Chapter 58
Lian didn't choose, so Su Yu helped her choose. Her family is not yet rich, and Su Yu chooses silver jewelry. She picked out a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet, and picked out a pair for herself. Earrings and two strings of small silver bells cost 20 taels of silver in total.

"Fish, mother still doesn't want it."

Su Yu looked at Lianshi anxiously, but didn't speak.

Lian couldn't stand being watched by her daughter.

"purchase!"

"Shopkeeper, wrap it up."

Su Yu held Lian's arm and smiled brightly.The father and son didn't know much about jewelry, and they stood aside dryly.

The next step is to buy food for the family to celebrate the New Year. Su Yu is quite experienced in buying food. After buying it in a circle, half an ox cart is already loaded on the car. Su Laoer is already used to it. He has seen his daughter buy it before. The ability to buy.Mrs. Lian was sweating a little on her forehead. Today she couldn't even calculate how much money her daughter had spent.I just spent 20 taels on jewelry and more than 20 taels on fabrics. When I went to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for my son, I spent another [-] taels.

She didn't know pens, inks, paper and inkstones were so expensive. Her daughter usually bought them, and she didn't ask how much they cost.

It is not clear just how much money my daughter spent today, let alone eating more than half of the ox cart.

After walking around several streets in the town, Su Yu was still a little unsatisfied. When he had time to go shopping in Fucheng, the town was too boring.

"We've almost finished shopping, let's go back."

The three of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves, and they were relieved at the same time, as they were going back.

Su Sheng thought to himself that he would never go shopping with his sister again, otherwise he was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it.

It was already dusk when I got home, and the people who built the house were still working. Seeing that the Su family had bought an ox cart, it was no surprise.The house of the Su family will be built more than ten days after the new year. The houses of the Su family are different from those built by the villagers. They are smaller.At this time, the people in the village realized that the Su family was different from them, and they could be landlords in this way.

29 No one came to work this day, and they would not start work until the third day of the Lunar New Year. Su Yu's ears were quite quiet.

I have been tired for more than ten days, and these days can be regarded as a good rest. Previously, the amount of three pigs a day, the whole family had to be busy until dark, but now the remaining large vats of lard are a bit annoying.Just looking at the amount of oil used by her mother's cooking, Su Yu knew that if she sold it, there would not be many people buying it, so she had to think of a way.

The Su family sold the lard residue left over from boiling lard to the villagers at the price of one penny per catty. They didn't even think about making money from the villagers, but just wanted not to waste it.

There are quite a few people in the village who come to Su's house to buy oil residue. Although it is left over from oil refining, in the case of most people who can't eat meat once in a few months, they open meat for the villagers. Those with children at home, The child's complexion improved a lot.

Su Yu thought about it and finally thought of making soap, but she didn't remember the proportions clearly. She seemed to remember to use plant ash water, so she wanted to try it first to see if it worked.

Su Yu is a man of action, and he couldn't sit still when he thought about it. He burned some plant ash and put it in a basin, poured water into the basin, stirred it, and put it back in his room to let it settle overnight.

After one night, pour the ash water into the boiled lard and put it in the pot. When the boil is almost done, pour it into a small wooden box made by my father and put it in the yard to let it form naturally. To remove the film, I felt that something was wrong when I started to use it. I went to fetch a basin of water and tried it. There was very little foam and it was greasy. It seemed to be a failure.

She had to think of a way, otherwise, what would she do with so much lard?

Su Yu didn't try to let her father idle, and asked him to make a mold for herself.Although Su Lao Er is not a carpenter, he is good at hand. The soap mold is not difficult to make, just a small rectangular wooden box.

By the time Su Yu figured out the proportions of soap, it was already New Year's Eve, and Lian had been rushing to work for the past few days. Before the New Year's Eve, she drove out a new set of clothes by herself. People can wear new clothes.

Today is New Year's Eve, Su Yu insists on cooking by herself, the father and son are standing not far away like invisible people listening, of course they want their daughter (sister) to cook, but they don't say a single word Dare to say.

Mrs. Lian didn't argue with her daughter today, she knew her own skills.

With the consent, Su Yu immediately swelled.

"Mom, you are the best."

Su Yu plans to cook all the food he wants to eat during this time, fried small fish, deep-fried pork chops, braised pork, pickled fish, seven or eight dishes, Su Yu is still in the mood, Lian's side Already stopped.

"That's almost it. You've made so much, don't you think you'll be eating leftovers every day for the next few days?"

Su Yu was right when he thought about it. Anyway, there is plenty of time during the Chinese New Year, so I will do some in these few days.

"Okay, I'll go see if Big Brother and the others have finished their work. After that, we'll have dinner."

After saying this, the man ran out of the kitchen house.

"Dad, big brother, have you posted it yet?"

"It's coming soon, my daughter is coming just in time, you help dad to see if it's right, I feel a little crooked."

Su Laoer stood on the ladder with one hand leaning on the ladder, and the other hand reached to paste the couplet, while Su Sheng supported it underneath.The couplet was written by Su Sheng. Su Sheng didn't study for a long time, so his writing can only be counted as Zhou Zheng.

"Dad, go up a little to the right."

"so?"

"Yes, it's not crooked."

After pasting up the couplets and hanging a pair of red lanterns at the entrance of the hospital, the three of them went back to the kitchen to have dinner.

Put the eight dishes and one soup on the table. Although the house is still dilapidated, it does not affect the good mood of the family at all. Erhu is burying his head at the table and eating. Except for fish, there are other dishes on the table It has it in the basin, and Su Yu specially gave it to it. For Chinese New Year, it has to be something good to eat.

Su Yu went back to her own room, brought out a small can of wild wine that had been brewed earlier, and poured a glass for everyone.

Several people looked at the red wine in the cup and were all very curious. Su Laoer picked up the cup and took a sip. There was a fragrance of grapes and the spiciness of the wine. The taste was a bit strange, but after a few sips, you got used to it.

"Come, let's have a drink as a family and wish next year will be better and better."

The three of them imitated Su Yu's example, picked up the cups, clinked them, and each of them took a sip.

Mrs. Lian couldn't help but cough. The wine was a bit choking and she couldn't get used to it, but she had never drank wine before.

"Mother, drink slowly, this wine tastes only after being tasted slowly."

Su Yu, who was sitting by the side, hurriedly patted Lian's back.

"You drink less, don't get drunk by then."

"No mother, the alcohol content is not high, you won't get drunk after drinking a small glass."

Su Laoer was helping out.

"When it's Chinese New Year, let your daughter drink some, and Brother Sheng also drink more. As a man, you must learn to drink some."

"I know dad."

Su Sheng was as talkative as ever.

"Father, mother, I plan to open the shop after the fifteenth day. I can't go to the shop. I have to help at home. No one in our family can spare a hand. Why don't we buy someone?"
