Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 97

In the end, Su Qinghe had four servant girls, Su Qinglan had two servant girls, Su Zhang's had two servant girls, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian had two servant girls each, Su Jingsen didn't want it, but he wanted to buy his three children, Su Jingsen also had a servant girl beside him.

This is already thirteen, plus two cooks, both of whom are a family of four, a total of 21 people.The prices of maids and servants are different, and the prices of women and children are different. The total sum, on weekdays, is nearly 100 taels of silver.It's just that it's a disaster year, and it's not even 50 taels.

Su Zhiping readily took out 50 taels: "I'll take the rest to drink tea, I may have to trouble you in the future, this idea is just my heart."

But those who pleased Mrs. Ding quickly saluted and said a few words of flattery before leading the rest out.

Su Qinghe's four maids are divided into two big ones and two small ones. The big one is called Yunduo Yunnuan, and the small ones are called Hong Ling and Huang Si.Su Qinglan and her sisters didn't distinguish between each other, so they simply followed her name. Although the older one wasn't decided, the younger two decided on blue satin and green gauze.

It just so happens that the two of them are still running an embroidery shop, so it fits the meaning here.

The two servant girls of Su Zhang's family were also named by Su Qinghe. The old man liked auspicious words, so they simply called them Tian Fu Tian Shou.The four servants of Su Zhiping and Su Zhian were originally named by themselves, but Su Qinghe became addicted to choosing names, so they pestered them to choose them together, and they were called Lichun Lixia Liqiu Lidong.

And the boy next to Su Jingsen got it from the maid next to Su Zhangshi, and his name was Tiancai.

The rest of the cook and her two families were called by their original names.

For fear of trouble in the future, these people signed a death contract to buy them in.Otherwise, the price will not be so expensive.Mrs. Su Zhang rushed in and out to arrange the residences for all the people, and told them what they had to do. Then she turned and went back to the house, and complained to Su Jingsen: "It's really tiring to buy someone."

"It's only been tiring for a while, and I won't be tired in the future. When you are free in the future, take Tim..." Su Jingsen frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't think about it, and continued: "Then Tim, go to the neighbors Playing around with signs and so on, I will wait to enjoy the blessings of my children in the future."

Su Zhang paused for a while and suddenly realized: "Zhiping Zhian, how much money did shopkeeper Yang give this time?"

"We planted a total of 50 mu of sweet potatoes and 40 mu of potatoes, a total of [-] catties of sweet potatoes, and a total of [-] catties of potatoes. We each kept a thousand catties for ourselves and sent three thousand catties to our hometown. Let grandpa and uncle sell it, the money has not been recovered..."

Mrs. Su Zhang interrupted him: "I don't want this, it's just to show filial piety to the elderly. We haven't been in the village for a few years, so we can't do our filial piety in front of us, so we can only give more money. By the way, father, or else , shall we also buy someone to go back and serve our parents?"

"Well, it's fine, but it will take two days, or if you buy a bad-tempered one, you will bully your parents when you go there." Su Jingsen hurriedly nodded and said, Su Zhiping brought the topic back: "I even gave it to the sheriff. The adults have [-] catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes each, and these were used for Mr. Shen, and another [-] catties were reserved for Mr. Shen, and some were also used up to entertain the migrants."

After a pause, Su Zhiping continued: "Then the favors of various places cost about 45 catties each, and the total sold to shopkeeper Yang was [-] catties each. Shopkeeper Yang said before that the sweet potato was sold at the price of two yuan. The price is calculated at the price of a catty of silver, and the price of potatoes is calculated at the price of half a tael of silver."

There are too many favors, the little officials under the county guard have to give some to each other, and Su Zhiping and his school, at least you have to give some to the dean, this is not a bribe, it is a sophistication of the world, they don’t care about it Things, but pay more attention to the students' minds.

However, with the big head of the county guard under pressure, officials elsewhere will definitely not exceed five thousand catties, three thousand and two thousand one thousand, which is almost enough.

Su Jingsen rubbed his chin: "Well, it's this price. Sweet potatoes can only be eaten roasted or boiled in soup. Potatoes can be cooked, porridge or roasted. They are delicious, but they are indeed more expensive."

"So, how many 10 taels of silver were sold for sweet potatoes and potatoes?" Su Zhang's eyes widened instantly. This was not excitement, but shock. She knew that the things grown by her daughter were rare, and she had always Earned several thousand taels of silver every year.

However, hundreds of thousands, that is totally unthinkable.How many copper coins can fill a room?How many silver ingots can fill a room?How many gold bars can fill a room?How many houses can these pile up?

Su Zhang and Su Jingsen felt that all gold and silver were spinning around in front of them, making people dizzy.

"Father and mother, don't be too happy, I don't want that much." Su Zhiping looked a little nervous, and Su Zhian added on the side: "We told shopkeeper Yang that we only need 90 catties of sweet potatoes for a total of 60 catties. money, and nothing else.”

However, 60 catties is more than enough. 30 catties of sweet potatoes cost 6 taels of silver, and 30 catties of potatoes cost 15 taels of silver.Add it all up, that's 21 taels of silver!
"Then what about the rest?" Su Jingsen hurriedly asked, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian didn't get angry, and they also breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't this year a year of severe drought? For the rest, I'll let Yang The shopkeeper sent it to all the disaster-stricken areas for free."

This thing was sent by Mr. Shen before.Now that their family has got money, they have to find a way to accumulate virtue for Mr. Shen.If the common people know that Mr. Shen brought back these sweet potatoes and potatoes, then Mr. Shen will definitely become famous. At that time, the emperor will also have to think about it. How can Mr. Shen be locked up for such a great contribution?

After listening to this explanation, Su Jingsen was silent for a long time, and sighed: "You are right, we have to repay Mr. Shen. I don't know if this method can be used, but don't make mistakes at that time. By the way, you say Let shopkeeper Yang send it to various places, will everyone think that shopkeeper Yang made this thing?"

Mrs. Su Zhang also nodded along: "Those refugees are very pitiful. We have done our best and done more good deeds. There will always be good rewards in the future."

"No, shopkeeper Yang said, he will tell people to tell the people." Su Zhiping said with a smile, they still trust shopkeeper Yang's character.

Putting this matter aside, the Su family was happy for a few days as if it was Chinese New Year.But only [-] mu of sweet potatoes had been harvested from the [-] mu of land, and there was still [-] mu of sweet potatoes left untouched. Su Jingsen started to get busy again, and seeing the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Qinglan and Mr. Huang also set off for Liu Village together.

Su Zhang was busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian went to school every day, and Su Qinghe was left alone, so it was quite boring.

Soon, however, she found something to do.She didn't do it voluntarily, but it was something that Mrs. Su Zhang found for her - Mrs. Su invited an embroiderer back, and planned to let Su Qinghe learn embroidery at home with peace of mind.

If you don't learn, you can't do it anymore. Since Su Qinghe was seven or eight years old, Su Zhang has been saying it for so many years.At first, she learned from Su Qingfen, and later Su Qingfen got married.Then he learned from Su Qinglan, but the age difference between her and Su Qinglan was so small that Su Qinglan couldn't control her at all.

This year, Su Qinghe will be 15 years old, and at her level, she can only embroider a fat duck on a handkerchief and two clumps of grass on a schoolbag, which is really difficult.Therefore, Su Zhang had no choice but to act ruthlessly. Anyway, if the family had money, they could hire teachers for Su Qinghe.

She has heard that girls in big families not only need to embroider from elementary school, but also have to ask their husband to study since childhood.For her family, it's fine to study. She studied with her two elder brothers since she was a child. Most people can't compare to her.So I only need to learn embroidery, not to be the same as Su Qinglan, at least half of Su Qinglan's.

With the idea of ​​strict discipline, the embroidery master Su Zhang invited was really merciless.Su Qinghe is stuck every day, and he can't rest until he finishes his homework.Su Zhangshi was satisfied, and Su Qinghe almost cried on the bed.

Fortunately, someone came to rescue her soon.

As soon as Su Qinghe heard that there was a guest coming, she immediately wanted to ask for leave. The embroidery master rolled her eyes: "There is a guest at home, and that is also the business of your father. I have gone back and forth four or five times just to drink water and wash my hands, I can't finish embroidering this pair of mandarin ducks this morning, so don't eat lunch, when will you finish embroidering, and when will you eat."

Su Qinghe's eyes were full of tears, but the master didn't like her, he just lowered his head and stabbed and embroidered the big screen, Su Qinghe squinted his mouth, so he had to lower his head and continue to work hard.

As a result, the sky is as one wishes, and before three stitches have been embroidered, Tian Fu, who is beside Su Zhang, came over, saluted the embroidery master with a smile, and politely asked Su Qinghe for leave: "Madam asked the lady to go outside to greet the guests , for disturbing Mrs. Liu's teaching, please forgive me, Mrs. Liu."

"It's okay, then girl, let's go, but today's homework can't be left behind. If you have time in the afternoon, you can continue to do it in the afternoon. If you don't have time in the afternoon, then you can continue to do it in the evening. In short, before tomorrow afternoon, you have to do it." of."

Mrs. Liu didn't show mercy either, the homework became an extracurricular homework, and Su Qinghe had to respectfully agree to it.There is no way, it is instinct to respect the teacher.

Walking around to the main room, Su Qinghe saw Su Zhangshi and Su Jingsen sitting at the lower head without entering the door, while a young man in moon-white clothes was holding a teacup and sitting at the upper head with his head bowed.On the other side, there were Song Haoming and an unknown person.

Frowning slightly, Su Qinghe entered the room, first called her parents, and then swept up the young man at the head.

Su Jingsen hurriedly said: "Xiao He, show respect to Mr. Shen."

Su Qinghe opened her mouth wide in an instant, Mr. Shen?And at this moment, the young man with his head down raised his head and looked at Su Qinghe with a smile.Although those eyebrows and eyes are a bit more vicissitudes than those seen a few years ago, Su Qinghe has not forgotten that this person is really Mr. Shen.

"I've met Mr. Shen, how is Mr. Shen?" Su Qinghe adjusted her expression and hurriedly saluted. Although she hadn't studied etiquette systematically, she still knew how to salute. People care about.

Mr. Shen hastily put down his teacup and raised his hand: "Please hurry up, Miss Xiaohe is still my savior, so don't be so polite."
