Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 82 Platinum Loan Card

Su Qingdai could be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After a trip to Chunjiang Publishing House, she met the owners of two publishing houses.Not only solved the problem of publishing new books, but also signed a five-year long-term contract.As long as Su Qingdai publishes a book, Jinhua Publishing House will take the lead in considering publishing matters.

Of course, what surprised Su Qingdai even more was that this Li Mingyun was actually the son of Mrs. Luo.Su Qingdai looked at Li Mingyun who was sitting opposite, a little surprised.

Didn't Mrs. Luo say that her son and daughter have gone abroad?How come there is still a son in Huaiyang?
Su Qingdai always thought that she was a lonely old lady, her son and daughter were working abroad, and the old lady had no one to take care of her, so Su Qingdai always had to take care of the old lady.When I go to the vegetable market on weekdays, I will also ask the old lady if I want to bring some vegetables and fruits back. When I am free, I will help the old lady clean the house and do housework.

Now I know that the old lady still has a son in the country, and it is in Huaiyang City.This made Su Qingdai a little puzzled, the old lady was alone, why her son didn't live with the old lady Luo, and even rarely visited the old lady's house on weekdays.

However, Su Qingdai didn't intend to ask too much. Seeing that Mrs. Luo usually kept her mouth shut about her children, she also guessed a bit.Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and family affairs are always hard to say.

When Mrs. Luo learned about Su Qingdai's book publishing, she had to be concerned.This was the first time she took the initiative to ask Li Mingyun. Although it was about Su Qingdai, Li Mingyun felt a little happy and rushed to Mrs. Luo's house excitedly.

But Mrs. Luo didn't care about Li Mingyun's mood and anger. She didn't even bother to raise her head when Li Mingyun came home.She was reading a book, and when she saw Luo Mingyun coming in, she put down the book and asked angrily, "What's going on?"

Li Mingyun was a little bit bitter: "It's nothing, it's just that the second brother didn't manage the people below well, and took advantage of the loophole."

"Hmph, seeing what you've said lightly, I'm afraid it's not that simple? He's a brother of your Li family, what else can I do to him? Your second brother is getting better and better, and he's doing his best to stay on the right path. You moth! A few years ago, I heard that the publishing house was impersonated and stole other people's manuscripts! Look, what the Li family's best publishing house in those days has been turned into by him now!"

Old lady Luo's face was gloomy and ugly.As soon as his hands were excited, his whole body couldn't stop trembling, and it seemed that his breathing became a little short.

Li Mingyun was shocked, and hurried forward a few steps to appease the old man: "Don't get angry, your body is important!"

The old lady Luo didn't look at him at all, took a few breaths, her face eased, and she sighed: "I'm old, I can't take care of these things of your Li family, if it didn't happen to the girl of the Su family, I wouldn't bother to care about it." You don't need to persuade me anymore, your father's life or death has nothing to do with me! He wants to see whomever he likes, and I will not go to see him! I have understood my words a few years ago, I, Luo Jinhua, have left the gate of the Li family, and I will never step in again!"

"Mother..." Li Mingyun wanted to persuade her again, but Mrs. Luo waved her hand, picked up the book, got up from the sofa, and went straight to the study.

Li Mingyun looked at the way the old lady walked tremblingly, feeling sore in his heart, and suddenly remembered that shrewd and capable woman in his childhood. At that time, he would never have known that his mother would have such a lonely back.

In October, Su Qingdai was very busy, she was also busy studying, and she had to visit Xie Xiren's jewelry company, plus the milk tea shop and publishing house, she became a spinning top, spinning non-stop.

The publishing house has completed the typesetting of "Miracle", and it is only waiting for it to be printed and put on the shelves in November. The originally expected [-] copies were forcefully doubled by Mrs. Luo.

In mid-October, the Su family's long yams and peanuts had a bumper harvest.

Because the production of long yams in many places has been greatly reduced this year, the Su family has Wang Xinqiang's help, and those long yams have grown better and better.So those nearly two-foot-long yams were unearthed, and they were immediately welcomed by buyers.The Su family's long yam had just been shipped to the wholesale market in the city, and it was sold out by those who came to buy it.

Naturally, the peanuts also have a lot of seeds, and the plump and big ones look very pleasing.Su's father brought a few big bags of sun-dried peanuts to the city, which made Su Qingcheng very happy.

This guy doesn't like to eat snacks, but only loves to eat peanuts and melon seeds. During the Chinese New Year, peanuts and melon seeds are always in his mouth, and he often eats them at night, which makes Su Qingdai and Su Qingye laugh.

Fresh peanuts are naturally delicious when boiled with salt. Su Qingcheng likes fennel-flavored peanuts the most. Su Qingdai even bought fennel, cinnamon, and star anise from a nearby pharmacy.Salt-boiled peanuts are generally washed and boiled with a little salt when the peanuts are just harvested. It is a very common food in farmers. It tastes slightly salty, but also has a sweet taste and a dried aroma.Of course, the most important point is that salt-boiled peanuts are the most resistant to storage.

To make salt-boiled peanuts, the previous work must be done well.If you want peanuts to taste, you have to open a crack in the shell of peanuts.This is a technical job, but Su Qingdai doesn't need to worry about it, this is Su Qingcheng's best job.Su Qingdai doesn't touch her hands now, if she wants to eat, she has to do it herself.In order to satisfy his appetite, Su Qingcheng had to work hard.

When the peanuts are opened, Su Qingdai washes the peanuts again, puts them in a basin, adds some refined salt, garlic, pepper, and soaks them in water.Add star anise, cinnamon and fennel bought at the pharmacy during the day.

Soak it for nearly an hour to make the peanuts soft and delicious, then put them in a pressure cooker and cook them on high heat. After about 10 minutes, switch to low heat and cook until the peanuts are crispy, remove and drain the water, and let them cool before eating. .

There are also people who like to eat brine peanuts, so they need to add another process. When the peanuts are half cooked, add pickled vegetables to the pressure cooker.However, Su Qingdai would only taste brine peanuts during the Chinese New Year, and she doesn't usually eat them very much.

The old lady Luo had already smelled the smell, she came in following the smell of star anise, and when she saw the salt-boiled peanuts with juice that had just left the country, she rushed up, completely unable to tell that it was an old man in her 70s. Mrs.

"Madam Su, let's cook peanuts! This peanut is also called Longevity Fruit, but it's a good thing!" Mrs. Luo pushed aside a steaming peanut with juice, and brought it to her mouth, and the peanut kernel rolled down her lips to her mouth She pouted, she chewed the hot peanuts a few times and swallowed them, "Ah, are these peanuts fresh? You can tell when you taste it, it has a kind earthy smell."

Su Qingdai thought it was funny, why does this old lady feel so greedy?The nose is sharper than that of the dogs in the village. She has just come out of the pot, and the old lady has already touched it.

But what Mrs. Luo said is true. Peanuts are nutritious, cheap and delicious, and they are a snack food that many people like.Women like to chew peanuts when they are chatting, and men like to chew peanuts when they drink alcohol. They both like to eat them.

This time, Su Qingdai cooked a large pressure cooker of peanuts, took out a large bowl, and took the rest to the balcony to dry.

Su Qingcheng and Mrs. Luo ate happily, there was no other way, Su Qingdai's craftsmanship was really good, the old one seemed not satisfied with what was in the bowl after finishing the snack, and wanted to get it, but was stopped by Su Qingdai.Just kidding, I still have to eat after eating so much, it's no wonder I don't have diarrhea at night!
Naturally, the old lady Luo didn't come here empty-handed. She got a borrowing card from Li Mingyun during the day, and she came to deliver something to Su Qingdai at the moment, but it turned out that she met Su Qingdai cooking peanuts.

She almost forgot about her business when she was eating, and only remembered when she was going out, and took out a golden card from her pocket and handed it to Su Qingdai.

"what is this?"

Su Qingdai took the card, looked at both the front and back, and asked puzzledly.

"This is the Platinum Loan Card of Yinhai Bookstore. Make good use of it. With this card, you can enter any floor of Yinhai Bookstore to read the books inside." The old lady said with a smile, "Give it to you, little one." Girl, take it as a thank-you gift for that salt-boiled peanut of yours."

Su Qingdai didn't know what Yinhai Library was, and thought it was just a borrowing card, probably similar to a library's borrowing card.

But Su Qingdai doesn't know, it doesn't mean Jin Xiaoxiao doesn't know.When Su Qingdai asked Yinhai Bookstore on the second day, the girl was still not very energetic. When she saw the platinum borrowing card that Su Qingdai took out, she was as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and her eyes watered. green light.

"Platinum borrowing card?! Damn, Su Qingdai, where did you get this thing?"

Even Yu Yang and Zeng Tai looked at her with jealousy. Su Qingdai felt strange and couldn't help asking: "Is this thing expensive? What is it for?"

Jin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, it's a shame that this guy doesn't know how precious it is while holding this thing.

"The Platinum Loan Card of Yinhai Bookstore! Beauty, there are no more than ten cards in the city in your hand! Do you think it is expensive? There is a price but no market!" Jin Xiaoxiao said in an exaggerated tone, "Yes With this card, you can go to any floor of the Yinhai library to read books for yourself! On the top floor of the library, there are various folk ancient books from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some people say there are even rare copies! "

Su Qingdai trembled instinctively when she heard the word "solitary copy".She is not very rare about orphans, she has a box in her hand now.Regardless, she is more curious about that Yinhai Bookstore. With such a big deal, the owner of this Yinhai Bookstore seems to have an unusual background.

"How do you know? Have you ever been there?"

"Where can I go up, and I don't have a borrowing card. Ordinary people can't enter the library at all, and those who get ordinary borrowing cards have to be related, and they can only hang around on the first, second, and third floors." Jin Xiaoxiao was very frustrated. Yinhai Library is the place she yearns for the most, but how can she get in?
"What is the origin of this Yinhai Bookstore?" Su Qingdai couldn't help asking.
