"You want me to make a millstone for you?" Ye Xuan was still carrying the fur of some unknown animal. The thick smell of blood was unbearable. He was also holding a black bow in his hand, which was smooth.

Hearing Jiaoniang's request for him to make the millstones, Ye Xuan frowned as he looked extremely angry. He asked Jiaoniang, "Who told you that I know how to make the millstones?"

Every time Jiaoniang spoke to him, he would put on a face as if others owed him dozens of silver taels. If they couldn't do it, they would just reject her. Why would they question her so fiercely? The more Jiaoniang thought about it, the more wronged she became. She angrily went back to her room and said, "If you don't do it, I'll find someone else to do it for me."

She had been here for more than ten days, was there anything that let him down? Why did he have to do this to her? Jiaoniang even lost two drops of golden bean. Ye Xuan was a man. Because of his appearance, or because he helped her that day, Jiaoniang always had some reliance on him, but he was not the person she knew.

Jiaoniang made up her mind. It was better to stay away from Ye Xuan in the future, so that he wouldn't stir up her emotions.

Jiaoniang was woken up by the sound of knocking on the water well. She put on her coat and looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky and there was a figure at the well. It was unknown what he was knocking on.

Could it be that someone was trying to destroy her well? Jiaoniang hurried out and stood in the yard asking, "Who, what are you doing?"

That person did not make a sound. Jiaoniang's eyes, accustomed to the brightness, also saw clearly that person. It was clearly Ye Xuan, who she wanted to stay away from before going to bed!

The man's upper body was naked, with his back facing Jiaoniang. He lifted his arm, and the scar that ran from his neck to the small of his back was like a black dragon, moving up and down with his movements. The late spring night was very cool, but Ye Xuan was sweating. The moonlight shined on his bronze skin. Jiaoniang watched as the sweat slid down his shoulder blades and into his belt, disappearing into his lower body.

Jiaoniang suddenly forgot about the ethics and morals that this era had bestowed upon her. She lifted her foot and walked towards Ye Xuan.

Jiaoniang had already sent Ye Xuan's thoughts to hell. She just wanted to get closer to him. Maybe only on a good night like the moon would she be able to see through a bit of a man's strict heart.

Standing half a meter away from Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan bent down and lifted up the boulder that had a diameter of one meter. He saw Jiaoniang wearing stockings and dragging her shoes.

White as moonlight, soft as tofu. With just a glance, Ye Xuan carved that white mark into his heart as if he had seen it countless times.

Picking up his tools to cut the stone surface, Ye Xuan looked serious. Jiaoniang couldn't bear to disturb him and stood to the side. She couldn't help but ask, "You're not willing to do it for me, right?"

What she had said was partly coquettish, partly grumbling, partly complacent, and also partly feminine.

If I don't want to do it for you, why would I do it all night?

Ye Xuan's actions stopped and his ears turned red. He hated himself for doing too many things, but he just didn't want to see Jiaoniang begging him for something that would fail.

The man swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice low and sweaty and sexy. "I need money."

Jiaoniang looked at him infatuatedly and reached out her hand to touch his adam's apple. Ye Xuan quickly stopped her and angrily said, "What are you doing?"

"What did you eat? Why is the drum so high? " Jiaoniang pretended to be innocent. Her eyes were wide and misty, as if she would cry if Ye Xuan said another word.

Ye Xuan lowered his head. Lin Xiucai's body was weak, and he was developing like a little chicken. It was possible that he did not have a Adam's apple. However, wasn't it a bit too much for her to touch?

"There is a difference between males and females, so sister-in-law should pay more attention!" After throwing that sentence, Ye Xuan picked up his tools and continued to work, but his body was still stiff and he kept hitting the air. Jiaoniang was smiling like a kitten with her back to him.

"I heard from Madam Lin that Uncle Ye is also a millstone?"

"He's already gone. When he was here, he was the strongest person in a hundred mile radius who used stones to make things."

"Wow, can you do that too?"

"When he died, I was still young. I studied all of these crafts by myself. At most, I only knew some basics."

The two of them asked and answered questions, getting along well. The moon was in the east and the temperature had dropped. Jiaoniang hugged herself and shivered. She came out wearing only a thin coat. The wind made her feel as if she was not wearing any clothes at all.

Ye Xuan stopped what he was doing and got up to turn the millstone. "It's done, I'll do the rest of the millstone tomorrow. I'll go back to sleep first, sister also go back earlier."

With that, he picked up his tools and hurriedly left. Jiaoniang smiled. Wasn't it just to see her cold so that she could return to her room early to rest? He even made a circle.

She was the first one to not believe that Ye Xuan didn't have any feelings for her, but when did he have any interest in her?

There was a bark from the village, and soon all the dogs in the village started barking. Jiaoniang yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, Jiaoniang woke up early to cook a big pot of wild vegetable congee, adding a thin slice of pork. Madam Lin made a few big cakes, this was to give her family's yard builder breakfast.

After breakfast, they mixed the yellow mud from the yellow mud village with the glutinous rice juice and beat it for a long time until the muddy water became sticky and thick. Then, they started to pave the way.

Ye Xuan also continued to beat his millstone. He estimated that he would be able to start making tofu by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

With a bunch of masters at home working, Jiaoniang followed Madam Lin to her house to work together with Xiu Zhen. At noon, they would cook and bring the dishes over to her, and the workers would continue working after eating.

The villagers saw Jiaoniang's actions clearly, and they were jealous of her in their hearts. Lin Xiucai had casually read a tofu recipe in a book, and yet she had already dug it up. She had earned a lot of gold.

When someone praised Jiaoniang, someone mocked her mother-in-law. At first, she was afraid that Jiaoniang would take more than ten acres of land from her home, yet she could think of such a way to harm Jiaoniang. But now, don't you think Jiaoniang's life is better than before? He was also missing the burden of an evil grandma.

When the villagers had nothing better to do, they would always talk about it. Today, you would stick together and tomorrow, she would stick together. As they talked, Lin Lanzhi would hear them. It didn't sound right.

"Then, Little Wumianzi will really earn that much money?" Lin Lanzhi frowned, she wanted nothing more than to rush to Jiaoniang's house and tear off her face. When Qing'er was still alive, why didn't she take out this tiresome tofu recipe? She took it out right after Qing'er died, who knows if it was because the thief told her!

"If you don't believe me, come with me to her yard and have a look. There's a square slate floor, and you even dug a well and made a millstone. You're planning to grind tofu tomorrow! She even asked Old Third and his wife for help, saying that they wanted to give the tofu recipe away. No matter what, you are still her mother, so not giving it to you and giving it to an outsider would be unjustifiable! "

The person who said this was Lin Liu-Li's mother. On that day, she was dragged back by her son, but it could be said that she had lost all her face. Jiaoniang really wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood, and she cursed Jiaoniang at home while Jiaoniang lived better and better every day.
