Su Laoer and Mrs. Lian didn't dare to ask their daughter if the food she made was really edible, let alone others.
After two days of drying in the sun, I made sure that the dried pickled vegetables on the straw mat were completely dry. I asked Zhou to pack them in bags made of waterproof tarpaulin. There were ten bags in total. Su Yu also didn't expect that he could only make ten small bags out of so many radish leaves. If the sales were low, he wouldn't be able to bear the pain of more than half a month.
When cooking in the evening, Su Yu took a small biscuit and pickled vegetables, tore off a piece from the top and put it in a basin. He scooped two ladles of boiling water from the pot and poured it into it. He didn't put anything else in, but sprinkled a little salt. You can tell whether the dried pickled vegetables are done well or not through the clear soup. When it was time to eat, Su Yu gave everyone a bowl.
"Try it and see how it tastes?"
Several people looked at the light yellow soup in the bowl and wondered how to eat it. Su Yu blew the soup bowl, took a sip and tasted it. The taste was similar to what she remembered.
Seeing that Su Yu had drunk it, and she didn't look bad at it, the three of them picked up one of them and took a small sip. The taste was a bit sour, and there was a little bit of something different in the sourness. They couldn't tell it anyway. Also acceptable.
When the servants at the table saw that all the masters had drunk, they had no taboos. Each of them filled a bowl and tasted it. They didn't like it much but they could still drink it. However, they thought that the girl had been struggling for so many days and they were afraid of selling it at a high price. It is impossible.
"Dad, let's buy some fish when we go to town tomorrow. We will cook the fish with this dry pickle at night. It will definitely taste good."
Hearing that my daughter wanted to eat fish, Su Laoer couldn't disagree.
"Okay, dad will buy it tomorrow, but why should we go to town?"
"The pickled radish cubes are almost ready. Let's take a few jars to the shop tomorrow. We can also go to Taihe Building to let Mr. Niu taste it first. If he likes it, he will buy it. This will save us the trouble of moving back and forth."
Speaking of diced radish, it has won unanimous praise from the family. It is crunchy in the mouth and has a spicy taste. Now that the weather is hot, the family has to put a plate on it every day when eating and put it in the shop to sell. It must be good.
When the three of them arrived in the town with four tanks of diced radish, they went directly to Taihe Building. When Yang Si saw that they were father and daughter, he immediately greeted them.
"Master Su, Miss Su, I haven't seen you come to town for a while."
"My family has been really busy during this period, so I haven't taken the time to come to town. How is Brother Yang doing lately?"
"It's not the same as before. What are you pulling on this bullock cart?"
No wonder Yang Si would pay attention, the four large tanks are really eye-catching.
"This is a pickle made by my family, and I want to sell it in the shop. Previously, Shopkeeper Niu said that if he makes fresh food at home, I should ask him first, so we stopped by and asked Shopkeeper Niu if he wants it."
"Miss Su's craftsmanship is beyond praise. I'm going to call the shopkeeper over."
"I brought another small jar over, just take this one and put it in."
Su Yu held a small jar in his hand, which was only the size of two fists.
"Miss Su is still thoughtful."
The father and daughter followed into Taihe Building. Li Quan stayed and watched the ox cart. Soon the ox shopkeeper came over.
Yang Si found Shopkeeper Niu. Shopkeeper Niu was originally very happy to hear that the Su family had brought fresh food to eat, but when he heard that it was pickles, his happiness faded away.
"Miss Su made fresh food again?"
"Go to the shop and bring it over and let the shopkeeper try it."
While waiting for Shopkeeper Niu, Su Yu asked the waiter in the building to get a plate and a few pairs of chopsticks. Seeing that the cattle shopkeeper had arrived, he opened the lid of the jar and poured some diced radish onto the plate.
"Try it, Mr. Niu. This is my home-made pickle."
Shopkeeper Niu picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and his eyes immediately changed. He had never been disappointed with anything made by Miss Su. This pickle tastes so good that even if the building doesn't sell it, it's not a bad idea to give each table a small plate.
“How much does Miss Su plan to sell it for per pound?
"Twenty cents per catty. Although the radish is not worth much, I put vegetable oil in it and the seasonings all cost money."
"How much did you poop today?"
"I pulled four cylinders, and each cylinder weighed a hundred pounds."
"Then you leave two jars for me. If the guests find it delicious, I will go to your house to buy it."
"no problem."
Li Quan was asked to pull the oxcart to the backyard of Taihe Building and unload two jars of pickles.
Su Yu held the four taels of silver in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The radish was really not worth much. Two large jars of pickles were sold for forty taels of silver. The total of a dozen jars was only more than thirty taels.
In the countryside, if a family grows more than 20 acres of radishes and earns a net income of more than 20 taels, they will laugh out of their dreams. If they knew what Su Yu was thinking, they would definitely be beaten up.
Su Laoer had a completely different idea. His daughter was so powerful. Even a carrot that no one wanted could be sold for so much money. He wanted to scream when he heard twenty cents a pound, but he couldn't hold it back. Normally, radishes only sell for one penny per catty. When the radishes are out in large quantities, most of them sell for one penny or two catties.
When I got to the shop, I unloaded the two large vats and placed them in a conspicuous position at the door of the shop. I also put a plate of dried radish on top. The dried radish was bright in color and smelled good. You can see it as soon as you enter the shop. Su Yu I don't have to worry about selling, but I feel like I'm losing money on this business.
"Daughter, don't you want to eat fish? Come on, let's go buy it."
When Su Yu talked about food, he immediately became energetic.
The father and daughter drove away in the bullock cart, and Li Quan stayed behind to continue looking after the store. They went to the vegetable market and bought three big fish, each weighing four or five kilograms. Now the family has more to eat, especially two martial arts practitioners. Her food intake is enough for two people in the family. What she envies most is Bai Mo. She eats so much in one meal and is still in such good shape.
"Daughter, what else do you want to eat? Let's buy some more."
"No, Dad, it's too hot to buy too much now. When Uncle Gao came to deliver the meat this morning, I ordered two big pig's trotters from him, and he will deliver them in the evening."
"Well, let's not buy it this time. Let's tell dad what you want to eat next time. Whatever you want today, we will buy it together."
"Dad, you are acting a little weird today."
Su Laoer touched Su Yu's head.
"Have you forgotten that today is your twelfth birthday? In the past, our family was not in good condition and we never celebrated your birthday. Now our family is rich. When we went out, your mother also told you what you want to buy today. Just buy whatever you want.”
Su Yu thought for a while and then remembered that today, the eighth day of June, was the original owner's birthday. It was the same day as her birthday. Isn't it a coincidence?
After today, she will be twelve years old. She is eating the food of a thirteen-year-old and feels that time flies so fast. It has been more than a year.
"Dad, please accompany me to buy a bracelet."
"OK."
The two of them arrived at the silver building. Su Yu bought a silver bracelet for twelve taels of silver. Su Yu paid for it. Knowing that her father had more than a tael of silver in his pocket, he didn't dare to let go of more than that. I'm afraid I'll lose it.
In Su Laoer's heart, his daughter's payment is the same as his own. Now most of the money in the family is in the hands of his daughter.
On the way back to the village, Su Yu raised her hand from time to time and looked at the silver bracelet on her hand. This was a birthday gift bought by her parents.
