Chapter 100 Two Big Tails
The cold wind was howling outside, there was a charcoal fire inside, Cheng Yingzhen and her son were sobbing and talking about the past pains, and they comforted each other.
"Mom, don't worry. My husband and Jin have already thought of a plan. During the Chinese New Year, we will take advantage of the opportunity to buy a servant and bring you home. From now on, we will live together and never be separated again."
Mrs. Ding was afraid of implicating her daughter, "What if your stepmother knew?"
Cheng Yingzhen pursed her lips and sobbed, unable to speak.
Su Ruojin had no choice but to speak: "Grandma, on the surface you are already... a dead person. When you appear in front of the world again, you will no longer be surnamed Ding, but a new surname. As for what the new surname is, Dad is asking someone to help arrange it. When it's done, you will appear in our house as a slave. This... you... don't mind, right?"
"Of course I don't care... Of course I don't care..." She was willing to do anything as long as she could be with her daughter.
With hope, Mrs. Ding's gray heart gradually lightened up. Seeing that it was almost midnight, she couldn't bear to see her son-in-law and granddaughter suffer, so she quickly pushed her daughter to go back first, "Anyway, we will be together soon, there is no need to rush now."
After seeing her mother and knowing that everything was fine, Cheng Yingzhen felt relieved. The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while before reluctantly leaving.
After September, it was October. With the arrival of Old Man Feng, a new round of hawthorn business began. Both hawthorn slices and candied haws were abundant and good, but there were not enough people!
Su Yanli recommended someone: "How about Shi Er who helps me take care of your grandma?"
Ding is now hiding in the inn and no longer needs him. It is cold in winter and Shi Er has no proper job. Without the monthly salary given by Su Yanli, his life is difficult. Two days ago, he went to the Imperial College to ask for his help in finding a job.
"What's his character like?"
"I've done my best to take care of your grandma."
"Okay, let's try it out for a month. If it works out, I'll hire you permanently."
Su Yanli nodded.
Shi Er didn't expect that Dr. Su would actually introduce him to a job, and it was actually his own business. He was so happy that he patted his chest and said, "Master Su, don't worry. From now on, I, Shi Er, am yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I have no second thoughts."
Su Yanli smiled slightly and said, "Go to my house to find my daughter. She will make the arrangements."
"Okay."
At this moment, Shi Er happily ran to the Su family because he had a job. When he saw Dr. Su's seven-year-old daughter, he opened his mouth in surprise, "Little...little lady..."
It’s so small, is it reliable?
Su Ruojin saw his doubtful look and smiled, "It's okay if Second Uncle Shi doesn't want to do it."
"No, no, no..." It's winter, and Shi Er has finally found a job. He will not leave. He is a young lady, as long as there is work and money to be made, it's fine.
Su Ruojin gave him the business of selling hawthorn slices. "It's on the street in front of Xiangguo Temple. We sold it last year and the business was pretty good. It's up to you to see how it goes this year."
"Little boss, I don't know how to sell it?"
Su Ruojin then explained the details of the retail sales to him one by one, and finally said, "The more you sell, the more commission you get. If you sell less..."
"I understand..." Shi Er didn't expect that he was not getting dead money but living money. His enthusiasm suddenly increased and he wanted to set up a stall and start selling right away.
Candied haws, hawthorn wine and hawthorn cake were not suitable for display, so Su Ruojin planned to wholesale them to grocery stores or pastry shops. However, before she even left the house, her right neighbor Madam Yang and Nanny Qin from the Fan Mansion came to her and asked for the goods in Su Ruojin's hands.
In the end, the two families divided up the Su family’s goods.
Su Ruojin: ...Then isn't she just a middleman, just taking the money? Fine, she built the bridge, so she should still take the money.
Feng Wangtian sighed, "I remember the first time I entered the capital. Standing at the city gate, we didn't even know where to sell our goods. We finally found a grocery store but were ripped off. I didn't expect that thanks to the help of the young master, I can get money without any worries. The young master is really amazing!"
Su Ruojin was not modest: "We have to thank my father. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in the eyes of the Fan family."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Feng Wangtian once again felt the importance of studying to become an official, and secretly said that he would let his eldest grandson study hard after returning home.
Su Ruojin agreed with Old Man Feng to deliver goods every ten days until the hawthorn products were sold out.
The goods were made by people from Lishantun, and sold by the Fan and Yang families. Su Ruojin was in the mood to make soup for her master and benefactor, and asked Mao Ya to deliver it to her every afternoon before dinner. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, she said to Mao Ya, "Why don't you let Uncle Hua eat at my house in the evening, just like at noon, so that he doesn't have to heat it up again when it gets cold in the shop."
Mao Ya nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
Today, I asked Sister Mao Ya to send me a simplified version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The real Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contains dozens of precious ingredients, with eighteen main ingredients and more than ten auxiliary ingredients blended together.
The main ingredients are: abalone, shark trotter tips, shiitake mushrooms, shark fins, fish maws, scallops, sea cucumbers, fish lips, pigeon eggs, scallops, spare ribs, etc.; auxiliary ingredients include shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cabbage, razor clams, red dates, etc.
The ingredients complement each other, the flavors are mutual, and the nutritional value is extremely high. It is a traditional famous dish that combines the best of land and sea delicacies, and is famous both at home and abroad.
Su Ruojin's simplified version only contains abalone, pig's trotter tips, flower mushrooms, scallops and spareribs, as well as wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots, red dates, etc. brought by Father Feng. It tastes great and is especially nutritious.
It is stewed every ten days. Not only Hua Ping eats it, but the Su family also eats it. It is nutritious and luxurious. Fortunately, I make money now, otherwise I really can't afford it.
When it was getting dark, Su Yanli came back, followed by two big men.
After not seeing each other for a month or two, Fan Yanjia and Zhao Lan had grown taller. The two skinny young men stood in front of Su Ruojin, and she had to look up at them.
This... is outrageous!
She looked down at her own small body. Wasn't she only five years older? Was she two heads taller?
No, now is not the time to talk about height. Su Ruojin looked at his father in confusion. Why did he bring these two boys back?
Fan Yanjia grinned, "If there is anything I don't understand in the classroom, I will come back to ask the doctor for advice."
Su Ruojin sneered secretly, asking for advice was fake, but eating for free was real! She rolled her eyes and asked her father to lead the guest in.
Of course Su Yanli also understood what the students’ real purpose was. It was just a meal, no big deal.
Mao Ya brought the soup pot to Hua Ping's house, "Master..."
"Leave it there!" Hua Ping lazily lay on the bed.
"Master, the soup is getting cold. Why don't you eat with the host from now on?"
That won’t work. If we don’t bring out the soup, how can anyone eat it?
Hua Ping shook his head, "I'm still used to being alone."
Maoya...
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, she had to give up: "The soup is still hot, eat it while it's hot. I just met a senior official taking guests home at the entrance of the alley, I have to go back to serve him." After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Hua Ping also slowly stood up, preparing to take the soup to the courtyard, but suddenly realized what was happening and ran outside, "Mao girl, the guest you just mentioned is..."
"Young Master Fan and Young Prince Zhao..." Mao Ya turned around and replied, then left the shop.
Young Prince Zhao? Hua Ping suddenly raised his head and laughed, hahaha… I can finally finish a can of soup by myself!
Mr. Shen, who was waiting in the courtyard, said: ...It's already dark, why haven't any of you arrived yet?
My dears, there will be another update in the evening, so don’t wait for it at noon!
Thank you to all the friends who voted for Binghe. Thank you for your strong support, which keeps Binghe on the voting list.
Love you guys, May Day, I’ll update more for you guys!
