Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He picked a pair of earrings for herself, a small plain silver hoop, simple but able to fulfill her father's wish. She helped her father choose a twisted silver bracelet for her mother, which was very practical and beautiful to wear. Su He also asked her father to buy a pair of earrings, so that her mother would have two pieces of jewelry. After all, silver jewelry can be exchanged for money in this era. When the critical moment comes, you can take it off and exchange it for money to save your life. The shopkeeper directly gave a discount and then eliminated the decimal point, and collected a total of fifteen taels of silver. He also gave Su He three small silver bells, and Su He could wear a small bracelet by himself.

Su He's father happily paid the money and asked the shopkeeper to thank Master Wen. The two brothers were also very happy. Their mother and sister had never worn jewelry before, but this time they finally had it. Su He's father was not partial. He took his two sons to several nearby stores and let them choose something they liked. In the end, the eldest brother Su Feng bought a knife and the second brother Su Run bought a small sword. They have been practicing martial arts recently and always feel empty in their hands. Their family also lacks self-defense items. As a man, he must have his own weapons.

Su Feng put it directly on his waist, while Su Run took it directly in his hand. Su He looked at his two brothers and they actually looked like little martial artists. Although he knew how to read and write since he was young, he mostly did farm work, so he didn't have that much of a scholarly air. Now that he practiced martial arts, he had more of a heroic air.

Su He picked a gift for her father, a pair of boots. She saw that all the wealthy men here wore short boots with leather trims, which were practical and handsome. Her father would come to the city to do business often in the future, so he should learn to dress like the city people. When she earns more money in the future, she will buy a pair of boots for her brothers. As they grow older, they will also need decent clothes and shoes.

As for clothes, they still had a lot of cloth at home, so they only needed to buy one set of outerwear. They went to the clothing store together and bought a set of clothes for each of them, including their mother's. They would change into them when they came to the city again. They needed to integrate into the city as soon as possible, as they might have to live here in the future.

Su He’s life motto in the past was that if you have money, you shouldn’t compromise yourself. Otherwise, what’s the point of working so hard to make money?

The family returned to their new home happily. They also had a family in this city. They talked and laughed all the way back. When they got home, they remembered that they didn't have rice, flour, oil and seasonings. The two brothers asked their father and Su He to wait at home, and they went to buy some together. After they sold the house, they asked Qin Ming about this place. They walked from the alleys and turned a few alleys to the main street. There were food and seasonings for sale nearby, so they could buy everything at once.

Seeing that there was not much firewood, Su He's father told Su He to bring some from home next time, as it would be a waste to buy firewood. Su He smiled and said, we still have some charcoal in the car, we can take some down to burn on the kang and cook, after all, it's still cold now. They all lived together today, and they could all sleep on a big kang, otherwise it would be a waste of firewood and charcoal.

They heated up the kang at home and rested directly in the house. They were very busy today. Finally they could sit down and she talked with her father about their future plans.

There should be more people coming here in the future. The houses here cannot be left unoccupied for a long time, otherwise it will attract thieves. They need to discuss and find some more sales channels for the noodles, and can't just rely on the people in the inn. Such a good thing should be liked by many people, and it is also very convenient to make. It is very popular nowadays.

Also, bring some more of your own tofu products. Shopkeeper Wu of Fu Man Lou also asked for more. Su He thought the dry goods store would probably ask for some too. He would ask next time. Anyway, they still needed to walk around and look around more.

The two brothers came back with some food, and Su He made a dumpling soup, adding two eggs that he brought with him, and beat them into egg flowers. He put a handful of dried vegetables from the car, a little salt and soy sauce, and sesame oil to season it, and it was fragrant and hot. There was also the steamed buns that he baked next to the stove, which were already fragrant. Each person had a big bowl and it was very comfortable to eat.
