six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 88

Su Liu let out a sigh of relief, avoiding Ning Guang's gaze, and picked up vegetables as if nothing had happened, always feeling that under Ning Guang's gaze, she had nothing to hide.

"Then let's try." The minority obeyed the majority, and Chen had no choice but to agree.

"Then we will prepare the materials tomorrow. These items are hard to find. Mother, the cost of making donkey-hide gelatin is relatively high. I plan to use all the money we have saved these days. Xiaoxiao, what do you think?" Su Liuben As long as she is in charge of the money account, she is completely free to control the family's money, but she still asks Mrs. Chen for their opinions, after all, they are a family.

Su Xiao naturally has no objection, and the Chen family has no concept of money, so this matter is settled.

After the meal, Su Liu sent Ning Guang out of the hospital, and said in front of Ning Guang: "You said you didn't ask, and I will talk about it when I am willing."

Ning Guang looked at her deeply, snorted softly, and said, "I underestimated you. You know so much at such a young age. Su Liu, what is your background?"

A peasant girl knows things that the Qi Dynasty did not have, and now she says she can make donkey-hide gelatin. What talent does she have that she hasn't shown yet?He is getting more and more curious.

Since the whole family agreed to make donkey-hide gelatin, Su Liu quickly started to take out the silver locked in the box to purchase the medicinal materials for making donkey-hide gelatin.

The main ingredient in donkey-hide gelatin is donkey skin. If an ordinary farmer has a farming ox, it is already a big deal. Very few people have a donkey like this. In Da’ao Village, the landlord Zhao in the east of the village has one. Just a donkey.

Donkeys have always been used only for crops or harnesses, or as mounts. Of course, donkey meat is also eaten, but it is very rare and very expensive. Rare things are more expensive.

After searching all over Baise Town, Su Liu only bought a piece of donkey skin in a restaurant. The storekeeper said that the donkey was sold because the owner of the donkey was waiting for money, so he killed it. two days.

"If you want donkey skin, maybe you can go to Changping County to have a look, there are several shops that make donkey meat rolls." The owner of the restaurant said to Su Liu.

Su Liu smiled wryly. It seems that even if he made donkey-hide gelatin for the first time, if he wanted to make large batches, or even make workshops, the first thing that must be solved was the source of the donkey skin. Everything is in vain.

And with just such a donkey skin, Su Liu finally knew where the wealth of donkey-hide gelatin was in these days, naturally because the donkey skin was hard to find!

If only there was a ranch dedicated to this donkey!

Su Liu sighed.

After obtaining the most important donkey skin, other medicinal materials are much easier. After two days of running, all the objects to be made into glue were ready, and Su Liu started the first process of making glue - soaking the skin.

In fact, the leather must be selected and weighed in order to make the rubber rigorously. However, the pollution is not very serious in this era, and there are not so many impurities. After inspection, the skin will start to bubble.

"Sister, is this enough?" Su Xiao pointed to the donkey skin soaked in the water, and asked, "How long will it take to soak, won't it rot?"

"Generally speaking, soak for three days and three nights or four days and four nights. When the skin swells, the hair on the skin can be pulled off by hand." Su Liu said as he pressed the donkey skin into the water, and then After talking about the next few glue-making steps, Su Xiao's hair swelled when he heard it.

"I'd better make buns, it's too difficult." She stuck out her tongue and ran away.

Su Liu shook her head, and didn't blame her, not to mention that Su Xiao found it troublesome if she had never been in contact with it, she also found it very complicated to do it by herself.

"Our family depends on you to get rich!" She looked at the donkey skin soaked in the water and said.

The process of making donkey-hide gelatin is not easy, no matter how anxious Su Liu is, she will never be in a hurry. While waiting for the bubble skin, she and Su Xiao and the others take care of the buns at the stall. After all, this is their first business, it is impossible dropped.

Su Changsheng walked into the old house dejectedly, carrying his own bedding on his back.

"Father, it's Daddy who's back." Yindan was playing with a gourd ladle to scoop water in the yard, when he saw Su Changsheng, he threw the gourd ladle in his hand and rushed towards him: "Father!"

Hearing the sound, everyone came out one after another, Zhou's eyes were red, and he looked at Su Changsheng with a sad and wronged look, while Su Chuntao was so excited that tears fell down.

It would be great if dad came back, and finally there is someone who can make decisions for them.

Only Huang and the others noticed something was wrong with Su Changsheng. Old Master Su looked at the bedclothes on Su Changsheng, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Boss, what's the matter with you, why are you carrying your bedding to come home at this time?" Mrs. Huang asked the question in Mr. Su's heart.

Only then did the Zhou family realize that Su Changsheng was unusual.

In the past, Su Changsheng would never go home with his bedding on his back. Sometimes, although he was not in high spirits, he still walked with style. After all, even being a small steward was better than farming and earned more money.

But now, Su Changsheng's beard is unshaven, his eyes are bloodshot, his face is very haggard, and his whole person looks very gloomy.

"Su Lang, who are you?" Mrs. Zhou walked over holding onto her waist, seeing Su Changsheng like this, jumped up suddenly.

"Stop talking, go and boil a pot of water, I'll take a shower first." Su Changsheng ordered irritably with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Tao, go and boil the water." Mrs. Zhou told Su Chuntao hurriedly.

Su Chuntao pursed her lips when she heard this, and she swallowed all the grievances that she wanted to complain to Su Changsheng temporarily, and walked to the kitchen muttering.

"Father, mother, I'll go over and talk later." Su Changsheng threw down the bedclothes on his back, said sullenly, and walked towards the East Chamber, Zhou Shi hurriedly followed.

"What is he doing?" Mrs. Huang couldn't react for a while.

Mr. Su's face was a little dignified, he glanced at the bedding on the ground, frowned and said, "Don't ask, I look a little bad, I'll know soon."

In the east chamber, Mrs. Zhou handed over a bowl of tea carefully, then walked up to Su Changsheng, and asked hesitantly, "Su Lang, what's the matter?"

Su Changsheng drank the tea, pursed his lips, and suddenly smashed the bowl in his hand to the ground.

"I've been fired."

Zhou Shi stood up in fright at first, and then her eyes widened in shock when she heard what he said, and said sharply, "What did you say?"

dismiss?How could it be that she did a good job and was under the care of her father, how could she be fired?Without this stewardship, what will they do in the future?

"For all these years, I've worked hard even if I don't have merit. In the shop, I didn't take care of it, so I quit as soon as I said it, and I didn't give any kindness." Su Changsheng punched the kang bitterly.

When Zhou Shi heard this, his complexion suddenly changed. He thought it was a joke, but it was true. How amazing is this?

"What's the matter, why did you quit all of a sudden?"

As soon as he asked this question, Su Changsheng's face became a little embarrassing, and he didn't dare to look at Zhou's face, he hesitated and said: "It's nothing, it's just that something went wrong with the errand, that's it."

"What's wrong? Didn't dad help you? Didn't you pay for it? Oh, it's a big deal to lose this job. Our family depends on it." Zhou's voice unconsciously He raised his voice and said, "What did dad say? I said a long time ago that you can't go on business or put on airs when you work in the Diao family's shop. What should we do now? No more errands, what about my mother?" Do you want to eat northwest wind?"

Zhou's worry is not unreasonable, there is no division of family, all the silver earned by Su Changsheng in the past has been handed over to Huang's. I don't have any private houses, and it only costs about twenty taels of silver when I get together.

For an ordinary peasant family, twenty taels of silver is considered an astronomical figure, but who is the Zhou family?Her heart is higher than that of ordinary people, why would she notice the 20 taels of silver?Besides, this is her private house, and it will be given to Chun Tao and Jin Quan in the future, so she won't take it out easily. Now that Su Changsheng has no errands, how can he get any interest?
It's fine if there is no interest, but Su Fusheng and Su Jinfeng are both unmarried. Once the two of them get married, Huang will definitely use the money for their affairs first. What to chew on?
The more Zhou thought about it, the more his heart twitched. Today's life is already so difficult, and Su Changsheng lost his job. Wouldn't their life be even more difficult?

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Zhou's words, Su Changsheng's big man's doctrine was provoked again, and thinking of his father-in-law wisely protecting himself and using him as an abandoned son, his already angry heart became even more unhappy.

"Don't talk about your father, I'm his old man's son-in-law anyway, but he didn't want to help me, instead he pushed me out to settle the matter, hum."

Zhou was taken aback, and argued, "How is it possible, why didn't Dad help you?"

"If I help, can I still come back like this?" Su Changsheng snorted coldly, and said, "I begged in a low voice, but he still let me go home." Why do you change him to another job in the future, bah, just a picture nice!

Zhou was stunned on the spot, and said: "No, my father loves me so much, I won't." After a pause, she said: "Why don't you go and beg my father again, and then pay the boss .”

Su Changsheng was full of impatience, stood up and said, "I won't go, I'm going to go on your own. Good horses don't turn their backs, and if this boss doesn't beat the west, I won't believe it. With my master's ability, Can't find a job yet."

"You..." Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she really wanted to ask you what skills you have. If you didn't rely on my father, would you be a small steward?

Su Changsheng didn't want to talk to her any more, so he left to wash up and walked out, leaving behind a resentful Zhou Shi.

"When you really have a great ability! Bah!" Zhou spat bitterly, thinking about the days to come, and his face was full of sorrow, what should we do?
In the main room, Mr. Su and Mrs. Huang also soon heard the news that Su Changsheng had lost his job. They were stunned at first, and then howled.

Although the Su family also received interest from farming, most of it came from Su Changsheng's monthly money. Now that he has lost his job, it means that he has no interest.

"Howling, howling, everything is like this, what's the use of howling?" Mr. Su frowned while smoking dry cigarettes, and said irritably: "There is no errand, then go to the fields. The family has fields and land, and hands. Can't you starve to death?"

What the old man said is reasonable. In these years, with the foundation of land, as long as he is willing to work and there is no famine, he will not starve to death.

But Mrs. Huang didn't think so. She patted her legs and said loudly: "What do you know about you? How many people are there in this family? Fusheng's daughter-in-law hasn't married yet. Isn't that where money is spent?"

"Didn't you save up better before?" Mr. Su's face was full of displeasure.

"How much can there be? You don't know that it costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law? There is also Jinfeng's dowry. Don't forget, Jin Quan just said this morning that he is going to take the entrance examination for the boy student at eighteen. Can you use money?" Huang stared A pair of hanging eyes said: "You said that he has lost his job now, and the money can fall from the sky?"

"Aside from other things, the silver that Jin Quan needs must be kept. The birth test is the most important thing." Old Master Su said to Huang after taking a puff of cigarette.
