The two people who were splashed on their heads and faces left cursing, and asked Su Liuer to wait for them to come back and settle the score with her.
Su Liuer sneered. She couldn't beat these two gossips?
She was not panicked at all and continued watering.
After watering the plants, no one came to settle the accounts, so Su Liuer went to the kitchen to help.
Mrs. Wang was cooking porridge. She was reluctant to use rice, and she used white rice. The three of them also ate white rice last night. No wonder Mrs. Wang bought rice in the town yesterday. It turned out that she had already planned to let the mother and son stay.
Su Liuer felt warm in her heart and spoke more gently: "Mother-in-law, go to the house and rest. I will cook."
"Yeah." Mrs. Wang responded and went out.
Su Liuer added more water to the porridge, and after the porridge was cooked, she served a separate bowl of rice soup. The rice soup would help the grass jelly solidify and take shape.
On the stove were a handful of washed leeks and two eggs. Su Liuer knew that they were for breakfast without Wang Po telling her. She didn't know how to cook in her previous life, but the Zhu family taught her to be a good cook.
She got a good deal, as the simple fried leeks and eggs turned out delicious!
While eating, Mrs. Wang's eyes widened again, but she said nothing and just ate three full bowls of porridge.
Zhu Hongan's small belly was able to hold two large bowls of porridge. After eating, he touched his round belly and burped, with a small bit of golden scrambled egg still remaining at the corner of his mouth.
Su Liuer wiped his mouth with a smile. In the past, Liuer could always find ways to make the meals for Zhu's family delicious. But before, they could only eat leftovers, and there would be no eggs in the leftovers. Most of the time, they would just drink porridge to fill their stomachs.
"When I make money from selling herbal jelly, I'll buy you some meat."
Zhu Hongan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he immediately shook his head and said, "No, eat it." The meat is too expensive.
Su Liuer smiled and didn't say much to the child. She told him that her son would eat the meat when she bought it.
After clearing the dishes, Su Liuer started to make the grass jelly jelly. As for the ten taels of silver, she would use it when she needed it, but she absolutely could not just sit back and enjoy all the money. She still had to earn money herself!
-
This time, Su Liuer did not take shortcuts by using ice spikes to make the grass jelly. Instead, she let it slowly cool and take shape in a large porcelain basin, making two large basins in total.
Su Liuer was not greedy. Today was her first day selling in town and she didn't know if it would be popular, so two large basins were enough.
The sugar cubes were crushed and ground into sugar residue, but they were not put directly into the grass jelly. Instead, they were put back into the jar and added when they were sold. The cost of the sugar cubes was the highest in this transaction.
Mrs. Wang only has these few candies. If she can sell them all today, she will have to buy more.
"I'll go with you."
"Thank you for your hard work, mother-in-law!" Su Liuer was not familiar with the town, so it would be good to have Wang Po's help.
The large porcelain basin was covered with a clean linen cloth to prevent it from getting dirty, and then placed in the hanging basket. The carrying pole could just hold both ends. Su Liuer was thin but strong, so it was easy for her to carry the basket.
Su Liuer carried her shoulder pole all the way to the village entrance. Passersby pointed at her and talked about her without any reservation. They were very friendly to Wang Po, but Wang Po didn't even look at them.
What those two gossips said this morning was right. Mrs. Wang was indeed cold to others. Su Liuer felt that she was really lucky to have the help of the cold Mrs. Wang.
The donkey cart at the entrance of the village had not returned from the town yet. Those who were going to the town were waiting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Mrs. Wang calculated the time before going out, so she shouldn't have to wait too long.
Su Liuer found a corner and put down her carrying pole. Then she heard a familiar voice say strangely, "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you carrying? Are you going to sell it in town?"
As Fang Chunhua was talking, she came over to lift the cloth on the porcelain basin. Su Liuer put down the picking pole in her hand, and it hit Fang Chunhua's back of the hand so accurately.
"Ouch! You bitch hit me again!" Fang Chunhua was so angry that she raised her hand to hit back. She had been holding a grudge against Su Liuer for poking her yesterday morning. If it weren't for that bitch's dirty trick, Wang Gui wouldn't have stood on her side!
