Chapter 025: Everything is under control
Su Jing himself said it was good after using it, and his brothers at home also thought it was good, so this thing must have potential.
"Okay, let's go!"
This time I wanted to buy ten pounds of pork fat at once, so the pork seller gave me a discount of one cent. I spent eighty cents to buy ten pounds of lard, and he also gave me two bones with little meat on them, which were just right for making soup.
Having promised to buy delicious food for his fourth brother, Su Wan went to buy eight meat buns and three sugar cakes, spending fifteen cents.
These mushrooms were picked with great effort by my eldest and fifth brothers. They didn't buy anything, so I feel sorry for them.
"Brother, do you want to eat anything? You and Fifth Brother picked these pine mushrooms, and I ended up using them all!"
Su Jing shook his head and gently touched her head:
"You did all this for this family, for us. The idea was yours. You earned the money, and we benefited from it. Besides, the lard you bought is still meat, a rare delicacy. How could my eldest brother not be satisfied? Your fifth brother wouldn't have any objections either, he's the gentlest of men!"
Su Wan felt warm in her heart and liked this elder brother more and more. The eldest child in the family was different. He always took care of his younger siblings with tolerance.
In a teahouse nearby, a gorgeously dressed girl with a pretty face, adorned with hairpins and rings, was sitting next to her. Two other girls in gorgeous clothes were sitting next to her, and her eyes were fixed on the brother and sister who were getting along closely downstairs.
"Miss Gu, the dim sum here is delicious, and the milk tea is also excellent. Don't you like it?"
These two young ladies both have business dealings with the Gu family and are daughters of landlords in the county.
Rich families all have their own circle. Gu Yue had been back at the Gu family for almost ten days. This was the first time she came out and enjoyed a superior quality of life. There were so many servants serving her, as many beautiful clothes and jewelry as she wanted, and so many fawning followers.
She had spent too many days in the countryside facing the loess, and she was a little uncomfortable at first, but now she enjoys the feeling of being sought after and noble.
Her parents were very good to her and always responded to her requests, as if to make up for the debt they had owed her over the years.
However, when she saw her elder brother Su Jing getting along so well with that girl with extraordinary looks and sweet smile, she felt sad. Such gentle eyes and doting head pats were obviously directed at her before. She had only been away for a few days, and her elder brother had been won over by her?
This Su Wan has occupied so many years of his life and has lived a life of wealth and glory for him for so long, and now he wants to share his brother's love?
It seems that she has to find an opportunity to go back. Although her mother is particularly resistant to the Su family, that is the home where she grew up after all. Her brothers mean a lot to her. Seeing them so harmonious, she feels uncontrollably sad in her heart.
"It's too hot, I have no appetite. You guys eat, we'll go shopping later!"
She imitated the way the daughters spoke, speaking slowly and gently, without showing her teeth in her smile.
…
Su Wan spent almost one or two taels of silver at once, and she still felt a little distressed. When she was broke, every penny had to be spent wisely. But at the market, she saw someone selling dates. They were from their own date trees, pollution-free and without additives. She bought some and spent five cents.
There are about twenty of them, just try them to taste the sweetness.
After returning home, she distributed the buns to her brothers. Su Yun refunded her ten cents. The carpenter only charged her twenty cents for making three sets of molds. Moreover, the molds were not big, so they could be made by tomorrow afternoon.
There were eight buns, one for each person and two left, so Su Yun shared them with his eldest brother and fifth brother.
"Big brother and fifth brother have worked hard picking mushrooms, they will have one to eat!"
Su Jing didn't refuse. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely give it up, but he was also afraid that Su Wan would be unhappy.
"Thank you, sister Wanwan."
Su Yi was not embarrassed and stuffed it into his mouth. Su Yun ran over and insisted on sharing half of it.
"Give me half!"
"No!" Su Yi refused calmly.
"We are twin brothers born from the same womb, so it's only right that I get half!"
"Do you admit now that we are twin brothers?"
The fourth and fifth brothers bickered with each other all the time. Although Su Yi said that, he still gave him half of the buns.
There were only three sugar cakes, divided into six pieces, and each person broke off half.
As for the dates, each of the brothers ate one, and the rest were left untouched and saved for Su Wan. Girls love to eat sweet things, and how could the brothers compete with her?
The next morning, Su Wan took the leftover goat milk soap from last time and carried a basin to the river to wash clothes. At this time, the river was full of people from the village washing clothes.
He Jiaolan and Chen Yinghong were also there. Su Wan was now the talk of the village after dinner. She had just returned and everything was new, but she was a community leader, so she would go where there were many people.
"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Su family? I heard you've been back for a few days, but I haven't seen you. I heard you're pretty, so I recognized you right away!"
Su Wan rarely appears in public, so many people in the village have never seen her, but those who have seen her are all shocked by her appearance.
"Yes, hello, aunties. We are from the same village from now on, so please visit each other more often!"
Chen Yinghong rolled her eyes at her shamelessness.
"She's so shameless! What other girl would be like her, showing off everywhere?"
He Jiaolan smiled when she heard this:
"She's good-looking and attractive wherever she is. Sister Su Wan has a good personality, so don't always have a problem with her."
"Sister Jiaolan, what benefits has she given you? You are protecting her so much. You are doing this for Brother Su Jing's sake, and you love her too!"
He Jiaolan heard this and immediately hit her lightly:
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to be angry."
Chen Yinghong has a big mouth. The women here are all gossipy. If she were to spread such nonsense, her reputation as a girl would be ruined.
Chen Yinghong also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she shut up.
On Su Wan's side, he picked the group that was chatting the most enthusiastically and took out his goat milk soap to make bubbles.
The clothes were foaming while being washed, and you could faintly smell the fragrance of milk, which instantly attracted the attention of several aunts nearby.
"Sister Su, what's this new thing? It even makes foam!"
Su Wan thought that his home court had come, so he successfully entered the gossip group and started the sales mode.
"Aunties, my goat milk soap is really good. After washing your hands and face, your skin will be smooth and tender. And if you use it to wash clothes, they will have a milky fragrance. Can you smell it on me?"
She held out her sleeves for them to smell, and they leaned over to sniff it. Hey, it really was, it smelled really good!
