Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 119

The fourth prince left the next day. Su Qinghe got up early in the morning, and when she heard Yun Shu come to report the news, she just looked at Yun Shu with a smile, and said nothing more.After washing my face and eating, I went to the second courtyard in front to study sweet potato vermicelli.

Su Qinghe still remembers the step of crushing the sweet potatoes first, and then filtering the starch.But in modern times, the sweet potatoes are all minced by machines, so she has to find another way.

The filter cloth must also be prepared in advance, neither too thick nor too thin.If it is too thick, the filtered starch will be dirty, and the vermicelli will be dark brown in the end, which is ugly and tastes bad.If it is too fine, it may be difficult to filter out the starch.

In Su Qinghe's early experiments, he only got two or three sweet potatoes.After washing it, cut it into slices, and originally planned to mash it with a pestle, but after a long time of mashing, it was only half smashed. Finally, Yun Duo thought of using a millstone, and Su Qinghe thought of the idea.

Although the first pass was too coarse, after three or five passes, the sweet potato chips turned into dross.

For three days in a row, Su Qinghe was obsessed with this matter.She didn't react until Su Zhiping came to pick her up, and she excitedly pulled Su Zhiping into the yard: "Brother, look, I just made something. If it succeeds, it might sell for a lot of money."

Su Zhiping looked at the white water suspiciously, a little puzzled: "That's it?"

Su Qinghe squinted: "This is just the first step, and then there is the second step, the third step, and the fourth step!" Su Qinghe suddenly thought of a big problem, this vermicelli must be made in winter, at this moment The weather, can't do it at all!
In an instant, she was depressed again.By the time of winter, I have already been married, so can I carry out the experiment without telling the fourth prince?

"Forget it, you'll know what I made after two days." After thinking for a while, Su Qinghe came up with another good idea. We can't make vermicelli, but we can still make jelly. The sweet potato powder is all made out. Not bad for these two steps.

Su Zhiping didn't know what Su Qinghe was thinking, he just thought that his previous tone was too disapproving and he didn't believe my little sister, that's why she was upset, so she hurriedly coaxed: "Yes, yes, who is my little sister, who do you want to know?" Is there anything you can’t do? Big brother believes in you, if you make something good in a few days, don’t forget big brother.”

"That's natural, brother, just wait. By the way, you must tell Dad when you go back. This year, all the land at home will be planted with sweet potatoes." Su Qinghe said with a smile.Only by planting more sweet potatoes can we make a lot of money.

"Okay, just tell me when you get back, are you happy living in Zhuangzi these few days?" Su Zhiping rubbed her head with a smile, Su Qinghe patted her elder brother's hand away, why do everyone like to rub her head and pinch her cheek so much? ?

"It's okay, why did the eldest brother come to pick me up so early?" Su Qinghe also realized that Su Zhiping was going to pick her up this time, and immediately felt a little bit reluctant: "Isn't it too early for June?"

"What's the matter, there's only half a month left, you have to go back to get married." Su Zhiping said with a smile: "Besides, don't you miss Xiaolan? Xiaolan will come over tomorrow, and you plan to let her live in Zhuangzi Come on? And grandparents, they will all arrive tomorrow."

Su Qinghe was overjoyed: "Really? Didn't you say you would be late a few days ago?"

"Well, I came here as soon as the family matters were dealt with, so it's not too early." Su Zhiping said with a smile, and pulled her into the yard: "Hurry up, pack your things, and we'll go back today."

Su Qinghe happily went back to the house to pack up her things. She hadn't seen Su Qinglan for a long time, and she really missed Su Grandpa and Grandma Su and others.

On the second day, Su Jingsen and Su Zhian went to the gate of the city to greet him early in the morning. Su Zhiping had to go to the Imperial Academy because he had an official position and it was not a holiday.Only Su Zhang and Su Qinghe were left at home, busy allocating and arranging the yard and so on.

Although it has been arranged before, it is good to check it a few times now.

At noon, Tiancai came back in a hurry: "Madam, Miss, the master and the second young master have already arrived at the intersection, and they should be at the house in a while."

Mrs. Su Zhang hurriedly ordered the door to be opened, and brought Su Qinghe to stand at the door to greet her.There were several carriages, with Grandpa Su and Grandma Su in front, Uncle Su's family, Uncle Su's family, Uncle Su's family, Uncle Su's family, and Uncle Su's family behind.

Even Su Qingfang, Su Qinghua and Su Qingfen, who are already married, also brought their husband-in-law and children.There are also relatives on Su Zhang's side, Uncle Zhang's family, Uncle Zhang's family, Uncle Zhang's family, Uncle Zhang's family, Sister Zhang's second sister, plus the married daughter and husband's family.

That's true, almost a street is not enough to occupy.

"Father, mother, you are here." Mrs. Su hurried up to help Grandpa Su and Grandma Su get out of the carriage. The two elderly people felt that their bones were going to shake after sitting in the carriage for a few days. It's gone, and his face is not very good-looking.

Grandma Su just smiled reluctantly, and patted Su Zhang's hand: "It's hard for you, let's go in first and talk about it, my old bones are really about to fall apart, hey, sitting in this carriage is really uncomfortable .”

"Mother, go in and rest quickly." Mrs. Su Zhang said while ordering the maids around her to lead the way for everyone. The whole family lived in the same yard, and let them go to rest and eat first.Only Grandpa Su and Grandma Su live in the same yard alone.

"Father and mother, this is the yard specially prepared for you by me and the child's father. It is called Fushoutang. You only remember this name. If you can't find the way in the yard when you come back in the future, someone will take you back. Me and the child's father They live next to each other, Zhi Ping and Zhi An are not yet married, they live together on the other side, and Xiao He lives behind our yard."

Mrs. Su stretched out her finger while talking, and Grandpa Su nodded with his hands behind his back: "Well, this mansion is very spacious. In the future, Zhiping Zhi'an will marry a wife, so it's okay to live in a courtyard alone. By the way, what about Xiaohe?" When is the dowry?"

"On the fifth day of June, the fourth prince came to welcome the bride." Su Zhang said with a smile, and Grandma Su nodded repeatedly: "Well, June [-]th is a good day. Embroidered? I said before that Xiaohe's embroidery is not very good, but she is going to marry into the royal family, if Xiaohe doesn't do it well, it will be embarrassing to adults."

"Mother, don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared these things. Xiaohe only needs to make a few clothes and a few purse handkerchiefs." The emperor and I will definitely have to donate two clothes, and there are four more. For the prince, Xiao He has to do it by himself.

There are still several princesses in the palace, and they will have to give purses at that time, and there will be some dedicated to the noble concubine, all of which must be prepared by Su Qinghe herself.

"How are those clothes made?" Grandma Su asked quickly, and Mrs. Su Zhang sneered: "Although it is not very exquisite, it is still eye-catching." Why were you so cruel in the first place?If he hadn't been fooled by Xiao He back then, and forced her to learn needlework for a few more days, this embroidery work would definitely be able to do it, right?
It will not be like now, just make a few ordinary clothes.

Originally, Xiao He came from a low family background and had nothing to offer, so don't be looked down upon by others in the royal family and be wronged by it.

However, no matter how worried she was, Mrs. Su Zhang still had to comfort the two old people first: "It just so happens that Xiaolan is here too, and she can help out a bit. Parents don't have to worry. Besides, the nobles in the palace have seen a lot of good things. Our little one No matter how good He is, they probably won't look up to them, and the ordinary ones are not much worse."

Grandma Su sighed, and then asked about the dowry: "Is the dowry ready? The dowry from the fourth prince has also been sent? Our family is poor, so we can't produce anything good, but don't be reluctant to spend money , you must prepare a lot of dowry for Xiao He."

"The dowry was delivered early, and I have almost prepared Xiaohe's dowry. I have inquired about it. When the third prince married his wife, the dowry was one hundred and eight. The daughter of the eldest princess is the county head. The dowry was 98 sets. The daughter of Prince Chun was the princess, and when she married, the dowry was 120 sets. The five princesses got married the year before last, and the dowry was 140 sets. So I thought, it would be best to prepare 98 sets for Xiaohe. .”

Although there was a concubine for comparison, when the third prince got married, he was already a prince.As for the fourth prince, he is still the county king at this moment, and his rank is different. Naturally, the dowry of the fourth prince's concubine cannot be compared with that of the third prince's concubine.

Grandma Su gasped: "98 units?"

In their county, the highest dowry she had ever heard was only 64 units!
Mrs. Su Zhang also knew what Grandma Su was surprised about, so she quickly explained: "Father and mother don't have to worry about not having enough money. The sweet potatoes that Xiaohe planted before made a lot of money, and they can still buy these dowries for Xiaohe."

He made it clear that the money was earned by Xiao He himself.Although the old man feels sorry for his granddaughter, generally speaking, he still pays more attention to his grandson.If they felt that Xiao He took away all the family's money and did not leave it to Zhi Ping and Zhi An, then they would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Grandma Su rubbed her chest, but Grandpa Su thought more clearly. He waved his hand and said, "It's enough for you to know this well. The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat. No one has to be wronged. By the way, you can get money from Xiaohe's press box." Put more, in the future Xiaohe will have a bright future, and her elder brother and second brother will follow suit."

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded quickly, and when she saw the room, she hurriedly asked Grandpa Su and Grandma Su to sit down first, and then asked someone to bring chicken soup: "Father, mother, drink some chicken soup first, I have someone prepare lunch, and I will deliver it in a while." Come here, after lunch, you sleep for a while, we will talk in the afternoon."

As she said that, she pointed to the maid next to her: "These two are called Pearl Agate, and if parents have something to do, feel free to order them."

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su really didn't have the energy to say too much right now, so they just nodded, drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and half a bowl of rice, and went straight back to their room to sleep.

Mrs. Su Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the main courtyard again. The elderly are prone to fatigue, but brothers, sisters-in-law, younger brothers and sisters are not so easily tired. At this moment, they are probably still waiting for her to speak in the main courtyard.

As for Su Qingfang and the others, they went to see Su Qinghe after lunch.

A room full of sisters, sisters, sisters-in-law and nieces almost filled Su Qinghe's room.Su Qinghe hurriedly smiled and said: "The room is a little small, let's go to the yard to talk, there is a grape trellis in my yard, there are tables and chairs under it, it's getting cold, why don't we go there?"

Su Qinglan nodded first: "Then go, there are many people in the room and it's very stuffy."

So, a group of people moved the battlefield from the house to the yard.Because there were so many people, it took a cup of tea just to move the stools.

The country people are simple, and they may not be used to the change of Su Qinghe's identity.So at the beginning, no one spoke.It was Su Qinglan who spoke first again: "Xiao He, your purse and everything are all embroidered?"

Su Qinghe blushed, and squinted at Su Qinglan: "Knowing about my embroiderer, I deliberately mentioned this, and finally finished it in a hurry, don't say you want to see it, I don't think I will give it to you Look. But you, how is your brother-in-law treating you? Is there anything different after getting married?"

Su Qinglan was grinning, but she wasn't shy: "Of course it's different. How could it be the same in this natal family? Let me tell you, when you marry the fourth prince in the future, you can't feel like you are at home."

As soon as the topic started, everyone started talking in a hurry.Those who are married will talk about their experience in their in-laws' house, and those who are not married will listen obediently and learn from the scriptures.

For a while, the yard was full of laughter and laughter.
