six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 93 Selling Ejiao

Listening to her longing for the future, Ning Guang turned his head to look at her. She raised her head slightly, her lips curled up, her two rows of eyelashes flashed like fans, and she looked very peaceful. Just looking at her like this, I feel my heart is quiet.

"After the next year, let's get engaged." Ning Guang said suddenly.

Su Liu hummed naturally, and felt that the words were wrong, and turned her head abruptly: "What did you say?"

"After a year, we're engaged."

Su Liu was really shocked this time, looking at Ning Guang for a long while speechless: "Engagement?"

Ning Guang's face sank, and he said, "Why, you don't want to?"

Was it really expected by him?Did this girl take a fancy to Song Fei's appearance?Thinking of this, Ning Guang's face darkened again.

"No." Su Liu shook his head and said, "Aren't you unwilling?"

She said it twice, but Ning Guang didn't reply. She thought in her heart that he might not want to, and she wanted to make money again, so she put it aside in advance.

Ning Guang was a little embarrassed, turned his head, and said, "Aren't you still young?"

This is true. After all, Ning Guang himself is 11 years older than her, and he always feels inappropriate. Now that he has been together for a long time, he is really not without feelings. Moreover, as soon as Brother Song Fei appeared, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, especially It's Song Fei.

The point is, those two people talked too much, and what they said was not something he could get into. He was just a rough man about the crops. He used to wield knives and guns. How could he understand this?

However, Song Fei appeared, despite his identity, he was a farmer, so he talked to Su Liu aside, and even referred to him as sister and brother.

Ning Guang couldn't tell what that feeling was like, he just felt that the pot of meat and vegetables was only something he liked and no one came to grab it, and suddenly someone came to grab it from him, and there were signs of grabbing it.

Now that he saw that Su Liu was getting better and better, he became a little anxious and expressed his intention of getting married.

If Su Liu knew that he compared herself to a pot of meat dishes in his heart, she might jump a little bit.

Although this person said that he fell in love with him, and he also mentioned the matter of engagement before, but now that he said it automatically, Su Liu couldn't help being a little shy, hesitating and saying: "After every year?"

"Yeah!" Ning Guang reached out and brushed the broken hair around her ears, and said, "We will get married after the next year, and we will get married when you are old enough."

Su Liu became more shy after hearing this, lowered her head, her face was hot, and hummed like a mosquito.

Seeing that she agreed, Ning Guang showed a smile. He thought for a while that since he wanted to get engaged, if they got married, it would be next year, and the house here would definitely not be able to live in, so he might as well build a room with Su Liu and the others.

After thinking about it, Ning Guang went into the room again, took out an iron can from inside, and stuffed it into Su Liu's arms.

"What is this?" Su Liu was stunned, and while opening the tin can, she asked, and when she saw what was inside, she opened her mouth wide in shock: "This?"

There is nothing in it, but a small stack of bank notes. When you pick it up, you can see that there are ten taels, 50 taels, and a hundred taels, and there are as many as 500 taels.

"How come there are so many banknotes?" Su Liu was really shocked, she didn't expect this guy to be a real rich man!
Ning Guang's eyes were a little complicated, he looked away, and said vaguely: "It's been saved over the years, you take it, buy the land near your home, and build a bigger house in the next year."

"Ah?" Su Liu was a little dazed, and then she turned her head, understood what he meant, blushed and coughed again, and said, "The house, um, why don't we push back the reconstruction of our house?"

"It's up to you." Ning Guang didn't care, and wanted to stand up. Thinking of the past, he asked again: "If I am only a hunter who can hunt, I can't give you any glory and wealth. Will you still marry? Only in this village, would you like to?"

Su Liu felt that he was a little weird today, and said, "What other skills do you have? It's good to be able to hunt, at least people can't starve to death. As for the glory and wealth, we have our own hands and feet, and we can earn it ourselves. Just live a rich life."

She was right, the so-called wealth is not like that, with money, fields and land, someone to serve, and a rich life.

Ning Guang looked at her fixedly, and said, "You don't want to be an official's wife, a master?"

Su Liu frowned and shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

After hearing this, Ning Guang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Doesn't this little girl have the slightest vanity? Don't all women try to be nice?
Thinking of this, he asked: "Women all want to be a good family. They are served by groups of servants and are envied by everyone."

Su Liu snorted, rolled her eyes, and said: "We have money, so we can do it. You think the big family is so good, but you haven't seen the suffering of those women in the deep house. Let me tell you, The bad things of the big family are different from those of us poor families, and the methods are only different, how bad it is, it's better to be the master of the house."

Ning Guang took a deep look at her when he heard the words, what this girl said was as if she had experienced it herself.

"However, since we are not married yet, let's make it clear first." Su Liu thought of the most important point and said.

"You said."

"I don't like big families because there are many wives and concubines in a big family, and there are many wrongs. I don't like men with three wives and four concubines. If you have me, you can only watch me live alone. You can't take concubines." Su Liu looked at him firmly.

She is a clean freak, but she can't accept her husband sleeping with others, it will make her feel dirty, dirty and disgusting, so she would rather talk about the ugly first.

Ning Guang was taken aback, with a strange look on his face, and said, "What if you have no children for many years?"

Su Liu almost died of anger: "Big guy who wants to die, you curse me!" She pinched him hard, and said, "Don't worry, if this is the case then, I will give you the position of the vine." It is impossible for her to let a man accept DINK. If she is so unlucky, she will give up her position. As long as she holds the money, she is afraid that her life will not be successful?

Unexpectedly, this remark made Ning Guang annoyed. He patted her on the head and said angrily, "It's just nonsense. Let's make peace before we get married."

Su Liu gritted her teeth when she was photographed. Seeing his angry face, she couldn't help coaxing him softly. Seeing that his face had improved, she began to slander inwardly. Who told you men not to control your waistbands?

With the silver from Ning Guang on this side, Su Liu felt at ease. Although the two had agreed on a marriage in private, she was still a bit scrupulous because they were not married, but she still couldn't help taking out part of the silver to buy it. land.

She is not that unkind, the land deed is written in Ning Guang's name, but she will farm it, anyway, it will belong to everyone in the future, and it can be regarded as a pre-marital investment.

After two days, the donkey-hide gelatin hanging in the well finally solidified, which can be regarded as real gelatin.

Taking out the whole basin, carefully cut off the round donkey-hide gelatin from the basin, Su Liu carefully cut off a finger-long piece with a knife, and looked at the sun repeatedly.

The donkey-hide gelatin is amber in color, even and smooth in color, and smells delicate. Picking a little with a knife, it tastes sweet and salty, which is very different from what she saw in her previous life. However, the formula seems to be a little biased, and it will be fine with a little adjustment.

"It's done." Su Liu said excitedly.

Ning Guang took a look, tasted it, and said, "It really tastes like donkey-hide gelatin." While speaking, he took a deep look at Su Liu, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, but Su Liu was in a state of excitement and didn't pay attention. arrive.

Chen Shi and Su Xiao couldn't hide their excitement when they heard this, and said, "Is it really done?"

Seeing Su Liu nodding, they all showed a relieved smile.

"Sister, then send this to Baicao Hall?" Su Xiao asked happily.

"It's not in a hurry, let's dry it first while the weather is clear and sunny."

Su Liu shook her head and said, then took the big knife, followed the instructions of the donkey-hide gelatin seen in her previous life, cut into small pieces about ten centimeters long, four centimeters wide and one centimeter thick, and put them in a dry wooden box specially made by a carpenter. Lay flat to dry.

After another three days like this, when the donkey-hide gelatin was completely dried, I took a clean white handkerchief and wrapped it up and went to the Baicao Hall in the town.

The clerk of Baicao Hall already recognized her, and invited her into the inner hall directly, and after drinking half a cup of tea, shopkeeper Fu came.

"Treasurer Fu, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are in good health?" Su Liu stood up and saluted him.

"Thanks to the girl, the old man is still in good health." Shopkeeper Fu chuckled. It's no wonder that many people are so polite. Su Liu is so polite, Shopkeeper Fu is naturally happy, especially for an elderly man like him. He asked, "Why is the girl here today? The third master has gone to Qingji."

Su Liu sat down again with a smile, and said, "Actually, I'm here to find the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Fu was a little surprised, and let out a cry.

Then Su Liu took out the handkerchief from the basket at the side, opened the stuff inside, walked up to Shopkeeper Fu, and said with a smile: "I want Shopkeeper Fu to show me the authenticity of this donkey-hide gelatin. How much silver is such a large piece worth?"

Shopkeeper Fu took it and looked down, his face changed slightly, he stood up, and held the corner of donkey-hide gelatin with the handkerchief to look at the light, and picked a little bit to taste, with surprise in his eyes, he said: "If you don't Urgent, I'll ask Dr. Cai to take a look."

Naturally, Su Liu was not in a hurry. After saying something casually, Shopkeeper Fu hurried out.

Su Liu also knew that even though the quality of the donkey-hide gelatin was not particularly high-quality, it was a genuine material and would have some medicinal uses, so she sat down in an orderly manner while drinking tea and waiting.

It was time for another cup of tea before Shopkeeper Fu came back, followed by Song Fei.

Su Liu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet each other.

"I don't know where the girl got this donkey-hide gelatin?" Shopkeeper Fu asked again.

Su Liu hurriedly asked: "But what's the problem?" She wasn't afraid that someone would change her donkey-hide gelatin, but it was her first time doing it, and she didn't understand medical principles, so she was afraid that something might be wrong.

"Ejiao is real donkey-hide gelatin, but it seems that it has just been made, and the technique is not particularly mature, so I asked the girl where she got it?" Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile.

Su Liu heaved a sigh of relief, but she didn't answer the question: "Then according to the shopkeeper, how is the quality of this piece of donkey-hide gelatin compared to the one returned by Baicaotang? How much money can it be worth if sold in Baicaotang?"

Shopkeeper Fu glanced at Song Fei, saw him nodding his head, and said, "The color is good, but it's a little worse than the Renjitang's, but it doesn't affect the medicinal use. If it's such a small piece, the old man probably won't buy it." Don't worry about selling it for three taels of silver, if the color and purity are better, you can do it for five taels of silver."

Su Liu listened, took a deep breath, good boy, no wonder people say that donkey-hide gelatin is a precious thing, no matter it is ancient or modern, such a small piece only weighs about three taels, and it costs a few taels of silver. A family of several living in the farm costs a year's expenses.

However, after Su Liu was surprised, she was very happy. She quickly calculated in her heart, excluding the cost, plus other miscellaneous medicinal materials such as rice wine and rock sugar, such a pot of donkey-hide gelatin can earn hundreds of taels. Can you not be happy?

Seeing Su Liu's face full of joy, Song Fei couldn't help asking: "Sister Su is so happy, this donkey-hide gelatin..."
