Chapter 31: Rare Resources

"Little lady, where is this, I am also to blame for this matter, and I have wronged you."

Due to the rain these days, the weather at night is still a little cold, but it is much more comfortable to sit in the carriage without having to walk by yourself.

Li Xiuqi, who was resting in the Cloud Restaurant at this moment, knew the news of Chu Xinyun's successful escape for the first time, and couldn't help laughing: "This little lady is blessed, and this matter is thanks to Xiao Kill, otherwise there is really nothing to do." ”

"Young master, the spies just came to report, saying that someone had bribed a nearby resident to go to the yamen to put pressure, and his subordinates ordered someone to track them down, but those two people were very good, and one ran away without paying attention."

Li Xiuqi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Even you can't catch up?" That's not easy. ”

"Don't continue the investigation yet, since people don't want to show up, it's useless for us to investigate, send someone to the capital to convey the news, let them start the investigation, I always feel that this person's identity is not simple...."

"Yes!"

The carriage stopped at the door of the Yunjian Restaurant, it was already night, and the restaurant was already closed, but the shopkeeper Xu prepared a banquet in the back kitchen and said that it was for her to wash the dust.

Chu Xinyun didn't refuse his kindness, he hadn't eaten anything since the afternoon, and now it's almost midnight, and his stomach is already hungry.

The shopkeeper Xu specially ordered someone to prepare a brazier and grapefruit bark, and he was reborn when he stepped over the brazier, and he was beating it with grapefruit peel to get rid of bad luck, and everyone went to the back kitchen to eat.

The meals prepared by Shopkeeper Xu are all the signature dishes of Yunjian Restaurant, and according to the daily meal, it will cost at least dozens of taels of silver to eat at this table.

This time it's all free, which makes Chu Xinyun very embarrassed.

She took the initiative to mention that she would reduce the price of sweet potatoes and supply more to the restaurant every day, and she also repaid Xu Xuejie for doing her best at that time.

Shopkeeper Xu refused: "If I can increase the supply, I can accept it, as for the price, there is no need to reduce it, the cost is not high, and I still have money here." ”

Chu Xinyun sighed, he really met a good person!

During the meal, today's events were mentioned again, and this time it was not a small fight like last time, and it was directly used in the name of the government...... Chu Xinyun couldn't help but doubt the true identity of this shopkeeper Chen.

At the same time, the back hall of the Yunlai Inn was still lit up, and Cai Xuejiao looked at the account book of this period of time with a gloomy face, and the red numbers on it made his brain a little dizzy!

I thought that with the support of Mr. Chen, the customer flow would naturally return after he reopened the store, but it has been almost a month, and the business is getting worse day by day.

The first thing that people in the town think of when they eat is Yunjian Restaurant, which is cheap and delicious, but they completely forget about Yunlai Inn....

He also heard that Yunjian Restaurant was going to expand the back into guest rooms, and then his only advantage would be gone!

As soon as he thought of this, he was so angry that he thought that he hadn't offended this old man much on weekdays, why did he want to fix himself to death?

Behind the scenes of sending people to make trouble before, Shopkeeper Chen was also in charge, and he just came up with an idea.

He closed the ledger fiercely, and lay on his back on the recliner with a huff, out of sight and out of mind.

But he closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to find a time tomorrow to meet the shopkeeper Chen.

Thinking about his current predicament, only he has a way to solve it.

After the shopkeeper Xu was full, he sent a carriage to send the two to the door of the house, and even if Chu Xin decided to send him more sweet potatoes tomorrow, there were still a few hundred catties of seeds left at home, and it would be enough for the restaurant to consume for a long time at once.

But what worries her is that Xiao Shu's condition is serious again!

When she was eating in the restaurant before, she saw that he was not in a good state, and as soon as he arrived at home, he weakly held on to the table and staggered to sit down.

Chu Xinyun immediately didn't care about whether men and women gave or received kisses, and when he untied his clothes, he saw that the wounds that had finally scabbed had all been cracked, and the dark red blood soaked his underwear!

Xiao Shu also seemed to know that he was in trouble, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Let her bring the medicine powder to medicate herself, and she didn't say a word from the cold sweat on her painful forehead.

Chu Xinyun wanted to complain to him a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner: "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay._It's fine."

Listening to his stuttering appearance, she sighed and asked, "Did you think of anything again in the court today?"

“..” Xiao Shuwei's body was stunned, and his eyes flashed slightly.

At the moment when he saw the corpse, a lot of very unfamiliar images somehow appeared in his mind, the people in the picture raised their swords with cold expressions, the horses neighed and their hands fell, and the blood and human heads fell to the ground.....

Could this be the old self? Before.. What kind of person is it......

Seeing that he refused to explain that Chu Xinyun had no intention of persecution, she actually knew the identity of Xiao Kill, so she was also prepared for the worst.

He did so much to save himself regardless of his injuries, and she couldn't have given up on him alone.

After a night of silence, Chu Xinyun felt sleepy as soon as he got to bed, and when he woke up in a daze, it was already dawn.

"Hey! Is there anyone at home? Hey!"

As soon as Chu Xinyun got up to wash, she heard someone knocking on the door, she cautiously approached the crack in the door and found that it was Xiao Qi, and couldn't help but open the door with a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing so early today?"

Li Xiuqi laughed dryly: "Isn't it okay for me to do at home, by the way, have you dealt with yesterday's affairs?" I heard that you were arrested, so I was so scared that I quickly went to the shopkeeper for help, are you okay?"

"Nothing, it's all settled."

"Well, what are we going to do today?"

Looking at his shiny white teeth, Chu Xinyun rolled his eyes: "What else can you do, naturally go to the ground." ”

"Down again?!" Li Xiuqi only felt that his heart and lungs had been stabbed hard.

Chu Xinyun said angrily: "Xiao Shu's injury has worsened again, the sweet potatoes in my field are guaranteed to be harvested in the second half of the year, so naturally you have to be careful, otherwise you will give me silver?"

Li Xiuqi looked melancholy, how much he wanted to say that silver was a trivial matter now, but his current identity would only be regarded as bragging.

Let's farm honestly!

thought that he could hold on through gritting his teeth, but after three days of busy work, he felt that he was about to collapse!

Shopkeeper Xu looked ashamed, and while helping him press his leg, he proposed, "Why don't I talk to the little lady and call you back?"

Li Xiuqi struggled to get up from the bed and refused: "Aren't you going back on your word?" This little lady's brain is very good, maybe we can still use it in the future, and we can't be offended so easily. ”

Shopkeeper Xu said yes again and again, and asked, "Then young master, you go every day like this, farming?"

At this time, Li Xiuqi's reaction was even greater, and he said angrily: "Just kidding, Lao Xu, when have I ever done such rough work with my hands?" Is it good for me to touch the silver with this hand?"

"Young Master Ben means to let you find a more appropriate reason! Think about it!"

"Yes, yes, little one!"

The next day, Shopkeeper Xu went to find Chu Xinyun and told Xiao Qi that someone from his hometown called him to go back and get married, and he might not be able to come in the future.

Chu Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she still wished that this guy wouldn't come!

Not to mention being lazy in his daily work, he eats a lot, and he can't make a lot of money by selling sweet potatoes every day, but he asks for the quality of food from time to time, and he spends a lot of money.

But she didn't show it on the surface, and said enthusiastically: "Since it is the words of the parents' order matchmaker, I don't have anything to do here at the moment, so you can let him go back quickly, don't delay others." ”

In order to show her sincerity, she also gave two taels of silver red money, which is considered a piece of her heart.

Li Xiuqi, who had already eaten and drunk enough in the restaurant, took the purse handed by the shopkeeper Xu and said disdainfully: "Two taels of silver, what about sending it to Huazi?" If I, Li Xiuqi, want to get married, who would dare to enter the door without a few thousand taels of silver and red money?"

Although he said this, he still put his purse into his arms, and called the shopkeeper Xu who was on standby embarrassed.

After Li Xiuqi left, Chu Xinyun and Xiao Shu temporarily moved back to Chujia Village, so it was more convenient to serve sweet potatoes.

On this day, Aunt Wang brought her fresh melons and fruits from her own production, and Chu Xinyun saw that there were many of them, so she wanted to pickle some kimchi, which was a good choice for stewing or porridge on weekdays.

But she found that the peppers on the market are only sweet and spicy, and she can't find authentic red peppers at all.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she can only delay it first.

Ten days later, Xiao Shu's injuries were almost healed, and Chu Xinyun proposed not to go to Zhao Houshan to take a look.

I have been dealing with sweet potatoes for more than a month, and I have forgotten everything about entering the mountain.

Now in the summer, maybe you can find some fruits in the back mountain, if you can bring them back and transplant them, wouldn't you have added a new livelihood?

You must know that the prices of fruits and sugar in this era are not too much, and they are all rare resources.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help urging Xiao to kill, and the two of them carried the basket into the mountain after lunch.

There are not many changes in the mountains, but there are more or less traces of man-made, and it is estimated that villagers from nearby villages came into the mountains to try their luck.

Along the way, Xiao Kill also shot two pheasants, and it seems that the resources in this are almost empty.

Just when Chu Xinyun was disappointed and about to return, he accidentally found bunches of black fruits hanging down behind a forest.

"What's that?" She leaned over curiously, and saw the vines and diamond-shaped green leaves that were entwined everywhere, and Chu Xinyun was very excited to see this familiar scene!

Isn't this the grape of the previous life?

She hurriedly went up and picked a bunch of black grapes, picked one first and tasted it, and as soon as it entered her mouth, it was a sour taste, and she hurriedly spit it out.

"Phew, why are these grapes so sour!" Chu Xinyun covered his face in disbelief.

It stands to reason that this wild grape should be sweet and sour, how can it become so sour and difficult to eat here?

No wonder this grape is so well preserved.... Co-authored because it's too unpalatable and no animal wants to eat it?

But this is not difficult for her, when she was in her hometown, she saw a lot of people buy some grapes with low sugar content to make wine, after fermentation of the wine is soft in the mouth, the green with added sugar is also a little sweet, it can be said that it is the best choice for the party.

Once she had made up her mind, she began to check the number of wild grapes, and since she was going to make wine, there must be more.

Following the clues, she found a large vineyard behind her, and large and small bunches pressed the vines low.

Chu Xinyun is very pleased, now he can finally make a living!

A new type of liquor, like wine, is both healthy and delicious, and can be drunk by both men and women, so it will surely be sought after by everyone.

She immediately beckoned Xiao Shu to come and pick grapes, and it was not clear how much wine could be produced from this wild grape, so she had to prepare more.
