Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Zhao Shu
I sat down and rested for a while, waiting for the tofu to cool down.

Shen Shuangshuang took Xiao Hui out, put it on the cart, loaded the goods and set off for the town.

After entering the city, we drove the donkey cart directly to the back kitchen of Zuixian Tower.

Zhao Shu, the steward of Zuixianlou who was in charge of purchasing, happened to be there. When he learned that Shen Shuangshuang was coming, he took the initiative to greet him.

After some exchanges, Shen Shuangshuang found out that Zhao Shu was the new employee, and that this man was the eldest son of Manager Zhao.

Zhao Shu was very grateful to Shen Shuangshuang and felt that it was because of her help that his father secured the position in front of him.

Shen Shuangshuang was naturally polite, but he was also very happy in his heart.

The friendship between her and the Zhao family was finally concluded.

Another news that makes Shen Shuangshuang happy is that Zuixianlou’s new dishes were launched last night, and diners loved tofu very much.

The fifty kilograms of tofu she sold yesterday couldn't be used.

"The shopkeeper has specifically asked you to tell Mrs. Shen and ask you to deliver 150 kilograms of tofu directly tomorrow."

Shen Shuang's eyes lit up with joy.

"Sure!" He agreed quickly.

If it had been before, she might have been a little afraid to respond.

But now, there is help at home.

Making fifty more pounds of tofu won't be a big problem.

Besides, she has made preparations in advance, so she can make some tofu and prepare it in the afternoon.

Shen Shuangshuang left Zuixian Tower after going to the back kitchen and accounting room to collect more than five yuan of silver (the tofu delivered exceeded one hundred kilograms).

After leaving Zuixian Tower, Shen Shuangshuang went to Liu's house.

That's right, she plans to continue looking for Master Liu to do the cooking in the yard.

This time Master Liu's wife Qian is still at home.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang come to the door, Mr. Qian warmly entertained her.

Knowing that Shen Shuangshuang was going to start cooking again, Qian became even more enthusiastic.

“It’s easy to make a stove and doesn’t use many materials.”

"My boss will be back at noon today. If it's convenient for Mrs. Shen, I'll ask him to go to your house in the afternoon."

"The wages and materials will be calculated in person when the time comes," Qian said.

With such high efficiency, how could Shen Shuangshuang refuse?

"Okay!" He responded immediately.

After leaving Liu's house, Shen Shuangshuang thought about it and bought a few more pots.

Yes, you need to use three pots to cook the stove outside.Two large ones and one small one with a lid.

The big one is used to boil soy milk, and the small one is used to bring hot water.

In her kitchen, the two original pots with broken handles and cracks should also be replaced.

Seeing that the sun was still early, Shen Shuangshuang went to cut two more pounds of meat and buy some vegetables.

It looked like it was going to rain that day, so she had to rush back.

After leaving the city, Shen Shuangshuang drove Xiao Hui back.

As soon as I got home, the rain came.

Mrs. Shen was relieved to see Shen Shuangshuang back.

Shen Shuangshuang helped Shen into the house first, then unloaded the things on the donkey cart, and then led Xiao Hui to the livestock house.

After finishing my work, I was quite wet.

"Come in quickly, wipe yourself, change into dry clothes, and don't catch the cold." Mrs. Shen shouted from inside the room.

Shen Shuangshuang took the last frame into the mill and then went to Shen's house.

Then I watched my mother-in-law get some clothes for me in distress.

"This dress belongs to you. It has just been made. You can try it on. If it doesn't fit, I can change it." Ms. Shen handed over a dress.

"Okay!" Shen Shuangshuang agreed.

Then he went back to his room to change clothes.

Although my son is still young, he still has to avoid taboos.

When she arrived in the room, Shen Shuangshuang wiped her hair with a handkerchief, then took off her wet clothes and changed into new clothes.

My mother-in-law is good at needlework and her clothes fit her perfectly.After putting away the wet clothes and throwing them away with last night's dirty clothes, Shen Shuangshuang went to see Mrs. Shen again.

"Mom, the clothes fit you very well!" After entering the door, Shen Shuangshuang approached Mrs. Shen.

"Mom, please let me make some aprons. They will be useful when working in the future. I'm afraid of getting these beautiful clothes dirty."

Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter-in-law.

It looks as beautiful as a flower.

If she hadn't personally delivered her daughter-in-law's baby, she wouldn't have believed it. Her daughter-in-law had given birth to a baby before.

"Okay, okay! I'll take the old clothes you were wearing and take them apart. Mom will sew them into an apron for you."

When Shen Shuangshuang heard this, he was a little unhappy.

But after thinking about it, I still didn’t object.

Which farmhouse uses aprons that are not made from old clothes?
Even the women in the village chief's family wear patched aprons.

"Not only my old clothes, my mother's old clothes and Ling'er's were also taken apart and altered."

"Anyway, I just bought a lot of cloth. Let's make three sets of clothes each." Shen Shuangshuang said.

"Why make so many?" Shen immediately objected.

"I've done one for each of you before, and I'll do one for you next. Ling'er can do two for you."

"It's getting colder day by day. We need to start preparing bed covers and winter clothes. The cloth you bought may not be enough."

"If it's not enough, we'll buy more," Shen Shuangshuang said.

Seeing Mrs. Shen looking at her with a look of disapproval, Shen Shuangshuang continued: "Oh, mother, just listen to me."

"Don't do the next embroidery work. Make Ling'er's two sets of clothes first, then make two sets yourself, and then make one set for me."

"When it's done, let's sew the bed quilt. I'll go buy the cotton when I'm free. Once they're done, we'll sleep on the kang."

"We can arrange winter clothes and the like later."

"There are still a few months before winter starts. You should take your time and there is still time."

Mrs. Shen knew that she could not persuade her daughter-in-law, but she still persuaded her.

"Then buy less materials. Ling'er is still young, so there's no need to let him sleep alone. When it gets cold, the three of us can squeeze into a kang."

"Oh, you can make as much as I buy. Once you buy the things, they won't break."

"It's more cost-effective for you to sew it yourself slowly than to buy the finished product, right?"

Fabrics in ancient times were expensive, and ready-made clothes were even more expensive.

From this point of view, my mother-in-law did save a lot of money by making clothes for the whole family.

Shen Shuangshuang stroked Mr. Shen's back.

Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter-in-law and finally gave up persuading her.

Whatever, whatever.

After all, my family has a profitable business, and it’s quite a lot.

My daughter-in-law is right. Things cannot be broken.

She can't help her daughter-in-law right now, so she can only do these things.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw that her mother-in-law no longer opposed her decision, she smiled.

"I'll cut the meat and come back today, so our family can have a good meal." He said.

Shen's eyes moved, and she held back the words she wanted to say.

"Go." He turned around.

My daughter-in-law works so hard, so she should eat well.

Seeing this, Shen Shuangshuang grinned wider.

"Ling'er, go cook with your mother." He said to the little carrot head in the room.

When the little carrot leader was called, he immediately rushed to Shen Shuangshuang's side.

"Okay, mother!"

Only then did the mother and son leave Shen's room.

Mrs. Shen looked at the door and let out a long sigh.

Then, he smiled again.
