Chapter 1695 No matter how shameless I am in front of her, I can’t help but blush.
For the Zhu family, sugar production already had a mature team's craftsmanship. If Ye Yuran needed it here, he would send a group of people over without saying a word.
The person who brought this guy over was actually an old acquaintance of Ye Yuran - Zhu Gu, the eldest son of Widow Qin who had an affair with Old Man Zhu.
Ye Yuran smiled as soon as she saw him: "I didn't expect that after a few years of seeing you, you can already be on your own. Come over here and let me see. You have grown into a young man now. It's great..."
Ye Yuran sincerely praised her, and no matter how thick-skinned Zhu Gu was in front of her, he couldn't help but blush.
There was no way, his mother had done that kind of shameful thing before, and he and his younger brother Zhu Li had the Zhu family to take care of them, so they grew up smoothly and learned a lot of skills.
Zhu Wu also likes to use the two brothers, and he will entrust many important things to them.
When Zhu Gu heard that Ye Yuran wanted to hire someone this time, he took the initiative to discuss with Zhu Wu without saying a word and wanted to make the trip himself.
"Mrs. Zhu..."
"What are you calling me, old lady? You should be called Aunt Zhu. Sit down quickly. Are you tired after coming all the way? Have a sip of herbal tea and have a good rest." He then asked Zhu Gu about the situation at home with a smile.
Hearing that Zhu Gu had gotten married and gave birth to a big fat boy with his first child, and that his wife was pregnant with the second child before going out, the smile on Ye Yuran's face became even bigger: "Oh, this is good news. Congratulations, it's so fast.
As a father of two children, you are indeed an adult. You have to be nicer to your wife in the future. You are usually busy outside, and it is quite hard for your wife to be at home alone."
"Well, I will be good to her." Faced with Ye Yuran's kindness, Zhu Gu's heart warmed up, making him feel that in fact, he still had elders who cared about him.
The more this happened, the more Zhu Gu felt that Ye Yuran had a noble character. Only such a mother could raise such outstanding Zhu brothers.
It is also under their influence that Zhujiacun has now become a well-known village - it is both wealthy and cultural, and everyone who mentions it must give a thumbs up.
How many people in Zhujia Village do not enjoy such invisible benefits?
After Zhu Gu arrived, Ye Yuran handed over the affairs of the beet sugar making workshop to him.
When the first batch of sugar beets was harvested, the first batch of white sugar was successfully produced.
When the snow-white sugar was brought to them, Mr. Tong's eyes almost turned red with excitement.
"Sugar, it really is sugar! The vegetables we grew turned into sugar!"
"Oh my god! It's really sugar! It's such white sugar. Are we going to eat such good sugar in the future?!"
"Woooooooo... great, we can have some sweets too."
…
Some older people, with red eyes, said that this was the candy that their daughter was thinking about before she passed away, but her family was poor at that time and could not afford it.
The daughter didn't eat the candy, so she closed her eyes in her arms.
"She's only a little older..." She stretched out her hand to gesture, and the back of her hand was full of cracked marks.
The uncle next to him also had red eyes and comforted her softly: "My dear daughter has gone to another world, so there is no shortage of candy."

After there were sweets in the village, things were completely different. My daughter, who didn't usually go back to her parents' house, also came back. Her in-laws, who usually looked down on their own family, also showed up one by one and greeted me warmly.
"Oh, my mother-in-law, my daughter will enjoy a happy life when she marries into your family..."
"Mom, my mother-in-law asked me to come back and take a look. She also asked me to bring so many things. Come and take a look."
…
Motherly looking at the things her daughter brought back, she was both happy and a little sad.
I remember when my daughter came back, she was scolded for subsidizing her parents' family. But what did her daughter supplement? When did she come back empty-handed? When did she go back to her husband's house and didn't let her carry something?
But even if he is like this, he will be disliked by his in-laws.
This time, the husband's family took the initiative and asked her daughter to bring back some eggs. The mother's eyes turned red: "It's good to come back. Why are you carrying so many things? I don't know if they are left for eating outside."
"Mom, no need, her milk is reserved for her."
"She breastfed... and let your daughter eat eggs? Doesn't she dislike you for giving birth to a daughter for their family?"
"No matter how disgusted it is, it is still the flesh and blood of their old Tao family." The daughter did not mention that her mother-in-law was doing it for her to see, and brought her back to ask about the sugar.
But if a daughter doesn’t ask, how can a mother not ask?
The mother knew clearly in her heart why her daughter came back this time, and she didn't want to make her daughter sad. She took her daughter's hand and sat down, asked about her daughter's current situation, and took her daughter to work on the stove while talking about the village.
of beet.
"Mom, why are you telling me this? It's hard to add some money to the family. Just make your own money."
"Silly girl, even if I don't say it, others will. And the noble man said that if we introduce someone who grows beets, he will give you this." The mother gestured a little with her fingers, "It's just not much.
Although beets are good, they are not allowed to grow more, saying that one family can only grow a little, and they cannot affect the land. Beets are made of sugar, but no matter how sweet the sugar is, it cannot fill the stomach, so the most important thing is to grow food..."
After finishing talking, it was getting dark and it was time for dinner.
After dinner, the mother sent her son to take her daughter back to her husband's house. There was also a bag of sugar in the basket for her daughter to take.
"Here, this is not expensive, only a few copper coins per package."
It turned out that Ye Yuran knew that they had no money, so he not only sold them at low prices, but also made many small bags of one, two or two.
When giving gifts like this, one or two small packages will also look good.
There are also candies, but usually only adults who love children will buy one or two coins to sweeten the mouths of their children.
Old man Tong was in charge of the black flowers and white cattle, so Ye Yuran cooperated with Li Zheng to open a small shop, specializing in selling various things to enrich the lives of the villagers.
In addition to sugar, there are other delicacies from the Zhu family, such as Yip's sweet potato noodles, Yip's braised food, hot and sour beans, delicious vegetarian chicken, delicious vegetarian duck, soy sauce...
There are some vegetarian meat series and seasoning series, but the ones I picked are basically relatively affordable. The packages like those are more high-end and look more expensive at first glance, so I won't put them here.
In rural areas, everyone is looking for benefits, not class.
If anyone really needs it, they need to make a reservation with Li Zheng in advance, and it will be delivered together with the goods to avoid wastage.
After Zhu Bamei heard that the canteen in the village had opened, she picked some low-end cloth, rags, girl's hair flowers, etc. without saying a word, and also had them sent over.
"Mom, you can't just think about food, you have to think about clothing and use. I remember when our family was poor, I was looking forward to having such a salesman in the village. I can buy everything from all over the world.
And the price is cheaper.”
"I didn't think carefully. Take a look. Is there anything else you need to add?" Ye Yuran laughed when she heard it and asked her daughter.
Zhu Bamei thought about it and added some more. Some enlightenment reference books, writing sand table, pinyin dictionary...
Although she was not sure whether people in the village could use it, what if there were literate people in their village and wanted to enlighten their children? Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were too expensive, but a writing sandbox was much cheaper.
There were no books, but the enlightenment reference books and pinyin dictionary in the canteen were just there, and she didn't mind anyone "borrowing" them at all.
As long as the person "borrowing" the book takes good care of it and doesn't damage it, it will be fine.
Chapter completed!
