Su Qing was a little confused by Shopkeeper Wang, so she reminded him loudly.
"Ahem, no...no."
Shopkeeper Wang realized that he was rude and pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment.
However, Shopkeeper Wang is someone who has seen strong winds and waves, so he calmed down immediately.
He looked at Su Qing and said sternly: "Little doll, I'm interested in the spicy hotpot you make, and I want to spend a hundred taels on your recipe. What do you think?"
Su Qingjue's counterpart wanted to buy out her Malatang for a hundred taels. To be honest, she really felt like she was at a bit of a loss.
However, she is currently in urgent need of money, and she is not sure whether she will have time to set up a stall in the future. Si Lu decided to sell the formula after repeated attempts.
"Okay, then ask the shopkeeper to draw up a contract, which can be used as proof in the future."
Shopkeeper Wang understood what she meant.
He asked someone to bring a pen and ink and wrote the contract in front of Su Qing. After Su Qing confirmed that it was correct, both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints.
The contract was made in two copies, one for each family.
Su Qing wrote down the recipe for Malatang and the method of curing meat and gave it to Shopkeeper Wang. Shopkeeper Wang also gave her fifty taels of cash and a fifty-tael banknote without any hesitation.
The characters of this era are similar to traditional Chinese characters. She has studied them before, so she can write a little bit, but the writing is not pretty.
Shopkeeper Wang was not surprised when he saw that Su Qing could write. After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty were open and girls could go to school to learn calligraphy. He only thought that Su Qing had gone to school.
Compared to Shopkeeper Wang's calmness, Aunt Jinhua's reaction was more surprising. Her girl had never read, so how could she write?
Su Qing said goodbye to Shopkeeper Wang and left with Aunt Jinhua.
"Girl, your word..."
After leaving Zuixian Tower, Aunt Jinhua immediately asked Su Qing.
Su Qing pulled her to a corner, covered her sleeves and looked around, as if she was afraid of being discovered by someone.
"It was the old god who taught me to write it."
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Su Qing carefully analyzed it for her.
"Auntie, I never went to school, I can't read, I don't know how to cook, I'm stupid and I don't know how to make money. Now I suddenly know how to do it. Who else could teach me this if it wasn't taught by an old god?"
Seeing that Aunt Jinhua had listened to her words, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Jinhua was not easy to fool.
At the same time, she sighed in her heart. Aunt Jinhua was so kind to her and she still lied to her, but there was nothing she could do about it. At worst, she could just be more kind to her aunt in the future.
Near noon, Su Qingcai and the villagers returned to the village in an ox cart.
The matter on Su Qing's side has been resolved, let's look at Shopkeeper Wang's side.
Shopkeeper Wang was not only surprised that a ten-year-old Su Qing could come up with such a way to make money, but he was also a little curious about her.
So he sent someone to investigate privately, and found out that Su Qing had been instructed by the gods. He was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time, but this could also explain why Su Qing was different from others.
Although Shopkeeper Wang was dubious, he couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
…
Su Qing was not idle after arriving home, but went to Qingshan Village to find Liu Dalang.
Although she sold the Malatang recipe to Zuixianlou, she did not tell them where to find the chili peppers in the recipe.
That's why she rushed to find Liu Dalang to take her into the hot and sweaty mountain in Qingshan Village.
She wanted to see if there were many chili peppers on the mountain. If there were many, she would buy the mountain and make all the chili peppers her own. Then a share of the money from Zuixian Tower would also go into her pocket.
Su Qing thought about it, and she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. She felt that she was getting smarter and smarter.
When Su Qing arrived in Qingshan Village, he first went to the school to take a look at Wen Sheng and Wen Hai. Seeing that they did not reject school life, he felt relieved and went to find Liu Dalang.
When they arrived at Liu Dalang's house, they smelled a very strong smell of medicine, and Su Qing knocked on the courtyard door.
"Is Liu Dalang at home?"
"Da Lang, a guest is here."
The old lady who was sunbathing in the yard opened the door for Su Qing and shouted into her house.
"Little girl, come in and sit down. The older man will be here soon."
The old lady said kindly to Su Qing that although her face was wrinkled when she smiled, it could not hide the kindness she exuded.
This grandma looked like she was sixty years old. Her body was already stooped and she had to use a cane to walk.
Although her face is full of traces of time, it still cannot conceal her expectations for life. There is always hope for the future in her eyes.
"Grandma, please sit down quickly."
Su Qing helped her sit on the stool.
Liu Dalang also came out, and Su Qing directly explained the purpose of his visit to him.
Liu Dalang was also happy to take her there. He explained to his grandma and asked his sister to take good care of her grandma before taking Su Qing up the mountain.
As soon as Su Qing arrived on the mountain, she felt the temperature around her rise. Within a short while, a layer of sweat covered her forehead.
Su Qing guessed that there was either a dormant volcano or an underground river of hot springs inside the mountain.
She had observed the height of the mountain before entering the mountain. The altitude was not high and there was no crater. The reason for the high temperature was probably the latter.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the place where there were red fruits.
Just as Su Qing expected, the peppers here are all in slices, and they should weigh several thousand kilograms.
Su Qing couldn't help but think in her heart, she had made a fortune this time, and she had so many red fruits. Some of them were dried and used to make hot pot ingredients, and some were made into chili sauce.
Su Qing's eyes lit up when she looked at Hong Guo. From now on, there will be a lot of money. How can she not be excited?
She wanted to go back as soon as possible and tell the village chief that she wanted to buy the mountain, and she had to do it quickly to avoid long nights and nightmares.
As soon as Su Qing had this idea, she turned around and rushed to the village. After arriving in the village, she didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately went to the village chief to discuss buying the mountain. After the discussion was completed, she went home for dinner.
Su Qing made an appointment with the village chief to go to the Yamen to register together in the afternoon, so she waited at the entrance of the village early after eating.
At the same time, while she was waiting at the entrance of the village, she also heard the news that Tian Er had been released from prison, and knew that he was seriously injured this time. When he came back, his face was bruised and his legs were lame.
Su Qing didn't take it seriously. What she was most worried about was the old widower's revenge.
Su Qing waited for a while, and then the village chief came out in an ox cart. The ox cart belonged to his family, and the driver was his son Shen Dahai.
The village chief's family only has one son, Shen Dahai. He is in his thirties and can even teach children. He also went to school when he was a child and can recognize a few words.
"Girl Su, I heard you saw a fairy?"
The village chief asked Su Qing in his hoarse voice.
"Yes, Grandpa Village Chief. But the old god told me that if I tell you my wealth, he will not come to help me and will curse our village."
When the village chief heard that the village would be harmed, he stopped asking about ways to make money.
Su Qing also understood him. After all, there was a way to make money, and who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
"But don't worry, grandpa, I will not forget you. With the permission of the old god, I will take you all to make money together."
Su Qing continued.
After all, everyone lives in the same village and has a similar living standard. If any family suddenly gets rich, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the villagers.
And she also knows this truth, so she will give some tips to the villagers appropriately. But if they are greedy, don't blame her for not giving them a penny.
After hearing Su Qing's words, the village chief stopped talking about this matter, and instead talked about other things.
Su Qing was also very talkative. As we chatted, we arrived at the town government office.
As soon as Su Qing entered the yamen, she saw Wang Er, who had helped her last time. She sweetly called him uncle.
Wang Er was so happy that even the contract for Su Qing to buy the mountain was handled with Wang Er's help.
The mountains here are generally under the jurisdiction of the yamen. They have no names before they are sold. The names have to be given by the owner after they are sold.
Su Qing bought a mountain and named it Nuanshan. She named it Nuanshan because of the high temperature of the mountain.
Generally, no one is cultivating the mountainous land and they are not willing to plant it, so the price is very cheap, basically ten cents per acre.
The mountains Su Qing wanted to buy were contiguous, so she bought two nearby mountains, spending a total of fifteen carloads of silver.
Wang Er was also surprised at why Su Qing had changed so much, to which Su Qing still replied that he had been guided by the gods.
Sure enough, it’s cool to have gods take the blame, since no one can prove that gods don’t exist anyway.
After everything was done, Su Qing was so happy that she almost couldn't see her eyes.
After she returned home, she practiced Taekwondo several times in the yard. When Aunt Jinhua asked her where she learned it, Su Qing still blamed the old god in her dream.
I have been quite busy during this period, and Su Qing's taekwondo skills are a bit rusty, but after practicing a few times, I regained my previous feeling.
Moreover, life at home was going well during this period, and there was meat every meal, so Su Qing also gained a lot of weight, but she still looked a little thin.
Su Qing patted her cheek. As the saying goes, the body is the capital of revolution, she made up her mind to eat more in every meal in the future and take good care of her body so that she can make better money.
Of course, her little face must be well protected. She doesn't expect to be beautiful in the future, but she must at least see it through and she must not grow ugly again.
Besides, Mrs. Tian is very good-looking, Su Changyun is not bad looking, and Wen Sheng and Wen Hai are both so cute and lovable. She believes that she will be good looking in the future.
Su Qing was happy for a while, then suppressed her emotions and thought about what to do next.
Now that there are enough red fruits, she needs to recruit some people to go to the mountains to pick the red fruits and process them.
As for Zuixian Tower, if they couldn't find the red fruit, they would naturally come to her, so she wasn't worried at all that she wouldn't be able to earn money from Zuixian Tower.
If Shopkeeper Wang of Zuixian Tower knew what Su Qing was thinking at this time, he would praise Su Qing for being so smart and making good calculations.
When it was time for dinner, Su Qing made a stir-fried kidney flower, which Aunt Jinhua raved about.
She sent a copy to Xiao Cheng as usual. Xiao Cheng's injury was no longer serious and he would be fully recovered in a few days.
Xiao Cheng acted quickly. When Su Qing went there, he had already repaired the roof and windows of the deserted courtyard. He just wanted to strengthen the walls and beams of the courtyard and there would be no big problem.
