Chapter 30 Buying a House
I don't know how Su Wenshan and Liu's couple persuaded Liu Shumin, anyway, he agreed to help take care of the back mountain.In fact, it is very simple to see the back mountain, because the back of the mountain is a cliff. Although it is not high, it is not easy to climb up from there. Just keep the roads up the mountain on both sides of Liushu Village and Baili Village. .

Liu Shumin completely solved the worries of the Su family.However, within two days, news came from Han Yu that a suitable house had been found.The Su family was very happy and left for the town the next day.Han Yu took it to have a look. It was actually a two-storey house with a rather large yard at the back. There were always about a dozen rooms. The location was also good, just on the street in front of the original Su’s bun shop. Much better than the location of Baozipu.

The boss, Su Wenshan, also knew it. He had been in the town for so many years.The owner's surname is Xu, and he originally opened an inn, which was relatively large in Qingshi Town. The business was good at first, but in recent years, due to the rise of several larger inns, the number of guests has decreased. Another business lost money, so I thought about selling the inn to pay off the debt.

Because they are familiar with each other, Boss Xu didn't ask for the price randomly. He just said that it is from an old neighbor, which is cheaper than selling it to outsiders. It was originally sold for 350 taels, but now it only costs 300 taels.Su Jin has no idea, and Su Wenshan also thinks they all know each other, so he is embarrassed to bargain. Han Yu grew up in a wealthy township, and he doesn't know much about the house price, but he asked the few friends who looked for the house for him, and they think it's not good. It didn't take much to let them buy it.

The father and daughter of the Su family paid the money directly, and when they returned, they already had the title deed of this shop in their arms.When I got home and showed it to my family members, they were all happy. Mrs. Liu even held the title deed in her arms, felt it carefully, then carefully put it away, and decided to take all the family members with her tomorrow. Take a look in the town, so you can recognize the place, tidy up, and see if there is anything to prepare.

Naturally, there are a lot of preparations to be made. Su Jin couldn't sleep that night, so she lay down in front of Brother Shuo's desk, thinking and writing with a pen and paper.Although her family also opened a restaurant, they must not follow the crowd too much, they have to be special to attract guests.After thinking about it, I wrote it. In the morning, I only prepared breakfast, rice porridge, millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, and black rice porridge, plus a few seasonal side dishes, and a few pickles. The next day she made a vat of Bai Si Try the taste of kimchi, and if the craftsmanship has not deteriorated, then sell it in the store. In her previous life, she also liked to cook, and she could make a few pickles. There are also steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and oil cakes; Stir-fried vegetables, when I go to town tomorrow, I will find a restaurant to try the dishes first, and then write the menu when I come back; at night, I will focus on hot pot, spicy, non-spicy and mandarin duck pots, and there will be fewer stir-fried dishes on the menu. , Yes, this wine must be available, and it must be good wine. The tea is naturally the best scented tea, just like the ones I drink at home. .

After writing for several pages, she saw that it was getting late and the moon was in the sky, so she put down the pen and paper, yawned and went to sleep.

The next day, the whole family got up very early, and even brother Shuo wanted to follow. His parents specially approved him to take a day off, and they also followed him to the town for a walk. Since returning to Liushu Village, except for Su Wenshan and Su Jin , the others haven't been to town yet.

The family went out in a carriage, and when they passed the gate of the old house, they saw Mrs. Lu sitting on the threshold picking vegetables and talking to her sister-in-law Su Ran. Naturally, Su Ran didn't need to pick vegetables, the only work she had to do every day was probably It's just embroidery.Ever since the Han family rejected her marriage, Su Ran has been in a bad mood, especially when she saw her eldest brother and his family going out with a smile on their face, she didn't even say hello. , turned back to the yard.

Liu thinks this sister-in-law is too hypocritical, who do you think you are?But it's just a village girl in the village, and she still puts on a ladylike posture, which is really awkward.

The family came to the town talking and laughing, and went to see the shop first, and found that it was really as good as what Su Jin said, the location was good, the house was good, and the layout was reasonable, which just met their needs, and they were all very satisfied with the house up.

After appreciating, the Su family rolled up their sleeves to prepare for the general cleaning, and Su Jin took the opportunity to drag her father to buy property.First of all, to open a restaurant, there must be enough pots and pans, as well as tables and chairs. The essentials for opening an inn are furniture, as well as bedding and sheets.Su Jin had already written the list, and took her father straight to the things she needed, and without wasting much time, she drove the ox cart back home with the big and small bags.

As soon as the things were put away, the two brothers of the Han family came. Su Wenshan decided that the name of the restaurant should still be Su Ji, so Han Chen was annoyed to write it down, and prepared to frame it and hang it at the door of the shop.It was almost ready, so Han Chen discussed with Su Wenshan the dowry gift for the Su family. He originally thought that the Su family needed money to open a restaurant, so he wanted to give more money when giving the dowry gift. Su Wenshan disagreed. Well, his family really doesn't lack money and money now, but he doesn't dare to say how it came about. Besides, he is not the kind of person who wants to rely on his daughter to make a fortune, so he explained to Han Chen how much money he gave. The betrothal gift will not be kept here, and it will all be used as a dowry for Tang girl. Although he is a man, he also understands that the thickness of a woman's dowry has a direct relationship with her comfortable life in her natal family.He didn't dare to say that he would give her daughter ten miles of red makeup, but it would definitely be the first one in Liushu Village.

Su Jin and Su Shuang went to find a carpenter to make beds, tables and chairs. Su Jin had a lot of requirements, not too fancy or complicated, just simple and generous.The bed will be a simple double bed from the previous life, and the tables and chairs should also be simple in style, and more importantly, sturdy.Mrs. Liu took her eldest daughter and Brother Shuo to buy scattered things, such as basins for opening an inn, bathtubs, and cloth towels. pull back.

It was getting late in the rush, and the Su family members hurriedly drove the ox cart back. When they got home, there was still a sliver of sun in the sky. The villagers on the road were returning late from the fields. Seeing them, they were all enthusiastic. hello.Su Wenshan also smiled and said a few words to others, nothing more than talking about whether he had eaten and the weather is nice.

However, an old man was strolling along the road with a rice bowl in his hand. When he saw them, he said something different. He said, "Wenshan, you must go to your mother's place for dinner tonight, right?"

Su Wenshan was surprised how he would say that, so he asked, "Uncle Tian, ​​what do you mean by that?"

The man called Uncle Tian gulped down two mouthfuls of porridge, and said with a smile: "Your mother sold your iron pot, so why don't you take care of your family's food?"

Sold your iron pot?The Su family was taken aback, what's going on?Su Wenshan didn't care to say anything, and hurriedly drove the ox cart home.As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw a trash collector walking out, and there was an iron pot inside, which looked very familiar. Liu quickly asked, "Where did you collect the iron pot?"

The junk collector casually pointed to Su Jin's dilapidated courtyard, "That's the one, it's really a waste, such a good iron pot is willing to sell it as junk, it's not worth a few dollars, but you have to buy a new one But it will be expensive." After saying that, she shook her head and wanted to leave, but Liu Shi hurriedly stopped her, pointed at the iron pot and said, "Sell me that iron pot."

"Sell it to you?" the trash collector said with a smile, "it's not cheap."

Mrs. Liu was a little annoyed, stomped her feet and said, "No matter how cheap it is, can it still be worth the money to buy a new pot? You just said that the one was sold as a broken pot, so sell it to me at a cheaper price."

After haggling several times, I still didn't lose much money. Liu's teeth were itchy while holding the iron pot. What kind of moth is this Lu family playing, and he went to her house to sell her things? It's too much, isn't it? .

When they got home, the family went to the kitchen first, and saw that the only big iron pot was gone.Liu Shi went out angrily, Su Wenshan wanted to stop him, but he was a step too late, and hurriedly followed.

In the old house, everyone except Su Wenhai, who didn’t come back, was eating dinner. Mrs. Liu glanced at it, and saw that it was mixed noodle soup and yellow noodle steamed bread, and there was only a little bit of it, so she curled her lips, not really poor enough to eat. It's really contemptuous to bring out this pair of pies after dinner.

"Hey, I'm eating." Mrs. Liu walked over and sat down next to Mrs. Lu, "It seems that I came at the right time. Mother, don't you mind if I sit down and eat something?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her calmly, "Your family is so poor that you can't open the pot? You eat rice and white noodles all day long, why do you think of eating my thick noodle steamed bread today? I'm afraid you're not used to it?"

Mrs. Liu picked up the chopsticks and stretched quickly to the only plate of scrambled eggs on the table, picked the biggest piece and ate it, and said while eating, "I want to cook, but my iron pot is in the yard. I don't know which wicked ghost stole it, why do you think this person is so hateful, he even steals the iron pot used for cooking, he is really poor and crazy, he is really immoral, shameless and skinless!" Liu Shi After scolding, she raised her head to look at Mrs. Lu, seeing her face turning red and then pale, she snorted coldly in her heart, telling you to do immoral things again, don't be afraid of being scolded if you dare to do it!
"Ahem." Mrs. Lu deliberately lowered her head and drank porridge to cover up her embarrassment, "Eat as much as you want, where do you come from so much nonsense?"

"Mother is fine. If you are full, you don't have to worry about other people's hunger. But I can't. I have children at home. Why don't you make some more for your grandchildren?"

Want someone else to eat?Lu Shihu took off the chopsticks in her hand with a face, "Let's go when you are full, I have no food here, I have nothing to eat." After thinking about it, he added, "Let Wenshan and Brother Shuo Come and eat."

The title of this book has been changed from "Being an Unworthy Wife" to "A Happy Marriage in the Pastoral Garden", isn't it more festive?Hehe, thank you for your support.
