Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 243: Making Herbal Tea

Soon, everyone arrived at the back mountain.

A'er and Daniu were responsible for cutting down trees, while Anyue and Chunzhi cut the bamboo into appropriate lengths.

Everyone was busy with their own work, but everyone worked together and was working enthusiastically.

……

More than an hour passed.

Daniu and Ale cut down more than a dozen large trees and prepared to remove all the branches from the trunks one by one.

An Yue and Chun Zhi also cut more than a hundred bamboos and began to remove the bamboo branches.

Gu Mingchuan initially tried to help Daniu and Ale, but he had no knives.

Later, he was about to go to An Yue to help, but was rejected by An Yue.

He felt he couldn't help, so he had to pick up firewood with his backpack.

It’s not that An Yue always dislikes him, it’s mainly because An Yue knows the reason why he followed her from the county town.

It was almost noon when several people finished removing all the tree branches and bamboo twigs.

After the bundles were tied, everyone began to slowly carry them home.

Among the few people, An Yue was the smallest, so this time Gu Mingchuan insisted on helping to carry it.

An Yue saw that he was very serious and did not refuse.

Da Niu and Gu Mingchuan carried the tree trunks, Chunzhi and A'er carried large bundles of bamboo, and Anyue carried firewood sticks in a backpack, and started walking towards home.

After returning home, everyone went to the main hall to drink a bowl of water.

Chunzhi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, the four of us will go and carry the tree trunks and bamboos back from the mountain. You will have to stay at home and cook lunch."

An Yue took off her apron, patted the dead branches and leaves on her body and said, "Well, go ahead! But the mountain road is uneven, you have to be more careful."

"Don't worry, miss! I...I, Da Niu, am here." Da Niu said, patting his chest with a silly smile.

Gu Mingchuan followed behind with a look of despair on his face, and the four of them walked towards the back mountain in a group.

After drinking the water, An Yue tied her apron again and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as An Yue entered the kitchen, she skillfully lit the fire, washed the pot, cut vegetables, fried food, and cooked rice. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Half an hour passed.

Chunzhi, Daniu and four others carried the tree trunks and bamboos and ran back and forth three times.

An Yue in the kitchen had already prepared a delicious lunch.

She brought all the food to the eight-immortal table and placed them on the table covered.

Then he took a wooden basin to the kitchen, filled two basins with clean water and placed them on the bluestone slabs in the yard.

An Yue then sat down and waited for them to come back to wash their hands and have their meal.

At this time, the scorching sun at noon was making people feel uneasy.

An Yue was sitting in the main hall fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, when suddenly she thought of making some herbal tea to cool off.

So she put down the palm-leaf fan in her hand, picked up the bamboo basket and walked quickly towards the gate of the yard.

Coming to the open space at the gate of the yard, she squatted down and began picking mint leaves.

She planned to pick the mint leaves, wash them, mix them with honeysuckle, boil them in water, and then let them cool.

Before long, An Yue had picked enough mint leaves.

She stood up, picked up the basket and walked into the yard.

After returning to the kitchen, An Yue washed the mint leaves.

Then he went to the west wing room, took out the freshly dried honeysuckle, took out an appropriate amount of honeysuckle, and put it into the pot together with the mint leaves.

Add a basin of water to the pot and bring to a boil.

After a while, the herbal tea was ready.

An Yue poured the cooked herbal tea into a ceramic basin and waited for it to cool naturally.

At this time, Da Niu, Chunzhi and three others walked into the yard.

An Yue walked out of the kitchen and said to everyone, "Everyone, wash your hands and have lunch. Before the lunch break, everyone come and have a bowl of cool and thirst-quenching herbal tea."

Chunzhi took off her apron, brushed off the dust on her body, and said coquettishly, "Miss is so kind."

Ale wiped the sweat off his neck and continued with a smile: "I, Ale, am really enlightened today. I never thought in my life that I could eat the food prepared by the master for the servants."

"Yes! The three of us are all lucky people." Chunzhi washed her hands, turned around and responded to Ale with a smile.

After everyone washed their hands, they went to the main hall to have lunch.

……

After lunch, clean up everything.

Everyone drank a bowl of herbal tea and prepared to go back to their rooms for a nap.

After seeing everyone return to their rooms, Gu Mingchuan walked up to An Yue, pointed to the east side room and said, "Miss An Yue, there are bugs in this... this room..."

An Yue waved a palm-leaf fan and said with a smile, "Sir, you are a brave warrior with a sword in hand, could it be that you are afraid of these silkworms that don't bite?"

"They don't bite, but the way they twist their bodies around is really creepy." As Gu Mingchuan said this, his brows were twisted like two earthworms.

Gu Mingchuan did not go to the east ear room. An Yue thought that he had helped a lot today and he was very tired this morning.

An Yue changed her mind and felt that with his help in building the house, it would be much easier for her.

So, he was allowed to take a nap in An Nian's room.

An Yue returned to her room and faintly smelled the fragrance of roses.

She walked to the south window, looked at her farmyard, and couldn't help but smile.

Then she slowly closed the window, walked to the bed, unbuttoned her outer clothes and slowly lay down.

She planned in her mind that after building Ale Daniu's room, she would go to the county town again with honey and floral water.

When the time comes, I’ll go and see how the sales in the Fragrance Pavilion are doing.

I promised the clerk's wife that I would send honey and floral water to her shop.

Since Gu Mingchuan insisted on staying, An Yue planned to let him stay to help.

With his help, the family had an extra pair of hands. And since there was bamboo at home, I could stay at home and start to study how to make a frame for the silkworms to make cocoons.

An Yue turned over in bed, and she didn't know when her eyes had closed.

A few quarters of an hour later.

Everyone woke up, sat in the main hall to refresh themselves, and drank a bowl of herbal tea.

Gu Mingchuan also got up.

After a while, everyone started preparing to go to the back mountain.

An Yue woke up and found that no one was home.

She walked to the main hall, drank half a bowl of cold tea, and fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan while carefully thinking about the dream she had just had.

The scene in the dream was chaotic, and I felt like I had suddenly returned to the 21st century.

But from my fragmentary impressions, it seems that I did not successfully return to the 21st century, but continued to live in this era, and I even had the impression that I had become a rich woman.

An Yue leaned on the eight-immortals table and couldn't help laughing.

She stood up and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "I am really crazy about money! I really want to be a rich woman, but it's not that easy!"

As she spoke, she put down her palm-leaf fan, tied on an apron and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The puppy named Ba Shi, who was lying under the eaves, saw An Yue getting ready to go out. It stood up and followed behind An Yue happily.

An Yue was going to go outside the yard, pull a few bamboos that she had just brought back, and start making a frame for the silkworms to make cocoons.

An Yue divided the long bamboo into thin bamboo strips, and then tied the strips to the bamboo poles with thin bamboo threads.
