Chapter 200: The Way to Make Money

The letter was written quickly, but the problem became who to send.

After Master Lin left, County Magistrate Hu had not yet found a suitable person to share his work.

It is also necessary to immediately convene a meeting of the village heads to learn how to open mountains and build roads. At the same time, it is also necessary to sound a warning to all villages and villages to prohibit private land transactions.

There are also a series of things to do, such as spring sowing, and he is too busy to handle them all. Moreover, County Magistrate Hu's courage and strategy may not impress Governor Lu.

"How about we trouble Mr. Su to make a trip?" County Magistrate Hu stared at Su Bucheng, who was the most ideal lobbyist.

He has extraordinary insight and strategy, and has been an official. He is highly appreciated by the governor and is the perfect match.

"Me? Sir, I am a fugitive and cannot leave Wu County!" Su Bucheng smiled and shook his head.

If people knew that the fugitive was running around everywhere, not only would he be caught, but the county magistrate would also be in trouble.

"This, this!" County Magistrate Hu rubbed his hands anxiously. What should he do?

"Well, Mr. Su, I'll give you a warrant. Didn't the governor order you to assist Wu County? It would make sense for you to go to the provincial capital with the warrant, right?"

Magistrate Hu finally thought of this reason, but he was still worried and said, "I'll let Dalang accompany him. He has to return to the provincial capital anyway."

To get from Wu County to the provincial capital, one has to pass through several checkpoints and undergo inspections.

If someone questions Su Bucheng's identity and warrant outside the jurisdiction of Wu County, it is not impossible for him to be thrown into jail.

With Hu Dalang around, we can be flexible if we can, and if we can't, there will be someone to report it in time.

"Okay!" Su Bucheng didn't hesitate too much.

"Aye!" Su Ying looked worried.

This is a gamble with your life. If someone uses it to make a fuss, you will lose your life. Is it worth it?

As long as the land is kept, the family won't gain a penny more. No matter who comes, the family will not sell the land.

"It's okay. I'm just a fugitive. How bad can it get? It's just my life at most!" Su Bucheng said with a relaxed smile.

"Thank you! Take care, Mr. Su!" County Magistrate Hu saw him off to the door and bowed deeply.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Su Bucheng raised his hand and bowed, then turned around and got on the carriage.

"Da Lang, you must protect Mr. Su well. If anything happens, come back and report it immediately!" County Magistrate Hu instructed his eldest son.

"No need, yeah!" Hu Dalang replied.

I waited with my mother for my father to have dinner, but he didn't show up for a long time. He said he was discussing something with the father and daughter of the Su family.

He thought the Su family father and daughter would come to dine together, but he didn't expect to suddenly ask him to pack his bags and return to the provincial capital.

There was a flurry of activity and after a quick meal, they were driven out. Both my father and the Su family father and daughter looked unhappy.

Hu Dalang didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the handwritten order his father gave to Mr. Su and asked him to accompany him. He knew that the matter was urgent and serious.

Asking me to escort the fugitive to the provincial capital to meet the governor is really weird and too risky.

He was intercepted on the road and thrown into prison, and even his father was arrested.

As people continued to pour into the city, a carriage went against the flow, out of the city and headed straight for the provincial capital.

"Aying, where is your father?" At the end of the hour of Wei, Mrs. Du saw her daughter come back, but her husband was not there.

"Aye has something to do and will be out for a few days!" Su Ying replied.

Zhaoyan and Bingyan were pestering their fathers to play, and Niu Xiaobao was running around and laughing like crazy.

Xiaotao, Atang and Su Lu sat under the eaves playing with windmills, while Mrs. Du, Mrs. Wei and Niu Er's wife prepared dinner.

"How many days will he be away?" Su Laoer and the others were all stunned. Where could the fugitive run to and why wouldn't he come back for several days?

"Aying, what happened?" Mrs. Du was worried. Her daughter had been gone for most of the day and her face looked grim.

"Don't ask, mother. Father will know when he comes back." Su Ying forced a smile. "Second uncle, third uncle, inform the other families and return to the village tomorrow."

"Go back to the village? Didn't we say we would do it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Everyone said in unison, and the rent had been paid.

"Well, I've rested for several days, that's enough.

After I go back and finish repairing the road, the vermicelli factory should be open. Then we will have spring plowing and sowing, and also plant sugarcane and beans, raise silkworms, and then harvest winter wheat.

There are so many things to do, not even counting the road construction for Jinfeng Village!" Su Ying counted on her fingers.

"Stop talking, I'll go back to the village now!" Su Laosan was impatient and couldn't sit still after hearing this.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, go back to the village directly after closing the stall tomorrow morning. Remember to go to Uncle Zhang at the south gate of the city to hire an ox cart." Su Ying arranged.

"Okay!" Su Lao Er and Su Lao San went out.

"Are you really leaving?" Niu Er's wife was reluctant to let them go. "Will you stay for a few more days?"

"No, sister, there are a lot of things to do in the village. Come back when you have time!" Su Ying smiled.

"Then, I will refund you the rent." Niu Er's wife was reluctant, but she felt embarrassed not to return it.

"No need, sister, we just broke the contract at the last minute, no need to cancel."

Su Ying made a lot of money from selling fried dough sticks, but she didn't take the fifty cents seriously. For their whole family, this amount of money was only enough for one night if they stayed in an inn.

"I can't do this!" Niu Er's wife insisted on getting the money.

"Sister, just listen to me, there's really no need!" Su Ying grabbed Niu Er's wife.

"Sister, come here, I'll teach you how to make some fried food, and then you can set up your own stall."

“This, this…” Niu Er’s wife blushed and said gratefully, “Thank you, A Ying! You are truly the God of Wealth in our family!”

This girl has wide fingers and is trying to make money for others. I wouldn't be so stupid if it were her.

But she was giving it to herself, and Niu Er’s wife would not refuse.

Who doesn’t want to get rich? Who doesn’t want to live a good life?

"Okay, sister, no need to thank me, let's make it now, just in time for dinner."

I bought three pounds of mutton, cut it into pieces, added green onions, mixed it with salt and pepper powder, and made it into stuffing.

Knead the flour into a soft dough that is half dry and half thin, wrap the filling, and flatten it.

Heat a wok, pour in a small amount of oil, and fry the pancakes.

A circle of greedy cats gathered in front of the stove. "Sister, how long do we have to wait?"

Atang and Xiaotao were the shortest and couldn't see, so they lay on the stove and stood on tiptoe to look.

"Wait a moment!" Su Ying said patiently.

Wei added firewood, and after Su Ying demonstrated one task, she handed it over to Niu Er's wife.

"Sister, don't be reluctant to give up the meat!" Su Ying couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw that Niu Er's wife only scooped a little meat filling.

"Those who can afford stuffed pancakes are wealthy people. If you sell them for five cents each, you have to give them enough fillings. Otherwise, people won't come back next time, and your business won't last long."

"I, I just feel sad!" Niu Er's wife said embarrassedly and added a little more stuffing.

The aroma of green onions and mutton filled the entire kitchen, and the greedy little cats gulped their saliva.

"Mom, it smells so good!" Niu Xiaobao's words were not finished yet, his saliva was flowing, and he hurriedly wiped it with the back of his hand.

Two golden pancakes were scooped out of the pan, and the children's eyes followed the pancakes.

Su Ying cut it into several pieces with a knife and put it in a bowl. "Eat it! Eat slowly, be careful of the heat!"

"Oh!" The greedy little cats happily took the bowl and reached out to grab it, "Hiss! It's hot!"

Su Ying cut the other one and gave it to several adults to taste.

"This is delicious! I can eat three in one go!" Niu Er's wife ate it in small bites.

It’s rare to eat meat in a year, and this stuffed pancake is crispy and has meat. How wonderful it would be if we could live like this every day!

"Well, this tastes better than fried dough sticks!" Wei nodded continuously.

"Sister, when you become more skilled, you can also make some vegetable fillings, leek, egg and vermicelli fillings, and sauerkraut fillings. The prices are cheaper than meat fillings, and your business will definitely be booming." Su Ying suggested to Niu Er's wife.

"How can I do so much by myself? I have to fry dough sticks, bake pies, greet customers, and collect money."

Niu Er's wife was both happy and worried. She looked at piles of money dangling in front of her, but couldn't catch a single one.

"Captain Niu has several brothers. Just find someone to work with you. There is strength in numbers!" Su Ying smiled.

If you want to have an easy life, find someone to work with you. If you want to earn more, you have to work hard yourself. It all depends on your choice.
