't help looking forward and backward.

"I don't need to sell the dowry, I have a solution." After saying that, he walked into the cave, and after a while, he dragged out a big box.

The box was so heavy that Ye Fan couldn't move it at all, so he had to rub it on the ground and drag it.

When Uncle Yu saw it, he hurried to stop him, "Xiao Lang, be careful, don't break it."

"It's all made of copper, and it won't break if you knock it." Although he said so, his subordinates still relaxed their strength.

There are ancient swords, lamps, wine vessels, and bronze tripods in the box, all of which are bruised and simple, and they are said to have come from noble families in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.The original body didn't know how much money it cost to put together such a large box.

Uncle Yu and Yu Dalang lifted it together and put it in the middle of the courtyard.

Although Yu Erlang was reluctant, he stepped forward to give his hand, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What time is it, I still don't forget to show off your 'baby', lest no one will remember it!"

Ye Fan didn't have a bad temper, so he immediately turned back, "Have you read into my heart? How do you know I'm doing it to show off?"

Yu Erlang's eyes widened, astonished at Ye Fan's sharp teeth.

Ye Fan glanced at him, then took out the key from his purse, and handed it to Uncle Yu, "Pawn these things, as much as you can pawn."

The reason for saying this is that these antiques were also bought by that cousin, and Ye Fan felt that they might not all be real.

Uncle Yu was very surprised, "Xiao Lang, this is..."

Not only him, everyone was too shocked to speak.

Ye Fan smiled lightly, and confessed: "Divide the money, don't take it all at once, so as not to keep the price down."

Everyone in the Yu family looked at each other, still in disbelief.

Ye Fan put the key into Uncle Yu's hand, and urged with a smile, "Go early and come back early."

Uncle Yu looked at the box, then at Ye Fan, and confirmed again and again: "Xiao Lang, have you thought about it, do you really want to pawn these treasures?"

"Yes." Ye Fan nodded without hesitation.

Originally, he was still thinking that it wasn't his own thing, so he shouldn't handle it so hastily.

After thinking about it, the original body is gone, so why worry so much?After all, he was also helping him clean up the mess.

"In addition to the wages of the long-term workers, there are also the seeds sown in spring, plus the needs for the follow-up operation of the winery. There are many places to spend money. You should work harder and go to more places!"

Hearing what he said, Aunt Yu finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth and choked up, "Xiao Lang has grown up and knows how to take care of the family..."

Uncle Yu didn't hesitate anymore, he drove the ox cart himself, called Dalang Erlang, and drove to the county seat.
