“Alright, let’s keep our mouths focused on eating it while it’s hot.” Zhou lluaiming said as he bit into a freshly roasted lamb skewer.
“Of course, everything is delicious when it’s just out of the pot.” Gu Chengrui replied with a smile.
He raised his glass and added, “Don’t just eat meat. It’s more delicious when combined with a mouthful of wine.”
“True. Eating too much mutton will make you sick of it. 1 need to drink some wine to wash it down.”
Zhou l luaiming raised his small wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He then raised his head and asked, “By the way, when will you be able to sell your greenhouse vegetables? You must leave some for me.”
“Vegetables grown in greenhouses have a similar growth period as those grown on land. Other than cabbage and bakchoi, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enjoy the rest before the new year.”
“That’s good enough. At least 1 can see greens in my meal in the middle of winter. You have to leave some for me when the time comes.”
“Of course, no problem. If you’re not busy, you can help me sell it to the others too.”
“Easy. It’s just a matter of getting the word out. I’m afraid there won’t be enough for it to go around.”
“The rarer an item is, the more valuable it is.”
“That’s true.”
Zhou Ying waited for them to stop and asked, “Brother Zhou, how are the roses selling? Can they be sold at a high price?”
Wild roses were the primary source of income for Xin’an Village. Their lives would be difficult if they could not sell for a high price.
“Why don’t you take a guess?” Zhou I luaihing turned his head and asked.
“1 heard from Mingyu that I couldn’t buy it even if 1 wanted to. I think it shouldn’t be bad.”
“That’s right. It was initially sold for nearly half a tael of silver per pound.
“Later, many women and young ladies realized its effectiveness and gradually raised the price.
“By the time you returned to the capital, one tael of rose tea was selling for one tael of silver; even this was barely enough. The teahouse bought the last ten pounds at a high price the day before yesterday.
“Looks like Xin’an Village is saved.”
“Yeah, let them take good care of those wild roses. That’s their treasure.”
“I’ll write a letter to Hu Chun later.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
Soon, Yang Chenglin ran out and tried roasting the meat.
Once Zhou Ying estimated that everyone had eaten enough, she baked steamed buns and sweet potato slices and brought them into the house.
After dinner, they sent Zhou lluaiming off, and the couple handed the stall over to Haitang and her husband before returning home.
Seeing Yang Chenglin, who was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes, Gu Chengrui said, “Chenglin, go inside to sleep.”
“Cousin, there’s no need. After we’re done, we still have to rush back home.” Yang Wanning said.
When Yang Chenglin heard that, he immediately stood up, despite being extremely sleepy.
“Tell me, what exactly happened?” Gu Chengrui sat down with Zhou Ying and asked.
“Madam… Madam was killed.” When Mrs. Sun said this, she started crying.
When Yang Wanning and her brother heard this, they started tearing up.
Zhou Ying had no choice but to hand each of them a handkerchief.
After they recovered, Mrs. Sun continued, “Ever since the incident in the Gu family, Master gradually began alienating Madam, which put her on guard.
“But although Master alienated her and Mrs. and Madam Cui made things difficult for her, Madam gradually relaxed her vigilance after realizing there was no bodily harm.
“It was not until last winter that Madam felt her condition worsening, so she found a doctor.
“The doctor claimed Madam had overeaten cold or chilly food, which caused her body to get chilly and her blood vessels blocked. That was why her health was deteriorating.
“Later, he prescribed some medicine for Madam to drink.
“Her health improved slightly at first, but the medicine stopped when the snowstorm arrived.
“The charcoal supply stopped, so her health took a sharp turn.
“One night, she passed away from the chill when the fireplace ran out of charcoal..”
