Chapter 243 Lemon Tree, New Year
As for the following question, what does the disappearance of two living people have to do with her, Shen Li?
Eight poles can't hit it, okay?
The two men were awakened by the hit on the road, and then fainted from the pain, repeating this several times. When they were fully awake, they found themselves in a deep mountain forest.
The two of them hugged each other, trembling all over, looking at the tall and dense trees around them, and had no idea which direction to get out of the mountain.
Moreover, the two men listened to the noise behind them and slowly turned around. The smell of blood on their bodies seemed to attract large beasts.
When the two men saw a somewhat thin tiger, they met the tiger's fierce gaze, rolled their eyes, and fainted directly. This saved trouble.
What followed was that Shen Li was not paying attention. She had already wandered around the mountains. The main purpose of her visit this time was to find some fruit trees, the most important of which were lemon trees. It would be great if she could find them.
It’s not that I didn’t ask in the flower and tree market, but lemon trees are not ornamental and the fruit is too sour, so no one would plant them, so I had to spend time looking for one myself.
During the period, I saw two honey nests, which were directly stored in the space. Maybe I will make fruit tea next summer. Honey is something that the more the better.
Well, there is still honey in the space. I can make some honey grapefruit tea when I have time.
Today's main purpose was not to hunt, so I didn't focus on the prey. After wandering around the village for an hour, I finally found two lemon trees.
Call ~
He carefully examined the tree several times, from top to bottom and from left to right, and confirmed that it was a lemon tree before he began to dig into the space.
Seeing that it was getting late and having found what she wanted, Shen Li hurried back home.
The clothes she was wearing were stained with grass and dirt, so she changed into a white satin brocade jacket with lotus flowers, and a skirt of the same color, embroidered with some patterns.
Looking through the bronze mirror, he saw that his hair was not messy, so he was too lazy to comb it and walked towards the front yard.
The weather is good today, but there is also a cold wind. Fortunately, the hall is big enough and there are not many guests, so there is enough space for everyone to sit.
This time, with the help of the servants bought by Shen Li, cooking this meal was an easy task.
"Ali is here."
Shen Li greeted them with a faint smile on her face, but there was still a slight sense of distance.
Shen Zhenyuan looked at the girl who was growing up to be more and more outstanding, and sighed that it had been many generations since their Shen family had produced such a beautiful young person.
It’s a pity that Ali is a woman, otherwise she would have achieved a lot in her life.
"Fourth Grandpa, you look much healthier."
Shen Zhenyuan: "Yes, now I don't have to worry about anything, not even the family matters. The burden on Fourth Grandpa has suddenly been lightened."
Although he said it lightly, Shen Li still caught a hint of regret in his eyes.
Before Shen Li could say anything, she saw her sister-in-law coming out with the child in her arms. She showed the child to everyone and quickly took the child back into the house.
It’s cold now and children shouldn’t be exposed to the wind. It would be bad if they catch a cold. It’s also difficult to use medicine for such young children.
The meal was served on time at noon, and steaming hot dishes were placed on the table.
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui were bringing Shen Jingyuan to entertain people. Shen Li never liked such occasions, so she walked into the house first and sat at the same table with her sister-in-law and others.
A charcoal brazier had been placed in the room before, so it was quite warm. There were clearly a few familiar female relatives there, including Yun Niang, Shen Xiaoya, and the two aunts of the Shen family. In addition, Shen Lin and Li Qiaolan were also there, so it was quite lively.
The food on the table included chicken, duck, fish, pork and mutton, which was very rich. Everyone ate and talked. Shen Li ate the food in front of her and said a few words from time to time.
Little boy Shen Mochi was very well behaved. He was sleeping soundly in the cradle at the back without crying or making any noise.
The meal lasted until the end of noon. After staying at home for a while, Shen Li took her third brother to Qingxi County.
There was still sunshine at noon, but now the weather has become gloomy, with dark clouds in the sky. It looks like it is going to snow again.
Soon it was halfway through the day and Xu put up a sign saying that the store would be closed the next day. There were still quite a lot of people in the store, so the two men parked the carriage directly to the back door and entered the store from there.
First, he took the key to open the warehouse and took inventory. As soon as he opened the warehouse, he saw Bai Yaobei's New Year gifts, two pounds of pork for each person, a bag of cakes, candies, melon seeds, peanuts, and some cloth that had been divided into men's and women's according to the color.
After making sure that there were not too many ingredients left in the store, Shen Li returned to the third floor. On the way, she saw the waiter and maids running back and forth, busy as hell. Even the people in the backyard who were responsible for baking cakes were busy as hell.
After returning to his office, he took out the red envelopes and silver coins he had just bought on the street, and wrapped one or two taels of silver in each red envelope. It was the New Year, and he wanted good luck.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened and goose-feather-like snowflakes came quietly. The originally busy half-day work gradually came to a halt. Shen Li went downstairs only after they had almost finished cleaning.
Bai Yao has already taken out the New Year gifts and piled them on the table. There are red auspicious characters on them, which makes the atmosphere a bit like the New Year.
"Alas, Boss, it's such a loss to close the business for so many days!"
Shen Li: "There's nothing we can do about it. Just look at which shops are open during those days."
"That's true."
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's distribute the New Year gifts and then arrange the personnel."
"okay."
Bai Yao originally wanted to send it directly, but then she thought about whether she should say a few words at this time, so she looked at Shen Li, but the latter looked away directly.
Bai Yao: Okay, she understands!
Since the boss didn't want to go, she, as the shopkeeper, had no choice but to go ahead.
After talking for a while, Shen Li distributed the New Year gifts neatly. She handed the red envelope to Yang Gui and motioned him to distribute it.
Next, a few servants were arranged to live in the store. Although it was a holiday, the store still needed someone to guard it.
Next, Shen Li brought these people back to Daohua Village. When they came in the afternoon, they had two horse-drawn carriages, and then they borrowed another carriage from Chunhui Road. With three carriages, they managed to squeeze back.
When we returned to Daohua Village, it was already dark and it was snowing. Even though we had torches, our speed was still slowed down.
When I got home, the door was open and Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan were standing outside waiting.
"Ali, next time if you can't get back before dark, come back the next day. Don't rush."
Shen Changshan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reminded his daughter that it was snowing and dark, what if something happened?
