hidden old spring

Chapter 36

Su Changan stayed in the kitchen all day, selling 37 boards in the morning and 41 boards at night. In the end, Su Changan made the decision and left three pieces of tofu. He asked the two brothers to take two pieces and kept one piece for himself.

She has been making tofu for two days, but she has yet to taste what the tofu tastes like.

When sending the two brothers off, Su Changan paid them two wages, 100 Wen for the silver egg and 80 Wen for the copper egg.

Su Changan counted out the wages in front of the two of them. Each copper coin had a special charm in the still-dark night, making both brothers look at it intently.

When the copper coins were tied up with red strings and held in their hands, the two children even felt like they were in a dream.

When the two children left, they each held two hard-boiled eggs in their hands. Their footsteps were light and graceful as they left.

The two children left. Su Changan had just finished drinking the medicine, and before she had time to cook the piece of tofu left behind, someone knocked on her courtyard door again.

Su Changan stood in the room and waited for two seconds before remembering to open the door. When he walked out of the room, he found that the courtyard door had been opened a crack.

When Yin Dan and Tong Dan left, they closed the door from the outside without locking it. Now it was knocked open, but the person standing outside the door did not directly open the door and come in, but continued to treat it as if the door was closed. The ones who stay usually knock on the door.

"The door is open, come in."

Since the door was unlocked, she didn't go forward.

She was quite tired after a busy day today. Her whole body was sore and weak and she wanted to rest. She didn't want to walk even if it was only a few steps.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and in came Li Dahu, Aunt Li, Tong Dan and Tie Dan.

Both Li Dahu and Aunt Li were holding things in their hands. Li Dahu was holding a piece of pork belly weighing at least two kilograms, and a large carp weighing at least four or five kilograms.

Aunt Li was carrying a basket on her arm. The basket was very large, covered with a blue cloth and bulging under the cloth.

Yin Dan and Tong Dan each held a cloth bag containing grain in their hands. They couldn't tell what was inside, but they seemed to weigh at least ten kilograms each.

Su Changan didn't understand what this family was doing with so many things. Before he could ask, Li Dahu spoke first.

"Kowtow to your master quickly. Thank you for your master's willingness to teach you such skills that can support your family and make a life for yourself!"

Yin Dan and Tong Dan didn't say anything. They quickly took a few steps forward and knelt down on the ground again. Then they kowtowed to Su Chang'an three times, which was enough to scare Su Chang'an.

What's going on? ? ?
Li Dahu waited for his son to finish kowtowing, then smiled and talked to Su Chang'an again.

"The two children have already come home and talked to me. These two children are too ignorant. No, they just came home and told us about this. My mother and I hurriedly prepared the apprenticeship ceremony... It was too hasty. I didn’t have time to get some wine, it’s really rude.” The apprenticeship ceremony also has certain specifications, and logically there should be wine, but Li Dahu felt that giving a little girl wine would not be useful, so he replaced it with rice noodles and rice in the name of haste. A jar of lard is something that can be used in daily life at home.

Aunt Li also said with a smile at this time.

"Yes, yes, it was too hasty... Hey, I don't know what to say because of this. In the future, you will be my son's master. I will call you sister. Sister, in the future you will have If you shout something through the wall, my sister-in-law will definitely hear it!" There is a wall between the two families, so you can hear any slightest movement.Yindan took the initiative to help, and even said that when he wanted to become a disciple, Li Dahu was listening under the wall.

Later, Yindan called Tongdan over. While the two brothers were helping to make tofu, Li Dahu and his family were at home and didn't go anywhere.

It wasn't until the two children came home with copper coins and eggs and tofu that the family's hearts dropped, and then they couldn't stop being happy.

Yindan and Tongdan are the second sons in the family. According to the rules, everything in the family belongs to the eldest son. If Li Dahu and Aunt Li are still alive, they can still have food and clothing at home. If Li Dahu and Aunt Li die, the children will Separate and say goodbye.

If Tiedan has a conscience, he will give three parts of the family property to other brothers. If not, he can just kick the brothers out of the house.

Li Dahu now takes Tie Dan with him to teach him the same reason. From now on, everything he owns will belong to Tie Dan, not only his family property, but also the business he makes a living from.

It's not that Li Dahu doesn't care for other children, but the rules are like this today. When he is still alive, he will find some way out for other children, but the only way he can find is to send the children to be apprentices.

Now the two children have found a way to make a living for themselves. Although they are also apprentices, they may not be able to learn their skills even if they work as apprentices for three to five years. The family has to pay for the master.

Be an apprentice to Su Changan. Although Su Changan is young, he will be paid.

One hundred yuan a day, three taels a month, is just the apprentice's wages, not counting the things Su Changan gave him.

Such a good master, not to mention that Su Changan is just young, even if she has short arms and legs and needs two children to take care of her, she must happily accept this master.

Li Dahu and Aunt Li were both very polite when they came this time. Seeing that Su Changan had no time to cook at such a late hour, Aunt Li volunteered and carried a basket with things and asked Tong Dan to go into the kitchen with them. It was getting dark and it was not easy to cook. It was a complicated dish. Aunt Li stewed all the two kilograms of meat she brought for Su Changan. She brought a pot of pork stewed with tofu and white flour pancakes on the side of the pot. The amount was enough for Su Changan to eat for two or three days!

Su Changan wanted to keep the whole family together to eat together, but it was impossible. Li Dahu and Aunt Li quickly pushed away, and then told the two children to leave quickly, as if there were ghosts chasing them behind them!

The Li family came and left, and when they left, Yindan even shouted to lock the door for Su Changan, so he went back and locked the courtyard door for Su Changan from the inside, and then quickly climbed over the wall and went out.

Seeing how neatly he climbed over the wall, Su Changan looked at the closed courtyard door several times and felt that this thing seemed useless.

This incident made Su Changan confused. Even now, she still doesn't understand why the Li family came. After everyone left, she could finally ask the system what was going on.

While asking, Su Changan greeted Xiao Huang and Donkey.

The kitchen was full of the smell of meat. Xiao Huang was very excited when he came in, his tail wagging like a hot wheel.

But Xiao Huang was very disciplined and did not go up to turn on the stove. Instead, he followed Su Changan's feet step by step and only looked at her with his big wet eyes.

Su Changan did not disappoint Xiao Huang. After all, two pounds of meat and such a large piece of tofu would not be enough for Su Changan to eat even if he died.

Su Changan first served a bowl of meaty meat to Xiao Huang, and then handed two pot stickers to Donkey to eat first. Then he found a pair of bowls and chopsticks to serve some out, and then found a place to sit down. Then I tasted it with concentration.
