Chapter 33 Picking up snails and doing great things
Lin Bo was so angry that he was shaking with anger at Su Hongxing's confusing words.
"You, you vicious woman..."
Su Hongxing fanned her hands coated with kodan, looking proud of herself.
"Is it true that your wife and daughter are dead?
Ouch……"
Before he finished speaking, Su Jinxiu splashed dirty water all over him.
The water is the water in which snails have been washed, and it is fishy and smelly.
"You have shit in your mouth? Does it smell so bad?
Don't block the road and prevent me from doing business."
In the past, only Su Hongxing could show off her power, but today she suffered a loss.
She gritted her teeth in anger and raised her hand to slap Su Jinxiu.
"Where did this aggressive guy come from? I don't even want to ask..."
Su Jinxiu grabbed Su Hongxing's hand and slapped her twice.
bang bang
She just grabbed the chili pepper and slapped it down twice.
Su Hongxing's face was swollen like a pig's head, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
"you……"
Su Hongxing gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face.
Su Jinxiu was a little impatient and frowned.
"What am I? If you don't get out, I won't sell you anymore."
After hearing this, the people who had been waiting in line for a long time were not happy.
"Hey, I said, where did this girl come from?
If you want to cause trouble, believe it or not, I will arrest you and bring you to see the officials?"
Su Hongxing was speechless, and when someone said it, she lost her composure, stamped her feet, turned around and ran away.
After driving away the annoying flies, Su Jinxiu and Lin Bo felt relieved.
All the snails were sold out, and there was a long queue at Jixiang Restaurant.
Without him, I just wanted to go in and buy a bowl of rice with snails.
On this day, Jixiang Restaurant suffered heavy losses.
Su Jinxiu said that this is just the beginning and will continue tomorrow.
Su Hongxing returned home, and when Zhang Wanliang came back, she started crying to him.
After talking for a while, he suddenly stopped talking, as if something was wrong.
Zhang Wanliang was in a very bad mood. He didn't make a penny in the restaurant today and lost twenty taels of silver in vain.
“I’ve already said hello to those merchants, so why is that old guy still troubling me when he has nothing to sell?
I heard someone said that the old man found a helper.
Is your surname also Su? Is it possible that you two know each other and are deliberately trying to make me miserable?
Su Hongxing, these two taels of silver will be deducted from your expenses this month."
Hearing this, Su Hongxing suddenly came back to her senses. She knew something was wrong.
"I really know you, that's my cousin!"
At that time, she said that the face looked familiar, but she didn't think much about it.
After she came back, she always felt something was wrong, and Zhang Wanliang's words reminded her.
I heard that the girl from her cousin's family had been given the wrong child and had been kept in the Marquis's residence for sixteen years. She only came back a few months ago.
She once went to Kaoshan Village to see if she could have some connections with the Hou Mansion.
As soon as we reached the entrance of the village, we saw Su Jinxiu.
At that time, I just thought that Su Jinxiu was too ugly, and when I saw that Su Jinxiu was dressed, she didn't look like someone the Hou Mansion valued.
After asking around, I found out that Su Jinxiu was driven back.
Seeing that she could not gain any connections with the Hou family, she came back with gifts.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinxiu actually ran over to Lao Immortal and caused trouble for them.
Zhang Wanliang couldn't help but suppress his anger when he heard what Su Hongxing said.
"Since she's your niece, it's easy to handle.
Talk to her some other time and let her come work in my restaurant.
She won't be short of money without her help.
The old one won't last long."
As long as Ruyi Restaurant is still there, it will remind him all the time.
How he was so humble and begging the old man to teach him how to cook was a pillar of shame for him.
As soon as that girl leaves, Ruyi Restaurant and the old man will disappear.
Su Hongxing responded casually, but she had other ideas in mind.
Today, I met Su Jinxiu and I had a bad relationship. If I ask for Su Jinxiu again, I'm afraid I will have to be humble.
Huh, she doesn't want to...
——————————
Su Jinxiu made up her mind to help Lin Bo, so she naturally put all her energy into it.
Back to Kaoshan Village, it was still early to see the weather.
She boiled another pot of maltose and asked Su Shangwu to call the village children.
Since the last time the children in the village ate Sun Shangwu's candy, they seemed to regard Su Shangwu as their leader.
"Brother Shangwu, we will do whatever you want us to do."
Su Shangwu was a little uncomfortable, so he touched his head and glanced at Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu asked Su Shangwu to give the sweets to the children and said with a smile.
"It's not Brother Shangwu asking you for help today, it's Sister Jinxiu asking you to help us fish for snails.
If I ask you to work hard in vain, I will pay you five kilograms per copper plate."
The children were stunned at first and looked at Su Jinxiu uncertainly.
"Can those snails be exchanged for copper plates?"
It was everywhere, and because the meat was less and still fishy, they were too lazy to eat it.
Su Jinxiu smiled and nodded, and Su Shangwu took the lead in rolling up his sleeves.
"My sister always keeps her word and won't lie to you.
Come on, let’s go touch the snails.”
The children cheered, ate the candy balls and followed Su Shangwu away.
There is no need to go to deep water for snails. There are many creeks and ditches beside the fields.
While the children were touching the snails, Su Jinxiu went up the mountain with a basket and picked a lot of spices.
When it got dark, the children came back carrying barrels and baskets.
Su Jinxiu gave each of them a few copper coins according to the weight of their catch.
The children left happily, and Su Jinxiu began to get busy.
In the middle of the night, Li Zhaodi woke up and found that the kitchen light was still on.
She felt a little distressed and touched the kitchen to take a look.
Finding that Su Jinxiu had fallen asleep leaning against the stove, she couldn't help but sigh and push Su Jinxiu up.
"Jinxiu, Mom will keep an eye on it for you. You can go and take a nap."
Su Jinxiu was so sleepy that she didn't even open her eyelids and shook her head.
"Mom, I'll just squint for a while, you're too heavy to stay up all night now.
Go and rest, I'm fine."
After coaxing Li Zhaodi away, Su Jinxiu was almost done.
He quickly got up and saw at a glance that Su Taohua had entered the kitchen at some point.
He was helping her light the fire. How deeply was she sleeping? She didn't even know someone had entered the kitchen?
Seeing that Su Jinxiu had woken up, Su Taohua was a little at a loss and could neither get nor put the firewood.
"Sister, I, I think the fire is going out.
I didn't break in on purpose, I picked up a lot of snails.
The courtyard door is open, I want to give you snails."
Su Jinxiu looked at Su Taohua like that and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her head.
Su Taohua shrank in fright and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, big sister, I was wrong.
You, don’t be angry, I won’t dare anymore…”
How many times has this child been beaten? It has become a conditioned reflex.
Su Jinxiu sighed and looked at the bucket Su Taohua brought.
It was filled with snails, which were evenly sized and clearly carefully selected.
She took out five copper coins and gave them to Su Taohua.
"The quality of what you picked up is good, my eldest sister wants them all.
This is your salary, take it..."
"No, big sister, I don't want..." Su Taohua waved her hands quickly.
She saw her elder sister asking the village children to pick up snails, so she wanted to help, not to earn her elder sister's coins.
The eldest sister is good to her, so she can't be ungrateful.
