Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

Chapter 451 The whole family enters the county

The mother and daughter were still tinkering in the kitchen, but Su's father had already finished it and was urging him in the yard, "Are you two okay? It's time to go."

"Here it comes, here it comes!" Su Ziling came out with a bowl, "Hey, why don't you try my olives?"

"Are they those licorice olives you soaked?" There was a skewer in the bowl. Su's father poked one, took a bite and nodded, "Yeah, it's really good. It tastes much better than the raw ones. Mix it like this." , the taste is different again,”

As he spoke, he ate another one and nodded frequently, "When I get back, I will go to the mountains to pick it for you. I know where it is."

Su Ziling raised her chin, "I also know where it is. I made a note of it when I went to pick up fungi in the past few days."

Su's father raised his brows slightly and tapped her forehead with his finger, "You don't know where I'm talking about. The olives there are bigger, much bigger than this."

"Grandma, you want to try one too." Su Ziling handed one to Su Ah Nai. Su's father saw this and took one off, "Your grandma can't eat this."

Su A'nai stood nearby, raised her hand and slapped him in the face, laughing and scolding: "I can't eat it, but you can eat it, right?"

Su's father was a little confused. He hadn't been beaten in many years. This sudden incident made him feel a little aggrieved. "Didn't you say you couldn't eat the one you mixed last time? You ate the tooth cake."

Su Ah tasted one piece of milk and said, "It was last time, and now is now. I didn't want to eat it last time, but I want to eat it today."

After finishing one, she took another one and didn't forget to give feedback to Su Ziling, "It tastes really good. Who would have known it was an olive? I think we can pick more and soak them again, as long as the jar is full of oil." It won’t go bad. You can soak it and sell it in March or April next year. Even an old woman like me who doesn’t like olives likes it. This food is definitely easy to sell.”

"Sure!" Su Ziling agreed with a smile, "Grandpa, please go to Lao Wangtou's house later and ask him to help make a few large vats for us to soak the olives. Grandma, if you have time, help roast some peppers. You can bake it in a kiln, otherwise it will be too slow to use Zimu ash." (Note: Zimu ash is warm stove ash)

"Okay, we've made a note of it. You should leave as soon as possible. Don't be late."

Su A'nai took the bowl and urged them to set off while eating olives.

As the New Year approaches, there are many more caravans coming and going in the county, and the business in restaurants and mountain passes is better than usual.

Especially the dry vermicelli in Shan'ao, most of which sell for 50 to 60 jins a day, but recently they can sell for 100 jins a day, and the most sold for more than 150 jins in one day.

This is still dry vermicelli, not boiled hot and sour vermicelli.

It's the same in restaurants. It's usually delivered once every five days. It has increased from one hundred kilograms to one hundred and fifty kilograms, and now it has reached more than two hundred kilograms, and there is even a faint trend of increasing upwards.

There were a lot of people today, Su's father, Su Zizhong, and Su Ziling's mother and daughter. The four of them picked up three hundred kilograms of vermicelli. They also picked up a load of other miscellaneous vegetables, condiments, and the like.

Originally, he wanted Twenty to go with him, but there were only two old people at home, and there were people from workshops nearby, so Su Ziling simply left him behind.

In the cold winter morning, there was dew on the grass and the ground was a little wet. In addition, they were still carrying things, so the group of four walked a little slowly.

Not long after entering the mountain, everyone's trouser legs got wet. Su's mother also wore new clothes, which made her feel very distressed along the way.

After leaving the forest and arriving at the entrance of Sangshuping Village, the sun had not yet reached the village. Su Ziling put the things on the roadside and said, "You guys rest here for a while, and I'll ask if there is an oxcart."

It takes two hours to walk from here to the county. If we really have to walk, I'm afraid the meat will be sold out. If we find a bullock cart at once, the time will go much faster.

Su's mother was worried and wanted to follow her, but Su's father pulled her back and said, "Don't go. She is familiar with this village. She comes here often. It's okay."

Mother Su frowned and said, "You go and take a look. What if someone has a dog?"

Due to Su's mother's pressure, Su's father put down his burden and chased after him. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Su Ziling looked back and said, "Dad? Why are you here?"

Father Su raised his hand and pointed behind him, "Your mother doesn't trust you, so she asked me to follow you and take a look."

Su Ziling nodded, smiled and said nothing, indicating that she understood.

When the father and daughter arrived at the door of Old Uncle Li's house, smoke was rising from the roof of their house. Old Uncle Li came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket. Su Ziling called him, "Uncle Li!"

Hearing the sound, he was stunned for a moment, then with a smile on his face, he put down the bucket and hurried over to greet her, "Qing Yatou? Why do you have time to come here? It doesn't seem like it's time to enter the county today, right?"

When Su Ziling and others went to the county to deliver things, they usually asked Old Man Li to deliver them to them, so he also recorded the time when he entered the county.

On the day he entered the county, he would basically not arrange any work. Even if there was work, he would do it early or postpone it to the next day.

"Hey, I haven't arrived yet. No, I wanted to make some bacon and sausages this year. I wanted to go to the county to buy some meat. It's not easy to go back and forth, so I thought of sending the things together. Today I have to trouble you, Mr. Li. Yes, are you free today?"

"Yes, yes, hey, if it's no trouble, come in and do it. Your aunt is cooking. It's just after dinner and it won't be too late for us to go back to the county."

Old Man Li smiled and called the two of them to come in.

"No, no, we came here after eating. Uncle, you can go in and eat. We will just wait in the courtyard for a while." Su Ziling waved her hand and quickly refused.

Aunt Li, who heard the commotion, heard Su Ziling's words as soon as she came out of the house, "Going to buy meat, right? You have to go early. It's approaching the New Year, and the meat is very popular. If you go late, I'm afraid it will be gone."

As she said this, she looked at Old Man Li and said, "Stop eating and get out of the oxcart quickly. I'll pack you two nests and you can eat them on the way. If you're still hungry, go to the county for a bowl of soup."

Aunt Li is impatient. As she said this, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare steamed buns for Old Man Li.

Old Man Li smiled and said, "Your aunt is so impatient. Please wait for me for a while. I will hitch the ox cart."

"Old man, don't be in a hurry. You eat first."

Not in a hurry?

It's a lie, but you can't let people send them away hungry. Besides, eating doesn't take much time.

"No, no, we usually only eat after noon (11:00-13:00). We are not hungry now, so we will send you to the county first."

As he spoke, Old Man Li went to hitch the ox cart. Over there, Aunt Li's buns were also packed. She also helped fill a pot of water, wrapped it in banana leaves, and handed two to each of Su Ziling and the others when they came out.

"Today's steamed vegetable wotou is made with gray vegetables and shepherd's purse. I beat an egg and added some white flour. It tastes good. You guys should try it too."

As she spoke, she looked at Old Man Li and said, "Your old man likes this one. The vegetables are served with pickled pickles. He can eat several in one meal."

Su Ziling didn't answer, "Auntie, we really can't eat. We only came out after eating. You wrap it up for Old Man Li. I'll ask him for some if I get hungry on the way."

"Eh, that's fine too."

It happened that Old Man Li's bullock cart was also hitched. There was a small basket in front of the cart. Aunt Li put the water and cornstarch in it and got him twenty coins.

He warned him carefully, "I have put a few nests for you to eat while walking on the road. There is also a pot of water in it. You can take the money and buy a bowl of soup when you get hungry in the county."
