The Wei Ting token is still inside.
After the last time, she realized that the token might be a hot potato. Whoever took it would be in trouble. Unfortunately, she couldn't take it out now.
Liu Ping now regarded Su Pangya as his benefactor. When he learned that she was coming today, he went to the pond in the back mountain to catch a few wild crucian carp.
The big ones weigh more than one pound, and the small ones weigh half a pound.
Liu Ping is indeed quite capable to be able to catch such a fat crucian carp in the middle of winter.
"Fish." The three little ones squatted in the backyard looking at the fish in the basin. Sister Mei Zi was there too.
Su Ergou teased them: "Is the little fish cute?"
"Cute." said Xiaomei.
Da Hu slurped his saliva and said, "Braised."
Erhu: "Deep-fried."
Xiaohu: "Soup."
Xiao Meizi: The three younger brothers are so scary! The adults continued to talk in the main room.
"I haven't seen my uncle and Young Master Wei." Liu Ping said.
Since he was already there, he had to say hello to the two of them. He was a little naive, but he still understood the ways of the world.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, my father and Wei Ting went to the fields to pick vegetables."
Liu Ping secretly sighed, this family has changed so much that even the bully leader, Old Man Su, has gone to the fields to pick vegetables.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, "I called you here today to discuss work."
Liu Ping said hurriedly: "Mei Zi's mother told me that I can do any job! Really!"
Su Xiaoxiao was happy: "Okay, then let me first tell you what specific businesses we currently have. Sister Wu should have mentioned the braised meat business and the dim sum business to you."
Liu Ping said: "Ah, I mentioned that your cooking is very delicious. I also tried it... It is indeed delicious!"
During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Su's family gave them fried meatballs and snacks, as well as cured and braised meat and dim sum.
He didn't say that just to flatter Su Pangya, he really thought it was delicious! It was obvious that Liu Ping was a little nervous the first time he visited the bully's house.
There is no rush. You will slowly get used to it as you spend more time with each other.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "After the Chinese New Year, the braised meat and dim sum business will continue. In addition, we have added a salted egg business."
"Salted, salted egg?"
Little Wu whispered, "It's the duck egg I gave you! You said the egg yolk was delicious!"
"Ahh! That!" Liu Ping looked at Su Pangya with great admiration, "Daya, you can make duck eggs like that, you are so capable!"
Who said Liu Ping was stupid? Isn't this a very honest compliment? Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Everyone has their own abilities, just in different aspects. Our business is just starting out, so we don't have enough manpower, so the work is more complicated and more complicated. But don't worry, Brother Liu, I will never treat you badly in terms of wages."
Liu Ping said solemnly: "Daya, you are being too polite. You have helped us so much. If it weren't for you, we would have been scolded to death by the villagers, not to mention the separation. If you say one word, I, Liu Ping, will even smash my head on the ground!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you talking about dying?"
Liu Ping was stunned: "Ah, it's okay to be a disciple!"
Su Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
How come Liu Ping is so funny? Su Xiaoxiao already had a clear plan in mind about the division of labor among several people. Xiao Wu was still responsible for the previous work, but the difference was that she had separated from the Liu family and no longer had to hide, so her working hours could be extended.
Of course, it's within a reasonable time frame and she won't exploit her employees.
After the working hours are extended, the output can keep up. Whether it is the braised meat business, the dim sum business, or even supplying goods to Jin Kee, it will be much easier than before.
Liu Ping's main task is product transportation.
If she does well, she can start her own logistics business in the future.
The business of a small town cannot satisfy her. Her goal is the entire Qingzhou, or even the entire Da Zhou! Well... it's too early to brag. Let's solve the current problem first.
"There will be a lot of goods to transport in the future, so we need a means of transportation." Su Xiaoxiao said.
"Do you mean the ox cart?" Liu Ping asked.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "The oxcart is too slow."
It was dark before we had finished making two deliveries.
Liu Ping worked as a laborer outside and had seen many vehicles. He thought, "The faster ones are donkey carts and mule carts, and the other two are horse carts, but horse carts are too expensive."
Although she had a considerable amount of money, including the money she earned from medical consultations, she had a rough idea of the price of horses. A medium-sized southwestern horse could be sold for between seventy and eighty taels.
A horse alone would empty her pockets, not to mention the cart.
"I can make a cart." Liu Ping scratched his head. "I worked as a carpenter for a few years."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. She had found a treasure, hadn't she? Liu Ping said, "Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. The wharf opens early. There is a horse market there. I'll go ask around."
Su Xiaoxiao was surprised: "There is a dock in our town?"
Liu Ping said, "It's in the next town, under the jurisdiction of the government post station, adjacent to our town. It's not far if you follow the official road. If you walk fast, you can get there in more than half an hour."
It’s a government post station, no wonder it opens early.
Strictly speaking, the post station is not closed, and there are soldiers on duty on New Year's Eve to prepare for any emergency military or dangerous situations that may occur in various places.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'll go with you."
Since I'm just sitting around at home doing nothing anyway, I might as well go to the ancient horse market and take a look.
"mother!"
The three little ones came running over.
During this period, Su Xiaoxiao has been at home all the time. The three little ones have become accustomed to her company and have become more and more attached to her, and cannot leave her for a moment.
"Da Hu is going."
"Erhu is going too."
"And a hatchet."
Faced with three little guys who always act coquettishly and cutely, Su Xiaoxiao's hard-heartedness that she had cultivated in her previous life was in vain.
"It's a long, long way to go," she said, trying to scare them off.
Xiaohu stretched out his little hand and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, you can go nine (walk), Xiaofu can go nine (walk)."
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. "Okay, okay, you're the winner, you're the winner! " Mrs. Wu reminded her husband, "Go borrow the ox cart from Mr. Li."
Liu Ping glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and replied, "Okay! I'll go right away!"
When Old Li heard that Su Xiaoxiao was going to town, he pulled out his ox cart without saying a word.
Liu Ping wanted to give him money, but Old Li glared at him and said, "What are you doing? Daya is using my ox cart, why should I give you money?"
Liu Ping smiled awkwardly and pulled the ox cart away.
"Sister! I'm going too!" said Su Ergou.
Su Xiaoxiao waved his fat hand and said, "Okay, let's all get on the ox cart!"
Xiao Wu decided not to go to town, she stayed to pickle eggs.
The whole family went out in a proud manner.
Su Xiaoxiao is walking because she wants to lose weight.
The villagers were not too surprised when they saw Liu Ping driving Old Li's ox cart and going out with Xiao Su's family.
The news that Liu Ping owed Su Pangya a debt, which led to the couple selling themselves into slavery, had already spread throughout the village.
Also spreading was the story of how Su Pangya delivered Xiao Zhao on New Year's Eve.
Su Xiaoxiao did not go to the village to visit or gossip, otherwise she would know how big a sensation she had caused.
Not only did he suddenly change his personality, he also turned over a new leaf and started a business.
Not only is she doing business, but she is also a midwife in the village at such a young age!
"What midwife? Pang Ya is more than just a midwife! Have you heard about Yu Niang's story? She almost went to see the King of Hell after giving birth! It was Su Pang Ya who brought her back from the brink of death!"
"Is this true? You must be joking!"
"If you don't believe me, go to Old Su's house and ask!"
When someone really came to ask, the people in the old Su family didn't want to remember Su Pangya's contribution. Su Yu Niang was honest and admitted that it was Su Pangya who cured her.
For a time, Su Pangya became famous in the village!
