Seeing what he saw in front of him, Su Yin was suddenly a little stunned.
The three members of Zhang Laishun's family across the street were chatting and laughing. Mrs. Liu kept asking if her son was injured in the battle for the abandoned city, if Su Ziyin was okay, if Song Lan was okay, etc.
Zhang Daman, on the other hand, said disgustedly, "You are the only woman who talks a lot! Can't you let the children answer your questions when they are hungry? Yinzi, don't think that Uncle Daman doesn't have good food to entertain you!" Then he took matters into his own hands and gave it to Su Yinsheng.
A big bowl of egg drop soup.
Su Ziyin looked away, grinned, and drank a bowl of soup.
Zhang Daman and Mrs. Liu were stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Ms. Liu stood up and filled a bowl for Su Yin, scolding, "Kid, drink slowly! What's wrong with choking? There's a big pot in the house.
Woolen cloth."
Su Yin took it and looked at Zhang Laishun secretly while drinking, feeling a little envious.
Due to family reasons, Su Yin has never enjoyed this kind of warmth since she was a child. She almost grew up in the military training. In addition to various skills, she learned how to survive under various difficult conditions.
No one has ever told her to eat slowly. Some people just eat as fast as possible during the battle.
Now, although Zhang Laishun's family of three are all slaves in the Su Mansion, they have a warmth and harmony that Su Yin has never experienced before. Under the warm yellow light, the smiling faces of the family of three look particularly moving.
Damn, I'm getting sentimental now. Su Yin grinned and drank another bowl of egg drop soup.
The next day, Su Yin got up early to change Song Lan's dressing, and after helping her mother lie down, Su Yin began morning exercises.
It was not until noon that Su Shizong summoned her for what happened last night. I'm afraid the eldest lady had concealed it.
Because a war had just been fought and there was a shortage of food in the city, the Su family, a large food transport company, naturally wanted to seize the business opportunity. The eldest young master Su Jianye left Qingbei City for Guan Nei two days ago. He sent a letter yesterday saying that the government was collecting food.
The grain merchants closed their doors and stopped doing business, which made the Su family worried.
At noon, in front of the gate of the Su Mansion, two doorkeepers were yawning and lazily staying there. While chatting, they saw a luxurious carriage slowly parked in front of the door.
The curtain opened, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old walked out, wearing a brown-red robe inlaid with gold, with a somewhat out-of-shape figure, a fat face and a big belly.
"Two young brothers, is this Su Mansion in Qingbei City?" The man raised his head and looked at the two characters "Su Mansion", then immediately clasped his fists and asked with a smile.
"Who are you, sir?" The gatekeeper came forward and asked. Seeing that the other party's carriage was luxurious and his clothes were extraordinary, he did not dare to neglect him.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the housekeeper of Yuanwai Mansion in Qingzhou City, Xie Ding." The man smiled.
The two servants looked at each other. Qingzhou City's Xie family? One of them asked, "But the man who owns Xie Qingming, a big grain canal owner with a radius of several hundred miles, belongs to his family?"
"Exactly."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a servant came in with a happy face to report.
Madam has been very worried about the problem of collecting grains in recent days. All channels are blocked, and there is a shortage of grain everywhere. Who is willing to sell it? Now that the Xie family has come to the door, it is naturally a great thing.
Seeing this, Xie Ding looked up at the plaque again. The person who saved the master from the horse thieves incident in Qingbei City that day was a member of the Su family, so he must have made no mistake.
At this moment, another carriage stopped in front of the Su Mansion. It was the eldest young master Su Jianye who was returning from an outing.
After getting out of the car, Su Jianye recognized the manager of the Xie family in front of him. He was stunned at first, and then he was delighted, "Thank you, manager! I didn't see him this time in Qingzhou City, but I didn't expect to see him here!"
Xie Ding was slightly startled, looked at the door of Su Mansion, then looked at Su Jianye, "You are..."
"This is the eldest young master of Su Mansion, Su Jianye." Su Jianye responded with some embarrassment. He went out of the city to look for trading channels this time, but because of the news that the Liao Kingdom was coming to attack, the government requisitioned grain, and every household closed down. Grain merchants settled in
Food was not coming out, and even after a round of turnover, no deal was concluded.
The Xie family is the largest grain merchant within hundreds of miles. Not only does it own hundreds of hectares of fertile land, it also has a good reputation among farmers. Most farmers are willing to sell grain to the Xie family.
