At Shen Shi (15:00-17:00), the three of them had already arrived at Xiaopotou. They set off early today and came directly to Wangjia Village. There was not much delay on the way. In addition, everyone was more cooperative during the sale. The time is naturally much earlier.
Su's father placed the load on the roadside and took the basket. "Zhong'er and I will go pick it up. You two will guard the things here."
Su Ziling knew that if she went, she would be holding him back, and she wouldn't be able to help anyway, so she nodded obediently, sat down on the ground and waited.
Su Zimu shouted for a whole day and didn't want to talk anymore. Seeing Su Ziling sitting on the ground, he followed suit.
In the end, Su Zimu lay down on the lawn, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and the forest birds flying overhead, and asked: "Sister, will I be able to study soon?"
He thought that like this, their family should be able to pay off the money they owe soon. Next year at the latest, he should be able to study. At the age of twelve, although it is a little late, he will study hard and work hard. Study, in the future...
In the future, if I bring my sister and the others to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, they won’t have to sell tofu anymore.
Thinking about the future, his eyes brightened a lot.
Su Ziling turned to look at him. She saw desire and ambition in his eyes. She smiled and touched his head, "Of course, this tofu can be sold for a long time. By then, we can't sell it in this village. Let's find another village." , next year, next year I will definitely let you go to school."
The breeze was gentle, and the two people lying under the tree did not feel the heat at all. They lay on the lawn, so comfortable that they fell asleep.
The wind shook the trees, and the sunlight broke through the clouds, passed through the gaps in the leaves, and scattered on the ground and on the faces of the two people.
Just when they were about to fall asleep, Father Su and the others came back, "Why are you lying on the ground? Get up quickly, be careful of catching a cold!"
The two stood up, stretched out, and looked at the lush leaves in the basket. Su Ziling raised her eyebrows, "Why do I feel that these leaves are bigger than those in Xiaopingshan?"
Su's father lifted up the backpack and put it on Su Ziling's back, "Xiaoping Mountain is relatively dry and doesn't have much moisture. If there is more moisture here, the leaves will naturally be bigger."
Su Ziling nodded, "Are there many here?"
"It's okay, it's okay to sell it for a few days." Su's father replied.
The few people walked very quickly, and Shen Shimo arrived home. (17:00)
When they got home, Mr. Su's bucket had already been made. Su A'nai was sitting not far from the old man, embroidering. The two of them were chatting happily.
Su's mother and Bai Wei had just come back from picking leaves and were washing them. They thought that the well water would be cooler in the morning, so they would wash them in the afternoon and they could start cooking directly tomorrow morning.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, several people working in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked up towards the door.
Seeing that it was them, several people put down what they were doing and came over to follow them.
"Why is it so early today?"
Father Su wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled so hard, "I'd better go pick a basket of leaves, otherwise I'd be back earlier."
He went into the room and took a drink of water to moisten his throat, "You don't know how good the business is. As soon as Erniu's gong sounded, those people rushed out and immediately surrounded us in the time it took to catch their breath. And they bought more, one Wangjia Village sold out two loads of tofu."
"Is it so easy to sell?" Mother Su also looked in disbelief.
"You didn't see that scene. Everyone was so frightened that they thought it was a famine." Su's father said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at the old man and said, "Dad, I think we can sell more. These two loads of tofu will be sold out in no time."
Su Ziling disagreed. She looked at Su's father and said, "I think we should do it at two loads for the time being. Just two loads per day. If we sell it for a few days, I guess there will be fewer people eating it."
"When we can't sell it anymore, let's look at other villages."
"After all, our family's land is also busy, so we can't spare all the time to sell tofu, right?"
When Mr. Su heard that this was the truth, he nodded, "What Qing Yatou said makes sense. As you are doing now, two loads a day is pretty good. If you can't sell it later, go to other villages. "
He looked at the food picked up by several people and said, "Just sell it for a few months, plus our own food, I guess this year's food will be enough."
Su Ziling didn't say anything. Her original intention was not just to have enough food to eat, she wanted to make money!
She thought that selling tofu was not a long-term solution, and she would have to go to town to see it.
Thinking about it, she looked at Mr. Su and said, "Grandpa, I plan to go to the town to have a look after selling for two more days."
Grandma Su controls the money, but it is Mr. Su who is responsible for the crime.
Mr. Su stopped his movements and looked up at her, "What do you want to buy? The road is too far. If you want to buy something, I'll see who is going out and ask them to help carry it."
Su Ziling shook her head, "I want to see if there is any small business I can do. Get up early then, and let's load up a few loads of tofu and try it out."
When Mr. Su heard this, he was silent. He felt that Su Ziling was still naive.
"The mountain road is difficult to walk. It will take about an hour and a half to walk to the town. It's unbearable to go back and forth, let alone carrying a load of tofu."
Su Ziling frowned, this was something she hadn't considered.
Father Su, who had been out of the mountains, obviously thought of something. He laughed and said, "After climbing this mountain, you will reach the main road. There is a village over there with ox carts. How about I go and ask about renting oxen for a day?" Car, let’s pick up a few more loads of tofu?”
Su Ziling's eyes lit up, "Grandpa, is that okay?"
"Okay, then just wait for two more days. The market was yesterday. I guess there are not many people there now. In a few days, let your father find the oxcart in advance. Let's make tofu for breakfast, one person per load. I guess it can be done." .”
Hearing his consent, Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to take a look and find out what else she could do. Selling tofu would allow her to eat and drink without worries, but she couldn't do anything else, such as paying off debts and so on. Su Zimu is going to school, and Su Zizhong is getting older and will probably get a wife by then.
Thinking of this, she burst out laughing. She was obviously just a little girl, but now it was good, and she was worried about the old lady.
Seeing this, Su A'nai glanced at her and said with a smile, "Are you so happy to be able to go to town?"
Su Ziling rubbed her nose, "Happy," she lay next to Su A'nai's ear and whispered, "The main reason is that I'm hungry for meat, and I don't have any oil or salt at home, so I have to go take a look."
Grandma smiled and nodded her head without saying anything.
