Chapter Twenty-Six: Delivering Food to Your Door
That small jar of crab sauce earned a lot of money for Lao Litou.
Lao Li Tou is a grateful person, he not only sent a knife of big fat, but also brought good news.
The county in the city gave birth to a son, and he wanted to have a big feast. The green vegetables used for the banquet, Lao Li Tou won it over, and asked the Su family to send it.
This deal is done, and you have to make a lot of money! You have to have a silver tael anyway.
Su Zhang's carefully served the vegetable garden, pulling weeds, watering, and catching insects himself. If Su Shan and Su Zhong stayed in the vegetable garden for a while, she would drive people away. It's like this vegetable garden is her family, and they belong to someone else's.
If the vegetable leaves are bitten by insects, she will scold them for a while, and she will curse the insects' previous life and previous life.
On the day of the big day, the Su family got up in the middle of the night, lit torches, stepped on the moonlight, and picked the greens in the vegetable garden. Take it to the river and wash it and put it in the basket one by one.
The donkey carried two large baskets, Su Zhang carried the big burden, and Su Zhong and Su Shan took turns to carry the small burden.
When they reached the city gate, the city gate was not yet opened. Like others, lay down your burdens and wait for the gates to open.
"Where are you going to deliver food?" The man who leaned forward asked.
The man leaned on a cart with sturdy black tiles tied to it. The cow pulling the cart chews cow grass, honest and honest. On the other hand, the donkey of the Su family is not ordinary, and he is very angry when he raises his head.
Su Zhangshi wiped his sweat, took the kettle handed by San'er, took a sip and said, "The county lord is not a happy event today, I will wait for the lord to congratulate him." ”
"Hey, I'm afraid you won't be able to go." The man's face was mysterious, which made Su Zhang's heart flustered.
"Big brother, don't say that. Why can't you go? ”
"Let me tell you, today is not only your family to deliver food, but also the mainland in my village to deliver food. I was sent in last night. ”
Su Chong and Su Shan surrounded him, wanting to hear more clearly.
"Let me tell you, the son of the county lord was born to a concubine. The county lady was not happy to fiddle with this wedding wine, and everything that the concubine had set was all changed yesterday. You're afraid it's no fun! ”
Su Zhang was shocked, looking forward to the past few days, and the joy of the idea that was about to come true. At the end of the day, a basin of cold water poured her, telling her the reality that was difficult to accept.
The heart sinks like a stone into water. If you don't touch the ground, you don't go ashore, and you don't know the bottom of your heart.
Su Shan didn't know what was going on, Su Zhong was very worried, and Su Lingyu's face was gloomy.
Su Lingyu held her mother's hand and gave her strength to let her not be afraid.
Su Zhang's face hardened, "No matter what, I still have to ask, thank you big brother for informing me." ”
"I advise you to go to the vegetable market to sell, don't go over to scold." "Yo, the gates are about to open, so I won't tell you."
Walking again, Su Zhang's footsteps were not as brisk as they came, and they urged the children when they did not come.
Su Lingyu was worried, if it was really as the outsiders said, the county lady was in charge, I was afraid that she would not want the green vegetables that were originally set.
The county housekeeper did not give a deposit, and the family not only wasted a lot of energy, but also was pushed and abused by the county housekeeper.
Instead of this, it is better to go to the morning market, grab a good position, and let the stewards of each province choose, and maybe get some money.
Their own green vegetables are cultivated by Lingquan, and the taste and quality are the best, and no one can say wrong.
In Liangguan City in the early morning, many people were still asleep. Few people walked, and when they entered the East Street, they saw a woman with a bag of hair wrapped in her face, carrying a large basket running by.
The contents of the basket were wrapped in blue and black cloth, and they looked a little sunk and didn't know what they were.
No one paid much attention, only the curious Su Shan kept staring at her, and his gaze shifted with her until the woman ran past her.
Su Zhang's head drooped, uneasy. The closer I got to the county mansion, the more worried I became, for fear that the reality would be as I imagined.
What if the county government doesn't want it? Make a big fuss and force them to buy it?
It's impossible to make a big noise, and the county is not a neighborhood in an alley, so it's not enough to be noisy.
Before I arrived, I saw a sturdy girl wearing a red plum seal dress running over, her body was horizontal, her eyes were glaring, and she was so majestic.
People say that there are seven officials in front of the prime minister, and even this little county girl has such an official frame.
"Why did you come here? The people in the back kitchen are waiting for you, delaying the full moon banquet of the adults and skinning you. ”
Babble! What's going on? Don't you say no?
Su Zhang was also preparing to go back and thinking about the words to explain to his mother-in-law.
"You...... I ......" Su Zhang suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"What are you, come here."
The girl walked quickly, and Su Zhang's did not doubt him, so he hurried to catch up. Su Zhong carried the burden and caught up again and again, and Su Shan led the donkey and walked a few steps faster.
However, the little doll Su Lingyu was a few steps behind. It's a strange thing, some people say no, but there are people waiting here.
With her little hands behind her back, she thought about it back and forth, and always felt that someone was maliciously causing trouble. If the Su family does not deliver the vegetables, but transfers them to the vegetable market to sell.
not only caused the unhappiness of the county zun, but also hated the relationship between Lao Li Tou and the county zun family, and even the Su family was hated by Lao Li Tou.
The man who sells tiles is uneasy and kind.
Isn't it a cheap dad outside, offending anyone? Or who Lao Li has offended, someone wants to take advantage of the incident here to bring disaster to Lao Li Tou.
Standing at the back door of the county mansion, looking inside and counting the money. The steward took out one or two pieces of silver from the purse of the embroidered mandarin duck and gave it to Su Zhang's family like a charity.
Su Zhang's face was flattering, he dismantled a string of copper coins, and took out more than 100 pieces to give to the steward. The steward would have laughed and said two nice things, implying that she was too busy to keep anyone behind.
Su Zhang's knowingly took the child out of the door, and when he saw San'er by the door, he knew that San'er didn't like the scene just now, so he smiled, "I let you see it." ”
Su Lingyu glanced at her, if she really didn't want her to see it, she wouldn't let her follow.
Su Chongyi picked her up, put the donkey on its back, and led the donkey rope, "Let's go, go home." ”
Touching the silver in his arms, Su Zhang's heart was as sweet as honey, his steps were light, the corners of his lips changed from the original sagging, and the corners of his lips were never put down.
"How about buying some red wine?" Su Zhangshi said to her, "The crab sauce you made last time was delicious, why don't you get more this time?" ”
"Whatever you need, tell your mother, this silver has your credit."
Su Lingyu smiled with a small face, "You...... Not distressed? ”
Su Zhang's chuckled, his mind turned and turned, shouldn't San'er cost a lot of copper money?
Turning his head and thinking about it, San'er has been thinking about this family since he was a child, and he knows that his family is in difficulty, so he will not spend more money to buy things that are not needed. A frozen smile rippled, "You have some pity on your mother." Save some flowers. ”
Looking at this, Su Lingyu laughed and laughed silently, and kicked the donkey's belly to drive the donkey to go faster.
When you get the money, your wishes come true, and no matter who you are, your feet are bigger.
