165 Good marriage
town.
On this day, Su Yu got up early, she went to the kitchen to bring out the small stove, she added a small pot to the stove, and poured a lot of grape vinegar into the pot, the white vinegar has not yet been prepared, and now only this grape vinegar can be used.
After that, she made a fire on the stove and made it small, and the vinegar of the pot boiled, and the thick smell of vinegar wafted through the yard.
Su Yu remembered that burning vinegar could kill bacteria, because the acetic acid molecule itself has the effect of inhibiting bacteria and viruses, so she did this.
Su Aniang smelled the sour vinegar smell when she came with Su Daniu, Su Daniu sniffed vigorously, wrinkled her nose and said: What kind of smell is this, Erniu, what are you doing?
Su Yudao: Isn't the condition of the people who moved to the City God Temple getting worse and worse, although they are far away, but then again, we are all in the same town, as soon as the wind blows, the air over there will come, and it will be passed on? So I burned vinegar to prevent smelting.
Su A-Niang stared at the gurgling pot on the stove and asked: Does this thing still have this function?
Su Yudao: Perhaps, try to have peace of mind.
Su A-Niang shook her head and said: You just like to mess with these weird things, alas, let it be.
Su Daniu looked left and right and asked, "What about Bai Fan, where did he go, we all got up, hasn't he gotten up yet?"
Su Yudao: Up, I asked him to buy medicine.
Su Daniu was puzzled: Buy medicine, what kind of medicine to buy? No one in our family is sick, what are you doing with medicine?
Su Yu looked at her and said, "Be prepared, just in case, can you guarantee that our family will not get sick this winter?" After Su Yu finished speaking, he said: I have heard that this medicine has been selling very fast recently, and the pharmacy is almost out of stock, if we don't buy it again, maybe we won't be able to buy it in a few days.
Su Dayu was surprised: Out of stock? Didn't the sick people in this town get to the City God Temple, could it be that someone in the surrounding villages was sick?
Su Yudao: Sister, why don't you go to the town to inquire, I've been at home all day, and I just heard what my second uncle said, and I don't know the specific news.
When Su Daniu heard this, she hesitated and said: Why don't we go outside and inquire together, I am alone...... I'm a little scared.
Su Yudao: I still have to look at my vats of vinegar, which are being made, I don't know if it can be good, I don't have time, or you can take Ah Ping to ask, Ah Ping is familiar with this town.
Su Daniu hurriedly said: That's good.
Su Yu told again: Eldest sister, buy some vegetable seeds when you go out, buy more cabbage and radishes, and plant them in winter.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, but aren't we going back to the village, can't we grow many things in this yard?"
Su Yudao: Buy it first, those seeds are not expensive.
Su Daniu just sighed, and after a while, Su Daniu took Gao Ping out of the door, and Su Yu shouted in the back: Remember to come back for dinner.
Su Daniu and Gao Ping turned around and smiled, and then went out.
Su Da Niu is still not used to the life in the town, if she chooses, she would rather live in the village, she used to envy the life in the town, but now she lives for a few days, but she is not envious at all, she still thinks about the previous life in the village, even if she works all day long, she is more comfortable than here.
Not long after Su Daniu went out, Bai Fan came back, he was full of medicines in his hand, all of which were bought from the Charity Hall, this is still the relationship between the Fang family, or he really can't buy so much, the medicine is really in demand.
Bai Fan walked in with the medicine, and as soon as he came in, he said: The Charity Hall has sent several doctors to the township, and I heard that several villages are sick. Bai Fan paused and said, early this morning, the sick people entered the town, and they were all detained by the soldiers, and the seriously ill ones were all sent to the City God Temple, and the suspected infections were also sent together.
Su Yu followed Bai Fan's medicine and asked him: Isn't it like this these days, what is there to say, and don't do our business.
Bai Fan said in a low voice: I heard that there is Sujia Village today, and he also said that the entire village is ...... Something went wrong, and now the catcher is going to close the village with his things.
Su A-Niang was sweeping the floor on the side, she also heard it, she stopped?
Bai Fan Dao: No, the shopkeeper of the Charity Hall told me personally that he is a member of the Fang family, and he has a good relationship with us, so he still took the medicine from him, this matter can't be wrong. Moreover, he heard from the official that the man from Sujia Village said that the people in the entire village were seriously ill and couldn't move, and this situation was strict.
When Su A-Niang heard this, she threw down the broom and ran over, she said with a worried face: "Erniu, isn't your grandmother too......
Su Yu was silent for a while, and said: There is life and death, and we can't do anything.
Su A-Niang was even more worried: If your father comes back next year and knows that we will not be saved, then I can't tell, Erniu, you think of a way, let's go and see your grandparents.
Mother, we're not doctors, is it useful to go? Su Yu frowned, and said, Didn't you hear Brother Avan say that Sujia Village is all closed, and if we go, we will definitely be locked inside.
Bai Fan also echoed on the side: Yes, I heard that there were people who were not sick in the morning, and the villagers sent people to the town to see the sick, whether they were sick or not, they were all locked up in the City God Temple together, saying that they were afraid of passing it on to others, if we went to Sujia Village to be seen, maybe we thought we had escaped from the village.
These words still did not reduce Su Aniang's worries.
She is anxious, she has heard that this disease is not good, there are a lot of deaths, if Erniu comes back next year, look inside, the father and mother are dead, but she and a few children are still alive and well, this question, she is hiding in the town, it doesn't matter whether the old man Su and the old woman Su live or die, Erniu will definitely think that she is ruthless and unjust.
Su Yu said to Bai Fan: Let's go, let's put the medicine first, and then go and take a look at the jars of vinegar......
As she was talking, Su A-Niang interrupted Su Yu's words, she stared at the medicine bag in Su Yu's hand and said: "Erniu, otherwise, let's send this medicine to your grandparents, we can't let them die."
Su Yu said with a headache: Mother, it's not certain if they have anything to do, it's too early to say this, and Brother Afan also said just now, didn't the doctor and the catcher bring the medicine, can't we wait?
Su A-Niang had a sad face: But, where can I wait for this illness!
Su Yu took out a small half of the medicine in her hand, and she handed it to Su A-Niang: If you want to go, I won't stop you, and we will keep the rest for ourselves.
Su A-Niang took the medicine and glanced at Bai Fan, her lips moved, and she was about to speak, Su Yu also took Bai Fan to the backyard, what Su Yu thought in her heart was that she would teach Bai Fan as soon as possible, so that the Bai family could produce vinegar as soon as possible, and then the family would be able to make more money.
As for Su A-Niang, it has given her more and more headaches, since the family bought a house, I don't know if Su A-Niang thinks that the family has money or something, she actually gave birth to a virgin heart, either to help her second uncle buy a house or to take the relatives of Zhangjia Village to live, living is a trivial matter, the problem Su A-Niang wants to support them in vain.
Su Yu couldn't figure out where Su A-Niang got the confidence!
Moreover, she has no silver in her heart, and she can't earn much silver, so why should she say these things?
There was also the matter of Sujia Village this time, Bai Fan just inquired about some news, and Su A-Niang was so anxious that she became angry. Su Yu thought, now is definitely not a good time to go, the catchers and doctors have gone, if they go, then they will definitely have to meet people, they can't tell clearly, they are from Sujia Village, and if they go back to the village, they will definitely be suspected of being infected.
Maybe you will have to help Second Uncle Zhang in the back, isn't that causing trouble to Second Uncle Zhang for no reason.
Su Yu remembered that the plagues in ancient times were all large tracts of infection, death, only a few people survived, and she had not heard of any particularly effective medicine that could cure her, and she was not a doctor, so she didn't know about the disease, she only knew that she had to prevent it first, burn acid, drink ginger soup, and buy medicine...... Anyway, it's all ready.
After Su Yu put the medicine bag away, he went to Bai Fan to see the vinegar vat, a large vat of vinegar, five small vinegar vats, the stove outside the kitchen was still burning vinegar, Su Yu glanced at the stove, and suddenly thought that it was best to burn vinegar in every room, so that the prevention should be thorough, but there was not much vinegar left at home.
Su Yu looked at the small vinegar jars, she frowned, no, I don't know how long it will take to get this suspected plague disease, she needs to prepare some vinegar.
So, she turned her head to look at Bai Fan and said: These vinegar vats are too small, let's go buy a few more, by the way, I remember that sake lees can make vinegar, but last time I used sake lees contains very little sugar and not much water, I'm afraid this is the reason, this time let's go directly to the wine shop to see if we can see some unused sake lees, maybe it can be made into vinegar, or in this way, it can save a lot of time.
Bai Fan's eyes lit up: Can it still be like this, this thing is really special.
Su Yudao: Well, let's go, let's go buy a vat first, and then try sake lees when the time comes. The first time she used sake lees to make vinegar failed, she felt that the method was right, since the method was right, it must be that there was something wrong with the village materials, and since it was a problem with the materials, wouldn't it be okay to change the materials better.
Bai Fan saw that Su Yu was not hiding it privately at all, and he was a little moved in his heart, only to see him suddenly walk to Su Yu's side and whisper: When we went to Sujia Village before, wasn't your house turned over, I asked someone from the Fang family to secretly check it, and there was a result.
Su Yu looked at Bai Fan in surprise: You still went to check? After speaking, she asked again, what is the result?
Bai Fan Dao: There are two people looking for you, one is from Shudi, and the other is from Beijing, and I don't know who it is. After Bai Fan finished speaking, he added: This is the news that our people found out from the accents of those people.
Shudi? It was the fief of King Jin.
Kyochu?
There are more people in Beijing, who will it be?
Su Yu pondered, besides, what are you looking for her to do? It's hard to do it, it's still for the previous one.
At this time, Bai Fan said again: The murders in the suburbs are related to the group of people in Shudi, some of them are like killers, and the other part is like ...... People in the military.
You know very well.
The young master's spies have been by my side, and the two people are hanging around, so they checked by the way. Bai Fan touched his nose and said.
Su Yu pondered: It stands to reason that this town is so big, they can find our house one by one, but until now they haven't come to the door, either they haven't found anyone, or they are afraid of Zhang Zhutou next door, so they don't dare to make a rash move.
Bai Fan said: Don't think about it, don't you want to buy a vinegar tank, let's go quickly.
Su Yu nodded, she went to the front yard, Su A-Niang had already finished sweeping the ground, was tying an apron, and was about to go to the kitchen to make food, Su Yu walked over and said to Su A-Niang: Mother, you look at this vinegar, if it is gone, you add a little more to it, but you must not stop.
Okay, I know, after Su A-Niang finished speaking, she stared at Su Yu again: Where are you going?
Su Yudao: I'm going to buy a few large vats, I'm afraid this vinegar is not enough to burn day by day, I want to make more, it's best to burn them in the fried people's houses one by one, by the way, then you have to buy a few small stoves! Yes, buy a stove.
Su A-Niang said worriedly: The big girl is going out, do you have any silver in your hand?
Su Yu said: Isn't the shopkeeper of the restaurant our vinegar, I'll go to him, and when the time comes, I will deduct it from the salary, the same.
Su A-Niang was relieved.
After a while, she sighed again: Let's remember your grandmother's affairs first, and when the limelight passes in two days, let's find another time to take a look, if it's okay, let's come back, if it's strict, let's send more medicine, do you think this will be done?
Su Yuxiao: Of course.
Su A-Niang smiled at this time.
Su Yu said: Mother, when the girl comes back from buying the seeds, you can turn over the grass field, let's plant the cabbage seeds and eat them in the winter.
Su A-Niang pointed to another vegetable field and said: Haven't we already planted it?
Su Yu said: It's not a bad thing to have more, I see that the day is getting colder and colder, while the snow has not fallen, let's have more and hide it in the cellar, if we can't finish it, let's make pickled cabbage and sauerkraut, which can always be used.
After Su Yu finished speaking, he patted his head again and said: Mother, don't you have soybeans at home, do you know how to make tempeh? Let's make more of this and eat it in winter.
Su A-Niang smiled: Naturally, we will also know how to make tofu, speaking of which, we have a lot of soybeans, if there is a grinding plate, we can also make tofu!
After Su A-Niang finished speaking, her eyes lit up: Erniu, otherwise, let's buy a grinding plate and make tofu and sell it!
Su Yu shook his head very resolutely: No! Didn't you say okay, let's not sell food first, you look at this disease, I don't know if I can stand it, just keep it when I eat, and when this hurdle is over next year, you can sell whatever you want, I will never stop you!
Su A-Niang was a little disappointed, but she still obediently listened to Lord Su's words.
Su Yu told her again: Spring will start tomorrow, and when the weather is warm, it doesn't matter if you sell tofu or other things.
Su A-Niang sighed and said: I just want to earn some silver for my family.
Master Su walked over and hugged Su A-Niang, she said: I know, mother, I have worked hard for you.
Su A-Niang smiled.
Su Yu let go of Su Aniang, she took Bai Fan out to buy things, in addition to buying vinegar jars, she also had to buy grain, salt, oil...... When she thinks about these things when she goes out, she will move them home little by little, like a hamster in the winter.
Unprepared for her worries, her sixth sense has always been very accurate, and she always feels like something is going to happen this winter, which is very unsettling. Yes, there are still medicines, injuries and medicine bags have to be prepared, thinking about it this way, there are many places to spend money, but fortunately, Su Yu still has a hundred taels of silver in his hand.
When Su Yu went to the winery to buy sake lees, she saw an acquaintance, it was Deng Sizhi, she remembered, this guy was released, I heard that the Du family stuffed some money, and Deng Sizhi's crime was not serious, and the people in the yamen opened their eyes and only closed one eye and released the person.
Deng Sizhi came to buy wine, and he bought the best wine!
When he came, he heard Su Yu tell the owner of the wine shop about buying sake lees, he looked at Su Yu, the corners of his mouth twitched, and sneered: Aren't you a relative of the Zhang family, heh, you are so poor, I know that the relatives of the Zhang family are all poor ghosts!
Su Yu ignored him, and she didn't bother to say hello to people she didn't know.
Deng Sizhi saw Su Yu's appearance and thought she was ashamed, so he said even harder: That Zhang family is really not a thing, I divorced my sister for no reason, hum! Look, my Deng family is developed, but it's not the previous Deng family, look, what is this, silver, five taels of silver! I can carry so much silver in my pocket when I go out, and my eyes are red!
Deng Sizhi said proudly: Fortunately, my sister-in-law broke up with Zhang Daming, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find such a good marriage, that person is from the town, and he has a house and a shop, which is very good.
Su Yu was very surprised by this, and at the same time she wondered in her heart, how could this person with a house and a shop look down on Deng Zhi, you know, Deng Zhi has given birth to four children, her eldest son is married, she is not even a half-old, not to mention the old looks, not beautiful, even if the shopkeeper with a little net worth remarries, how can he pick a young girl, even if he doesn't pick a little girl, he has to pick a beautiful one!
Why does this sound so wicked!
Su Yu wanted to get more news, and couldn't help asking: Is Sister Xiaolu and her mother going to get married? Who to marry? Does the house and shop in the town really want to marry her?
Deng Sizhi raised his chin high, and showed off: This is still thanks to my daughter's blessing, my daughter is Young Master Deng's favorite concubine, the shopkeeper is a descendant of the Du family, he wants to get on Young Master Deng, so naturally he has to coax my daughter, my sister is separated again, he has taken a fancy to my sister-in-law, he is in a hurry to ask for a kiss!
Su Yu exclaimed: The descendants of the Du family, isn't that a slave, the children born in the future will be slaves to the Du family!
When Deng Sizhi heard this, he laughed: They are free from slavery!
The descendants who have got rid of the slave status, the master's family will not matter at all, no wonder they want to climb the Deng family, generally speaking, the one who will get rid of the slave is either the grace of the master, or the sin slave, I just don't know where this shopkeeper is.
Deng Sizhi chattered for a long time, Su Yu only listened to it on the side, and didn't interject at all, and in the end, the owner of the wine shop couldn't help but interject: Guest officer, didn't you say that there is still wine waiting for you at home?
Deng Sizhi sighed and said: Quick, hurry up and get me the best wine, hurry up, look, I didn't pay attention to this one, it's all at this time.
At this time, Deng Sizhi couldn't take care of Su Yu anymore, he bought the best wine, paid the silver, and hurriedly left with the wine.
Su Yu was thinking about one thing in her mind, this Deng Zhi remarried, she had to tell the Zhang family, the matter of slavery, let the second uncle find a way to go to the yamen to check, although Deng Sizhi said that the person got rid of the slave status, but Su Yu didn't believe it, got rid of the slave status, and wanted to have a relationship with Du Jiapan, this married the aunt of Young Master Du's concubine, the shopkeeper, is really ruthless to herself, marrying a yellow-faced woman as a bride is not something anyone can do.
――
Near the City God Temple.
Uncle Su and they were placed in an old house, that house only had four rooms, Su Guihua was assigned to the east room, Li Zheng and Li Zheng people were lying in the west room, and Li Zheng's little grandson, lying in the small room next to the west, there was only one room left, Uncle Su left Su Dashan, and Uncle Su went to Osmanthus's house, built a small bed next to Osmanthus's bed, and made peace.
This house has a kitchen and a thatched house, and this house used to be lived in, but then the county magistrate moved the villagers, and I heard that they moved to the county, and they found a place to live, so they were willing to move.
Uncle Su was boiling medicine in the house, and the four stoves were boiling together, this medicine was shared for free, and when Aunt Su got the free medicine, the whole heart was full of joy.
It's just that one thing makes her not very happy, she not only has to take care of the osmanthus, but also takes care of the three members of the Li Zheng family, she secretly thought in her heart, she was really unlucky, she knew that she shouldn't have agreed to the mountain to bring the Li Zheng family over, and now she is divided into one place, and the Li Zheng family has no one to take care of her, and she is annoyed to death.
Su Dashan walked around the various rooms, and then came to the kitchen, he asked Uncle Su with a worried face: Mother, didn't the third uncle also go to the town, will they ......
Aunt Su pouted and said: Don't worry, your third aunt is pregnant, and she is not sick, so she will not be assigned here.
When Su Dashan heard this, he was a little relieved, but after a while, he said again: I don't know what's going on in the village, I told the soldier about the situation in the village, they should send a doctor over, mother, Dad, they will be fine, right!
Phew, don't say these frustrating words, your dad was fine last night, where will something happen! Uncle Su said with a firm eyebrow.
Su Dashan suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he said loudly: Mother, when I went to borrow medicine yesterday, the villagers were not sick!
When Aunt Su heard this, she panicked.
