Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 64: Prepare for a rainy day

The next day, Su Qingyu specially had breakfast at Lu's house and went out with Lu Shengcai.

"Is something wrong?" Lu Shengcai walked out of the door and asked her sideways.

"Well, let's go to the store with dad to buy some sauces and ingredients." It's up to anyone to buy it. If you have it at home, there's no need to go to other stores to buy it. Otherwise, Mrs. Wu will have something to say if she finds out.

Lu Shengcai was a little confused: "You want to sell these in your store?"

"No. It's because I have a lot of chicken and duck scraps left over. I don't want to waste them, so I want to cook them and see if I can sell them."

Lu Shengcai nodded and asked about the situation in the store.

Su Qingyao replied: "Yesterday the gross profit was a few taels, but it was so high that the number of customers should drop back in a few days."

Lu Shengcai was a little surprised. With a small business, he could make a few taels of gross profit a day, which was very good. Although his store has a lot of turnover, the gross profit is sometimes only a few taels.

"Very good. Work hard. If you need dad's help, just come to dad. Even if Bo Cheng is not here, you are still a part of this family."

"Okay, thank you dad."

Su Qingyu followed him to Luji Grocery Store and bought oil, salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, aniseed and other items. Some aniseed was not available, so Lu Shengcai asked her to go to the drug store to look for it.

Lu Shengcai didn't want her money, but in the end Su Qingyu insisted on letting it go.

Then she turned around and went to the drug store to find some aniseed ingredients, then went to the drug store.

When we arrived, several people were very busy. Seeing her coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

There seemed to be more customers today than yesterday. Because there was an event during the opening of the store, bamboo baskets and straw baskets were given as gifts. Many people came empty-handed to watch the excitement and make purchases.

Everyone carries several baskets when leaving. Exquisite and durable, you can use it for other purposes next time you take it home, and everyone wants to buy more. Su Qingnao bought two carts of bamboo basket grass and was about to run out of them.

After being busy for a while, she asked Su's father to take over and slipped back to the backyard.

Stew the chicken and duck scraps that have been cooked in advance in a large pot. It will take several hours to cook. It seems that we can't make it in time for the morning market. We can only wait and see if it can be sold in the evening market.

In the meantime, Mrs. Wu and Aunt Zhou came to get the vegetables. Seeing Mrs. Wu specially picked out a lot of fruits, Su Qingnao didn't say anything and only asked Aunt Zhou to stay and help look at the kitchen for a while.

The butcher stall is still very busy today, and there is a market for split meat. Su Qingliu and her father and mother Su got up before dawn to kill chickens, but later they had to go back to the backyard to restock.

Su Qingnao looked at her sister and her mother who were so busy that they didn't even raise their heads. Yaya was tied up and sitting on a small square stool by herself. She felt that they should hire someone to take care of this stall.

Let the other party boil water in the backyard to remove hair and collect the scraps.

When the morning market was closed, the rich aroma of meat was already wafting out of the braised pot of scraps.

Zhou Dajiang and others felt even more hungry after smelling it.

When several people were eating, they all picked some to try, and they all thought it was delicious. In the end, they even chewed the bones.

"It's so delicious before it's even cooked, so it will definitely sell out."

"It can be sold, but how much should it cost? I have placed a lot of money in it, and the aniseed material is very valuable."

When Su's father heard what Su Qingyu said, he suddenly felt that he couldn't afford these pieces of meat: "Why are you adding aniseed to this? Can the medicinal materials bought at the drug store be added to the meat?"

"Why not? I'm patching it up. It still smells good. Dad, don't you think it smells good?"

"It smells good, why doesn't it smell good? The smell makes me unable to stand in the front store, and there are still customers asking."

"Then let's take a look at the sales this afternoon."

By the afternoon, the pot of leftovers was sold out!

He actually got nearly one tael of silver, and everyone was a little excited. I’m not worried about the scraps left over today. I also said that if I make money, I’ll braise the meat and sell it.

"Let's take a look first. Don't worry. The data for the first few days of opening cannot be calculated as normal. We still have to wait a few days and take a look." Su Qingyu advised everyone.

Everyone calmed down.

The next day was the third day of opening. The number of customers dropped slightly, but the freshness remained the same. After a few days of chaos, everyone was able to perform their duties and deal with it calmly.

At sunset on the third day, Father Su and Mother Su were going back to Qiaotou Village. After staying for a few days, the step-grandmother would definitely have to talk. Even if they wanted to stay in the town to help their daughter, they would have to go back.

When they left, Su Qingyu bought a lot of things for them. When they were sent to the entrance of the town, she thought about it and said, "Mom and dad, please send Qingyang and Qingxing to the town."

"Ah, what can they do here? Besides, your grandparents won't agree." Su's father said.

"They are still young and can't do any work at home. Grandma will think that they stay at home just for food. Sending them here saves rice and food at home. They can also help me with some small favors and run errands. Look at you. Ah, you might as well free up my sister."

Mother Su thought for a while and said, "It's okay for them to run errands for you, help replenish goods, and help spread the news in the front and back stores. Yaya and the others can also help take care of you, and they can save you a lot of trouble. But Your grandma doesn’t agree.”

Su Qingyu had thought about this problem for a long time.

"In the future, I will ask them to take some copper coins from home as their wages in January. They will not eat from home and save rice and grain. Grandma will be willing. Besides, Qingyang has reached the age of enlightenment. I will be in the town when I arrive. Find him a private school and let him study for a few years."

Su's father waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, how much money does it cost to go to private school! Our family can't afford it! Your grandparents won't agree to it either. None of the grandchildren study, so let Qingyang make an exception. I have an opinion. If you know this, you won’t let Qingyang come to town.”

Mother Su was silent on the side. I originally wanted the two younger ones to come to town to help and bring some coins back to my mother-in-law, who would agree to let them come up.

But let Qingyang study?

Mother Su's heart moved.

Su Qingyu glanced at them and said: "Mom and dad, have you ever thought about it, if my eldest brother doesn't come back in the future, and Qingyang is taken away again in a few years, there will be no male in our eldest family lineage. Let's give it a try. He has been studying for a few years. If he has talent, he will become a scholar in the future and there will be no need to risk his life. "

Su's father and Su's mother were shocked by Su Qingyu's words.

My heart was shaking.

If Qingsong doesn't come back, will Qingyang also be taken away?

If they can't come back...then their big room will really be empty. Who will remember his mother then? Who burns paper for his mother? Several daughters even lost their natal families.

Su Dahai faced this problem squarely for the first time.

No, his eldest son must not have an heir!

Mother Su was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

The thought of Qingyang not being able to come back in the future makes my heart clenched. He held Su's father's hand tightly, and his nails almost dug into Su's father's flesh.

"Let Qingyang come to town! Let him come to town! Let's work harder and save money for him to study. We must provide for him to study!" Mother Su cried as she spoke.

Thinking of Su Qingsong's life and death, and thinking of Qingyang's unknown fate in the future, tears rolled down her eyes.

Su Qingnao didn't expect that her mother would cry.

She originally just wanted Su's father and mother to agree to let the twins come to town, but she was afraid that her step-grandmother would not agree. The two honest parents didn't know what to say when they got home, so they said something like that. Unexpectedly, it made Su's mother burst into tears. .

She also felt a little uncomfortable.

But I think it would be nice if they could prepare for a rainy day.

Su's father held Su's mother in his arms and comforted her: "Okay, I will go to my father when I get back and ask him to agree to Qingyang Qingxing coming to town."

"I will ask them to come to town even if they don't agree!" Mother Su said firmly.

Su Qingyu said with relief: "Mom, go back and tell grandma that I will give them a hundred copper coins each in January and let them take it home. Grandma will agree. Don't tell grandma beforehand if you are studying. ”

"Okay, mom will tell you this when you get back."

"Yes. The second aunt has been coming to the store these days and has seen the situation in the store. Mom told grandma that the store is too busy and she wants them to help."

"Okay, mom will tell you when she gets back." After saying that, she and Su's father left the town.

The couple was reluctant to pay fifty cash for hiring a taxi. Su Dahu went down to the village again, and the two of them insisted on walking back at night.

Su Qingyu looked at their backs, feeling quite uncomfortable. It seems that we still need to earn more money and save more money to feel confident.
