The master that Mrs. Chen is talking about is also Master Chen, her husband. Both of them are old and have never had children of their own. Master Chen is a Jinshi, and he was already in his forties when he passed the exam.

Aunt Chen had been with him for as many years as he had been taking the exam. Seeing that his wife was getting thinner and graying due to hard work, he decided to give up and not take the exam.

Moreover, he is a rigid person and cannot learn the tricks of hypocrisy and coercion. So what if he passes the exam? The court is in turmoil, and one careless move could lead to a loss in everything.

Finally, he figured out that serving the imperial court did not necessarily require entering the imperial court, so he returned to Yongchang County with Aunt Chen.

His parents left within two years of his return, and he also had an elder brother at home. He did not want the fields, but chose to open a primary school in the county and took Aunt Chen to teach here.

He couldn't make much money, just enough for food and clothing. He often told Aunt Chen that he couldn't help her.

Originally, he was supposed to teach children over thirteen years old, but he was the one who tested Su Zimu that day when he entered school. He told his wife that night that this child is smart. As long as he is not led astray by others and can withstand the temptation, he will pass the test. Being a Jinshi is no problem.

Later, he would open a small stove for Su Zimu from time to time, and his actions attracted the young master's attention.

Su Ziling was very happy after hearing this. She didn't expect this naughty brat to be quite popular.

"It will be a while before they finish school. If you have anything else to do, go and do it. When he finishes school, I will tell him to wait for you here."

Aunt Chen also knows that their home is far away and it is not easy to go out, so they must buy a lot of things every time they go out.

Su Ziling had a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Then please help me tell Zimu and ask him to wait for me here after school. I really have a lot of things that I need to buy here."

"Go, go, be careful when shopping and put your money away." Aunt Chen smiled and waved her hand.

Su Ziling carried a backpack on her back and walked much more briskly. She knew that Su Zimu would just get used to it, and she would ask more details after he came out.

The teahouse that Su Ziling went to first sold the tea leaves picked in the past two days. They only brought five kilograms of century-old tea, and left the rest to Lu Anyu and the others.

Ordinary tea leaves weigh fifteen kilograms. This time I picked quite a lot, probably because it had just rained.

The tea was sold for a total of twenty-seven taels of silver. During the checkout, the shopkeeper kept whispering in Su Ziling's ears that there was too little century-old tea, so he asked her to pick more and the price could be increased.

This time he really increased the price. Originally, the century-old tea was 2 taels and 2 cents per catty, but now it was directly increased to 2 taels and 4 cents. Su Ziling got an extra tael of silver.

After coming out of the teahouse, Su Ziling went directly to buy meat. When making fungus sauce at home, the oil goes out very quickly. The lean meat is fine, but I just add a little to it to enhance the flavor.

She bought ten kilograms of fat meat, ten kilograms of pork belly, and five kilograms of lean meat. No one wanted the pig's head, so she got it for thirty cents, which was equivalent to two kilograms of meat. It was quite a bargain.

The fat intestines were sold, but there were still two big pig bones. Butcher Yang was very generous and gave them to Su Ziling.

Every time you come here, he will give you some bones or cut an extra two ounces of meat for you. After a long time, Su Ziling feels quite embarrassed.

So when I came out today, I brought him two bowls of tofu. This made Butcher Yang very happy. He said that he had eaten it twice and his wife went to buy it, but many times it was sold out when she went there.

By chance, he happened to buy some to try. He happily took the tofu and threw two more bones into Su Ziling's basket.

Su Ziling didn't refuse either. When you interact with others, there will be comings and goings.

The meat purchase cost her a total of four hundred and fifty-five cents. She put the meat in a basket on her back and went to the grain and oil shop.

The 120 kilograms of noodles she bought last time are not much left. She wants to buy more this time. Now four to five hundred steamed buns are not enough to sell every day. If she buys more noodles, she can increase the amount appropriately.

Before going out this morning, I made an agreement with Su's father and the others to wait at the entrance of Old Man Li's village so that he could help carry flour, otherwise they would not be able to get back.

Hearing the footsteps, the waiter didn't look up and said mechanically, "What do you want to buy, sir?"

"Boy, can you help me deliver it to the city gate?"

Hearing her words, the waiter immediately put down what he was doing. He looked up and saw Su Ziling. He was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. He remembered this person. He was a big customer. He bought more than a hundred kilograms of noodles last time. .

"Yes, if you buy a lot, we can help deliver it to your home."

Su Ziling nodded, and finally ordered fifty catties of white noodles, eighty catties of buckwheat noodles, and eighty catties of black noodles.

A total of three taels and ninety coins were spent, which was double the last time.

After paying the money, Su Ziling asked the waiter to help deliver it to the city gate. When he heard that it was delivered to the city gate, the waiter pushed the cart out, and Su Ziling took him with him to put the grain on the ox cart.

Today is the market, and the man delivering tofu with Old Man Li did not go back early as usual, so Su Ziling put the things in his car and rented his car. It was just a trip back, so she charged fifteen cents. .

After putting away her things, she went to buy some salt and spices. Seeing that it was not yet time for Su Zimu to leave school, she went to Morning Glory Alley alone.

She has wanted to buy a cow for a long time. The last time she came here was because she didn't have enough money. This time, she touched her money bag and found that in addition to the twenty taels she had just received from selling tea, Su A'nai gave her twenty taels alone.

If you see something you like, you can buy it and go back. If you don’t have it, it’s the same thing next time.

As soon as they entered Morning Glory Lane, they saw that she was alone, and she was still a little girl. Basically no one paid attention to her. How much money could such a big person have on her, let alone look after the cows?

Su Ziling didn't care and just watched by herself. Everyone thought she didn't understand, so no one bothered her, so she looked more carefully.

In her last life, her grandpa and grandma had raised several cows. When she went home during the holidays, she would either herd the cows or cut the grass. She was sure of seeing the cows or something. (As mentioned earlier, her family raised cows in her previous life, so she really knows how to look after cows)

When others were looking at the cows, someone would come up to ask or introduce them. Su Ziling was really ignored. She looked over and saw nothing that she liked.

Moreover, these people were asking random prices. Just when she thought she would leave empty-handed today, a cow in the corner caught her attention.

She stopped and took a closer look. The people selling the cattle were her grandfather and grandson. The granddaughter looked to be about the same age as Axiu, about seven or eight years old. She sat obediently on the stone, holding an egg-sized egg in her hand. The wowotou was so hard that she poured some water out and swallowed it.

The old man’s hair was gray, his clothes were patched, and even the straw sandals on his feet were quite damaged.
