Chapter 133 He's a Master

The next day, the village head kept his word, opened the gate of the ancestral hall in public, removed the family tree from inside, and crossed off the name of Su Chengcai's family from the family tree.

All the villagers came to watch.After seeing the names of Su Chengcai's family being smeared in ink, everyone applauded happily.

"It should have been like this long ago! This family is simply a disgrace to our Wushan Village. I am ashamed to tell others that Su Chengcai and I are from the same place!" The villagers shouted loudly, scolding Su Chengcai's family.

Of course, Su Ran also brought Huang's family and Quan Ge'er An Ge'er to witness this scene with his own eyes.

Seeing that Su Chengcai's family had completely severed ties with them, Huang's mother and son also let out a long sigh.

After the incident here, under the instruction of the village chief, none of the villagers in Wushan Village mentioned what happened at Su Ran's house that day.Su Ran and his wife acted as if nothing had happened, and they still had to do what they should do.

Seeing them like this, Mr. Chen and his son began to feel a little flustered.

On this day, seeing the couple come again to deliver a cart of rabbits for the New Year, and watching the couple silently push the cart out of the restaurant, Master Chen, who was sitting in the room on the second floor, slowly looked away.

"I've seen them twice, have you seen anything on their faces?"

Mr. Chen who was standing beside him shook his head. "No."

"Nothing at all?"

"Nothing at all."

"Actually, I don't have anything." Master Chen let out a long breath, "Then tell me, is it because they are too capable, the husband and wife are hiding too deeply, or do they really know nothing?"

"You probably don't know anything!" Mr. Chen whispered, "Otherwise, this couple is too capable."

"If they are not good, how do you think they built such a big house in just two years?" Master Chen's voice sank suddenly.

Mr. Chen immediately exclaimed. "Father, do you think..."

Master Chen looked at his only son coldly. "Until now, haven't you figured out how you got into that room?"

Young Master Chen's face turned gray again. "I've been thinking about it these days, but I really can't think of it. I remember that I was hiding in the dark, waiting for the news from Sibao, and hurried to join you. But who knows, just heard Su Xuan's cry came from the room over there. I was waiting for Si Bao to come over and talk to me quickly. I felt a chill on my neck, and then I didn't know anything. If it wasn't for Dad, you would have woken me up in time I'm afraid I'm really going to marry that bitch Su Xuan home!"

"If this is the case, you can also get out of my Chen family!" Master Chen said coldly.

Mr. Chen immediately lowered his head. "This matter is indeed the fault of the child, and the child will remember the lesson in the future. However, according to what you said, the couple must be more cautious now. If we want to attack them again, it will be even more difficult .”

"Yes! But now we can't bring them together. After all, there are several nobles in the provincial capital who are still waiting for us to give them white rabbits during the Chinese New Year!" Master Chen gritted his teeth, and he also began to feel a bit of a toothache. up.

After a pause, he asked again in a low voice: "This couple, do you think they really have such great abilities, or are they just lucky?"

Mr. Chen thought for a while before answering: "It is one thing to have ability, but good luck should also be part of the reason. You must know how many heroes throughout the ages, and how many people have suffered from bad luck?"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Master Chen nodded firmly.

His answer was finally affirmed by his father, and Mr. Chen was overjoyed.He hurriedly said again: "Although we didn't succeed this time, it is expected that Su Chengcai and his family would not dare to betray us. As for Li Er and his wife... Although they guessed something vaguely in their hearts, there is no evidence, and they definitely can't." What about us? In a short period of time, they don't dare to make any waves. If this is the case, then we have nothing to fear. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we should seize the opportunity to make good relations with the dignitaries in the provincial capital. In this way Well, although they are climbing up all the time, how can they compare with us? With the help of the nobles from the provincial capital, we can crush them to death with just a single finger!"

"Yes, that's the reason!" Master Chen nodded again, and told his son, "This year's Chinese New Year, you and I will go to the provincial capital together. You should also get to know those noble people over there."

"Yes, my son will obey your arrangement!" Mr. Chen was overjoyed, and quickly bowed and shouted respectfully.

But he said that time passed day by day, and it was the end of the year again in a blink of an eye.

This year, because of building a house, Su Ran's family didn't save much money.However, at the end of the year, Mr. Chen managed to open up the restaurants in the county town, and bought [-] rabbits in one go before the end of the year, but in one fell swoop, he took all the adult rabbits that Su Ran and the others had in stock!Three hundred rabbits were exchanged for more than three taels of silver.Shopkeeper Liu gave them another red envelope of one or two taels of silver, saying that Mr. Chen specially wrapped it for them.Su Ran took it.

With these four taels of silver, the family will be able to live well this year.

When the wheat was harvested at the beginning of this year, Su Ran specially asked Li Er to keep a few bags of wheat for rations.At the end of the year, there was still a bag of wheat left uneaten, so Su Ran waited until Xiaonian, when Li Er pounded a few catties of wheat and ground them into fine flour.Su Ran used these noodles to roll out dumpling wrappers, and then fried the meat with radish and Chinese cabbage. It was delicious.Wrap it with dumpling wrappers, bring to a boil, and a big pot of steaming dumplings is ready!

A big family each held a bowl of dumplings, sweating profusely from eating.

Brother Zhuang can eat dumplings now.The little guy still has to be fed, he has to eat by himself.The result was to poke randomly with chopsticks, almost overturning the bowl.In the end, it was Li Er who gave him a cold look, and the little guy withdrew his fidgeting paws, and obediently asked Su Ran to feed him.He managed to eat six of them, and drank a bowl of dumpling soup cleanly.

This child is not picky eater, he will eat whatever is given to him, and Mrs. Huang can't help but sigh that he is really easy to support.

The child is so well-behaved and obedient, Su Ran loves him so much.

After the child drank the last mouthful of dumpling soup, she touched his little head: "Let's eat these first, and mother will boil maltose for you tonight, huh?"

"En!" Brother Zhuang nodded quickly.After all, he was still a child, and when he heard that there was candy to eat, he couldn't help but started to drool.

This cute little appearance made the whole family laugh.

As early as a few days ago, Su Ran had already picked a catty of wheat and put it in the utility room to send out wheat seedlings.By now, the wheat seedlings have grown as long as a finger.Su Ran went to have a look and said, "The length is just right." He directed Li Er to remove the things, cut them into pieces, grind them with a mill, and then add water to make a slurry.

Immediately afterwards, she took out the ten catties of glutinous rice that she had prepared earlier, washed them clean, and steamed them in a pan.When the steaming was done, she lifted the lid of the steamer, and immediately grabbed a ball of glutinous rice while it was hot, kneaded it into two balls, one big and one small, and handed the small one to Brother Zhuang, and the big one to Li Er.Li Er took the food in his hand, but he took the initiative to feed it to her mouth first.

Su Ran blushed and took a bite, and the fresh and sticky glutinous rice scent spread in her mouth immediately, making her heart warm.

Mrs. Huang also made a few small balls out of glutinous rice and distributed them to Brother Quan and Sister Qiu.Then the mother and daughter spread out the steamed glutinous rice on a large dustpan to dissipate heat.Seeing that the heat had almost dissipated, they poured the steamed glutinous rice into the wheat seedling slurry and mixed it well.Wait for the stuff to ferment for about two hours, then pour out the stuff inside, wrap it with a clean cloth, and start to squeeze out the juice inside.

This kind of strenuous work is of course left to Li Er.Brother Quan An Geer has only seen rich households in the village make maltose since he was a child, but he has never made maltose at home!After finally waiting for this day, the two brothers also volunteered to roll up their sleeves and go into battle.The three Lang uncles worked hard for a long time before they squeezed out all the juice inside.

At this time, Su Ran had cleaned the cauldron on the stove, and sister Qiu also lit the stove.The squeezed juice was poured into the pot and brought to a boil. Su Ran kept stirring in the pot with chopsticks.After a while, the juice in the pot seemed to thicken. Su Ran quickly told Qiu sister to change it to medium heat, and she continued to stir with chopsticks.

Gradually, the smell of maltose overflowed from the kitchen, and the smell became stronger and stronger... Everyone couldn't help but began to salivate, and An Geer even asked several times, are you alright?In the end, they were taken back by Mrs. Huang.

Su Ran began to feel that the chopsticks were stirring more and more strenuously, and gradually she couldn't move anymore.

"Okay!" Finally, she stirred up some maltose with her chopsticks, licked it with her tongue, and said these two words.

"Okay, it's finally done!"

Brother Quan and Brother An saw that the two brothers finally couldn't hold back, and quickly jumped over to help pour the boiled maltose into the jar.

Then, the whole family took a chopstick each and began to stir the maltose in the vat and send it to their mouths.Brother An was the most powerful. After stirring the chopsticks in the tank for a while, a large piece as thick as an arm rolled out, which made everyone envious.

Su Ran has been busy for a long time, and now she is too tired to lift her arms, so she quickly pulled up a chair and sat down to rest.Brother Zhuang snuggled up beside her, even though he watched eagerly where his uncle and the others were grabbing food, he did not leave his mother's side.

The child's actions really warmed Su Ran's heart.She wiped the child's little head: "If you want to eat, go there! Mother is waiting for you here."

The little guy licked his mouth, but still shook his head, and continued to lean against his mother.

When Li Er saw this, he strode over there.Picking up the chopsticks and stirring it lightly in the tank, all brothers An and the others immediately exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, you are so amazing!"

Su Ran looked up, and saw that this man had come over with a lump of maltose as thick as a strong man's neck.

"Here you are." Coming to Su Ran, he stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.

Su Ran stared blankly at such a large piece of malt candy, then raised her head to look at him blankly. "How can you even do this?"

"En." Li Er lifted his chin, and there was a hint of satisfaction in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Once he has something to eat, Mr. Yuan is like a child.He is now stirring the water in the tank with chopsticks.Hearing Su Ran's words, he turned his head and smiled and said, "Does it need to be said? He is a master at this game! I think back then..."
