After reading the corpse, Chang Zhixian brought out the case file again, and he began to look at it carefully.

Zhang Zhutou retreated, and he took people directly to the Charity Hall, because he wanted to bring the four children to the Yamen for protection, the town was not peaceful, even if the Charity Hall was guarded, it was not as safe as the Yamen.

When Zhang Zhutou went to the charity hall, Su Yu was not there, it turned out that when he was walking on the road, he was seen by Fang Ce sitting in the carriage, he was just thinking about going to Sujia Village, and discussing the wine and vinegar with Su Yu, at this time, it was good to see Su Yu, so he stopped the carriage and called Su Yu up.

Su Yu was happy in her heart: Have you thought about it?

Fang Ce nodded, and said lightly: This town is too small, and wine is not easy to implement, but the vinegar thing is feasible.

There are also powerful families in this town, but there are not many, the positioning of this high-end wine is too high, I am afraid it is not easy to implement here, if it is to sell ordinary wine directly, then once it starts to sell, I am afraid it will be difficult to improve this positioning.

If those powerful families heard that they were things that ordinary people drank, they would definitely not be willing to pay a high price to buy them.

The market is not absent, but it is not such a small place, and if this thing wants to sell its reputation, it is best to make a name for itself from the rich land south of the Yangtze River or the capital.

It's not that Fang Ce denies this matter, the place of buying and selling has to come step by step, and there is no urgency.

Su Yu heard Fang Ce say this, thoughtful.

Halfway, she looked up at Fang Ce and asked: In other words, you do the vinegar business, so what is your plan......

Fang Ce smiled: Let's cooperate, you come up with a prescription, the materials and future sales will be handed over to our Fang family, you can teach our master to do it in the first month, and when the master of the Fang family learns it, you don't have to care anymore, and in the future, half of the net income from this vinegar business will be given to you, how about it?

Su Yu didn't answer immediately, she frowned slightly, and only after half a sound did she say: Half a layer is too little.

Fang Ce said calmly: It's a lot, I'm going to cooperate with the Bai family in this business.

Su Yu was puzzled: Cooperate with the Bai family, why? I remember that your family is not only a pharmacy, but also a restaurant, this business should be done, do you need to cooperate with other companies?

Fang Ce said: The Bai family is my grandfather's family, they have restaurants and inns all over the country, just right, wait for the vinegar to be ready, there are enough, let's pick an auspicious day for the emperor to sell together all over the country and make a reputation.

Su Yu was shocked, she really didn't expect Fang Ce's family to be so rich! Moreover, Fang Ce is so ambitious, like her, because of the short time, she didn't think about the affairs of the whole country at all. Is it because I've been in the countryside for a long time that my horizons have become smaller?

It's a really bad thing.

Fang Ce smiled slightly: Do you still think that half of it is less?

Su Yu looked at him complicatedly: Why? If it is sold all over the country, as long as the reputation of this vinegar is spread and it can be sold normally, then Su Yu will definitely be a little rich woman in the near future.

Fang Ce smiled, looked at her calmly, and said, "Of course there are requirements.

You said.

That's right, this vinegar was invented by you, and the Bai family means that I hope to use the surname of the Bai family to name this vinegar, and this vinegar will be something unique to the Bai family in the future, do you agree? If you agree, it will become half of your profit, and if you think it can't be done, you have to negotiate again. Fang Ce said slowly.

The surname of the Bai family?

Isn't that white vinegar!

Su Yu really felt that there was no problem, this white vinegar sounded quite accustomed, it was impossible to call it Su vinegar, at this time Su Yu's mood was a little delicate.

Fang Ce saw that Su Yu didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she didn't agree, he sighed softly, the matter of naming is extremely important, this is a major event for a hundred generations, how could this girl of the Su family agree like this.

Su Yu looked up at him: If I share half of the profits, then I should not be counted as selling vinegar by myself in the future.

As soon as Fang Ce heard this, he knew that Su Yu was a little moved, and he said: "This is natural, what you get out, you naturally have the right to sell."

Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to the naming, but I have to sign a contract to do this, and I don't recognize the verbal contract."

Of course. Fang Ce naturally knew.

Su Yu said: After signing the contract, I will give you the recipe.

Fang Cedao: Okay.

He smiled again and said: You promised really happily, aren't you afraid that when we take the prescription and destroy the contract, you won't get anything?

Su Yu's eyes flashed slightly: Isn't there still an official office, and this contract will have to be filed with the yamen at that time.

Fang Ce laughed lightly: You are still naïve, have you ever heard a saying, money can make ghosts grind.

Su Yu raised her eyebrows: Will you do this? If Fang Ce was really like that, she wouldn't have taken out Fang Zi at all, she still had this kind of eyesight.

Fang Ce said: Naturally not, don't worry, our Fang family and the Bai family still have a reputation.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled.

Fang Ce said: Okay, this matter is settled, it will take at least twenty days for the Bai family to come from other places, and when they come, after we draw up the contract, I will send someone to Sujia Village to pick you up.

Su Yu asked: By the way, in addition to seasoning, vinegar can also be appetizing, it can also protect the liver and kidneys, and it has various effects, which you need to ponder slowly. By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you, there is another kind of vinegar that is colorless like liquor, and that is the real white vinegar.

When Fang Ce heard this, he sat up straight all of a sudden, and his tone was a little excited: Really?

Su Yu said: It's too early to boast about Haikou, I will try to do it when the time comes, if it succeeds, then the Bai family will definitely see the results before they come.

Fang Ce's eyes became brighter and brighter, what he thought was that if this was the case, then it would be necessary to name black vinegar with the surname Bai, white vinegar refers to colorless vinegar, and when the time comes, white vinegar will be used as a high-grade condiment, and the price will be increased a little, so that the identity of white vinegar can be improved, which is the best for the Bai family.

Su Yu suddenly remembered that Wang Zhuai also said that she should go to the charity hall to coax those little guys, I am afraid it will be too late now, Su Yu hurriedly stood up and said: I still have something to do, this matter is decided for the time being.

Fang Ce stood up to see her off, and at the same time promised: It is estimated that the matter of sharing cannot be changed, but if you have any other requirements, such as shops and fields, you can negotiate.

Su Yu looked at him in surprise.

Fang Ce coughed lightly and said: Even if we draw up a contract, it is impossible to sell that vinegar within half a year, and it will take a long time, so we can give you some compensation.

When Su Yu heard this, his heart was relieved, and he was not polite: Well, I won't be polite when the time comes.

Fang Ce said: This is natural, there is one more thing, if you have any good things in the future, remember to call me.

Su Yudao: That's no problem.

After Su Yu finished speaking, she looked at Fang Ce again, and she was puzzled: Fang Shen seems to have said that you went to Beijing to take the exam, aren't you a scholar, how did you start a business? Shinong industry and commerce, business can be ranked last, and it is a shame for a scholar to do business.

Fang Ce smiled and said: It is the Bai family who does business, and I, like you, am also a shareholder, which is not a business.

Cunning guys.

Su Yu asked one more question: What was the last time you went to Beijing to take the exam......

Fang Ce said: In the autumn, the test is naturally a lift. Chun Yu is the follow-up scholar of the examination.

Su Yu asked curiously: Have you been admitted?

Well.

It should be a great joy to be admitted to the people, why didn't I hear the people of the Fang family mention it, if the town knew that there was a lifter, the family would be extremely happy, I'm afraid I would have to see the county, and there would be a reward or something.

Su Yu muttered to herself: Why didn't Fang Shen say that you were admitted? They don't look happy, strange.

Fang Ce said lightly: They didn't ask.

Su Yu didn't understand what she meant by this at first, but then she understood, she stared at Fang Ce and said: Could it be that you have been keeping a straight face, everyone thinks that you didn't pass the exam, and then don't dare to ask, so they think you are off the list, right?

Fang Ce glanced at her.

Su Yu covered his mouth and said: Impossible, you don't have a scholar, it's impossible for a scholar not to say it, there should be a name on the emperor's list, how can you not know it, strange!

Fang Ce said coldly: It's not a Jinshi, what is there to say.

Su Yu suddenly exclaimed: It's next year's spring entrance examination, what are you doing when you don't come back from the capital?

Fang Ce's eyes were slightly cold: If you don't take the exam next year, you will take the exam again in three years, if you pass the exam, you will have to get married, I want to see if the sixteen-year-old Miss Han family can wait for three years.

Su Yu felt as if she had heard something terrible.

She quickly shut up, waved her hand at Fang Ce, and then ran away quickly, and soon, she arrived at the charity hall, but at this time, Zhang Zhutou had already taken the four children away, where was there still anyone.

Su Yu was relieved to see that it was empty, there was no need to coax the child, how good.

Wang Zhuhai also dragged the shopkeeper to bring her a sentence: The child was sent to the yamen, and the Chang family will send someone to take care of it, so you don't have to go over, so you don't have to go over, so you don't have to go there, so you don't have to go there, so you don't have to go there.

Su Yu nodded, indicating that she understood. However, she did not leave immediately, because she remembered that there were still four wounded in the family (three had already left), so she said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle, do you have any medicine for sword wounds?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: Yes, but who are you for?

Su Yu said: My friend is a dart master, when he was walking a dart, he met a bandit and was injured, this must not use some good medicine, he did not say that there is a pharmacist in the dart bureau, alas, it is estimated that we are afraid of spending money.

The shopkeeper smiled: That's right, you wait, we have the medicine, do you want to apply it externally or internally?

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Let's have a little bit."

Okay. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to grab the medicine, but after a while, he grabbed the medicine, four packets of herbs, which were to be boiled and drunk, and two bottles of external application.

How much silver?

Just give two taels.

Su Yu silently took out two taels of silver, she felt that it was so expensive.

The shopkeeper seemed to see that she was distressed about the silver, and hurriedly said: This is a good medicine, and it will recover quickly.

Su Yu handed over the silver, took the medicine, and then walked out of the shop, because she spent two taels of silver at once, and her mood was not very good.

She's fine anyway, so let's go home and have a look.

She was walking on the street with the medicine, walking and walking, when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, Su Yu was startled, and she turned her head to look.

This person, this person is a little familiar!

The man said again and again: I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, I thought you were the little girl of the Su family, I'm really embarrassed, this back looks really like.

Su Yu remembered that this was Zhuang Bu's kind partner.

Su Yu touched his face, and then he realized that he had added black charcoal to his face when he went to Buzhuang last time, but now he didn't paint it, and his face was white, so the guy from Buzhuang didn't recognize it.

The guy from Nabuzhuang thought he had recognized the wrong person, apologized, and left with a sigh.

Su Yu looked at him a little unbearable, she remembered that this Buzhuang Mansion had looked for her several times, and they were sincere, and they couldn't release other pigeons this time.

Wait, wait. Su Yu shouted and chased after him.

There are a lot of people on this street, and the sound is mixed, and the partner of the cloth village is a little far away from Su Yu, so he didn't hear Su Yu's voice at all, he kept walking and walking, and only stopped when he reached the cloth village, Su Yu also followed the cloth village, and she ran over.

Su Yu patted Buzhuang's arm and said, "Little brother, are you looking for me?"

Su Yu, the partner of the cloth village, slapped it violently, and was also startled, he turned his head and saw that it was Su Yu, he was surprised and puzzled, wasn't this the girl he had just confessed, why did he still find it?

Su Yu smiled at him: I am the little girl of the Su family, last time my brother was stopped at the entrance of the village, you also went to my house to help report the news, don't you remember?

When the Buzhuang guy heard this, he was even more surprised: It's really you?!

After he finished speaking, his eyes widened and said: Impossible, aren't you black, how can you become white?

Su Yu lied calmly: Wash it with rice washing water, and it will be white if you wash it a few more times.

The Buzhuang guy stared at Lord Su's face for a long time, and then muttered: Rice washing water still has this function? If that's the case, I'll ask my mother-in-law to wash her face with the rice water every day. The black skin can turn white after washing, and his daughter-in-law's yellow skin can definitely turn white.

The Buzhuang guy thought about it and grinned.

Su Yu asked the smirking guy: Little brother, your brother said that you have looked for me a few times, what is the matter?

The guy came back to his senses, he patted his head and said: By the way, it's my shopkeeper who is looking for you, you come in with me, my shopkeeper said that he has something to talk to you! Originally, he wanted me to go to Sujia Village to find you, but recently, the business of this cloth village is so good that I can't spare time at all.

The partner led Su Yu into the cloth village, and as soon as the guy went in and saw that the shopkeeper was not there, he knew that the shopkeeper must be in the backyard warehouse, and he hurriedly said to Su Yu: You are waiting here, I will call the shopkeeper to come over.

Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

After the guy finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the backyard.

Su Yu was fine, she walked around the cloth village, she saw that there were several brightly colored fish relatives hung in the most conspicuous place, and when she got closer, she could smell the fragrance of flowers, and different styles of clothes had different aromas. There is also the cloth, some are unscented, some are light incense, some are strong incense, the shopkeeper of this cloth village is quite good, she just said that, and made so many fragrances.

Little Miss Su, you are here! The shopkeeper had not yet come out, but the voice had arrived first.

Su Yu smiled: The shopkeeper is good.

The shopkeeper's eyes were smiling: Okay, it's good, since I used the method you said last time, the business of this cloth village has improved all of a sudden, thanks to you.

Su Yu smiled and said: That's the shopkeeper's idea, and selling things not only requires good things, but also has to be able to do things, otherwise, where can this thing be sold, I don't dare to recognize this credit.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled even more happily, which was to praise him for his ability to do business.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Yu with bright eyes: Little girl Su, come, talk here, let's go and sit in the back and say, there is still tea and snacks there, if you are thirsty and hungry, you can still eat.

The shopkeeper said to the guy in Buzhuang: You look at the store outside, and I will talk to Miss Su.

The Buzhuang guy nodded.

Su Yu carried the medicine and went to the hospitality room in the backyard with the shopkeeper of the cloth village.

As soon as Su Yu sat down, the shopkeeper poured her a cup of hot tea brewed with Longjing, and he asked with an iodine face: Little girl Su, I don't know if you have any good ideas, seeing that this year is coming, if you can earn a sum at the end of the year, then life will be better.

Su Yu asked him: Do you want to sell cloth or ready-to-wear?

The shopkeeper said, "Naturally, it's all sold."

Ancient clothes, winter clothes, if you design the style of winter clothes?

Su Yu pondered.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Yu like this, and felt that there was a play, and he was happy all of a sudden.

After a while.

Su Yu looked up at the shopkeeper and said: There seems to be a flash of inspiration in my mind, there is a little meaning, maybe let me think about it more and come up with it, the shopkeeper, I will give you the answer in a few more years, by the way, there is one more thing, the shopkeeper, do you have the style of ready-to-wear from previous years, if so, copy a copy to me, looking at the clothes of previous years, there may be more ideas.

The shopkeeper replied again and again: Okay, good, this is naturally no problem.

In recent years, whoever sells the clothes of the cloth village well, everyone follows and learns, and it is all like this.

In previous years, almost every cloth village had ready-to-wear styles, and it was not a secret, so there was absolutely no problem for the little girl of the Su family.

However, the shopkeeper still had a heart, and only gave Su Yu the ready-to-wear style of three years ago, and he kept it last year and the year before that, because he still needs to use it this year, and those older women always wear the same clothes, and they won't change them at all.

Take this. The shopkeeper handed some yellowed paper to Su Yu, and the paper was painted with designs from previous years.

Su Yu took it, took a cursory look, and probably had a number in her heart, she stuffed a thin layer of paper into her arms, and she said to the shopkeeper: Next time I come, I will definitely return this thing to you.

The shopkeeper nodded again and again: Okay, good.

The shopkeeper personally sent Su Yu out of the cloth village, and when Su Yu was walking on the street, she suddenly thought that she had to paint, she had to buy paper and pencils, and so on, Xiaobao didn't have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, well, to buy a copy for Xiaobao, it was not a matter to always practice calligraphy on the ground.

Xiaobao is young now, so let's buy it cheaper.

Su Yu looked at the medicine in her hand, and thought to herself, why don't you go back first, and give this medicine to a few of them to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, forget it, those people don't know if they went to the dart game, if they went to the dart game, then she went back in vain, it is better to buy the paper and pen first, anyway, the paper and pen are not heavy, and it is very convenient to carry.

After Su Yu figured it out, he went to the bookstore.

――

In the morning, Mrs. Zhang still didn't wake up.

Old man Zhang stayed by the bed and sighed repeatedly, and after a while, he stood up and said to Second Uncle Su: You go and call the Dachun family and let them meet your mother.

The implication of Old Man Zhang's words is that if the old woman can't wake up, then she has to prepare for the future, this, alas, it's better to call Da Chun and them to meet the old woman, otherwise, they will regret it in this life.

When Old Man Zhang thought of this, he hated Uncle Zhang even more, it was a curse, and she made out all the bad things.

Second Uncle Zhang stood up without saying a word, and Old Man Zhang suddenly said: Wait, when will your daughter-in-law come back, or you go to Xiao Taohua's grandmother's house to call your daughter-in-law back, and I will ask your eldest brother to call Da Chun?

Second Uncle Zhang shook his head and said: Dad, no need, Xiao Tao and her mother will come back today, she said before, she will definitely come back.

Old man Zhang also relaxed a little: Okay, then you can go.

Second Uncle Zhang went out of the house, went to the kitchen to fill the kettle with some water and went out, before leaving home, he also deliberately looked back at the main house, he was actually very, he was afraid that his mother would be gone when he left, if he couldn't send the old man to the end, this is a very sad thing.

It is because of this that the eldest brother cannot be allowed to go, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and he must be guarded at home.

Second Uncle Zhang walked very fast, and arrived in Sujia Village in an hour, someone in Sujia Village recognized him, and muttered directly behind him when they saw him: What is going on with the maiden family of this Erniu daughter-in-law, why do you come every day!

The door of the Su family was open, Second Uncle Su walked in directly, Su Daniu and Zhang Xiaotao found Second Uncle Zhang together, Zhang Xiaotao saw her father coming, she was crazy, she rushed in and hugged her father and said: Dad, are you here to pick me up?

Second Uncle Zhang hummed expressionlessly.

Zhang Xiaotao saw that her father's expression was not quite right, so she hurriedly let go, she wrinkled her chubby face and asked: Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you upset?

Su Daniu said hello to Second Uncle Zhang and asked, "Second Uncle, my mother is in the kitchen, I'll call my mother out."

Where is she still called, Su A-Niang took off her apron and came out as soon as she heard the voice, and she was also surprised when she saw the second brother: Second brother, why are you here? Did the eldest brother go back in the day, are the second girl and Ah Wang with you?

When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, he shook his head and said, "Aren't Erniu and Ah Wang at home?"

Su A-Niang thought that Su Wang and Erniu didn't come back, but they went to Zhang's house, but it didn't seem to be, so she smiled and said: It must still be in the town, Awang said that he was going to buy bricks, and this matter must not have been done yet.

Ah Wang and the second girl in the town?

Second Uncle Zhang was a little worried, why didn't this person be even.

Second Uncle Zhang touched his face and said: My mother was knocked on the head by your sister-in-law with a flat pole yesterday, and she never woke up, we found a doctor, and the doctor said that if you can't wake up today, then ...... I can only do the aftermath.

Su A-Niang's face turned pale all of a sudden, she took a few steps back, and only stood firm by holding on to the wall.

She trembled and said: Second brother, what are you talking about? My mother was beaten by my sister-in-law, this can't be, is my sister-in-law that kind of person? Besides, isn't the sister-in-law's mother sick, didn't she go back to her parents' house, how can she beat the old lady at home?

Second Uncle Zhang said: Your sister-in-law's old lady is sick is fake, his family owes money to the gambling house, and is ready to coax your sister-in-law to repay the debt, and then Xiaolu was caught by the people in the gambling house, saying that he would sell it, fortunately, the eldest brother bumped into it in the town, otherwise, Xiaolu is afraid to ......

Second Uncle Zhang didn't dare to think about it.

After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he said: Okay, don't rub it off, quickly put away the things at home, let's go, I hope my mother is okay.

Su Daniu interjected: What about the eldest aunt, don't settle accounts with her? She still dares to hit her grandmother, so bold!

Second Uncle Zhang heard this, his face sank even more, and he said: Your grandfather and uncle will deal with this matter, you are not afraid to worry, anyway, our family can't keep her, now that we are all here, she dares to beat my mother, if my mother is still alive one day, we will go first, then my mother will not give her a cheap death!

Second Uncle Zhang said it through gritted teeth.

Su A-Niang's whole face turned cold, and it was terrifying.

She said to Su Daniu: Girl, you go to the town, ask your eldest brother and the second girl to come back, and go to the village to borrow a donkey cart, this is faster than the ox cart, even if it costs a little silver, it must be fast!

Su Daniu hurriedly responded: Okay, then I'll go change my clothes.

Su Aniang's face darkened: What kind of clothes to change, you wait, I'll go find you some copper plates, you take them, you remember, don't come back if you find someone, go directly to Sujia Village.

Su Daniu nodded again and again: Okay.

Su A-Niang said to Zhang Xiaotao again: Xiaotao, you go and help Xiaobao pick it up, and your father and I will pick up the things drying in the yard and bring them to the house.

Zhang Xiaotao heard the words and quickly went to the West House where Xiaobao lives now, Xiaobao is backing loudly, and he can't hear the sound outside at all, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaotao shaking Xiaobao vigorously, Xiaobao is now immersed in books.

Su Aniang gave Su Daniu twenty copper plates, and she also advised: When you go to Zhangjia Village, you must take a car, a carriage and a donkey cart are fine, don't care about money.

Got it, mother. Su Daniu ran out of the door with the money, she looked at her old clothes on her body as she ran, alas, it was really embarrassing to wear this rag clothes to the town.

Su A-Niang and Second Uncle Zhang quickly put the things in the courtyard into the house, Zhang Xiaotao also led Xiaobao out, Su A-Niang locked the door, and went on the road with Second Uncle Zhang, there are only a few donkeys in the village, and there are ox carts, but they can't go fast, they don't bring anything, it's better to go fast by themselves.
