God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 55 Xudong Bookkeeping

Lu Shi also heard from his wife that his daughter would spend more than 100 taels of silver to buy the rotten land at the end of the village, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Fang Er, more than 100 taels of silver is not three or five taels. Do you know when it will be paid off? Now your farm has raised so many chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, plus a few acres of land, the family has no worries about food and drink, so why expand the farm?"

More than 100 taels of silver is a huge sum of money for the country people, and you can’t just borrow it if you want to. As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that her daughter wanted to contribute the money, she began to feel uneasy, fearing that something might happen to her daughter.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about money, I have a solution!" Su Kefang smiled and comforted him: "And I know about the expansion of the farm."

Su Peng looked at her and said, "Fang'er, Daming was here yesterday. I didn't say anything because I was afraid of hitting him. Do you really guarantee that your farm can make money? What if you lose money?"

Su Peng was not worried that she would not be able to collect more than 100 taels of silver, but that his daughter would lose everything if he threw the money down.

Although Jia Shi didn't say anything, the expression on his face showed that he disapproved of Su Kefang spending a lot of money to buy that piece of broken land.

Su Kefang saw his family's worries in his eyes, and couldn't help but fell silent.

Su Peng and the others thought that she was shaken by their words, so they didn't speak again, waiting quietly for her to think clearly.

I don't know how long it took before Su Ke looked up at them and said, "Father, mother, sister-in-law, there is actually something I haven't told you all this time!"

"What's the matter?" Her daughter's serious look immediately made Lu nervous.

"Actually, the fish floss and tempeh dace we ate recently are all made by me, and they have been sold for a while." Su Kefang smiled slightly and looked at them.

She didn't want to disclose this matter so early, but in front of her were her closest relatives, and she couldn't remain indifferent to their worries, so even at the risk of causing trouble, she still loosened the fish told them.

"Fang'er, are you serious? You made those fish floss and tempeh dace?" Lu Shi and Jia Shi were taken aback. They always thought that Su Kefang bought those foods from the town.

Surprise flashed in Su Peng's eyes.

Su Kefang smiled: "Of course it's true, otherwise, where do you think I got the money to open the farm? And I set up fish ponds to raise fish for the convenience of making fish floss and black bean dace."

"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?" Su Peng frowned and said, this is a good thing, what is there to hide?
In the past, this girl's cooking skills at home were mediocre, but she didn't expect her cooking skills to skyrocket within half a year after marrying into the Fu family!
"Father, our family has neither power nor influence. I just don't want to be too conspicuous, and I didn't intend to hide it from you." Su Kefang said, this was also her real thought.

Opening a farm raises some poultry, which at most makes some people in the nearby villages jealous, but those rich and powerful people look down on them, so she is not worried, and even plans to expand the farm to provide fish floss and bean drums. The dace business is a cover.

Keyu floss is different from dace in black bean sauce, and she is worried that someone will come up with a recipe for making these two things.

"The business of fish floss and dace in black bean sauce is very profitable?" Su Peng asked.

"For us, it is!"

Seeing Su Kefang nod his head, Su Peng sighed lightly: "This shouldn't be too ostentatious."

After speaking, Su Peng told Lu Shi and Jia Shi again: "You keep your mouths shut, and don't cause trouble for Fang'er."

"We know!" Shi Lu and Jia Shi nodded together.

Fang'er spoke so bluntly, even if Su Peng didn't remind them, they wouldn't foolishly talk about it.

"Then if this happens, will someone trouble you?" For some reason, Lu became even more worried after hearing that the fish floss and black bean dace were made by his daughter.

"Mother, if this matter really spreads and causes trouble, at worst, sell the production methods of these two things, so that everyone can benefit, and nothing will happen!"

Soldiers are coming to block, water is coming to cover, she has already thought of several countermeasures, of course, she hopes that she is worrying too much.

With the help of Liu Daming in the farm, Su Kefang went to the town almost every day to help Aunt Lu and the others make fish floss and tempeh dace, because there were only a few days left to deliver to the "full house".

One day, as soon as Su Kefang entered the yard, he saw Xudong squatting in the yard drawing something on the ground with a branch.

"Xudong, what are you doing?" Su Kefang walked over with a smile.

"Miss, I'll ask Xudong to figure out the family's expenses these days." Aunt Lu smiled.

After such a long time, Aunt Lu and the others still couldn't change their address to Su Kefang.

"Xudong can still read?"

Not to mention the countryside, even the children of ordinary people in the town are seldom literate. Su Kefang was really surprised that Xudong, who was a slave, would settle accounts.

"When I was young, my family's conditions were okay, and my father sent me to a private school for a few years." Xu Dong smiled embarrassedly.

Su Kefang knew that Xudong was sold by his second uncle to a boy to repay the debt because of the huge debt owed by his parents before they died of illness, but he didn't know that he had ever studied.

"Xudong, what books have you read before, and how much do you know?" Su Kefang thought for a while and asked again.

Knowing that although Xudong only studied in a private school for three years, he has not been neglected all these years. He has practiced calligraphy secretly no matter in the shop or at the master's house, and he can recognize more characters than when he was in the private school. Su Ke Fang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Xudong, wait for me!"

Su Kefang hurried out of the yard, and soon brought back a stack of rice paper, pens and ink, and a few other posters.

"Xudong, from now on, except for shopping in the streets and delivering goods to the Wang family, don't worry about other things for the time being." Su Kefang put the things in his hand on the table and said, "You can make some simple account books with these rice papers. Let’s write down the daily expenses and the accounts of the Wang family, I will check it at the end of the month, and practice calligraphy more when you have free time.”

"Miss--"

The lady actually bought him stickers and asked him to help keep the books? !

Xudong looked at Su Kefang in disbelief, unable to speak out from his excitement.

Su Kefang smiled: "Don't be too happy, I have very high requirements for the account book, you have to be careful to record it, and you can't make a mistake in any account!"

She wants to see how Xudong's foundation is. If he has a good foundation, maybe he can focus on training him!

"Yes, miss, I guarantee that I will make no mistakes!" Xu Dong said seriously after being excited.

Xudong knew that this was an opportunity given to him by the lady, and he must seize it!

A few days later, at the end of the month, when Zhao Jingcai returned to the town, Su Kefang and others had already prepared the goods for the "full building".

Although there was a "full building" carriage to pull the goods, Su Kefang was still worried and asked Xudong to follow Zhao Jingcai to deliver the goods to the restaurant.

This is the first business deal with "Full House", and there must be no accidents.
