The Imperial Concubine Chef

Xu Sihai sold the fruit soup for three hundred silver, and he had given the money to Su Xinyu personally.

Because of the previous transaction of silver, Madam Liu and Madam Su knew that Xu Sihai was Tian Liyong's master, and wouldn't harm them. Therefore, when Tian Liyong returned from the Guard Camp, he sent a message to them, asking them to personally bring the little girl to the shop, Madam Liu and Madam Su didn't think too much about it. Furthermore, they did not stop Shopkeeper Xu from talking to Su Xinyu alone.

Su Xinyu didn't think that the three hundred silver was so expensive. Furthermore, the shopkeeper Xu was already very considerate to change all the silver notes to the ones with small denominations. She also understood that this was Young Master Wen's intention. Of course, the most important thing was that she knew that although this Dry-Fruit Noodle Roll was very simple, there weren't many people who ate it and sold it at a high price as an auspicious item. Therefore, the audience that the Dry-Fruit Noodle Roll faced was either rich or expensive, so three hundred taels of silver was not a big deal for those people.

However, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you for your help, Shopkeeper Xu. But there are two more things I want to ask of you. "

Manager Xu smiled and nodded, "Just tell me, Lady Zhou." I am duty-bound to help if I can. "

Su Xinyu sighed: "You should know about my family's situation. It's not that I'm ruthless, but that I can live for my mother and myself. I must keep the money for myself. My mother's heart was too soft, and my grandparents and aunts weren't that easy to deal with. My father never came to my home and only knew about the Imperial Examinations. I had to make plans for my mother and myself. "So you just say that you gave me eighty silvers later, is that okay?"

He would even dare to kill people in the harem at the age of the Zhou Family girl, not to mention that he was only planning to live a good life for himself and his mother. "Thus, Manager Xu did not feel that there was any problem." I understand. What about the other one? "

Su Xinyu laughed: "This matter is also beneficial to you. I believe the Big Brother Yong has also told you. The almond walnuts and sunflower seeds in the dried fruit we have here. It was just that no one had cared about it before. I thought, "In the future, these things will be supplied by our village. Although the quantity may not be satisfactory, but without you, we can go back and buy more, so you don't need to take so much." More or less, it's giving our village a hand. Furthermore, those peanuts and seeds can be planted, and my step grandfather said that he would plant them in the fields every year. If it's feasible, would Shopkeeper Xu be able to purchase it and sell it? "

Shopkeeper Xu did not expect Su Xinyu to tell him this, and upon hearing it, he was startled, then laughed out loud: "Good, good, good! The Lady Xinyu is too righteous! Wealth is not avaricious, can benefit the neighbors. Your heart is something that no one else has. Although I am a businessman, but the benefits of mutual benefit in the countryside will not refuse. Good! As long as Two-boundary Village can be supplied, I will accept them all. But did you ever think of letting the villagers know that it was you who did it? "

Su Xinyu thought for a moment, and in the end, shook her head: "Forget it, to avoid trouble, it's better to let the Big Brother Yong shoulder this good reputation. After all, he was a man. It was better to tell others what he was doing. If it were me, who can guarantee that it would be good words. "

"Xu Sihai was admiring and sighing a little as he watched such a slightly older girl see through so many things. Good. "As you wish."

After receiving the eighty taels of silver from Manager Xu. Madam Su's hands were trembling, to the point that she didn't dare to receive them.

However, Madam Liu was already calm. She had gotten the one hundred and fifty taels previously. "What's the big deal about this eighty taels of silver?" What are you doing? Take it. Otherwise, I will just have to let the little girl carry it all by herself. "

"It was only then that Madam Su woke up from its stupor and hurriedly took the silver notes. "Many thanks."

Manager Xu smiled. "Yes, I want to thank Lady Zhou. Without Lady Zhou's good idea, even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to sell myself for that much money." Madam's daughter will definitely be rich in the future. "If you are willing to let Miss Zhou have more opportunities to interact with the outside world, I'm sure that a normal man would not be able to do as well as Miss Zhou."

Hearing that someone praised his daughter to be stronger than even a man, Madam Su was naturally happy. But as a parent, they would always be willing to be humble, and Madam Su was no exception. Not at all. Manager Xu, you flatter me. "

Xu Sihai naturally did not do it for the sake of greeting Madam Su. The three of them were not suitable to stay in the shop for long, so he wrapped up some dried fruits and a box of brushes and ink for Su Xinyu and let the three of them leave. He still had many things to do. The throne of power seemed far away from his reach, but for people like them, it was a matter that concerned their lives.

Carrying these banknotes, Madam Su was both happy and uneasy. He was happy that his daughter was able to earn money that no one else could save in half of their lifetime just by thinking about it in front of the stove at home. However, what he was worried about was his capable daughter. If her future was ruined because of his inability, then wouldn't she be a sin if she were to be entrusted with something in the future?

Madam Liu and Su Xinyu were very happy along the way. Because it was summer, and it was too hot to travel at noon, Madam Liu decided to bring the mother and daughter pair to the teahouse to listen to books. While drinking tea and eating snacks, she listened to interesting stories, and the afternoon passed leisurely. It was probably because the storyteller's story was too attractive. As Madam Su listened, she forgot about her previous dilemma.

The three of them had come back to the village before the lights were lit. Farmers like them ate their meals before nightfall. It wasn't because he was saving oil lamps, but because he didn't eat lunch when he was free. Then naturally, he would eat dinner earlier. The weather had cooled down, and a group of people were chatting casually outside. So when the three of them came back, they hired a donkey cart and carried a lot of things with them. This became the target of the villagers' attention again.

"There were those who were so envious that their lives were going well, whispering to each other." Tsk. Look at the life of the High Scholar's wife. The old granny had not recovered yet, so she went back to wait on the others. This is indeed good to be rich. "

"Some people would not be able to listen." That's what he said. It was as if Wenlan was embroidering until she couldn't be seen everyday. Do you think everyone in the village is blind? In this half a year, Zhou Tian's family was paralyzed on the bed, but was it not Wenlan who served tea and piss on the bed, or was it you who did it? Just I have seen Wenlan sell her embroidery multiple times, and that money has all been given to his husband to take the exam. Do you think you can be like him and stay at home all day? "

"Exactly. They envied him for his good days, and even cut off that lazy piece of meat for themselves. "

"Of course not. I heard. Madam Wang didn't say anything on the surface after she was brought back, but she did give a lot of face to Madam Su behind her back. I say, the Madam Su is still too soft, why didn't he learn how to be temper from the two wives of the Tian Family? When Zhou Sanlang becomes an official in the future, and then marry off a few concubines, how will she be able to make it out of it? "

"I have to say. It was more important to have a son as soon as possible. With a direct son, there will be no need for us to be afraid of many foxes in the future. "

Su Wenlan naturally did not know what these people were saying after the three of them went back. When they got home, the most important thing for the three of them was to hide the money. Adding on the 100 taels of silver previously, the 2 taels of silver secretly saved by Su Wenlan for sewing and the money she used to buy the embroidery balls, to the farmers, this was already a huge sum of money.

"Seventh Aunt, where do you think it should be placed?" Su Wenlan had originally placed the money inside the small jar under the bed, but later on she felt that it wasn't safe, so she buried the jar in the ground. It had taken her a very long time to calm down. Now that she had another eighty taels of silver, she began to feel that it wasn't safe to put it in the jar again.

Madam Liu understood Madam Su's feelings very well. Forget about Madam Su, even she had started to feel worried. It was better to share the silver. Why not put it in the girl's room? "No one would have guessed that you would hide money in a child's house. Moreover, this silver was earned by a little girl in the first place."

Madam Su made sense when they heard it, so the two of them moved Su Xinyu's bed away, dug up the limestone tiles below, and buried a jar inside. Seeing Seventh Grandmother and Mother in this state, Su Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How difficult it would be to take out the silver when it was time to use it. It seemed like they would have to put the silver aside. She had to take it out and put it in space.

It was the hottest time of the year. Even the most hardworking people only wanted to fan themselves in the shade at this time. Su Xinyu was no longer in the mood to go up the mountain, but because the windows were all open, she could not casually enter the mountain, so she had to stay with the rest and enjoy the heat. Fortunately, the temperature wasn't too high. Su Xinyu had secretly tested it without using a thermometer, and it was only 33-4 degrees at its warmest. Compared to her previous life, when she occasionally reached 40 degrees Celsius, this was definitely an acceptable temperature.

After Madam Su had boiled the green bean soup, he hung it in the well to cool off for a while before bringing it out. He poured a bowl for Seventh Aunt and his daughter. Then he poured out a large bowl and carried it to his parents-in-law's house.

In fact, Madam Su also knew that people would always criticize her for giving things to her in-laws from Seventh Aunt, but now, she had to pay Seventh Aunt some silver coins every month. Although Seventh Aunt was also a symbolic amount, at least she felt a lot more at ease. Being able to earn money, he naturally had more confidence, and his waist was only slightly thicker than the Madam Ping's. As she passed by the trees, some of the long-tongued women could laugh it off just by saying a few words. But today, just as she reached the door of her in-laws house, she heard a commotion inside.

"It's my fault again? Why is it my fault?! What if I make some green bean soup? Those green beans can't even be used? " Hearing that the loud voice belonged to Madam Wang.

"The one arguing with Madam Wang was not Madame Wu but Chow Dalang. Say I won't let you use it? You've already finished cooking and drunk it yourself, have you ever thought about your parents? "

"Just that handful of beans. Do you expect to make a pot of porridge? My son has already used his life to exchange for some silver, so what if I just eat a few green beans? "

Madam Su was giving him a huge headache. It was impossible to bring a bowl of green bean soup in, but it would be impossible if he did not bring it in. He could only stand at the door in a daze.

Suddenly the door opened. The one who opened the door was Madam Wang. When Madam Wang saw Madam Su carrying a bowl, even though she did not know it was green bean soup, she knew that it was definitely for the two old men. Do you need me? Isn't this what people are doing!? "

"Madam Su is truly angry." Sister-in-law, mother's health is not good, has not completely recovered, the husband said that the most afraid is anger. What can't you two talk about? Do you really have to argue so loud that your parents can hear you? "
