"It's just Miss Su. Our boss wants to buy a recipe for hatching eggs. I don't know if the Su family has any plans to sell it, but our boss also said that if your family doesn't plan to sell it, he won't force it."
Those words were indeed the words of Taihe Loudong’s family. The Su family’s craftsmanship can be passed down from generation to generation. When the little girl in front of him grows up, he believes that the Su family in front of him will never stop here, no matter how far it can go. Maybe, the egg-hatching recipe works, but it's a big deal. When he came to buy Su's prescription, he felt a little unkind, but his boss said he wouldn't force it. Shopkeeper Niu was relieved when he found out.
Su Yu had already known the purpose of Shopkeeper Niu's visit, and had already thought about the recipe for hatching eggs.
"I can sell the prescription to Taihe Building, but I have a condition."
"Miss Su, please tell me, no matter what the conditions are, as long as our Taihe Building can do it, we will definitely do it."
"I want five hundred taels for the recipe. Shopkeeper Niu also knows that my price is very fair."
"Miss Su, the price you charge is indeed not high."
Mr. Su's hands were shaking a little. Five hundred taels of silver was not high, so how much would it be? But he knew that he was a stupid person, so he tried his best not to interrupt.
"My condition is that in the future in Xingyang Mansion, no matter what happens to my Su family, as long as it is not a crime and violates the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, Taihelou must help me five times. This is My terms."
In the past, her family only cooperated with Taihe Building. If something happened, whether Taihe Building would help or not, the Su family would have nothing to say. If they helped her, they would still owe Taihe Building a favor. Now that she has put the matter out in the open, when the time comes they will only have a relationship of interest, and there will be no favors involved. What she is most afraid of is owing favors to others. She had considered asking Taihelou to agree five times, thinking that she would have grown up by then. She believed that when she grew up, she would no longer need Taihelou's help and would be able to stand alone. If she hadn't been like this now The assistant is almost eleven years old and is just a half-grown girl. Su Yu will not even ask for this condition, but will change it to something else.
Shopkeeper Niu agreed without thinking.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. The ducks raised by the Su family are all sold to us in Taihe Building. On the surface, others have regarded your Su family as members of our Taihe Building. No one will dare to offend you."
"Okay, my family will try to finish harvesting the rice within the next few days. The shopkeeper doesn't need to send anyone here. It's just that the instructions for hatching eggs are not clearly written on the paper. The shopkeeper will have to send someone to learn it. In the meantime, people will be here. Let’s stay at my house first, and the shopkeeper also knows that my house is not very spacious, so we can only come to two people at most.”
Shopkeeper Niu didn't expect this. He didn't have anyone available at the moment, so he had to write to Fucheng and ask Manager Fang to send two useful people over.
"Okay, I know everything, so I won't bother you. I'll visit you another day."
Knowing that the Su family was busy, Shopkeeper Niu got up and left after the official conversation, leaving five hundred taels of silver behind. He agreed that the two people who came to learn would come with 20,000 duck eggs.
The family was busy now, and the father and daughter did not try to persuade him to stay. They sent Shopkeeper Niu away, and Su Yu took the 500 taels of silver directly into his arms.
"Dad, I'll keep the money first and give it to mom tonight."
"No, our family has enough money to build a house. You can keep these five hundred taels for yourself."
Su Yu smiled happily and said nothing else.
"Dad, go to the village and ask who can spare some manpower to help our family with work. Try to harvest all the rice in these two days. The duck eggs will arrive in two days, and our family will be too busy."
"I'll go to the village and ask. You go talk to your mother and elder brother."
"Then I'll go to the fields first."
The father and daughter separated at the door of the house. Su Yu was holding a basket. In the basket was the mung bean porridge cooked last night. It was frozen in the water. It was just right to eat it cool. Erhu followed Su Yu with his tail swung. I was panting while running.
When they arrived at the field, Su Yu shouted to the two people who were still working: "Mom, brother, come here to drink mung bean porridge!"
Mrs. Lian responded, and the two of them cut enough of the bundles at hand, and then came over with their sickles behind their belts.
Yu Laoba, who was working in the field next to him, was very envious. He looked at them, they were also working, and they had mung bean porridge for lunch, and their guy who knew how to deliver water hadn't even come yet.
"Cui Ya only gave me some water, but she hasn't come yet. Look at the girl from the Su family. She really can't do anything."
Listening to her man's nagging, Ms. Liu rolled her eyes.
"If you have the strength, why don't you work more? Cui Ya is only a little older and a few years younger than the daughter of the Su family. She is already diligent enough. What else do you want?"
Mrs. Liu thought to herself that the daughter of the Su family was notoriously lazy in the village. How could she compare with her own daughter? The head of the family might have his eyes blurred by shit.
"You damn bitch, how can you still be justified in having two girls?"
Mrs. Liu threw the sickle to the ground.
"Bah! You heartless person, don't think I don't know. You and Widow Wang at the entrance of the village have been flirting with each other all day long. You want someone to give you a son. Go ahead and dream. You will raise a son for someone else and you won't even know about it. I What's wrong with giving birth to two girls? If your mother hadn't refused to call a doctor on the day I gave birth, I would have hurt my body. If you want to blame it, it's your mother's fault. You can't blame me!"
The three of them were drinking mung bean soup under the big tree while watching Yu Laoba and his wife arguing not far away. Su Yu was used to the noise in the village, so they didn't think it was anything. It was strange that they couldn't hear it someday.
"Mom, just now the cattle shopkeeper came to our house to buy a recipe for hatching eggs. I have already sold it to him."
Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "Sold for five hundred taels of silver, I will keep it for my mother when I get back."
When Mrs. Lian heard that the prescription had been sold for five hundred taels, her hands shook and she almost screamed. Fortunately, she remembered that she was outside now, so she held it back.
"I'll leave the money right there with you, just keep it."
After hearing the five hundred taels, Su Sheng didn't know how he should feel now, so he simply didn't think about it. He didn't care about these things at home anyway, and silently drank the mung bean soup from the bowl. My sister's cooking skills are getting better and better. The soup she makes tastes much better than my mother's, and the dishes she cooks are also delicious.
After the three of them had finished drinking the mung bean soup and before they started working, Su Laoer came over with seven or eight men from the village. When the farming season is busy, every family is busy, but I heard that the Su family paid thirty cents a day, and they were rushing to take back the rice in the fields. Today, half a day counts as fifteen cents. The family did not have much land but had many sons, so they gave it to them. One of our sons came to work in the Su family. The Su family's work was not much and he was in a hurry. He would have finished it in two days. It was okay for him to work slower.
Half of the villagers who came brought their own sickles, and they started working as soon as they came up. The work was in full swing. Those who cut the rice cut the rice, those who got on the truck got on the truck, and those who pulled it to the drying field. In half a day, the rice of the Su family was cut off. Most of it can be cut tomorrow at this speed. The next step is to thresh the grain and dry it, and finally bag it. Because the weather is good, the millet dries quickly. After three days of busy work, the Su family's millet has been put into the warehouse. The fastest family in the village.
People in the village talked about everything. Among them, most of the women envied Mrs. Lian, saying that she married a good man and that her son was obedient and sensible. But how could they know what kind of life Lian had before.
