"Miss Su is so refreshing."
Soon, the clerk over there packed ten years of sample questions and sent them over. The shopkeeper collected the money and personally delivered Su Yu to the door of the shop. This was something that had never happened before.
After what happened that day, the shopkeeper asked people to inquire about the Su family carefully. If you didn’t inquire, you wouldn’t know. When you inquired about it, you were shocked. It was true that Su Yu was a village girl, but a village girl could get along with someone like Su Yu. For my sake, this is my first time meeting the shopkeeper. The Su family not only has business dealings with Taihe Building, but also has an inexplicable relationship with the Chonggang. Otherwise, there are so many shops selling food. How come the people from the Chonggang have identified the Su family's shop? No wonder there are people around them. The maidservants followed.
After going to the study to buy the test questions, the master and the servant bought some useful things on the street, and then went home. The town is only so big, and after walking around so many times, even the old woman at the stall in the corner in front knew exactly what she was selling, so it was really boring.
After arriving home, Su Yu rested for a while, found a towel to wrap his hair, and went to the workshop next door to Su's house.
That's right, the Su family built a small workshop on the vacant land next door last year. In fact, it is just two rows of houses. When the weather is cold, the room on the left makes bacon and sausages. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we make pork jerky. After more than a year of improvement, the pork jerky sold by the Su family now has four or five flavors, not just spicy.
But even so, the Su family's goods are still in short supply, and business should not be too good. In the past two days, the village was busy harvesting wheat and stopped working for a few days. Now that the wheat has been harvested, the Su family's workshop has started working again.
In the row of houses on the left, Mrs. Zhou and six women from the village were making pork jerky. In the house opposite, Mrs. Lian and four women were making soap. After Bai Mo came back to clean up, he also came over to help.
The woman who was busy in the kitchen saw Su Yu and said hello to Su Yu.
"Girl Su is back. What did you buy today?"
"I didn't buy anything, I just went shopping on the street."
"Girl Su is lucky."
There was something in the woman's words, Su Yu just pretended that she didn't understand that others were praising her for being a good person, so she wouldn't have to live a serious life.
"girl."
"Aunt Zhou is busy with you, I'll just go around."
All the women were from Yujia Village, and Ms. Lian chose some with gentle tempers and hard-working people in the village. Nothing happened after they had been here for so many days. The most important thing was that the wages paid by the Su family were high. The women who come to work in the workshop are each twenty-five cents a day, and they are not provided with meals at noon. They can also rest for an hour when they go home to eat. How many people can work in the Su family's workshop has made many people in the village envious, and everyone is jealous. I cherish it very much. If they didn't do it, how many people in the village would be waiting in line behind them.
There is a clear division of labor in the workshop. Each of the five women holds two knives in their hands and specializes in making minced meat stuffing. Then Zhou is responsible for mixing the stuffing. Another woman rolls the prepared stuffing into thin slices on oil paper. Bake it in Suyu's homemade oven on the far side. When it's almost done, take it out, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and bake the meat for a few more minutes.
Su Yu walked to the basin with the dried meat, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it. This time it was spiced and tasted okay. He didn't find anything else, so he turned around and went to the soap workshop opposite.
While making soap, Mrs. Lian saw the sweat on her daughter's forehead and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe it for her.
"If the fish is tired, just take a rest. There's nothing going on here. Mom can just watch."
"It's okay, Mom, I'll come over and take a look."
When the women in the workshop saw Su Yu coming, they all greeted her politely. However, in their opinion, Su Yu came to the workshop just to play and had nothing to do with work. Thanks to Lian's good temper, Su Yu came to the workshop for fun. She also asked softly if she was tired. It would be good if her daughter was not forced to work, but people would get used to it after seeing her more often.
Although these women have been working in the Su family for several months, the Lian family and the Zhou family are already familiar with these things, and there is no need for Su Yu to teach them, so they don't know at all that these are Su Yu's When I came up with it, I thought it was a money-making recipe that the Su family had before.
Su Yu walked around and found that there was no problem, so he went to the egg hatching room. A lot of duck eggs were hatched this time, almost 40,000 in total, so Su Yu couldn't help but be more concerned. Now Zhao Qian has basically learned the art of hatching eggs, and Su Yu doesn't have to keep watch at home all day. After reading it, he went to the back hillside again. Unfortunately, it takes three years for the sour lemon tree to bear fruit, and this year is the first time. In two years, it is still early to bear fruit, but this is something that cannot be rushed.
After walking around for a while, it was time for Su Sheng to come back from school.
"Brother, I have something to give you. Come with me."
As soon as Su Sheng entered the house, he was pulled away by his sister, who had obviously been waiting at the door for a long time.
The two came to the study room, and Su Yu quickly handed the test questions he bought today to his eldest brother.
"Brother, these are the test questions from the provincial examinations that I bought for you in the past ten years. Take a good look at them. I also heard that this year's examiner is Yu Xuezheng. He is a more pragmatic person. You can focus on this aspect during the examination."
Su Sheng held the test questions Su Yu gave him like a treasure and touched them with his hands.
"Brother, please hurry up and read your book, I won't disturb you anymore."
Because her eldest brother was going to take the scholar examination, Su Yu did not let him teach her during this period. She mainly felt that she had learned enough and could recognize all the ancient characters. She was not going to take the exam. Forget about the imperial examination, the Four Books and the Five Classics.
Before Su Sheng could express his thanks, Su Yu ran away like a gust of wind. After being moved for a while to calm down, Su Sheng picked up the book and started reading. It's already mid-April, and he will leave for the state capital in May, so he doesn't have much time to study.
Time flies and it's May 20th. Today is the day when Su Sheng goes to the state capital. This time, there are only two people, Su Sheng and Wang Gang. Yu Xiucai did not go with them. After sending people away, the Su family had no time to sigh and were busy raising seedlings. After waiting for the seedlings to be raised and transplanted, I was busy harvesting mushrooms.
The Su family's farm shop now sells not only the few items sold at the beginning, Su Yu also adds some other things, including mushroom sauce. The villagers in the village and people in several nearby villages all know that Su Yu Regarding harvesting mushrooms at home, it can be said that as soon as the mushrooms in the mountains came out, they were harvested by the villagers and sold directly to the Su family.
There are also many boys and girls in the village who go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Huang Yi is among them. After getting up early in the morning and feeding the ducks, they go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Half of the money from the sales is given to the family and the other half is kept by himself. . She is eighteen years old this year. In the past two years, people have come to her house to marry her, but her mother has dismissed them all. Huang Yi doesn't care at all now. She knows her mother's thoughts, and she just wants to keep her with her family for a few more years. To make money, she had no intention of getting married early, so she left it to her mother.
In her opinion, if you marry into your husband's family, you have to be under the control of her husband's family, which is no different than at home, so why should she marry into someone else's family?
When Su Sheng came back from the state capital, the Su family members sighed and realized that their son (eldest brother) had been gone for so long.
