Ji Yunpu went to see Shi Huihua that day and told her that he was going back to the Ji family. He also said that he would leave the Ji family in the future and would no longer be the eldest son of the Ji family.
On the second day, he rushed to Lanzhou City with the two people Hui Feng had arranged for him.
Shi Huihua previously said she didn't care and told him to go away and not come back. She no longer cares about him, but after Ji Yunpu left, she always liked to be in a daze quietly. When she got busy, she was really busy. When I calm down, I always feel empty, as if I have lost my soul.
Su Wan had received the news from Lanzhou City and knew the progress of the matter. It was not easy for Ji Yunpu to leave with what he wanted. There were too many involved and he couldn't handle it in a short time.
He was a dignified eldest son, but he gave up his inheritance rights and wanted to leave home. As long as the Ji family wanted to lose face, they would not allow this to happen.
Moreover, Mrs. Ji was involved. How could she agree to Ji Yunpu's departure and take away so many assets of the Ji family?
In this case, it is extremely normal for arguments to arise.
However, Su Wan did not tell Shi Huihua this. It would be of no use to her if she knew it. It would only increase her worries.
If Ji Yunpu can settle the matter and come back, and he is still somewhat responsible, she will not stand in the way of the matter between the two of them. If it is not settled, then Ji Yunpu will just leave and never come back. .
After a few days, it was time to pick persimmons. Manager Zhang made arrangements. Except for Ju Song and the two guards guarding the yard, the rest of the people walked up the mountain together.
It was already the tenth day of October, and the mountains and forests were filled with autumn. All you could see were yellow leaves, some of which had fallen to the ground, forming a thick layer.
Just wait for this piece of yellow to fade away and become nutrients for the trees. When the next spring, new leaves will regenerate.
However, if you want to go up the mountain, you can't wear the skirts that women usually wear. Fortunately, Lady Zhang is here and she made some convenient clothes.
The clothes were cleverly made. From the outside, they looked like a narrow-sleeved waist-length undershirt, but in fact, the top was a narrow-sleeved coat, and the skirt underneath was a loose culottes.
The hakama is loose, and when standing, it looks like a skirt, but it makes walking and movement much easier.
The women traveling today all dressed up like this. Su Wan wore an orange one with autumn chrysanthemums and maple leaves embroidered on it, and underneath the autumn chrysanthemums there was also embroidered a crab with teeth and claws, which looked lively and cute.
The rest of the girls are all blue, but the tops are clean, with no embroidery patterns, and their heads are only fixed with blue cloth ropes, which looks clean and fresh.
Su Wan went up the mountain with great interest, thinking about picking some persimmons, but found that he had overestimated himself. Not to mention her, none of the girls in Jingpingyuan could climb the tree. I can stand under a tree and pick something within my reach.
Oh, that’s not right, there is also a monkey-like Zhang Fu’er.
Su Wan stood under the tree and watched her climb up a tree. She was so frightened that she said, "Fu'er, come down here, come down! Don't climb so high!"
Zhang Fuler climbed to a high place in a few moments and looked down at the people under the tree: "Madam, don't worry, I'm fine! I'll pick the fruit for you."
Madam Zhang took a rare trip to the mountain. She was still sitting on the side panting. After listening to the conversation between the two people, she stopped and said: "Madam, don't worry about her, she can't fall. She started climbing trees when she was five years old. He really looks like a monkey."
Zhang Fu'er quickly picked a few ripe persimmons, and then divided them up. He first gave the best one to Su Wan, then picked one for Madam Zhang, and gave the rest to Xiao Pei for her to share.
"It's not enough for me to pick!"
After dividing the fruits, Zhang Fuer pulled a rope up the tree.
There is a basket tied tightly to one end of the rope. When picking fruits, use the rope to tie the basket to a forked branch and just put the fruits in the basket. When the basket is full, untie the rope and slowly lower the basket.
However, the baskets of fruits were too heavy. Zhang Fuer was only responsible for picking the fruits. Of course, others would help with putting the fruits down later.
At this time, everyone started to take action. Except for Hui Feng, who stood quietly not far behind Su Wan, the rest of the guards also took a basket and went up the tree to pick persimmons.
Su Wan felt that she still needed to catch her breath, so she sat on a stool brought by Xiao Sang under the tree and carefully looked at the ripe persimmon in her hand.
The orange-red peel looks plump and beautiful, and the surface is smooth. When you poke it with your finger, you can feel the ripe and soft flesh inside.
Su Wan knows three ways to eat persimmons, one is to soak them in lime water, the other is to make persimmons, and the last one is to eat them directly when they are ripe.
The persimmons from Shiqiao Village are the kind that are more suitable for making persimmons, and the persimmons they make are also particularly delicious.
Su Wan was still thinking about picking these persimmons and dividing them among the people in the yard, then peeling them and drying them to make persimmon cakes. They would be used in Jianjia Tower in the future, and they would be considered as an additional dish.
Su Wan peeled off the skin of the persimmon and took a bite.
The flesh inside a ripe persimmon is already similar to a berry, and the taste is very fragrant and sweet. It tastes pretty good, but there is one disadvantage. If you are not careful, your hands will get dirty, and it will be very sticky. Comfortable.
Su Wan ate carefully, but her fingers were still a little dirty in the end. She wiped them with a handkerchief, and then followed everyone to pick some fruits.
Although she couldn't climb the tree, she didn't want to sit under the tree and watch everyone pick it. At least she had to experience it herself, so that her trip would not be in vain.
Otherwise, why would she be climbing a mountain? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay at home and wait for food?
The Li family has a fruit forest in Shiqiao Village. Although the area is not small, it was originally planted just for their own consumption, so they planted some of each kind of fruit. There were only about a dozen trees of each type, which was not many.
Therefore, in just one morning, the group picked persimmons from more than a dozen trees and carried them back.
Su Wan originally wanted to share some with everyone, but after thinking about it, he couldn't eat it even if he divided it now, so he just divided the ripe fruits and planned to make the rest into persimmons, and then divide some more Just feed it to everyone.
Since no one in Jingpingyuan had the knowledge to make persimmon cakes, Su Wan asked Xiao Sang to invite Aunt Shi Liu, an aunt who was good at making persimmon cakes, to come and guide her work.
She led everyone to peel the persimmons, or tied the peeled persimmons one by one with a rope to string them together.
When the wind returned, people built a shed in the garden and hung the persimmons in bunches to dry.
The man married by Aunt Shi Liu is ranked sixth in the Shi family's genealogy. People in this generation should call her Aunt Six. She is a round-faced woman, somewhat rich in stature, but she is neat and tidy in her work and a good person. The grudges are clear.
Aunt Shi Liu sat down and peeled the persimmons with everyone. While peeling, she taught the peeling skills. After a while, she started chatting with Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Zheng.
The yard was bustling with laughter from time to time.
