At noon the next day, Su Chen finally made about a hundred bamboo sticks, and his originally thin and tender hands had a few purple calluses.

Labor is easy to say, but actually doing it requires hard work, and practice makes perfect.

Next, Su Chen taught Yang Ling'er step by step how to use a knife to scrape the edges of Shanlihong and remove the hard core inside.

"First make a circle horizontally to a depth that reaches the kernel. Then cut it horizontally and rotate it with your hands. In this way, you can squeeze and squeeze gently to easily take out the kernel. Yes, that's what it looks like."

Su Chen explained the techniques in detail while doing the work.

"As for the bottom, use a knife to dig out the black part. Be as careful as possible not to crack it. Make sure it is intact so that it can be threaded."

Yang Ling'er nodded, learning things very quickly.

An hour passed and Su Chen finished processing more than six kilograms of hawthorn fruits. He clapped his hands and realized that he was halfway done. He was now ready to prepare the syrup.

If the production goes well, a batch of candied haws can be made in the evening, which can be taken out tomorrow and sold in the streets.

However, Su Chen also knew that just by selling this thing, it would not be enough to earn back 500 yuan in more than 20 days. However, he could earn some start-up capital first and invest in subsequent small inventions.

While the brother and sister were bored at home making candied haws, word had gradually spread in the streets outside that the eldest daughter of the Bai family had accepted the poetry pursuit of her crush.

The name of Su Yixuan, a talented scholar from Jinling, quickly spread among the literati circles in Runzhou City.

The literati circle spread again in the land of fireworks, and then all the three religions and nine schools in the city spread it.

In the eyes of many people, this is a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman.

In this era of barren entertainment, it is a good piece of gossip news.

"At the poetry club activity during the spring outing, Bai Susu personally took out the lyrics written by her lover. She was likened to a fairy, and wrote about the deep feelings of sadness and longing. Even Xu Da, a talented woman, was moved and commented that this song and lyrics can be spread.

A hundred years later, it will be regarded as the first farewell speech of the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River."

A young scholar was unconvinced and said: "The most famous farewell poem in the Tang Dynasty, this evaluation is a bit excessive. Can it surpass Mr. Feng's poem?"

"Looking at the desolate Guanhe River, thousands of miles of clear autumn, I can't bear to stare! Yao Yao Shenjing, Yingying Fairy, don't come to Jinzi. It's hard to meet. Listen, such rhetoric is not even at the same level in Mr. Feng's collection of poems.

This Su Yixuan is so talented!" An old scholar, wearing an old patched t-shirt, was sitting at his stall selling calligraphy and paintings, eloquent and stroking his beard to comment.

There were several scholars dressed as scholars nearby, all holding folding fans in their hands. They stood there listening in awe.

A short young man in a green shirt asked: "What about this sentence? I secretly thought about how many happy and beautiful gatherings we had at the beginning, but how could we have known that the difficult time of gathering and separation would turn into sorrow and sorrow! Could it be that Su Yixuan secretly followed Bai Bai in private?

Susu has had many trysts and committed adultery?"

"Could it be that Bai Susu is already pregnant?" Another scholar with a tall, slender appearance expressed his guess.

"Ah, goddess!" Someone suddenly reacted and howled directly.

This kind of scene is happening in many streets and alleys.

In the fireworks venues, brothels, and restaurants in Lianqinghefang area, there are already people from Qing Dynasty singing this song "Quyuguan-Longshou Yunfei", which undoubtedly further promotes the spread of this song.

I believe that this song and lyrics will become a popular song in the streets in the near future.

While others were guessing which talented person Su Yixuan was from Jinling, what his character and appearance were like, Xiaotong was already in several alleys in Liuhefang, asking about Su Chen's past deeds.

In addition to the negative comments of being a playboy, a prodigal, an unworthy descendant, and becoming stupid after studying.

There was also an earth-shattering harvest: Su Chen actually bet on dominoes and owed Cao Dan, the third son of the Cao family, 500 guan of money. He had to pay it back within one month, otherwise he would have to use his ancestral home and his little sister to pay off the debt.

Xiaotong was quite surprised and regarded this person as basically a scumbag.

She wanted to bring this news to the eldest lady as soon as possible, and she must not let the eldest lady Susu be deceived by this playboy.

……..

The Bai family's mansion is located in Run'anlifang in the Taishikou area of ​​Runzhou City.

Because the Bai family has been operating in Jiangdong for decades and has rich assets, one-third of the area of ​​the village is occupied by the Bai family's residence, which is at least sixty or seventy acres. The gate is wide, the stone lions stand, the walls are high and the green tiles are high, and the courtyard is full of trees.

The roof ridges are continuous, and the attics are scattered among them.

This is a house with five entrances and five exits. It combines Jiangnan gardens with northern wall-mounted patterns. It is divided into main hall, front hall, backyard, flower garden, garden waterside pavilion, side rooms in other courtyards, woodshed, etc. It is home to three or four generations of the Bai family.

Large groups of people live among them.

Bai Susu owns an independent courtyard, a two-story vermilion attic running from north to south. There is also a side room in the courtyard with a stove, where servants can make a fire alone to cook.

Peng Qingqing was boringly dancing with a sword in the courtyard, her figure was graceful and graceful, the sword was rustling and cold, she was really as beautiful as a jade sword and a rainbow.

At this time, Bai Susu came from the old man's room in the back house, looking a little unhappy and thoughtful.

Peng Qingqing put away her sword, took out a silk scarf from her arms, wiped the fine sweat on her snow-white forehead, and said with a chuckle: "Sister Su Su, what did Grandpa Bai say to you when you were called just now?

You look a little embarrassed."

Bai Susu stopped and sighed softly: "What happened at Tachun Poetry Society yesterday spread throughout Runzhou City. Naturally, grandpa came to me to ask who this Mr. Su Yixuan was, how we met, and whether we had done anything.

Something out of line?"

Peng Qingqing snorted and said: "Yes, I also heard about it on my way here in the afternoon. His poem was highly praised. The talented people passing by on the street were all talking about this Jinling man while walking.

The talented man is very curious. Of course, he compared you to a fairy, and now many scholars in the city who have never seen you are eager for your appearance. Su Yixuan became famous overnight!"

Bai Susu glanced at it and corrected: "That's the rise of fame."

Peng Qingqing smiled awkwardly: "Yes, my reputation has skyrocketed."

Bai Susu shook her head and smiled bitterly. There was nothing she could do about it, and she added: "Grandpa asked me to handle it myself. Although the release of this news will help the Bai family reject the Cao family's marriage proposal, it will also damage my reputation after all. It is said that I have a relationship with him.

We had a private tryst and committed a life-long private affair, which is beyond the pale. This will damage the reputation of a girl who has not yet left the court. Therefore, grandpa is worried that it will be difficult for me to get married in the future."

Peng Qingqing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter how long it takes, let's get through the current hurdle first. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty. In two years, no one will remember this matter. You still can't choose a good son-in-law to marry."

"Having said that, after all, it had some influence. Even I didn't realize it. Things developed beyond expectations!" Bai Susu is well versed in business planning, but she still failed to calculate the content of this poem and people's attitude towards gossip.

level of enthusiasm.

At this moment, Xiaotong ran in, his face stained with sweat, and he gasped: "Miss, I, I found out, this person is not a good person!"

"Who!" Peng Qingqing asked.

"Su Chen!" Xiaotong said.

Bai Susu frowned and said, "Come upstairs and tell me in detail the news you heard today."

Half an hour later, Xiaotong explained in detail the news she had inquired about in Liuhefang today. The little maid did not read much, but her brain was very good at remembering trivial matters.

"He is a dandy, a prodigal, a debauched man, a prodigal, and he lost five hundred coins in gambling!" After hearing this, Peng Qingqing stood up with the scabbard in her hand, wanting to draw her sword and kill this scumbag.
Chapter completed!
