Raspberries have various medicinal values. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that they have the effect of solidifying focus, nourishing the kidneys, and brightening the eyes. Modern studies have found that they contain rich nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and a lot of fiber.

Raspberries are rich in salicylic acid. It had the effect of analgesic, heat relieving, and preventing blood from clotting, which could help prevent thrombosis. Therefore, drinking a moderate amount of berry wine was beneficial to protecting the heart and preventing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Moreover, it could treat some illnesses that cause bone pain. It was also beneficial for rheumatism, headaches, and vision. It was suitable for some old people to take.

If she could successfully make the raspberry wine, would she have to worry about not earning money in the future?

“Sure!” Seeing Song Xi’s confident expression, Zhou Yi smiled faintly. She was getting livelier and more energetic.

After lunch, Song Xi was “chased” back to her room for a nap by Zhou Yi early in the morning. He did not even let her do such a small thing as washing the dishes. Song Xi was just about to fall asleep when she heard Zhou Yi call her. She could only get up and go out. She saw Zhou Yi standing under the osmanthus tree waving at her.

Song Xi rubbed her eyes and walked over in confusion. “Brother Yi, why did you call me?”

“Don’t you want to wash your hair? Sit down and I’ll wash it for you. I’ll be careful and help you avoid the wound so that it won’t be inflamed and infected.” Zhou Yi pulled Song Xi over and made her sit down. Then, he carefully washed her hair. Song Xi didn’t dare to move. She lowered her head and felt the comfort of hot water flowing through her scalp and his fingers weaving through her hair.

Song Xi closed her eyes comfortably. Soon, her chin rested on her knees and she fell asleep. She did not know what happened after that.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi smiled gently. After washing her hair, he used a towel made of cotton to gently wipe her wet hair. When her hair was half dry, he picked her up from the chair and sent her back to her room.

He laid her horizontally on the bed, her hair just long enough to hang down the edge of the bed.

Zhou Yi squatted on the edge of the bed and looked at Song Xi with a burning gaze. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. She was really like a child, so cute.

By the time Song Xi woke up, several hours had passed. When she smelled the faint fragrance coming from her hair, she could not help but smile. Zhou Yi was a really considerate domestic expert!

She did not know how he was doing outside because she had never gone out. However, she knew that he was not bad at washing clothes and cooking. Moreover, the house was clean and did not look like a man’s house.

In the eyes of modern people, this man was really not bad. He was someone she could entrust her life to.

If she could be cared for by such a man, she would definitely be very happy!

Song Xi inserted the latch on the door of the room and flashed into the supermarket. She sat in front of the mirror and tidied her hair. She first applied a layer of hair oil to make her hair smoother so that her scalp would not hurt when she combed her hair.

After tidying herself up, Song Xi quickly went to check the staff canteen. The staff canteen in the supermarket was not big because there were not many employees in the supermarket. There were less than 30 people in two shifts, so there was naturally no need for a big canteen.

There were ten dining tables that were more than a meter long in the staff canteen that was less than 30 square meters. The table in the corner was filled with various seasonings for the employees to add freely. Smelling the fragrance of those seasonings, Song Xi came to the ordering window and looked inside. There was a lot of delicious food inside. She swallowed hard. She really wanted to eat it!

However, she still had to wait a little longer, lest something happened to her body again. That would not be worth it.

Hearing a knock on the door outside, Song Xi did not check the warehouse and came out of the supermarket. She checked her appearance in the small mirror and found that there was nothing wrong, so she went out to open the door.

It was Zhou Xiao Shu and Zhou Xiao Hua. The two children were dirty all over, but there was a bright smile on their faces. It seemed like the two of them had picked up a lot of conches today!

“Xiao Shu, Xiao Hua, come in quickly.” Afraid that others would see them and cause unnecessary trouble, Song Xi quickly called them in. When the two children came in with baskets, Song Xi quickly closed the door and plugged in the latch, afraid that someone would come uninvited.

“Xiao Shu, Xiao Hua, sit under the osmanthus tree and rest for a while. I’ll get you some water to drink.” Song Xi instructed them to sit down and rest before she quickly ran to the central room to pour water for the two children and took a few biscuits. She came to the courtyard and saw that the two children were still standing there cautiously. She was a little helpless. “Didn’t I tell you to sit down and rest? Why are you still standing there foolishly?”

“Aunt, our clothes are covered in mud. We won’t sit.” Zhou Xiao Shu’s muddy hands hung by his sides as he looked at Song Xi in embarrassment, afraid that Song Xi would despise them for being dirty.

“Go wash your hands by the well first. After you’re done, come over and drink water and eat some biscuits.” Song Xi placed the bamboo cup and biscuits on the table under the osmanthus tree and carried the two baskets they had brought back to the house. They were too heavy for her to carry them both in at once, so she could only make two separate trips.

When she returned to the house, Song Xi pushed aside the layer of grass covering the basket and saw the egg-sized conch inside. It had been washed clean without any soil. Thinking about how delicious stir-fried conch was, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Song Xi placed the two baskets of conches into the supermarket and weighed them with the electronic scale in the supermarket. The two baskets weighed a total of 50 catties. She found a storage box for clothes and poured the conches in before coming out with the empty baskets.

Zhou Xiao Shu and Zhou Xiao Hua had already washed their hands and faces and were sitting under the osmanthus tree drinking water and eating biscuits. Their faces were filled with satisfaction. Seeing Song Xi come out, an unnatural look flashed across their faces. They had never eaten such delicious biscuits, so they ate quickly and anxiously. They did not know if Song Xi would laugh at them.

“Xiao Shu, Xiao Hua, I’ve just weighed it. It’s a total of 50 catties of conch. We agreed back then that it would be a cent for five catties of conch. Seeing your small bodies bear such a heavy weight, I really feel a little apologetic, so I think I’ll exchange it with you for a cent a catty. Is that okay?” Song Xi knew how ridiculous the difference was, so she couldn’t bear it. She felt like she had treated these two simple children harshly.

Besides, the conches could only be picked up for a while at most, and they could not keep picking them up. It did not cost her much to buy them.

“Little Aunt, this…” Zhou Xiao Shu stood up in surprise with an incredulous expression. “Aunt, you’re at a disadvantage. There are many conches in the fields. They’re worthless.”
