Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 228: Floral Water

But just sitting in the yard and looking at them is already extremely beautiful.

After a while, Chunzhi came back carrying the banana leaf.

"Miss, I'm back!" After Chunzhi entered the yard, she closed the gate.

"Okay, let's wash all these banana leaves together!" An Yue said as she stood up from the recliner.

After Chunzhi put down the backpack, she got up and went to the kitchen.

She fetched a basin of clean water and brought it to the stone slabs in the yard, preparing to wash the banana leaves she had just cut.

An Yue then stood up and started washing the banana leaves with Chunzhi.

"Miss, Chunzhi just heard the villagers say that they seem to have dug several deep wells." Chunzhi said while washing banana leaves.

Although this was within An Yue's expectations, it was also beyond her expectations.

"Really? After this deep well is dug, the villagers are no longer worried. This is a great thing for our village."

"Miss, this year's weather is really strange. Chunzhi has never felt so dry before."

Chunzhi told Anyue what she had seen and heard just now: "These past few days, the grass on the roadside has also started to dry up and curl its leaves."

"Oh, and just now when I passed by the paddy fields, I saw that there was no water in them. Standing on the side of the road, I saw that the mud in the fields was only slightly moist."

After hearing this, An Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! We have a continuous source of water in this deep well, but with our bodies, carrying water to irrigate the fields is already tiring."

"If I carry water to irrigate two mu of paddy fields, I'm afraid I'll be so tired that I won't be able to straighten my back."

"But, Miss, we can't just watch the paddy fields dry up!" Chunzhi was very worried.

"We have to water the fields frequently now. We can only carry water twice a day. Let's just make do with this for now!"

"I will go to the county town in the next two days and see if there are any suitable male assistants in the dental shop. I will pick one or two to come back and work for me."

Chunzhi was a little worried and said, "Miss, where does the male helper live? He won't live in the same yard with us, right? Miss is still young, and living in the same yard with a man, and there is no adult at home, Chunzhi feels that it is not safe at all."

"Well, what you said is indeed the case. I have already thought about it."

"After the male helpers were bought back, they were asked to go to the back mountain to cut trees and bamboos to build two houses."

Chunzhi smiled and said, "Miss, this is a great idea! This way they will have a place to live and can help with the work."

"But isn't this a bit too harsh on them?" An Yue turned and asked Chunzhi.

Chunzhi listened and said in a low voice, "In fact, the slaves in the pawnbroker are all like animals, and can be picked and sold at will."

Chunzhi looked at An Yue seriously and said, "Miss, so Chunzhi feels that you are the best and kindest person in the world."

After Chunzhi finished speaking, her eyes became moist again.

She raised her head and took a deep breath, paused, and continued, "If they are lucky enough to meet a master as good as you, it would be a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes."

An Yue looked at Chunzhi, who was feeling a little sad. She flicked the water from washing banana leaves on Chunzhi's face with her fingers, and asked with a sly smile, "Chunzhi, am I really as good as you say?"

Chunzhi quickly raised her hand to wipe her face, with a bitter smile and helplessness on her face: "Miss is good, but you always like to do bad things to Chunzhi."

An Yue pretended to be unhappy and said, "I see you are about to cry again. I was just trying to make you happy, but you said I was being naughty!"

"Oh, miss, Chunzhi didn't mean that." Chunzhi pulled An Yue's arm repeatedly to coax her.

An Yue said proudly: "Then punish Chunzhi to make lunch for a while."

"Okay, okay, Chunzhi will listen to you, young lady."

As they talked, the two started laughing again.

While chatting and laughing, they had already washed all the banana leaves, took out two whole leaves from the basin, and spread them flat on the rinsed stone slabs to dry.

“Once the banana leaves are dry, we can start packing the honey.”

"Well, then Chunzhi will go sweep the floor first." After Chunzhi said that, she turned around to get the broom and started cleaning the house inside and out.

An Yue suddenly remembered the floral water in the ear room, which had been brewed for several days.

While I'm free, I want to move it out and see how the toilet water works.

Then she ran to the corner of the ear room and carried the large jar of floral water under the eaves.

She squatted down, impatiently preparing to open the lid of the jar and take a closer look at the production of the toilet water.

An Yue slowly opened the lid, and a refreshing fragrance filled her nose.

She dipped a little floral water and applied it to the area where she had been bitten by mosquitoes yesterday. It felt cool and had a very good anti-itching effect.

An Yue successfully made the floral water and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She decided to sell this homemade floral water, believing that it would be loved by everyone.

An Yue closed the lid of the jar of floral water, stretched herself, and saw that a lot of weeds had grown in the yard without her noticing.

She took a small hoe and went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pull out the weeds and loosen the soil for the peppers.

The peppers have already bloomed, and many small peppers are hanging on the branches.

Some are as long as a little finger, and some are as big as soybeans. They are growing quite well.

After Chunzhi finished sweeping the house, she saw that the banana leaves had dried up, so she said, "Miss, you can use them to store honey!"

"Okay! I'll be right there." An Yue responded, quickening her hands to pull out the few remaining weeds.

Chunzhi washed her hands, took the small honey jars to the small round tea table, opened the lids one by one and placed them in order, waiting for An Yue to come and fill the honey.

After pulling out the weeds under the pepper tree, An Yue put away the hoe and washed her hands. She wiped the water off her hands and came to Chunzhi.

"Miss, Chunzhi will place the small jars in place for you first." Chunzhi helped slowly.

"Chunzhi, I'm going to the county town to sell honey. Do you want to come with me?"

"That's a place Chunzhi doesn't want to go to. But if the young lady needs Chunzhi's help, Chunzhi will go there."

"Well, okay." An Yue wanted to see if Chunzhi missed the county town at all, but after hearing what she said, it seemed that she didn't want to go.

An Yue made a simple funnel using banana leaves.

An Yue placed the pointed corner of the funnel in the small honey jar, and Chunzhi used a spoon to scoop out the honey from the large jar.

Place a bowl under the spoon and slowly pour it into the funnel.

The two of them were filling the little honey pot leisurely. The little dog Bashi lay obediently beside them with his tongue hanging out, watching them busying themselves quietly.

——Busy for a while.

They finally filled all the small jars. An Yue counted them carefully and found that there were twenty small jars in total. They looked very beautiful when placed together.

"Chunzhi, let's pack these first! We can pack them again after they're sold out."

"Um, yes, miss."
