"I'll ask first. It's hard to say whether it will work or not."

Mrs. Yang always heard her old man say how much the Su family dotes on his daughter. Now Ms. Yang knows how much she dotes on her daughter. She dares to make the final decision on big things like buying a cow. This shows how the Su family behaves at home. Favor method.

The cow seller had been listening to the two men's words. He felt that Su Yu was just telling lies and didn't believe it at all.

"Uncle, just tell me, how much does your cow sell for?"

"I originally sold it for eight taels. If you buy it, I'll sell it to you for six taels."

The cow seller looked like you couldn't even afford it. Su Yu was happy. He said this himself.

"Six taels is just six taels, I want you cow."

At this time, the cattle seller didn't think what Su Yu said was true.

"Okay, here's the money, take it out first and let me take a look."

Su Yu took out his wallet and took out six taels of silver.

"What a coincidence. I brought six taels of silver with me when I went out today. Uncle, please don't regret it."

The cow seller was really dumbfounded now. He said the words himself, so he couldn't take them back as soon as he said them. He would regret it so much.

"Girl, if you buy the cow back and you're not afraid of your adults beating you, you'd better go home so that your adults don't come looking for me again later."

"Do you want to regret it and don't want to sell it? If you regret it, then regret it. How come there are so many words?"

The people nearby who watched the whole process also spoke up to help.

"That's right, if you don't want to sell, you don't want to sell. How come there are so many excuses."

The others looked at the fun and looked down upon Su Yu, which completely angered the cattle seller.

He was actually looked down upon by a little girl.

"Okay, I'll take the money, and you can take the cattle away."

When Su Yu was living at the modern grandma's house, the family next door specialized in raising cattle. She also liked to stroll there and play when she had nothing to do. Over time, she also heard a lot about how to choose cattle and what kind of cattle are good. Still know. But Su Yu felt very guilty when he wanted to take advantage of the cow.

At that time, there was nothing that could be done to stop Su Yu from buying the cow. Now the cow had been bought. Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Yang had no choice but to step forward on her own. Her family also raised cows, which were young and quite docile, but she didn't care at all. Not afraid.

"Let's go, let's see how your father handles you later."

Su Yu chuckled.

"Don't worry, Grandma Yang. My father is reluctant to talk about me."

"Your parents are spoiling you like this. How will you live your life if you marry someone else?"

Yang was very worried. She had to talk to the old man when she got back. Let the old man talk about Su Laoer and his wife. This is not the way to pamper a daughter. Just six taels of silver were fished out like this. Which girl would bring him when he came to town? Six taels of silver, even the daughter of a landlord's family does not have such a thing.

In fact, what Yang didn't know was that Su Yu carried more than six taels. She had always known that eggs should not be put in one basket, especially in ancient times when there were many pickpockets. Although she felt that pickpockets would not target a little country girl like her. , but be careful not to make a big mistake. Put the money on your body in three places. The one with the most money was in my purse. By coincidence, it was exactly six taels.

What if I bought an ox but didn't have an ox cart? So I just bought another ox cart and spent a tael of silver.

When Mrs. Yang saw Su Yu taking out a tael of silver from her shoe, she didn't know what to say. The little girl was very clever and knew where to put the silver. How much money did the Su family give their daughter?

Old Man Yu saw two people driving an ox cart and felt a little disappointed. He guessed that the Su family bought the ox cart and the village chief's family already owned it. With the bullock cart, the Su family will not ride on him next time they come to town. But when I think about the ducks I got from the Su family, I don't feel dissatisfied. After all, looking at the Su family's situation, it's only a matter of time before they buy a bullock cart.

"Girl Su, your grandma Yang picked the cow for you, right? This cow is good."

"I didn't pick this for her. This little girl picked it by herself. Don't look at her at such a young age. She knows a lot about cattle. She knows a lot more than me."

Old man Yu was stunned. The girl from the Su family chose it herself, so she really couldn't tell.

"Grandpa Yu, I don't know how to drive a bullock cart. You have to watch me when I go back. Don't let me drive into the ditch."

"Are you going back in a hurry?"

"Yes, you have to learn early and late, so why not do it now?"

Su Yu's hands-on ability is relatively strong, and she feels annoyed when she is with her grandparents. She wants to understand the principles of everything and try it out on her own. It is precisely because of this problem that she is able to get along like a fish in water when she comes here. Otherwise, if you don't know how to do anything, you will just wait to starve to death.

On the way back, Su Yu's ox cart was in front, and Old Man Yu's ox cart was behind. The two carts were not far apart, and Old Man Yu was shouting reminders from behind if something was wrong. Previously, the Su family's father and daughter had no secrets from the villagers and gained a lot of goodwill in the village. The two women in Old Man Yu's oxcart walked slowly back home, which delayed the time of cooking dinner, but they didn't say anything.

Mrs. Yang was sitting next to Su Yu. At first, the cow went too far, so she whipped the cow to the center. If it didn't happen, she just ignored it. Later, she saw that Su Yu was driving the cow in a decent manner. It was strange that she was alive. At this age, I have never seen a woman driving a bullock cart.

When he got home, Su Yu didn't have the ability to drive the cow and the cart to the backyard. Fortunately, old man Yu followed him to help, and helped him rush to the backyard and tie it to a wooden stake.

Su Yu thanked her sweetly, and after sending the person away, she started to get busy. It was getting late today, and if she didn't hurry up, she wouldn't be able to make dinner for them when they came back later.

Due to time constraints, Su Yu planned to make a pot of stewed rice. He would first soak the rice, shred the purchased pork belly, peel and dice two potatoes, add the beans picked at home, and add a little bacon. , after the pot is hot, dig out a tablespoon of lard in the oil can. After the oil is hot, stir-fry the pork belly and bacon until fragrant. Then add the potatoes and beans and stir-fry, and finally sprinkle with seasonings. Put the vegetables on a plate, put the soaked rice into the pot, spread the vegetables evenly on the rice grains, and finally cover the pot lid, sealing the gaps with a cloth.

Then boil a pot of egg drop soup in the small pot next to it. It's a pity that there are no tomatoes in this era. It would be better to add some to taste.

When the meal was almost ready, the family of three also came back.

"Father, mother, you are back, hurry up and eat, I have already prepared it."

Su Yu served everyone a large bowl of rice, poured the egg drop soup into a basin, brought it to the table, and then scooped out a small bowl of soup for each person.

"I went to town and came back late today. I made stewed rice before I had time to cook. I made do with it."

A family of three looks at the meal with vegetables, meat and eggs in front of them. This is called making do with it. So what did they eat before?

Mrs. Lian looked at the shiny dishes and remembered the oil at home. She pretended to go to the stove to get something and took a look at it. She was immediately heartbroken. She had used the oil to make this meal for almost ten days. amount.

Although life is getting better now, Lian's frugality has not changed. She makes cooking as simple as possible and puts in as little oil as possible. Eating the food cooked by her daughter, Lian feels a pain in her heart. She doesn't even eat the food in front of her. Fragrant.

Su Yu pretended not to see his mother's expression, and finally understood why her mother didn't let her cook. Su Yu believes that money earned should be spent, and he should not abuse his mouth if he loses anything.
