Chapter 54: The Welfare of the Transmigrating Woman

Su Zhi watched her cheap mother dragging her little daughter away in a hurry as if escaping for her life, and she exchanged a glance with Shen Zian, and both of them smiled.

The purse was never sold in the end, and Shopkeeper Su felt very sorry about it. He told Su Zhi that if she wanted to sell embroidery products in the future, she should sell them to her.

The young couple left the embroidery shop and got on a ox cart. There was nothing else to buy and they were hungry, so they wanted to find a place to have lunch.

When they were passing a street, they met Li Shi, who was also here to buy things and had a lot of things in his hands. Shen Zian asked him to put the things in the car.

"Okay, this cow and car are good buys. My family doesn't have much land, if I had more, I would have bought one. Brother, rent the cow to me in the spring, and pay me according to the land. Chapter 54: The welfare of the time-traveling woman"

Li Shi took over Shen Zian's position to catch up with the other car. He sat there swinging the whip, his movements looking very professional, and it seemed that he was also an experienced car catcher.

"No need to pay, Brother Stone, just take it and use it. It's too far to talk about paying."

Shen Zian said that Li Shi was very good to him and had taken care of him since he was a child, and he would not argue with Li Shi over a little money.

Li Shi said, "That won't do. Brothers should be clear about accounts. You bought the cow with money. If I don't want money, won't others use your cow for free? You also said that you don't have much land, so I still have that little money."

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Shitou, you don't have to give me money. This morning, when Zi'an and I passed by your house, we saw a persimmon tree planted in your yard. Just give us some persimmons."

Li Shi smiled and said, "If you want to eat persimmons, just go pick them. What's the point of buying them? I went out a few days ago and it was too late to pick the persimmons. I don't know if they are still delicious. Persimmons are soft and I don't like them. If you like them, they are all yours."

"How can that be? Even if we don't eat them, we can still exchange them for money. We will eat your persimmons, Brother Stone. Brother Stone, you use our cattle. That's a deal."

Su Zhi actually didn't want Li Shi to use the cow's money, but she saw that Li Shi was not a person who would take advantage of others, so she proposed to use persimmons to pay for it. She really loved persimmons. Persimmons can be eaten soft after being picked, or they can be eaten crispy, and they can also be dried in the sun to make persimmon cakes. They can be used as snacks in winter.

"Then let's do this." Li Shi said straightforwardly.

The three of them arrived in front of a noodle stall, which was a shed where the shop owner was working. In front of the stall, a mat was propped up with some sticks, and some grass was spread on top to keep out the rain. Below, there were a few broken tables and long benches. There were already quite a few people eating there. Although it was a bit cold now, they were eating hot soup noodles. It wasn't cold at all. People usually left after eating, and no one would freeze here.

Li Shi tied the ox cart aside, Shen Zi helped Su Zhi get off the cart, and as the three of them walked inside, they heard someone greeting them.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Zi'an? Are you here with your wife?"

Su Zhi thought she had met someone she knew. She raised her head and looked over, and saw two women sitting there with two little boys, looking at them. Su Zhi saw that the expression on Shen Zian's face was normal. You know how annoying these two women are, and Su Zhi will give a smile to such people. After all, you have to be social when you are born in the countryside, otherwise others will gossip about you behind your back, and you will not know how to help.

"Sister Shugen, Sister Li, what a coincidence. Wife, this is Sister Shugen, Sister Li. We live not far from the bridge on the west side of the river."

Su Zhi smiled and bowed gently, saying, "Hello, Sister-in-law Shugen, Hello, Sister-in-law Li."

Sister Shugen and Sister Li listened to Su Zhi's gentle voice and thought that this young wife spoke very nicely. At this time, Su Zhi also took off the cloth covering her face. Her hair was combed neatly. Although there were some spots on her face, it was not an eyesore. Except for those pretty young girls and wives, all the peasant women in the village had spots and black skin. Su Zhi was not eye-catching at all. Moreover, her eyes were sparkling, her lips were red and her teeth were white, which made her very likable.

Sister Shugen and Sister Li couldn't help but have a favorable impression of Su Zhi. They had heard that she was a lucky star before, but now she looked like a lucky star at all. She looked like a lucky star with her squinting smile. Thinking about what happened yesterday, she was a lucky star! Immediately, this favorable impression was increased.

"Okay, okay, it looks like my sister is really getting better. Live a good life from now on. There are better days ahead!"

Sister Li was the one who spoke just now. She was slightly plump and a talkative person. Sister Shugen looked gentle and a quiet person with a good temper. She smiled at Su Zhi when she saw her looking at her. There was a little boy sitting next to her. He looked like her and was fair and clean. The boy sitting next to Sister Li was chubby. The two boys were called Li Shi and Shen Zian, and they were looking at Su Zhi.

"Xiaosuo, Huzi, this is your Fourth Uncle Shen's bride, call her Fourth Aunt."

Sister Shugen patted her hands and said to the two children, who immediately shouted happily, and Su Zhi also responded with a smile.

Sister Li said, "Look, we've finished talking. Come on, sit down. The table is empty. Let's eat and talk at the same time."

As she spoke, she called Hu Zi to sit next to her, and Sister Shugen also asked Xiao Suo to sit on a long bench with her.

Su Zhi sat down with a smile, thinking that the villagers no longer cared about her reputation as a bad luck jinx. It seemed that yesterday's actions had worked. She felt amused, thinking that the ancients were like this, deciding a person's fate based on a good or bad thing. Rumors were flying everywhere, spreading from east to west, and in the next second they could say that what was black the previous second was white, as if they had never said it was black before...

Li Shi ordered a bowl of pork noodles, which was made with pork. Beef was rarely sold at that time, and mutton was also rare. Pork was the most common. A bowl of noodles was topped with a few thin slices of meat, and then green and white chopped green onions. It was greasy and steaming, and the big bowl of noodle soup was really appetizing. Shen Zian also ordered two bowls.

Su Zhi saw that the noodles here were noodles, not those thin noodles, which made her feel more appetizing. She picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but she saw the two children looking at her bowl, and then she realized that they were eating vegetarian noodles. She wanted to give them some, but there was not much meat, and if she gave them some, she was a little worried that the children's mother would be embarrassed. She looked at the stall next to her and saw that there were cakes on the table, so she asked Shen Zian to buy some.

Shen Zian bought seven cakes and gave one to each of them. Sisters Shugen and Li kept pushing each other away. Su Zhi handed one to the two children and said, "Eat it, sisters-in-law. Don't be polite. If I go to your house in the future, please give me a cake you made. I will definitely not refuse it."

When Hu Zi saw Su Zhi handing the cake to him, he took it and took a bite, eating it happily. When Xiao Suo saw Hu Zi eating it and saw that his mother was not stopping him, he also took it, said thank you to the fourth aunt, and then started eating.

When Sister Li and Sister Shugen saw that the children were eating with relish, they stopped refusing. Country people are all like that. The children would take the food directly, and the adults would accept it after politely refusing it a few times. If they always refuse, it would make others unhappy.

"Sister, we won't be polite then. You are losing money by selling this. The cakes we make at home are not as delicious as this one. Even if you use white flour, you can't make cakes as delicious as this one. When you go to my house, you have to smell the smell, otherwise you can only eat cornmeal cakes."

Sister Li smiled and said that she also liked to eat the cakes sold outside, but each cake cost a penny, so she was reluctant to buy them. She also saw that Su Zhi bought cakes because she saw the two children were hungry, and bought some for them. This young wife not only has a sharp eye, but also has a good heart. How could such a person be a bad luck star? It seems that the old Shen family really made a mistake this time and was cheated by the old Taoist priest!

Su Zhi smiled and said, "For us farmers, anything is fine as long as it's edible. I'm not picky. I think sister-in-law's cooking must be delicious. Even corn cakes can be delicious. I will definitely go and try it once."

Sister Shugen also said, "Then let's go to my house too."

Su Zhi chatted and laughed with the two women, and soon they became one. She didn't say much, but she kept leading the two women to talk. She found out a lot about the village through their conversations, and made people feel that she spoke when she should and listened when she should, which made the two women like her even more. Even the two kids talked to Su Zhi eagerly, hoping that Su Zhi could look at them and talk to them. It can be said that the affinity that Su Zhi had when she was the human resources manager was displayed here.

Su Zhi felt that the cake was not very delicious. It only had some seasonings, probably salt, onions, garlic, etc. It didn't even have the taste of five-spice powder, let alone sesame paste. She had always heard them say that this was the most delicious cake, and they never mentioned the baked cake. When she and Shen Zian went into the mountains, they even regarded aniseed as weeds. She wondered if there was no five-spice powder in this era? Then wouldn't there be no thirteen spices?

Su Zhi thought of the heroine in the novel who made a fortune by selling pig offal, preserved eggs, hot pot, thirteen spices and the like. She wondered if such a good thing would happen to her.

Su Zhi thought about slowly asking questions, it would be great if it was really like that, but she thought it was probably not the case, this was the benefit of being a time-traveling woman, business opportunities were everywhere!

After they finished their meal, Mrs. Shugen and Mrs. Li took their children and left. The ox cart was loaded with a lot of things and could not accommodate so many people. Su Zhi did not invite them, but the two women understood and said goodbye in a friendly manner.

Li Shi said he wanted to buy some more pork. Shen Zian thought about buying some meat for his wife to change the taste. Su Zhi of course agreed. She had just thought of pig offal, and now she could go and see it right away. It was a good thing.

Su Zhi didn't intend to get rich by selling pig offal, but was just curious whether pig offal in this era was really as trashy as described in novels.
