Chapter 1083: Can Go Outside
Li said, "I just feel sad. Two taels of silver were gone in just a few bites."
Moreover, this thing is different from bird's nest. It is not good for you if you eat too much. Apart from the good taste, it has no other benefits. I don't know why it is sold so expensively.
Anyway, everyone loves to eat it, and if they love it, it is worth the price.
After Zhou Guo finished his meal, he took a big crab, opened the shell, removed all the dirt, and ate half of the crab in a few bites.
While eating, he sighed, "This big crab tastes different from the small ones. You can get so much meat and roe in one bite."
Small crabs are different, with less meat and more shell, so they are not as satisfying.
The old man said, "You have to say it every year, how much is a small crab, how much is a large crab?"
These are all sold for two taels of silver each. After one bite, half a tael of silver is gone. If they are not of this quality, can they be sold for two taels of silver?
Zhou Guo said: "I just couldn't help but sigh, it means that I didn't cheat anyone by paying two taels of silver for each one."
She would feel bad if she cheated someone.
Zhou Mi said: "In this case, we initially sold them for one and a half taels each, so they actually got a bargain."
There is a clear difference between crabs this big and those that cost one and a half taels and one silver coin.
Everyone ate crabs and drank wine leisurely.
The food was taken away and a few plates of fruit were brought to the table.
There was a plate of grapes inside that was extremely eye-catching, alternating between green and red. Although they were not big, they looked very appetizing.
Everyone looked at the grapes with joy, "Have the grapes on the farm borne fruit?"
Zhou Guo said, "They have borne fruit. Several plants have borne fruit. However, this is the first year, so there are not many fruits, and the fruit shape is not good. These are the ones I had people pick out with great difficulty. You can have a taste."
Everyone took one, except Xiaohua, and put it in their mouths without peeling it.
Zhou Guo also picked one for himself and peeled it. The green grape flesh looked very attractive. When he put it in his mouth, it was sour and sweet, with a fruity aroma. Although the sourness was a bit strong, it was already very delicious.
"Tsk, a bit sour!" The old man frowned, took a sip of tea, and moved away from the plate of grapes.
It’s too sour. He is old and can’t eat anything too sour.
Li said, "It's a little sour, but still edible. It's sour to the end and quite tasty."
Except for the old man, everyone loves to eat it.
Zhou Guo noticed that they didn't spit out the skin or seeds, and couldn't help asking, "Did you eat both the skin and seeds?"
"Yeah, it's not like these are inedible." Several people nodded. They ate anything that was edible.
Zhou Guo was helpless. "We don't need this now. Although the skin and seeds can be eaten, they don't taste good. Eating them with the grape flesh will affect the taste. Wouldn't it be a waste to eat the grapes?"
Nowadays, when eating, we no longer care about filling the stomach, but about the taste and flavor. Otherwise, why spend money on food?
Zhou Gu smiled innocently, "I'm just too lazy to peel it or spit it out. It tastes good even if I eat it in one piece. It's such a small thing, and I have to peel it and spit out the seeds. It's really troublesome."
It really feels troublesome.
Zhou Mi and Zhou Mai had the same idea, "It's troublesome. It takes a long time to eat one. This way, we can eat one at a time, which is convenient and fast. We don't have to find something to put the skin on. It's clean."
They all find it troublesome.
After saying that, they continued to eat it, and said that it tasted good. Otherwise, they would wait for two years until the grape plants grew up and move them home. Then, when the season came, they would be able to eat freshly picked fruits every day when they woke up.
Peel the Zhou fruit slowly, put it in your mouth, spit out the seeds, and eat it. It tastes very sweet.
Zhou Suli standing by also peeled the skin and ate it like Zhou Guo, but he didn't spit out the seeds. He even sucked the skin in his hand again and only spit it out after he had eaten it all.
At least I don’t eat the skin.
Li asked her, "The autumn harvest will begin next month. Will you be home?"
Zhou Guo said, "I can't come back. This year, there are two more farms from the Wang family. I will go to look after them. There are also a few salty and bitter fields. I will also look after them. The autumn harvest is the busiest time. Mother, my eldest brother is looking after this land at home. It will be fine. I haven't been home for several years."
Zhou Gu ate the big pear and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I can also make arrangements at home."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Brother, work hard and go out in a few years."
He has become more and more capable in recent years. He is the only one in the family, but he can do a good job. He will be able to go to Yunzhou in time.
Hu Zi and Wu Jiang are born with the energy and are very suitable for this job, but Zhou Gu is different. It is remarkable that he has grown from knowing nothing and not daring to speak to where he is now.
Moreover, only by taking solid steps like this can you go further in the future and learn solid skills.
"Really?" The whole family was delighted and excited for him, believing he would be able to do greater things in the future.
Zhou Gu's eyes also brightened, but only for a moment, and then he became a little nervous, "Can I make it? If I leave, who will take over this family?"
He had finally sorted out this part of his house, and now he had to move to a new place?
Li said angrily, "It's just a small matter at home, but I can handle it. You have been doing it for a few years. Now Huzi has begun to manage the entire north, and Wujiang has taken charge of the affairs in the south. How many years do you plan to stay at home?"
If Zhou Gu had the ability to go out and go to Yunzhou, the burden on Zhou Guo's shoulders would be much lighter.
Wu Ya is not good at talking, but her eyes are shining. She is happier than anyone else because her husband can take care of more things.
Zhou Guo said, "Brother, don't be afraid. We have already mastered several routes in the north. All difficulties and obstacles have been eliminated by us in the past few years. If you go there now, it will be like picking up a ready-made opportunity. Knowing that you are the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, everyone will give you face."
After all, she has been running Yunzhou for so many years, so even someone like Zhou Gu, whose abilities are not particularly strong, can still do the job.
Even if he makes a mistake, there will be someone around to remind him.
At this time, as long as nothing goes wrong, it's fine.
Zhou Gu nodded as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll try it."
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw his fearless look of facing death.
Zhou Guo also smiled and consoled him, "It's not a matter for now, it will be next year at the latest. You still have so much time to live, so you can use this time to get familiar with Yunzhou's affairs.
Especially in Yunzhou, there are many wealthy families. You need to understand the relationships between each family. Which families are on good terms with our family, and which families are just trying to show off. I have them all in my study. I will move them to your study later. You can take a look at them yourself."
"Okay." Zhou Gu agreed, "I will definitely watch it carefully."
When my uncle left, I told him to share more of the housework. As a result, now that my uncle has moved south for several years, he is still hanging around at home. Sometimes I get anxious too.
