You can also put away the land at home first. Anyway, it can be done in a day or two. Making money is still the most important thing now.

Mr. Su pondered for a moment and said, "If we are going to pick up two loads tomorrow, my second brother, you can go with me. I don't think the road to Wangjia Village is difficult to walk. You can help a few children to clear the way."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su A'nai and the others, "You ladies, just pick out the food at home. If you have time in the afternoon, go pick the leaves of the body odor wood that will be used tomorrow."

Su's father agreed, "I understand, Dad."

"Then let's do this for now. It's been a tiring day today, so go to bed early."

Mr. Su got up and walked out.

Having just made money on the first day, everyone was full of energy. Even the youngest Axiu walked over to Su Ziling after Mr. Su left. She took Su Ziling's hand and said, "Sister, I can also sell it." Tofu, pick body odor wood leaves.”

She raised her head and looked at Su Ziling, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky.

She didn’t know how to pick the leaves of the body odor wood, nor how to sell the tofu, but she knew that by selling the tofu, she could eat as much as she had these past few days.

Su Ziling touched her head, "The place that sells tofu is too far away, and Axiu can't go there yet. You are responsible for feeding the chickens at home and sweeping the floor, okay?"

She nodded heavily, "I can!"

"You're so good. Go back to bed. When big sister makes money, I'll buy you sweets!" Su Ziling touched her hair and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Axiu shook her head, "Axiu doesn't want to eat candy!"

"Huh?" Su Ziling raised her eyebrows and said amusedly: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Axiu wants to eat meat!" She said loudly and swallowed after speaking.

Axiu is eight years old this year, but she is still small. From the time she was able to eat to now, she has only eaten meat a handful of times. Especially after tasting a piece of bacon tonight, she wanted to eat it even more.

"Okay!" Su Ziling agreed, "Sister, I will buy you meat when you make money, okay?"

"Yeah!" She nodded, and then took Baiwei to go to bed.

Su Ziling watched her leave. When she turned around, she found Su A'nai hadn't left yet. She sat over and said, "A' Nai, why haven't you gone back to rest?"

Seeing that her face was tired but her eyes were shining, Su A'nai touched her hair and said, "Are you exhausted?"

Su Ziling shook her head, "Grandma, I'm not tired. Thinking about making money makes me full of strength!"

"You, you," Su A'nai looked helpless, smiling and tapping her forehead, "Why have you become so obsessed with money?"

"Grandma, I'm not a money fan. I want to make money so that you can all eat meat, white flour steamed buns, and rice. I want Erniu to go to school, my eldest brother to marry a good wife, and Axiu to learn If you have the skills to be able to stand on your own, let grandma stop doing embroidery, and let grandpa and the others lie on the chair and bask in the sun every day."

"What about you?" Su A'nai asked.

"Me?" Su Ziling was confused for a moment, but soon she smiled, "Me, I'm responsible for making money, and I'm responsible for raising grandma to be white, plump, and as beautiful as a flower!"

"When you step out, grandma will be the most beautiful little old lady in Baihua Cave!"

Su A'nai turned her head to the side, the corners of her eyes turned red. She took out the money and stuffed it into her hand, "Keep this money for yourself, save it, and use it as a dowry in the future."

Su Ziling: "..."

She wanted to say, Grandma, I'm only sixteen!

But then she thought about it, she was no longer in modern times, here, sixteen...she could really get married.

"Grandma, here it is, just keep it. I will make money in the future, lots and lots of money."

Looking at this silly girl, Su A'nai shook her head helplessly and laughed, and finally left half of it for her.

The next morning, Su Ziling had indeed overslept. When she got up, Su's father and third uncle had already picked the leaves of body odor wood. At this time, the whole family was sitting by the well washing the leaves.

Everyone was talking while washing, but their voices were kept very low until they heard the sound of Su Ziling opening the door. Everyone raised their heads and glanced at her, "Are you awake? Wash your face and eat when you wake up."

Mother Su raised her head and glanced at her, then continued cleaning.

"Zizhong, go tell Erniu to get up for dinner!"

Su A'nai was sitting aside embroidering. When she saw Su Ziling, she smiled and said, "How are you doing? Does your leg hurt?"

Su Ziling patted her calf, "It's not bad. It seems that the foot soak Grandma gave me last night was quite useful."

"It's useless. I used to live in the Li family. Their wife liked to use this brew the most. She said it could dispel cold and relieve fatigue."

Su Ziling nodded. Indeed, foot soaking in mugwort can dispel cold and warm the meridians.

At this time, Su's mother raised her head and looked at her, "Ah Qing, we have run out of straw at home, can we use something else? If not, I will go to your Aunt Liu's house to get some."

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "The ashes from the vegetation in the stove hole seem to work. I'll try it later."

For breakfast, I had sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, which were very sweet, and some wild garlic. Sumu beat two eggs and fried them together. There was also a bowl of cold purslane and cold tofu, and finally the soup from which the bacon was cooked last night.

The Tang Sumu was divided into two portions. Half of it was used to cook Hui Hui Cao last night. The other half was hung in the well and used to cook nightshade tips this morning.

Sweet potatoes are not enough as a staple food, so each person has a sweet potato and a bowl of polenta.

Probably because there are more dishes, even the corn mush and sublings don’t feel so unpalatable.

After eating, she first soaked the plant ashes, filtered and then sedimented. The others divided the work and worked together. Those who washed the leaves washed the leaves and those who lit the fire.

After Su Ziling had blanched the leaves, Su's father, his third uncle, and Su Zizhong were responsible for pounding them. They were strong and pounded the leaves very quickly. After pounding, Su Ziling was responsible for filtering and adding alkaline water.

Suddenly, the small courtyard was very busy, like an assembly line. Everyone did what they were doing, and within half an hour, all the tofu was ready.

Seeing the green tofu in the yard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Father Su wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This tofu is much easier than making white tofu."

Mother Su glanced at him, "It's not easy anymore. Ah Qing is doing the most difficult step. Why don't you try adding alkaline water yourself?"

Su's father touched his nose and did not dare to say a word.

"Is this okay?" He looked at Su Ziling.

Su Ziling: "Just wait another two-quarters of an hour (half an hour) until the shape is finalized."

Su Zizhong was already preparing the barrel, and Su Zimu also took out his broken gong. Mr. Su, who was making the barrel, paused and asked, "Why did you take out the gong?"

Su Zimu was no longer afraid at this time, "Knock!"

Mr. Su: "..."

Why are your hands itchy?

Moreover, doesn’t he know that gongs are used for beating?

Su Zimu: "If I don't beat the gong, how will everyone know that we are here to sell tofu? When I sound the gong, everyone in the village will know that we are here to sell tofu. This is much better than shouting."

Mr. Su was silent, then stood up and snatched the gong from his hand, then returned to the room. After a while, he took another one...

Break the gong!

This time the gong was really broken, it was bumpy and the edges were deformed, but the sound was still loud. Su Zimu thought it was better than nothing, so he took it.
