The old man sighed and did not speak, and the Li family understood when he saw this.

Last time, their family had a conflict with the Zhou family, which alarmed the people of a village, and the Zhou family lost money for the sake of face, but they were not happy in their hearts, so this time they did not let their family collect sorghum.

Li was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it well on his face, which made the old man and his family worried.

After breakfast, Jiang Xi returned to the room, saw Li hiding alone in the room and secretly wiped her tears, and noticed her coming in, Li quickly put away his expression, Jiang Xi also mentioned the matter of picking wild grapes with Li as if he hadn't found anything.

Last time, many of the wild grapes on the back mountain were not yet ripe, and Jiangxi guessed that this should be better, and proposed to let Li go with her.

The sun in the morning is not too strong, walking on the top of the mountain, I don't feel how hot, plus a cool breeze hits, Jiangxi is even more satisfied to run around the mountain with open arms.

Finally arrived at the back mountain, and there were still some wild grapes on the mountain, and Li Shi said solemnly while picking them: "Xi'er, this thing can really make wine?" I don't think it's a bit hanging, if I don't get anything, won't our family's previous money be spent in vain? ”

On the way up the mountain, Li kept thinking about it.

It cost a lot of money to buy jars and sugar, and they could only earn a tael of silver in the Shen family in total, and they went to a penny here, if they couldn't get the wine in Jiangxikou, what should they do with the rest of the family?

The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, and even when I picked the grapes, I didn't seem to be energetic.

Jiang Xi knew that the Li family was distressed about the silver, but there was no way to get the harvest for this kind of effort.

"Mother, the things have been bought, don't worry about it anymore. I believe that our wine will be able to be brewed! ”

"Hopefully."

Taking advantage of this homecoming, Jiangxi almost picked all the wild grapes in the mountains, washed them all and put them in the jar to ferment.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Xi and the others successfully got the remaining eight coins of silver from Shen Yuanwai's house.

Before they left, Steward Shen stopped them and said two words, which seemed to mean that he wanted them to stay here.

The Li family, who was worried about the lack of money at home, was about to respond, but Jiang Xi rejected it first.

"Uncle housekeeper, I know the kindness of you and the master, but there are still some things in our family. Besides, now that the craftsmen are gone, there are really not so many people in the kitchen, if the master wants to eat those Sichuan dishes, we also taught the kitchen ladies some dishes, if it is really not good, you can come to my house to find us again. ”

After leaving the Shen family and leaving the town, Li asked Jiangxi with doubts.

"Xi'er, why did you refuse just now, our family needs that money now."

If it weren't for what Jiang Xi had shown in the past two months, the Li family would have completely handed over this family to her with confidence, and the Li family would not have refused what Jiang Xi said just now.

Jiang Xi naturally has her own thoughts in her heart, the current wine at home is about to be brewed, the last time she went back, there was a big smell of wine in it, and now the focus of their family will naturally shift to the matter of selling wine.

Moreover, the time to sow wheat was approaching, and she also wanted to use the money from the sale of wine to buy some land for her family.

In these years, only with land can it be considered as a guarantee.
