Chapter 73 Someone wants to steal my skills
Halfway through the journey, Su Tang fell asleep again.
Even when her husband was around, she habitually leaned on Yu Miaomiao to sleep.
Mu Jingzhou really wanted to pull her over and let her sleep in his arms!
But since he was in public, he felt embarrassed and suppressed his impulse.
He whispered to Mu Jingyun: "Second brother, can you take care of your second sister-in-law?"
"Um?"
"Stop cuddling with my wife all the time."
"!!!"
Mu Jingyun knew his brother well and he would not look for trouble. So he thought about it carefully and it didn't make sense.
"They are too good together, aren't they?"
"Haha, you just discovered it now!"
"But didn't they say they had no one to be with at home, so they huddled together for warmth?"
"Do you think they are the ones who need warmth?"
It doesn't seem so.
One only loves to cook, the other only knows how to light the fire. One can play with a knife, the other can sing. If they join forces, they can make paper and soap!
Even when they were arguing with people or setting up stalls, they cooperated very well.
Is this a group warming up? It is clearly a seamless connection!
Mu Jingyun looked at Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang's current looks and fell silent.
Maybe, possibly, probably...it really needs some attention!
………
Today, not only is business good in the county town, but also at home. Li Lan helped sell two bars of soap, and Su Tang hung up the small notebook as usual.
Since it was not yet time to make dinner, they hurried to make lard.
Cutting pork fat is a strenuous job. After cutting, your hands will be covered with raw oil, so Yu Miaomiao doesn't like to do it.
Just when I was about to call out to Mu Jingyun, I found that he was gone!
Mu Jingzhou was not here either.
"Where did they go?" Yu Miaomiao asked Su Tang.
Su Tang didn’t know either, that Mu Jingzhou would be needed to stir the soap liquid later!
"Forget it, let's refine the lard first. Tomorrow morning we'll go to the mountains and see how many roses we can pick."
"good."
Time is tight, and there is no flower material available at home, so I can only refine the oil first. I will do the rest tomorrow.
Smoke rises and the aroma of oil slowly wafts away.
Gao Chunyan from next door came over and said, "Oh, you're refining oil again? Are you also making soap?"
"Yes."
"Tsk, your business is really good. You can make money and eat the oil residue at the same time." Gao Chunyan was very envious.
Su Tang said modestly: "It's mainly because I'm not in good health and feel dizzy when I get off the ground. So I do some light work to shut up my mother-in-law."
"It's definitely better than earning work points in the team. Otherwise, the work points that the second and third brothers paid to the team would not be worth it." Gao Chunyan's eyes sparkled.
There were regulations on how many work points each person had to earn each year. If you didn't work or did private work, you had to pay money or use work points to offset the difference.
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao can be so free and at ease, all because Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou use work points to offset their work! If making soaps doesn't make more money, who would do this unprofitable business?
Su Tang didn't dare to say much to Gao Chunyan, and just concentrated on making the fire.
Gao Chunyan had no intention of leaving. She pulled a chair and sat down to have a long talk: "Do you need help selling soap? I can help. Just give me a commission."
"No need for that. We are just doing small business. We can just sell it ourselves." Su Tang refused.
"Really? I'm better at speaking than your sister-in-law." Gao Chunyan squinted her eyes.
Su Tang smiled: "We don't want to sell too quickly. Selling slowly will make it seem like we have something to do every day."
"Uh..." Gao Chunyan choked, "Then you can make more and increase the production capacity. The more you sell, the more profit you will make!"
"Handiwork is time-consuming, and I can't do much. Besides, I get tired if I do too much." Su Tang shook her head, "You know, I'm not in good health and can't get tired."
Gao Chunyan said: "Then let me help you make soap! I have nothing to do anyway, so I can help you for free."
Yu Miaomiao glanced at Su Tang.
Su Tang understood and said, "Chun Yan, you are joking. Our small business can only subsidize our living and allow us to have two more meals of meat. We cannot afford to hire anyone."
Teaching the apprentice will starve the master. Making soap is their main business now, how can they teach it to outsiders?
Gao Chunyan's goal is to steal skills!
If she learns it, she won't have to work in the fields. With the skill, it will be easier to find a husband.
After being rejected, I lost interest in chatting and left in embarrassment.
But what she said in the kitchen reminded Li Lan, who was sitting in the yard smelling the fragrance.
Others wanted to learn but had no chance, but she could watch them operate the whole process. She could learn!
Li Lan was excited just thinking about it, and waited intently for Yu Miaomiao to finish refining the lard and make soap with Su Tang.
As a result, after Yu Miaomiao finished refining the oil, she started to cook dinner.
Li Lan asked disappointedly, "You're not making soap today?"
"There are not enough materials, and it's getting late. Let's do it tomorrow." Su Tang said.
Li Lan smiled and said: Just do it! She will learn it sooner or later if she watches it every day.
When it was time to get off work, Mrs. Mu came back and smelled the fragrance of oil, and her face immediately lit up with joy.
They only sell a few bars of soap a day, so it takes a long time for them to sell their stock! Today's oil refining is definitely for cooking oil at home.
No wonder the third brother had some meat tickets in his pocket when he went out today. It was not in vain that he raised them.
“This oil…”
"It's for making soap."
Li Lan extinguished Mrs. Mu's passion.
Mrs. Mu suddenly lost her spirits. She grumbled as she washed her hands, “I haven’t sold out the ones I made last time. I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to sell them.”
"Mom, their business is very good. They sold seventeen bars of soap at the market today." Li Lan said in a low voice.
Mrs. Mu was shocked: "So many?"
"Yes, I looked in the basket. I left with twenty dollars, and came back with only three."
"Then they sold it for five dollars!"
Old Mrs. Mu's eyes were filled with flashing banknotes, and she really wanted to reach out and grab a handful and put them in her pocket.
"Mom, their business is good, so we have oil residue to eat every day." Li Lan said happily.
Old Mrs. Mu snorted.
No matter how good the business is, she can't enjoy their blessings. Two unfilial daughters-in-law!
It's time for dinner, but Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou haven't come back yet.
Su Tang asked curiously: "Where did they go?"
"Maybe he went to the mountains to feed wild boars!" Yu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously at all.
After dinner, I went back to the house to rest and draw.
Su Tang washed herself roughly and lay down in her room.
The sky gradually darkened, but Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou still hadn't returned.
When the last ray of daylight disappeared, Su Tang couldn't help but ran out and asked, "Mom, where is Third Brother?"
"Aren't I going into the city with you to set up a stall?" Old Mrs. Mu was too lazy to pay attention. She replied and closed the door.
Su Tang stood alone in the yard, watching the sky getting darker and darker, feeling a little anxious.
She pushed open Yu Miaomiao's room: "They haven't come back yet."
"Yeah." Yu Miaomiao was dozing off and responded in a daze.
"Aren't you worried?" Su Tang asked.
Yu Miaomiao raised her eyelids and closed them again: "I don't."
Su Tang hesitated to speak, and finally quietly withdrew.
If she expressed concern again, Yu Miaomiao would definitely suspect that she was in love with Mu Jingzhou.
Although she was indeed worried, it was better not to show it.
Save your sisters from getting angry.
The stars climbed up into the night sky and the village gradually became quiet.
Su Tang held Ah Huang in her arms and walked back and forth in the yard dejectedly, looking towards the door from time to time.
However, there was no movement.
