The Little Lucky Girl.

The day after his birthday, the first and second wives of the Su family returned to the county town to open a shop!

At the end of the Chen hour, Su Qing picked some vegetables and strawberries in a basket and sent some to her grandmother's house. Then she brought a basket of fresh vegetables and strawberries to Wang, the owner of Yunkelai Restaurant.

Su Qing brought Ying San to Yunkelai. As soon as they got off the carriage, Shopkeeper Wang saw Su Qing and said, "Hey, my princess, you're here!"

"Uncle Wang, keep a low profile and just call me Qingbao!"

"That's unacceptable! If His Majesty knew, I'd be decapitated!"

"If I say yes, then yes. If you don't listen to me, I won't provide you with recipes every month!"

"My dear little ancestor, I understand!"

"Uncle Wang, I brought you some fresh vegetables and strawberries today for you to try. They're all grown in my own greenhouse!"

"How can there still be such lush green vegetables in winter?"

"Of course!"

"Can you supply some to the restaurant? We'll pay for it!"

"Yes, but I can only provide a maximum of 50 kilograms per day! There are not many greenhouse vegetables this year! I have a big family and I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat!"

"Okay then! Let's start with 50 kilograms!"

"Take some of the vegetables here and try them. The strawberries are sweet and sour, juicy and especially delicious!" Su Qing told Shopkeeper Wang the benefits of eating strawberries again. Shopkeeper Wang's eyes sparkled when he heard it. "Qingbao, can I supply more strawberries to the restaurant? I can sell them to customers!" He is indeed a businessman. He found a business opportunity as soon as he heard it!

"We'll supply the restaurant with 50 jin (approximately 100g) of strawberries every day, at one tael of silver per jin. You can sell them for three or five taels of silver per jin, going the high-end route! In cities like Beijing, we could sell them for ten taels of silver per jin! But these strawberries are difficult to store and spoil easily! I'll go back and find someone to weave some small baskets, pad them with cotton, and put the strawberries in them!"

"Hmm. That's a good idea!"

"Uncle Wang, today I'll teach the chef two dishes: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, perfect with rice! And stir-fried cabbage with vinegar!"

"Okay, okay, let's go to the kitchen now!"

Su Qing went to the kitchen, washed her hands, cut chili peppers, sliced ​​pork, added onions, ginger, and garlic, marinated the meat, and began to heat oil in a pan. She stir-fried the meat until cooked through and set aside. She added more oil to the pan, sautéed onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, added the chopped chili peppers, and then added the pork slices, stir-frying evenly. She added the seasonings and stir-fried a few times before serving! A delicious and spicy stir-fried pork with chili peppers was ready!

Shopkeeper Wang's mouth watered at the aroma! He asked the waiter to serve him a bowl of rice and started eating! "Delicious, so fragrant!" He praised it while eating. The people standing next to him were drooling at the sight...

The chef couldn't help but said, "Boss, please let me try it so I can follow your instructions!"

"Take your chopsticks and try it."

"The chef picked up a piece with his chopsticks and tasted it, and his taste buds were instantly piqued. 'Waiter, bring me a bowl of rice!'" The chef and shopkeeper Wang took turns taking a piece, each acknowledging the other's guilt and tucking into the food. In just a quarter of an hour, the entire plate of stir-fried pork with chili sauce was gone, and they still seemed to be wanting more!

Su Qing brought out the pickled cabbage and let them taste it. "This pickled cabbage is sour and refreshing, it's very delicious!"

"Miss Su, you are truly a genius. You can make delicious dishes out of any ingredients! I admire you!"

"Qingbao, this pickled cabbage is so appetizing and refreshing, I'll never tire of it!"

"Uncle Shi, please make it for me!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Chef Shi quickly prepared two dishes. After tasting them, Su Qing praised them, "They taste great. He's truly a chef with over a decade of experience!"

"Thank you Miss Su for the compliment!"

"Uncle Wang, I'm going back now! I'll have Ying San bring me vegetables and strawberries from now on!"

"okay!"

"Qingbao, take care!"

"Got it, Uncle Wang. Let's go!"

Su Qing and Ying San drove the carriage back to Su Village! When they arrived at the Su residence, Su Qing found Old Man Su and asked, "Grandpa, have you finished weaving the little basket for me?"

"My dear, I made up more than a dozen!"

"Okay Grandpa, let me see!"

"Well, that's great. Grandpa, I might need fifty a day. Can you help me find someone to weave them? Ten cents each!"

"Okay, sweetheart! Let Uncle Wang write it! It can also help him. He has no children and no source of income!"

"Okay, Grandpa! I'll go with you!"

"Okay, baby, let's go!"

Old Man Su held Su Qing's hand and walked towards Uncle Wang's house at the east end of the village. Uncle Wang's house was a simple thatched house with a yard surrounded by a fence. The yard was also divided into small vegetable plots. Maybe there were not many vegetables to grow in winter, so they were all empty!

"Brother Wang, are you home?" Old Man Su called out.

"Here, here," Uncle Wang came out of the thatched hut!

"Brother Su! Come on, come in!"

"I'd like to ask for your help. My granddaughter needs a small bamboo basket, about the size I can carry in my hand, with a lid! Ten cents each! I thought you'd be a good choice to weave it if you have time! It'll bring you some income!"

"What money do you want? I'll weave it for Qingbao!"

"Grandpa Wang, if you don't want money, I won't let you weave it!"

"Okay, thank you Qingbao!"

"Grandpa, let Grandpa Wang live in the house of my veteran uncles! I'm afraid it will be too cold in winter and Grandpa Wang won't be able to bear it! There are still many empty houses over there!"

"Okay, my dear granddaughter! Grandpa agrees!"

"Grandpa Wang, why don't you move in with me? I heard from Grandpa that since you're all alone, I'll take care of you in your old age! We have a lot of empty houses over there, all furnished, and every room has solar heaters!"

"Thank you, Qingbao. Grandpa Wang won't go! Grandpa Wang is used to living alone!"

"Brother, you can live over there. We can visit each other if we have time. This winter might be very cold! Your thatched cottage is too cold!"

After several rounds of conversation, Uncle Wang was finally persuaded!

"Grandpa Wang, you can cook your own food there, or you can eat in the small workshop cafeteria! Those veteran uncles all eat in the cafeteria!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Qingbao!" Uncle Wang was in tears. When people get old, they all want their children and grandchildren to surround them and care from their relatives! Su Qing's actions are not family-like, but better than family-like!

"Grandpa Wang, is there anything else you need to pack? There are quilts and mattresses over there, all new! Just come with me!"

"I'll buy you new clothes and shoes!"

"Thank you Qingbao! Grandpa Wang still has clothes to wear."

"Grandpa Wang, look at your clothes, they're all patched up layer upon layer!"

"Grandpa Wang, please don't refuse!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Qingbao!"

Although Uncle Wang agreed verbally, he certainly wouldn't accept it for nothing! He wasn't someone who liked to take advantage!

Uncle Wang packed up and walked towards the old soldier's residence with Old Man Su and Su Qing!

Arriving at the row of brick houses, Su Qing placed Grandpa Wang's things in an empty room. "Grandpa Wang, there's everything in here. There's a solar-powered light, this is a solar heater, and this is the switch! If this indicator light doesn't work, just put it in the sun to dry!"

"Okay, I understand Qingbao! Thank you!"

"Grandpa Wang, if you have anything, please come to my grandfather or me. You must enjoy your stay here!"
