Happy Little Scholar

There were about thirty bunches of candied haws that Lao Fang brought down the mountain today. Those naughty kids just bought half of them, and there were still about a dozen bunches left. Obviously, the girl couldn't take them back by herself. After the girl paid the money, , Lao Convenience offered to help her deliver things to the place. 』

Having so many copper coins in his pocket was so heavy that it also made him feel very at ease.

At this time, Lao Fang couldn't help but feel ashamed for doubting his uncle's thoughts just now.

"Uncle, how are you making this candied haws on a stick?"

The girl walked in front, holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand, and gently licked the icing on the outside. She guessed that it was icing sugar, but she was not sure, so she turned around and asked in confusion.

"Girl, I can't tell you this." Old Fang laughed naively, not revealing the method of making candied haws just because the girl was pretty.

Lao Fang is not that stupid. This is what he will use to make his family rich in the future. How could he tell others casually?

Hearing Lao Fang's answer, the girl was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she realized that her question just now seemed inappropriate. She smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I forgot that this is uncle's secret recipe. I Shouldn't ask."

Lao Fang laughed twice and did not answer.

Following the girl, I walked through the noisy streets. I don’t know when the crowd began to thin out, and the buildings on both sides gradually became more luxurious. There was a row of vermilion gates, and there were mighty stone lions in front of them. Incomparable.

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to buy a village here..." Lao Fang muttered secretly in his heart, and began to wonder about the girl's identity. After all, the people who can live here are either rich or noble. They are accessible to ordinary people.

"This is it."

Not long after, the girl stopped, turned around, smiled and said to the big man: "You wait here for a moment, I'll go in and come out right away."

Lao Fang nodded and watched the girl walk into the door, which was about ten feet high. The two boys at the door bent down and said something, but he didn't hear it clearly because they were too far away.

Not long after, the girl's figure appeared again.

Four girls followed her, each holding a tray in their hands. They walked up to the big man named Fang and looked at the strings of crystal-clear candied haws. The girl on the left asked curiously: "Sister Rouge, what is this?" Something? "

"Don't ask any more questions. I'll tell you later. Take off all these candied haws first."

Several girls looked at Lao Fang with doubtful eyes, and then focused on the candied haws one by one.

The stick on the shoulder cannot be thrown away. When these girls took down all the candied haws, Lao Fang's task was successfully completed. Before leaving, he heard a girl murmur, "Isn't this just a red fruit?" , is there anything rare..."

As for what happened next, Lao Fang no longer had the time or interest to listen. Now he just wanted to go back to the village and start making the next batch of candied haws...

At this time, in Anqing Fucheng, there was a very luxurious mansion in the back garden.

"I didn't expect that a mere red fruit could be made so delicious." A certain girl licked her lips with unsatisfied thoughts, her movements were very seductive.

"You actually doubted me just now..." The girl named Yanzhi glanced at her and said.

"Hehe, it's all my fault, thank you Sister Rouge." The girl shook her arm in a flattering way and said with a smile.

"It's strange to say, these are just ordinary red fruits, how can there be such a big difference in taste." A girl said in confusion.

"It should be because of the layer of icing sugar on the outside. I'm afraid it's not difficult to make this candied haws. I might try it in the future." The girl named Rouge thought for a while and said.

Although I didn't ask about the production method just now, it is not difficult to guess. After all, apart from the red fruits, this candied haws only has a layer of sweet stuff on the outside, which seems to be covered with icing sugar after boiling.

"Rouge, what are you doing here?"

A soft voice suddenly came from behind. Several girls turned their heads and saw a beautiful woman walking towards this side with the support of two maids.

The woman had a beautiful face. Although the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes betrayed her age, her charm remained intact. However, her face was somewhat haggard and thin, and her face was also unusually pale.

"lady……"

Seeing this woman, several girls stood up in panic, feeling a little uneasy.

They are originally servants in this mansion, so if a few of them gather here, they can easily be thought of as being lazy.

"Madam, why are you out? It's windy outside, so you should go back quickly." A trace of worry appeared on the face of the girl named Yanzhi, and she hurried over and helped the woman.

"It's okay. If you feel bored in the room, it's okay to go out for a walk." The beautiful woman shook her head and said.

After saying that, he cast his eyes inadvertently and saw a bunch of red and crystal-clear objects on the plate on the stone table behind the girls. He walked over and asked curiously: "What is this?"

The girl closest to her quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and immediately said respectfully: "Madam, this is called candied haws."

"Candied Haw Lu?" the woman asked again, "What is this thing used for?"

"Madam, this is the snack Yanzhi just bought on the street." The pretty girl named Yanzhi stepped forward and said.

The woman nodded, picked up a string of candied haws, looked at it, and said, "It's crystal clear and looks good."

Then she took a bite, the sweet and sour taste made her mouth water, and she said, "It tastes delicious."

Seeing the woman finish the string of candied haws, all the girls couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Especially the girl named Yanzhi, whose pretty face showed a look of surprise.

As the lady's personal maid, she certainly knew that the lady had been feeling unwell these days, and could hardly eat anything. Occasionally, she would vomit out something, so that she had lost a lot of weight. No matter how many doctors she invited, it was useless. Even the imperial physician who was specially invited was helpless. It was the first time she saw the lady eating so happily in so many days.

"Why do I feel even hungrier after eating these things?" After finishing the candied haws in her hand, the woman's face showed a puzzled look, and she said, "Yanzhi, tell the dining hall to make some food and send it to the room later."

"Yes, Madam, I'll go right away!"

The girl's face was even more surprised, and after answering, she immediately trotted away.

A moment later, in the study room of the mansion, the middle-aged man who was reading in the room stood up suddenly after hearing the servant's report, and said with surprise: "What did you say, Madam can eat?"

The girl nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, Madam took the initiative to ask the dining hall to make it. Sister Yanzhi said that Madam ate a lot tonight!"

"Quick, take me to see Madam!"

The middle-aged man laughed and strode out of the room after his wife's stubborn illness was cured.

At the same time, Lao Fang also strode into Li Yi's house.

Crashed!

Putting a pile of copper coins on the table in front of him, Lao Fang laughed and said, "Son-in-law, all those candied haws have been sold!"

Before, he only earned 100 copper coins a month from herding horses. Today, he earned as much as his monthly income in just a short time. Lao Fang was very happy.

"Now we don't have to worry about whether Zhuzi can get married, right?"

Such a result was within Li Yi's expectations, and he said with a smile.

Lao Fang laughed and said with great enthusiasm, "Don't worry, if we make money in the future, we can also learn from those rich people, live in a big house, marry a few concubines, and live a comfortable life!"

The big houses he saw today obviously completely stimulated Lao Fang, and even his life goals were greatly improved.

It seems that he was shocked by Lao Fang's lofty ideals. Li Yi's smile froze on his face. After a moment, he sighed, stood up, patted Lao Fang on the shoulder, and left without saying a word.

"Son-in-law, what's wrong?"

Li Yi's behavior puzzled the big man surnamed Fang. As soon as he asked the question, he seemed to sense something and turned his head suddenly, and saw a familiar face behind him.

However, this familiar face was extremely gloomy at this time.

Who else could it be if not his wife!

"Fool, what did you just say!"

In just a moment, the broom in Li Yi's house was seized by Fang.

"What a sin!"

Li Yi stood in the yard and heard the screams from the room, and sighed deeply.
