Chapter 156 Brewing
"I don't know yet, what's your name, young lady?" Su Qiuyi asked first.
"My last name is An. You look younger than me, so why don't you call me Sister An?"
She is the only child in the family, so when she goes out she always likes people to call her sister.
Su Qiuyi didn't mind. If we only count this life, the other person is indeed older than him.
"Okay, Sister An, this is my cousin, Yang Ruxue. That is my eldest brother, Su Yunsheng!" Su Qiuyi introduced his brother and sister to Princess Anle.
The two of them greeted Princess Anle very politely.
The two men didn't know that the other was a princess, so they remained calm.
Su Qiuyi pretended not to know, but he was calmer than the other two who didn't know.
When Su Yunsheng stood up to introduce himself, Princess Anle was slightly shocked, but soon recovered and said with a smile, "When I saw him during the day, I thought Mr. Su was just the accountant. It turns out that he is Boss Su's eldest brother? He is so handsome."
As an unmarried girl, she could praise boys without blushing, just like a mother of several children teasing handsome boys.
Su Yunsheng was indeed a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether to sit or stand, and was too embarrassed to know how to respond.
"Sister An, please stop talking. My elder brother is shy and should be ashamed." As she said that, she pulled Su Yunsheng and asked him to sit down.
Su Yunsheng looked at his sister with gratitude for helping him out. It was the first time he had seen a girl so shamelessly praise a boy's appearance on the spot. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, but keeping silent would seem impolite to her.
Fortunately, my sister came to my rescue.
After the meal, Su Qiuyi felt that Princess Anle and he had a lot in common and some of their ideas were the same, so he liked her very much.
As they chatted, Princess Anle began to lose confidence in herself, and Su Qiuyi had to help her demonstrate several times before she was able to safely conceal her background.
It was not until they were about to leave after having eaten and drunk their fill that Princess Anle revealed her purpose.
She actually wanted to buy a birthday present for her father, and by chance she heard about Qing Hezheng's grocery store, so she sneaked out.
But after arriving, she couldn't find anything to give to her father. They all looked like things that girls would like. Although she bought quite a few and liked each one of them very much, she was still a little disappointed. She didn't achieve her main purpose.
So she stayed in the grocery store and refused to leave. When she saw Su Qiuyi and others closed the door and came to the restaurant, she followed them over to make friends with them and see if she could buy something that outsiders couldn't buy.
Su Qiuyi listened to the innocent princess confessing to him after sending everyone else away. She couldn't bear to refuse him and took him to the grocery store.
She was afraid of being too conspicuous, so she kept those swords and didn't take them out again after selling a few. If Princess Anle wanted to give one to her father, it was not impossible for her to take one out.
It's a good opportunity for her to earn some extra money.
What we have to do next is going to cost a lot of money.
"Great! As expected, you have hidden some good stuff. I came here at the right place! I heard my father praise the sword in your grocery store as a peerless sword, so I made inquiries from many sources. Now, I wonder how happy my father will be when he sees this sword. Thank you, my beautiful sister."
Princess Anle was so happy to get the sword that she jumped up and down to express her gratitude. Then she put it away carefully, paid the silver directly without any stinginess or bargaining.
"It's business, we both get what we need from you, Sister An, you don't have to thank me!" Su Qiuyi said obediently. Even though she knew the other party's identity, she still called her Sister An. This made Princess Anle a little curious. She looked Su Qiuyi up and down, and she liked her more and more. She waved her hand and said, "I accept you as my sister. If you have any problems that you can't solve in the future, just come to Yongning County to find me. If I can't solve it, my father will help..."
She said this with great confidence, but little did she know that Princess Anle was a troublemaker herself. It was good enough that she didn't cause any trouble, let alone solve any problems. Every time, it was always others who cleaned up her mess.
If it weren't for her identity as a princess, she would have died several times.
"Thank you, Sister An! I'll take note of it."
In this way, he sold the sword and adopted a princess sister, making a lot of money.
It was more than ten days later that these words reached Chu Mingxiao's ears.
Su Qiuyi mentioned it inadvertently when she was busy writing a letter to Chu Mingxiao. Chu Mingxiao was so amused that he didn't expect that his little girl was so capable and could even make friends with such a difficult princess.
Su Qiuyi didn't know about all that. After seeing Princess Anle off, he handed over the grocery store to his cousin and went to work picking grapes.
The grapes are ripe and the fruits are so abundant that the saplings can hardly bear the weight.
Su Qiuyi thought about it and quickly called the villagers to start picking.
August is the season when grapes ripen, and there is no farming season in Zhanghong Village. Su Qiuyi waved his hand and a large group of people came over.
Among them is the Su family’s live-in son-in-law, a handsome man picked up by Su Xiaofei from the back mountain.
This time, Su Qiuyi discovered that Su Xiaofei was married and had found a live-in son-in-law, and she was actually picked up by herself.
Su Xiaofang finally remembered to tell her niece about this. The old Su family didn't take it seriously so she had never mentioned it.
"Su Xiaofei picked him up herself. Seeing that he was handsome, she climbed onto the man's kang. Somehow, the man didn't struggle and stayed as the son-in-law of the Su family. Yiyi, you don't know, but this really pissed off your uncles. They had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. It was very noisy at the beginning, but now it's quiet. I don't know why. I guess they got some benefits."
The two of them just chatted and were busy arranging personnel and explaining precautions. They had no time to think about it in detail and went on with their own business.
Su Qiuyi personally taught the people how to pick the fruits, and then agreed to pay them based on the weight and completeness of the fruits picked, rather than on a daily basis.
Moreover, she is too busy to cook now, so lunch is not provided. Comparatively, the wages are much higher, so no one cares about lunch. After all, it is August now, and wild vegetables are harvested, so everyone can fill their stomachs.
What is the immortal who has no time to serve lunch busy with...
I saw Su Qiuyi filling the yard with large vats and covering them with coarse cloth to dry the grapes.
There are also a few people who are washing grapes. After washing, the grapes are carefully dried and the water is controlled. After drying, the grapes are put into a large vat and crushed...
Step by step, each step had someone in charge. She shuttled among the group of people, checking whether there were any mistakes in each step, and she was very busy.
That's right, she wants to use all the grapes halfway up the mountain to make wine.
With Bai Xiaojing's help, everything can be done with half the effort, let alone making wine.
And this business will be handed over to her father to take full responsibility.
Therefore, the person who followed closely behind Su Qiuyi and took notes with a pen and paper was none other than Su Laosan, who was pulled back from the picking front by his daughter.
