Wang Zhanghua and the others were waiting at the gate of the city. When they saw Su Ziling coming out alone, several of them were happy, "Did Er Niu pass?"

Su Ziling nodded, "I passed."

"Oh, let me tell you, this kid Erniu has been smart since he was a child, so he will be fine." Wang Zhanghua grinned from ear to ear, "Then has he settled down there? Did he buy all the things?"

"It's settled. Fourth uncle, don't worry. Come on, let's go back." Su Ziling got on the bullock cart.

"Our old Su family finally has another scholar. With Er Niu's cleverness, he might even be able to become a scholar."

"Whether he takes the exam to be a scholar is another matter. I just thought it would be good if he can recognize a few more words and study more." Su Ziling didn't have the idea that he must take the exam to be a scholar. It would be good to be able to take the exam. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam. If you learn a few more words, you won't be deceived when you go out.

The bullock cart was rickety along the way. When they returned to Old Man Li and his village, Su Ziling set a time with him, and the fourth uncle and the others would come by themselves tomorrow.

When I got home, the sun was almost setting. Even though I came early to settle in Su Zimu's school today, it still took a lot of time.

The afterglow of the setting sun in the sky casts golden light on the fish-scale clouds, and the smoke from cooking smoke curls up over the village, then drifts away in the wind.

Returning geese fly across the sky, leaving behind their cries, and the air is filled with the faint aroma of food.

Let people who are already hungry feel more eager to return home.

"Fourth uncle, aunt, come in and sit down!" When they arrived at the door of the house, Su Ziling persuaded them to stay.

"It's getting late, so we won't sit down. You can go in quickly. I guess everyone in the family is worried about Er Niu." The fourth uncle waved her hand and refused.

Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, Su's mother stood up and opened the door, "Are you back?"

Then his eyes fell on Wang Zhanghua and the others, "Fourth Aunt, Chunxiang, come in and sit down, it's already at the door of our house."

"I really don't want to sit down anymore. You guys should go back quickly." The fourth uncle smiled and looked at Su Ziling, "Xiaoqing, then we will do the same thing tomorrow morning as we did today. Come over in time."

"Okay, we will prepare it in advance," Su Ziling nodded, "then fourth uncle, please go slowly, I won't leave you alone."

When Wang Zhanghua and the others were there, Li Peilan was relatively stable. As soon as this person left, she couldn't wait to ask about the situation, "How is it? Did Erniu go in?"

Su Ziling: "..."

This is a blessing now. If you were to speak like this in modern times, people would think Su Zimu had broken some law.

"It's done. I handed it over to Shu Xiu and bought pen, ink, paper and inkstones." Su Ziling took a sip of water, "The next time I come back it will be ten days later, and I will have one day off after ten days."

Mother Su breathed a sigh of relief and frowned when she thought of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, "Those things aren't cheap, are they?"

Su Ziling nodded, "A little bit. Shu Xiu paid 20 taels, the food expenses are 500 taels, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are about 4 taels."

Everyone gasped.

"No wonder people say that studying is a waste of money. Just this short time has equaled our annual income." Mr. Su took a sip of tea and calmed down.

At the mention of money, the atmosphere felt a lot gloomier. "There is no one who doesn't spend money on studying. Grandpa, if you think about it, it's just a matter of picking a few more baskets of tea leaves. It's not a big problem."

Then she changed the subject, "Have you gone to see the tea leaves today?"

Mr. Su's attention was indeed drawn back, "I stopped by to take a look. It's almost ready for picking."

Su Ziling nodded, "Let's get up early tomorrow and make the tofu early. When the fourth uncle and the others come, they can pick it out."

"Now we don't have to sell or deliver tofu, so it's relatively easy. Aunt Liu and the others should go pick leaves. Grandpa, you go pick tea leaves tomorrow. I'll let the noodles rise tonight, and then I'll go to the col with my brother and the others tomorrow. Let's see if Aunt Ji can handle it by herself. If she can, I'll leave it to her."

Su Ziling arranged tomorrow's work in an orderly manner. No one had any objections. Seeing this, Su A'nai stood up and said, "Since everything has been discussed, let's start dinner. Do what you should do after dinner."

After dinner, Su Ziling went to wash the mushrooms, Bai Wei and the others were responsible for cutting them, and Su's father and the others were responsible for pounding the sweet potatoes. Although they couldn't do much in a day, they added up.

There are too many things to do during the day, so I only have this little free time after finishing work.

The fungi were frying in the pot, and Su Ziling went to bake the noodles again. This time she made more dough, and directly kneaded twenty kilograms of noodles. One kilogram of noodles makes twenty buns, and twenty kilograms equals four hundred.

Four hundred steamed buns cost 800 Wen, and tofu can also be sold in the mountain valley. It is estimated that it can be sold for about four tons a day, which is not much different from that in the county.

One bucket has thirty bowls, eight buckets equals two hundred and forty bowls, which is seven hundred and twenty coins, which feels about the same as the profit from steamed buns.

But the cost of steamed buns is high, and tofu is almost the net profit, so tofu is more cost-effective.

But in the long run, if the number of steamed buns can keep up, it will be quite profitable.

Sweet potato flour is almost rationed now. I see that there is not enough flour, but I haven’t been able to get around to making flour. Now it is about 150 bowls a day. With eggs, meat, etc., I can probably have one cup a day. One thousand seventy-eight hundred Wen, close to two taels of silver.

Fungus paste is unstable. Su Ziling has only bought it for two days, but basically sells as much as she can. Tomorrow she plans to get twenty jars, which is one tael of silver.

There is also tea money, which can be sold for more than one hundred and close to two hundred cents a day.

After all these miscellaneous calculations, the daily income is about four taels of silver, which seems quite a lot. After deducting the costs, the profit...

Hehe, it's quite impressive. According to the situation, in one month, there will be a hundred taels of silver.

Oh, and there is also the tofu in the county. Although they don’t sell it, they can still make several hundred yuan a day.

There are more than ten taels of silver in a month.

Su Ziling was lying on the bed, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. If this continued, she would be able to buy cattle at the end of the month.

Su Ziling has always wanted to buy a cow. It will be much more convenient to go to the mountain col. When the time comes to harvest crops, it can also be used to carry crops and plow the land. Having a cow will be much more convenient.

After paying off the debt, Su Zimu still had a dozen or twenty taels left over after paying off the debt. Su Zimu spent a few taels on schooling, so he never saved enough money, and with such a small amount of money, he really couldn't give it to Huo Huo all at once.

That night, Su Ziling had a dream. The dream was full of money. She kept picking up and picking up with a basket on her back. A gust of wind blew by, and the dust narrowed her eyes. She shook her head, and when she looked at the road again, she found those The money is gone.

She looked at the cow dung in her hand and felt that she was not feeling well. Then she looked back at the basket on her back. She had a basket full of money...

All turned into cow dung...

She was so angry that she sat down on the road and howled, then woke up howling. The most shameful thing was that when she woke up, the corners of her eyes were wet.
