Scholar's Sweetheart

"I met Mrs. Zhang at the banyan tree." Song Xintong also did not hide, said directly, "pull the time was hit."

"What? It's Mrs. Zhang again. I'll go to her! " Aunt Xie said and rushed out. Song Xintong ran to stop her, "don't go, aunt."

"How can we not go? It's swollen like this. We can't eat this stuffy loss."

"I kicked it back, too." Song Xintong said in a low voice, "it's not reasonable to talk with her. It's better to stay away from her. As long as she doesn't trouble me, I won't have a hard time with her."

"Xintong, you are too benevolent. Do you know that Renshan is bullied? You're not going to appreciate your avoiding her like this. " Aunt Xie said with disapproval.

Song Xintong pulled her back, "I can't fight or scold, and that's all I can do. Moreover, village head Wan is very unwilling to do justice for me. They are all looking forward to song Changyuan's entrance to the scholar's college."

Aunt Xie thinks that in Taohua village, besides Lu Yunkai who is a scholar, there are no other villagers who have been admitted as a scholar. Now Lu Yunkai has been destroyed, and there is no future to speak of. Naturally, people in the village place their hopes on Song Changyuan, who are good at studying.

"Then you'll be beaten for nothing?"

"It's OK. I'll give it back slowly when I can." Song Xintong knows the current situation. Even if she has some money and takes advantage of it, it won't do her any good if she doesn't fight against Mrs. Zhang's family. In the end, she may make her reputation worse. Not to mention, it will harm the twins.

"Don't worry, auntie. I'm not at a loss today."

"I'm afraid Mrs. Zhang will make trouble." Aunt Xie is worried.

"If song Changyuan is smart, he will restrain Mrs. Zhang well. At least he won't make any more trouble recently." Song Xintong didn't think of a way to get rid of it once and for all. After all, he had threatened song's long-term future before, but he didn't manage it for long.

Aunt Xie thought about it and could only do so, comforting song Xintong: "anyway, it's far away, and I can't touch it."

"My aunt is right." Song Xintong nodded, then sat down on the edge of the wooden basin with lobster, picked up a pig hair brush and began to give it to the lobster's abdomen.

"Why brush it?" Aunt Xie asked.

Song Xintong explained: "these places are dirty, and there is sand. You have to clean them before you can eat them." Originally, she should have soaked them for a few more days to let them spit dirty things, but she found that the water in that place was very clear, and the water was not very dirty after being put in the basin for so long, so she thought that it should not be too dirty, so she would brush it later and then soak it with salt.

"That's the way it is, so are the snails?" Aunt Xie moved a bench and asked.

"Well, I forgot that." Song Xintong said, "this also has to rub the surface clean first."

"I'll take this one." Aunt Xie started right away.

"Watch your hands, auntie."

"It's OK. You should be more careful."

Song Xintong nodded, "I'll take the fast thick cotton cloth to wrap it."

Two people's action is very fast, less than two quarters of an hour to clean up all the lobsters and snails, and then all into the water, into the brine immersion.

"How long will it take?" Aunt Xie asked.

"An hour or two." Song Xintong calculated the time for a while, "you can take it up and fry it."

"That's OK." Aunt Xie took the pig into the water again and said to her, "where are you going? How do you say that?"

"Grandma he has an idea and should be supportive." Song Xintong said ambiguously.

Aunt Xie said, "after that, why don't you come and help me?"

"Not yet." Song Xintong said, "only my aunt, how can I be busy?"

"If she doesn't come, let your mother-in-law Qiu and your brother-in-law Dayi take the lead." Aunt Xie said.

"Mother-in-law Qiu has to be busy with her family work. How can she be so busy?" Song Xintong thought for a moment, "Auntie, if business can be done in this evening, you have to ask brother Dayi to help them catch lobsters and snails."

"What's so hard about this?" Aunt Xie said, "there are a lot of them. They can catch thousands at least."

If it's really good, thousands of them, thousands of catties can be sold.

"At that time, let your brother Dayi get it for you, and make sure to brush and wash it before you send it here." Aunt Xie said.

Song Xintong nodded, "at that time, I will spend money to collect, one Wen Qian two Jin, if washed clean, one Wen Qian one jin."

"I can't charge you for that." Aunt Xie thinks that she has already taken 20% of the profits, and it's entirely right to help. She has estimated it in her heart. Now she can sell it to Xiao Er Liang silver every day. Besides the capital, she can also get more than 12 Liang silver. At the end of the month, she can also get 45 Liang silver, which is more than what she made in the previous year.

Zhou Huaihua was very grateful to song Xintong.

"Auntie, if our business is booming, I'm afraid we can't rely on brother Dayi. In the future, we'll have to give it to the people in the village. Anyway, we'll fix the price first. I won't let brother Dayi waste their efforts." Song Xintong said.

"Yes, I listen to Xintong anyway." Aunt Xie said.

"Do you listen to me? My aunt is not afraid to be sold by me? " Song Xintong said with a smile, dealing with the hair on the pig's hooves.

Aunt Xie poured some water into the basin. "I'm not afraid. I'll count the money for you if I sell it."

"My aunt believes me."

"Who do you believe?" Aunt Xie put the cleaned pig liver into a clean basket. "I'll discuss with your mother-in-law Qiu, and let your brother-in-law Dayi and DAHAO go to school to read in August. You're right. If you can read well, at least you won't be cheated. If you can be an accountant, it's ok."

"That's good." Song Xintong agreed.

"There is too little land in our village. It's a chore for them to farm. It's better to find a way to make a living." Aunt Xie sighed.

"I look at many mountains and slopes behind the village. Many villagers are opening up wasteland." Song Xintong said.

"The wasteland is so poor that it can't be raised if it's not raised for five or six years."

Song Xintong said, "then get more fertilizer."

"It's not easy to do that. Our pigs don't eat well and they don't get fat." Aunt Xie said, "Xintong, your family doesn't farm land, so I don't know. It's too difficult."

Song Xintong felt that he had heard a sentence with flavor, "many people in the county can go to the city to buy faeces? Or go to the pig farm? Chicken farm

Aunt Xie thought, "I haven't thought about it before, but it's a little far away."

"Isn't that what Uncle Li does? You can ask him for help. " Song Xintong suggested.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? A load of dung is only ten or twenty Wen. I can afford it. " Aunt Xie said boldly, "Hey, I'm so old. I didn't expect it."

Song Xintong did not laugh.

"By the way, if he's going to do business, can't he borrow his donkey cart any more?" Aunt Xie suddenly thought.

Song Xintong nodded, "I wonder if I want to buy one in the city tomorrow."

"Your mother-in-law Qiu said a few days ago that she wanted to buy a cow for her family to drive the wasteland behind. Otherwise, I'll go back and tell my mother that I'll buy it these two days, and then I'll rent the cow to Xintong you." The more aunt Xie thought about it, the more it was like this. "Anyway, it's only a quarter of an hour away from the construction site, and I'll be back at noon, and I won't delay my work at that time."

In fact, song Xintong prefers to buy a carriage, but if the Xie family wants to buy it, it's just right to rent it first. Anyway, the business will be over in a few months.
