Crossing the Unknown Country

Wang Xiaohu couldn't stop eating it and insisted to take the recipe away. Su He had no choice but to keep it secret, as he wanted to sell the recipe. Wang Xiaohu agreed that he would only let the chef cook it for him when he got home and never leak it to anyone.

Wang Cheng joked, "I don't want it. Brother Xiaohu, you must make it for me when I go."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "You can't eat it often, there are only so many preserved eggs!"

Su He smiled helplessly. She wanted more preserved eggs, but there weren't many this time. She hadn't decided whether to sell them, so she didn't make many. If she made more, Wang Xiaohu would probably keep asking for more.

My brother and his friends haven't eaten it yet. If they like it, we can make more. If Fu Man Lou is launched, the quantity will be huge. Su He decided to see how Fu Man Lou is doing before deciding how much to make.

Su He told them that this can be called preserved egg or songhua egg. After Wang Xiaohu ate it, he felt that the name preserved egg was very appropriate and the texture was very elastic.

Su He's family was getting better and better, and the widow Zhang in the village was so envious that she wanted to arrange for Su He to be married to her son. This girl was so good, she felt that her family had to take her first. If her own daughter had been married long ago, she would have married her son. The boys in the Su family were good, so they could be engaged directly.

Wang Xiaohu and his friends hadn't left yet, and this happened to them. They also watched a strange marriage proposal drama, and it was Xiao Suhe's, which was too outrageous.

Just this morning, a famous matchmaker from another village, Mrs. Zhang, came to the door wearing red and green, twisting her big butt, holding her signature red handkerchief in her hand, and came to the door with a smile on her face.

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Mrs. Zhang pushed the door open with a loud giggle. When she saw Su He in the yard, she covered her mouth with her hands and smiled and praised: "Oh, this is the very smart Miss Su He! Are your parents here? I have something happy for them."

Before Su He could say anything, Grandma Su He came out of the room. Seeing that it was Aunt Zhang, she asked in confusion, "Isn't this Aunt Zhang? Our children are not old enough, why did you bother to come? What kind of happy event is this?"

Mrs. Zhang was not embarrassed at all and laughed loudly: "Aunt Su, this marriage is not about age. If it is suitable, you can get engaged first, and it is not too late to get married when you grow up. It has been betrothed since ancient times when babies are born. This is not a problem. As long as the two children are suitable, it is not a problem."

Grandma Su He had no choice but to wait and see what she would say, who invited her, and which child she was talking to. She didn't know what the meaning was, but she didn't think it was a good thing. Normally, the two families would meet in private first, and then find a matchmaker to mediate. I haven't heard of such a case where a matchmaker would come directly to the door to propose marriage. There are such cases, but they are rare.

Mrs. Zhang continued, "Your daughter is so good, isn't it that everyone is afraid of waiting and getting engaged, so they are in a hurry to find me to propose marriage. You all know this family, they are well-off, have no burdens and only have one child, who is about the same age as your daughter Su He, so it's a good opportunity to get engaged first."

At this time, Su He's parents had been called over from the workshop by Aunt An. Seeing that their mother didn't say anything, they wanted to hear who was so brazen as to want such a good thing.

Grandma Su He looked unhappy and asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. Zhang, just tell us whose family it is. Let us hear it. It's such a good family. We can't even marry into it."

Mrs. Zhang smiled with wrinkles all over her face and said, "It's Gousheng from widow Zhang's family in our village. Their mother is capable and their children are obedient and filial. Since they started raising chickens, their conditions are getting better and better. Their family has little burden and they only have this one son. From now on, everything in the family will belong to Gousheng, and it will be great if no one divides the family property. When the children grow up and get married, Su He will have the final say. Widow Zhang said that as long as they get engaged, they will not lack clothes and festival gifts all year round. This is a good family that you can't find in the surrounding area."

The matchmaker's words are really deceiving. If this family loves money, they would sell their daughter. Unfortunately, she met the Su family. They knew everything. Since the family became wealthy, people often asked about the children's marriage in a roundabout way. The family refused because the children were still young. Who knew that the first person to come to propose marriage was the youngest Su He.
