After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 548: Can you make wine?

Aunt Xiao saw that it was getting late: "Go wash up, I'll look after them first. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone tomorrow, so I'll let Rouyue stay and help you."

Xia Wanniang: "Mom, why don't you stay and help me."

"If I can avoid taking care of a child, I wouldn't want to." Aunt Xiao blinked her eyes mischievously.

Xia Wanniang knew that she was joking. She actually preferred working in the fields and felt that life was more fulfilling that way.

The next day, she took out the stroller from the space and decided to take her three children for a walk in the fields.

Xia Wanniang prepared food for the ancestors, and then she, Rouyue and the three children went to the vineyard outside.

Now they could see the people helping in the vineyards, wearing hats and squatting in front of the grape trellises planting grape seedlings.

Xia Wanniang found Xiao Zilin and asked Rouyue to find a shady place for the three children to play, while she rolled up her sleeves to help plant the grape seedlings.

Xiao Zilin was still stunned when he saw her: "Mom, why are you here?"

"I stay at home every day, I have to come out for some fresh air occasionally." As he said this, he put on gloves, picked up a shovel and started digging holes to plant seedlings.

After they have finished planting, people will come with ox carts carrying water to water the grape seedlings.

Xia Wanniang looked at the current efficiency and thought that it wouldn't take long before the vineyard would be planted.

However, she did not intend to leave the people idle, as a winery for producing wine still needed to be built.

She has already prepared the blueprints and can start construction after the grape seedlings are planted.

Xu Li brought news that the river embankment had been rebuilt, and an imperial edict also came from above saying that the national treasury did not have enough food and medicinal materials.

Xia Wanniang frowned when she saw the news. What does this mean?

Should we let her sell more? Or should we not sell more and raise the price?

Aunt Xiao looked at the content and shook her head. She really couldn't figure out what the person above meant.

Xia Wanniang could only write a letter to Xiao Chiye to ask what this meant.

Xiao Chiye quickly sent a message: wait and see, there are many epidemics outside the Great Wall now, and the countries around them are ready to take action.

Xia Wanniang narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the surrounding countries outside the Great Wall wanted to start a war at this time to swallow this piece of fat meat!

She took out a map of the area surrounding Daxia and checked it. There were mostly nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall, and most of the land was grassland and lakes, and they rarely cultivated land.

But they cover a very large area, so it is not easy to attack them.

They don't have any cities and are all nomadic people. If you attack them, you will have to chase them.

The key issue is that the other party's horses run faster than yours, and you may not be able to catch up. In such a war of attrition, the attackers are often the ones who suffer.

If they catch their breath and launch a surprise attack, we will be in great trouble.

Xia Wanniang understood that these people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture her in one fell swoop, but it was not that easy.

After realizing this, she decided not to pay any more attention to it and wait for further action from above.

The grape seedlings were finally planted, and little Xingyue began to crawl all over the ground. Now one person can no longer take care of three children.

Fortunately, the planting of the vineyard has been completed and everyone has some free time.

As for the winery, it was left to the three children to manage, with Chai Song assisting them.

Xia Wanniang would occasionally go to the village's rice fields to see how the crops were ripe.

Several villages have dug wells, so there is no need to worry too much about water.

The planted grape seedlings began to sprout tender green shoots and looked full of vitality.

Xia Wanniang wrote a letter to Xiao Chiye, asking him to send some retired veterans over, as they could not stay at the vineyard for a long time.

We can only find someone to help look after it, and it would be best if there is a family member.

Xiao Chiye didn't make her wait long before he sent the whole family over, and also sent Wan Dong and a few others over.

In late winter, when they saw the grape seedlings in the vineyard, their eyes widened in surprise: "Madam, how many grapes have you planted?"

Xia Wanniang: I haven’t actually counted it myself, some of the land is still being cultivated: “Wan Dong, you guys can make wine, right?”

Wan Dong nodded: "Yes, but I don't know if it suits your taste."

"What ingredients do you need? Just brew some and I'll give it a try." Xia Wanniang wanted to try it first.
