“It’s really delicious.” Chu Jin could not wait to put it into his mouth, and in a short while, he was half full.
The crispy rice and meat left oil in one’s teeth.
It was fragrant but not greasy. It was much more comfortable than eating a mouthful of dry food on the road.
After finishing the bacon, Ye Muyu took out the water bag beside her.
Lil’ Jin and Ziluo were already holding their bowls at the side. They moved closer to Ye Muyu and soon, a bowl of fermented rice water was served.
The two children took a sip. “Mother, it’s delicious. Not only is it sweet, but it’s also warm.”
Xiang Ling’er curiously reached out to touch it. As expected, she instantly smiled. “Sister-in-law, you’re so smart.”
“Come, drink some.” Ye Muyu poured some more for them.
A mouthful of sweet soup after a meal made her feel extremely comfortable even though she was on the road.
“Sister-in-law, do you plan to sell this metal lunchbox? I think it’s very convenient.” Xiang Ling’er helped to clean up after dinner.
Chu Jin and Ziluo were also helping out. Although they were young, Ye Muyu had always asked them to help out.
“This thing is quite convenient for traveling in winter. I don’t have to be afraid that the food inside will go bad.”
“I’ll make some more in November and sell them in the shop. There’s no hurry.”
“Your idea is great. When the time comes, I’ll help you sell it.” Xiang Ling’er used to be shy and embarrassed to do such a thing. Now that she had been with Ye Muyu for a long time, she finally had her own opinions and became bolder. Although she said it with a red face, her eyes were sparkling. It was obvious that she had become bolder.
“Sure, you can learn how to sell things when the time comes.” Ye Muyu nodded in agreement.
After that, the two children fell asleep along the way. Ye Muyu was also sleepy, so Xiang Ling’er sat quietly by the side and read a book.
Actually, she did not buy the book. She copied it herself. Although it was a little ugly, it was still an improvement.
Two hours later, the carriage stopped at the bookstore.
The bookstore was exceptionally lively.
The bookstore had been expanded, and the shop next to it had been bought. The door of the room where the books were read was now open, and it was obvious that many students and even farmers were sitting on the ground.
Sitting in the hall was a hired storyteller.
Every day, the storyteller would talk in the bookstore for four hours.
Two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.
Every time, he would talk about agriculture, the names of plants, and other basic knowledge.
Ordinary people had never been to school before, so many of them might not recognize these things for the rest of their lives.
Instead, they wasted a lot of good things.
Ye Muyu asked for Chu Heng’s opinion before hiring a storyteller in the bookstore.
As a result, in just two to three months, the bookstore had already become the most famous bookstore in the county.
Many commoners did not dare to go to the bookstore usually, but ever since the storyteller of the bookstore talked about how to farm, many commoners who knew how to farm could not help but go up and argue when they heard the storyteller’s words were different from what they thought.
They thought that the storyteller would be annoyed by them, but who knew that the storyteller would not chase them away?
On the contrary, he was willing to listen to them. He said that he wanted to revise, discuss, and then determine the most accurate agricultural book.
In addition, the shopkeeper and storyteller in the bookshop had a good attitude. Ordinary people were also willing to listen to them on a daily basis. As a result, the oil shop that used to be opened next door was changed to a tea and wine shop.
Ye Muyu got out of the carriage.
Chu Heng was already standing beside her. When she came down, he reached out to help her. “Are you tired?”
