Chapter 36: Manager Sun's Bed Collapse
[Some are sweet and some are sweet!] The plump steward Sun next to her had a good meal yesterday and was in a good mood. She was in the mood to practice martial arts with the man in the evening, but she was afraid that the children would hear and disturb their rest, so she moved to the bamboo couch outside.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo couch was tied with bamboo strips cut by the naughty kid at home. When the two were fighting fiercely, the bamboo couch suddenly collapsed, waking up everyone in the family.
Her man was so shy that he tore off a piece of clothing to cover his head and ran out. His father thought he was a wild man, so he blocked him and beat him up. He begged for mercy with his bare butt, hahahaha...]
Su Qianqian: [Hahaha, this is so funny! 】
Qin Yuzhuo looked at Qin Yuqi: Why do you have to be naked when practicing martial arts?
Qin Yuqi: What's there to be shy about in practicing martial arts?
Manager Sun: Who is this? Is there a goblin living next door to my house? No, the voice behind is clearly the Marquis’s wife!
Manager Zheng was also full of confusion: Why does someone know what I did? Is it a manifestation of the Bodhisattva? But why did the Bodhisattva go to see the couple practicing martial arts...
[Although Manager Sun dressed in time and ran back to the bedroom last night, she was still ridiculed by her sisters-in-law. The man later got annoyed with her and blamed her for not feeding him enough. 】
At this moment, Manager Sun wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He didn't know what kind of monster knew so much!
[In fact, this is not Manager Sun's fault at all. It's because her eldest uncle's martial arts skills are not good enough to satisfy her eldest uncle's wife's need to practice martial arts. She is very jealous of Manager Sun's appearance of being well-nourished by rain and dew.
She heard from the children that Manager Sun and his wife often slept on the bamboo couch at night, so she became malicious and instigated the children to cut the bamboo strips, which led to the collapsed bed incident. 】
[So that's how it is. This is a typical hatred of the rich. I don't have as much as you do, so why? Hahahaha...] Su Qianqian laughed heartily in her heart.
Manager Sun's feeling of shame and embarrassment turned into anger: No wonder my uncle's wife came so quickly. It turned out that she had been listening to the noise every night, waiting to see the show. I will tear her face apart when I get back!
Manager Zheng glanced at Manager Sun with sympathy. They were all women who were bullied by their uncle and sister-in-law!
Butler Qin Fu and Nanny Cheng looked at each other and silently decided that in the future, in addition to doing their job properly and not taking any crooked paths, they would also try their best to help Manager Zheng, as such good people were rare.
After finishing the housework, Su Qianqian prepared to go back to the yard to change her clothes and pick up a few tomatoes for the old lady and the ladies to taste, but she saw two little girls following her all the way.
Su Qianqian, sitting in the sedan chair, looked at the little girl walking vigorously on the ground:
"Aren't you two tired? What are you following me for?"
"Not tired, not tired. The two of us have to protect the third brother's sister-in-law. If the third sister-in-law has anything that she can't lift, or fruits that she can't eat, the two of us can help!"
Qin Yuzhuo quickly patted his chest, looking very responsible.
Qin Yuqi: Third sister, do you have to make it so clear?
Su Qianqian's idea was exactly what she wanted. Qin Yuzhuo's childhood sweetheart Zhou Jingnan was the youngest son of Marquis Jinyang and was deeply loved by Marquis Jinyang's wife. If Qin Yuzhuo could sell tomatoes, she would get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, we must make use of the families of the other ladies in the marquis' mansion whenever possible.
After planting tomatoes, I don’t know if they can be transplanted. If they can be successfully transplanted into the soil, the yield will be incomparable to that of the small garden. Her small space is only suitable for laboratories and cannot be used for mass production.
And it's not just tomatoes, there are many other rare plants of this era, but because of her poor cooking skills, they cannot be developed into delicious dishes.
No matter what time it is, money is the greatest confidence and the most useful stepping stone to open all channels. Su Qianqian will never give up making money.
Thinking of those medicines again, Su Qianqian felt more confident. It is true that possessing a treasure is a crime, but being penniless is even more terrifying. With the locked elixir in her hand, she doesn't believe that she can't find someone who wants to live longer!
Back at Tinglan Courtyard, Qin Yuzhuo and her sister were sitting in the flower hall, waiting anxiously.
Until Su Qianqian came out after changing into comfortable clothes, the maid Su Xing next to her brought out a tray with six large, red, round and shiny fruits on it, which gave off a sweet fragrance.
Qin Yuzhuo swallowed hard.
"This is the fruit I planted. It's called tomato. It can be used for cooking or eating. Let's take it to grandma to taste."
[My lady, you just made one, it’s so delicious that I kept biting my tongue. I’m just afraid that if you take these tomatoes out, people will come to ask for them tomorrow. 】
Qin Yuzhuo swallowed again, reached out and grabbed the tray, scaring Su Xing.
"Didn't I tell you to leave anything you can't carry to me!" Qin Yuzhuo hugged the tray tightly and smiled flatteringly.
Su Xing: Miss Third, please don’t take my job!
[It doesn’t matter. Isn’t it a good thing to have a market? Besides, who would have the nerve to ask for such a precious fruit for free? I wouldn’t give it to you even if I’m embarrassed!
Without showing any sincerity in exchange, they just want to get something for nothing. I will get rid of such people! 】
Su Qianqian sat in the sedan chair, and Qin Yuzhuo followed closely with a tray to Fushou Hall.
A plate of tomatoes was placed on the table. Old Madam Qin couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was someone who got bored at the sight of food, but now she had an appetite inexplicably.
Su Qianqian asked someone to bring a knife and cut the washed tomatoes, revealing the red and sandy flesh. The sweet and sour fruit aroma became even more intense.
Several ladies and young ladies came specially after receiving the news. They watched Su Qianqian cut the fruit into crescent shapes, put them on small plates and distributed them to everyone.
The elders didn't eat, and the younger generations didn't dare to open their mouths. Old Madam Qin took the first bite, her eyes widened instantly, and she actually wolfed it down in a few bites!
What are you waiting for? Qin Yuzhuo just took a sip of the juice and squinted his eyes in happiness. He was reluctant to finish it so quickly, so he took small bites...
[So this is how Yu Zhuo got his name...] Su Qianqian guessed secretly.
Qin Yuzhuo suddenly choked, and quickly finished the food in big mouthfuls, wishing he could lick all the juice in the dish.
"Qianqian, these tomatoes are hard to grow, right? Grandma has never eaten such a sweet and sour fruit in her life. I wonder if she will be able to eat it in the future?"
Old Madam Qin was worthy of being someone who had followed the old marquis on an expedition. Although she was testing whether Su Qianqian had any inventory, her words were said in a very roundabout way.
"Although it is difficult to grow, there are always tomatoes for my grandmother to eat. These tomatoes can not only be used as fruits, but also as dishes. They can be used as gifts in the future. It is also very appropriate."
Su Qianqian blinked when she said this, and Old Madam Qin immediately understood what she meant. She was secretly glad that Qin Hanzhang did not divorce his wife. If such a person hated the Wuning Marquis Mansion, then the Wuning Marquis Mansion would never have a good ending!
"What's that smell? Grandma, what delicious food did you eat?" Qin Hanjue walked in while sniffing, followed by several masters of the Qin family.
Su Qianqian: The biggest drawback of tomatoes is that they have a smell...
