Chapter 32 New Business

He was even willing to pay two copper coins to ride an oxcart home.

"Since the city is not at peace, we won't go back. Otherwise, if something happens on the way, we won't have anywhere to cry."

Ms. Yin deliberately lowered her voice and looked around with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Su Xiaomu didn't find it funny to see Yin's frightened look. She looked at her holding her hand tightly and felt a little regretful in her heart.

If I had known that saying this would frighten Mr. Yin, I should have given him another reason.

The bullock cart staggered back to the village.

Mrs. Yin stopped chatting with the villagers on the road and immediately took Su Xiaomu back home.

But before the two of them had time to enter, they heard Mrs. Chen complaining to Gu Ruotong.

"Ruotong, tell me, why are the wild vegetables getting old so fast this year? They were still green when we went up the mountain two days ago, but today they are old, hard, and yellow and not fresh at all."

Ms. Chen looked at the wild vegetables in her basket and picked through them.

Ruotong's little face was also full of worry, and she said timidly: "It will not taste good to make pancakes with wild vegetables like this."

"Let alone making pancakes, even if they are left for us to eat at home, I would still find them hard to swallow."

The more Chen looked at these wild vegetables, the more boring they became.

She was just about to take these wild vegetables to the kitchen when she saw Su Xiaomu and the others came back.

So he continued to complain to them: "Look at these wild vegetables that are so old, how will we make cakes tomorrow?"

"I'm a little old, so don't be in a hurry to make pancakes now. Second sister-in-law, please see how many are fresh and edible. We'll fry them tonight. We won't be in a hurry to make pancakes and sell them in the city in the next two days.

.”

Su Xiaomu looked at the wild vegetables and found that they did not taste very good.

"That's okay, it just so happens that you can rest at home for two days."

Mrs. Chen saw that Su Xiaomu was fine now, so she ordered Gu Ruotong to plant wild vegetables.

He leaned next to Su Xiaomu and lowered his voice and said to her: "What about my veil?"

"Isn't it too early to go out today? Second sister-in-law, you didn't even give me the veil.

But I went to that store today to have a look, and the handkerchiefs sold in their store are all average in embroidery work, and they are not as good as your ingenuity, second sister-in-law."

Su Xiaomu is the best at picking up what others like to say, and sure enough, Mrs. Chen immediately became happy after hearing it.

She looked proud: "Yes, the second sister-in-law dare not guarantee you anything else, but as for this embroiderer, I am indeed the best embroiderer in our village, otherwise my handkerchiefs would not be sold in the city."

It’s not okay to go.”

"I know the second sister-in-law is very powerful. Otherwise, she will take the veil to my room later so that I can take it with me next time I go to town and I won't be delayed."

Mrs. Chen could see that Su Xiaomu was really willing to do things for her. She said a few words of thanks with a cheerful look on her face, and then went to put away the handkerchief happily.

"I still have to think about it, besides selling pancakes, what else can I do to eat freshly?"

Su Xiaomu moved a chair and sat under the tree.

This simple thing is easy for others to imitate. Although it can make money, it is still quick money and it still won't last long.

But if something is too complicated, the Gu family may not have the capital to support her tinkering, and the little money she has is not enough to invest in it.

You still have to think carefully, this is not a decision that can be made hastily.

Su Xiaomu was worried at home.

Over there, Zhou Lin was carrying pancakes in the academy and walking back and forth in front of Gu Jingcheng.

Leaving made him upset.

"Have you finished reading all the books Master assigned? Or have you also finished the article I asked you to write yesterday?"

Gu Jingcheng put down the brush in his hand impatiently.

"There's no need to worry about that. I just want to ask you now, why are you so weird lately?"

Zhou Lin conveniently placed the cake in his hand on the table where Gu Jingcheng was writing.

However, he knew that he had many rules, so he only dared to put it in the corner and did not dare to touch anything on his table.

"What's abnormal?"

He didn't even need to notice, the familiar smell of pancakes had already entered his nose.

I just told her yesterday that I didn't need to go to the city to do business, but today I went against him and insisted on making money.

But no matter how much money she earns, she won't use a single cent of it.

"I just met the pancake seller Su on the road, and she said you ordered this pancake from her.

We've known each other for such a long time, and this is the first time I've seen you spend money on food like this."

Zhou Lin continued with a complicated face: "Didn't you tell me before that you should have less contact with her? Why did you say something different than what you did? You secretly went to buy pancakes from her."

Gu Jingcheng's face froze when he heard this, and then he sneered: "Is that what she told you?"

"Yes, so you said you are abnormal or not."

Zhou Lin curled his lips and said, "Are you just asking the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't want Zhou Lin to know about the relationship between the two of them, so he made nonsense.

"It's just that her business was not good, so she happened to see me passing by and sold it to me at a cheap price."

"You just came in from outside. I don't believe you haven't noticed that there are obviously more people selling pancakes outside recently than before."

"I...I just discovered it, but I didn't think that their food is delicious, and it shouldn't affect much business."

Zhou Lin didn't expect this to be the reason. He scratched his head in embarrassment: "But even if it's very cheap, it still costs dozens of copper coins. You don't really like eating this, so why are you willing to buy it?"

"It's not because you like to eat. If it weren't for your sake, why would I be willing to spend this money?"

Gu Jingcheng just wants to shut his mouth now, and doesn't want to do anything else.

Su Xiaomu didn't know what Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin were going through. She sat in the yard for a long time and couldn't figure out what to do next.

I felt a little irritable, so I thought about going out for a walk and breathing in the fresh air in the village.

Mrs. Yin happened to have nothing to do, so she asked her to go out for a walk with her.

"Anyway, your second sister-in-law has finished her work. My sister-in-law is staying at home and has nothing to do for the time being. How can you walk around the village and not know the way? My sister-in-law will help you recognize people."

Mrs. Yin walked to Su Xiaomu's side and said in a very gentle tone: "Let's go out."

"OK."

Su Xiaomu stayed for a while before reacting and going out with Mr. Yin.

Needless to say, she was in quite a complicated mood at the moment.

After all, in the beginning, Mrs. Yin was afraid that she would run after her every time.

Two people walking in the village.

Su Xiaomu didn't know anyone anyway, so he felt more and more bored as he walked. His mind was not distracted, but his legs were sore from walking.

Just when she was about to call Mrs. Yin to go back, the only butcher in the village happened to push a cart towards them. Seeing what was on his cart, Su Xiaomu's eyes suddenly lit up.
