Chapter 29: Hot Summer

"I really let the third aunt come over, maybe the eldest aunt wants to come over! That's bad. ”

Shen Yunniang smiled a little wryly, "Then, forget it." Hey, I heard that your uncle wants to buy a house in the town, I don't know if it's true? ”

"Will my grandma be willing?"

"You don't understand this, for your cousin to study, where would your grandmother be unwilling. I can't tell, this old house is not far away. ”

Su Tang also knows that in this era, the importance of the eldest son and eldest grandson is irreplaceable.

"Did my fourth uncle come back when the family was separated?"

Shen Yunniang nodded, "This is natural, although your fourth aunt is an only daughter, but at that time, the marriage did not say that your fourth uncle was a concubine, but just let your fourth uncle's second son follow your fourth aunt's surname." Therefore, the Su family's old house is also going to come back. ”

Su Tang pouted, "I don't care about those things, I just think that my father is also the son of the Su family, but there is no compensation when the family is separated." Some of them are just upset for their fathers. ”

Shen Yunniang touched Su Tang's head, "Silly boy, we don't care if we don't talk about those fields, just say that your uncle and uncle have been waiting for the old man for the past twenty years, and these are what they deserve." And your father didn't, so how can he accept this with peace of mind? Of course, relatively speaking, supporting our parents in the future will not be too demanding for our family. ”

Also, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and since you have received it, you will not be spared from the obligation.

"Well, our family doesn't care about this, I think my dad cares about our family the most."

Su Tang immediately threw it away, his father didn't care, why did she bother herself?

The days passed unhurriedly, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was even more uncomfortable for not being able to wear short-sleeved shorts in ancient times.

"Mu Lingchuan, can you buy more saltpeter?"

Su Tang ate the ice porridge in the bowl, his eyes were shining, and Mu Lingchuan was amused when he saw it.

"You want to make ice?" His gaze fell on the ice basin on the case next to him.

There are large pots and small pots, and in the small pots are clear ice cubes, which are made of saltpeter by Sutang today.

"How? It's a hot day, and we probably won't be able to sell for much if we're in the middle of nowhere. It's just that if you go to a big place, such as Fucheng, such as the capital, how can you earn pocket money to spend! ”

Su Tang saw Mu Lingchuan bowing his head and thinking, so he continued to coax and persuade, "I don't believe that the ice cubes stored in the family will definitely be enough!" ”

Without saltpeter ice, there will naturally be other ways to store ice.

It is to take ice cubes and put them in the ice cellar during the cold winter months, and then use them until the following summer.

However, in the hot summer, there will still be times when there is not enough ice.

"You're short of silver?"

Mu Lingchuan's gaze was a little inexplicable, this was not the first time he had asked Su Tang.

Of course, Su Tang's answer was the same, "Who would be afraid of less silver?" ”

Su Tang lowered his eyes and smiled, eating the ice porridge in the bowl with an innocent face, well, cool, sweet, it was so comfortable to eat in summer.

What she said was true, but obviously Mu Lingchuan didn't believe it.

If you have more money, what you want to do will be easy and smooth.

"You just say you can't do this business, right?" If it weren't for the fact that she had no people, no power, and was young, she would definitely do it herself.

Hey, no way, who made her grow slowly!

There is no suspense in this matter, Mu Lingchuan finally agreed to Su Tang's cooperation, just like Su Tang said, no one will be afraid of less silver!

With Mu Lingchuan's funding, Su Tang's family had a cool time this summer.

On this day, Su Tang was washing vegetables, Su Mingjiang came back from the vegetable basket on his back, put down the back basket and washed his face, and then took the mung bean soup handed over by Shen Yunniang.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong"

Su Mingjiang drank a big bowl of mung bean soup in two bites, and then sighed with satisfaction, it was cool and sweet, and it was the coolest to drink at this time.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, and it's a pain to carry around in the ground."

Sitting in a shady place, Su Mingjiang began to pick vegetables, and Shen Yunniang watched their father and daughter busy with their work.

"Fortunately, the ice sent by Brother Mu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand it. I always feel that this year is hotter than usual. ”

Shen Yunniang wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but speak.

She is now three months pregnant, and at this time she is already hot, and it is a June day, so she can't bear the heat.

"Even so, you have to use less ice, you can't get sick now."

"Oh, I know, how many times have you said it, how could I not know?"

Su Mingjiang smiled before saying, "I'm going to buy this vacant land in the east." ”

"Buying land? What are you going to do? Shen Yunniang was stunned, her face was confused, and she didn't know why she had to look at Su Mingjiang.

Su Tang had already thought of it, and looked up at Su Mingjiang, "Dad, are you going to build a workshop?" ”

Only then did Shen Yunniang understand, and looked at the pickle jars in the northwest corner, "Isn't there still a place?" ”

Su Mingjiang's movements in his hands did not stop, and he put the cleaned vegetables next to Su Tang and asked her to clean them, "That's it for this year, there may be many people planting vegetables next year, and then the family will be too busy." ”

"Someone asked you?"

"Well, with the convenience of waterwheels to water the ground, and the vegetable field grows very well, someone asked me, and I don't think there is anything to hide, so someone is ready to plant vegetables next year. There is a market for this pickle now, so I wanted to expand it. ”

"The patriarch also asked me, although pickles can be made in summer and autumn, but it will take a few months, isn't it easier than going to work for a short time? So, I agreed. I thought about building a workshop next to it, finding a few people, and opening it for a few months. ”

Shen Yunniang nodded, she was also willing to help the people in the village, but she couldn't be as enthusiastic as others, and now that she has the opportunity, she will naturally not refuse.

"Okay, you can do this, I can't help anything."

Su Mingjiang saw that his wife agreed, and his daughter nodded and was very happy, after all, it was the people in the village who benefited from the pickle workshop.

Of course, the biggest benefit is still Su Mingjiang's family.

After all, boss, what kind of workshop can you open if you don't make money?

Of course, this is next year's business, and there is no hurry, because of Shen Yunniang's pregnancy, there are not many pickles, and it is enough to maintain two jars of vegetables every day.

As for how to sell it after Mu Lingchuan sent someone to take it away, that was his business.

There are also people in the village who make their own pickles, which are kept for the winter and eaten by themselves.

But after tasting the pickled dishes made by Shen Yunniang, you will feel that there is always something missing.

And the old mansion also ushered in their separation in this hot summer.

Although Su Mingjiang is no longer a descendant of Old Man Su's branch, he was still called over on this day.
