Chapter 8 Gossip News
At noon the next day, Su Chen finally made more than 100 bamboo skewers, and the original fine skin and tender hands grinded out a few purple and red cocoons.
Labor is easy to say, but it takes hard work to do it, and then practice makes perfect.
Next, Su Chen taught Yang Ling'er how to scrape the red edge of the mountain with a knife and remove the hardcore kernel inside.
"First make a circle horizontally, the depth is subject to touching the nucleolus, and then cut it horizontally, turn it in a circle with your hands, so that you can easily take out the nucleolus by pinching and squeezing, yes, that's what it looks like."
Su Chen told the skills in detail while doing things.
"At the bottom, use a knife to dig out the black part, be as careful as possible, don't crack it, and ensure that it is completely turned back before it can be skewered."
Yang Ling'er nodded, learning things very quickly.
An hour passed, and after processing more than six catties of hawthorn fruit, Su Chen clapped his hands, half of it was done, and then he could prepare to make syrup.
If the production goes well, you will be able to make a batch of sugar gourds at night, and you can take them out tomorrow and sell them in the streets.
However, Su Chen also knew that it was not enough to earn back 500 yuan in more than 20 days just by selling this thing, but he could earn some start-up capital first and invest in subsequent small inventions.
Just when the brother and sister were making sugar gourds at home, the streets and alleys outside had gradually spread that the eldest lady of the Bai family was accepting the poetry pursuit of the person she loved.
The name of Su Yixuan, a talented son in Jinling, quickly spread in the literati circle of Runzhou City.
The literati circle was spread in the land of fireworks, and then the three religions and nine streams in the city were all brewed and spread.
In the eyes of many people, this is a good story of a talented and beautiful woman.
In this age of barren entertainment, it's a nice gossip news.
"At the poetry club activity of stepping into the spring, Bai Susu personally took out the lyrics written to her by the person she liked, which was compared to a fairy, and wrote the deep affection of sadness and longing, and even Xu Dacai was moved, and commented that this song can be passed down for a hundred years, and it is regarded as the first parting word in the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River."
A young scholar was unconvinced and said: "The first parting word in the Tang Kingdom, this evaluation, a little too much, can it surpass Feng Lao's words?" ”
"Looking at the Guan River, thousands of miles away, endure the gaze! Qi Shenjing, Yingying Fairy, don't come to the brocade word is difficult to match. Listen to it, this kind of rhetoric is not even of the same level in Feng Lao's lexicon, this Su Yixuan is so talented! "An old talent, wearing an old shirt with patches, sat on his stall selling calligraphy and paintings, his mouth was like a river, and he made comments.
Nearby, there were several scholars dressed as scholars, all holding folding fans in their hands, standing there in a daze.
A short boy in a green shirt asked: "What about this sentence, secretly thinking about how many happy parties there were at the beginning, how do you know that it is difficult to gather and disperse, and turn into rain and hatred!" Could it be that this Su Yixuan secretly had many trysts with Bai Susu in private and made fornication? ”
"Could it be that Bai Susu is already pregnant?" Another slender and obscene scholar expressed his guess.
"Ah, Goddess!" Suddenly, someone reacted and howled directly.
Such a scene is similar to that in many alleys.
In the fireworks venues around Qinghefang, in the Qinglou and the restaurant, there are already Qingqi people singing this song "Quyuguan - Longshou Yunfei", which undoubtedly promotes the spread of this song even more.
I believe that soon, this song will become a popular song on the streets.
Just when others were speculating about which talent Su Yixuan was in Jinling, what his character and appearance were, Xiaotong was already in a few alleys in Liuhefang, inquiring about Su Chen's past deeds.
In addition to these negative evaluations, such as the sons of gentlemen, the sons of ruined families, the children and grandchildren of unscrupulous, and the stupidity of reading.
There is also an earth-shattering gain: Su Chen actually gambled on dominoes and owed Cao Dan, the third lang of the Cao family, 500 yuan, and repaid it within one month, otherwise he would have to use the ancestral house and his little sister to pay off the debt.
Xiaotong was surprised, and in his heart, he basically equated this person with a scumbag.
She wants to bring this news to the eldest lady as soon as possible, and she must not let the eldest lady Su Su be deceived by this gentleman.
……..
The Bai family's mansion is located in Run'anli Fang, which is located in the Taishikou area of Runzhou City.
Because the Bai family has been operating in Jiangdong for decades and has abundant assets, one-third of the area of the Li Fang is occupied by the Bai family's mansion, not to mention sixty or seventy acres, the courtyard is open, the stone lion stands, the high wall and green tiles, the roof ridges in the courtyard are continuous, and the attic is uneven.
This is a five-in, five-out house, combining the Jiangnan garden and the northern wall model, divided into the main hall, the front hall, the backyard, the flower garden, the garden water pavilion, the courtyard wing, the firewood room, etc., living in the Bai family for three or four generations, the big family lives in it.
Bai Susu has an independent courtyard, a two-story vermilion attic running north-south, and a wing room in the courtyard with a stove where servants can cook on a separate fire.
Peng Jingqing was bored dancing a sword in the courtyard, her figure was graceful, the sword light was sassy and cold, and she was really beautiful like a jade sword and a rainbow.
At this time, Bai Susu walked over from the old man's room in the back house, a little sullen and thoughtful.
Peng Jingqing put away his sword, took out a silk scarf from his arms, wiped the fine sweat on his snow-white forehead, and chuckled: "Sister Susu, just now you were called by Grandpa Bai and told you something, I see that you are a little embarrassed." ”
Bai Susu stopped and sighed lightly: "What happened yesterday in the Tachun Poetry Society spread in Runzhou City, and my grandfather naturally came to me to ask, who is this Su Yixuan's son, how did I meet him, and did he do anything out of bounds?" ”
Peng Jingqing sighed and said: "Yes, on the way I came here again in the afternoon, I also heard that his poem was praised very highly, and the talents who passed by on the street were talking while walking, and they were very curious about this Jinling talent." Of course, you are compared to a fairy by him, and now many scholars in the city who have never seen you are also very eager for your appearance. Overnight, Su Yixuan became famous! ”
Bai Susu glanced at it and corrected: "That's fame." ”
Peng Jingqing smiled awkwardly: "Yes, the reputation has risen, and the magpie has risen." ”
Bai Susu shook his head and smiled bitterly, there was nothing she could do, and said: "Grandpa let me deal with it myself, although this news is released, it is conducive to the Bai family's rejection of the Cao family's proposal, but it will also damage my reputation after all." It is said that it is rumored that I had a private tryst with him and made a private agreement for life, which is detrimental to the reputation of the girl who has not left the cabinet. Therefore, my grandfather was worried that I would not be able to marry in the future. ”
Peng Jingqing didn't care and said: "It doesn't matter if it's so long-term, let's get past the current hurdle first." Anyway, the Qing is self-purifying, and after two years, everyone won't remember this incident, and you can't choose a good son-in-law to marry. ”
"Having said that, after all, there was some impact, and even I didn't realize that things went beyond expectations!" Bai Susu is well versed in business planning, but she still does not calculate the content of the poem and the degree of enthusiasm for gossip.
At this moment, Xiaotong ran in, his face was covered with sweat, and he gasped and said, "Miss, I, I found out, this person is not a good thing!" ”
"Which one!" Peng Jingqing asked.
"Su Chen!" Koki Road.
Bai Susu frowned and said, "Come upstairs and tell me the news you heard today." ”
Half an hour later, Xiao Tong told the news in Liuhefang today, all the details of the little girl's reading, but the brain of remembering trivial things is very good.
"A gentleman, a loser, a debaucher, a prodigal son, a prodigal son, and a gamble loss of 500 yuan!" After Peng Jingqing listened, he stood up with the scabbard in his hand, eager to draw his sword to cut this scumbag.
Bai Susu couldn't figure out what Su Chen was doing, if it was self-defilement, it would be too self-defilement!
