171 Questioning

Why is the young master here?

Bai Fan was very surprised, shouldn't it, didn't the young master go back to the Bai family, and the Fang family also left, come here at this time, no matter how you think about it, is there something else hidden?

The young master that Bai Fan said in his mouth was Bai Shi'an.

Bai Shi'an was getting down from the carriage, Bai Fan didn't go over immediately, he stood in place, and unexpectedly, Bai Shi'an also looked up at him.

Although Bai Shi'an didn't speak, Bai Fan understood what the young master meant, it was not appropriate to go over now, he would go to the young master later.

Gao Ping glanced at Bai Fan strangely: Why did you stop?

Bai Fan came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, let's go." After saying this, he left the road with Gao Ping and walked towards Xiao Zhukuai's house.

Xiao Zhukuai was at home, it turned out that the yamen gave him half a day off to rest at home, and he was still going out of the town before dark to go to those villages to guard, and the manpower was not enough, so the vacation could only come in turns.

Xiao Zhukuai was a little surprised when he saw Bai Fan: Are you ......

Gao Ping took a step forward and said, "I was sent by the Su family to deliver something."

Xiao Zhu didn't think about it for a while, he frowned slightly: Su family?

Bai Fan said: I live next door to Zhang Zhutou.

Xiao Zhu quickly realized in a trance: It turned out to be their family. After he finished speaking, he smiled again, and said, I have been shouting two girls and two girls before, I forgot my surname, by the way, you said that you came to send something, this is good, what to send?

Bai Fan lowered his voice and said: It's vinegar.

Xiao Zhu's eyes widened sharply, his eyes involuntarily fell on Bai Fan and Gao Ping's back basket, he knew vinegar, the yamen was burning, Zhang Zhutou also told Xiao Zhukuai to let him stay in the yamen in the afternoon, and he didn't go anywhere, so as to eliminate the sickness on his body, he was about to go, but ah, just as he was about to go out, he met Bai Fan and the two.

Xiao Yu quickly brought Bai Fan Gaoping into the house, and then closed the courtyard door, his tone was a little hurried: Why did you send this over, didn't you say that it was not enough?

Bai Fan said: Miss Su wants to ask Xiao Zhu about something.

Xiao Zhu quickly asked: What's the matter? Is it a troublesome thing? Xiao Zhuai looked at the basket while thinking about it, he knew how pretty this vinegar was, and the people in the yamen knew that there was a long queue outside the Su family, and they were all about to reach West Street, and there were still people rushing to line up.

However, this vinegar has never been heard of before, and I don't know where it came from, and no one knows how to make it.

It's very rare.

But ah, the rarer the things, the more everyone rushes to get them.

Xiao Zhu was about to finish thinking about it, and looked at Bai Fan's body.

Bai Fandao: It's just a trivial matter, isn't one of the villages you are responsible for is Sujia Village, Miss Su is a person from Sujia Village, and her elders are still in the village, she just wants to ask if you know the situation of the old Su family?

I see.

Xiao Zhu was a little relieved, and only listened to him: There are a few people who live in Erniu's house, such as Erniu's grandparents, and there is also a person named Su Daniu, who is said to be Erniu's uncle, he is fine, I thought, since Erniu's relatives are the oldest among the people who are not sick in the village, the affairs of Sujia Village will be managed by him for the time being.

When Bai Fan and Gao Ping heard this, the big stone in their hearts was relieved, there was news, a good thing.

Xiao Zhu paused quickly, and said: Old man Su and Mrs. Su were sick for a while, but somehow, they gradually got better, the strange thing is that they got better quickly, but there are very few other people in Sujia Village who are sick, and some people in Sujia Village who are not sick also want to send his family to ...... Erniu's house, they think it must be because the house is far away from the village, so there are many people living near Erniu's house now.

Bai Fan was a little surprised: Isn't that Miss Su's own yard, but I remember that she said that she separated from the elders, and the elders just lived in it and didn't say hello, this ......

Moved in without saying anything? Xiao Zhu looked at Bai Fan and said, No, then Su Da Niu can say that he has a good relationship with Erniu's family, and said that the two of them are like a family, and it doesn't matter if there are people next to the yard, they are building a house now, and many people in the village have gone over there.

Old Man Su's family not only lived in Su Yu's house, but Uncle Su also agreed that the villagers would build a house near Su Yu's house.

Gao Ping interjected on the side: But Xiaobao said that Uncle Su has a poor relationship with his family, and his aunt always bullies her mother, and it seems that she did a 'particularly annoying' thing last time, and the relationship between the two families is completely broken. Xiaobao also said that his eldest sister and second sister hated that family very much, how could they let them live in it and let them call the shots?

Xiao Zhutou felt a little headache: I don't know about this, but Zhang Zhutou and they did agree to move the people who are not sick to live on the side of the mountain, so that they can be separated from the patients.

Bai Fandao: If that's the case, how can those people take care of the sick?

Xiao Zhu said quickly: Now there are not enough people, so we can only do this, and we have few people to send, so naturally we can't take care of everything.

Bai Fan Dao: In this way, they are fine, we know. After he finished speaking, he put the basket in, took out the vinegar inside, handed it to Xiao Zhu, and said quickly: Thank you for the news.

Xiao Zhu quickly postponed: How embarrassing is this.

Bai Fan smiled and stuffed vinegar into Xiao Zhukuai's hand, and said: Since I inquired about the news from you, I naturally have to say something, so you can take it, maybe I will have to trouble you in the future.

After Bai Fan finished speaking, he said: We still have something to do, it's time to go, say goodbye. Bai Fan took Gao Ping away, and they didn't take out the vinegar in Gao Ping's basket, they seemed to have forgotten.

After leaving Xiao's house, they walked for a long time, and Gao Ping suddenly said: Xiaobao said that they have a bad relationship with those relatives, and now those are occupying Xiaobao's house?

Bai Fan sighed and said: It's useless to talk about this now, Xiaobao and his family won't go back now, these things have to wait for the plague to pass.

Gao Ping remembered the occupation of the house in his mind, and he said: Those people are really shameless.

Bai Fan didn't speak, and walked for a while, but Bai Fan said to Gao Ping: Half of the firewood is used at home, I'll look to see if there is anyone who sells firewood, you go back first.

Gao Ping nodded, and the two parted here.

Buying firewood was just an excuse, Bai Fan went to find Bai Shi'an, he knew very well how to find his young master, and it didn't take long for him to appear in the Fang family's old mansion, and Bai Shi'an was also in the old mansion.

Bai Shi'an was not surprised at all when he saw Bai Fan, he sat on the chair and looked at Bai Fan and said: Something?

Bai Fandao: There is indeed something.

Bai Shi'an asked: What's the matter?

Bai Fan bowed his head and said, "Young Master, are you here this time for vinegar?"

Bai Shi'an shook his head and said: It's not for this matter, it's for another thing, it was the elders who told me to wait for someone here.

After Bai Shi'an finished speaking, he frowned, he looked at Bai Fan and said: Didn't you let you stay in the Su family, why did you find it?

Lord Bai said about making vinegar, and then said the effect of vinegar, Bai Shi'an listened to it more and more surprised, and finally, Bai Fan said: Young master, now that the plague is rampant in the south, I think this is our opportunity, there is a shortage of medicine in the south, if our vinegar is really useful, it is better to transport some to the past and try to see if it can be smelted.

After Bai Fan finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said: The yamen in the county is also burning vinegar, and the Su family has never stopped, and now no one is sick, there is a long queue outside the door of the Su family, all of them buy vinegar, and the reputation of vinegar has spread to other counties, I heard that there are still people from other counties who come all the way to buy vinegar, but this vinegar is now in small quantities, and it can't be sold at all.

Bai Shi'an stood up violently: Is this true?

Bai Fan said: Seriously! The young master can send someone to inquire, and besides, I already know the method of vinegar, young master, why don't we start making it, the Bai family is not a small family like the Su family, the production method of this vinegar is not difficult, as long as there is silver, it can be produced in large quantities.

Bai Shi'an squinted his eyes and asked him: Have you learned everything?

Bai Fan nodded and said: Yes, the new vinegar will come out tomorrow, and it depends on tomorrow whether it will be successful or not, but Miss Su said that the possibility of success is very great.

Bai Shi'an whispered: Tomorrow?

Bai Fan nodded lightly.

Bai Shi'an said again: Okay, then that's it, you wait for tomorrow's results to come out, and then we will discuss how to act. He said in his heart, he will send someone to inquire about the news of the vinegar here, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, this vinegar has become such a famous thing, if this is the case, he will be too worthwhile.

If it can smelt the plague, then the value of this thing will be high.

Bai Fan and Bai Shi'an said something again, and then left, of course, he didn't forget to look for firewood on the street, but unfortunately, the town gate is very strict, and it is not easy for firewood sellers to come in.

Bai Fan returned empty-handed.

Gao Ping returned home early, Xiao Zhu said that everything he had heard and what they heard was told to Su Yu's family, Su Daniu was very angry: Uncle and their family are really shameless, not to mention occupying our house, and letting people build a shed next to the house to live, is that his house, they all move around without asking, is there such a thing?

Xiaobao also clenched his fists angrily and said: Will they touch the things in our house?

The things in the Su family's house had long been thrown into the firewood room.

Lord Su said with a calm face: We were worried about their safety before, but if we knew this, they might as well ......

Su A-Niang lowered her voice and warned her: This matter can't be talked about.

Gao Le couldn't help but say: Auntie, but they are too much, and they move things without saying a word.

Xiaobao nodded: Yes, they think it's their thing.

Su Yu asked Gao Ping: Didn't you tell Xiao Zhukuai to let them get out of there?

Gao Ping whispered: I didn't say it, Xiao Zhu said that Sujia Village was temporarily ...... Uncle Su took care of it, saying that he was the oldest among the people who were not sick and had qualifications.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly, is there such a thing?

Su Daniu was still counting on going home to live next year, this house was occupied by people, she was very angry, she stood up and said: Erniu, why don't we go back and drive them out.

Su Yu shook his head and said: No.

Su Daniu asked directly: Why not, it's our thing. After she finished speaking, she complained: They didn't think about us in the past, and they drilled into our house when there was something, and they couldn't get used to it.

Su Yu sighed and said, "Eldest sister, didn't I say it, we can't go out of town now."

Su Dayu hurriedly said: Why can't you go out, then no one comes in every day, what's wrong with us going out, can't you get in?

Su Yu stared at Guan Dayu and said: Sujia Village is a seriously ill area, if you let the gatekeeper know that you are coming back from Sujia Village, do you think they will let us in? It's not something that money can solve.

Su Yu stood up and sat Su Daniu back: Our house is just an old house, not a new house, just live in it, then it will leak when it rains, think about it, if it snows, can they stand it?

Said that she wanted snow, Su Daniu couldn't help but shudder, it would snow every day in winter, it kept falling, it was cold to death, when there was no separation before, she also had to help Su A-Niang wash the laundry and dishes, the hot water had to be burned with firewood, where was Mrs. Su's willingness, she usually washed directly with well water, and it was so cold that she died.

Su A-Niang looked up at the sky outside the house, and she said softly: I'm afraid it will be cold in a few days, they can live if they want, and we won't lose a piece of meat.

Su Yu asked Su A-Niang: Is the sky going to change?

Su A-Niang nodded and said: Yes, it's almost the end of December, the first snow has fallen at this time in previous years, and this year is a little late, but I think that this year's winter is late, and next year's spring will definitely be late, I don't know the crops...... Alas, forget it, our family doesn't have any land, so I don't want to do that.

As soon as they finished speaking, Bai Fan came back.

Su Daniu looked at him and only carried a basket, and couldn't help asking: Is there a firewood seller outside?

Bai Fan shook his head and said: No, the town gate is tightly guarded, they can't get in, I asked around, and they all said that they haven't seen anyone selling firewood in the past few days, and the price of charcoal in the town has increased.

Su Yu's face sank, there was no firewood, if it went on like this, how could he survive this winter?
