Chapter 191: Preparing Years Ago
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the town is also lively.
In addition, the students of Xishan Academy will also go home after a while, so many family members came in advance, just to catch up with the day to pick up people back. After all, most of the people who can enter Xishan Academy are wealthy, and their families are naturally very careful about their children.
Except for a small number of people whose families are poor and have to smash pots and sell iron to go to school.
Since she bought things that day and went back, Su Wanniang's family has not gone out again.
It's just that after the vegetables were ripe a few years ago, a few carts were pulled over.
In the Qing Town, Fu Bo also sent the money for the previous few dishes, and the price was naturally not low. Compared to the previous price, it is even higher.
Kong Miaoyu and Su Zhengping looked at the fields at home and the money they had accumulated day by day, and they didn't feel much more at ease. In normal times, they would have to worry about the shackles of their grandchildren's enrollment in the coming year.
Now that life is good, everyone in the Su family is very grateful to Su Wanniang, and even sighs that they don't know whether Su Wanniang's growth is good or bad! After all, growing up is too painful, and it is forced to grow up with those tragedies.
I was thinking about Su Wanniang, who was worried, but she was living a very nourishing life.
Because she didn't want to go out and the weather was cold, she now nests at home every day, and when she has nothing to do, she sorts out the herbs and boils the medicine.
Master Shang also asked about medicinal herbs, but Su Wanniang refused, only saying that she had not met the merchant who sold medicinal herbs that time. However, she also asked Fauber to bring a lot of pills and ointments, along with the chilblain cream and so on prepared before.
Within two days, the handwritten letters of Dr. Zhou and Mr. Shang were delivered, and even a lot of things were delivered.
Except for some deposits, because the pills and plasters are really expensive, they did not directly set the price. Mr. Shang proposed with Dr. Zhou that it would be better to divide it according to what was sold.
So, Su Wanniang saw a contract of cooperation in the letter.
Originally, it was a little surprising at first glance, but it was even more surprising when I saw the partition. Actually, it's fifty-fifty!
Originally, I thought that businessmen were heavy on profits, and no matter how they said, it was impossible to score five or five points. Even if the materials were all made by her, and the pills and ointments were also made by her, this division had already exceeded Su Wanniang's expectations.
But when it was sent to the door, she didn't refuse.
She knew better than anyone how effective this pill ointment was. Even, this fifty-fifty split, I'm afraid that the old doctor made a lot of effort from it that week.
Thinking of thanking them, Su Wanniang prepared a festival gift from some years ago, and there was a home-prepared cured meat. There are also some floral pastries and drinks. These are all necessary for Boxing.
I wanted to match some more cloth or something, but I also knew that the situation of the merchant was different, so I guess I couldn't afford to buy it! So, I decided to prepare some vegetables and fruits in the space. Nowadays, it is estimated that it is difficult to find fresh fruits everywhere.
Fruits and vegetables are just fresh, but the Chinese New Year is approaching, and some can be left for a while. Fruit is considered a luxury in winter, so Su Wanniang decided to add a few baskets of fruit.
Of course, she didn't forget the trade route, and she packed it with the medicine and spiritual spring water for the trade route.
Su Wanniang added another ginseng plant each, but there was only one more Ganoderma lucidum that was not far away.
In addition to this, Su Wanniang received a letter from Yue Lilac, bluntly saying that she wanted to make a deal with her, about flowers.
Although she didn't know the details of Yue Lilac's family, she could guess a little bit if Shang Zisu reconciled it. This Yue family must have a background and a backstage, otherwise who can do business in Shangjing safe and sound?
Su Wanniang, who had originally planned to find Shang Zisu to sell potted plants, planned to do business with Yue Lilac.
At the same time, Yue Lilac also allowed Su Wanniang to prepare more facial fat and rouge gouache.
After another ten days, the Su family pulled a carriage out again, and sent it together with the gifts to the Yue family, but the Yue family's gifts were different from the merchants, and the gifts prepared by Su Wanniang were thinner.
However, this trip to the Yue's house even entrusted the dart bureau to deliver the goods.
Potted flowers, rouge gouache, everything can make a woman crazy!
Su Wanniang disposed of the flowers and vegetables in her hands, as well as pills and ointments, and even made the stock rouge gouache and so on, all of which were moved. Her space was empty.
In the blink of an eye, I was busy in a few days.
Once upon a time, I had heard children clapping their hands and singing: Twenty-three, the priest of the stove; twenty-four, sweep the house; Twenty-five, fried tofu; Twenty-six, to cut the meat; Twenty-seven, kill the New Year's chicken; Twenty-eight, shaved fools; Twenty-nine, go and drink; Thirty children, stick to the door god and pinch his nose......
Su Wanniang didn't know the customs of the New Year here, and carefully searched the memories of her predecessor in her mind, only knowing that this person didn't care about anything. Regarding the Chinese New Year, it seems that it is just a family reunion dinner.
It wasn't until she experienced it herself that Su Wanniang realized that it wasn't just like this.
The customs of Sanbao Town in the Tianchu Dynasty are different from those in the north and northwest.
They don't make dumplings here, they like to make some dim sum to eat before the New Year, and in addition, the more important thing is to have a reunion dinner for the family during the New Year.
Because the Su family does not have many relatives, and the Xu family is the same, in Su Wanniang's memory, the reunion dinner is generally not very lively. It seems to be the same as usual, except that there are more meat dishes on the table that I usually eat very little.
With her joining this year, Su Wanniang thought that the weather was cold, so she asked Su Mingzhe to go to the town to find a blacksmith shop to make a copper pot that was enough for the family. The appearance is drawn on paper, and it looks like the charcoal hot pot used in the old capital that I saw in my previous life.
In the middle, there is a chimney-like mouth with ingredients all around, and there is another mouth on the side.
It's easy to look at, and it's not a hassle to fight.
In addition to this, Su Wanniang also asked him to buy more beef and mutton back.
Although the Tianchu Dynasty also attached great importance to agriculture, there were not so many regulations on the consumption of beef. Because there are a lot of cattle in the northwest, and there are venues in various places, it is not a sin to eat cattle and slaughter cattle as she said in the materials she has read before!
Twenty-two years ago, Su Wanniang went to the town in advance.
However, accompanied by Su Mingzhe, because it was the New Year, and the students were twenty-one years old, the town was much empty.
There are no students and their families here, and some of the merchants who do business are closed and tidy up for the New Year.
There are not many people on the street, but there are also people selling things, so Su Wanniang reassured Su Mingzhe that in the end, her belly has passed three months, and the fetus is more stable.
After the two parted ways, Su Wanniang began to shop.
Shopping is a woman's favorite thing, even if you don't really want to buy anything, but looking around is also pleasant.
Because no one was watching, Su Wanniang let go of her hand and bought it. She buys a lot, whether it is a grocery store or a grain and oil store, she buys it freely, and buys whatever she thinks is suitable. In addition, the Chinese New Year is over, and the space is a little empty, so she doesn't mind hoarding.
After buying some things, Su Wanniang asked people to deliver them directly to Su's house, because she bought a lot, so the shopkeeper politely agreed.
There are not many goods in the cloth village anymore, because some people bought materials here a few years ago to go back to make clothes. Su Wanniang bought materials, sewing, shoes and socks, etc., and also bought some ready-to-wear.
