The son of the governor of Gyeongju is a veritable prince to the people who come to visit him. The magistrate of a county is his father-in-law, and the governor of a state is truly a high official who is worthy of the heavens.
Song Xiao is actually the son of Magistrate Song?
Su Liu blinked and saw that he looked arrogant and didn't look like he was lying, and suddenly felt like he had won the jackpot.
My Lord Prefect's child, why should she be afraid when she leans against such a big tree?
"Are you scared?" Seeing that Su Liu remained silent for a long time, Song Xiao raised his chin proudly and said, "Now, do you know who you can rely on?"
"Are you bragging?" Song Xiao said so loudly that he immediately attracted Su Xiaodu and looked him up and down, full of disbelief.
Song Xiao looked at her sideways and said, "Does anyone dare to pretend to be the son of Lord Zhifu? They are looking for death."
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that water cannot be measured, and people cannot be measured by appearance." Su Xiao stared at him for a long time, shook his head and said.
These days, she has learned to read along with Su Liu, so she knows this classic saying.
"What do you mean?"
Su Liu chuckled, looked at Song Xiao's dark face, waved his hand towards Su Xiao, and said, "Sit down, Fifth Master."
Song Xiao snorted lightly and sat down again, not forgetting to glare at Su Xiao.
"I guessed that your status is not low, but I didn't expect that you were the prefect's son. I was rude a while ago." Su Liu refilled his tea and said, "I hope Fifth Master will not be weird."
Song Xiao said nothing, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Su Liu smiled brightly when he saw it, and changed the topic: "If that's the case, why did the Fifth Master come to our town? And the Baicao Hall?"
"Baicaotang is my family's property. I came here for inspection. It was just because I met some gangsters that I ended up in your village by mistake. Who would have known that I would be so unlucky and fall into that trap." Speaking of the previous embarrassment,
Song Xiao is somewhat inconsistent.
Su Liu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "The mountains are rich in resources. Villagers often go up the mountains to hunt. It is not surprising that they can dig some traps. And Brother Ning lives there and digs traps to prevent big beasts from attacking in the middle of the night.
How could I ever think of pretending to be yours?"
Song Xiao snorted and said, "I don't know if he is guarding against animals or against people."
This was a pun. Combined with what he just said, Su Liu raised his eyebrows and said: "So what if it's both? If possible, I would also like to dig a trap near my house."
.”
"You feel very relieved about him." Song Xiao glanced at her, half-smiling.
Su Liu just laughed and changed the subject lightly, asking about the county, city and state capital.
When talking about places he was familiar with, Song Xiao was in high spirits and talked about the cultural environment and how prosperous it was.
The county seat is actually not very far from Baise Town, which is only a two-hour drive, but the state capital is far away, and it takes six or seven hours. If you ride a fast horse, you can get there in five hours.
"If I have a chance, I really have to go and see it." Su Liu was fascinated.
"So I said you can open a shop. The state capital is not like Baise Town, where there are many wealthy people. Some people want to try new things, but they don't want to lower their status to buy from a stall like this." Song Xiao said again.
Mention the shop.
"Young Master, I do think so, but you can open a shop at your request?" Su Liu glanced at him angrily and said, "It costs a lot to open a shop. How long have we, the three of us, been living alone?"
This stall has only been open for a few days, can it really make a fortune that day?"
Song Xiao was a little embarrassed and said: "I never thought so much."
"So you were born in a wealthy family, and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a family member." Su Liu knocked on the table and said: "But when you have capital in the future, you will still open a shop, but not now."
"What kind of shop do you want to open?" Song Xiao asked with great interest.
Su Liu's heart moved and asked: "Are you interested?"
It is difficult to open a shop on your own without any capital, but it is different with cooperation. Besides, Song Xiao is the son of the prefect.
"If you are interested, we can discuss cooperation." Su Liu said.
"What kind of shop is it?" Song Xiao shrugged indifferently.
"What do you think of the restaurant?" Su Liu said with a smile: "I'm sure it will become popular in an instant."
"Oh?" Song Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked a question.
Su Liu pursed her lips, thought for a while and said: "I have obtained two rare things. If they are released, it may cause a huge response, but now is not the time."
There were only two pepper plants and one tomato plant. Even if they were ripe, Su Liu would not dare to make them into food. They were all solid seeds.
So if you want to use chili peppers as a topping, you must have enough ingredients. Otherwise, if you have a good start, you will have no ingredients on the second day. So what should you do?
"Well, it's too early to say this now, let's talk about it later." Su Liu waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"It's weird and appetizing." Song Xiao glared at her bitterly.
"Anyway, when I open a shop in the future, I will never forget you." Su Liu cheered to please.
"Which is rare."
Su Liu just laughed, and the two of them were speechless for a while. Remembering that peppers and tomatoes must be planted in large quantities, and land is needed, Su Liu said: "However, there is something I really want to ask you for now. You can do whatever is convenient for you."
Just say it, it’s okay if it doesn’t work out.”
"explain."
"The two rare things I just mentioned need to be planted in large quantities. You also know that our family only has a small area and only a few pieces of land, so we are thinking about buying some land."
Land is the foundation of a farmer's family, even the lifeblood. Landowners these days are valuable commodities. Although Su Liu is not very good at farming, he still wants to be a small landowner. Now that he has money and land,
Are you still worried that there is no one to farm?
Now that their stall is open, although they are not making a fortune every day, they still have some money on hand. She just settled the accounts last night. After so many days, they have saved ten taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Song Xiao pointed at her and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"You said you want to buy land? Do you know how much money an acre of land costs?" Song Xiao laughed for a while before asking.
Su Liu pursed her lips.
Seeing her seriousness, Song Xiao also suppressed a smile and said, "Let me tell you the truth. Nowadays, the best farmland costs four to five taels of silver per acre, and the inferior ones cost three taels per acre."
Didn’t you say that you have no capital, how many acres of land can you buy with a small stall like yours? Not to mention, if most of the land is sold one piece at a time, they will never only sell you one or two acres, unless the farmers in your village want it.
Sold exclusively."
Su Liu frowned after hearing this. Song Xiao really reminded her, but that's not the case. People who sell land usually need money urgently. Most of them sell it in one piece. Even if they sell ten acres of land, she still has to ask for it.
Forty or fifty taels of silver, where did the money come from?
I took another look at her stall. Selling steamed buns was a small business, and the money came in slowly. It would be great if there was a business that made money quickly.
It seems that I still think too simply. Dreams are full of wind, but reality is always cruel. It is not easy to get rich.
Seeing that she suddenly looked like a wilted eggplant, Song Xiao thought to himself, could it be that he had said it before? After thinking about it, he said: "Don't be discouraged. In fact, the income from your stall is better than that of ordinary stalls."
It’s a lot, but you won’t become fat if you eat it all in one go. Take your time, there’s no point in rushing.”
His words were like enlightenment, and Su Liu suddenly realized, yes, how long had she been in this world? It seemed like only two months, two months, even though it looked fast, it was not the case. She could achieve the results she has now.
, which can be regarded as smooth.
Thinking of this, the dark clouds on Su Liu's face suddenly cleared away, and he smiled sarcastically at Song Xiao and said, "What you are saying is that I'm in trouble."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. But your plan is not wrong. I will send someone to find a suitable person to keep an eye on. If there is really a good place, I will let you know." Song Xiao said again.
"That's good." Su Liu's eyes lit up, maybe she would have money by then.
"You always talk about rare objects, what exactly are they?" Song Xiao became interested in the rare objects she mentioned.
Although he is the son of a prefect, his family is far more than a prefect of a state. He has been curious about strange objects since he was a child, so what Su Liu said aroused his great interest.
Su Liu did not hesitate and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just two kinds of food ingredients. It's just that we don't have it in Daqi yet, so it's rare. When we grow it in the future, it won't be a rarity anymore."
"Is there such a thing?" Song Xiao was also very surprised when he heard that it was not available in Daqi.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he asked: "What are the ingredients you mentioned? They need to be grown. Where did you get them?" It couldn't be what he thought, could it?
"Even if I said it, a young man like you who doesn't work in farming wouldn't know. I got it by chance from the Qingji Grain Store in our town." Su Liu took a sip of tea.
Song Xiao let out a cry and almost jumped up, with a strange look on his face. Just as he was about to ask, a confused and familiar voice came from behind him.
"Xiao Wu?" The voice was a little uncertain, but it made Song Xiao jump up.
Su Liu turned around to look, but it was Na Qingji's boss, Song Fei, walking over with a calm face.
"I will look for you again in the future." Song Xiao said quickly, trying to escape in a panic.
"It's really you." Song Fei dodged and caught Song Xiao who was trying to escape, gritting his teeth.
Su Liu stood up, looked at Song Fei, and then at Song Xiao's face that smiled flatteringly at Song Fei. He felt a little silly, and something flashed through his mind.
Song Fei, on the other hand, also saw Su Liu and then looked at their teacups on the table, and raised his eyebrows.
"Do you know each other?"
The two spoke in unison.
"Third brother, hehe." At that time, Song Xiao called out.
The third brother in this life has already explained everything. Su Liu stroked his forehead and suddenly showed a smile. Things in this world really are such a coincidence.
Song Fei, Song Xiao, she should have thought of them a long time ago!
