Chapter 11 Middle-lifted
It turned out to be like this, no wonder Wang Er squatted on the ground and sighed when he entered the door.
But things shouldn't be as easy as he said, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! Father Su patted him on the shoulder to comfort: "Wang Er, I really want to order a batch of wine jars today, and I am in a hurry to get it out, can I get it out in the next few days?" ”
When Wang Er heard this, he became energetic: "Okay, uncle, how many do you want, I will definitely burn them for you as soon as possible, and I won't delay your business." ”
"That kind of half-pound small wine jar, it costs five hundred, and I am ordering five half-person high wine jars!" Daddy Su is very arrogant.
Wang Er's eyes widened: "Order... Five hundred? Uncle, are you going to do business? A little worried, he said, "It's not easy to do business these days!" ”
Father Su waved his hand, in fact, he was also panicked, there was no way, the second son and the second daughter-in-law insisted, at first he said that he would order 2,000 wine jars, but he didn't scare him out of heart disease, and then he and Su's mother argued with reason, so they decided to order 500 first.
"Just tinker with some gadgets at home, what to do or not to do business, I'll give a deposit first, when it's done, shout, I'll get it!"
"Okay, uncle."
Daddy Su thought about his thoughts all the way, he was happy, excited, and worried, and his old face was colorful.
Before he got home, he heard the sound of commotion and a crowd of people gathered around his door.
Father Su worriedly pushed aside the crowd, only to see that the second daughter-in-law stuffed a handful of copper coins into the servant.
Suddenly, my heart suddenly changed, which of the unscrupulous descendants of the family has committed an accident?
At this time, the villagers who found him next to him congratulated him with a happy face, and Father Su was stunned again.
Su Xiaomei hurriedly walked over, held Daddy Su's arm, and trembled all over: "Dad, the second brother is hit, really hit, the second brother will be lifted in the future!" As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down, and the rest of the Su family was crying, waiting for so many years, suffering for so many years, and suddenly their dreams came true! Tears of joy!
Among them, the most calm are Su Zhiyuan himself and Bai Banxia. Banxia took some melon and fruit sugar water to the lively villagers, and Su Zhiyuan was still greeting the officials.
The official took the generous reward money, and his eyes bloomed with a smile: "The old man ranked fifteenth in the township test this time, and he is the youngest person in Chaoyang Prefecture, and his future is immeasurable!" ”
Lifting people is not the same level as Xiucai, it's okay to take the Xiucai, it's useless to show talents, it's different to lift people, you have a reputation for raising people, not only your own family is exempt from paying taxes, but the nearby small farmers and small businessmen will also drag their families to attach themselves, and offer their property to reduce themselves to tenants and helpers, and they don't have to bow down when they see the official from now on, and they are no longer flat-headed people.
The official has left, the excitement of the Su family continues, Su's father and mother are already discussing the banquet, this is a big deal, the whole village has to come to eat, and even many people from other villages have come to join in the fun, and everyone unanimously decided to hold a flowing water banquet.
The village chief looks proud and dignified, and they have a good man in Xiaohe Village, which is something that no other village has! Hmph, let the old men in other villages envy them.
The village chief spoke, the Su family held a flowing water banquet at the head of the village, and the whole village had to help, and the Su family could not pay for it, which was a major matter for the entire village. Every family also has to make some money, the villagers are not unhappy, tomorrow let those from other villages take a good look at the scenery of Xiaohe Village, the banquet can not be bad!
Early in the morning of the second day, the Su family went out and got busy, and the aunts and grandmothers in the village came over with a basket of eggs or some dried fish or some bacon, which was a little bit of the village's heart, and the Su family did not refuse.
After breakfast, there were more people in the family, seven aunts and eight aunts, and some distant relatives who had never seen much came, and the small courtyard was full of people, which was really more lively than the New Year.
Banxia followed Su's mother to entertain guests, and Su Zhiyuan accompanied the elders in the village.
Today's great event is to open the ancestral hall, and Su Zhiyuan is the protagonist, standing next to the village chief at the front.
After most of the hour passed, the whole ceremony was completed, and a group of people went to the village.
When the end of the flowing water feast was over, many villagers spontaneously helped to clean up the scraps and were busy until the sun went down.
Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Banxia mentioned the matter of the wine jar, and Father Su was drunk and excited, so he promised Banxia to order another thousand small wine jars.
Su Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile and quietly held her hand with the help of his wide sleeves.
The men who opened the meat all thought about it, although they have been married for three years, but they were stupid before Banxia, and they are now considered newlyweds.
In the room, Su Zhiyuan hugged her from behind, hugged her tightly, rested his head on Banxia's shoulder, rubbed it, and the crispy and numb touch extended all the way from his neck.
……
The Su family, who had recovered from their joy, began to prepare the wine.
The news that the Su family wants to buy ripe purple grapes for two cents and one pound can make the people in the village happy.
Some people were curious about the reason why the Su family harvested grapes, but they were all prevaricated by Father Su.
Some villagers did not grow grapes, so they went to neighboring villages to harvest them.
The Su family paid two pennies and one catty, and they paid one penny and one catty, and sold them to the Su family in reverse, so that they also made money.
In the courtyard of the Su family, Banxia was directing everyone to pick grapes and wash grapes.
The grapes sent by the villagers are all bunches of grapes, a pile of them are placed there, and it is also a big project to pick them one by one, and many people who are close to them have taken the initiative to come to help, and when they toss to Shen, everyone goes to their homes, and the yard is full of grapes, and the air is tired of a grape fragrance.
"The second one's family, how do you get it next?" Daddy Su asked.
"When the grapes are dried, crush them and put them in the jar, add sugar, and wait for a month."
"It's as simple as that?" Daddy Su was surprised.
"How much does it take a month? I remember that the last time it was half a summer, it was brewed for five or six days. Su Liushi was puzzled.
"Last time, it was for you to taste it in advance, but it should have been sealed for a month, so that the wine would have a strong flavor."
After a few days, Wang Er personally sent the wine jar over, and walked back and forth more than a dozen times before moving all the things.
The Su family also specially cleaned up an empty room to store these jars.
Although the wine is simple to make, it can only be made by the Su family themselves, and various small details in it also need to be paid attention to, otherwise it will affect the taste.
Even Dabao and Da Ya have been pulled over by the unscrupulous second aunt to help pinch the grapes these days.
Su Zhiyuan still needs to go to Beijing to take the exam next year, and he has already gone to the county academy yesterday, and the night before he left, he naturally pulled Banxia and was obsessed.
This month, the people of the Su family can be very bumpy, especially when it comes to the day when the wine is to be opened: Su's mother went out and banged on the door, Su Xiaomei forgot to put salt in cooking, Su Dashan was always distracted, Su Liu's embroidery was frequently pierced, and only the two children were still carefree.
