Chapter 160: Give everyone brown sugar
After taking out these brown sugars, the stock in her space was cleared out, so she could only wait until tomorrow to update it again.
He got off the carriage carrying a large bag, took out a large bag of fruit candies, handed it to a girl who looked older, and asked her to share it with others.
As for the brown sugar, Yuxiu decided to give a bag to each family.
It happened that those people had been busy for half a day and were tired. While they were sitting by the field to rest, Yuxiu handed the package to Boss Yang and asked him to take it and distribute it to them.
Yang Lao Da's wife Miao, Bao Laogen's eldest daughter-in-law, and several other women were responsible for boiling water and cooking.
Everyone was taking a break at this time, so they hurriedly carried a few large wooden barrels to the edge of the field. The barrels contained boiled water that had been cooled, with a few grains of salt in it, making it somewhat salty.
"Thank you, Miss. This brown sugar is really good. We can't remember how long it has been since we last had sugar water..."
Everyone held the brown sugar in their hands and thanked Yuxiu gratefully.
Especially these women, they know the benefits of brown sugar best, but they have no choice but to accept that it is very expensive and often sold out.
Even before fleeing the famine, they would weigh out two taels of rice and take it out to make tea when guests came to their home. On weekdays, even if the adults and children were very greedy, they would not be willing to take it out.
If there is a woman among your relatives or friends who is about to give birth or is in confinement after childbirth, giving her half a pound of brown sugar would be an even greater gift and would be remembered for a long time.
No one had expected that now that they had come this far, they would be able to encounter such a good thing as the Xu family.
Not only did he say he would build them a house, but he also gave them pound after pound of brown sugar. Isn't that really too good for them?
Everyone was grateful that they had met a good boss, and they would definitely help the boss to grow crops and harvest more crops in the future.
Yuxiu didn't think so much about it. She comforted everyone and said that she had sent some piglets and chickens over today and asked them to raise them well so that everyone would be able to eat pork in the future.
When they heard that they were asked to help raise pigs, everyone's eyes lit up and they promised again and again that they would do their job well and fatten the piglets as soon as possible.
Xu Qinghe and his companions had already finished their work. From the indescribable looks in the eyes of the Yang brothers, Yuxiu understood how unbelievable this matter was.
Xu Qinghe explained a few more things about farming, then took Yuxiu on the carriage. The two of them were going to another farm.
Yang Laoer had already brought a horse over and was riding ahead.
"Before he fled from the famine, your Second Uncle Yang helped others slaughter pigs and sell meat. He is very efficient at his work. I plan to let him do this alone."
Even though Xu Qinghe didn't explain it clearly, Yuxiu quickly understood what he meant.
Although sterilizing piglets is not considered a technical skill, in ancient times when information was blocked, people tended to hide any good things they had.
If you live in the countryside, having such a skill, no matter how humble it is, can still become a unique skill for a person to make a living.
"Dad, you can make the decision yourself. Your daughter has no objection."
Yuxiu said that she would listen to her father's words. Seeing that Yang Laoer had already ridden away on his horse, the two of them hurriedly drove the carriage to follow him.
The next thing was very simple. Xu Qinghe took Yang Laoer to the pigpen again and processed all the piglets there. Then Yuxiu took down several large bags of brown sugar and distributed one to every household.
These were all exchanged by her from the system space. Although brown sugar is a very scarce good thing here, it is an extremely common thing in other places, such as in modern times.
After a busy period, when Yuxiu and Xu Qinghe returned home again, they felt a little tired.
"After we go to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow, you should all take a good rest. Look how tired you are..."
Cui handed each of them a cup of hot water, her eyes full of heartache.
She is pregnant now, so she can help by protecting herself and not causing trouble to others. As for other things, she can't do much.
"Don't worry, mother, we are not tired. Besides, everything has been arranged on the farm, and there is nothing to worry about. We can just let Zhang Dazhu go over and take a look."
"My daughter has been tired these days, but I am not tired at all. On the contrary, looking at such a large piece of fertile land, I can't help but feel excited..."
Xu Qinghe really didn't feel that tired. The days he spent in Xujia Village in the past were like one in heaven and one on earth.
"Mother, I heard that there is a caravan in the capital that specializes in delivering letters. Now that the drought in the south has eased, there are fewer refugees outside. Why not ask grandma and her family to come over as well?"
Yuxiu looked at her mother's belly which had grown bigger and felt anxious.
She was delivering a baby outside Phoenix that day. Although nothing seemed to happen to her on the surface, she was still scared for a long time afterwards.
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times when medical technology is very advanced, for a woman to give birth is like stepping into the gates of hell.
Not to mention that Cui is now an elderly mother and is pregnant with twins. Even though she has drunk the spiritual spring water to improve her health, as a relative, Yuxiu still can't help but worry about her.
"Then I'll write the letter later, and have someone take it out tomorrow to see if someone can deliver it."
When Cui heard that someone could deliver the letter, her face lit up with joy. She had indeed been thinking about her mother and brother's family these days, but seeing that Yuxiu and Xu Qinghe were busy, she did not use this matter to cause trouble.
Yuxiu thought back to when she was in Phoenix City, the city lord seemed to have given her a letter, saying that she could take it to find someone for help when she arrived in the capital, but they got here smoothly, so they didn't bother anyone.
She thought about finding the letter in the space later, but Cui was already busy writing it.
Seeing their mother's happy face, Yuxiu and Xu Qinghe looked at each other and couldn't help feeling sad and self-blame.
Soon it was the second day. Today, Yuxiu's family got up early and dressed up. Today, the three of them were going to Prince Ning's Mansion to attend a flower-viewing banquet.
There was no need for Xu Qinghe, a grown man, to dress up. He changed into the new clothes prepared by Yuxiu in advance and fixed his hair with a white jade hairpin. Plus, he looked very good to begin with, so at first glance he looked like a very energetic young man.
As for Cui and Yuxiu, both of them wore clothes made of the fabrics that City Lord Ma had given them. Although the styles looked simple, they were soft and comfortable to wear. They exuded a unique brilliance when they walked, and had a low-key luxurious texture.
