Chapter 34

The houses in Yonggu County are very tidy, and the people on the street are wearing long gowns and have no color on their faces. At least they are well fed and clothed. There are also young ladies with pearl hairpins on their heads.

The shops on both sides of the street are open, and people are coming in and out. There are also small shops on the roadside, many selling noodle soup and wontons, which means that people here can eat well.

After observing along the way, Su Yunnuan quickly walked to a wonton stall on the roadside.

The old woman who was cleaning up the stall saw Su Yunnuan and smiled: "Girl, the wontons are sold out today. Come over early tomorrow."

"Auntie, I want to rent your stall, is that okay?" Su Yunnuan asked.

The old woman looked at Su Yunnuan: "How long will it be rented for?"

"It will only take an hour or two. If Auntie is willing, I will rent your stall as long as I come to Yonggu County. I will give you five hundred coins each time." Su Yunnuan said with a smile: "I won't delay Auntie's business."

The old woman picked up her apron and wiped her hands. She looked at the people behind Su Yunnuan and smiled: "Okay, the world is not good. If you can help me, I'll help you. You can use it."

Su Yunnuan quickly bowed to the old woman, took out a piece of pork from her backpack and handed it over: "Give it to the aunt to eat, don't waste the money."

"This kid is so sensible." The old woman took the pork over with a smile, moved a small bench and sat next to it.

Su Yunnuan asked Pan Yushuang to clean up the tables and stools in front of the stall. Qi Xuan and Pan Yubao went to fetch water and buy firewood. They put on their aprons and opened the pot lid. They took out fresh green onions, yellow rock sugar, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce and

Old smokers are shady things, so they have to carry everyone on their backs.

Old ginger, fragrant leaves and other common things are put into the pot and covered with a layer of meat. After putting the rock sugar and condiments, add Shaoxing wine and a small amount of water and cover the pot.

After doing all this, Qi Xuan and Pan Yubao bought firewood, and Pan Yushuang lit the fire. Su Yunnuan chatted with the old woman while watching the fire, and learned that the old woman's surname was Zhou. Now there is only one person.

, now I just rely on the wonton stall to make a living.

"Aunt Zhou is such a hard-working person." Su Yunnuan smiled and chatted with Aunt Zhou, and also talked about her family's situation, which made Aunt Zhou shed tears and kept saying she was pitiful.

The aroma slowly spread, and many people couldn't help but stop and look over. Some people came over to ask what was delicious.

Su Yunnuan looked at the juice and said with a smile: "This is the secret Dongpo meat. A piece of meat costs twenty cents. If it's not delicious, we won't take any money."

"Sister-in-law, is that okay?" Pan Yushuang whispered worriedly. After all, this piece of meat can only cost two taels, so a pound of meat costs one hundred cents.

Su Yunnuan gave Pan Yushuang a reassuring look and took the Dongpo meat out of the pot. As soon as the meat was taken out of the pot, there was a sound of slobbering in the crowd.

"It smells so good." The girl in the carriage said, "Uncle Zhong, stop the car."

The carriage stopped, and the little maid outside the carriage quickly opened the curtain and asked: "Miss, what are your orders?"

"Go over there and see what tastes so delicious." The girl pointed to the shop across the street: "Buy some and take them back."

The little maid received the order and quickly came over with the money bag. She wandered around outside the crowd for several times without getting in. She stamped her feet: "Get out of the way! Miss Ninth wants to buy food and drink!"

The cheering crowd suddenly separated on both sides. Su Yunnuan raised her eyelids and looked at the little girl dressed as a maid who came over, wondering, this Miss Ninth is so majestic.

The maid came in and saw a large pot of red ruby-like meat. She clicked her tongue twice and asked Su Yunnuan: "Little lady, what kind of meat do you have? How do you sell it?"

"Dongpo meat, twenty cents a piece." Su Yunnuan took a small plate next to her, put a piece of meat on it and handed it over: "You can give it to Miss Ninth to have a taste."

The little maid smiled and said: "Look at how smart you are, I'll send it to our lady. Just wait, you won't eat for nothing."

Su Yunnuan added an extra piece: "Please take a piece, little sister, too. Thank you for helping me run errands."

Now the little maid smiled happily, holding the plate and covering it with a handkerchief, she hurried to the other side of the street.

Su Yunnuan didn't yell, and these onlookers had no intention of buying. Instead, they all looked at the carriage opposite.

After a while, the maid came over supporting a girl wearing a veil. Needless to say, this was Miss Jiu.

Su Yunnuan walked out of the stove and walked in front of her.

Wearing a light pink coat and skirt, a white veil covered Miss Ninth's true face. She looked at Su Yunnuan through the veil and asked, "How much Dongpo meat do you have?"

"This pot is ninety-nine yuan." Su Yunnuan replied.

Miss Jiu glanced at the pot of steaming meat and said slowly: "I'll give you five taels of silver and sell it to me in the pot."

Su Yunnuan lowered her head: "Yes, should it be delivered to the house or to the carriage?"

"Uncle Zhong, take it away." Miss Ninth turned around and left, and the driver strode away with the meat basin.

The little maid gave Su Yunnuan five taels of silver and whispered: "You are in luck, this meat is delicious."

Su Yunnuan thanked her, took the money and put it in her purse.

The carriage left, and now the crowd was not calm. Someone asked: "Hey, do you keep your word, little lady? Can you sell this meat for twenty cents a piece?"

"Sell it." Su Yunnuan looked at the speaker: "But it will take an hour to finish."

"Miss Ninth said it's delicious, just an hour, I'll wait!" After saying that, the man actually sat on the stool next to him.

There were already many people surrounding him. After this person sat down, these people hesitated for a while before sitting down and assuming a waiting posture. Only a few people left.

Su Yunnuan quickly washed the pot and put in the meat.

Pan Yu's double fight was so bloody that her hands were trembling. She never knew that making money could be so easy! With just one word from the noble lady, she got five taels of silver.

There were four buckets of meat in total, one bucket of meat and one pot. The third bucket of meat was gone after it came out of the pot. Before the fourth pot was out of the pot, Miss Jiu's maid came back and forth. It seemed that she was walking in a hurry and was out of breath.

He patted his chest and took a deep breath before saying, "I just said you got lucky. Do you still have any meat?"

Su Yunnuan nodded: "Yes, it's the last pot. What do you want my sister to do?"

"I don't see that you are older than me, just call me Xianghua." The little maid sat down and said, "Our lady would like to invite you to come and sit for a while. All the unsold meat will be delivered to the house."

Su Yunnuan looked troubled: "Sister Vanilla, I haven't finished this yet, so I can't serve it."

"I'll just wait." Vanilla took a handkerchief to wipe away her sweat: "Let me sweat all over, just in time to take a rest."

Su Yunnuan sat next to Vanilla and whispered: "Sister Vanilla, it's my first day in Yonggu County. This stall is rented by Aunt Zhou. I want to leave a few pieces of meat for Aunt Zhou to eat, okay?"

Vanilla nodded: "Okay, what's wrong with that? By the way, where do you live?"

"From Yugu Village." Su Yunnuan said.

Vanilla clicked her tongue twice: "People from Qingniu County, you look so smart. We in Yonggu County can afford these food and drinks. I'm afraid not many people in Qingniu County can afford them."

Su Yunnuan smiled and said nothing.
