C10

When Mr. Su and co. returned at night, Mrs. Su told Mr. Su about what happened today. Mr. Su didn't say anything, so it was decided.

On the other side, Su Zi was pulling Su Qing and asking him about the situation. Su Lan also came over to take a look out of curiosity. "Brother, how's the situation? Is it easy to sell?"

Su Bai looked at them with a smile on his face, while Su Qing said with a mysterious expression, "Guess."

"Guess what? You said it's not good?" Su Lan couldn't hold it in anymore. Her curiosity had been aroused while Su Qing was purposely trying to keep her in suspense. It would be weird if she wasn't angry.

When Su Zi saw the expressions of her two brothers and her father, she could guess that they were not bad. She wasn't in a hurry, she was just watching the two ill-tempered fellows making trouble for themselves.

"You only know how to be fierce, be careful not to get married." Su Qing also loved messing around with Su Lan, so he couldn't help but say this.

"You, you hate it the most!" Su Lan stomped her feet and turned around to look for her brother. "Big brother, you tell us."

"Don't fight with me for it." Before Su Bai could say anything, Su Qing was already unhappy and immediately came over to ask for his opinion.

"Third sister, you don't know. Mountain grapes are so easy to sell. No one came to sell them at the beginning and they all felt that they weren't tasty. I just followed the method you taught me and let others taste them for free. Then we started a business."

"We priced it at fifty gold coins for one catty. Not many people bought it, but a portion of it was sold out. In the end, half of Steward Zhao's servants came to buy it, and the remaining half was bought by Miss Zhixian's maidservant. Afterwards, there were no more."

When Su Qing said this, he was full of pride. Su Zi was puzzled, how could he meet a servant from another clan, and a servant girl from the Zhixiang clan?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Su Zi asked with a smile.

Su Lan had a puzzled expression on her face. Su Bai and Su Qing's faces were filled with surprise, "How did you know?" Finally, Su Qing couldn't help but ask. Su Bai was also curiously looking at her …

"Households like Zhao Yuan and Zhi County Lord all have a fixed location and sell things, they won't be as casual as ordinary people. If it was just one of them, then it's fine even if it's an accident, but a servant would buy something new to please the master. You ran into two of them at once, which can no longer be described as coincidental. " Su Zi said slowly.

"Third sister, you're so smart. This is all my idea." Su Qing looked at Su Zi and said proudly, "Since Steward Zhao's concubine is pregnant, she has not been able to eat much recently, so she likes sour things. Therefore, when I met her servant, I purposely shouted out loudly, saying that our mountain grapes are sour and sweet, and that they are appetizing."

The young miss of the Zhixian family is a delicate girl, and normally she loves these fresh dishes the most. The servant girl in her family knows about her character and often goes to the streets to look for her. I know about this, and I have even discussed it with the servant girl.

After Su Lan and Su Zi heard this, they had a better understanding of Su Qing. Su Lan felt that this Second Brother was really powerful, and Su Zi felt that Su Qing was a talent.

Su Bai was suddenly enlightened, "Why do you have to walk that path, and why are you suddenly shouting?" It was only now that he understood.

"How much did you sell it for?" Su Zi asked.

Fifty silver per catty, our mountain grapes weigh a hundred and twenty catties, thus we have six taels of silver. When we went to deliver them to Steward Zhao, we were rewarded with two taels of silver due to having a good meal, and the young lady of Zhixian also gave us two taels of silver. This is ten taels of silver.

"Ten taels of silver?!" So many! " Su Lan couldn't help but shout out loud. She was also overjoyed, and then she thought of something and said, "Mountain grapes are so expensive?" It's even more expensive than meat. It's such a pity that we have to spend hundreds of gold coins to eat so much! "

Su Zi and the others found it funny. Seeing that everyone was laughing at her, Su Lan became unhappy. "What's so funny? It was originally supposed to be like this."

"Yes, Xiaolan is a meritorious general, and this grape is something that we picked together. So what if you eat it?" Su Zi said with a smile.

Su Lan thought about it and agreed, "Then we'll look for it on the mountain. If there's more, we can sell it for quite a lot of money."

"Mm, I'll look for it later. However, this still depends on luck. Third Sister's luck is still the best." Su Qing looked at Su Zi and said with a smile.

Su Zi smiled and then asked, "What about the ingredients?"

"Oh, the shop owner said that the herbs we picked were common, and they weren't many. That's why we sold them for 118 gold coins." Su Bai looked at his sister's expression as he said this, afraid that his sister would be disappointed.

Su Zi, on the other hand, wasn't disappointed. She was already happy to be able to sell so much. It was much faster than spending money on embroidery at home.

"It's already not bad. Manager's kindness and righteousness." To be able to sell off such a large amount of money, one could tell that the boss was a real person.

"Mmm, that pharmacy's shopkeeper is indeed very good, and the price is the most fair." Su Bai also praised.

Because she earned money, she bought a piece of meat. Su Qing even bought two pounds of sugar. Mrs. Su didn't say anything when she saw it.

Su Zi was quite happy to be able to eat meat, but when she saw that piece of meat, her expression changed. How was she supposed to eat it?

Su Qing thought that Su Zi was happy about it, so he continued with the knife, "I bought the best streaky pork, and the fatter you get, the thinner you get. It's super fragrant!" He spoke with pride.

Su Zi: "…"

"Mom, let's make the Red Braised Meat today to satisfy your craving." After Su Qing said this, he went to find Mrs. Su. He couldn't see his sister who was stabbed to speechlessness at all.

"Alright, Mother will cook Red Braised Meat for you today." Mrs. Su was also rarely happy. During this period of time, her family had been covered by a haze. At least, she could have a happy occasion.

All the money in the family was given to Mrs. Su for safekeeping. With an extra 10 taels of silver, Mrs. Su finally felt that her days weren't that hopeless, and that she could arrange a proper marriage for Su Bai.

After eating a sumptuous dinner, everyone's mood improved. Although they looked quite fat, because they had cooked a red braised pork and hadn't eaten meat for such a long time, Su Zi also ate two pieces of meat. It was so fragrant!

After dinner, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su started talking, "Let's get Boss married first. Second Bro doesn't have any objections. When the time comes, there will be more for you."

Su Bai blushed in embarrassment. Su Qing was carefree and didn't care about it, "Dad, Mom, you guys decide. What do I have to say about this? Furthermore, this grape was found by Third and Fourth Sister. We just sold it. "

"This was mainly seen by Sister and was also thought of by Sister. I don't have much of an idea, but I have to prepare some dowry for Sister and can't let her down." Su Lan said seriously.

She didn't care about the money. She just felt that she couldn't let Su Zi down. In her eyes, her sister-in-law was an outsider after all. She wouldn't treat her own people unfairly for an outsider.

"What are you talking about, you?" Su Zi was still a little embarrassed. This girl's mouth could not be covered, but she was still touched. Su Lan was thinking about her every time.

"Right, we need to prepare more dowry for Third Sister. Lee Qingshan doesn't have anything, so it's not easy for Third Sister to live in the past." At this time, Su Bai also spoke up. Su Zi had already suffered a loss at home, so they couldn't afford to not have a generous dowry.

Logically speaking, no matter where a child got married, they should pay attention to the order of their young. However, some farmers didn't follow this rule. Some were because the family was too poor and had to marry their daughter before they had the money to marry their son. Some were other reasons.

Su Zi would probably get married earlier than Su Bai and Su Qing. This was because Lee Qingshan was too old to wait. This was one of the other reasons, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were happy to see their children being so humble. The elderly all hoped for their children to have a harmonious relationship with each other.

"You don't have to worry about that. I've already prepared Zi's dowry. There's definitely no need for her." Mrs. Su said with a smile.

I've already promised Lee Qingshan about Zi's marriage. In other words, I will definitely come here in the next two days to discuss the date of marriage. As you know, Lee Qingshan won't be able to wait much longer when he reaches his age. Saying that, Mrs. Su sighed once again, still feeling that she had let Su Zi down.

"Mom, it's okay, I just got married. I'm in the same village. I can come back anytime soon. Lee Qingshan doesn't have any parents or elders, so we are still counting on you and dad."

Su Zi then changed the topic and pretended to be angry. "Or do you think that the water poured out by your married daughter will prevent me from coming back in the future?"

"What nonsense are you saying? How can I not let you come back? Even if you come back everyday, Mom won't be annoyed. " Mrs. Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she knew that Su Zi was trying to comfort her.

"Then it's over. I'll come back everyday, so don't be annoyed." As Su Zi said that, she looked around at Su Bai and the others. Her overbearing look made everyone laugh.

Su Zi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She finally managed to stop Mrs. Su from feeling hurt. She always felt that she owed him, which made Su Zi feel very uncomfortable and guilty.

However, thinking about it, if he didn't come, then the real Su Zi would already be gone, and this family would probably be even worse off, so he felt less upset.

Since this matter was already settled, he decided to wait for Lee Qingshan to make the decision and arrange the marriage.
