The whole village is waiting to see Su Fatya's joke.

One day passed, however, and the pony cub survived.

Two days passed, and the pony cub was not dead.

Three days passed, and the pony was up!

The news came from Niudan's mouth. As the little friend of the three, Niudan got a chance to feed the pony cub after being bullied and cried again.

"It stood up after eating!"

Some folks didn't believe Niudan's words, so they went to Xiaosu's house to see it in person.

It turns out that the pony cub is more than able to stand? Already able to walk around!

Although he was walking tremblingly, he looked much more energetic than the previous few days!

At least he is no longer half-dead!

Li Zheng exclaimed: "Fatty is really... supported."

Su Fatya once again slapped some folks in the face with strength, and the Zhou family, who was gloating and gossiping everywhere, didn't dare to say a word.

In the blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Su Xiaoxiao's business will officially open tomorrow.

But because she spent all her savings buying horses and donkeys, Su Xiaoxiao is so poor that she can't even afford food.

The ingredients for making pancakes at home can last for two days——

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head violently!

Hey, what kind of horse should I buy?

"Big girl, are you there?"

Father Su's voice came from outside the door.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the account book and regained her composure: "Yes, come in, Dad."

Papa Su entered the house and gave her a brand new purse without any extra words.

"Father, what are you doing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"I don't have anything to spend, so take it." Father Su said.

The silver in it totaled five taels, and it was given to Papa Su by Su Xiaoxiao.

Father Su searched very hard, and didn't spend a dime.

No, it took ten copper coins to buy a bunch of candied haws for San Xiaozhi.

Su Xiaoxiao pinched the purse in her hand, and felt a warm feeling in her heart, making her nose a little sour: "Father..."

Father Su waved his hand: "Okay, I'm going to bed, and you go to bed early too."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Father Su's back and said seriously: "Father, I will earn a lot of money back! Turn your five taels into five hundred taels! Five thousand taels!"

Papa Su is funny.

It's still five thousand taels, it's not bad to be undefeated.

But who let this be his own daughter? Prodigals also have to be pampered!

At night, Su Yuniang's younger brother came again.

He sneakily handed Su Xiaoxiao a purse, looked around, and said in a low voice: "My eldest sister said, this is not a consultation fee, it is borrowed from you, you have to pay it back!"

Su Xiaoxiao opened her purse, and it turned out to be two ingots of five taels of silver.

Su Yuniang is really a little rich woman!

...

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao got up early, needless to say, Xiao Wu and Liu Ping also came over before dawn.

Xiao Wu is mainly responsible for separating the yolk and egg white of salted duck eggs today.

After pickling, the salted egg white is still a fluid liquid, while the egg yolk has solidified, so it is not troublesome to separate.

Simply knock a small hole in the shell and pour out the egg white.

In order to improve efficiency, Su Xiaoxiao made a simple shelf and evenly marked the grids. Each time, she only needs to knock out a small hole in the eggshell and place it upside down on each grid, so that the egg white can flow down smoothly and drip into the in the jar below.

Naturally, the filtered salted egg whites cannot be wasted, and can be used for bacon, cooking, porridge, etc.

What Jinji asked for was raw salted egg yolk, which saved Su Xiaoxiao a process.

Su Xiaoxiao also made a grid for salted egg yolks, and covered the bottom with bamboo leaves.

These grids were designed by Su Xiaoxiao and made by Liu Ping, and every detail is just right.

I have to say that Liu Ping's craftsmanship is really ingenious.

"Sister, aren't you doing dim sum business today?" Su Ergou asked while sorting egg yolks with a spoon.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I won't do it today."

"Oh." Su Ergou smacked his lips, a little disappointed.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I'm lying to you, today I won't be in the stewed meat business, but the dim sum business will open, hurry up and get the chestnuts!"

Su Ergou's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

It was quite busy early in the morning.

Su Xiaoxiao licked the mung bean paste and said, "Ergou, the sugar is gone, go scoop some up for me."

A slender hand like jade picked up the empty sugar bowl on the stove, opened the sugar jar next to the cupboard, scooped up a large bowl and put it back on the stove.

Su Xiaoxiao was too busy to look up: "There is still water, add a ladle and a half to the pot."

The hand as delicate as a jade carving scooped up the ladle again, and lightly poured it into the big iron pot twice.

"return……"

Before she finished her third order, that hand opened the cupboard again, and took out the waken dough inside.

Su Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong now.

Su Ergou didn't work so leisurely, and he wasn't careless, but he was indeed swishing!

Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, slowed down her pounding mung bean paste, coughed lightly, and said, "I still need to drink water, I'm thirsty."

That hand paused, and poured a bowl of warm water for her.

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her face: "I don't have hands."

That hand paused twice, three times, and finally fed the water to Su Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head, and took a sip happily: "It's so sweet!"

Still want to drink!

"Brother-in-law, you are here! Huh? You are feeding water to my sister!"

A certain person shook his hand and gulped Su Xiaoxiao a big gulp!

Su Xiaoxiao choked so much that she didn't say anything, and was splashed all over her face.

She blew up.

"Su, two, dog!"

...

Su Xiaoxiao went to change her clothes with a dark face.

Su Ergou said to Wei Ting: "Why is my sister so angry? You were the one who accidentally splashed her, right?"

Then Wei Ting glanced at him and left without saying a word.

...

At dawn, all the snacks and salted egg yolks were loaded onto the donkey cart.

The donkey was bought five days ago, and the small trolley that was loaded at the back was made by Liu Ping in a hurry, and Su Ergou also put in a lot of effort.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao talked with Liu Ping and Xiao Wu about their salaries in the kitchen.

Originally, she gave Xiao Wu twenty Wen a day, but now that the workload has increased and the working hours have become longer, Su Xiaoxiao mentioned two thousand Wen a month, which is two taels of silver.

Liu Ping's monthly money is also two taels.

At first twenty coppers were given, and Xiao Wu felt that it was too much, but now it has been increased to two taels——

Liu Ping was also stunned.

The daughter-in-law told him that Da Ya would not treat them badly, but he never thought that he could get so much!

He worked so hard in the town, eating steamed buns with rice bran and sour water, he only earned one tael a month at most.

Although there is a lot of work with Da Ya, he has something to drink when he is thirsty, food when he is hungry, and rest when he is tired. Not only will Da Ya not scold him, but he will not deduct his wages either.

He said sternly: "Big girl, half a tael is enough for you! I feel sorry for giving too much! You have helped our family so much, so you can't ask for so much!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Those who can do more work, brother Liu don't have to feel sorry."

Hiring Liu Ping is equivalent to hiring a courier boy and a carpenter, and the wages of two taels of silver are not high.

She hasn't said the bonus yet.

She smiled slightly and said, "Brother Liu, you and Miss Wu should work hard, and I won't treat you badly."

Of course Liu Ping believed it!

After getting along for a while, he finally figured out that Da Ya is a woman, but her skills and mind are not even comparable to many men!

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Let's go to the market first."

On the first day, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to show Liu Ping the way, and meet Luo Dazhuang and Shen Chuan. From now on, Liu Ping would go to the market and the academy. She and Su Ergou concentrated on going to the gate of Jinji Set up a stall.

--

After Su Xiaoxiao and his party set off, Wei Ting also went out on crutches.

It was early in the day and there were not many people in the village, so no one noticed him.

He tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible, and walked towards the official road quietly.

...

Luo Dazhuang was waiting at the market early.

His parents hoped that he would rest at home for a few more days, and then come out to set up a stall when there were more people.

But who made him agree to that little village girl?

During the Chinese New Year, the matchmaker came to tell him a few girls. He was not very satisfied, and the face of the little village girl always flashed in his mind.

He has been here for an hour, but there is no sign of the little village girl.

The little village girl probably forgot the promise she had made with him today, but fortunately he left the little village girl with the best plum blossom meat.

"Big strong!"

Su Xiaoxiao came to the stall, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and asked, "Why are you in a daze? A customer is looking for you to buy meat!"

Luo Dazhuang came back to his senses, and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and the aunt who had been waiting for a long time, "You want two catties of ribs right? I'm just... oh! Who are you!"

He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the little girl he glanced over just now, she was different from before!

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao again!

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "Da Zhuang?"

Luo Dazhuang felt that he saw a fairy.

I haven't seen her for a month, and Su Xiaoxiao has changed a lot. Although she hasn't lost too much weight overall, the lines of her face have emerged, making her facial features concentrated and three-dimensional.

Her skin has changed from rough yellow skin to smooth and delicate girlish skin, which is a whitening and beauty visible to the naked eye.

Luo Dazhuang covered his heart: Huh, the heart beats so fast!

"Do you want to sell the meat? If not, I'll go!" The aunt got impatient with the wait.

"It's for sale, it's for sale, two catties, right?" Su Xiaoxiao picked up the bone-chopping knife on the chopping board, chopped up two catties of spare ribs, and handed them to the aunt in a skillful bunch with zong leaves.

"Business opened, count your thirty cents!"

The aunt paid the money with satisfaction, and left with the ribs in her hands.

Luo Dazhuang's heart was pounding!

The way she just chopped the ribs is full of the posture of a butcher's lady!

Su Ergou said: "Sister, I want to eat ribs tonight!"

"Okay, five catties." Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head to pick out her pocket.

"No money, I'll give it to you!" Luo Dazhuang said arrogantly, and began to chop the ribs with a knife.

Su Ergou said again: "Brother-in-law also likes to eat!"

Luo Dazhuang: "One hundred Wen!"
