Chapter 135 Harvest
Yun Zhen accepted his daughter's suggestion and began to build a large-scale project on the Yun family farm.
There is an oil mill and a wine mill, and the houses built before are not enough.
Dad Yun didn't want to waste the fertile land that his family had already cultivated, so he spent some money to buy some wasteland around Yunjiazhuang and built a house on the wasteland.
Yun Xi taught Yun Zhen the method of brewing wine, and took him step by step through the brewing process of various types of wine, and then became a hands-off boss.
All the newly added businesses of the Yun family were in Yun Xi's name. In her father's words, "Just think of it as your dowry. I never thought of marrying you to a wealthy family before, so I didn't prepare enough dowry."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Dad has given me everything he can."
Yun Zhen shook his head, "Not enough. I used to think that since there were only the two of us at home, it would be enough for us to earn enough money to spend, so that you would have enough food and clothes and not have to worry about making a living. Now, the situation is different. Dad is not too old, and I can still fight for you and the children."
Yun Xi hugged his arm and acted coquettishly: "Thank you, Daddy, Daddy is the best."
"As long as you know."
Yun Xi now owned an oil mill, a winery and a small estate.
She said to Yun Dad, "When my fish and shrimp are well-farmed, we'll open a restaurant. Dad, I've figured out a lot of cooking methods. When the time comes, we'll hire a few chefs and we'll produce and sell our own food. We'll sell the food we raise ourselves."
"Okay. Listen to you."
Yun Zhen agreed with a smile, and was thinking in his heart, his daughter had enclosed wasteland to raise fish and shrimp, and he bought wasteland to build a house. Next, could he buy some more wasteland to raise chickens?
Once a person's brain becomes active, it will become more and more active. Yun Zhen is a good example.
Without Yun Xi knowing, the old man had already started to learn from his experience and started his own business.
When the Lesser Heat arrived, the crops that Yun Xi planted in the Mu family manor began to mature.
Mu Xuan went there every now and then and brought back some of each and handed them to Yun Xi.
He pointed at peanuts, corn and cucumbers and said, "I have fed these to pigs on the farm. They are very happy to eat them and they are fine after eating them. Pigs don't eat the other two."
The other two are chili and cumin.
Yun Xi thought to herself, this person is quite cautious.
She smiled and said, "The merchant told me about those two. They are a kind of seasoning. If you add a little when cooking, it will have a different flavor. Let me try it."
So, she asked the kitchen to cook corn and salted peanuts, and to make a cold cucumber salad, and to make barbecue with chili peppers and cumin. The whole family was amazed and praised these new things. Mu Jinyan's barbecue did not have chili peppers, but only cumin.
The cooking method of grilling has existed since ancient times. Although the kitchen utensils and species here are not very rich, everyone has eaten a lot of barbecue and has accepted it well.
The old lady sighed, "After adding chili and cumin, it really tastes better. And I sweat all over after eating it, which can expel the dampness and coldness accumulated in the body. But I'm afraid I can't eat too much, otherwise I will get a sore throat."
Yun Xi agreed: "What mother said makes sense."
Doesn't it make sense? It really fits the saying: people become wiser with age. The old lady ate it for the first time, and based on her experience and instinct, she was able to tell the functions and consequences of chili peppers.
The salted peanuts were highly praised by the old general. For those who love to drink, this is a good dish to go with wine.
In fact, the peanuts are not full enough yet, and there are still more than ten days before the actual harvest. The corn also needs to grow a little longer. It is suitable to eat boiled corn now, but if you really want to dry it and grind it into powder, or make it into seeds, it is still a little bit difficult.
She planted it at the Yun family farm a month later than this.
Mu Sheng had told the old general and Mu Xuan long ago that Yun Xi had planted a lot in the Yun family manor, and was waiting to have Yun's father present them to the emperor after the harvest in order to change the status of the Yun family.
The old general stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"As she should, the seeds were taken out by Yun Xi. This is her chance. Moreover, she is so young, but she knows how to plan for herself. This is a good thing."
The old general actually thought about presenting it now, and his excitement was a little out of control. However, since Yun Xi had her own plans, he was not the kind of person who wanted to take credit, so he decided to wait.
He advised: "Let's eat less and try to save more seeds so that we can promote it faster."
The old lady followed with emotion and said, "Yun Xi is a promising woman, much better than I thought before. Our Mu family is lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law."
She had thought that she would have to spend time and energy to teach him well, but she didn't expect him to adapt so quickly! She didn't have to worry about anything at all. A small family could raise such a child, and their family just happened to catch up. Isn't that good luck?
The old lady asked Mu Xuan again: "When do you plan to get married? What kind of girl do you want to see? Just tell me first and I'll keep an eye on it for you. Don't be impatient. If you keep putting it off, you'll lose popularity. Those girls in their prime years are choosing young men, so who would choose you? Although you're also getting married for the first time, you're older."
Mu Xuan didn't care, "My eldest brother won't get married until he's 26. I plan to wait until I'm the same age as him."
Old lady: "Go away."
Your eldest brother got married at 22, the same age as you are now, but unfortunately he became a widow and remarried at 26. Can he be the same as you?
But she didn't want to say this, as she felt that saying it would be an insult to Yun Xi. The child was quite good, and she could make everyone ignore her identity as a second wife. Besides, a second wife was also the principal wife, and would be the head of the Mu family in the future. Who would dare to look down on her?
"Hey."
Mu Xuan retreated quickly.
The old lady also reminded Mu Sheng: "Yun Xi is a good person, you must treat her well. Being a woman is not easy, and it is even more difficult for her to marry you and become a stepmother at such a young age."
"I understand, mother."
