Chapter 486(1/2)

After preparing the small steamed buns and pancakes, Su Xueyun and his daughter pushed the small wooden cart away. When they were walking on the road and met the people in the village, Su Xueyun greeted them openly, smiling and had a very natural attitude. This made the people who were originally secretly looking at her embarrassed, and they all smiled at her and said a few words.

After walking out of the village, Liu looked back and smiled and said, "It seems that no one is talking about you, that's fine. I'm really afraid that they will make you uncomfortable when they say that."

Su Xueyun smiled indifferently, "Mom, we just need to think about how to live a good life. There is no need to pay attention to other people's ideas. Each family has its own life, so they can't always stare at us, right?"

Liu nodded, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "My daughter is smart, and I solved this matter in a few words. You don't know, I was worried a few days ago, and I couldn't sleep at night. I just wondered what your father and I did, why are both children so miserable? Fortunately, I have divorced the bad woman now and covered up other things. The stepmother must keep her eyes open, find a wife who suits your brother and a family that is good for you, so you can't let you feel wronged."

"Then I'll wait for my mother to worry about me. My brother and I will be filial to our parents." After leaving for a long time, Su Xueyun saw the fine sweat beads on Liu's forehead, so she parked the small wooden car into the shade of the tree and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

Liu smiled and said, "You are just sweet-mouthed. You can rest for a while and leave later. I will push the car. Your small body is not good. If you push it to the town, you will definitely be too tired to move."

Su Xueyun shook her head and chuckled, "Mom, don't underestimate people. If you don't believe me, let's bet, see if I can push the car into the town easily."

"Go, why are the mother and daughter fighting? Am I still afraid that you will be tired?"

"Then I'm afraid that my mother will be tired. Your daughter has grown up, so how can you still work hard? You can enjoy the blessing of your daughter and son in the future." Su Xueyun pushed the small wooden cart again as she said, and said that she would not let Liu get in touch with her hands.

Liu had no choice but to look at her while walking, thinking that when she was tired, she would take the small wooden car over. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the town, Su Xueyun was really blushing and pushed the small wooden car onto the street selling things without any breath.

Liu couldn't help but circle around her, looking up and down with surprise, "Xiu'er, your body is really big, much harder than before."

"Of course." Su Xueyun grabbed Liu, pointed to a good location and said with a smile, "Mom, I think there is a good place, let's put it there."

Liu looked over there, shook his head, and leaned closer and whispered: "The good location is occupied by someone. You can't rob others. Otherwise, you will be scolded lightly, and you may even get smashed." She pushed the small wooden cart and turned the direction, and smiled, "Come with my mother, no one cares about it here."

"Yeah." Su Xueyun responded softly and understood that there was a fixed person to set up a stall in a good location. Naturally, anyone who has a hard fist can get it. Ordinary villagers in the village dare not imagine it easily.

She and Mrs. Liu came to an inconspicuous place, put the bamboo baskets on the ground one by one, and placed the eggs and pancakes inside to avoid bumping. Then Mrs. Liu cleared her throat and started selling.

"I've sold fresh eggs, bamboo baskets, and bamboo baskets, all of which are newly woven. Come and have a look..."

Su Xueyun's eyes rolled and then shouted: "The corn cakes I pasted at home are delicious and affordable, so I buy two cakes and get pickles, so I can't help but want to eat them..."

Liu was stunned and quickly pulled her, "Xiu'er, why are you calling me? You little girl, just help collect the copper plates. Let my mother come for this hawking."

At this time, a little boy spoke out, "Grandpa, what is a corn cake?"

Su Xueyun curled the corners of her lips and looked up. She saw a boy of six or seven years old standing a few steps away from them. There was also an old man in his fifties and sixties next to her. Both of them were wearing brocade and jade pendants, which were obviously wealthy.

Su Xueyun waved to the little boy without waiting for the old man to speak and said with a smile: "Young master, the corn cakes are made of corn flour, which are soft and sweet, and are delicious than better snacks. Moreover, this is the corn we grow ourselves, which grows very well and can nourish our health by eating them regularly."

The little boy tilted his head curiously and asked, "Health care? This thing looks very rough. Can it really nourish your body? Then tell me what benefits it is for your body!"

Su Xueyun picked up a piece of corn cake and broke it apart, shook it forward, and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit rough, this is how corn cakes are delicious. Do you smell it? We farmers don't know too many, but I know that eating too much corn cake will make people smart."

"Oh? Really?" The little boy couldn't help but take a step forward, then stopped and looked back, "Grandpa, I want to eat."

The old man smiled and took his hand to the stall, looked at Su Xueyun and said, "The little girl is good at speaking, and I miss the taste of corn cakes. I haven't eaten it for many years. Just get two for me."

"Okay!" Su Xueyun cleverly wrapped the two corn cakes to them, and also gave them some pickles as he said. "These two are better together. In fact, my mother can not only make such rough cakes, but also make exquisite and cute little steamed buns. You see, young master."

Su Xueyun brought the basket next to her, and when the cloth towel was lifted, it exposed the white, tender and cute little animal steamed buns inside. The small steamed buns were only as big as a circle made of thumb and index finger, and looked very small and delicate.

The little boy's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled, "Big Tiger! There is actually a big tiger, grandpa, this is really fun, is it really a steamed bun?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled at Su Xueyun, "It's indeed a bit clever. Are these twelve zodiac signs?"

Su Xueyun showed a embarrassed expression and saluted the old man, "It's the twelve zodiac signs, which makes the master laugh. The chefs in your mansion must have done much better than us. We farmers have no other advantages, so we have to make something different from others to see if there is any way out."

The old man's eyes became a little deeper, he patted the little boy's head and said, "Give us a set of twelve zodiac signs. The snacks made in the mansion have always been regular, but I forgot that my children will like these novel things. Coincidentally, my grandson has a bad appetite in recent days. If he eats well today, he will definitely come to take care of your business tomorrow."

Su Xueyun immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, I will give you my bag now."

She took a new basket and filled the small steamed buns of twelve zodiac signs, bent down and smiled at the little boy, "There are so many delicious things. If the young master has no appetite, he will find some fresh and interesting things to eat. Only by eating more can he grow into a man."

The little boy's mind had already flown to the food and said casually: "If you have any fresh and interesting things, I'll buy them if they are delicious."

"Then the young man, let's try whether the corn cakes and small animals are delicious." Su Xueyun did not climb up the pole and stood up and smiled at the old man, "The two corn cakes are four copper plates, and the twelve zodiac signs are sixty copper plates, a total of sixty-four copper plates. Thank you for helping us open it."

The old man took out a small piece of broken silver and said with a smile: "I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you, Master and Young Master." Su Xueyun bowed again and watched the two of them go away.

Only then did Liu come to his senses and said in surprise: "Xiu'er, you... have you sold the pancakes and steamed buns?!"

Su Xueyun stuffed the piece of silver into Liu's hand and said with a smile: "Mom, the silver is here, is it fake? Can these really be sold? Let's sell all the things quickly. It won't be delicious after it's stored for a long time."

"Hey, hey." Liu took the silver and bitten it, and finally showed an excited smile on his face. This is equivalent to 200 cents. He earned 200 cents a day, and one tael of silver in five days, and six taels of silver in that month. When did she make so much money!

Although Liu knew that it was impossible to be so lucky every day, he still couldn't help but get excited. He put the cakes and steamed buns in front of him, protected them like a treasure, and yelled them enthusiastically, even his voice was a little higher.

Just now, when the grandparents and grandchildren of wealthy families were buying things, many people around were watching. At this moment, they could not help but come over to see them. They always felt that even such a wealthy master had bought a lot. This thing must be delicious, right?

When Su Xueyun saw people around, she smiled and promoted her own things to them. Many people thought it was expensive. Su Xueyun naturally wanted to say that her food was unique, and she praised the corn cakes and white flour steamed buns so that there was nothing in the sky and underground. Even Liu next to her felt a little embarrassed to hear it.

But people only ate this set, and in just a quarter of an hour, they actually snatched all three sets of twelve zodiac signs and fifty corn cakes. Those who joined the fun and thought the things were expensive also bought the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets. Su Xueyun thought it was done in his mind. At this moment, he sold a total of 300 copper coins. With the broken silver given by Mr. Qiu before, he took the cost and made a net profit of 450 copper coins!

Liu was so excited that he couldn't speak, and he felt unsafe even if he held the copper plate.

Su Xueyun said with a funny look: "Mom, let's go and find my brother quickly, just look at how he works."

"Yes, yes, when you get to your brother, you won't be afraid that people will worry about the money. No, I have to ask your brother to take us back today." Liu pushed the small wooden cart and left, his heart beating fast, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.

Su Xueyun walked with her with a smile, carefully observing the shops and stalls on both sides of the street along the way. Compared with the village, the town is really prosperous. Occasionally, you can see a boutique store, which sells high-priced goods, while most vendors still sell ordinary things. There are many people selling food, including noodle shops, meat bun shops, snack shops, restaurants, and restaurants, all of which are available, but the business can only be said to be average, and they still have a chance.

When he arrived at Su Baizhu's workplace, Su Xueyun also looked at it. It was a small house, and it was being renovated. Su Baizhu helped build walls and carry them up. They were all physical work, giving eight copper plates a day and packed food. Su Baizhu basically found work in the town for a whole year, except during the busy farming period. The wages combined were nearly two taels of silver a year, which was considered an extra income other than farming. Compared with the men in the village, Su Baizhu was very capable, but such a work was really hard. If he continued to work for many years, he might have big and small problems at the age of 30. He was exchanging health for silver.

Su Xueyun pulled Liu's sleeve and whispered: "Mom, I'm too tired here. If something happened to my family again, I'm sure I feel uncomfortable. I think I'd just let me go home and rest for a while. At worst, I can ask him to help you push a cart to sell pancakes in the town."

Liu was stunned for a moment, and found Su Baizhu's figure from afar. A look of heartache slowly appeared on his face, and he frowned and said, "It's all the blame for that damn woman! If she hadn't always asked Zhuzi for flowers and flowers, would Zhuzi have to work so hard? Zhuzi felt uncomfortable now, and he even put in his energy to work and didn't know how to take a break at all. That woman is such a broom star! You're right, we won't teach you how to do this, let him go home and have a good rest."

Liu said to the people nearby, and the man helped call Su Baizhu over. Su Xueyun looked ugly and rushed over with a few big strides, and said nervously: "Mom, Xiu'er, why are you here? Is Chen Lanhua doing something wrong? I'll go back to tell the Chen family clearly that I don't care whether she is dead or alive!"

Su Xueyun smiled and said, "Brother, my mother and I are here to sell things in the town, and there are two good news to tell you." She glanced at the house and said, "Brother, stop doing it. If you have something at home, you can ask you to arrange it. Go and talk to them, take the things and follow us."

Su Baizhu looked at their faces carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were indeed happy. Then hesitated and said, "What's the matter at home? I can't do this job if I go home."

Liu said, "Then don't do it. Making money is small, but it's big if you are tired. You should pack up your clothes and stop doing it. We mother and I are waiting for you."

Su Baizhu had no choice but to go in and talk to the foreman apologized and told the foreman that the situation would not continue. The foreman did not make things difficult for him, but the half-day work he had done was in vain and he only paid the previous few days. Su Baizhu took the money and soon left the house with a small bag.

Su Xueyun saw a bun seller not far away, so she spent ten copper coins to buy five meat buns, giving Liu's two, Su Baizhu's two, and she herself.

Liu couldn't help but mutter, "What are you doing for buying this? Let's go home and eat cakes."

Su Xueyun smiled and said, "The cakes we sell at the same price as these meat buns. There are some cakes at home, so of course you have to eat meat buns that you don't eat often. Brother, you should eat them soon. You must be hungry after working for so long."

Su Baizhu was a little uncomfortable with the meat buns. He used to finish the work and bought the meat buns for them to eat. This was the first time he had eaten the buns his sister bought for him. He asked in confusion: "Does our family sell pancakes? Why is it the same price as meat buns? Does anyone buy them?"

Liu exclaimed, "Yes, not only someone bought it, but also bought all the fifty-two pancakes! I haven't come back to my senses yet. Your sister is too brave. She costs two cents each. She sold it before I can speak, just like a dream."

Su Baizhu was surprised when he heard this, but he understood that this was not the place to speak, so he didn't ask much and ate the buns in big mouthfuls. After he ate one, he wanted to give Su Xueyun the rest. Liu was like him, and he was rejected by Su Xueyun. After all, he persuaded them to eat all the buns. The two of them were satisfied and were in a much better mood.

When he walked to the entrance of an embroidery shop, Su Xueyun stopped and said, "Mom, tell me what happened at home first. I'll sell the embroidery work."

Only then did Liu remember that before she could tell Su Baizhu about divorced his wife, she hurriedly pulled Su Baizhu to talk.

Su Xueyun walked into the embroidery shop, looked at it casually for a few seconds, then straightforwardly explained the purpose of the boss's purpose, and took out the embroidery paintings and two patterns in the bag. The boss's wife didn't take it seriously. What good things can a village girl from a village come out? But after a glance, she was immediately attracted by the painting above. It was not that the embroidery skills in the embroidery painting were good, but that the composition made people subconsciously relax, as if the leisurely and indifferent feeling was felt during the outing.

The proprietress quickly picked up the embroidery painting and looked at it carefully. She looked at the two patterns over and over again several times. The wild flowers and weeds have their own unique charm, and the cute kitten is also very cute. She was quite fond of her holding the two patterns.

Su Xueyun asked with a smile: "The boss lady thinks it can still be seen?"

The proprietress nodded and smiled, "The girl's appearance is really good, and the embroidery is also very good. I wonder if the girl has any other appearances?"

At this time, Liu and Su Baizhu finished talking and walked over. Seeing that they were talking about things, they didn't interrupt. Instead, they saw the embroidery paintings on the counter and felt that Su Xueyun was getting better and better.

Su Xueyun thought for a while and said to the boss lady: "This is what I saw when I went to the mountains. I drew it on a whim and made it into a flower shape. If I talk about it, I can only draw what I have seen. I don't know whether it is good or not."

"Is this the girl painted it by herself?" The boss lady opened her eyes wide, and soon smiled again, and said hurriedly, "Miss is born to be a wise man. With these two pictures, the girl paints it must be bad. Girl, just draw it, and after finishing the painting, take it to me. I will give you a good price, and I won't lose you."

Su Xueyun looked at the embroidery paintings on the counter, "Those..."

"I want these. Embroidery paintings can be used as a kang screen. Although the embroidery skills are still insufficient, it is rare to have a good artistic conception. Just five hundred ci, and a look of two hundred ci, totaling nine hundred ci. The first time the girl came, I would make up for her,"

Liu gasped and his eyes were nailed to the embroidery painting. He never thought that the picture embroidered by his daughter was worth 500 ci! Even Su Baizhu looked at Su Xueyun in surprise, but he thought of Su Xueyun embroidery every day. After embroidery for four years, he gave all the five taels of silver he earned, and he felt heartbroken. As for the picture that could cost 500 ci, he was nothing strange. Isn’t it normal for his sister to finally sell it for a good price after embroidery for four years? Otherwise, wouldn’t his sister’s four years of hard work be wasted?

Su Xueyun took the one tael of silver handed over by the boss's wife, thanked the boss's wife with a smile, and asked Liu and Su Baizhu to leave.

When she left the door, she took Liu's arm and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm coming back to my senses. Think about if there is anything I want to buy. My daughter respects you."

Liu looked around and lowered his voice, "Xiu'er, you... are you really selling a tael of silver?"

"Really, you and my brother saw it just now. I don't know that the wild flowers and weeds I painted are so valuable. If I had known, I would not have embroidered them. Just selling flowers would be better. My eyes hurt because of embroidery."

When Liu heard this, he immediately forgot about the matter of silver. He pulled Su Xueyun to look at her eyes carefully and said with concern: "What's going on? Why do your eyes hurt?"

Su Baizhu frowned slightly and said, "I seem to have heard that some embroiderers have embroidered too much, and their eyes cannot be seen clearly when they are in their thirties."

"Ah? There's still this? I wouldn't have asked Xiu'er to learn it if I had known it!" Liu pulled Su Xueyun nervously and asked, "What else are you not worried about? Is your eyes sore?"

Su Xueyun hurriedly said, "It's not amazing. I've been embroidering for several years and I'm a little tired. It's just that the styles can be sold. I'll take good care of my eyes in the future. Embroider less, don't worry, mom."

Liu nodded and said with lingering fear: "Luckily, it's okay now. Don't embroider the eyes hurt. You have the same slumber. Take a good rest and don't worry your father and I."

"I understand, mom."

Liu was thinking about hiding the silver and was anxious to go home, and didn't want to buy anything. However, Su Xueyun still pulled them to pull a few pieces of cloth, planning to make clothes for the whole family, and bought meat, oil, salt and some seasonings. It cost three hundred people at once, which made Liu feel very distressed and said that he would not buy anything else. Su Xueyun could only say goodbye to the town with a little regret and return to that small village.

Su Dapeng was startled when he saw a small cart of cakes, and the basket turned into these things. After hearing Liu's story, he was even more surprised. He even said that they had good luck and met the grandchildren of the Qiu family. Otherwise, even if the corn cakes could be sold, it would be good to have a copper coin. Not to mention those little rabbits and little hedgehogs, no one can buy them!

Su Dapeng was not surprised that Su Xueyun's embroidery paintings were sold at such a high price, but instead felt very proud. He told Su Xueyun to embroider less in the future, but not to waste his embroidery skills. He also said that if he encounters any major difficulties in the future, at least embroidery can ensure that Su Xueyun will not starve to death. This is the comfort of a father for his children to be able to stand firm in the world.

The family celebrated again. The neighbors smelled the meat from their house for two consecutive days and couldn't help but mutter: "The Su family seems to be so happy, and they are not hit by Chen Lanhua's incident at all."
