Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Chapter 233 Buying rough things to make a mother-in-law

This new house seems to have been built in the past two or three years. The trees in the courtyard are not thick and the courtyard walls are still relatively new.

The entire house covers an area of ​​800 square meters, so it is worth thousands of taels of silver.

The two-entry courtyard that Xie Chengan bought in Fucheng was smaller than this, but it cost two thousand taels of silver. This is the difference between a prefectural city and a county town.

If one were to buy such a big house in Qingsong County, three hundred taels of silver would be enough.

What's more, this house is quite close to the county government office and is located in a relatively good street. In addition, the furnishings, beds, furniture, etc. in each house are all newly replaced.

In particular, the main room is elegantly decorated, and the bedroom on the left has a boudoir style, but is not conventional. Half of the right bedroom has been set up as a study room.

No wonder Mrs. Yu didn't dare to live in the main room. It was obvious that Xie Chengan had put a lot of thought into leaving it specially for Su Mulan.

This guy is new to the job and is very busy with everything. He actually bought a house for her and even took great care to decorate it properly.

The more Su Mulan thought about it, the sweeter it became, and even the air became a little sweet.

No, she looked up and saw the incense balls hanging on the bed curtain.

Ye Yu and others are not very good at housework, but they are very familiar with the things in this big house. Before Sumulan went to bed, she made the incense balls.

When Sumulanti sniffed it, she could tell that it was agarwood as a base, mixed with benzoin, sandalwood, and even the smell of daisies.

There were also two or three kinds of fragrances that she didn't quite recognize. The more she smelled them, the more peaceful and peaceful she felt.

Amidst the hazy aroma, Su Mulan gradually fell asleep.

A dreamless night, a dark and sweet sleep.

It was around midnight the next day that Su Mulan woke up faintly.

It was already bright.

The Su family and the six girls all know that Su Mulan likes to sleep in. Therefore, the Su family's morning meal is usually around ten o'clock.

Although she has been here for two years, Su Mulan still cannot adapt to the current work and rest habits. It's only four or five o'clock in the morning at the fifth watch, and most people have already gotten up, and the sky is bright.

For example, county government officials have to report for duty at Mao hour, which is called Dian Mao. It was only six or seven o'clock at this time.

Tatsuki is from 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning, also known as morning meal. This is the time when most people have breakfast.

Just because Su Mulan really couldn't get up, in the past two years, everyone knew about her problem and would not wait for her to eat together.

After the dinner last night, Su Mulan had roughly set everyone's tasks, but she just didn't want to get up early.

When Ye Yu saw her getting up, he brought warm water for her to wash up. Even the toothpaste is carefully packed and placed next to the basin.

This morning, I was not as cautious as when I first came here. In addition to Su Xiaobai and Su Xier, toothpaste and toothbrushes were also given to Mrs. Yu and the six girls.

Even for daily necessities such as facial cleanser, shampoo, and shower gel, Su Mulan also unpacked them and squeezed them into ceramic jars for everyone to use.

Although there are bath beans and rice water, Su Mulan is not used to using them.

After washing up, Ye Yu served pancakes, fried dough sticks, pancakes, rice dumplings, salt and pepper golden cakes, Wanshou cakes, steamed buns with shredded bamboo shoots, millet porridge, plus seven or eight kinds of kimchi, pickles, etc. and filled the table.

This is not a luxury for Sumulan.

She asked Ye Yu to buy these things on the street. She wanted to see what everyone in Anlan County ate for breakfast and how it tasted.

This cooking cake is actually very similar to the steamed buns of later generations, but it has some sesame seeds on it.

The pasta at this time was mostly called cakes. Those cooked with fire are called sesame cakes, and those steamed with water are called steamed cakes. Just to avoid the name taboo of the previous emperor, steaming was changed to cooking.

Those cooked with water are called soup cakes.

Soupcakes are actually similar to handmade lasagna, or knife-cut noodles. In later generations, Northeastern rural areas often ate this kind of thing in the 1980s and 1990s, called noodles.

If you take out the dough and lay it flat, it will be as wide and as long as a belt. After two thousand years, few people eat this.

The so-called steamed buns with shredded bamboo shoots are actually buns stuffed with shredded bamboo shoots in later generations.

This is just a change in name.

Just like fried dough sticks, its name in later generations is relatively uniform. But things are different now, and the methods are even more varied.

Other names for fried dough sticks in various places include hemp leaves, glutinous rice balls, Tianluo tendons, fried ghosts, fried steamed buns, semi-cooked glutinous rice buns, fried Chinese cypress and so on.

The kimchi and pickles that Ye Yu bought back from outside are all Anlan's special pickles. Su Mulan took a small bite of each item, and she knew what was going on.

However, unlike Qingsong County, Anlan County has braised vegetables, but there are not many varieties and the price is quite high.

When Su Mulan saw that there were braised vegetables, she asked her to bring them over, regardless of the strong taste of this for breakfast.

Ye Yu went to the kitchen and brought out a tray, but there were four plates of braised vegetables. Braised pork, braised eggs, braised chicken, braised pig's feet.

Su Mulan asked carefully, and Ye Yu said that there was a braised meat shop nearby, and the main varieties were these four types.

This was what Su Mulan was worried about. Qingsong County was more remote after all, and there were few people in the county making braised vegetables.

Anlan County has convenient transportation, connecting the north and the south, and the food area is relatively rich. At least there are braised vegetables. But from the looks of it, they mainly sell to wealthy households, so they mostly sell braised pork.

If that's the case, then she might as well just cook vegetarian dishes. Braised vegetables, kimchi, pickled vegetables. Since we already have the pickles, we won’t do it anymore.

Su Mulan had just finished breakfast when Yu came back.

She went out early in the morning with her son Wang San to buy someone, but she brought back two women in their fifties, two servants in their thirties, and four rough-and-tumble girls aged fourteen or fifteen.

Mrs. Yu handed a stack of personal deeds to Su Mulan and told the origins of these people in detail.

One of them was a skinny woman named Yu. She was an old widow from the countryside who had no children. She was good at needlework and other tasks.

The other woman, whose surname is Zhu, is relatively stronger. She and a servant named Hong were mother and daughter who depended on each other for life.

It is said that in the early years, the Hong family married into a landlord's family to add to their family. She did not want to give birth to a girl in three years and was abandoned by the landlord. Since he had no permanent property, he came to the county town to make a living.

Mrs. Zhu was just like a servant in the landlord's house, doing only menial work. Ms. Hong is good at cooking, and her daughter also came with her, one of the four rough girls.

The other three girls were sold to the dental industry by their father and brother because their families were poor.

She is a country girl who is illiterate and has no skills. Her appearance is ordinary, even a little ugly. They can only be sold to rich families to do menial chores.

Eight people only spent thirty taels of silver!

Only the Hong family, who has a somewhat delicate appearance and good cooking skills, is worth ten taels of silver, while the other seven are only worth three taels each!

Because we bought eight people together, under Yu's price reduction, the tooth shop gave them a tael of silver free of charge.

Their net worth is much lower than that of Ye Yu and others. Ye Yu's six girls originally spent fifty taels of silver on Su Mulan, and they were also given a monthly payment of six hundred cash.
