Aunt Cuihua, wow, this is such a great deal! Selling 10 jins means 50 wen, right?

Huang Jinlei's grandmother, Grandma Huang, said

If I could sell this every day, and save up enough money, I could marry Lei off. In my lifetime, I, an old woman, could even have a great-grandson!

Siyu looked at the old lady's toothless smile and felt comfortable and happy.

Grandma Huang wiped her tears and said

Thank God! Thank you, Yu Yatou, for helping us. This way, even if I die, I'll have the face to see the Huang family's ancestors. Lei, you have to do it, do it well, and listen to Yu Yatou. Did you hear me? If you dare to have any bad thoughts, I'll break your legs.

Cuihua

Haha, haha, grandma, please stop talking about my brother. He is not a heartless person.

Old Mrs. Huang

Strangely, he glared at Cuihua. "Just protect him! You're my brother? How old are you? Your sister-in-law has been gone for so many years. Our family was poor before, and he didn't even talk about finding a wife. Now he has a business that can bring in money. He'll be able to marry soon, and in the future! It's great to have someone who understands you, who can talk to you, who can accompany you, and who can live with you."

Old Mrs. Huang wiped her tears and said, "What a good person! What a good person!"

Siyu felt bad when she saw the old lady wiping her tears.

Holding the old lady's hand, "Grandma Huang, thank you for helping our family in the past, too? Even when you were in such a difficult situation, you still managed to secretly send us some food to help us. Otherwise, we would have starved to death. It's only when you sow good seeds that good results are reaped. Good people will always be rewarded in the end."

Grandma Huang also nodded excitedly.

Yes, yes, yes, Yu Yatou is right. As a human being, you must be a good person and not be selfish.

Sister Yu said it well.

Siyu raised her hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. This is a good thing, and we should all be happy." Li Zhenhe, the clan leader, also said, "Yes, we should all be happy." Let's listen to what Yu Yatou said next.

Siyu said

Next, I'll tell you how to sell braised meat. Tomorrow, prepare a kitchen knife, wrapping paper, and a scale. The most important thing is tasting. Cut the meat into small pieces, placing a small portion of each type on a plate. Then, go home and make some bamboo skewers and place them there. Customers can try the meat before buying. Remember to shout loudly. Can I teach you how to shout?!

Uncle Tieniu, Huang Jinlei, and Uncle Qingzhou all blushed with embarrassment. How, how, how can they shout this!

Aunt Cuihua, with a carefree personality, said, "What's the big deal? It's not like cutting your tongue."

Grandma Huang

I am not afraid, Yu girl, please teach us.

Grandma Huang glared at several men

Look at how little you have done. You didn't steal or rob, but you were scared like this just by yelling a few words. What is there to be ashamed of? Ah! Look at your behavior.

The village head said

Aunt Huang is right. Yu girl is teaching us how to make a living, but you are just making excuses. How shameless! Humph, you are useless.

patriarch

He rolled his eyes at the men and said, "Hmph, without any courage, you'll never achieve anything great."

Several men blushed and lowered their heads in shame.

Thinking of Rain

Ladies and gentlemen, uncles, aunts, and aunties, this is a serious matter, not something to be ashamed of. If we do it well, it will also be a legacy of our family tradition of farming and studying. I won’t say more, just repeat it a few times and you’ll get used to it. Come on. Exhale, inhale, and follow me.

It's delicious and affordable, with delicious braised food and fresh food! Don't miss it if you pass by, everyone come and try it. The uncles were better, although they were a little shy, but they shouted out loud, not daring to shout loudly. The aunts couldn't open their mouths, only Aunt Cuihua shouted out loudly.

Siyu said

We're out to make money, not steal or rob. Feel free to shout it out loud so others know what we do. Let's try it again. Ah, don't miss it if you're passing by! Here comes the delicious, marinated food. Try it before you buy. One bite, and you'll want two more. So everyone tried shouting it out, and after a few tries, everyone got the guts to do it.

Thinking of Rain

Okay, go home and have a rest. I wish you all a successful start tomorrow. Don't forget to prepare things, mainly bamboo sticks.

Every family member responded, "I understand, we will never forget it, hahahahahahahahaha."

Each family went home excitedly to prepare for the next day. After everyone left.

Siyu asked

How is grandpa’s recruitment going?

Grandpa said

All recruited, 30 people.

Thinking of Rain

Mom, have you picked all the fungus?

娘亲

I picked them all up today.

After saying this, Siyu called out,

Dad and I went to Grandma Liu's house together.

Siyu asked

Dad, have you been to my second aunt's house?

Bai Qingyuan said

When she goes there, your second aunt will stay at home to take care of the elderly and children, and your second uncle will continue to work as a peddler, and his business is good.

The sound of footsteps rustling was heard and the father and daughter looked back in confusion.

Hey, why did you follow me? Siyu asked.

Long Linxiao returns

I'm bored sitting at home, so I want to go out with you guys.

Siyu replied, Oh!

Zhou Tingxuan asked

Where are you going, little girl?

Thinking of Rain

Go to Grandma Liu's house.

When the group arrived at Granny Liu's house, her grandson was also home. Siyu knocked on the door. Knock, knock. A magnetic voice came from inside the house. Who is it?

I, Bai Siyu, the boy quickly opened the door and said happily

Sister Siyu, you are here.

Siyu replied.

Brother Yanchen, you didn’t go to school. Liu Yanchen said,

I have a day off today, so I came back to accompany grandma. Uncle, please come in.

Granny Liu also walked to the door at this time and said, "Qingyuan, you're here." Granny Liu pointed at Zhou Tingxuan.

Siyu said,

Granny Liu: This is my cousin.

Granny Liu said,

Come in quickly. I heard from the villagers that he is really a handsome man. Siyu girl has also arrived. Come in quickly, come in quickly. Then several people went into the house and sat down as host and guest.

Siyu went straight to the point and said, Grandma Liu, I came here today to tell you something.

Granny Liu

what's up.

Thinking of Rain

My family has started a small business, and I'm thinking of bringing you along. Is Brother Yanchen about to take an exam? When I was little, I was nearly bitten by a snake in the mountains, and it was Brother Yanchen who saved me. He carried me down the mountain. I have to thank Brother Yanchen, too.

I made this snack! I've brought a few other families from the village with me to sell in the county tomorrow, so I'm taking the liberty of giving you a portion. Granny Liu, would you consider joining us?

Granny Liu said, what are you thinking about, there is such a good thing, what kind of deal?

Siyu said

I made some braised pork and I can sell it in town. I buy it for 30 wen and sell it for 35 wen. Granny Liu's hands were shaking with excitement. There was such a good thing.

But still unbelievable question

"Girl! A pound of fat meat is only 20 wen," Siyu said. "Grandma Liu, after a pound of braised meat, there are still 7 liang left. There are still a lot of spices! We still need to hire someone to wash it! The most important thing is that things are valuable because they are rare." Grandma Liu thought about it and said, "Look, I'm getting old and confused. If you help me, I still have so many things to do. I only get 5 wen for selling a pound every day. If I sell 10 pounds, it will be more than I can make in three days of embroidering handkerchiefs. And with a daily income, my brother Chen will have a much easier time studying and taking the imperial examinations."

Siyudao told Granny Liu that before doing business, some things must be made clear.

Granny Liu prepared her things and said goodbye. As she was leaving, Liu Yanchen watched Siyu leave without even saying a word. He felt a little reluctant to let her go. He looked up at the girl's beautiful face and her bright eyes, wanting to say something. But she was no longer the skinny, dark-skinned girl she used to be.

Liu Yanchen thought,

Siyu, you have to wait for me. I will come back to marry you after I pass the imperial examination. Don't rush into marriage.

Liu Yanchen, I secretly swore to myself, Liu Yanchen, you must work hard. You are 16 years old this year, Siyu is 11 years old, and there are still four years left. You must pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, and then come back to marry Siyu in a grand ceremony.

Zhou Tingxuan looked up

Looking at Liu Yanchen's reluctant eyes, he suddenly seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand it at the same time. There was something wrong with this kid. His eyes were almost glued to him. How could this be allowed? How could I let you steal my cousin?

Zhou Tingxuan glared at Liu Yanchen with an unfriendly look, but Liu Yanchen pretended not to see it.

Liu Yanchen

Sister Siyu, how are you doing recently? When I came back, grandma told me that you were injured. How are you doing?

Siyu said

It's okay, Brother Yanchen, I'm almost well now.

Liu Yanchen

You also severed ties with the old house. They didn't bother you again.

Siyu asked

Brother Yanchen, don’t you think we are unfilial?

Liu Yanchen smiled

What's the point of being filial or unfilial? A son is filial only when his mother is loving. If someone wants to be filial to you even though they are going to beat you to death, then that is foolish filial piety. Don't worry, I am not that confused about right and wrong. Brother Yanchen will always support you.

Siyu answered

It's okay, Brother Yanchen, thank you.

Zhou Tingxuan was jealous. Seeing the two of them talking endlessly, he said angrily, "Okay, cousin, it's time to go. My aunt must be waiting anxiously."

Yan Chen said, that’s good.

I didn't know what they were talking about, I could only watch them leave.

Zhou Tingxuan was thinking, "When the little girl first rescued me, she was still dark and thin, but she had big, pretty eyes. Now she's getting prettier and prettier, with two dimples when she smiles. She's also decisive and efficient. Someone must appreciate that." So Zhou Tingxuan grabbed the edge of his clothes that Liu Yanchen had just touched and wiped it with his hand. Siyu, amused by Zhou Tingxuan's childish look, asked him, "What's going on?"

What are you wiping, Siyu said, "Stop being childish, okay? He didn't touch me, what's wrong with you?"

Siyu said jokingly, I'm jealous.

Zhou Tingxuan answered

No, why should I be jealous? The two of them followed Bai Qingyuan back home with a lot of noise.

Lying in bed, Siyu wondered when she'd finally have her own room! She needed to find a construction team and get the building started. Otherwise, entering the dimension would be incredibly difficult. She muttered to herself, desperate to sleep. She waited and waited until her parents and siblings were asleep. She slipped into the dimension, fell onto the bed, and was instantly asleep. Just before falling asleep, she thought about checking out the fields outside the dimension, but she fell asleep in an instant.

Back at the old house, plotting continued. Old Lady Li, the eldest son, Bai Mulin, the third son, Bai Musong, and a few younger children were still trying to figure out how to get the money and other things over. After Bai Qingyuan and the village head left the yamen, Bai Mulin took leave and took Bai Musong home. Old Lady Li was overjoyed to see her eldest son and her favorite, third son, both back.

Mrs. Li

Old brother, third brother, why are you two brothers coming back together today?

Bai Musong replied

I asked my eldest brother but he didn’t tell me, so I don’t know yet!

Bai Mulin said
