Ch 139: Sugar Making
Afterward, Su Chunlin carefully told the Ke family father and son, three people, about Ke Yunyun’s situation.
The three men’s uneasy hearts finally settled.
Ke Zhengliang mumbled, “If only we could go see our younger sister.”
Su Chunlin waved his hand. “Forget it, she’s now Young Master Zhu’s beloved darling. Young Master Zhu probably wouldn’t want too many people disturbing her. I only went once. I’ll go again during the New Year. You can rest assured. If Young Master Zhu doesn’t like her anymore, I can take her back and raise her. I definitely won’t let her end up on the streets.”
“Younger brother-in-law, I really don’t know how to thank you!” Ke Dasong was so moved that his eyes were red, and his voice choked.
Su Chunlin chuckled, “We’re all family. Back then, everyone suffered so much for us. Now that I’m taking care of your daughter, it’s only right.”
These words made the Ke family father and son feel very comforted.
Ye Chunhua and her sisters on the side were eager to go back to the Ye Family home and couldn’t sit still.
Su Chunlin saw them and quickly said, “Zhengliang, Zhengping, you accompany your wives back to their maiden families, and bring some things along.”
The four people were deeply moved by Su Chunlin’s thorough preparations.
Because Ye An’s three brothers had divided their family property, they first went to Ye An’s place.
Ye An’s wife, Han Xiaoya, was the younger daughter of Han Shi’s second brother. The Han family, having benefited from the Su family in the past, also accumulated some family fortune and had a better life, gradually building houses and dividing their family property.
Su Chunlin liked Ye An, and with the added thought of strengthening family ties, he proposed this marriage to the Han family.
Finally, Old Man Han decided to marry his granddaughter to Ye An.
After Han Xiaoya married, she and Ye An suffered for a year until this year’s autumn harvest when their family fortune increased with money, and their lives improved.
Ye Chunhua and her sisters saw Han Xiaoya busy inside and out, efficient in her work, and nodded repeatedly.
“You’ve married a good wife, someone who can manage a household,” Ye Xiahua complimented.
Ye An’s mouth almost reached his ears. “Of course! Xiaoya is the match my uncle made for me. She’s my aunt’s niece. This year, my aunt has worried a lot for our family. Thankfully, our lives have improved.”
“My second brother also got married this summer. His wife is from Dongmen Village. Her family has many siblings, and they’re relatively easy to get along with. During the autumn harvest, her maiden family called many people to help, even I was envious.”
“My third brother hasn’t gotten married yet. I plan to help him arrange it next year. If he has a girl he likes, that’s fine too. In short, all three of us brothers are doing well, older sisters, you don’t need to worry.”
Ye An secretly glanced at the two brothers-in-law who were wandering around the sheep pen and whispered, “Are your brothers-in-law good to you?”
“Good! Very good! Those two brothers are particularly afraid that we sisters will run away, how could they not be good to us?” Ye Xiahua joked.
Ye Chunhua reproachfully bumped her arm, and said seriously, “The Ice Plains environment is indeed not as good as ours, especially in winter. You can’t even go out. Thankfully, the Ke family earned some money last year, and bought a large piece of land in town in the spring and built two courtyards.
The situation in town is better, at least there are more people, and it’s convenient to buy things.”
“After the houses are built, we will stay in town. The men will herd sheep in the Ice Plains, and only return after it snows. Because we planned to build a house this year, we didn’t dare to have children. Next year, if we have children, we probably won’t be able to come back to see you.”
Seeing that their three younger brothers were doing well on this trip, they could finally rest assured.
That night, everyone gathered in Su Chunlin’s courtyard to celebrate with a mutton feast, drinking one jar of alcohol after another.
During this time, some people came in the dark to buy sheep, and Ke Dasong gave them a discount.
The remaining sheep were also sold out.
They came here to sell sheep. Now that the sheep were all sold, and knowing the situation of their relatives, they decided to leave the next day.
After all, there was still a lot of work at home that needed them.
The next morning, at dawn, Ke Dasong and four others were already awake. Although they were still hungover, they didn’t dare delay their journey.
Before leaving, Su Chunlin brought out the six sheep Shen Yi wanted and handed them to Ke Dasong. “Please, brother-in-law, help me send them to Shen Family Village. It’ll be convenient to have a meal at Xiao Tai’s place before leaving.”
Ke Dasong readily agreed.
At this time, Shen Yi was out delivering goods, and Su Tai had just woken up. Today, she was going to the Earth Spacetime. The ten mu of water chestnuts and ten mu of sugarcane in the Earth Spacetime could be harvested. She wasn’t worried about the water chestnuts, but this was the first time harvesting sugarcane. She was uneasy and didn’t know how many tons she would get in the end.
With anxious feelings, she sent Shen Dagou and his sister away, immediately closed the gate, and entered the Earth Spacetime.
The gophers were waiting for her orders.
As soon as Su Tai gave the order, they immediately got to work.
Su Tai wasn’t idle either. She first drove the water chestnuts to the transfer station and sold them at the automatic trading cabinet, earning 90,000 virtual coins. Then she went to check the sugarcane and found that the gophers had harvested the ten mu of sugarcane in just one hour, removed the leaves, and bundled them.
She quickly had the gophers move the sugarcane onto the truck, and then drove the truck to the transfer station. There was not enough space in the transfer station for so much sugarcane, so she could only temporarily leave it on the ridge between paddy fields and transfer it slowly.
When she arrived at the transfer station, she checked the screen and found that the Earth Spacetime had received 50,000 jin of sugarcane, which means that the yield per mu was around 10,000 jin.
This amount was quite pleasing.
After a brief moment of elation, she immediately ran to the medium tool vending machine to check for a fully automatic sugar-making machine, and she actually found one.
It was a bit expensive, costing 1,000 virtual coins to rent once, and for no more than three days at a time.
To make the most of it, she gritted her teeth and rented a sugar-making machine, using medium water pipes to connect to the water in the Water Spacetime, and then put the sugarcane stalks one by one into the raw material input.
With the first experience, she also knew how to do it more efficiently.
The second time, she pulled the sugarcane from the Earth Spacetime and didn’t pour it on the ground, but directly poured it into the raw material input.
The entire machine could add fifty stalks of sugarcane at once, and as long as the first process was finished, raw materials could be added immediately without waiting.
She spent most of the day running back and forth through the Space-Time Gate, and by the time Shen Yi returned, she had almost obtained 500 jin of brown sugar.
Not long after she moved the brown sugar home.
Shen Yi returned.
Su Tai mysteriously pulled him to the storehouse, pointed at a large stainless steel box and said, “See what’s inside!”
Shen Yi didn’t say a word, opened it and looked, his face showing no excessive expression, “It smells good, what is it?”
Su Tai: “.”
“Haven’t you always said that brown sugar is precious? This is it!”
Shen Yi’s pupils shook, his calm expression finally cracked. “This is brown sugar? Wife! Did you go to Longxia Kingdom?”
He had long known that Su Tai had special abilities, able to instantly travel to different places, but he never expected that she could go so far!
