Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 32 Aoki Academy
When Su Ho and Wang returned home with leeks in their arms, the sun was already high.

Leek had been making trouble all night. Although he had woken up in the morning, he was still not full of energy. He fell asleep as soon as he left the town.Su Ho asked Wang to sleep with leeks in her arms, but Wang disagreed, saying that Su Ho was more tired than her last night.

"Mom, there's nothing to do at home anyway. You're old, it's always good to rest more. I'm still young, so I'll just raise and raise. Besides, Leek is used to sleeping with you, without you by my side." , he can't sleep well..."

Wang had no choice but to go back to bed with leeks to sleep.

In a few days, it was time for the Pan family's corn to be harvested. All of them were plump and golden. Staying at home, looking at leeks, but this time, Yu Yueyue brought Pan Min'er to Su Ho's house, asked Su Ho to help look after the child, and went uphill to help herself.Dinner was settled at Su Ho's house. Aunt Pan moved all the food and supplies to Su Ho's house, and asked her son to make firewood, so she didn't use anything from Su Ho's house.

After a few days of busy work, I finally moved all the corn in the field back to Pan's house, and the heavy rain that Pan Ming expected arrived as expected.

The direct cost of this heavy rain was that Suho's plan to go to the town to sell mint porridge was shelved. When the heavy rain ended, a few more days passed.

But during this heavy rain, Su Ho was not idle. She had handed over all the tools she needed to the carpenter in the village. Hundred Wen copper coins.Su Ho took a trip to the town by himself, bought some small ceramic jars, some soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, and then fiddled with it at home, and finally made some sauerkraut, planning to buy it with his own mint porridge.A bowl of porridge with sauerkraut is sold for two pennies, without sauerkraut for one penny, and sour menu is sold for one penny.

Su Ho also specifically discussed with Pan Ming about "borrowing" people, but the uncle of the Pan family waved his hand and said boldly: "Which one do you like, you can choose!"

Therefore, Su Ho decided to ask the second eldest Pan Lin to help. After all, the eldest Pan Sen has a family and has his own things to do, which is inconvenient. However, the third eldest Pan Mu is still a little young, so Su Ho treats him like a younger brother. Some are reluctant.

Unexpectedly, after Pan Mu found out about this, he wanted to go with him, Su Ho had no choice but to bring him along.

Now is the slack season, and the crops of all households have been harvested. Some farmers who can’t stay idle will go to the town’s wharf to find work to earn some extra money to supplement their families. Therefore, the people of South Street There are many, and it seems unusually lively.

Su Ho and the Pan brothers arrived early in the morning. Under Su Ho's command, the three of them arranged their utensils in an orderly manner --- a large iron pot filled with hot water, a stove burning underneath, and a stove above. There is a large wooden barrel, which contains the mint porridge sold by Su Ho, the eggplants he pickled, beans and so on, which are placed on a small shelf. Su Ho also bought some extravagant sugar and put it beside him, so that he doesn’t feel that it is not enough Taste guests add a little.

When arranging things, Su Ho was very glad that he agreed to bring Pan Mu, otherwise these things would definitely not be enough for himself and Pan Lin alone.

It has been open for a while, but no customers have come to eat.The men of the peasant family are very simple, and they can save as much as possible outside. Many people bring their own corn cakes and squat on the edge of the Yuanjiang River, or gather together in groups of three or four. The small pot of boiled water melted the cooked cornmeal in his own bowl, and he drank it in a daze.

There were also people who came to ask Su Ho what they were selling, and when they heard that it was porridge, most of them shook their heads and left. After all, it was not worthwhile for farmers to spend a penny for a bowl of porridge.

Seeing this situation, Su Ho felt that it would be impossible to just wait like this, so he urged: "Pan Mu, shout twice!"

"No, how embarrassing!" Although Pan Mu was not as old as Pan Lin, he was extremely smart, and he could turn the corner in no time.

"Shout twice, I'll treat you to something delicious after selling porridge!" Su Ho tempted.

Pan Muzui twitched: "What delicious food have I never eaten?"

Su Ho saw that Pan Mu couldn't do it, so he turned his head to look at Pan Lin, but when Pan Lin saw Su Ho looking at him, he quickly took two steps away, as if Su Ho was going to eat him.

Seeing that Pan Lin didn't show any face at all, Su Ho shook his head, feeling a little annoyed, but then he thought about it, Pan Lin was at the age of face-saving, with a strong self-esteem, how could he be selling on the street.There's no way, Su Ho threw the spoon in his hand, thinking, you don't come, right, my mother will come by herself.

Su He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and under the watchful eyes of the two Pan brothers, he shouted loudly: "Come, come and have a look, this delicious mint porridge is refreshing and sour. Sweet..."

Driven by Su He, Pan Mu also shouted: "Mint porridge, mint porridge, the unique mint porridge in Qingmu Town..."

Hearing Pan Mu's cries, Su Ho gave him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement.

The people on the street suddenly heard a woman with a sweet voice selling, they were a little surprised, a little surprised, but they all looked at Su Ho's side with the same like-mindedness.

Feeling people's attention, Su Ho blushed a little shyly, but still called out, hoping that some guests would taste it.Different from Suho's screening, Pan Mu, under the watchful eyes of so many people, not only did he not suffer from stage fright, on the contrary, he cheered even more. At his age, he just loves to be lively.

With the unremitting efforts of the two, finally, Soho ushered in the first guest, a sturdy man with a Chinese character face and hyphenated eyebrows, looking a bit fierce.

"Little lady, you are so thin..."

"Mint porridge!"

"How do you sell your mint porridge?"

"A bowl of porridge with sauerkraut costs two pennies, without sauerkraut, it costs one penny, and the sour menu costs one penny." Su Ho said the price that he had planned a long time ago, smoothly and quickly.

"Okay, give me a bowl!" The big man said boldly.

Hearing what the big man said, Su Ho smiled happily, and the business opened.Pan Lin swiftly scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to the big man.The big man took out a penny and handed it to Su Ho.

Su Ho waved his hand and said, "Brother, drink it first. If it doesn't taste good, I don't want money!"

Hearing what Su Ho said, Pan Lin and Pan Mu blinked vigorously to wink at Su Ho, but Su Ho pretended not to see it at all.

The big man was also a little surprised. He felt that this little lady had the pride and courage that ordinary men do not have. confidence.

No matter what the situation was, the big man didn't refuse. He took the porridge and stood in front of the stall and drank it.

Just after eating it, it felt hot, and compared to ordinary porridge, it had a slightly sweet taste. The big man was a little disappointed, thinking that this Qingmu Town was unique, and adding a little sugar to the porridge, anyone could make it, but After down the throat, the mouth feels cool and refreshing, with a faint fragrance wafting out. When I tasted it carefully, I found that the sweetness in the porridge is not the pure sweetness of sugar.

After finishing a bowl, the big man couldn't help sighing: "It's really good porridge. I, Lao Lin, have never had such good porridge in my life. Little lady, you can keep the money!" After finishing speaking, he strode away .

After the big man left, some people who were paying close attention to the place looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, a guest couldn't arouse his curiosity and asked for a bowl of porridge. After drinking it, he praised it.At this time, those talents no longer hesitated, and if they had some spare money, they would buy a bowl and try it.

Time passed quickly, at noon, Suho and the others sold out the last bowl of mint porridge.

After packing, deposit the bulky items at the home of Pan Lin's distant relatives.Su Ho suggested to go to the town to eat something to fill his stomach. Pan Mu raised his hands in agreement. After all, Pan Lin was a bit older, so he was a bit reserved.In the end, the three of them ate a bowl of bun noodles at a disguised stall on East Street.A few sheets of noodles, a bowl of clear soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, white and green, very attractive.

The three of Su Ho were eating happily, but they heard the sound of reading books coming over.Su Ho was a little astonished, and asked Pan Lin, "Is there a school in the town?"

Pan Lin didn't care about these things on weekdays, and there were no children in the village who said they were sent to the town to go to school, so he didn't know very well, so he shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"I know, this school has been open for two years! You have a very good teacher in front of you!" Hearing Su Ho's question, Pan Mu said.

"How did you know?" Pan Lin was a little taken aback, almost watching his younger brother grow up, he didn't know that his younger brother would care about this issue.

Pan Mu ignored Pan Lin's question, lowered his head and continued to eat the breaded noodles in the bowl.

Su Ho noticed the flash of longing in Pan Mu's eyes, she didn't say anything, she lowered her head and drank the soup in the bowl.

Flour is a rare thing here, and this meal cost eighteen copper coins in Soho.

After paying the bill, Su Ho came to live with Pan Mu and said, "Come on, accompany me to the school to have a look!"

Don't allow the two of them to say anything.

Following the sound of reading, I soon saw the school.The plaque of Qingmu Academy is hung high at the entrance, and on both sides of the entrance is a couplet with the words "Changxiang road, green hills are everywhere; in Jianfantang, a garden of talented people strive to become talents". The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and it was written by one person.On the high wall, there are several weeping willows with luxuriant willow leaves floating in the wind.

Maybe it's the end of get out of class time, the sound of reading in the courtyard is gone, replaced by the sound of children playing, pure and innocent.

Su Ho didn't ask to go in, stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and then left without a smile on his face.On the way back, they always looked thoughtful, which made the Pan brothers not used to it.

After arriving home, Su Ho woke up from his contemplation. Seeing the Pan brothers who were about to leave, he grabbed Pan Lin who was walking behind and said, "Pan Lin, have you thought about sending your brother to school? "

Pan Lin was taken aback, not understanding why Su Ho suddenly thought of saying this.

Su Ho looked at Pan Mu's back, still bouncing around, not aware that his second brother had fallen behind, and said softly, "Didn't you notice that he really wants to go to school...?"

Pan Lin looked at Su Ho, then at his younger brother, and left with a complicated expression.

In the evening, after counting the fruits of labor, Su Ho counted out two hundred and three copper coins. She told the news to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang was also very happy. For the price, it is also a good income.

Su Ho said that this is just the beginning, and when the business gets better and the reputation is established, it will sell more.

Looking at Mrs. Wang, Su Ho realized that she had a longing look on her face.But in Su He herself, she didn't realize that the longing on her face was no weaker than Wang's.
