Chapter 117 The eldest daughter Su Qiaoniang is back
The busyness of November came to an end in December, and the magnificent house was completed.
Chen Yu's mood was about to soar while sitting in the main room. For those who once lived in a pigeon cage made of reinforced concrete, this antique mansion simply fulfilled all their fantasies.
Not to mention that every yard and every corner of his main house was designed by himself, and with Su Erlang's excellent craftsmanship, it was perfectly realized.
The good news came one after another. The first good news was that Chen Yu was appointed by the government as the headmaster of the female school, which means the principal. This simply made the whole Sujiazhuang boil. There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate.
Chen Yu can't keep a low profile even if she wants to.
Then there is the opening of Su Yunniang's restaurant. The name of the restaurant was given by Chen Yu. Sihai Restaurant and Dengxian Restaurant are quite rivals. Next to Sihai Restaurant is Sihai Wine Country. The owner of this wine shop is Su Deyan.
Because of this incident, Su Deyan was so excited that he cried when he went home. Although he was not very old, he had lost his son in his later years. If he did not take care of his only grandson, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Having this shop was second to none. The main thing was that Chen Yu gave him a reassurance.
The plaque on Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop was removed and replaced with the plaque on Sihai Embroidery Workshop, clearly telling the people of Qingniu County that this area belongs to the old Su family.
Almost overnight, the Su family suddenly emerged as a new upstart in Qingniu County.
The girls' school will not officially start classes until spring and March, so Chen Yu is still enjoying a leisurely life in his mansion. The embroidery workshop is left to a few wives to manage. The restaurant belongs to Yun Niang, and Chen Yu doesn't want to
I have worn out my youthful bones, so it is important to strengthen my body. Only by being in good health can I better protect my young soul and girlish heart.
Of course, it's not just lying flat. Although the Dawangzhuang workshop has not yet started construction, it has harvested a lot of food.
In addition to the soybeans used for brewing soy sauce and doenjang, the sorghum used for brewing is also enough for a year, so advance training is needed. The brewing cannot be placed in Dawangzhuang, because the water used for brewing is Tianlaiquan in its own replacement space.
, the skills of making soy sauce and miso were taught to Su Wulang and his wife, and the skills of making tofu were also taught to Su Wulang, and the recipe of how to eat tofu was given to Su Yunniang. Su Wulang and his uncle
The relationship between brother and brother is so harmonious. The two of us make tofu together, deliver goods together, and share money together. Their relationship becomes deeper and deeper.
"Second sister-in-law." Su Deyan came to the door. He was busy with the wine shop these days, so he came to see Chen Yu when he had some free time.
Chen Yu asked Su Deyan to sit down: "Is there not enough wine to sell?"
Su Deyan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and nodded: "It's not enough. Thanks to Yun Niang's cleverness, she reminded me that I can only sell a small amount to many people every day, and I won't go out of business because of lack of wine."
Chen Yu smiled and said nothing.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not here today to talk about wine." Su Deyan said seriously.
Chen Yu asked: "What's going on?"
"It's about farming. I saw a lot of corn hanging in my second sister-in-law's yard. The ears are really big. I just don't know what else to do besides making popcorn?" Su Deyan asked.
Chen Yu knew that Su Deyan was very smart and had a big heart.
"Corn has many uses. It can be used to satisfy hunger and can be ground into flour just like corn. After grinding off the outer skin, it can be used to cook porridge. The corn stalks can be used for hand-weaving and can be used as firewood and fed to cattle and sheep. The corn cobs can be used to make wine." Chen Yu.
After a pause, he said: "But these are all mentioned in miscellaneous books. We haven't had them here before, so I don't know if they will work."
Su Deyan asked excitedly: "But what did my brother say?"
"Yes, he also said that if he could find this kind of rice, the world's granaries would be plentiful." Chen Yu never minded using his late husband's brother as a cover.
Su Deyan suddenly said: "As expected, my brother is a gentleman who cares about the country and the people."
Chen Yu didn't answer.
Su Deyan calmed down his sadness and said, "Second sister-in-law, is it possible for me to find some people to plant corn together after spring?"
"It's not urgent at the moment. Let's discuss it later. There is still some time before we leave Chun." Chen Yu smiled and did Tai Chi. After all, these things must be under his control.
Su Deyan smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, listen to the second sister-in-law. No matter what the second sister-in-law arranges, I will be the first to support it."
"Thanks to Deyan's help these days, it's still early to start farming, but we harvested a lot of grain last year, so we need to deal with the wine shop urgently." Chen Yu knew very well that Su Deyan could not agree to everything he asked for, but
You have to give him enough sweetness.
Su Deyan's eyes lit up: "I will pay to build a wine workshop. Does the second sister-in-law agree to this?"
Chen Yu glanced at Su Deyan, the main reason for good wine was good water. Su Deyan opened a wine shop, how could he bring Tianlaiquan into it?
Su Deyan thought that Chen Yu was unwilling, so he quickly said: "I am not doing this business alone. Yun Niang has to come to make the wine. I can't do a business without capital, so I will pay to build the winery, and the profits will be shared equally with Yun Niang."
Chen Yu smiled: "His third uncle is a person who cherishes the younger generation. Let's do it this way. Each of our families will get half of the money, just to live a good life. No one should eat too much and occupy too much. Only in this way can we have long-term peace and stability."
"Okay, I'll listen to my second sister-in-law." Su Deyan happily went back to discuss the matter of building a winery in Kaichun.
Seeing the New Year approaching, Chen Yu went to meet Zhou Yufeng and his wife in person.
Including Lan Niang who lives here now, the three women of the Zhou family live a quite warm life. When Mrs. Zhao saw Chen Yu, she was extremely enthusiastic and could make her stand up like a noble person.
"I'm here to take you home for the New Year." Chen Yu got straight to the point.
Ms. Zhao was stunned, Chen Yu's tone was so natural, even her own mother had never said that.
Chen Yu said with a smile: "When Yufeng brought Lan Niang back, I regarded you two as relatives in my heart. I can't refuse to go back to have fun during the Chinese New Year."
"I, I just didn't expect it." Mrs. Zhao really didn't expect that Chen Yu would come to pick up her mother and daughter to go to Su's house.
To outsiders, the two families were sworn enemies, but Zhao knew in her heart that Lan Niang had killed Zhou Dalong, but she had also saved herself and Yufeng. Otherwise, she would have died in Zhou Dalong's hands, and Yufeng would have been killed.
How could he find a chance to marry into a random family and live as relaxed and carefree a life as he does now?
Therefore, she was sincerely kind to Lan Niang, as if she were her own daughter.
"Let's go home and celebrate the New Year." Chen Yu took Ms. Zhao's hand and said, "The car is right outside the door. Let's just get a few changes of clothes. There is a big enough space at home now, and I will definitely let you have a good New Year."
Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhou Yufeng, and Su Laniang also looked at Zhou Yufeng. Zhou Yufeng smiled and said, "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and go home to celebrate the New Year."
In this way, Chen Yu took Zhou Yufeng and his wife back and arranged them in the first courtyard of the east chamber.
Originally there was no Su Shikun's courtyard, but before the east courtyard was built, something happened to Su Lan Niang, so Su Shikun's courtyard did exist. Su Shikun didn't know where it was, but Lan Niang was there, so it was appropriate for her to live here.
When Mrs. Zhao came to visit her for the first time, she took a breath of air when she saw the grand courtyard of the Su family. What do you mean by a wealthy family? This is simply more grand than the Li family!
The twenty-third is the New Year, the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven. Chen Yu got up earlier. Today Yun Niang will stop the restaurant and go home to celebrate the New Year. Sihai Embroidery Workshop will also close down and her family will gather together.
Chen Yu, who was looking forward to it, saw a middle-aged woman walking in the crowd, who looked like she was being escorted through the door, and her heart skipped a beat! The eldest daughter, Su Qiaoniang? Why is she so old?
