The original price of grass jelly honey was six cents. Adding crushed ice usually cost three cents, but this time it was only two cents. Adding red beans and mung beans cost two cents, and three flavors of taro balls cost three cents, which equals thirteen cents per portion. One hundred portions cost a total of one tael of silver and three hundred cents.
Su Liuer didn't calculate the shipping and labor costs. She took a deposit of 500 coins and would pay the rest after the goods were delivered tomorrow.
After signing the contract, Su Liuer sent the person away.
There will be a dinner party at noon tomorrow, so Su Liuer plans to not open the shop tomorrow morning.
After selling out in the afternoon and closing the shop, I hung a sign outside the shop indicating that it would open the next afternoon.
Su Liuer and Wang Po went to Qingxi Academy together to pick up Zhu Hongan, and met Zhou Da at the door.
"Madam Su." The wound on Zhou Da's forehead had scabbed over, and a smile of gratitude and respect hung on his face, simple and honest.
Su Liuer smiled back at him, then suddenly remembered that Zhou Da was from Xiayou Village, so she asked, "Are the two brothers from your village who have been away from home returning home? They've renovated their old house and are hosting a party tomorrow?"
Zhou Da's expression was complicated when he heard this. After a moment, he smiled awkwardly and nodded, "That's true. Where did you hear that, Madam Su?"
"This family is having a dinner party tomorrow and asked me to order 100 bottles of grass jelly honey. They just paid the deposit this afternoon. Do you know this family?" Su Liuer naturally noticed Zhou Da's awkwardness. She was not gossiping, she just wanted to find out more.
If there is any problem with this family, she may as well not do this business.
The smile on Zhou Da's face turned bitter for a moment. He sighed heavily and said, "These two brothers are my ex-wife's older brothers. They can be where they are today because of their good sister."
Su Liuer looked at Wang Po, and they were both a little embarrassed for a moment. They never thought that this question would bring up someone else's sad story.
She originally thought that Zhou Chong's mother died early, but now it seems that she has divorced Zhou Da.
Zhou Da waved his hands and said with a relaxed look: "It's all in the past. When she and I divorced, Zhou Chong was still naive. Now he has become a little adult. I have to discuss family matters with him to make decisions. It's fine. We are both fine."
Since everyone said so, Su Liuer could only nod and say, "Zhou Chong is indeed a good boy, smart and sensible."
It’s always right to praise someone’s son!
Zhou Da's face brightened up after hearing this, and he said modestly, "That's still a little behind your Hong'an. I heard from Zhou Chong that Hong'an got first place in the monthly exam. He's only four years old, that's really smart!"
Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Zhou Chong and Hong An are tied for first place this time. He's quite impressive too. I heard Master Liang will give out prizes to the top three in each class today. Is that why you're here?"
"You're not afraid of being laughed at by Auntie, really. I heard Zhou Chong say yesterday that there would be rewards today, so I wanted to come and see and have some fun with him, so I came here after selling the mung bean soup."
What followed was a business exchanging of praise between Wang Po and Zhou Da. When they talked about their own children, they were both happy and humble, but when they talked about the other's children, they praised them in various ways.
Su Liuer looked at the cheerful Mrs. Wang and felt a little unfamiliar with her.
Why did she remember her mother-in-law always being sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, aloof and aloof, and not accommodating to others? Why was she so talkative today? And smiling so happily? Her face even had more wrinkles than usual!
"mother!"
"father!"
Two children, one big and one small, holding hands, shouted from afar and trotted towards the entrance of the academy, each holding something in their arms.
