Chapter 120 Catching Bandits
On the evening of the 20th day of the first lunar month, Su Ji's barbecue stall closed for business and everyone went to the host's house for a start-of-work dinner. Even Hua Ping was called over. Two large tables were set up in the dining room, steaming hot.
There were many people in the family, and everyone opened their mouths to beg for food. Feng Acao had seen this before, but the table was filled with meat and vegetables, so much that they couldn't be eaten. This was the first time she had seen this in her life. She panicked and sighed, and was completely at a loss. She clung to her daughter like a child who had never been out of the house.
Xianggui had also been through this step before, and she knew her mother very well as she had never left the mountains. She reached out and quietly calmed her mother's panicked heart. Before Feng Acao could whisper to her daughter, the Dong family came in.
As soon as Su Yanli showed up, Feng Acao almost dropped her jaw in sighing. She then knew how handsome and noble the great official her two nephews had been talking about was. He was truly like a god. She had never seen a more handsome man in her life.
Su Yanli didn't know what an old lady was like. He smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Please feel free to take a seat."
Old Man Feng took the lead and stepped forward to pay his respects. "This old man greets the great official. I am very sorry for the expense."
"Father Feng, you're welcome. Please sit down."
"Hey." The big official was always approachable, and Old Man Feng was used to it and was not afraid. He asked him to sit down, and he sat at the servants' table.
Afterwards, Dashi came with his wife, Ershi came with his cousin and aunt, and Mother Dong and Hua Ping came one by one to pay their respects to Su Yanli and his wife.
People came and went, and finally everyone sat down at the table.
Su Yanli picked up the wine glass and said the polite words that the host should say, and finally sat down to eat. In order to let the servants eat freely, the Su family left the table after eating, allowing the servants to eat and drink slowly and comfortably.
Shu Tong brought his wife to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, and everyone ate with great satisfaction.
After dinner, Su Ruojin and her brother distributed red envelopes to everyone, "Everyone work hard, and we will give you big red envelopes at the end of the year."
The young master's words were true. When they returned home before the New Year, all the Feng family members received red envelopes. With the money they earned last year, Feng Wangtian will rebuild the house at home this year. Their family will be the first family in the village to live in a tall, bright, large house with a big yard.
All this is thanks to the opportunity given by the boss.
Feng Wangtian held the red envelope and asked, "Second Madam, the villagers heard that the grass dragon balls are valuable, so they have been collecting the grass dragon balls from the mountains this year. Each family is raising them carefully. When they are ripe, can you buy them all?"
"Buy it!" Su Ruojin was looking forward to it. It would be another source of income. How great!
"Hey." Father Feng was very happy that the villagers' request had been fulfilled. "So do they also collect mushrooms that they dry normally?"
Su Ruojin nodded, "I'll take them all. If there are things I don't need, I'll find a channel to help them sell them so they can rest assured."
"well."
Feng Acao was confused at first, but the more she listened, the more she understood, and her eyes lit up. She married to another village, but her mother's village had made a lot of money from hawthorns in the past two years. She also took the hawthorns to her mother's house and made some money. She didn't expect that wild products such as mushrooms in the mountains could also be sold for money. She was so happy that she wanted to go home now to pick them from the mountain and then bring them back to sell for money.
Xianggui sensed her mother's joy and understood after a moment's thought, so she gave up the idea of giving her money and instead bought some cakes and cloth for her mother to take back. This way, her mother wouldn't have to make a wasted trip to the capital, and the Chen family wouldn't be counting on her money.
Xianggui, who was worried about what to do just now, suddenly figured it out. Her brows relaxed unconsciously and she stood relaxed among the crowd. At this moment, she completely stopped thinking about the flower guards.
Let's not talk about her and her family. She can't even have children. What's the use of having those thoughts of love? Amid the noisy voices, Xianggui persuaded herself to be more pragmatic.
After handing out the red envelopes, Su Ruojin left Mother Dong alone and said, "Li Xiuzhu will be your apprentice."
Mother Dong instinctively asked, "What if she leaks her skills to others?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "We didn't pass it on to others. Aren't there many stalls in Beijing that sell xiaolongbao and siomai just like ours?"
Those who saw that Su Ji’s breakfast was selling well bought various Su Ji breakfasts and took them back to imitate them. No matter how they tasted, they looked similar in appearance. There was no telling how many such stalls there were in the entire capital.
Mother Dong is not optimistic about Li Xiuzhu. "It's not that I'm taking advantage of my age, but I always feel that this girl will be an ungrateful person in the end."
Su Ruojin is not really eight years old. In her previous life, she worked in the catering industry and had dozens, if not hundreds, of employees under her. How could she not have met such people before?
Mother Dong didn't like Li Xiuzhu and kept reminding her so much. After thinking about it, Su Ruojin listened to the advice and gave up the idea of letting Li Xiuzhu go to the shop to learn the skills. After all, there are still secrets in the breakfast shop, such as the soup in the dumplings and the noodles for making rice rolls. No matter how much the stalls outside imitate, no one can make these two things. These have become Su's unique things.
Su Ruojin nodded, "That's what mom is thinking about."
Mother Dong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little master just needed to listen to advice.
Two days later, Feng Wangtian took her sister back to her hometown. Feng Acao held a bunch of good things bought by her daughter, and thought that the things in the mountain could be sold for money. She had long forgotten the task given to her by the Chen family. It was not until she returned home and was severely scolded by her mother-in-law and husband that she realized it.
"Ah...Ah Gui was sold to a wealthy family. The wealthy family said that if we dare to bring him back, he would put us all in jail!"
Mrs. Chen didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask my brother. Agui's boss is a high-ranking official. When he stands in front of me, I'm so scared that I kneel down. How can I dare to bring Agui back?"
Speaking of Feng Wangtian, Mrs. Chen stopped scolding. She was a snobbish person. She heard that every family in Lishan Village made money thanks to her daughter-in-law and younger brother. The Chen family also had hawthorns to take over, but if it weren't for Acao, she might not have been willing to accept them.
Because Feng Acao wanted to sell hawthorns to the Feng family this year, he escaped the disaster.
The first month of the year is over and the New Year is also over.
Life returned to normal. With Ding, Mao Ya, and Li Xiuzhu in the family, and with the hard-working Lu Dani, Su Ruojin and her son were completely freed from housework.
Little Silang had just learned to walk, and he would stroll in the alley every day to play with the children in the alley. Su Ruojin would take Sanlang and Silang to play in the alley every day. She would either take them to play Eagle Catches Chicken, Catch Marbles, or Soldiers Catch Bandits. Anyway, the whole alley was filled with their laughter.
When Zhao Lan and Fan Yanjia came to eat again, Su Ruojin, the "chief of the officers and soldiers", was catching "bandits". "Arong, in front, Sanlang is in front, hurry up and catch him..."
Yang Si Niang tripped and felt a little pain, so she couldn't run. Su Ruojin had no choice but to put Si Lang against the wall and said, "Hold on, don't move." Then she ran to catch San Lang, the "bandit".
The little bandit saw Zhao Lan and Fan Yanjia and quickly hid behind them.
Su Ruojin chased after them, and the brother and sister ran around Zhao Fan and the other man, "I caught you, I caught you..." She was sweating profusely as she ran, but she refused to let Su Sanlang go.
There will be another update in the evening!
