Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Greetings, mistress. The old men immediately stood up and greeted her.

Its mainly because of mistress that weve been treated as guests, so we got a little fat, said Uncle Sun, the oldest of them.

Its good that youve returned safely. Did your trip go smoothly?

The Third Prince brought us around personally. Other than the first two days, when we werent used to the place and weather, everything went smoothly.

Yeah, its all thanks to Master Gus medicine. Otherwise, I would not have been able to adjust to the humid environment.

Its fantastic that it came in handy. Ill join the kitchen this afternoon and make you some mutton soup.

Thank you, boss.

After Zhou Ying knew everything was going well for them, she said a few polite words and turned around to get busy.

After lunch, Zhou Ying took a plate of lamb chops and was about to leave when Manager Liu followed her. Miss Zhou, because of the white potato, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince have sent people over.

You guys should try to keep a low profile these days. Just in case, dont spread the news about the white potato flour.

Youre afraid theyll target us for the vermicelli recipe?

Thats right. This potato vermicelli is even more delicious than rice vermicelli. On top of that, the yield of white sweet potatoes is high, and I believe it will be popular the year after next.

Then, were they the ones who bought the sweet potatoes at a high price?

The First Princes men, yes. My men have been watching them, and it seems like they havent made any big moves, but its hard to say they wont do anything in the future.

I understand. Ill definitely be careful from now on. After Zhou Ying rea.s.sured him, she went home with Er Zhuang.

At night, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about the matter. You should be more careful. I dont know if they will suddenly do something crazy.

It just so happens Doctor Luo is also planning to close the clinic soon, so I will stop going tomorrow.

Close down? You dont have any more herbs?

Thats right, Qingshui Towns medicinal herbs have been selling without restocking.

I used much of it to treat Hu Chun and the others last time, so the stock is almost empty.

Thats fine. Its getting cold now, and you wont make much anyway. We can just stay at home and enjoy the winter.

Yup, Ill keep you company.

Alright, should we send some things over to Zhao Cheng and the others tomorrow?

Bring some veggies over. The amount of grain they have stored is already quite a lot.

Alright, Ill bring some over tomorrow morning.

The next day, Gu Chengrui had just set off with a cart full of carrots and cabbages when the wind started to pick up.

In the afternoon, the sky was completely dark.

When Gu Chengrui returned, it was already snowing.

Although they couldnt farm in this weather, the villages were still happy.

In particular, those in the outer villages were hoping for more snow.

First, it could alleviate the drought. Second, they could start planting next spring if the snow gets heavy.

The heavens finally granted the peoples wishes, and the drifting snow lasted for three days.

Although the snow wasnt heavy, it still piled up half a foot thick.

It didnt affect their daily lives, so the snow wasnt shoved aside.

Everyone gathered around the small river outside the village. The children were so happy that they went to the river to have a s...o...b..ll fight daily.

Therefore, it became a lively scene in the village where parents chased their children with feather dusters for pranking them constantly.

The snow gradually stopped at noon on the fourth day, but the sky was still dark. The villages began clearing the snow from their streets.

Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui also walked out with a broom and a shovel. When they saw the Tian couple pus.h.i.+ng the snow away with a small cart, they went forward and started shoveling the snow together.

When they were almost done, Tian Jiaw.a.n.g said, Brother Gu, could you help me out this afternoon? I have to erect a wooden pillar in the house..
