Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 219 Floral Water Materials

"Boss, what I want is pure grain liquor, even if it's a little more expensive."

The shopkeeper pointed to the big jar at the back and said, "Oh? Since you are speaking frankly, come with me and take a look at my wine!"

An Yue followed the shopkeeper and looked towards the corner he pointed to.

The shopkeeper said proudly: "This is the treasure of our store."

After saying this, the shopkeeper gently opened a crack in the lid of the wine jar and continued, "Girl, smell it. Is the aroma strong, but is it mellow?"

Although An Yue didn't know much about wine, when she smelled this wine, she felt it was indeed a bit like the smell of 21st century white wine.

"Boss, how much is this wine you mentioned?"

"Miss, this wine costs seventy coins per pound."

"It's a bit expensive, but I'll buy a pound to try first. If I'm satisfied, I'll definitely patronize your business again in the future."

"Okay! Don't worry, young lady. I have absolute confidence in this wine."

An Yue picked up two more jars with lids from the tavern, paid the money, and left the tavern with Chunzhi.

They walked towards the main street and happened to pass a small stall selling pork.

An Yue wanted to buy some big bones to make soup, as the marrow in the bones was very fragrant.

As the old saying goes, "Meat lasts for three days, soup lasts for seven days, and bones last for twenty-one days." This means that bone soup is rich in nutrients.

An Yue and Chun Zhi stood in front of the stall and took a look.

The stall owner greeted, "What kind of meat would you like to buy, ladies?"

An Yue pointed at the big bone on the wooden board and asked, "Boss, how much is one pound of this pig bone?"

"Girl, pork bones are cheap! Fifteen cents a pound."

"Well, buy three!"

The boss smiled and responded, "Okay!" Then he reached out and picked up three large bones and began to weigh them.

"Miss, three large bones weighing four pounds cost sixty cents in total."

An Yue gave the boss sixty coins, then wrapped the bundled bones in banana leaves and put them in the basket.

"Miss, where are we going next?"

"We've bought everything we wanted, let's go home!"

At this time, it was almost noon.

The two of them walked around for the whole morning and their legs and feet felt tired and sore.

They arrived at the town entrance carrying baskets on their backs, and Li Wu's ox cart happened to be there.

There happened to be three women on the ox cart, so An Yue and Chun Zhi got on the cart, and Li Wu drove the cart directly back to the village.

After a while, we got home.

An Yue opened the gate of the courtyard and started to act coquettishly in a sob voice.

An Yue put the backpack under the eaves, then walked out to the yard with the wooden basin, while Chunzhi put away the things she had bought one by one.

An Yue came to the open space outside the gate of the yard and squatted down to pick mint.

When An Yue saw An Nian being bitten by mosquitoes, this idea suddenly came to her mind.

She asked around in many rouge shops in town today, but couldn't find anything similar to floral water. She wanted to try making floral water.

Before she traveled here, she remembered seeing a short video about making toilet water.

She sighed in her heart: [It is true that having many skills is good. Before I traveled through time, I never thought that one day I would have to make toilet water by myself? The videos I watched when I was bored before suddenly became useful at this time.]

As An Yue thought about it, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart.

An Yue took the picked mint leaves to the yard, washed them, and then spread them out in a large winnowing basket to dry.

Then, she cleaned the jar with lid that she had just bought and placed it upside down, waiting for the water to dry.

"Chunzhi, you prepare lunch first. I'm going to the back mountain." An Yue said to Chunzhi in the kitchen while holding a dustpan.

Chunzhi, who was handing over the firewood, responded, "Okay, Miss."

An Yue wanted to go and see what the beehive that she had placed in the fern bushes at the foot of the mountain was like two days ago.

Furthermore, she wanted to go to the rock pit to pick some honeysuckle, wash them and use them to make floral water.

An Yue came to the foot of the back mountain and walked over quietly to take a look at the beehive.

The bees were seen flying back and forth regularly in the small holes of the beehive to collect honey. An Yue forgot to bring her hat, so she didn't dare to open the lid of the beehive directly.

However, her intuition told her that the queen bee had already moved into the beehive.

She picked up the dustpan happily and walked towards the rock pit with light steps.

Along the way, I hummed a little tune happily.

'Where is spring? Where is spring? Spring is in the green mountains and forests. There are red flowers, green grass, and the singing little oriole...'

An Yue trotted lightly on tiptoe and soon arrived at the rock pit.

Looking around, the honeysuckle is already in bud and growing well.

She put down the dustpan in her hand and started picking quickly.

After a while, he picked a large bunch of honeysuckle.

An Yue held the dustpan and prepared to walk home.

As she walked, she thought that these honeysuckle flowers could still grow for two more days, so she should pick them all and take them home to dry before they bloomed.

I'll deliver it to Uncle Zhang's pharmacy next time I go to town.

Suddenly, An Yue stopped.

She changed her mind and decided to give them all to him. Then she would need honeysuckle to make floral water. What should she do then?

She raised her head, covered her forehead with her hands, and looked at the mountains and fields around her.

There is no one in the fields. I guess the villagers have almost finished their farm work recently.

At this time, if we can purchase herbs in the village, wouldn’t it bring extra income to the villagers?

Moreover, you don’t have to pick the fruits yourself, which saves you effort and you can also earn the difference.

But this also has a big drawback.

If everyone in the village knew that this could be exchanged for money, and they took it privately to the pharmacy in the town to exchange it for money, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?

It seems that this matter needs to be carefully considered.

An Yue was holding the honeysuckle and walking towards home with a heavy heart.

After a while, she returned home.

Chunzhi had already prepared lunch and was walking towards the main hall with the food.

Seeing An Yue walking into the yard, he quickly asked, "Miss, you're back just in time. Lunch is ready."

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands and prepare for lunch."

An Yue put down the dustpan filled with honeysuckle and went to the kitchen to get a basin of clean water.

Then wash the honeysuckle in the scoop and put it in a winnowing basket to dry.

The two of them sat around the octagonal table and began to have lunch.

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

An Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I'm thinking about making a kind of floral water to repel mosquitoes."

"Mosquito repellent floral water?" Chunzhi asked curiously, "What is that?"

An Yue patiently explained: "Floral water is a kind of plant that has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and is carefully made."
