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

Sugar is a luxury item, costing more than a hundred yuan per pound!

Looking at the amount, it's half a catty.

"Girl Mulan, I've heard of you. You are the girl who broke off the engagement with that scholar. It's not easy to make money, so don't spend it frivolously. I'll accept this piece of meat. You'd better take the candy back."

Old Master Yang said with sympathy in his eyes.

It was such a good thing to marry a scholar, but the engagement was called off.

Life is already difficult, so there is no point spending more money on these places.

Besides, it was his first time to come to the village to become an apprentice since he was studying in the village, and he only got a piece of meat. This was the first time he saw someone bring this candy.

"Thank you, Master, for your consideration. However, this gift has already been given. How can I take it back? Don't worry, Master. Since I can get it, it means it's not that difficult."

When Old Master Yang saw that Su Mulan was neither humble nor arrogant, unlike most people who always felt a little frightened when they saw him, he felt even more satisfied.

"The old man accepted it shamelessly. Don't worry, although I am only a child, I am enlightened enough."

Old Master Yang took the exam until he was in his 30s, but he still failed to pass the exam.

But as he said, he knew all the enlightenment books by heart.

Su Xi'er was very eye-catching, and immediately sat down and helped the old master light the fire.

The two sides chatted for a while and agreed to study for two hours every morning and take one day off every six days.

Su Xiaobai still felt that he had too little time to study, but considering his master's age, he couldn't say much.

Su Mulan thought it was perfectly fine. Studying four hours a day was actually just one course, which was completely enough.

Besides, you can study at home after school.

After the three siblings took their leave, Old Master Yang cut off half a piece of meat with great satisfaction and planned to have a delicious meal.

After Su Mulan returned home with her siblings, she took out the two clothes left by Xie Chengan.

"The material is really good, and the color is nice, but it's a little too big. Let's go find Sister Liu to have it changed."

Su Xiaobai was a little regretful: "Sister, it's a pity that this is a straight dress. You can see if it can be changed into women's clothes. You and your sister can each wear one. I don't have to wear this."

Su Mulan laughed out loud, what a silly brother!

"Don't Xi'er and I both have clothes to wear? From now on, you will be a scholar, so you should dress politely."

The three siblings went to Aunt Liu's house together again.

"Girl Mulan, why are you here?"

"Aunt Liu, didn't you say you could change your clothes last time? Look, I brought two clothes for you to change for Xiao Bai."

Aunt Liu was dazzled by the two pairs of clothes: "The material is so good. If you buy it, it will cost at least one tael of silver per piece. Where does it come from?"

"That young man from Fucheng said he couldn't put on these two clothes, and asked Xiao Bai if he didn't like it... What do you think there is to dislike about Xiao Bai?"

Aunt Liu was speechless: "Why do you dislike these clothes? I will definitely change them for Xiao Bai and make them look very decent."

Aunt Liu kept measuring Xiaobai's body with her hands.

"I wonder how much it would cost to change two clothes?"

Aunt Liu was not polite: "Girl Mulan, the craftsmanship fee to make a set of clothes is at least a hundred yuan. It won't be much different if you change it. Look, I'll charge seven to make two clothes. Ten coins, not expensive, right? Mainly, it’s not that it’s too short. It’s not torn if I sew it on. I can patch it up at will. I have to make it fit according to Xiaobai’s body size. His shoulders are wide and his waist is thick. Ah, everything is in place..."

Aunt Liu was afraid that Su Mulan would find it too expensive and wanted to explain.

Su Xiaobai did think it was expensive. Buying one at a second-hand stall only cost [-] yuan.

But Su Mulan thought it was reasonable. After all, the material was good. If the craftsmanship was not good, it would be a waste of material.

"I think so, let's change it. I just want Auntie to take some trouble to change it."

Aunt Liu burst into laughter: "That's natural. You can rest assured of Auntie's craftsmanship. You won't even be able to tell that it has been altered."

"I just sent Xiaobai to Old Master Yang and handed over Shu Xiu. I don't have any copper coins with me. I'll give you the money after I exchange them for copper coins in two days."

The two hundred coins that Su Mulan had with her were all given to Old Master Yang, and she no longer has them with her.

Aunt Liu agreed wholeheartedly and was even more envious: "Send Xiaobai to study! Xiaobai, you must study hard and not let down your eldest sister's heart. From now on, Xiaobai will be the scholar in our village. There are fifty or sixty households in our village. There are only a few scholars out there.”

Su Xiaobai cast his grateful eyes on Su Mulan. His parents were still alive before, but they never thought of sending him to study.

Although his father is dead and his mother has remarried, his eldest sister is only a few years older than him, but she wants to send him to study.

Su Mulan also smiled: "As long as Xiaobai has talent, I will naturally support him. If he has no talent, we don't have any extravagant hopes of getting a job, but he still has to be able to read."

Su Xiaobai's heart was beating like a drum. Hearing what the eldest sister meant, if he studied well, he would continue to support her.

He was even asked to take the merit examination!

There seemed to be a fire in his heart that was about to burn brightly.

Su Mulan took her younger siblings to leave Aunt Liu's house and went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables before buying tofu.

When Wu, the tofu seller, saw a customer coming, she quickly greeted: "Girl Mulan, are you here to make tofu for us?"

Su Mulan smiled and said: "Yes, Aunt Wu, give me three pieces of tofu."

A pound of tofu is worth two pieces, and a piece of tofu is worth a penny.

Wu earns a lot of money in the village by relying on her tofu-making skills.

Although the tofu at this time was very fishy, ​​it was cheaper and the villagers still bought it from time to time. After all, it was considered an added dish.

Wu quickly packed the tofu for Su Mulan and said, "I see you didn't bring anything to pack it with. Please bring this bowl to you whenever it's convenient for you."

Su Mulan paid and took the tofu.

She smelled it on the way and said, "It's really fishy."

"Sister, this tofu is very fishy, ​​why did you buy three pieces at once?"

Su Xier wrinkled her nose, she didn't like eating this stuff.

"It's okay, I have a way to get rid of the fishy smell."

When she got home, Sumulan boiled a pot of water, added salt, poured it into a basin and let it cool before putting the tofu in it.

After a quarter of an hour, the tofu soaked in salt water was taken out and soaked again in water.

Smell it again and it’s no longer smelly.

Su Xi'er exclaimed the miracle: "Sister, it turns out that it's so easy to get rid of the fishy smell."

"Although it's very simple, you can't yell about it, you know? This is related to our way to make money."

When it comes to making money, isn’t it about poor information?

Why didn’t ancient people know that soaking in salt water can remove the smell?

I'm afraid it's because salt is too valuable, so I don't dare to try it with salt.

But Su Mulan didn't have this problem. She got the salt from her kitchen. Modern salt is so cheap, a pack costs one or two yuan.

She knew that her parents and her body, which had turned into a vegetative state, were now living in the space of her house.

It's a pity that she can't even see...
