Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

"Wow," followed by another "Wow", the fourth and fifth wives exclaimed in admiration.

"Sister, these dishes look delicious." Si Niang stared at the three dishes.

Wu Niang pointed at the fried cashew nuts and asked, "Sister, what is this? I want to eat it."

"You can't eat now. You have to wait for mom and dad to eat. The rice is not cooked yet.

"It's okay, eat when you want, no need to wait."

When Song Laoer heard what they said, he came to the table and took a look. He was also surprised to see such delicious dishes, but he had never eaten food from a rich family, so this really broadened his horizons.

Song Ersao came out after hearing the noise. Seeing that Si Niang and the other two were almost drooling, Song Sanniang picked up a cashew nut for each of them with chopsticks.

After they finished eating, they chased after Song Sanniang and asked her questions.

"Sister, what is this called? It's delicious."

"Sister, can we still eat this in the future?"

"Sister" "Sister"

Song Sanniang was very patient and answered all the questions from the two people one by one.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner to their heart's content, with laughter and joy heard from time to time.

Song Lao Da

After Song Lao Er and his companions left, Sister Song started to yell and throw a tantrum, and cursed all of Song Lao Er's family members, from the oldest to the youngest, in front of Mrs. Song.

She also scolded Song Chunhua and Song Qiushi for not helping her, which made her very embarrassed.

But Mrs. Song ignored her. After Song Sanniang said that, she really began to think carefully.

She obviously has four children, why isn't any of them around now? It seems that since the eldest daughter-in-law came into the family, the family has been in turmoil.

She didn't like the second son and thought he did nothing at home every day, so she said he had to get married and start a family in the future and couldn't be a man who knew nothing.

She said that she had a relative on her mother's side who was a bricklayer, and she could ask her relative to bring the second son to work with her, so Song Lao Er became a bricklayer.

She didn't like her two sisters-in-law and thought that they should get married when they reached a certain age, so the two sisters-in-law got married in a hurry. However, under the supervision of Mr. Song, the two husbands were people who lived a good life together.

Later, every time they went back to their parents' home, if they didn't have any presentable gifts, Sister-in-law Song would tell Mrs. Song that they didn't care about their parents' home and only knew how to live their own good lives.

Mrs. Song was not happy with her two daughters, and Sister-in-law Song was also weird. Later, the two sisters-in-law never came back.

The more Mrs. Song thought about it, the more frightened she became. The wives of the Song clan leader and the fourth uncle had tried to persuade her, and so had the old man.

Some close relatives in the village have reminded her, explicitly or implicitly, not to just listen to the eldest daughter-in-law. A harmonious family is what matters. The family is not in dire straits, and there is no need to hurt the hearts of other children for trivial profits.

However, the estrangement and conflicts between Mrs. Song and her family deepened over time, and in the end, only Mrs. Song was left with her.

Mrs. Song began to regret her decision, but it was no use regretting. She listened to the noisy voice of Mrs. Song outside and secretly calculated in her heart.

It was a new day and Song Laoer's family were all refreshed. After a simple breakfast, they worked together to make bamboo bowls for a while, and then started to make sweet soup when the time was almost right.

There was no fruit today, so I had to not make fruit jelly. I made 100 bowls of double skin milk and taro meatballs each.

When Song Dazhi came, he brought with him 150 newly made bamboo bowls. Song Laoer gave him the money, and the three of them set off.

As soon as Song Sanniang arrived at the stall today, the stall was surrounded by people, and Qin Haodong and his brother struggled to squeeze in.

After listening to these people talking at once, I learned that many young ladies and ladies in the He Mansion had tasted the sweet soup they made yesterday and liked it very much, so they asked where it could be bought and arranged for the servants to buy it today.

Soon, Song Sanniang's fifty servings of double-skin milk and fifty servings of taro meatballs were sold out, including the shares of Qin Haodong and his brother, who also helped very hard.

At this time, He Cai came to buy, still with small rapeseed. As soon as he came, he smiled and said, "Business is good today, it's sold out so quickly."

Song Sanniang took out the food box and gave it to Xiao Caizi. "All of these were sold today thanks to the blessing of the He Mansion. Thank you, Uncle He. I will think of a new dessert to make for you someday."

He Caimai happily accepted it. He settled the remaining 800 coins from yesterday and gave it to Song Sanniang. He also took out a five-liang silver ingot and gave it to her. "This is a reward from the eldest lady of the mansion. Take it."

Song Sanniang was a little shocked. This was too much. He Caimai urged her to take it, "Come on, come on, take it quickly." Song Sanniang thanked him again before accepting it.

"You, think of some new ideas. I will help you to speak well of you in front of the young lady." He Caimai said nonchalantly.

Because he was also the one who made a profit, he did a good job this time. Throughout the banquet, the things he bought were perfect, and everyone praised the dishes.

The eldest lady directly promoted him to the position of deputy general manager and rewarded him with ten taels. The eldest lady also rewarded him with five taels and a gilded abacus. He was so happy that he laughed in his dreams.

After He Caimai left, people continued to come to buy the sweet soup. Song Sanniang had no choice but to ask them to go to the West Market to find Song Laoer's stall to buy it. She also called Qin Haodong and the others to help. She bought the ingredients in the market.

Buy the fruits first. Since we have sold out the eggs from Sister Cuihua, Sister Song will buy those from other people in the village.

Thinking about the meal I had at home yesterday, I felt a little greedy. So I bought some vegetables and planned to go back and ask Mrs. Song to make a delicious meal.

After Song Laoer finished selling the sweet soup, he came to find Song Sanniang. Song Sanniang's backpack was already full, so she went back to the stall to get the bamboo basket. The father and daughter then went to the grain and oil store and bought sugar, glutinous rice flour, and osmanthus honey.

The sugar water sold out so quickly today that many people didn't get any. Some people ordered it for the next day. Song Lao Er and Song San Niang have already received 50 to 60 reservations. According to the current volume, they will have to prepare 300 bowls a day.

The father and daughter sold out the dessert much earlier today. Song Dazhi had gone to see the guests off and had not returned yet. It would still be a long time before Song Zuen finished his get out of class, so the father and daughter found someone to take the two of them back first.

The two of them walked back along the mountain road. Song Sanniang was out of breath as she hadn't walked on the mountain road for a while.

When she got home, her clothes were all wet. Song Ersao helped her take out the things on the backpack. Song Laoer had already carried the heavy things himself when he walked on the mountain road.

Song Sanniang's backpack was filled with the vegetables she bought today. She bought half a chicken, five cents of lean meat, four pieces of tofu, and a loofah.

Mrs. Song took a quick look at the dishes and the menu for dinner came out.

Use half a chicken, chicken neck, chicken offal and lean meat to make a loofah soup, use the chicken to make scallion chicken, and use the tofu to make fried tofu.

After Song Lao Er put away his things, he did not sit idle and started making bamboo bowls. Song Ersao also went to help.

She suddenly said, "Mother came today and said that the rice in the fields should be harvested. The rice in the fields we divided belongs to us and does not need to be handed over to the government."

Song Lao Er was a little surprised, but he was also a little happy: "This way we can save some money on buying rice, but we still have to buy 100 kilograms of rice tomorrow."

He thought for a moment and said, "We don't have time to harvest the rice this time, so we have to ask someone to help. And as for Mom, I don't know when my eldest brother will be back. I have to go and ask him tomorrow. If he doesn't have time to come back, I'll ask someone to harvest the rice as well."

Song Ersao asked, "Who do you want to invite?" Song Laoer asked back, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Song said worriedly, "I want to invite my eldest brother and his family, as well as Cuihua's family, but I don't know where my brother and his family went these days, and they haven't come back yet."

"Don't worry, you've been gone for so many days, it's time to come back. Ask Da Zhuang first if he wants to come and help. I'll give him ten cents a day, including a meal."
