The Imperial Concubine Chef - C119
Just as Su Xinyu had expected. As expected, when the village saw that Du Pai Zi was invited by Su Family to patrol the night, they all started to say that Su Family was sick, and if they invited leprosy to take a look at the workshop, their things would definitely not be clean. So next, those in the village who would have liked to go to the village often to get some sauce to eat did not go.
The wind blew into the city. However, it was still the same phrase. The Su Family s were not in the market yet, and the Su Family s were not in the market anymore, so it really had no effect on them.
Even so, the neighbors on East Street had heard the news. Aunt Zhao came here first.
“Wenlan. Why did your family hire someone with leprosy? How dangerous. “It’s contagious!” Aunt Zhao had a lot of good intentions, so after hearing someone say this, she immediately ran over.
Su Wenlan already knew about this matter, so she didn’t need her daughter to be there. She could also explain it clearly, “Sister-in-law, where are you following after? Where did the lepers come from? If that was the case, the yamen would have sent him away long ago. Xin Yu did invite an elder to watch the night. He was the one who bought the yard later. That old man’s son was not filial to him. Even though he knew that the old man had epilepsy, he still made people self-destruct at the foot of the mountain. My family’s Xin Yu, you still don’t know? It was best to be kind. Thus, he couldn’t bear to look at this, so he went to look at the old man. This child had some medical skills and treated that old man. He had almost recovered from his illness. That was why she had invited him to have a cup of An Le tea. How did leprosy patients get involved? ”
“When Aunt Zhao heard this, she let out a sigh of relief. So it was just epilepsy. Although that disease is pretty common, it’s not contagious. Those people actually loved him. “This is all thanks to your family not setting up stalls right now, or else your business would have been ruined.”
Su Wenlan frowned: “Why are their hearts so bad.”
The Aunt Zhao sighed, but before she could say anything, Qiao San’s Wife and a few other women arrived. Everyone was talking about this matter, Su Wenlan had no choice but to repeat what she said just now.
Qiao San’s wife sighed. “Wenlan. You don’t like it. Sister-in-law is doing this for the good of your family. The Yu had good intentions. His son and daughter-in-law had thrown him at the foot of the mountain and made him wait for his death. At this time, Yu had even invited people to patrol his own yard for the night. He was kind, and couldn’t stand to see those who weren’t filial. We all know what this child is thinking. “I don’t know, but it will be really troublesome.”
Su Wenlan naturally understood this, but she also didn’t feel that her daughter had done anything wrong. Sister-in-law. I know what everyone is thinking. But what Xin Yu did was not wrong. As a mother, I can’t just stop a child from doing good deeds because of the opinions of others. Moreover, that old man Du really did control his illness. Let’s think about it. If our family members have such a problem, wouldn’t they rather have someone lend a hand to help them? I can’t let Xin Yu fire him for this. This would be forcing an old man to his death. I heard from Butler Su that Old Man Du is much better now, and is diligently and conscientiously patrolling the night every day. He even helped clean the backyard during the day, so how could such a hardworking old man make him feel sad and despair? “Isn’t that pitiful?
Although there were still people who disapproved of Su Xinyu allowing Su Xinyu to do all these things. However, they had no choice but to admit that Su Wenlan was right. And to be able to befriend the Su Family, at least their hearts were kind. She thought about how her son and daughter-in-law would not care about the pathetic Du Pai and would be told that he had leprosy. If she only threw it away after managing the Su Family, that would be too sinful.
However, this matter did not harm Su Xinyu in the slightest. As Zhang Ziyi increased the order again, he also requested for an extra few thousand kilograms of soybeans from Zhao Family. As business grew, so did the families who were close to him. There was no need to talk about Zhao Family. In the past, she didn’t even have ten silver coins a year. Besides, Qiao Family s, even if Qiao San was a man with teeth, a small teeth shop like his didn’t have that much business, so Su Xinyu simply asked him to help him buy all the required raw materials. Because of Qiao San’s wide network of connections and good character, the fish and prawns he bought were all pre-ordered. Although it was not as cheap as what Zhao Xi had bought back in the past, Zhao Xi would not do this now. After introducing the original people to Qiao San, how did they earn a difference in prices? Su Xinyu didn’t care about that, she would just have to pay moderately once she obtained it.
also invited the other few female auntie s to clean up the rare wild vegetables. It was the most recent season for wild autumn vegetables, although they were not as tender as those that had just sprouted in the spring. But it was the best way to make pickles. Although the common folk at Hai’an also knew how to pickle pickled vegetables, most of them began to use Chinese cabbage to pickle pickled vegetables in the winter just like the people of the far north. There weren’t many families like this that used wild vegetables to make pickles. Of course, Su Xinyu was not using it to pickled vegetables, but to make pickled vegetables with a richer taste.
It’s in the old brine space of pickles. Other than purchasing some of the best wild mountain peppers and ginger from the farmers’ houses, the rest of the best wild mountain peppers were all chosen by Su Xinyu herself. In addition, the Spirit Spring had mixed in some good pickled water, and had also been cleaned up. The old and young were the right type of wild vegetables, it was hard for them not to taste good. However, he did not intend to sell this out. He planned to just sell it at home. The door opened up the stall and sold whatever they could. Otherwise, even if she didn’t do anything at the soy sauce factory, she still wouldn’t be able to stay idle.
This kind of pickle would only take a short time of seven days. However, some of them tasted better the more they were pickled. But that was the season money. So no matter how much Su Xinyu thought about it, the better it was, there was nothing she could do about it. After working continuously for two months, when the wild vegetables were done getting better, she took out the pickled vegetables she had prepared and shared them with her neighbors.
The simplest way to eat pickled vegetables was to eat them raw. After the fish was scooped out, it was cut into the right size. There was a hint of a sweet and sour taste in the mouth. Some were brittle, some were soft, and some were forceful. Some, however, were more suitable for hot food. For example, a local specialty called Oilbean is very similar to cowpeas, but very different. It was tougher than cowpeas, and though the smell was stronger, it was covered by the smell of lactic acid, as well as chili, ginger, and other spices. Only the taste and taste remained. It was the best time to fry the meat. It was similar to the taste of meat, but it could also relieve the greasy taste.
This jar of pickled vegetables was worth more than ten kilograms. Su Xinyu evenly distributed the food amongst the families who had tried to eat on the first day, bringing each person back a bowl. As a result, a few days later, just as Su Xinyu’s stall was set up, all the neighbors surrounded him. She wanted to know how much a jar was actually worth. They had to buy more, otherwise there wouldn’t even be enough food to eat.
Good things were naturally easy to sell. In the blink of an eye, the neighbors had already bought fifteen jars. However, Su Xinyu always treated business as the same. She had helped her pay before, but she had already sent a bowl of food for him. This time, everyone was willing to pay the same price. Although it was said to be a pot, it was actually sold at the price of one catty. Su Xinyu would not send the jar out, because the pickled vegetables were useful. Therefore, fifteen jars was equivalent to selling for one hundred and fifty catties or twenty catties. This was three catties. Although she could not return the favor, it was enough to make the Su Family excited.
Su Xinyu never thought that one of her neighbors could buy so much. However, his pickles could be put into the winter. It’s October now, and I’m saving a little. It’s too late to eat after the new year if you cut some food every day.
People had this kind of habit. I like to hang out with people. Seeing so many people buying the pickled vegetables with a few hundred coins, the rest of the people also returned with half a kilogram of money. Of course, there was still the matter of someone using Su Family to keep Du Pai. But in fact, everyone was very clear about this. If there really was leprosy, someone from the yamen would have sent him away long ago. And leave them with Su Family to ask for help? Moreover, with Qiao San and the others helping out in private, these words would be faster than anything if they didn’t have legs. Therefore, no one cared about this matter anymore.
What’s more, the wild pickles at Su Family are really delicious.” She couldn’t help but want to eat it a second time. At first, she thought it was too expensive. After buying half a catty of food, she was sure that she would have to come back and buy it again after a few days. Later, Su Xinyu saw that the inventory was placed way too quickly. It weighed less than a thousand catties, and in less than a month, it was already more than half full. After that, he could only limit his sales. Besides, she still needed to leave a few jars.
The other families that had received the “big gift pack” like Zhang Ziyi were also the Li Family. But this time, Su Xinyu did not send anyone over. Like Yi Niang, she got Hu Ya to give her five kilograms. It wasn’t that she was stingy, it was that there weren’t many of them. She even asked Zhang Ziyi to send a jar each to Seventh Grandmother and step grandfather. Of course, there were also fifty kilograms which he had to give to Wen Ling.
Zhang Ziyi looked at the things inside his own house, and was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: “Just leave the things inside the house in the back of Fifth Master. I received word that he would be here for some time next month. I’ll send you the rest. Do you have any more letters for me to take? ”
Su Xinyu smacked her forehead: “I forgot about that. Oh right, Ling Ge came here on business this time? ”
Zhang Ziyi nodded: “Mn. The war on the Wenjiang side was coming to an end. The rebel army was being pushed back and was now trapped in a valley. The news that came back from the first few days was that Vice General Tian had rendered a great merit by beheading the head of the rebel army. This time, he was the vanguard officer as he surrounded and annihilated the rebel army. When I come back, I’ll definitely be promoted to the next rank. ”
Hearing that Tian Liyong had levelled up, Su Xinyu was naturally happy. However, hearing that he was trying to eliminate the rebel army for the sake of the vanguard officer, she was still putting her life on the line. “Therefore, before she could even smile, she frowned again.” I hope the war is over soon. Nothing was as important as being safe. “But …” “Thinking about Wen Ling, she sighed. The war at Ling Ge should be starting soon, right? “
