Chapter 32 What can I eat with three coins?

The next day, when Xiao Sanlang woke up, Su Yue was already up.

There is a faint, fresh and elegant fragrance of hers in the air.

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips, his expression a little hesitant.

Turning around, I saw Brother Yu sleeping soundly with his little butt raised, his mouth slightly opened, and he muttered something, as if he was calling me mother.

His eyes suddenly softened, and he stretched out his hand to rub Brother Yu's head.

I wonder how that woman would react when she heard Brother Yu call her mother?

...

Xiao Lizheng sent a red deed stamped by the government early in the morning.

"Busy work started early in the morning over the pond, Saburo. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

Xiao Sanlang thanked him and sent Xiao Lizheng away. He was going to take Brother Yu there and asked Su Yue if he was going.

Su Yue shook her head and handed him a drawing, "I'm going to the town. If Maogen clears out part of it, I can ask them to start digging the pond according to the dimensions on my drawing."

Xiao Sanlang took the drawing and took a serious look at it, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The drawings in hand have clear size standards, and the most surprising thing is the gate between the pond and the river.

Although it is a simple wooden gate, judging from the standard size and position on the drawing, the wooden gate can make full use of the river next to it, not only ensuring water diversion during drought, but also ensuring that fish in the pond will not flow into the river.

"Okay!" He glanced deeply at Su Yue, put the drawing in his arms without asking any questions.

After a pause, he added: "The wording is a bit ugly."

Su Yue was a little worried.

When she was on planet M, high technology almost made her bid farewell to pens. Now it's not easy for her to still write with a pen.

Su Li jumped out to defend her, "Brother-in-law, you haven't seen my writing."

"In our family, my sister's handwriting is the best."

Su Yue: "......"

I can thank you and my whole family.

Xiao Sanlang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Majesty...didn't my father-in-law win the same scholarship?"

Su Lihun waved his hand nonchalantly, "I have been an old man for many years, but he probably doesn't know a single word now, only wine."

Su's father was a student from a poor family. He studied hard in Hanchuang for ten years, was awarded the same Jinshi, and unexpectedly stayed in Beijing to become a fifth-rank official.

Five years ago, there was turmoil in the court. I don't know who Su's father offended. He was dismissed from office and his family was confiscated. He was demoted to a commoner and moved back to his hometown. His descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.

The Su family's origin is also in Dayang Town, just next door to Xiaojia Village in Zhuyuan Village.

The family was dismissed from office and their homes were ransacked. When they returned to their hometown, they would naturally be criticized. Su's father was depressed and drank all day long, becoming a well-known alcoholic maniac.

Xiao Sanlang said nothing more.

Su Yue grabbed Su Li and said, "Let's go. Follow me to the town."

Su Li's eyes lit up, "Sister, do you want to buy me something delicious?"

"You'll know when you go there."

The siblings walked out the door one step at a time.

Brother Yu's face was a little disappointed. In fact, he also wanted to go to town.

Bad...why didn't she take him?

She must have forgotten herself because of her uncle, hum!

...

At the gate of the fragrant garden, Old Feng rubbed his hands nervously.

"Sir, why doesn't Mrs. Su come?"

"You...do you think her idea is okay?"

Half of the bruise on Qin Mo's face faded away, and he could vaguely see his original appearance.

"Uncle Feng, if you turn around again, you will make a hole in the ground. Have you prepared all the side dishes that Mrs. Su asked you to prepare?"

"There is also white rice, have you stewed it?"

Old Feng stopped and looked at Qin Mo's feet, "Sir, the soil under your feet is dug deeper than mine."

Qin Mo: "..."

Old Feng squatted on the ground holding his sleeves and muttered: "There are Li Hai and Er Gou in the kitchen, and they've all been sorted out."

Qin Mo imitated Old Feng and squatted down.

When he mentioned Li Hai and Ergou, he was a little silent for a while.

Who would have thought that a few days ago, these two people would beat him into a pig's head, and within two days, they would run over to help him with a playful smile, helping him, and competing to do any work.

They couldn't drive us away, and it was hard to hear. Ergouzi squatted on the ground and cried, "Don't drive us away, the heroine will break our legs."

Only then did Qin Mo know that Su Yue had asked them to help.

"Waiting for me?"

A faint voice came.

Qin Mo stood up and saw Su Yue carrying a bamboo basket, followed by a young man with lively eyes.

"Mrs. Su is here." Lao Feng jumped up excitedly. Because he had been squatting for a long time, his legs were a little numb. He couldn't stand firmly and fell down in front of Su Yue.

Su Li was startled, "Uncle, there's no need to salute like this. Get up quickly."

Lao Feng: "......"

Qin Mo quickly let Su Yue in, "Everything you asked me to prepare is ready. Go to the kitchen and have a look."

Su Yue nodded and entered the kitchen.

When Li Hai and Er Gou saw Su Yue coming in, they stood up straight and said, "Hero!"

"Yeah." Su Yue turned around, looked at the side dishes and meat on the cutting board, and pointed to the bamboo basket she brought, "Cut the meat in there too."

Lao Feng was startled, "You still have to cut it. Will there be too much meat to use up?"

Su Yue shook her head, "No."

Old Feng looked at Qin Mo subconsciously.

Qin Mo gritted his teeth and said, "I heard Mrs. Su, I'll cut them all."

"Okay, Uncle Feng, prepare to cook according to the menu I gave you earlier."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she turned around and took Su Li out, "You and Li Hai have another mission."

.......

Dayang Town is a large town, with more than 20 nearby villages under its jurisdiction. There are medical clinics, shops, and schools in the town, and there is also a large market in the west of the town.

The location of Xiangmanyuan is good, not far from schools and shops, and closer to the market.

At this moment, at the entrance to the town and the entrance to the market, there were two cleanly dressed teenagers shouting vigorously:

“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by, the old Xiangman store has opened a new store with great deals.”

“Big opening bonus, discounts for the first three days.”

"As long as you enter the store, you will get a free bowl of whole grain porridge."

"Three cents for three cents, and for three cents you can have enough to eat."

"You can't buy it with three pennies, and you can't be deceived. The first fifty people who come into the store and spend money will get free egg soup."

"No matter the wind or rain, we will wait for you in Xiangman Garden."

The two men's shouts were loud and the content was very attractive. Many people immediately gathered around.

"What? You can eat enough for just three cents?"

"is that a lie?"

"Why don't we go and have a look? Don't you think you can get free whole grain porridge when you enter the store? It's also good to have a bowl of whole grain porridge."

"Let's go and have a look."

At the door of Fuman Building, shopkeeper Wu stood at the door, watching a large group of people huffing and puffing in the direction of Xiangman Garden.

He frowned, "What are these people doing?"

The waiter looked at the crowd and sneered, "It's said that Xiangmanyuan's old store opened a new one today, and you can eat enough for just three cents."

Shopkeeper Wu's eyes widened in disbelief, "Can you eat enough with three pennies? How is it possible? What to eat?"

The waiter curled his lips, "What else can I eat? Just whole grains and pickles. Anyway, I'll be full."

"I think that Mr. Qin's family must have been ill and sought medical treatment. I heard that he was beaten up just a few days ago, and his face is still bruised."

"Shopkeeper, I don't think Xiangmanyuan can survive for a few more days. By then our Fumanlou will be the only restaurant in town."

"Then those who sell meat and vegetables will have to come and beg you, the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Wu relaxed his frown and glanced in the direction of Xiangmanyuan, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, "How can you do business if you are a scholar?"
