Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

Chapter 207: So Sunny

I want to taste the charm of this gentleman's dish myself.

As a result, the number of people buying bitter melons increased rapidly, and on the second day there were many more people, obviously servants from various households, who came to buy bitter melons.

After buying it and tasting it, I found that this vegetable was just as the rumor had said. It was true! There is such a unique vegetable in the world, bitter gourd. Scholars and scholars called it the gentleman's vegetable and it began to become popular.

"The sales of this bitter melon are pretty good." Seeing such a good response to the bitter melon, Su Mu finally felt relieved.

"Yes." Du Erniang replied.

At the beginning, the two were worried whether people would accept bitter food. After all, people now pursue sweet tastes and rarely eat bitter vegetables.

But the response this time was very good. Not only scholars and literati bought it, but even ordinary people chose to come back and repurchase it after eating this vegetable.

"It's been a bit busy these past two days, so I need to worry more about you, Second Mother." Su Mu reminded.

"This is my job." Du Erniang replied respectfully. She was very happy living here, even if she was busy with things in the shop, she was still happy.

"Then I'll go back first." Bitter melon sales are so good, it's time to pick the bitter melons in the field.

Sumu rode Jinzi home, the sun was shining brightly on the road.

It's time to get a sun hat, the sun is too strong.

"Grandpa!" Su Mu dismounted and walked into the yard and shouted.

"Mumu is back?"

"Little sister, you're back!"

The family members all went over to greet them happily.

"Mumu, you've worked hard. How are you?" Several people went into the house together. The house was very cool, which was obviously different from the temperature outside.

“Yes, the response to bitter melon is particularly good.”

"Little sister, here is some freshly made herbal tea. I'll bring it to you!" Su An ran out and brought back a large pot of herbal tea.

Su Mu poured a bowl and drank a large bowl of herbal tea.

Then he wiped his mouth and said, "Ah, it feels so good to drink the herbal tea."

The temperature outside was very hot, and I was riding in the sun. It was so hot that I felt like I was about to be dried out.

"Look at your little face, it's so red from the sun." Wang touched Su Mu's smiling face with heartache.

"Mom, that's right. The sun outside is so strong." Su Mu said coquettishly.

"Then grandpa will weave a sun hat for you." Su Dingguo said. He couldn't bear to see his granddaughter being sunburned like this.

"Mother is sewing a circle of gauze on your sun hat. It will be similar to a veil hat, and it can also block the sun and prevent sandstorms." Wang patted Su Mu's shoulder.

"That's great! Thank you, Grandpa and Mom." This way she won't have to worry about the sun when riding a horse in the future.

He did what he said. After resting, Su Dingguo brought into the house a lot of bamboo strips to weave hats. Soon, the prototype of the sun hat came out with the flying of his fingers.

"Grandpa, you are so awesome."

This bamboo sun hat is very fine, and Su Dingguo also polished it carefully to prevent the bamboo from having protruding thorns that might accidentally prick you.

"Hahaha, of course. Back then, working in the fields depended entirely on grandpa's skill. It could block a lot of sun."

In the past, I didn’t have any money, so when I needed it, I would go up the mountain to cut some bamboos and weave them myself. My skills were not very good at the beginning, but over the years, my skills have improved dramatically.

"Grandpa, are the bitter melons in our field ripe?"

"They are ripe, and many of them are ready to be picked." Su Dingguo said while busy with the weaving in her hands.

"We can prepare to pick the bitter melons. The sales of bitter melons are still very good recently." Su Mu was also trying to weave a hat with his hands.

"Little sister, I also saw an orange bitter melon."

"Oh! That means this bitter melon is old."

In fact, according to common sense, it should be ripe. The green bitter gourd picked now is an unripe fruit. The ripe fruit will turn orange-red and will no longer taste bitter. Instead, it will taste sweet. Inside the orange flesh are red seeds.

However, the unripe, common green bitter melon is generally more nutritious, and most of the fruits sold are green.

"We have to hurry up and pick them." Su Dingguo said, thinking about the size of the bitter melons and how many people would be needed to pick them.

"Our bitter melon, those literati and scholars even gave it a nice name."

"What is it?" Several people leaned over to listen curiously.

"They all call it gentleman's dish." Su Mu said.

"This is a good name!" Several people praised.

"How did this name come about?" Su Dingguo stopped what he was doing and looked at Su Mu in confusion.

"Grandpa, let me tell you." Su Mu told his family everything that happened in the vegetable shop.

The family members were so happy to hear this story that they couldn't stop grinning. With the spread of this story, the sales and reputation of bitter melon would definitely be better. Many people would follow and admire these knowledgeable people, and when they heard the praise for this dish, many people would want to eat the same one.

Once the demand increases, the sales of bitter melon will be better, and many people will try to open up the market.

As they chatted, the semi-finished sun hats were already woven.

"Mumu, come here and try it to see if it fits." Su Dingguo handed over a woven wide-brimmed hat.

"Yeah." Su Mu put the hat on his head. It was a perfect size and it brought a cool breeze from the bamboo.

"Grandpa, this is the right size, very good."

"That's fine." Su Dingguo smiled kindly and continued to weave the sun hat in his hand, preparing to weave some for his grandchildren.

"Come, Mumu, I'll sew some yarn for you."

It can be used to block wind and sand, and it will look even better with some decorations. She has seen other people's sun hats before, which are particularly beautiful. Those young ladies wear sun hats as decorations. Although she doesn't know whether they can protect against the sun, they are indeed very beautiful.

"Okay." Su Mu sat down next to his mother happily.

Wang's hands are also very skillful. The tulle, bead curtains, and tassels make the sunshade hat a complete work of art once it is finished.

"Mom, this is great! So beautiful!" Before I could even see it with my eyes, the hat in my mother's hand had already been made.

"Here, of course Mumu's hat must be made beautifully for you." Mother smiled dotingly.

"Mumu is trying it now."

Su Mu tried the hat on his head. The brim was very wide, and the shadow it cast could cover his face and neck. The tulle surrounding it would not block his vision. The tulle in front could be opened to both sides, providing a clearer view.

"This works so well!" Su Mu ran to the sun in the yard and tried it out. The sun didn't shine on his face, neck, and shoulders at all.

"This silly child." Wang stood at the door with a smile on her face, watching Su Mu running around in the yard trying on her new hat.
