Chapter 1174: Sick?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As long as Xue Dagui was friendly with the other families, ice would be sold.
Now, Xue Dagui had to come back with Xue Sifu to pick some grapes and bring them to the town or county to convince the rich families to buy them.
The grapes were sweeter than other people’s grapes, and there weren’t many grapes sold around. No matter what, those wealthy families would want to buy them when they saw them.
Especially the red grapes. Even if they were sold at a much higher price than other grapes, those rich families were willing to buy them. Moreover, they would buy a lot of them. They did not lack the money. It would be considered a small amount of money.
Moreover, grapes were extremely durable to store and transport. If this was the first year the family had planted them, and that there weren’t many grapes on each tree, it wouldn’t be enough to supply the town and the county. Otherwise, Xue Sifu would have used a carriage to send them to a farther place to sell them to more people.
June 14th was Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu’s last day off. They had to return to the military camp.
On this day, Xue Sifu happened to be at home, so he sent Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu off.
They said their goodbyes at the village entrance.
Xue Wufu burst into tears once again, causing Liu Guixia to cry uncontrollably. Liu Guixia’s tears only stopped when Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu rode away.
When they were walking back, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu stayed at the back.
“Shouldn’t we collect the cumin soon?” Xue Sifu asked as he walked back. “I heard from Erfu that the branches and leaves have turned yellow and the stems have turned white, but the seeds on them are getting big.”
The charcoal grill shop was ready. There were some small tables for two to four people. They could even put these small tables together to form a big table. They were just waiting for the cumin powder to ripen.
Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue.
“It’s time,” Jiang Yue said.
“How do we collect them? Is it like rapeseed, where you use a sickle to cut the plant and use a flail to shred it?”
Jiang Yue said, “This plant isn’t as tall as the rapeseed. We should be able to uproot it without using a sickle. We should shake the soil off the roots and tie them into bundles. Then, we can pick them back and put them in the paddy field to dry. After two or three days, they should be able to be ground and peeled. ”
“The people hired by the family helped pick the grapes, blueberries, and tomatoes. When they’re done, we can ask them to help pick this.”
The blueberries have all been harvested. Blueberries were sweet and sour. It had soft flesh and a refreshing fragrance. They were also very popular and many people bought them.
When Xue Dafu and the others heard Jiang Yue’s words, they turned around and smiled.
That afternoon, Jiang Yue did not go to the old house with Xue Yan to practice martial arts. Instead, she went with her family and hired people to collect the cumin.
They uprooted them one by one and shook off the soil on them.
Because the weather was hot, they were afraid that Jiang Yue would get a heat stroke. Liu Guixia and the others could not persuade Jiang Yue to take a rest, so they insisted that Jiang Yue wear a straw hat to hide away from the sunlight as much as possible.
In Changyu… Prince Yi was lying on a bed in one of the rooms in the most secluded courtyard of the Northern General’s mansion. He was coughing non-stop, and his body was shivering in pain.
The blanket was slowly pulled away.
Next to him, a few basins of ice from the ice cellar were also moved over and placed by the bed..
