"What is this..." Su Xiaoxiao asked, looking at a field of green vegetables.
"Coriander," said Old Li. "It has a strong smell, and many people can't get used to it."
Isn’t this the coriander from the previous life?
Coriander is a good thing. It is rich in vitamins, trace elements and various minerals. It can relieve rashes, help digestion and relieve gas. It is very suitable for eating in winter.
Su Xiaoxiao picked some more coriander and filled Old Li's basket.
She went out to look at the land and didn't bring anything with her.
Qian, who was standing by, saw that Fatty Su had picked so many vegetables that her face turned green with pain.
Old Li said to Su Xiaoxiao, "You grow vegetables but don't sell them. You only grow vegetables for your family. You don't need that much land. Half an acre is enough. You can use the remaining acre and a half to grow some food."
Su Xiaoxiao took Old Li's words to heart.
She would certainly not leave the extra land idle, but she would rather grow sugarcane than crops.
Sugarcane can be used to make sugar, so the cost of making pancakes can be reduced a lot, and the profit margin will be greater.
As for selling candy, she has no plans to do so for the time being.
In ancient times, sugar and salt were both rare commodities, and there was a huge industrial chain of power and wealth behind them. Once she disrupted the sugar market with low prices, she would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
She won't do that until she has enough ability.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Qian, I'm going back first."
"Go ahead." said Old Li.
Qian secretly rolled her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao left the vegetable field with the basket on her shoulder, looking amused.
She is fat and happy, and she is really not angry.
After arriving home, Su Xiaoxiao took out the vegetables and returned the basket to Mr. Li and his wife.
The basket was heavy and covered with a clean cotton cloth.
After she left, Qian opened the box and saw that there were six pancakes and two large pieces of meat!
Qian gasped! -Su Cheng finished making the crutch, called Wei Ting over, and asked him to try the crutch in the backyard.
It must be said that Old Man Su is really good to his son-in-law.
I wonder if Old Man Su will vomit blood on the day he leaves.
Su Ergou took the kid for a walk and went to the village entrance to fetch water.
The three little ones didn't take their nap obediently. They climbed out of bed and went to the next room.
They came to the window of the second-room cottage.
Niu Dan didn't eat sugar-coated eggs today. His grandfather Liu Shan went to the back village for a banquet yesterday and brought him half a bowl of peanuts and a piece of maltose.
He ate a peanut and licked a piece of candy.
"Do you know what this is?"
He is greedy for the three little ones.
"Peanuts!" He raised the half-licked candy bar and said, "Caramel!"
"I won't give you any! You'll be dying of greed! Lulululu!"
The three little ones blinked and slid away.
"Hmph!" Niu Dan snorted and continued to lick the maltose.
Suddenly, the three little ones came back.
Everyone had a string of shiny candied haws in their hands.
When Niu Dan saw the candied haws, his eyes widened! The three little ones started to lick the candied haws, but they were not satisfied after licking them for a while, so they started to chew them with their little teeth.
Niu Dan suddenly felt that the maltose in his hand no longer tasted fragrant!
After the three little ones had eaten enough of the candied haws, they went home and got a bowl of fried sesame balls and fried dough sticks, and ate the beef eggs one by one.
“Wow—”
Niu Dan was so greedy that he cried! --Su Xiaoxiao was sitting behind the kitchen sharpening a knife when she heard Mrs. Wu's stern scolding from the kitchen next door.
"You don't have enough to eat, but you go to your parents' house every few days to get food! Who would marry someone like you? You can't even give birth to a boy! You're just a money-loser!"
"Eat, eat, eat! All I think about all day long is eating!"
The first sentence is scolding Xiao Wu, and the second sentence is probably scolding Xiao Wu's two daughters.
"Cry, cry, cry! You're mourning!" Mrs. Wu raised her hand impatiently and slapped her two granddaughters hard several times.
Xiao Wu used her body to block the blows and was also hit several times.
“Wow—”
Niu Dan in the front room also cried, and was really sad.
Mrs. Wu's face changed: "Niu Dan, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Wu had no time to teach Mrs. Wu and her daughter a lesson, and hurried to the front room to coax her precious grandson.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to sharpen the knife.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Wu opened the back door of the kitchen and planned to come out for some fresh air.
She caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoxiao sitting in the snow sharpening a knife.
Maybe she was worried that Su Xiaoxiao might have heard what happened just now, but she felt a little embarrassed.
Next to Su Xiaoxiao placed a few pounds of pork ribs and some vegetables that had just been picked from the fields.
Xiao Wu walked forward silently, squatted down and helped Su Xiaoxiao pick vegetables.
Su Xiaoxiao did not ask Xiao Wu what happened, nor did she refuse Xiao Wu's help. She just went into the house and took out twenty copper coins for Xiao Wu after Xiao Wu picked the vegetables and helped her wash the ribs.
Little Wu was stunned.
"You seem to need this more than food."
Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with tears.
Her mother was sick, and she wanted to take some eggs back to visit her mother, but was discovered by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, who scolded her.
She had been living like this for so many years and had long been numb to it, but for some reason, the moment Su Xiaoxiao handed her the copper coin, she felt an unspeakable sense of grievance in her heart.
She whispered, "I don't go to my parents' house every other day to get things."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I know."
Little Wu's tears fell with a plop.
The grievances accumulated over the years fermented in Su Xiaoxiao's trust until they completely exploded. ——Last night, the three little ones urinated too hard and soaked two mattresses. In addition, it was snowing and there was no sun, so the mattresses were not completely dry.
Tonight, Su Ergou still has to sleep with Old Man Su.
The three little ones got their third chance to sleep with someone they wished for.
The three little ones waved goodbye to their father proudly and went to Su Xiaoxiao's house holding their little pillows.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to take a rest, and Su Ergou asked at the door: "Sister, are you asleep?"
"No, come in." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou came to ask about tomorrow's business: "Sister, should we go to Jinji to set up a stall, or go to the academy?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought seriously and said, "Go to Jinji."
Su Ergou: “Ah.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to go to the academy?"
Su Ergou said, "There are many students in the academy, so we can definitely sell more than at the entrance of Jinji!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
The area around Jin Kee is full of high-quality customers, so we can sell at a good price and save time.
Su Ergou asked again: "Do we give up the academy business?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "No, it's just that the sales model needs to change."
Thanks to her CEO mother in her previous life, she still has some business ideas in her mind.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Ergou, "It's late, go to bed."
Su Ergou nodded: "Well, then remember to call me tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Yes."
Why does she feel that the silly brother is more enthusiastic about selling cakes than extorting money?
Su Ergou and his men all left, and another head popped in: "Sister, you can make a kind of cake called Ergou cake in the future!"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
