Stew lamb bone soup for more than an hour or two so that it can have a flavor.

Before dawn, the Qin family got up early to go to the town, and the young woman sat next to the man, tearing cakes for the man next to him to eat.

When the man is full, he will take a small bite by himself.

As soon as she wiped her hands clean, a large hand reached over and grabbed her wrist and stretched it to her waist in her clothes.

Suddenly, some cold hands warmed a little.

Su Yan raised her head slightly, leaned on his shoulder with a smile, and the man lowered his eyebrows to look at her, and then looked at the front with the corners of his mouth raised.

When they arrived at the shop, the two of them were busy, Su Yan boiled mutton soup, and Qin An kneaded the flour.

When the morning dawned, the smell of mutton soup wafted through the town, and many people glanced over here several times.

I found that the shop that used to sell cakes now sells others, and an uncle came over and stood and said, "Sister, what are you selling now?" It's so fragrant, you can smell it from afar. ”

"Pimple soup, do you want a bowl?" Su Yan said enthusiastically.

"How much is a bowl?"

"Small bowls, twelve for seven wen, sixteen for ten wen in large bowls, and one bowl can be added for free after drinking the mutton soup."

"Is it lamb bone soup?"

The uncle wanted to eat a little, but it was too expensive, seeing this, Qin An used a shovel to scoop up the big bones and show him, "The wild sheep that I hunted in the mountains before." ”

Seeing the real goods, the uncle couldn't help it, "Cheng, give me a small one, see if it's delicious and add it." ”

Hearing this, Qin An put a lump in the white water pot, one is the size of a big finger, and ten bowls are not less.

"Want greens? It's not good to put in the green vegetable soup. ”

"No, I'll just take this lamb soup."

The big man sat by the door, waiting for the lamb soup pimple to come up, he took a bite, his eyes lit up, and said: "Your pimple soup is really good, cook a bowl for me again, and I will call my mother-in-law to come and eat." ”

"Done." Su Yan took another empty bowl and put it on the stove.

One came and there was a second, and after a while the shop was full, and finally a makeshift shelf was erected on the street.

A large pot of mutton soup was left before noon, and the bones were finally packed and taken home to feed the family dog.

At this time, someone came in and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, Grandpa, come back tomorrow." Su Yan helped Qin An next to him wipe the ashes on his clothes.

"I just heard that you have pimple soup here that is delicious, so I brought a basin to buy it for my wife." The wooden basin in the old grandfather's hand.

"The flour is still a little, but the mutton soup is gone, and it doesn't taste good when cooked.

Su Yan saw that he was old, and said, "If you are in the town, I will send it to you, so you don't have to make a trip." ”

The old grandfather suddenly nodded with a smile, "My house is in the town, the second one on South Street, how much money I have, I'll give it to you first." ”

"Don't worry, I'll give it tomorrow." Su Yan signaled no.

After he left, the two of them closed the door of the shop, saving no one from hearing from him.

Su Yan will cook the remaining flour and eat it, "Xianggong, you clear the money and see how much you have earned today." ”

Hearing this, Qin An bent down and took out the basket under the board, a large pile of scraped copper coins, and poured them on the table to count,

sold more than 700 wen, excluding the 100 wen of flour, and made more than half a tael of silver.

He picked up the pen and staggered it in the ledger.

"Earn more than 600 yuan."

"Stew more soup tomorrow, there are still a lot of bones at home, and when the stew is finished, I will stew the pork bone broth."

Su Yan walked over and took a look, looked at the words on the account book, thought of something, and said, "Xianggong, do you miss the big characters?" ”

Hearing this, Qin An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't want to." ”

"Don't want to read at home?"

Su Yan didn't make fun of him, sat next to him, and said: "There is a private school in the town, you will go to study in the afternoon, and I will wait for you in the shop." ”

"Don't let you show off your talents, it's good to know a few more words."

"In the future, I can also teach children to read big words."

As long as he is willing, it is a good thing to read words, and the dealer does not mean that he does not know a big word.

Being more literate will be somewhat useful in the future.

Qin An naturally missed the big characters, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Reading is expensive. ”

The tone is obviously reluctant to pay money.

"It's expensive, and the family can afford it." Su Yan did not hesitate at all.

She didn't wait for him to speak again, "We'll go to the private school and ask when we have dinner." ”

Seeing the rough man looking straight at her, she leaned over and kissed him, "String up the copper coins to eat." ”

"Daughter-in-law, I'm not going."

Qin An felt uneasy when he thought that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, and no one was watching in the afternoon.

After speaking, the string of copper coins, a string of 100 wen.

Su Yan didn't say anything, after eating, she pulled Qin An, "Go out and buy something." ”

Qin An untied his waist seal and said in a low voice: "Okay." ”

When she was in the market before, Su Yan saw a private school, which was in the alley near the edge of the town.

Listening to the child's immature reading, Qin An's footsteps stopped, and he said complicatedly: "Daughter-in-law......"

"It's all here, ask." Su Yan pulled him away, Qin An didn't dare to force her, so he had to follow her into a private school.

The private school is estimated to be an old master, who is teaching children to read.

There are people of several ages and teenagers.

After about a quarter of an hour, the old master came out of the house, and when he saw Qin An and his family, he thought they were coming to see the baby, so he said casually: "Let's go in and see." ”

Su Yan called out to him, "Master, do we want to ask how much money is for studying?" ”

"How old are your babies?" The old master subconsciously thought it was their child.

"No, it's my father-in-law who came to study, know a few big characters, and keep the accounts of the shop in the future." Su Yan explained.

The old master looked at the tall strong man in front of him a little strangely, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and it was not strange for him to say that the woman next to him came to study.

He didn't believe it: "Are you going to study?" ”

Qin An pursed her lips and wanted to say no, but her daughter-in-law scratched her palm, and finally said "um".

The master couldn't help but stroke his somewhat short beard, and said after a while: "You can read it, but you have to obey the rules when you go to the school." ”

"You can't beat the master."

Su Yan couldn't cry or laugh, "Master, don't worry, my family has a good temperament." ”

"That's okay, pay five taels of silver for half a year, buy pen and ink by yourself, and ask for half a tael of silver for books."

The master was afraid that they would not know the money for studying, so he said: "The pen, ink and paper cost about two or three taels of silver, and I have to go to the county seat to buy it." ”

As soon as he heard that he wanted to talk about so much silver, Qin An just wanted to say something, and the daughter-in-law next to him should come down, "Cheng, we will give the silver money later." ”

"Trouble the master, teach me to be a husband with all my heart."

The master nodded and said, "Cheng, I'll come over later." ”

He suddenly remembered something, and looked at the man who was taller than a man, "The children in the private school are a little naughty, don't beat them." ”

The current baby is not easy to teach, and often plays tricks on people.

He can still bear it, but this man can't bear it when he looks at it.

Qin An said "um", and when the master left, he looked at the woman's pretty little face, and discussed with her softly: "Daughter-in-law, wait for two years before reading." ”

"It's the same now, I still have money at home."

Su Yan paused, and said seriously: "You are willing to buy me a dozen taels of rouge, and I am also willing to let you study." ”

"Xianggong, you can hunt for a lifetime, but you can't be a hunter for a lifetime."
