Chapter 471 Losing Weight
Yan Wu looked envious. Jiang Ci was younger than him. How did his head grow? Why don't I have such a smart head?
If you think about it carefully, you can't blame anyone for being stupid. The eldest brother, the third brother, the younger sister and he were all born from the same mother's womb. The three of them are smarter than me.
After a moment of sadness, Yan Wu felt that he was not useless. At least the whole family couldn't beat him when it came to cooking. The more he ate, the stronger he was, and his ability to endure hardships and stand hard work were also advantages. Thinking this way, he still had merit.
"Little sister, why did you suddenly ask us to come down the mountain? But what happened to you here?"
Yan Shu took them to the front hall. After Nanny Zhao served tea and snacks, she stood up and closed the door. At this time, there were only three of them in the front hall.
"Nothing happened. I have a piece of land here that needs someone to take care of. I thought that my eldest brother and my second brother are good at farming, so I wanted to invite you to come over and help me farm together."
Yan Wen and Yan Wu were quite surprised by Yan Shu's answer. On the way here, they discussed what the reason was for the little sister to come to them. They thought about many possibilities, but they never thought that she was here to farm.
Yan Wu clapped his chest and promised: "This matter will be taken care of by eldest brother and me. We can't guarantee that we can help with other matters, but we are good at farming. But little sister, you are not doing what you are doing in Xinyang Mansion." Are you in the rouge gouache business? Why are you planting it on the ground? How many acres is your land? Is it on the outskirts of Xinyang Mansion?"
Yan Shu laughed: "There are currently more than 100 acres of land, but 80% of it is planted with medicinal materials. The remaining 20 acres are grown with grains, vegetables and fruits. I think I will open it again when my brothers come. Some land is used to grow food. Speaking of my business, the production process requires picking a lot of herbs and flowers, which will also require help from my brothers in the future."
Yan Wen and Yan Wu were shocked after hearing this.
My little sister actually planted more than 100 acres of land in Xinyang Mansion?
Yan Wen asked doubtfully: "Little sister, buying land in Fucheng should be very expensive, right?"
Yan Shu knew that they had misunderstood: "Well..., that piece of land is quite special. I can't explain it in one or two sentences. I will take you there to have a look when it gets dark."
Yan Wen heard that there seemed to be deep meaning in Yan Shu's words, so he nodded in agreement.
Yan Wu didn't hear anything beyond the meaning, but when his elder brother nodded, he didn't ask anything.

Bailu Academy
After school, Jiang Ci went to find Yan Huai and Wen Yutang and told them that Yan Wen and Yan Wu had come to Xinyang Mansion.
After the two got the news, they followed Jiang Ci back to Jiang Mansion.
Yan Shu is currently working on dinner in the kitchen with Nanny Zhao and Sister-in-law Qin.
She hasn't cooked by herself for a long time. The food cooked by Sister-in-law Qin tastes good, but the taste of the ancients is bland. Yan Shu would teach her how to cook occasionally when he wanted to eat sweet and spicy food. As time went by, Sister-in-law Qin learned from Yan Shu. Many new dishes.
Tonight, Aunt Zhao was in charge of picking and washing vegetables. Yan Shu and Sister-in-law Qin each cooked a few special dishes.
Just as dinner was prepared, Jiang Ci, Yan Huai, and Wen Yutang also rushed back in time.
"Erlang, Laosan, Yutang!"
Yan Wen and Yan Wu saw the three of them coming back and immediately went to greet them.
Several people of similar age had a lot to say when they met.
Jiang Ci said: "Eldest brother, second brother, I will be leaving Xinyang Mansion for a while in the next two days, and A Shu will have my two brothers to take care of me."
Yan Wudao: "Don't worry, we are her brothers, this matter is taken care of by us."
"Wu Ming will also stay. If you want to continue practicing martial arts, you can let him teach you."
Yan Wu was very happy: "That's great. I have encountered a bottleneck in my martial arts practice recently, so I can ask Wuming for advice."
Yan Wen asked Jiang Ci: "I heard from my little sister that you are going on a long trip. How many months will it take you to come back?"
Wen Yutang and Yan Huai also looked at Jiang Ci curiously.
"Do you have to go for so long?"
Wen Yutang and Jiang Ci studied together under the name Pei Daru. He knew that Jiang Ci would be gone for a while, but he didn't expect that he would be gone for so long.
Jiang Ci took a sip of tea and said calmly: "If everything goes well, we can come back in three months at the earliest."
At this time, Yan Shu led Nanny Zhao and Sister-in-law Qin in.
"Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Smelling the aroma of food, several people felt hungry, got up, washed their hands outside and went inside to eat.
There were many people dining tonight, so Yan Shu prepared eight dishes and one soup, five meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. The soup was a winter melon and pork ribs soup made with waxed pork ribs and winter melon that had been pickled during the Chinese New Year.
The soup produced by slowly simmering the cured pork ribs over low heat is milky white, and with the addition of winter melon to relieve greasiness, the whole soup tastes very delicious.
Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai, and Wen Yutang all miss the meals cooked by Yan Shu. Jiang Ci may not have eaten the meals she cooked for many days.
The appetites of the five boys were very good tonight. After a meal, they had eight vegetables, one soup, and a bowl of white rice.
Compared with the rest of them, Yan Shu ate too little for dinner. She felt that she had gained a few pounds recently and had gained a lot of fat around her waist, so she needed to lose weight.
Seeing that she had eaten a few mouthfuls of dinner, Jiang Ci asked with concern: "Why do you eat so little?"
"I'm not very hungry, maybe it's because I had some snacks before the meal."
Jiang Ci felt relieved when he saw that she was not feeling unwell.
After the meal, they consciously packed up the dishes and took them for cleaning. Yan Shu ate and walked around the yard a few times.
Seeing Yan Wen coming out, she raised her hand and called Yan Wen over.
"Brother, Sister Xu doesn't know about your visit to Xinyang Mansion yet. When are you going to see her?"
When thinking of Xu Shuangxue, a shy smile appeared on Yan Wen's face.
"My mother asked me to visit Xu Mansion after I come to Xinyang Mansion and talk about the marriage by the way, but I want to wait a little longer."
Yan Shu was puzzled: "What are you waiting for? Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"There's no problem. I just want to find a job first. After I get married, I have to take on the responsibility of supporting my family. If I don't have a profitable career, if I marry someone else, won't I make her suffer with me?"
Yan Shu nodded: "I understand what brother is thinking, but you don't have to worry about the money. From now on, if you help me farm the land, I will pay you wages. A Ci also said that I will introduce you to a job that is suitable for you. When you have time, You go over with him and have a look. If you think it's good and you have enough time, you can do two jobs. I have more free time here, so you can wait until you are finished working there before you come to work here."
Yan Wen shook his head: "You are my biological sister, how much do I need to pay for working for you?"
Now there is endless rice and white-flour steamed buns at home, which are all brought to them by the younger sister. It is the right thing for the younger sister to ask him to help farm the land. As an elder brother, he has no shame in asking for the money given by his sister.
