The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 100

Chapter 100 Two big tails

The cold wind howled outside the house and there was a charcoal fire inside. Cheng Yingzhen, mother and son sobbed and talked about the past, which hurt them to the point of death, and comforted each other.

“Mom, don't be anxious now. My husband and Ah Jin have already figured out a way. When the Chinese New Year comes, we will take advantage of the opportunity to buy a servant to take you home. From now on, we will live together and never be separated.”

Ding was afraid of harming her daughter, "What would your aunt do if she knew about it?"

Cheng Yingzhen pursed her lips and sobbed, unable to speak.

Su Ruojin had no choice but to speak: "Grandma, on the surface you are already... a dead person. If you appear in front of the world again, you will no longer be Ding, but have a new surname. As for what the new surname is, dad is asking for help. Let's do it. When it's done, you will appear in our house as a slave. You don't mind this, do you?”

"Of course I don't care... Of course I don't care..." As long as she can be with her daughter, she is willing to do anything.

With hope, Ding's gray heart gradually became lighter. It was almost midnight, and she couldn't bear to have her son-in-law and granddaughter suffer, so she quickly pushed her daughter to go back first, "We are going to stay together anyway, so there is no rush for this moment."

Cheng Yingzhen felt relieved after seeing her mother and knowing that everything was fine. The two hugged her for a while before reluctantly leaving.

September has passed and entered October. With the arrival of Father Feng, a new round of hawthorn business has begun. Whether it is hawthorn slices or candied haws, they are both plentiful and good, but there is not enough manpower!

Su Yanli recommended someone: "How about that Shi Er who helps me take care of your grandma?"

Ding is now hiding in the inn and doesn't need him anymore. It's a cold winter and Shi Er has no real job. Without the monthly money from Su Yanli, life is hard. Two days ago, he went to the Imperial College and asked him to help introduce some work.

 “How is your character?”

 “I've done my best in taking care of your grandma.”

“Okay, let's try it out for a month first, and if possible, hire it on a long-term basis.”

Su Yanli nodded.

Shi Er didn't expect that Dr. Su actually introduced him to a job, and it turned out to be his own business. He was so happy that he clapped his chest with joy, "Master Su, don't worry. From now on, I, Shi Er, will be yours. Please let me know." I do whatever I do, without any second thoughts.”

Su Yanli smiled slightly and said, "Go to my house and find my daughter. She will make arrangements for herself."

 “Okay.”

At this moment, Shi Er happily ran all the way to Su's house after getting a job. When he saw Dr. Su's seven-year-old daughter, he opened his mouth in surprise, "Little... little lady..."

 It's so small, is it reliable?

Su Ruojin saw the confusion in his eyes and smiled slightly, "Uncle Shi, it's okay if you don't want to do it."

 “No, no, no…” It's such a cold winter. It's hard to find a job. Shi Er won't leave. A little lady will be a little lady. As long as she has work and money, that's all.

Su Ruojin gave him the business of selling hawthorn slices, "On the street in front of Xiangguo Temple, we sold it last year and the business was very good. It's up to you how the sales will be this year."

 “Little boss, don't know how to sell?”

Su Ruojin then told him the details of retail sales one by one, and finally said, "The more you sell, the more commission you will get, the less you sell..."

"I understand..." Shi Er did not expect to receive live money instead of dead money. His enthusiasm suddenly increased and he wished he could set up a stall and start selling now.

Candied haws, hawthorn wine, and hawthorn cake were not suitable for display. Su Ruojin was going to wholesale them to grocery stores or pastry shops. But before she left the house, her right neighbor, Mrs. Yang, and Aunt Qin from Fan Mansion came over to ask for the goods in Su Ruojin's hand.

 In the end, the two families divided the Su family's goods.

Su Ruojin: ...then isn't she just a second-rate dealer, taking the money directly? Okay, she built the bridge, and you still have to get the money you deserve.

Feng Wangtian sighed, "I remember the first time I entered the capital, standing at the gate of the city, we didn't even know where to sell our goods. We finally found a grocery store and were ripped off. Unexpectedly, we got the favor of a small boss. Now, You can get money without worrying about anything, Xiaodong is still awesome!" Su Ruojin was also modest: "Thanks to my father, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to get into the eyes of the Fan family."

"Yes, yes..." Feng Wangtian once again felt the importance of studying to become an official, and secretly said that he would definitely let his eldest grandson study hard after returning home.

Su Ruojin made an appointment with Father Feng to deliver goods once every ten days until the hawthorn products are sold out.

The goods are made by people from Lishantun and sold by the Fan family and the Yang family. Su Ruojin really has the leisure to make soup for the master and benefactor, and asks Mao Ya to deliver it every afternoon before dinner. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, she is very fond of Mao Ya. Ya said, "How about you let Uncle Hua eat it at my house at night as well as at noon, so as not to have to reheat it when it gets cold in the shop."

Mao Ya nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk."

Today I asked Sister Mao Ya to give me a simplified version of Buddha Tiaoqiang. The real Buddha Tiaoqiang contains dozens of precious ingredients, with 18 main ingredients and more than 10 auxiliary ingredients integrated with each other.

 The main ingredients include: abalone, hoof tips, flower mushrooms, shark's fin, fish maw, scallops, sea cucumbers, fish lips, pigeon eggs, scallops, ribs, etc.; auxiliary ingredients include shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoot tips, cabbage, razor clams, red dates, etc.

The ingredients of each are interpenetrated with each other, and the taste is unique and the nutritional value is extremely high. It is a traditional dish that combines delicacies from mountains and seas, and is well-known at home and abroad.

Su Ruojin's simple version only contains abalone, hoof tips, flower mushrooms, scallops and ribs, etc., as well as mountain mushrooms, bamboo shoot tips, red dates, etc. brought over by Father Feng. The taste is also very good and particularly nourishing.

 Stew it every ten days, not only Hua Ping, but the Su family also eat it. It is nutritious and luxurious. Fortunately, I have made money now, otherwise I would not be able to afford it.

When it got slightly dark, Su Yanli came back, followed by two big tails.

 Fan Yanjia and Zhao Lan had not seen each other for a month or two, and they had grown taller again. The two young men were so skinny when they stood in front of Su Ruojin that she almost looked up.

 This... is outrageous!

She lowered her head and looked at her small body. Isn't there a five-year age difference? Two heads taller?

No, now is not the time to talk about height. Su Ruojin looked at his father in confusion, why did he bring these two boys back?

Fan Yanjia bared his teeth and smiled, "If there is anyone who doesn't understand in the school, then come back with the doctor to ask for advice."

Su Ruojin sneered secretly, asking for advice is fake, but cheating on food is real, right? He rolled his eyes and asked his father to lead the guests in.

Su Yanli certainly understands what the student's real purpose is. It's just a meal, it's not a big deal.

Mao Ya delivered the soup can to Huaping's house, "Master..."

 “Leave it alone!” Huaping said lazily on his bed.

“Master, the soup is getting cold. Otherwise, you will have to eat with the master from now on.”

That's not possible. If you don't bring the soup out, how will anyone be able to eat it?

Hua Ping shook his head, "I'm still used to being alone."

 Mao Ya…

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, she had to give up: "The soup is still hot, eat it while it's hot. I just met a high-ranking official at the entrance of the alley taking guests home. I have to go back to wait on him." After that, she hurriedly left.

Huaping also stood up slowly and was about to take the soup to the courtyard. Suddenly he realized what he was doing and ran outside quickly, "Mao Yatou, the guest you just mentioned is..."

"Young Master Fan and Prince Zhao..." Mao Ya turned around and replied, before leaving the shop.

Prince Zhao Xiaojun? Huaping suddenly raised his head and laughed, haha... I can finally drink a can of soup!

Mr. Shen, who was waiting in the small courtyard to enjoy his glory, said: ...It's already dark, why haven't any of you come yet?

Dear friends, there is another update in the evening, so don't wait any longer at noon!

Thank you to all those who voted for Binghe. Thank you for your strong support, which keeps Binghe on the voting list.
