The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 72 Pressure
Because of the arrival of Lu Jinkang and his group, the family not only didn't use a grain of food from the Su family, but passively added a lot of things, such as tables, chairs and benches, such as pots and pans, such as rows of bacon sausages hanging under the eaves...

Suddenly there are so many things, Su Yunduo said that he is very stressed, but there is nothing he can do.

Su Yunduo really wanted to invite Lu Jinkang back to the inn in Linxi Town after hunting, but as long as he met Lu Jinkang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he was reluctant for some reason.

There was no other way, Su Yunduo had no choice but to hold his nose and take over the daily evening meal of this group of people and entrust it to Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, she tried her best to arrange the meals of her family, but Lu Jinkang brought too many ingredients. In the end, in order not to waste the ingredients, Su Yunduo had to use the ingredients Lu Jinkang brought to start a meal for the family.

Although the courtyard of Su Yunduo's house is dilapidated, it is big. The kitchen is much larger than that of ordinary farmhouses, and the stove in the kitchen is even more than that of ordinary farmhouses.

That's right, there is a three-eye stove in the kitchen of this courtyard, plus the small charcoal stove brought back from the old house and the small clay stove of Liu Donglin's family. Although there are many people eating and there are many dishes to prepare, Wei The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, together with Su Yunduo, turned on all the firepower, using all two stoves and three stove holes, but they were not in an orderly manner and did not make any mistakes.

It's just that Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always wanted to inquire about Lu Jinkang's life experience at the beginning, which made Su Yunduo very embarrassed. It's not that she didn't want to tell, but she couldn't reveal it. Let alone Ning Zhongping's instructions in advance, even if Ning Zhongping didn't say it, Su Yunduo would not be able to talkative.

For a son of such a family, unless he himself is willing to reveal his identity to the outside world, how can she be talkative?

Fortunately, Wei Shi finally had some insight. After asking a few times, seeing that Su Yunduo just shook his head, he stopped embarrassing her.

Naturally, Liu Donglin couldn't find out Lu Jinkang's exact identity, but Lu Jinkang's good looks are obvious. Not to mention the standard capital Mandarin spoken by Lu Jinkang and his accompanying guards, just by the attitude of the guards towards Lu Jinkang, you can know his dignity .

The Liu family also thought about inviting Lu Jinkang and his party to rest in their yard, but only looking at the carts of supplies delivered to the Su family, anyone who is not blind can understand the meaning, so Liu Donglin can only give up regretfully.

But his giving up does not mean doing nothing, so Su Yunduo's family benefited again.

When Lu Jinkang and his party came back from hunting for the first time in the mountains, they found that the Su family's courtyard had a new look. The dilapidated courtyard could be seen to have been tidied up by Haosheng.

It was Liu Donglin who brought a few men from the village to help the Su family clean up, not only the few rooms where Su Yunduo's family lived, they were no longer able to look at the stars through the roof at night.

Even the dilapidated and empty houses that were no longer able to live in people were tidied up. Although they were still uninhabitable, people finally had a place to sit down, drink water and rest their feet, instead of sitting in the courtyard all the time.

Because of the arrival of Lu Jinkang and his party, although the family owed favors to the villagers, Su Yunduo was really relieved because he didn't need to spend money to repair the house and buy furniture for the time being.

Now the house is not only equipped with tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, but also enough oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen for a long time to come. Even because Lu Jinkang and the others brought back too many prey, rows of bacon sausages hung under the eaves. There are as many varieties as there are grocery stores selling bacon and sausages in the town.

Almost none of the three-month grain that was brought back from the old house has been moved, and it is all stored in the large wooden grain cabinet that Ning Zhongping bought from the town. Almost all the food used by the family recently was sent by Lu Jinkang.

In this way, years ago, the family only needed to purchase some quilts and clothes for the winter, and these things did not require a lot of money. Even if we added a set of quilts for each person, and two cotton padded clothes made of the best cotton Pants, the sum is probably not more than five taels of silver, not to mention that the Ning family had asked Ning Zhongping to send a lot of them before.

Su Yunduo counted the recent expenses needed by the family, and the biggest expenses were farm tools and seeds. Whether it was growing vegetables, melons, fruits or medicinal materials, these two things were essential.

Of course, Su Chengzhi's medicine could not be stopped, and Ning's delivery date was getting closer, and the family still needed a lot of money.

In this era of relying on the sky for food, although the money in his hands may be more than most families in Geshan Village, Su Yunduo still feels a lot of pressure. After all, there are too many variables in Su Chengzhi's illness and Ning's production. What's more, she still wants Su Chengzhi to continue the imperial examination and send his younger brothers to school. Thinking about it, it's a lot of pressure!

In order to let the family survive the winter smoothly, and still have Yu Yin in hand to deal with unknown difficulties, Su Yunduo felt that she still had to find a way to make money, so she decided to deal with the walnuts in the backyard first, which was the first time in the real sense after she came to this world. A poke of gold.

It's just that she never expected that the first pot of gold would come from an old doctor with excellent medical skills.

After the old doctor's careful treatment, Su Chengzhi's condition obviously improved, and the old doctor also discovered the walnuts that Su Yunduo had been hiding all the time. Naturally, as if he had found a treasure, he took out his money and bought all the walnuts. It made Su Yunduo very difficult.

She needs money very much, but she has the nerve to take money from the old doctor.

If there is no old doctor, even if Su Yunduo knows some medicine properties and medical principles, relying on her own ability and the financial resources of the family, I don't know how long it will take for Su Chengzhi to recover and successfully remove the heavy hat of tuberculosis.

Besides, the matter of planting herbs needs the help of the old doctor.

The old doctor is a person with a unique personality. Seeing that Su Yunduo refused to accept his money, he threw the walnut in his hand into the basket, stared at Su Yunduo with puffy eyes and panted heavily.

Well, in order not to make the old doctor angry, Su Yunduo decided to sell the walnuts to the old doctor.

All the walnuts that could be found on the mountain were carried down by Liu Dongting's uncle and nephew, and Su Yunduo led Su Zexuan to clean up all the black or green skins.It's just that there are not many walnuts processed into kernels.

Just for the convenience of carrying, the old doctor didn't need Su Yunduo to process the walnuts into kernels, and the walnuts that had been smashed into kernels were reserved for Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi to nourish themselves.

Those uncracked walnuts weighed 75 kilograms. This is the result of uncle Liu Donglin finding a few walnut trees in the depths of the forest. Otherwise, the walnut trees that Su Yunduo found would only be [-] to [-] kilograms after processing the outer skins. .

Because the walnuts in Dongling Kingdom were imported from the Western Regions, the price is not cheap. One catty of walnut kernels is worth twenty catties of high-quality rice.

The only walnuts in Xiushui County are walnut kernels. In order to calculate how much walnut kernels can be produced from a catty of walnuts, the old doctor asked people to break open five catties of walnuts. One catty of sun-dried walnuts can yield half a catty of walnut kernels.
