Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Today, Song Zuren no longer needed Song Sanniang's help. He skillfully arranged the items and started shouting.

Maybe it was the money they earned yesterday that motivated them, or maybe it was because they had a whole day yesterday to pick snails, so today Song Zuren had one more bucket of snails than yesterday.

So Song Sanniang's sweet soup was sold out, but his was not.

Song Sanniang had no choice but to go and do her own thing first, and when he finished selling, she would go to the waiting area for Song Dazhi to pick her up.

Song Sanniang had a lot to do today. She had to deliver sugar water to the fishmonger, get the mooncake box, butter, and the remaining saltpeter.

She found Song Dazhi, told him where she was going, and set off.

Song Dazhi took the note and went to get saltpeter, while Song Sanniang gave the aunt some sugar water.

The old lady was still muttering that she had forgotten about it, and she held Song Sanniang's hand tightly and refused to let go. Song Sanniang had to use all her strength to get away.

She got the butter herself and then met Song Dazhi at the gift shop.

When she arrived at the gift shop, Song Dazhi was waiting at the door.

Song Sanniang entered the store and immediately saw Manager Yan writing and calculating at the counter.

She went up to him and said hello, "Boss, I'm here to pick up a custom-made box." Then she took out a note and gave it to him.

Shopkeeper Yan looked up and said, "It turns out to be you, little girl."

He took the note, glanced at it, and then said,

"Everything is ready and placed in the backyard. I'll ask the servant to take it out for you. What are you going to take back?"

Only then did Song Sanniang realize that she seemed to have overlooked hundreds of mooncake boxes. She wondered if an ox cart was big enough to carry them all. Moreover, the cart also had to carry baskets and buckets, and several people had to sit on it.

“Will one bullock cart be enough?”

She then added, "There won't be enough space on the cart to carry baskets and buckets."

Shopkeeper Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is your home?"

"Songjia Village."

"That's not far. How about this? I'll have the delivery guy from the store bring it to you. He'll follow behind your car."

Song Sanniang thanked him quickly, and then asked, "How much is the fare? I'll pay for it."

Shopkeeper Yan walked out of the counter and led Song Sanniang to the backyard.

"No need. I see that it's not easy for a little girl like you. I haven't seen your parents show up. Where are your parents?

By the way, you need to check to see if there are any problems with the goods. If there are no problems, I will arrange for loading."

Song Sanniang felt that there were still many good people in this world. She thanked Shopkeeper Yan again and replied,

"My parents have their own things to do. This is something I want to deal with by myself. I can handle it by myself."

Then she saw that her mooncake boxes were all put together. She counted them and randomly picked one to look at. She felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

Then he said to Shopkeeper Yan, "I have checked everything. There is no problem. Please arrange the loading."

Then she asked curiously, "There are so many of them stacked together, can't one car load them all?"

Shopkeeper Yan smiled and said, "Didn't the master tell you at that time?

These are all detachable. The wooden boxes are installed with mortise and tenon joints, and the paper boxes can also be disassembled.

When we load the goods later, if there is not enough space, we can dismantle some of the remaining parts and then load them after unloading the goods."

Song Sanniang suddenly realized that this was better. It would be better to leave professional matters to professionals.

She went outside and told Song Dazhi that the delivery truck would be following behind them.

Then, in order to save time, she settled the remaining money and helped to load the goods.

Shopkeeper Yan looked at her and nodded repeatedly, thinking in his heart that this girl could accomplish great things, she was bold and capable, and she had a sharp eye and a lot of ideas in her head.

The guys worked quickly and loaded the goods in no time.

Song Sanniang got on Song Dazhi's ox cart and started off.

I passed by Song Laoer's stall and picked him up.

Then they returned to the waiting place, where Song Zuren was already waiting, so the two cars drove towards Songjia Village.

The two cars were heading to Song Laoer's house. Although the car behind was covered with a layer of cloth and tied tightly with ropes, it was still full. The villagers who saw it were talking about it.

"What is the Song family going to do now? What is that car?"

"Who knows?"

"Wait and ask?"

"No, you go if you want to."

"I'll go if I want to. It's no big deal."

The person who was talking actually followed the car toward Song Laoer's home, and other curious villagers also followed to watch the fun.

Noticing the people following behind, Song Sanniang had never seen such a scene before, so she could only ask Song Laoer, "Dad, are we just going to let them follow us like this?"

"It's okay. Let them follow. When they get off the car, drive directly into the yard, with the front of the car facing the outside and the back of the car facing the utility room, and unload the goods directly into the utility room."

When they arrived at Song Laoer's house, the delivery man parked the car as Song Laoer had said, and then began to unload the goods.

Song Lao Er went out to deal with the villagers.

Song Sanniang cleaned the mold for the lava cake, while Song Ersao started to prepare dinner.

Si Niang and Wu Niang were called by Song San Niang to run errands. They wanted to ask their aunts and uncles to make coconut milk and black sesame paste. The two of them happily left together, carrying the black sesame seeds.

Soon, the two delivery guys finished unloading the goods. Song Sanniang brought them some water. After they finished drinking, they were about to leave. Although Manager Yan said they didn't need to pay, Song Sanniang still gave each of them five cents for their hard work.

The two originally thought that this trip was in vain, but they didn't expect to get a five-cent tip. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to buy two buns for dinner. The two left with smiles on their faces.

Song Sanniang and Song Ersao talked about making lava filling tonight, so Song Ersao sped up the progress of making dinner.

Song Sanniang went to get her ice. In order to store it conveniently, she also asked Song Ersao to buy two large water tanks in the village so that they could be used in rotation.

When the ice in one tank is almost melted, you can make new ice in another tank. And you don’t need to buy saltpeter anymore, as saltpeter can be recycled.

She first added some water to a large water tank, and then put a large bucket filled with water into the tank.

Then she evenly added an appropriate amount of saltpeter into the water tank and stirred it quickly. Then she waited for them to react and went to do her own thing.

She went to Uncle Niu's house to get milk and took it home to make cream.

Boil the milk and butter, add sugar, stir moderately, and refrigerate overnight to get the cream.

But the cream she needs doesn't need to be whipped, so it doesn't need to be refrigerated for so long. Once the ice is made, put it on top and refrigerate for a while before using it.

You can also make cream by adding milk and vinegar, but in order to make the taste richer, Song Sanniang chose the first method.
