After fetching water, the siblings went to make snacks.

In fact, sacrifices are also particular, such as fruits and snacks.

Peaches and pomegranates are the most positive fruits among fruits, which can be used to drive away evil spirits and ghosts, so they are not suitable for sacrifices.

Although there are not too many taboos in the types of dim sum, the number is mostly singular.

Among the five elements, odd numbers belong to yang and even numbers belong to yin. The tomb is already feminine, and the sacrifices enshrined must be masculine, and the harmony of yin and yang can ensure the peace of the future family.

Su Xiaoxiao made sweet barley, radish cake, and jujube cake, and Su Ergou helped her. The siblings cooperated tacitly. When the steward Yu came to ask how long it would take to bake, Su Xiaoxiao was already loading the plates.

The refreshing aroma filled the whole room.

Steward Yu swallowed.

Where did someone make the offerings so fragrant?

Most people think that sacrifices are not meant for people to eat, but only if the meaning is reached. In terms of taste, it is much worse than the dim sum sold in the market.

Steward Yu's saliva was drooling.

Erdi Niang, this is going to make ghosts cry...

If it wasn't for the fact that these were to be used to worship the ancestors first, he would have wanted to taste them first.

He rubbed the corner of his mouth to make sure there was no saliva left, then he collected himself and said to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou: "You two have worked hard, I will arrange someone to pick it up."

"Guan Yu." Su Ergou called to stop him.

Steward Yu asked softly, "Brother Su, what's the matter?"

Su Ergou felt that this big family was very easy to get along with, and everyone he dealt with was very polite, unlike the former Qi family and Wang family, each with their nostrils turned upside down.

Su Ergou said: "Do you sell your mountain spring water? Can I buy two barrels back?"

Steward Yu made the child's serious face amused: "Not for sale."

"Ah..." Su Ergou was disappointed.

"However." Steward Yu held back his smile, and said to Su Ergou, "The mountain spring water can be given to those who are destined. Brother Su can bring back as much as he wants, so just pretend."

Su Ergou scratched his head: "That's so embarrassing..."

After thinking for a while, he took out an oiled paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Steward Yu, "Ergoubing, here it is for you."

--

Today is a sacrificial offering, and it is enough to finish it all at once. There is no need to have one meal at noon and another meal at night like a banquet.

"Sister, are we finished?" Su Ergou asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The sacrifices are finished, and the dim sum for the banquet in the next two days must be made first for others to try and choose."

"Oh."

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to catch up on a chair? I don't need your help here."

It's just a sample, the quantity is not large, she can do it herself.

"I'm not sleepy." Su Ergou shook his head, went to the stool and lay down, and the trip took an hour.

The ancestor worship over there has been finished.

Su Ergou rubbed his eyes: "Sister, why are you still making dim sum?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "There is still a little fermented dough left, it would be a waste if you don't make it, are you hungry?"

"Not very hungry." Su Ergou sat up, "I'll go get some mountain spring water!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked around, but she couldn't see shopkeeper Sun, so there was no need to guess, she must be looking for another opportunity to solicit business.

Su Ergou picked up the shoulder pole, hung up two empty buckets, and headed towards the mountain spring!

He came to the edge of the spring water, first drank happily, and then took out the bucket to pick it up.

The mountain spring water flows slowly, and it takes a long time to fill a bucket.

While waiting, he squatted on the ground and drew circles.

"Hey, who is it! Come here!"

Not far away, a man spoke.

"What about you!"

Su Ergou raised his head and looked at him blankly.

"Yes, it's you! Come here!" The man waved at Su Ergou.

The man was in his early twenties, dressed like a servant of a rich family.

Su Ergou glanced at the bucket, which was less than half filled, got up and walked over: "Why?"

The boy put down the cart in his hand and wiped the sweat from his brow: "The cart seems to be broken, it can't be pushed anymore, please give me a hand."

"Is it broken? Let it go." Su Ergou came to the cart, grasped it with both hands, and gently lifted and sent it, "Isn't this good?"

The boy was taken aback.

But when it was the boy's turn to push it, the boy couldn't do it anymore. He either couldn't push it, or overturned the cart. Fortunately, the upper cage was tied with a rope, otherwise it would have been scattered all over the ground.

"You, you push!" The boy said angrily.

"Then you wait." Su Ergou ran to the mountain spring, took away the full bucket, and put an empty bucket to continue picking.

Seeing him fetching mountain spring water, the servant thought he was a servant guarding the Su family's ancestral hall. When Su Ergou pushed the cart into the back door of the courtyard, the servant asked him to help unload the goods together.

Su Ergou helped him unload without saying anything.

Su Ergou had just turned fourteen, but his strength was much stronger than that of the boy, so he lifted several large and heavy boxes down with ease.

"You boy, you can." The boy patted him on the shoulder in admiration, "What's your name?"

"Su Ergou."

"Having a child?" the servant asked.

"What?" Su Ergou didn't understand.

Many domestic slaves will be given the surname of the master, and this kind of servant has a higher status than the servant bought from outside.

The boy couldn't handle him at will anymore, and was about to let him go.

Suddenly, a handsome young man walked over with his head held high.

He looked about the same age as Su Ergou, dressed luxuriously, with the arrogance of an aristocratic son in his brows.

The little servant hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Young master!"

Seeing that Su Ergou on the side didn't move, he tugged Su Ergou calmly.

Su Ergou: "Why?"

The little servant took a deep breath, this silly boy, the young master is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?

The young man didn't pay any attention to the two servants, he turned his head and said to the long follower behind him, "Bring my horse, I want to go hunting in the mountains!"

Chang Sui looked embarrassed: "Little Grandpa, this...isn't that good? It's very dangerous in the mountains."

The young man snorted coldly: "You stay here for fear of danger! I'll find someone else!"

The long follower said: "Little Grandpa!"

The boy glanced lightly, raised his chin, and said frivolously: "Whoever wants to go hunting with me, ten taels per person!"

The servant immediately said: "Young master! I am willing to go with you!"

The young man looked at him, and then at Su Ergou beside him: "What about you? You're not going? Are you afraid of danger?"

Naturally, Su Ergou was not afraid of danger, but he was fetching water.

However, the water can be fetched later, and the mountain spring can't run away anyway.

"Can I go?" Su Ergou asked.

My sister said, he can't run around, he has to get the owner's permission, this young man should be considered the owner of this place, right?

The young man said lightly, "Just don't be afraid."

Su Ergou said: "I'm not afraid!"

The boy threw the whip to Su Ergou: "Lead the horse."

Su Ergou: "I won't."

The little servant hurriedly brought over the whip, and smiled brightly: "I will, I will lead the horse for you!"

The boy snorted coldly, stepped on the stirrup, and got on the horse neatly.
