Charcoal is hard work.

Now it also weighs on the child's shoulders.

Suddenly, Su Qushan felt that he was not human.

Walking back into the courtyard, you can still smell the fragrance wafting in the stove room.

Zhou had already made breakfast.

Su Qushan walked back to the hall and saw Su Tang and Zhou sitting on the opposite side of the table, with porridge in the bowl, a few meat buns on the table, and a plate of pickled radish.

Su Tang held a bun bigger than his face in his hand and took one bite after another.

Looking at the white and tender buns, Su Qushan's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll, this bun seemed to be delicious.

Walk to the room.

Zhou's eyelids lifted up.

said: "Go wash your hands, wash your hands and clean your teeth, and come over for breakfast." ”

"Oh."

Su Qushan turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

I scooped up a basin of water, washed my face, broke a willow branch from a tree, smashed it with a stone, smashed out the crumbs, sprinkled a little salt, and began to puff on my teeth.

Refreshing, refreshing, dry, and clean walked into the hall.

Take a look at the buns on the table.

Su Qushan reached out and pinched one.

"This bun is the same as yours."

"I originally made it."

Zhou said, lowered his head and continued to eat.

……

Su Qushan was very sad, and when he returned home, he didn't feel the enthusiasm that the word home should have.

However, the bun in my hand is delicious, which is probably a kind of comfort.

After breakfast, Su Qushan walked out.

Didn't go out to chop wood this time.

Instead, he walked to the place where Su Moer and Su Qi burned charcoal on weekdays.

Seeing the charcoal kiln standing in the wasteland, Suqushan climbed up and took a look inside.

There's a lot of charcoal in it.

Take it out and take a look, it's better than the carpenter's house burning.

……

Comparing the market, Su Qushan has a bottom in his heart, and a kiln of charcoal can be sold for a lot of money.

I thought the two children were messing around.

Now it seems that his serious work is like nonsense.

pinched a piece of charcoal and walked home, Su Qushan was depressed.

It turns out that he is still not the pillar of the family.

，

。

Su Moer and Su Qi walked to the capital.

This time there were two more people on the bullock cart.

How many more people will there be at the time of the gathering.

However, when preparing for the New Year, there will be more people on the twenty-five, sixth, and seventh days of the lunar month.

"Su girl, have you ever eaten sugar melon? A penny, the size of an eyeball is white, and putting it in the mouth can sweeten the teeth. ”

"I haven't eaten it."

Su Mo'er shook her head.

Sugar melon, she really hasn't eaten it in her life.

But...... I tasted it when I was young in my previous life.

It's too sweet, even if she likes sweets, Su Mo'er can't bear the sweetness of sugar melons.

"I haven't eaten it, and I'll ask your father to buy it for you during the New Year."

"Oh."

Su Mo'er is not a child anymore, and she will not run home to toss with others because of these two sentences.

The people in the car saw that Su Mo'er was not making a fuss.

Not sad.

I felt bored in an instant.

changed the topic and continued to chatter.

For the women of Liujiatun, no matter what the topic is, as long as it is a topic, it will be related to the daughter of the east family, the son of the west family, and whose daughter-in-law has a child.

Maybe...... For these people, there is only one common topic.

If you don't talk about it, you'll be filled with silence, and you can't say whether it's sadness or anything else.

Su Mo'er closed her eyes, arrived at the county seat, and walked step by step.

Coal is selling very well

。 When Su Moer left, she was stopped by the shopkeeper of the small hot pot shop.

"Miss Su, the business in the shop has been much better in the past two days, and the charcoal needed is also more, can Ming'er send more?"

"How much more?"

"Two hundred pounds?"

The shopkeeper tentatively said a number.

Su Mo'er nodded, two hundred catties is almost the amount sold in four or five days, and it's a big deal to hire Deng Datou's ox cart tomorrow.

Sell all the remaining charcoal in the kiln, and you can burn the charcoal from the kiln again.

If it can be sold out before the year. You can buy two catties of more meat, and you can live a delicious year.

It's just that......

Next year, Su Tang will have to study in a private school.

I don't have the money to go to school yet.

After the spring of the New Year, charcoal is afraid that it will not be easy to sell.

After all......

In spring and summer, you don't have to use a brazier for heating.

It is also a place like a hot pot shop that needs charcoal.

"By the way, the charcoal on the opposite side is a little insufficient, I came to ask you about your situation yesterday.

If you have the goods in hand, you can go to the other side for a meeting.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Tong." Su Mo'er and Su Qi glanced at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes at the same time.

Business is coming.

When there is a business at the door, it means that there is money to be earned.

When I walked to Shijin Xuan, it was already full of people.

The decoration of Shi Jin Xuan is very traditional, with scattered seats on the first floor, private rooms on the second floor, and accommodation and rest places on the third floor.

Shi Jinxuan's kitchen uses firewood, not charcoal, for stir-frying.

So if you need charcoal, it's probably two months, and you have to talk about it again next year.

Su Mo'er walked to the counter, glanced at the account room and said, "I am sending charcoal to the other side, and your shopkeeper delivered a message yesterday, saying that he needs charcoal......

"Yo, it's two Su girls, sit down and drink some tea first, and I'll let someone go to the shopkeeper."

The bookkeeper is not very old, and he is flamboyant.

Placed Su Mo'er on a vacant table, and asked people to find the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper of Shi Jinxuan walked down from the upper floor, he was accompanied by a veiled girl wearing white light gauze clothes.

……

Su Mo'er's eyes hurt a little.

This girl in white gauze clothes in winter is very familiar, but don't take everyone for a fool, after all, how to say it, the veil only covers the mouth and nose, and it doesn't cover the whole face, so with personality, the fool can't recognize it, isn't this Wen Jiuniang in front of him - the meatloaf Xi Shi of Xilin Village.

When I walked down from the upper floor, I was sent down by the shopkeeper......

This is a big deal, and Su Moer feels that she is going to become lemon essence.

is also a traverser, people are dressed in white and have no makeup, and when they talk about deep meaning, they are sent directly downstairs, and they are the winners of life, and they ......

Still struggling on the road to food and clothing.

There's just no way to compare people with each other.

Sent Wen Jiuniang away.

The shopkeeper of Shi Jinxuan walked over to Su Mo'er.

"Miss Sue."

"Shopkeeper of the time."

Seeing that the shopkeeper of Shi Jinxuan gave up, Su Mo'er also arched his hand.

"How much charcoal do you need?"

"It takes a lot, to be honest, we have made a new food for Shi Jinxuan, and we may need a lot of charcoal in the future, so if Miss Su has any surplus, just pull it over."

Sometimes the shopkeeper's words, I am relieved, but ...... Do business, there is no basis for words, and you have to make a note when you are tired. ”

"Cheng, how about at least fifty catties of charcoal a day, is it feasible to sign a one-year contract temporarily?"

"Yes."

Su Mo'er answered.

Fifty pounds a day is not much.

But......

Looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper in front of him, it seems that he needs it every day.

There will be no rest in the spring and summer, so that the family will have a stable income, and Su Moer is very satisfied.

Each signed the deed.

Su Mo'er left from Shijinxuan.

Su Qi tugged at Su Mo'er's sleeve and asked, "Sister, what new food does Shi Jinxuan have?" ”

"New ......?" Su Mo'er thought of Wen Jiuniang who walked out from Shi Jinxuan, Wen Jiuniang cooperated with Shi Jinxuan, and Shi Jinxuan needed charcoal......

A lot of charcoal is required, except for barbecue, which is hot pot.

There is a hot pot shop opposite Shi Jinxuan.

Will Shi Jinxuan continue to do hot pot business......

It's really a little uncertain.

After all...... Businessmen are profitable.

"It doesn't matter what he eats, anyway, someone wants our charcoal, and he signed a one-year contract, and after this year, we don't have to worry about our livelihood."

"That's right, let's go buy some eggs to celebrate."

After being brainwashed by Su Moer for a month, Su Qi also degenerated, and began to pay attention to delicious food and fullness.

The two of them bought eggs and glutinous rice, but they didn't have much money in their hands.

Glancing at the remaining two copper plates, Su Qi took a breath.

"From Ming'er, we still have to supply charcoal from two places, and the income will be half more, so we don't have to work so hard."

"Think too much, supply more and burn more, what to say, more chopping wood."

patting Su Qi on the shoulder, Su Mo'er continued: "Let's chop firewood once or twice, we will definitely not be able to continue in the future, we have to hire a long-term worker, according to ten copper plates a day, our income is about the same as now, the only consolation is that we can be more relaxed." ”

"......" Su Qi was instantly dumbfounded.

Obviously, business is going to a better place.

How to make money but not much.

His gaze fell on Su Mo'er.

"Sister, I'm a little confused."

"Confused, then think about it, and don't be confused if you figure it out."

Su Mo'er gently patted Su Qi's shoulder.

Economics is a mysterious and interesting subject, and if Su Qi can continue to study it, he will definitely gain a lot.

In this era, labor costs are low, and life at the bottom is extremely difficult.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Qi was still sullen.

On the way home, Su Qi turned his head suddenly, glanced at Su Mo'er and said, "Otherwise, in the future, let's chop wood and burn charcoal, and we will handle it all, so that we can make a lot of money." ”

“…… Silly or not. ”

Why do you have to do it yourself when you're so tired?

Moreover, by employing long-term workers, we are also providing a job for the society, and we are doing good deeds.

Seeing that Su Mo'er didn't agree, Su Qi stomped his feet and followed behind Su Mo'er helplessly.

When the two men went to the house, they found that their fence had become stronger.

Su Qushan squatted in the corner, holding rattan and wooden sticks in his hands, mending the fence.

After the repair, the fence became stronger.

"Hey, why didn't Dad go to chop wood today?"

"Just ask."

Su Mo'er shook her head and walked towards home.

One glance at the malt that had sprouted nearly two centimeters made him smile.

Once germination is complete, the fermentation process begins.

Su Mo'er was busy with the things in hand, and Su Qi was not idle, standing beside Su Mo'er and watching.
