After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 87
When Su Mo led the three children to the carport, she found an acquaintance.

The head of the yamen servants - Li Feng.

He seemed to be handling a case, with a straight face, not arrogant.

But after seeing Su Mo, he immediately showed a flattering smile, and said hello: "Madam Gu, are you here to buy in the county today?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded, looking behind him.

"Ban Li, this is..."

Li Feng winked at the yamen servants behind him, telling them to stay away, and then said: "A few days ago, a female body was found on the pier. No, I just caught the suspect and is going to bring him back to the yamen for interrogation."

He glanced at the pannier that Gu Pingan was carrying, paused, and said:

"The deceased was a bridesmaid. In the past two months, she became rich, and was envied by others, and was murdered for money.

If Mrs. Gu comes to the county to buy on weekdays, she should pay more attention. The county magistrate is still waiting for the end of autumn to plant wheat in the fields. "

Su Mo nodded and thanked Li Feng: "Thank you for the reminder."

Seeing Su Mo on the road, Li Feng smiled more sincerely, and then mentioned the seven-acre experimental field.

"It's been seven or eight days since the last plowing, how is the situation in the field?
How many days will it take to plow again? "

Su Mo would go to the field every other day to take a look, so he knew the situation clearly.

When Li Feng asked about it, he said without hesitation: "The water just released two days ago, now it's cold today, and it dries up slowly.

The old man in the village said that it will rain again in a few days.I can't say exactly when. "

Li Feng didn't have to have the exact time, as long as he could know it in his heart, lest the county magistrate ask about it, but he didn't know anything about it.

"OK, then you will do the same as before, send someone to deliver a message to the yamen a day or two before the start of work."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Li Feng had to rush back to the county government.

This Xi Niang was previously employed by the Hu family, and when Mrs. Hu learned of the death, she sent a housekeeper to send a message to the county magistrate, asking them to investigate the case quickly and return Xi Niang justice.

The county magistrate handed over the matter to him and limited him to find the murderer within seven days.

The yamen has a lot of things to do, and it can be said that it has been very busy these days. Now that the suspect is caught, Li Feng naturally wants to close the case as soon as possible.

He bowed his hands and said goodbye to Su Mo, then gave his subordinates a wink, and the group pushed the suspect down and headed for the yamen.

Su Mo led the three children back to make an ox cart.

Chen Lihai and Wang Taoqing led a sheep and waited at the gate of Gu's house.

Wang Taoqing saw the four of Su Mo coming back, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"Master Gu, I brought you this ewe."

She walked up to Su Mo, winked, and lowered her voice a lot.

"This goat's milk is sufficient. The man said that if it is well-raised, it can produce milk for seven or eight months."

Su Mo had long wanted to buy ewes or cows so that the three children could drink a glass of milk every day.

It was only after I went to the county to inquire about it that the cows I bought were used for plowing or making carts, and the milk production was low.

As for mutton, there are few people who raise it, and the ewes are kept to feed the lambs. There is no one to match them, and people are not willing to sell them at all.

In desperation, Su Mo had no choice but to set his mind on Xishan.

At the beginning, it took two and a half months to receive the compensation gift from the Wang family, but now it has been more than three months, and no one will gossip if you use the trap.

It's just that she just went up the mountain to rearrange the trap, and when she got back, she saw Wang Taoqing waiting at the door of the house.

The two greeted each other, and Wang Taoqing explained his intentions.

This Chen Cihai knew a sheep breeder who had two ewes and planned to sell them because he never saw the pregnant lambs.

As a result, as soon as the news was released, it was discovered that both sheep were pregnant.

After much deliberation, the man decided to wait until the sheep were born before selling them. The sheep have a lot of milk, so one of them should be saved to feed the lambs.

When Chen Cihai got the news, he immediately remembered that Su Mo had inquired about milk-producing cows and ewes, so he told Wang Taoqing about it and asked her to pass a letter.

If Su Mo decides to buy it, he can pay for it first, and then he can take it away after the ewe gives birth.

This is really dozing off and coming to the pillow, Su Mo responded with a smile, and gave Wang Taoqing the money, this is how the current scene came to be.

Su Mo frowned slightly, and thanked Wang Taoqing: "Please trouble sister-in-law."

Wang Taoqing smiled and waved her hands, "It's a trivial matter, so there's nothing to worry about.

If it really counts, sister-in-law thank you.

Last month, I sold the apricot paste you taught us to make in Huzhou Prefecture and made a lot of money. "

Before, Mrs. Li gave Su Mo the apricots picked by her natal family, and there was no way she could finish a big basket of them.

Su Mo recalled that when she was a child, there was a loquat tree at home, and there were so many loquats to eat, so her mother boiled it into loquat paste and soaked it in water to drink.

She went to the county, bought some white sugar, and tried to boil the apricots into a paste, soaked in water to drink, it was sour and sweet.

Later, when Wang Taoqing and Li Shi came to Gu's house, Su Mo soaked apricot cream in water for them to drink.

After a few people tasted it, they all felt that the taste was good, so they asked what was in it.

Su Mo didn't hide it, and told them directly that it was apricot paste made from apricots and sugar.

Xinghua Village has a lot of apricots, and Mrs. Li knows it very well.

There are seven apricot trees in her natal family, and the apricots can't be sold out every year, and she can't bear to waste them. As a result, the whole family will suffer from eating apricots.

Now that I know that apricots can be boiled into ointment, I am moved.

Her son is already 13 years old, and she does not expect to send him to study for the imperial examination, as long as he can earn money and enable the family to live a good life.

Mrs. Li immediately expressed her intention to sell apricot paste with Su Mo in partnership. Su Mo will provide the prescription, and she will do the rest, with a [-]-[-] share.

It was just rejected by Su Mo. Gu Jinnian was going to be an official, so she definitely wouldn't go into business.

Besides, she crossed the river by feeling the stones herself, so there was no solution.

If Mrs. Li really wants to do it, just do it directly. As for the taste, if you want to have a better taste, then naturally you have to try more.

Li also did what he said.

I bought a lot of white sugar, boiled a small pot according to the approximate ratio provided by Su Mo, and then let everyone taste it, and adjusted the ratio of sugar and apricots according to everyone's evaluation.

Finally, on the eve of the woman she called to taste was about to get tired of eating, she mastered the most suitable ratio.

The apricot paste is ready, and the next step is to sell it.

This kind, like candied haws, belongs to the processed food. If you want to sell it in the county, you need to go to the Yamen first and find the corresponding officials to report.

The Yong Dynasty had a very good rule for the common people to do business - those who report for the first time will be given a chance to regret it.

Seven days after the report, it will be changed to a business registration, and during these seven days, you can go to the Yamen to cancel the report.

After reporting to Chen Heyun, Mrs. Li anxiously took the prepared six catties of apricot paste and packed it in a small clay pot, and went to the county to sell it.

She adopted Su Mo's suggestion and used a small bamboo tube as a bowl, soaked it in water on the spot, tasted it before buying it.

Because the price was set high, there were not many people who bought it at the beginning. Chen Heyun was ready to go to the Yamen to cancel the report on the seventh day. Who would have thought of turning around.

A woman said that her master soaked the apricot paste in water and drank it for a few days, and the coughing and phlegm became less.

This time I made a special trip back and forth to buy two cans at once, which is four catties.

Some people listened to their hearts, and left and right apricot cream soaked in water, one teaspoon at a time, so they bought some and went back to try.

Before long, all the apricot paste was sold out.

Planed off ceramic pots and sugar, earned more than 100 Wen.

Mrs. Li and her father-in-law got excited immediately, and they were not planning to cancel the report, they rushed to buy sugar, and continued to make apricot paste.

Seeing Wang Taoqing, he was a little moved, and it happened that Chen Cihai found a job and went to Huzhou Prefecture with the cargo ship.

She discussed with Mrs. Li that she would pay for Mrs. Li to make apricot paste and let Chen Heyun follow Chen Cihai to Huzhou Mansion for a try.
