Su Jinyao stretched out a "otherwise" in her voice, which made Zhou's daughter-in-law frightened and stepped out of the threshold in a few steps. caught up with her sheep, and ran away without saying a word.

Su Jinyao saw that she was walking away, so she put down her horsewhip and pushed the door into the house. I saw Su Xiangui sitting in a wheelchair, and his face turned pale with anger. And Sophie sat on the small bench on the side with red eyes, and she had just cried.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment when she saw this (qíng), and then turned her head and said, "I'll ask Zhou's daughter-in-law for clarification." ”

"Jinyao, don't go, it has nothing to do with Zhou's daughter-in-law." Su Xiangui hurriedly stopped her, and then said, "She really didn't come into the house, and she didn't say anything." However, our family and the Zhou family have had a holiday, and they haven't been in contact for many years. I don't know what the eldest daughter-in-law thinks this week, but she actually came to the door with a sheep. Your eldest sister was angry and cried when she remembered the past. ”

Only then did Su Jinyao know that the Zhou family and her own family still had a holiday? It's no wonder that Zhou General Assembly spoke like that before, respectively, he couldn't see that the Su family was living a good life (rì).

Su Jinyao walked over, pulled Su Fei'er and shook her hand to show comfort. He poured Su Xiangui another glass of water, brought it to him, and then squatted down (shēn) and asked, "Dad, what is the festival between the two of us?" Can it make you angry like this? Do you need to think of a way to vent your anger? ”

It is said that the father's debt is repaid by the son, but someone owes Su Xiangui's debt, and she, who is a daughter, will also think of helping him get it back.

Su Xiangui patted Su Jinyao's hand, shook his head and said, "It's all in the past, this matter really has nothing to do with you." So Dad doesn't want to talk about it, and he doesn't want you to get involved. In fact, your eldest sister is also narrow-minded, and she didn't figure it out for a while, but her father had already said about her just now, and she also let it go. ”

Since Su Xiangui insisted on refusing to say, Su Jinyao didn't ask again. It should also be a scar in my father's heart, and since my father has let it go, it is not good for her to hold on to it. Second, people like the Zhou family are really annoying, and it's a good thing not to get along. There is no need to stir up trouble because of the old things in the past, and against such a person, Su Jinyao is still disgusted.

Sophie stopped crying, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's okay, the eldest sister is really small-minded, and these things have nothing to do with you." Jinyao, let's do it, cook a few more dishes in the evening, and eat happily. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Eldest sister, have you turned your grief and anger into food?" It's okay, I cook in the evening, cook a few dishes, and our family eats happily, forgetting all the previous unhappiness. ”

Sophie burst into tears and smiled, took Su Jinyao's hand and went to the kitchen. Pick vegetables and wash rice with Su Jinyao.

After a while, Xiaocheng'er and Gazi also returned. The goats of the rest of the families were also sent back, but the goats of the Gazi family were still carried. When Gazi had dinner at Su's house, it was just right to take it back by the way.

There was also the big yellow dog that came back with him, and he went directly into the kitchen with his tail wagged, and Su Jinyao found two leftover buns and gave them to the big yellow dog to eat, which was regarded as a reward for helping him that day.

Xiao Cheng'er didn't notice that something was wrong with the family (qíng), so he dragged Gazi to his house. It is estimated that he wanted to teach Gazi to write, and he also heard Xiaocheng'er say that he would give Gazi his favorite brush.

Su Xiangui and Su Jinyao don't care about these things, Xiaocheng'er likes to make friends, as long as the other party is also a good boy, there is no need to intervene.

After dinner, Gazi went home, and Xiaocheng'er went to deliver it. Su Jinyao didn't have anything to do, so she went back to the house to study the bamboo tube she got back from Gu Xuebin the day before.

Su Jinyao knew that this bamboo tube was probably the key to Gu Xuebin's detoxification, but what was the insect in it, she hadn't seen it in the medical books and pharmacopoeia she had flipped through in her free time in the past two days, so she didn't know why she came for a while.

When she opened the bamboo tube again today, Su Jinyao followed Gu Xuebin's example and found a small bamboo branch and gently poked it inside, wanting to see what the characteristics of the insect were. But after waiting for a while, nothing climbed out of the bamboo tube.

Could it be that the strange bug escaped? But Su Jinyao was sure that no one had touched this bamboo tube. Because Su Jinyao, just in case, put the bamboo tube on the beam of her house. And Xiao Cheng'er knows what is in it, and he will not take it at will; Sophie certainly couldn't climb up; Su Xiangui needless to say. The Su family will not come to the thief, and the thief will not steal a worm in a bamboo tube.

If the bugs didn't escape on their own, they were still in the bamboo tube. If you don't climb out, you may die and sink to the bottom.

In order to see if the insect was dead, Su Jinyao deliberately turned on the oil lamp, and put the small opening of the bamboo tube close to the lamp to look inside. In the beginning, because of the limited light, I couldn't see the bottom at all, and I didn't know if there were any bugs.

However, just when Su Jinyao was about to give up, the wick of the oil lamp suddenly burst into a spark, and when the spark exploded instantly, Su Jinyao saw that the water in the bamboo tube was a little strange, or that the water quality had changed. The water, which was originally clear, becomes cloudy and slightly flocculent.

Su Jinyao had put in a little bit of powdered insect eggs before, but now looking at the change in water quality, it doesn't look like a little bit of insect eggs. At the very least, millions of eggs are floating in it. The weird bug from before seemed to be still in the water, but there was not much left that had been gnawed.

If it weren't for Su Jinyao's super good eyesight and extremely fast reaction, she would not have been able to see so clearly at the moment when the wick burst on. But now that I see it clearly, I am even more full of doubts. The change in water quality is so unimaginable that the eggs will divide on their own? But if these eggs grow up, will they burst this bamboo tube?

Thinking that it might be a bamboo tube full of strange insects, Su Jinyao's heart couldn't help but feel a chill. But if these insects can detoxify Gu Xuebin, she doesn't want to give up now.

After weighing it for a while, Su Jinyao decided to keep this bamboo tube well, at least to figure out the source of these insects. But for the sake of safety, so as not to let these insects burst out after they really hatch and grow up, turning the Su family into a worm nest, Su Jinyao went to find an old jar.

She brushed the jar inside and out, spread some hay, then put the bamboo tube inside, and sealed the mouth of the jar tightly with two layers of cloth. The cloth can breathe, but I am not afraid of suffocating these eggs. And even if these insect eggs burst the bamboo tube when they grow up, and there is this jar in it, these insects will not crawl everywhere for a while, as long as she pays more attention.

Su Jinyao packed up the bamboo tube containing the insects before going out to fetch water and wash. Calculate the time, it's time to go to the city again. Su Jinyao was stunned when she held the basin of water, remembering that another ten days had passed, and she really didn't know what happened to the escaped autumn shadow.

After washing up, Su Jinyao lay down and fell asleep. Before going to bed, he also took out a pair of small seals (yīn) and yang carvings that he had made in Tie Shou Cen to look at them.

Before, Tie Shou Cen played dumb riddles with her, asking her to find the secret hidden in this seal by herself, and said that he was the only one in the world who wanted to do it. Su Jinyao also looked at it at the time, but she didn't find any doorway, she just thought that this pattern was very chic.

Later, Gu Xuebin found out, so he got a promise from Tie Shou Cen, and Tie Shou Cen promised to help Gu Xuebin build another thing in the future. As for what it is, Gu Xuebin said that he has not thought about it now.

On the way back, Gu Xuebin told Su Jinyao the secret of this seal, saying that the patterns around the word "Ya" around her name actually concealed the word "Ya". It's just a very small seal, which is very delicately written, hidden in the pattern.

And if it is counterfeit, first, it will not be thought of using such a small character hidden in it as a mark to distinguish the real from the fake; Second, even if you think about it, you may not be able to have such exquisite craftsmanship. The crafting book (shēn) of the iron hand cen is a fairly decent signboard, and not everyone can imitate it.

Now looking at the patterns around the word "Ya", Su Jinyao carefully distinguished the place that Gu Xuebin pointed out to her, and found that those seemingly broken and unruly textures were actually well-founded. If you use a special color pen to depict this pattern, there is really a delicate "Ya" character hidden in it.

Such a small word, only about the size of two grains of rice, and hidden in many fine textures, is really ingenious and subtle.

With such a one (yīn) and two seals, it can be burned (rè) as a soldering iron, leaving a unique mark on some hard objects, or it can be stained with cinnabar or ink, leaving a picture mark on the paper, and no one can imitate it, which is really rare.

Su Jinyao took out one of the two seals and stuffed it into a purse with (shēn), along with the remaining silver tickets. I put away my purse and went to sleep.

The next day, after getting up early and having breakfast, Su Jinyao packed everything and the carriage (tào) was ready. Waiting for Master Gu's apprentices and helpers to come, let those helpers quickly load a cart of adobe bricks, and Su Jinyao drove the big black horse to pull the adobe bricks to the foot of the mountain. Unloading the adobe bricks, letting Xiaocheng'er and Gazi drive the goats to transport them slowly, Su Jinyao went home to untie the carriage (tào), and then rode the big black horse to the city.

Along the way, Su Jinyao was still thinking about Qiu Ying. After all, Qiu Ying was taught by her, and she became popular, but now that something suddenly went wrong, she felt uncomfortable.

Because she had something in her heart, Su Jinyao rode a horse very fast. Although I pulled a cart of adobe bricks down the mountain at home and then went out, I didn't arrive much later than usual.

After entering the city, Su Jinyao went straight to the Red Sleeve Fang. As usual, you enter through the back door. Because she is so famous in this red sleeve workshop, as soon as Su Jinyao came, a horse boy who was in charge of the horse took the initiative to help her take the big black horse away.

Su Jinyao glanced left and right in the backyard, in fact, she deliberately looked at the wall she and Xiao Nan had chosen before, wanting to see if the basket she brought last time had been hung. But this time, when I looked over, I saw that the wall was still empty, and there was nothing.

Su Jinyao wondered in her heart: Did Xiao Nan not find time to arrange? Or is the basket already sold out?

Just thinking about it, I saw Xiao Nan come out of it. Seeing Su Jinyao, he said, "My sister Liu, you are here, did you bring the basket today?" Some of the guests have already booked, so I told them that you are coming back at twenty-five, and these girls have been waiting. ”

Su Jinyao knew as soon as she heard it, it turned out that the wall was empty, and it was indeed a basket that sold out last time. Su Jinyao handed over the burden in her hand and said, "Bring a few more than last time, hard work little girl." ”

"It's not hard, I still think it's interesting to sell things (tǐng)." Xiao Nan said, and asked again: "Sister Liu, there are guests who specifically ask you if you look good in the mirror yourself, and others don't look good." I heard that some people think it is strange and are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. I guess I can come today. ”

Su Jinyao said: "There are also, but that kind of mirror can only be picked up by the person who bought the mirror." Different people look different, and this is not enough to just talk. If it weren't for the person who used it to buy it in person, I wouldn't sell it if I was given as much as I could. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I know." So when people come to ask, I always ask them to wait until the fifth, fifteenth, or twenty-fifth days of the new year. said that Sister Liu, you have to see it before you are willing to sell it. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Sister, you are so smart, I have a lot of peace of mind when I hand over these things to you to sell." But there is another thing, there are a few more baskets I brought today, but the extra ones are more expensive than ordinary baskets, one or two silver and a bamboo basket, called a limited edition. That is to say, if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, and there is a certain amount of it to be sold, and very few of it. ”

"A tael of silver!" Xiao Nan was surprised and said, "Good girl, my father sold me to the Red Sleeve Workshop for ten years before I got five taels of silver." But this bamboo basket can be sold for a tael of silver? Isn't that five baskets worth my (shēn) price? ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she was also sad for Xiao Nan. But if you think about it, luxury goods are such a market. In particular, the kind of "zhumen wine (ròu) stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road" (qíng) is simply too common. Isn't this the case in modern times, a (ài) Maas limited edition can buy a (tào) house for ordinary people. But some ordinary people just can't afford to buy a house, so how many (qíng) couples and Lao Yan have flown up?

However, Su Jinyao is now making her own limited edition, so she opened the burden and let Xiao Nan look at the basket inside. Four of them were specially selected by Su Jinyao, and they were compiled by Su Xiangui. Whether it's style or workmanship, it's really top-notch.

Then, Su Jinyao pointed to the inconspicuous and inconspicuous part of the basket that was not easy to wear, and explained to Xiao Nan: "Do you see a seal here?" That's the mark of a limited edition. Only a basket with such a seal with my own hands is worth a tael of silver. Xiao Nan nodded, stared at the small purple-brown mark, and asked, "Sister Liu, I think this is a word, right?" Is it pronounced 'willow'? ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said: "This word is pronounced 'Ya', my surname is Liu, and my single name is a 'Ya' character." So I made a special mark with this word. And there is also a mystery in this mark, which cannot be imitated by other people's homes. ”

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, took a breath and said, "Sister Liu, will anyone really buy such an expensive basket?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said affirmatively: "There will be no two prices, someone will definitely come to buy it." Moreover, in the future, there will be bamboo baskets of two taels of silver, three taels of silver, and five taels of silver. And they are all limited editions, and some may only have this one. ”

After speaking, I saw that Xiao Nan's table (qíng) was really super (ài), and I looked at those baskets as if I didn't know how to take them or how to put them. Su Jinyao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Little girl, thank you for doing me a great favor." If your contract with Qi Niang expires in the future, and you are still willing to help Sister Liu, Sister Liu will open a small shop and ask you to help me sell these things. When the time comes, your benefits will be indispensable. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Xiao Nan's eyes lit up. Then he looked left and right, and quietly pulled Su Jinyao and said, "Sister Liu, I will sell you things well and save all the money you gave me." In less than three years, I will be able to redeem myself (shēn). When the time comes, will you leave me behind and teach me how to sell things? ”

When Su Jinyao was employing people, not to mention that this little girl was really clever. The main thing is that Xiao Nan is still young, and the plasticity (xìng) is also strong. If you start cultivating yourself now, especially if she is dead set on herself, she will definitely be a good helper in the future.

Su Jinyao must be loyal when employing people, and at the same time, she must also have a shrewd mind. Both are indispensable. However, Su Jinyao will never treat the people who help her badly.

For example, the (chūn) girl is an example, originally said that the (chūn) girl would help herself, she would give her three pieces of silver every month, one yuan of silver for four pings, and one more yuan of silver a month later. In other words, if Niu and Siping want to work for her until the second month, Su Jinyao will give them five dollars of silver.

This income is definitely a golden collar in the entire Pingshan Village. So (chūn) Niu was surprised for a long time when she heard the salary given by Su Jinyao.

But just the day before yesterday, Su Jinyao calculated that Niu Niu had also helped her for a long time, and she didn't count whether it was a whole month before she sent her eight coins of silver. At that time, (chūn) Niu also excused herself, saying that Su Jinyao gave too much. Because Siping is the first month, it should be given a penny of silver. And she is the salary of three pieces of silver. The eight pieces of silver were clearly double the wages for the two of them.

Su Jinyao said, "If you are too little, don't ask for it." Because you and Siping have helped our family, it's really more than just this money. But I also said that after the small water shop is covered, I will share your profits, and you will be the proprietress there. ”
