Chapter 191 Following the Su Family's Footsteps

If we go to the town with Su Mu and the others, we won't have to walk a long way to the neighboring village to ride Old Man Wei's ox cart.

Just have to work harder and get up earlier.

The head of the village looked at what Old Man Su brought. The sweet potato flour was made in their own workshop and was not cheap.

And those two packages of cakes, you can tell at a glance that they were bought from the snack shop in town, most people can't even afford them even if they want to.

It's nothing to just help with this little bit.

Moreover, he naturally had to give some face to the Su family. The head of the village responded with a smile and even sent Old Man Su to his doorstep.

After Old Man Su walked away, the head of the village closed the gate and then slowly began to think about the sandy land that the Su family wanted to buy.

Since the Su family wants to buy it, they must have seen the value in it. Although the head of the village himself can't quite see through it, he believes that the person who could make Su He like it must be someone extraordinary.

It would be better for his family to buy some as well, and then he can plant whatever the Su family plants.

Think about the corn and sweet potatoes planted by the Su family this year. The harvest has doubled. It is always right to follow the Su family.

Anyway, sandy land is not expensive, and my family can afford to buy some. It’s a good opportunity for us to go to the county government office tomorrow to get our own land deeds done, so that we don’t have to make another trip later.

After Old Man Su had finished his work, he happily hurried back home, wanting to tell everyone in the Su family about it as soon as possible.

He had no idea that the village head had also bought more than ten acres of sandy land with him, and that it would be difficult to find an acre of sandy land in Yunli Village the following year.

Old Man Su was walking back from the headman's house to his own home. Along the way, he met many people from the village, and everyone greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

"Is there any happy event at home?"

"Uncle, thank you so much, I will be the first one to go to your house in the spring to learn how to grow sweet potatoes!"

Last time, the village head notified every household that anyone who is willing to grow sweet potatoes with the Su family next year can go to the Su family and learn from them.

No money is charged, and when the harvest is ready, the sweet potatoes can be sold directly to the Su family’s workshop without having to worry about not being able to sell them.

This is a great thing. Now most people in the village are very grateful to the Su family, and they have decided to allocate two more plots of land to grow sweet potatoes in the spring of next year.

They had seen with their own eyes the Su family's harvest of corn and sweet potatoes this year. They also planted them along with the Su family, so they were sure that the harvest would not be bad.

Old Man Su nodded to everyone one by one. Now when he walked out, even people in the surrounding villages could recognize him.

Knowing that he was the Su family member who opened a workshop, they often asked him whether he also collected sweet potatoes from other villages.

Everyone is very friendly.

"Ah He, old lady, I'm back."

As soon as Old Man Su returned to the Su family, he entered the main room, sat down and drank a sip of water. Then he took out the remaining silver from buying the land from his arms and handed it to Old Lady Su.

"I bought ten acres of prime farmland and fifty acres of wasteland, spending fifty-five taels of silver in total. This is the remaining money."

Su He nodded when he heard this. This was not too much. He could save some money next year and buy a few more acres.

Fortunately, the village head didn't hear what Su He was thinking, otherwise he would have jumped up.

Ten acres of top-quality farmland and fifty acres of sandy land, is that not enough?

If these were rented out, I could definitely become a small landlord.

"The head of the village said that he will go to the town with me tomorrow morning to get the land deed."

Old Man Su told Su He what he had just agreed with the head of the village.

"Okay, it's better to do it sooner. I'll go with you guys tomorrow. I just need to go to Qianweilou to see how the preserved eggs are selling."

The first batch of preserved eggs was sent to Qianweilou, and then the autumn harvest came. Su He has not been to the town since then.

A few days ago, when Su Mu went to set up a stall, she delivered some of them over. When she came back, she didn't hear Su Mu mention anything. She still had to go and see it in person to feel at ease.

She has put a lot of thought into making this preserved egg. If it is successful at once, it will boost sales.

Now she didn't hear any movement and she was really worried. It was a good opportunity for them to go to the town together tomorrow to check the situation.

Old Man Su nodded and agreed that it would be fine for Su He to go with him. He would feel at ease knowing that Su He could help him make decisions if anything happened.

Just as they finished talking, they saw the gate of the Su family courtyard opened, and Su Zhiyan and Lu Yunqi walked in together.

Su He saw that it was getting late. Since she had invited Lu Yunqi and Yunrong to have dinner together tonight, she went into the kitchen and started washing rice and cooking.

Two more people meant two more handfuls of rice. Now that the Su family's situation is better, the porridge doesn't need to be cooked as thin as before, so thin that you can see a person's reflection in it.

Moreover, the Su family is a farming family. All the work in the fields and workshops requires physical effort. If the soup is boiled into a thin liquid, it is just like drinking water to fill you up.

Moreover, Su He likes to eat thick soup, which is delicate, refreshing and filling. Paired with homemade side dishes, she feels very comfortable.

Su He kept some bamboo shoots that he dug up from the back mountain today, and planned to make some braised bamboo shoots in oil in the evening. Everyone in the Su family loves it, it is crispy and delicious.

There is also a duck in the backyard, which Su Xiaoyun brought back when Su Dawu and his friends went to Xujia Village to collect duck eggs two days ago.

I brought it back and kept it in the backyard. It just so happened that Su Zhiyan and the others were about to return to the academy, so I stewed it to provide them with a good nourishment.

I was worried that it would be a bit greasy if I stewed it, so I decided to make ginger fried duck. This dish is spicy and appetizing, and the soup is very rich. It is delicious when mixed with rice or noodles.

Lu Yunqi and Yunrong have been eating at the Su's house more often, and have started to eat spicy food as well. Now they can't live without spicy food.

It’s just right for making this ginger fried duck.

Su He called Su Danian and asked her father to help deal with the ducks in the backyard.

Standing under the eaves, thinking that the food was not enough, Su He got up and looked in the stone trough in the yard. Usually, the fish that Su Bai and his friends caught but could not eat were kept here.

Su He took a look and found that there were a few palm-sized crucian carps here, which would be perfect for making braised crucian carps.

Just then, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo came back from the vegetable garden and picked half a basket of vegetables.

Su He took a look, washed it, fried some Chinese cabbage, stewed a plate of pumpkin, and finally made an egg soup.

Okay, Su He looked at the prepared dishes and thought that these should be enough to eat.

"dinner time!"

Everyone looked at the fried duck with ginger placed in the middle of the table. The smell drifted straight into their noses. It was so fragrant.

Su Chi stretched his little head and took a deep breath towards the table. He now felt that he could at least eat one more bowl of rice tonight.

His elder sister's cooking skills are getting better and better. He feels that he has become a picky eater. When he goes out to eat, he thinks the food outside is not as delicious as Su He's.
