Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 8

Su Zhangshi turned to look at Su Jingsen: "My daughter met a liar?"

Su Jingsen frowned and looked at Su Qinghe: "What kind of clothes do you think grandpa is wearing? What did he say when he gave you duck eggs?"

"He was wearing a very smooth and smooth dress, which was like water when I touched it, and there were beautiful patterns on it." Su Qinghe used her brains, trying to make up a lie without flaws: "He said he was a god, Eating this food can nourish the body. It’s just that children can’t eat more, so I only ate one!”

I remember that in modern times, some people said that this preserved egg contained lead or something, and children should not eat more.Now, take the opportunity to make the rules, so as not to make mistakes in the future.

Su Jingsen frowned: "Is there an official or landlord somewhere who passed by our village, and Xiao He happened to meet him?" Gods or something, it's so easy to meet, probably there are gods everywhere.

Su Zhiping interjected: "Didn't it be said a few days ago that the magistrate is coming?"

"Brother, if the county master wants to come, he will go to the county. He will take the official road and will not pass by our village." Su Zhian shook his head and denied this answer. The whole family studied for a long time, but did not think about whether there was anything lately. Rich and noble families passed by the village.

Su Jingsen knocked on the edge of the bed: "Maybe he passed by our village, maybe he was going to Xiaoli Village." On the other side of Xiaolizhuang, it happened to be the official road, and the rich people probably wanted to take the official road, and then accidentally The road forked to their Liu Village.

Su Zhangshi also somewhat agrees with Su Jingsen's explanation, probably because that person thought that Xiao He was cute and lied to her once.Immortals live in the sky, how can they come down easily?It's just this duck egg... Su Zhang looked sideways at Su Jingsen, and Su Jingsen coughed: "Xiao He probably made this by chance. Come on, Xiao He, tell Dad how you made this."

Anyway, regardless of whether the reason is far-fetched or not, as long as it can be explained, it is completely fine.Although the theory of ghosts and gods in this era is very serious, the common people will not easily push things to the theory of ghosts and gods.

"I just got some ashes, tea leaves, and salt, wrapped them up and buried them in the ground." Su Qinghe said with blinking eyes, tears running in her heart, ancient people are not easy to lie to, everyone has the same IQ, things can't be easily obtained Invented, especially for food.

Su Jingsen didn't know what was going on right now, so she turned to look at Mrs. Su, who quickly explained.Su Jingsen looked down at the half preserved egg in Su Qinghe's hand, and Su Qinghe handed it over tactfully: "Father, this is it."

Su Jingsen held it and studied it for a long time, then frowned: "Xiao He was fine after eating it a month ago, so I guess this thing is really not poisonous? Otherwise, let's show it to the doctor in the town?"

"Father, if it's not poisonous, can it be sold?" Su Qinghe asked innocently: "That grandpa said that no one has seen this thing before, but it can be eaten. Can we sell it to others? can you make a lot of money? Then let my brother go to study?"

Both Su Zhiping and Su Zhian were stunned, Su Zhangshi was also a little surprised, and asked after a while, "Who did you learn these words from?"

"I didn't learn from anyone, I just thought of it myself. Didn't my parents say that they were afraid of a big corrupt official? Let's let my brother study and become an official in the future, so we won't be afraid of being bullied." Su Qinghe muttered, she You know what it means to cover up a lie with thousands of lies.Therefore, you can't find too many excuses. At most, let your family members know that you are a little clever.

"Then mother said, if there is no money for my brother to study, then let's sell this to make money, won't we be able to let my brother go to study?" Su Qinghe said while looking at Su Jingsen with a hopeful face, Su Zhiping's eyes were slightly red, Su Zhian They were also a little touched, but they didn't expect that their little sister was always joking and laughing, but she always remembered this matter in her heart.

"Haha, silly girl, even this one can be sold for money, so we can't sell it." Su Jingsen was happy. His son and daughter got along well. He was happy, and his daughter was smart, so he was also happy. If you sell this thing, you become a merchant, and merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examination."

Su Qinghe was depressed: "Brother Yang Zi, isn't his elder brother doing business in the town?"

"Brother Yang Zi, his elder brother is an apprentice, and he hasn't started business yet." Su Zhi'an interjected, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, and a merchant have the lowest status, while a craftsman must be above a merchant.Su Qinghe didn't understand, didn't the apprentices also work in the shop?Does that shop also sell things?Aren't you also a businessman?
However, she has never been clear about these things.In this day and age, let alone the law book, she has never seen even a piece of paper.

"Father, we can't sell duck eggs, we can sell this method." Su Zhiping interrupted and said, "Except for the grandpa my little sister mentioned, no one in our town has ever seen this kind of duck eggs, let alone the duck eggs." Not to mention eating it, we sell the recipe to a small workshop for a sum of money."

Su Zhiping is also a very smart kid, but he has a calm temperament, unlike Su Zhian, who jumps up and down every day, so he usually seems a little transparent.

Seeing that they finally thought of this step, Su Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.However, when the end came, she suddenly felt a little unwilling. She knew that if seasonings were added to the ashes, the taste of the preserved eggs would be even better.At that time, more money can be sold.

Thinking of this, she hesitated a little, if only she could grasp the secret of making preserved eggs... But no, the small workshop is also a business.

"Brother is right, we can make this duck egg and sell it. I heard last year that Yang Zi's brother was rewarded with a lot of wages because he thought of a style for making a cabinet." Su Zhian also agreed Said with bright eyes.

Su Jingsen was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Fourth brother, are you at home?"

"Yes, Dad, wait." As soon as she heard it was Grandpa Su's voice, Su Jingsen turned around and went out, opened the courtyard door, and greeted Grandpa Su and Grandma Su who were standing outside the door: "Father, what are you doing?" Came here so early?"

"We just heard Wang Guaizi's mother say, you called Dr. Li over, did something happen at home? What about Zhiping and Zhian? And Xiaohe, is everything okay?" Grandpa Su looked into the room. side asked.

Su Jingsen shook her head and let the two old people into the house: "It's okay, Xiao He ate something dirty, we are afraid that she will have a stomachache, she was sick last time, it really scared us, parents haven't eaten yet, right? Wait a minute Just eat here."

"No, no, we're cooking porridge at home." Grandma Su waved her hand, and when she saw Mrs. Su came out, she turned her head to talk to Mrs. Su: "What did Xiao He eat? She is young, so you should go to her." Be careful, don't let her stuff everything into her mouth."

"Mom, it's okay. I didn't see it for a while, so she ate it." Su Zhang said with a smile, and turned to the kitchen to add two more ladles of water to the pot, and grabbed a handful of rice. go in.

Grandpa Su chatted with Su Jingsen about the harvest in the field and about selling peanuts in the town.Su Zhiping and Su Zhian guarded Su Qinghe: "Little sister, can you really eat this thing?"

"Of course, it's quite delicious." Su Qinghe broke open the remaining half of preserved eggs and distributed them to Su Zhiping and Su Zhian: "Let's take the rest to the town, find the biggest workshop, and let the boss see it." Look, if he is smart, he will definitely buy our method of making preserved eggs."

"Pine-flowered egg?" Su Zhiping was a little puzzled, Su Qinghe pointed to the pattern on the duck egg with a smile: "Does this look like a pine-flowered egg?"

Su Zhi'an also came over and nodded again and again: "It's really similar, so let's call it this preserved egg. Just now I thought, well, this thing is quite delicious, with a very special taste."

"Well, elder brother, second elder brother, do you know which one sells food and has the largest shop in the town?" Su Qinghe hurriedly inquired, Su Zhian shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard from Yang Zi that there is a snack in the town The shop is called Zhang Ji Dim Sum, and his dim sum is the best. There is also Zuixiang Restaurant, which is the largest restaurant in the town."

Su Zhiping frowned: "Restaurants are not good, they don't open workshops. You have to find a shop that sells ordinary snacks. To make this, you must need a lot of duck eggs." After thinking for a while, Su Zhiping said: "I know Yang Jiajiang The recipe is pretty big, and this preserved egg can also be sold as a pickle."

"But if the boss can't see the business opportunities here, everything is useless." Su Zhiping was silent for a while, then said, and then pinched Su Qinghe's cheek: "Little girl, don't think so much. The second one, the pickle store is not good, and there are also grocery stores, these places usually collect some duck eggs, and they will definitely sell them anyway."

Su Qinghe was already shocked. She always regarded her two elder brothers as children, but she never thought that her elder brother's thinking was almost more comprehensive than that of adults.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su didn't hold back Su Jingsen, and breakfast was served here.After breakfast, Su Jingsen sent the old couple back, and brought the ox cart over, and there were already two sacks of peanuts on the back of the cart.

According to Su Qinghe's observation, there are already peanut oil and soybean oil.In addition, peanuts can also be used as small snacks at ordinary times. They can be boiled, fried or eaten raw. Therefore, peanuts are considered as economic crops.

However, not everyone planted too much.Because most of the fields are used to grow rations, and the court collects taxes, which are also rations.The annual income from the field is based on the population, and the rest is just enough to eat.

Su Jingsen called Su Zhiping and Su Zhian, and the three of them moved the sun-dried peanuts to the car. Their family had four bags, two bags more than Grandpa Su's.Afterwards, they went to the house of their uncle Su Jingqing and brought peanuts with them, and then a group of people went to the town in a mighty way.

Among the surrounding villages, Shuliu Village is the closest to the town.It took more than half an hour to drive the carriage.A group of people went to sell peanuts first, and they had sold peanuts before, so they knew which one gave the right money, so they went straight there without going around.

Su Qinghe calculated the prices silently. Four bags of peanuts were sold for a total of two copper coins, and there were a thousand copper coins in total.Later, Mrs. Su Zhang bought two biscuits for one copper plate.

So, approximately one copper plate equals one dollar.
