The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Chapter 495 Rush back to Banpo Village

next day

Yan Shu, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai, escorted by Wuming and others, left Xinyang Mansion in a carriage.

They met Liu Hanyue's carriage outside the city gate, and a convoy of dozens of people headed toward Peixian County.

Yan Huai glanced at the carriage of Liu Hanyue and others: "Little sister, is Liu Hanyue sitting in that carriage?"

Yan Shu explained: "The potatoes on the mountain are ripe. I want to promote potato planting in Xinyang Prefecture on a large scale, so I made an appointment with Liu Hanyue in advance to bring him to see it when the harvest is harvested. It happened to be in time for my eldest brother's wedding, and he also wanted to Come here to join in the fun and choose to go back with us today."

Yan Wen nodded clearly: "After all, we have some communication with him. Since he is coming to attend Xueer and I's wedding, we can just treat him as a distinguished guest."

Near noon

The group passed through the small town at the foot of the mountain and headed towards the foot of the Qilian Mountains.

The weather was extremely hot, and the green trees were listless due to the sun. The sun was like a huge fireball hanging in the sky, scorching the earth. Heat waves in the air rushed towards the face, as if it was about to burn people at any time.

Yan Wu wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve: "It's so hot sitting in a carriage, why don't you stay outside in the sun? Wuming and the others must have suffered more than us while riding horses. They should finish drinking the water bags they carry." ?”

Yan Wen sighed softly: "This year's weather is simply worse than last year. It looks like we are going to experience another famine year."

Yan Wen knew very well that they could live a life without worrying about food and drink because of Jiang Ci and his little sister, but the millions of refugees who escaped from the north were not so lucky. Although Xinyang Prefecture accepted millions of refugees , and even provided accommodation for this group of refugees. Xinyang Mansion also experienced an obvious water shortage this year. Even if everyone is more or less allocated fields, no crops can grow without rainwater.

My sister wants to promote potato cultivation on a large scale, which is great news for the people of Xinyang Prefecture.

Yan Shu said softly: "A wise man once said that if you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. Now our ability can only take care of ourselves. When we are strong enough in the future, we can protect the people of a place, so no matter who it is, we can only take care of ourselves. We just have to do our best and have no regrets."

Yan Huai's eyes showed a glimmer of light: "What this wise man said is really great wisdom."

Yan Wen also smiled and said: "A wise man is indeed a wise man. A short sentence can make people feel relieved instantly."

Yan Shu smiled, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, then turned back to Yan Wen: "Brother, I see there are some big trees on the roadside in front of me. I'm worried that Wuming and the others are having a horse-riding meeting outside. (ye), let's Let’s rest for a while under the big tree over there.”

"That's fine. We have enough time. I think everyone is hungry. It's not too late to eat something and rest for a while before we are on our way."

Yan Shu ordered Ah Fu who was driving the car: "Ah Fu, tell Wuming and the others to go under the big tree in front to repair for a while."

"Okay ma'am!"

Nanzhi, who was following behind, saw Yan Shu and others stop, and she immediately turned her horse around and came to the front of Liu Hanyue's carriage.

"Master, the Yan family's carriage has stopped."

"Well, follow me."

"Yes!"

The people on Yan Shu's side stopped under the shade of the tree. She took out a large bucket of sour plum juice that had been brewed in advance. She added ice cubes to it in the morning to cool down. When the bucket was taken out, a cool feeling hit her face.

Yan Wu was so surprised that he lowered his voice and asked softly: "Little sister, what is this?"

"I made sour plum juice last night while you were working in the fields. I thought it was going to be hot on the road today, so I prepared a bucket of iced sour plum juice to relieve the heat."

"That's great. We are both hot and thirsty right now. This iced plum juice made by my little sister is so timely."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Carry the bucket down, and let everyone come over with the water bag to share."

"Okay, I'll carry it!"

Yan Wu took the initiative to pick up a large bucket full of sour plum juice and got out of the carriage. Ah Fu and Wuming, a dozen people, saw Yan Wu carrying a wooden bucket out of the carriage, and they all gathered around curiously.

"Brother Yan Wu, what's that dark thing in this bucket?"

Yan Wu chuckled: "This is the sour plum juice that my little sister has been busy brewing all morning. Please bring the empty water bag over and put some in it to taste."

Wuming was the first to take off the water bag hanging from his waist.

"What Miss Yan makes will definitely be good. I'll do it first."

Yan Wu used a bamboo spoon to scoop up two spoonfuls of sour plum juice, poured it into the water bag, and handed it to Wuming.

"Have a taste."

Wuming stretched out his hand to take the water bag, and instantly felt a cool touch. He couldn't wait to raise his head and took a big sip. The taste in his mouth was sour and sweet, cold and refreshing, and the heat all over his body disappeared in an instant.

Ah Fu, who was standing next to Wuming, licked his chapped lips: "Does it taste so good? Give me some, too."

"I want me too!"

Seeing Wuming just drinking sour plum juice without saying a word, everyone else knew that the taste of this stuff was definitely the same.

"Come one by one, don't worry, there are so many, everyone has a share."

Yan Shu, Yan Wen, and Yan Huai also stepped forward to help. Soon the water bags of more than a dozen people were filled, and there was still half a bucket of sour plum juice left in the bucket.

Liu Hanyue, who was not far away, glanced at them and walked over curiously.

"What new gadget did sister make again?"

When he walked to Yan Shu's side, his peach blossom eyes glanced curiously into the barrel.

The water in the barrel was dark, like the concoction he usually drank until he vomited, and it was off-putting just by looking at it.

Liu Hanyue turned her face away in disgust. Yan Shu was holding the water bag and drank a few sips of sour plum juice, and glanced at Liu Hanyue.

"You came just in time. Do you want to try this? It's very refreshing."

"Is it medicinal soup?"

"That's right, a lot of herbs are added to it, but it tastes pretty good."

Upon hearing the word "herbal medicine", Liu Hanyue immediately shook her head: "I'm not thirsty."

Seeing Liu Hanyue's refusal, Yan Shu didn't force him to have a taste. This yandere was not someone who would wrong him. There were so many good things on his carriage, so it was normal for him to look down on his own sour plum juice.

So she called to Nanzhi beside her: "Nanzhi, would you like to try it?"

Nanzhi glanced at the Yan brothers, Wuming and others, and saw that their expressions did not look like they were drinking medicine, so he walked forward with a smile.

"Then there's Miss Lao Yan."

Nanzhi took off the water bag hanging from her waist. There was still a little water in it. She couldn't bear to throw it away, so she drank it all and handed the empty water bag to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu filled her water bag with a bamboo tube and handed it to her. Nanzhi took it and couldn't wait to take a sip.

The moment the cool and sweet sour plum juice entered her mouth, a look of surprise appeared on her little face.

"Miss Yan, this thing looks like a soup. Why does it taste sweet and sour? What herbs did you add to it?"

Yan Shu smiled and said: "The taste is sour and sweet because it contains a lot of hawthorn and rock sugar. In addition, it also contains black plum, fried malt, tangerine peel, licorice, and perilla. There is still half a barrel here. If you like it, you can share it. .”

Nanzhi laughed naively: "How can this be so embarrassing?"
