[Making Money] Half a rooster was used to make soup. A pear was peeled and diced, then added to the rooster soup, and the perfume wafting within the air had a touch of sweetness. Half a white radish and half a carrot had been reduce into superb shreds, blended into the batter with slightly salt, and stirred effectively. Oil coated the underside of the pan, and the batter was unfold out to make pancakes, fried till golden brown on each side. Half a basin of batter made seven pancakes, sufficient to eat. As Su Liang lifted the final pancake out of the pan, he turned to see Bai Xiaohu standing on the door with a bowl, staring eagerly on the freshly-cooked radish and carrot pancakes. The poor farmer’s household didn’t spend as a lot oil on cooking as Su Liang, and the aroma of oil and meat within the air made Bai Xiaohu salivate. “Little Tiger?” At Su Liang’s name, Bai Xiaohu got here to his senses and entered slightly sheepishly together with his bowl, “My grandmother steamed these Steamed Buns so that you can take two! Don’t be choosy, we solely get to eat white flour in the course of the New 12 months…” Su Liang smiled and took the bowl, “Your grandma’s steamed buns have to be scrumptious, thanks.” He then took out the buns, scooped a bowl of rooster soup with meat, and positioned two items of pancake on high. With saliva virtually dripping from his mouth, Bai Xiaohu waved his palms, “I’ll take the pears again, my grandmother has scolded me! I can’t take this!” “Take it, I’ll need to ask your grandmother for her steamed bun recipe later.” Su Liang smiled. Solely then did Bai Xiaohu settle for, and stated earnestly, “You should positively go!” … Mrs. Bai’s face darkened when she noticed the meals Bai Xiaohu introduced again. Bai Xiaohu shortly defined that he didn’t ask for it, Su Liang insisted on giving it to him, and stated he would come to their home one other day to discover ways to steam buns. “Who says Mrs. Ning can’t prepare dinner? The rooster soup she stewed is so aromatic!” Mrs. Bai tasted half a spoonful with suspicion and was immediately surprised by the scrumptious style. She sighed and shook her head, “She will need to have realized every thing whereas being a slave in that Yuanwai Household. Poor lady!” … Having the rooster soup with pear garnish, Ning Jing complimented Su Liang, “Your cooking expertise are fairly good.” The rooster leg was Su Liang’s by default, whereas Ning Jing had an additional pancake. As they each put down their chopsticks on the similar time, Ning Jing stated earlier than Su Liang may communicate, “You prepare dinner, I’ll wash the dishes.” Su Liang thought this association was glorious. Returning to her room, she tidied up the baggage she had introduced again from Su Daqiang’s home. It was chilly, and she or he wanted to purchase thicker clothes and socks. Furthermore, she needed to study the textual content of this world as quickly as attainable, so she had to purchase books and writing supplies. She didn’t have a single copper coin left and was experiencing poverty for the primary time in two lifetimes… Choosing up the Plum Blossom Display that the Unique Grasp had embroidered, Su Liang sighed softly and put it away. This was the fruit of the Unique Grasp’s laborious work, and she or he didn’t plan to promote it for cash. If someday she discovered that “Cloud” gentleman, she may give it to him, which is perhaps what the Unique Grasp had hoped for! Ning Jing boiled sizzling water, and Su Liang requested him learn how to brush her enamel. “Wait.” Ning Jing went again to his room and introduced again an beautiful wood field for Su Liang. When Su Liang opened it, she was stunned to see one thing much like a toothbrush on this world. The deal with had a clean texture, seemingly made from jade, and the bristles had been a bit stiff however neatly trimmed. There was additionally a small jar of inexperienced salt within the field. Ning Jing requested, “Have you learnt learn how to use it?” She nodded, “Sure, thanks.” It was an expensive merchandise, clearly not for extraordinary individuals to make use of, and will need to have been Ning Jing’s spare. He additionally gave Su Liang a brand new, comfortable fabric towel with glorious water absorbency. “There is just one bathtub, so we’ll purchase a brand new one for you tomorrow,” Ning Jing stated. “It seems like we have now cash,” Su Liang stated sarcastically. Ning Jing’s good-looking eyebrows furrowed barely, and he stated nothing, merely turned and went again to his room. When Su Liang completed washing and got here out to pour water, she noticed the sunshine within the subsequent room was off and thought he had gone to mattress. As Su Liang entered her goals, a darkish shadow simply climbed over the excessive partitions of the Su Daqiang residence. Fifteen minutes later, the shadow left. It returned, then left once more… Earlier than dawn, Su Liang was woke up by a knock on her door. As she rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened it, Ning Jing was already dressed neatly, speaking to Bai Xiaohu on the door. What was he doing up so early? Su Liang discovered it unusual when Ning Jing turned to her, “Do you wish to go to the market?” “Now we have an ox cart!” Bai Xiaohu added. Simply as Su Liang wished to say there was no cash to go to the market, she turned her head and noticed 4 massive bamboo baskets below the eaves, stuffed with golden pears… “Promote them for cash.” Ning Jing walked over, and Bai Xiaohu had already run away. With an inexplicable look on her face, Su Liang requested, “Did you… steal these final night time?” Seeing Ning Jing nod his head, Su Liang imagined the good-looking man climbing partitions to steal pears and bringing again basket after basket in the course of the night time, and thought his various means of getting cash was… improbable! Bai Xiaohu’s father came to visit and helped carry the pears to the cart, his perspective was very pleasant. “Are you going to promote them?” Su Liang requested. Ning Jing shook his head, “Little Tiger’s household will assist promote them. It’s agreed that they’ll get 20 p.c of the revenue.” Su Liang out of the blue had an thought, “Are you able to assist me write one thing?” Ning Jing went again to his room to grind ink, and listened to Su Liang recite, then wrote it down. He shortly realized that it was the recipe for the rooster soup from the night time earlier than, however it had extra elements that they didn’t have at dwelling, together with two medicinal herbs. He wrote the results on the finish: Nourishes and moisuturizes, health and beauty. “The phrases aren’t unhealthy.” Su Liang took a glance and will most likely determine all of them, however she couldn’t write the normal characters. When she completed shortly washing up and went out, Ning Jing was ready for her outdoors, locking the door. The ox cart was by the bridge with Madam Bai and Bai Xiaohu sitting on it. “Didn’t Younger Grasp Ning say he wasn’t going?” Bai Xiaohu was stunned. Ning Jing’s expression was calm, “I’m going to purchase one thing.” There was little house on the cart, and the 2 of them sat down aspect by aspect, their shoulders shut collectively. Su Liang didn’t thoughts, and, seeing that she was very calm, Ning Jing additionally casually sat down. It seemed like they had been husband and spouse. “Younger Grasp Ning, maintain onto your spouse!” Madam Bai reminded. Bai Xiaohu snickered, “Maintain her tight!” Su Liang coughed frivolously, “His face is skinny.” The Bai household’s laughter crammed the air, and Ning Jing silently glanced at Su Liang… On the way in which, the villagers they met all stared at Su Liang and Ning Jing. “Why is Younger Grasp Ning using an ox cart?” “Su Liang is de facto handsome.” “Isn’t Younger Grasp Ning avoiding hassle right here? The place is he going?” … Su Liang requested in a low voice, “Is it okay so that you can be outdoors?” Ning Jing shook his head, “No drawback.” It took an hour for the ox cart to reach at Luoyan City. There was a market on the seventh day each month, and presently, the great spots had already been taken by others. Bai Peng, Bai Xiaohu’s father, unloaded the objects from the cart, and Madam Bai let Ning Jing and Su Liang buy groceries on their very own, with them serving to to promote the pears. “Which is the most important restaurant on the town?” Su Liang requested, selecting up a pear. “I do know! Feiyan Restaurant! I heard that their dishes are costly!” Bai Xiaohu pointed in a path, wanting envious, “Are you going to Feiyan Restaurant for dinner?” Madam Bai glared at Bai Xiaohu and informed him to not be nosy. Seeing Ning Jing and Su Liang actually heading in direction of Feiyan Restaurant, Bai Xiaohu sat on a stone together with his palms on his face, lamenting, “They’re so wealthy!” The truth is, the penniless Ning Jing and Su Liang had been on the streets, attracting a whole lot of consideration. It’s simply that their look and temperament had been too excellent on this distant small city. It was additionally because of this that when Su Liang entered Feiyan Restaurant and requested to see the supervisor immediately, the waiter didn’t dare to neglect them, fearing to offend some huge shot. The supervisor of Feiyan Restaurant was a brief, fats outdated man. As quickly as he noticed Su Liang and Ning Jing’s general bearing, he was fairly well mannered, considering they had been buddies of the proprietor. When he realized that Su Liang was there to promote a medicinal weight loss plan recipe, the crafty sparkled within the supervisor’s eyes, “First, take out the recipe and let’s take a look. It have to be one thing recent, scrumptious, and appropriate for our value.” Su Liang’s expression was detached, “It doesn’t matter what I deliver out, I’m certain the supervisor will say, your Feiyan Restaurant already has it.” Being uncovered, the supervisor laughed awkwardly and waved his hand, “In that case, simply go promote it some place else!” “I’ve heard that Luoxia Restaurant just isn’t unhealthy. Farewell.” Su Liang rotated and left. When the supervisor heard of Luoxia Restaurant, his expression modified, “Wait!” Su Liang wasn’t stunned. On the way in which, she had overheard some passers-by saying that the enterprise at Luoxia Restaurant was getting higher and higher, so she figured Feiyan Restaurant can be below stress. … Half an hour later, Su Liang reappeared on the market. Bai Xiaohu complained to her with a bitter face, “Our pears are too costly, nobody is shopping for.” However promoting them low cost was insufferable. Su Liang rubbed Bai Xiaohu’s head, “I’ve offered all of them.” The restaurant’s waiter got here with a cart and loaded all of the pears onto it. Madam Bai hurriedly requested what was occurring. Su Liang defined that she had offered all of the pears to Feiyan Restaurant. “You’re actually one thing.” Madam Bai’s gaze in direction of Su Liang modified. Su Liang gave Madam Bai 20% of the unique whole value for the pears as agreed with Bai Xiaohu and Ning Jing. Madam Bai stored pushing the cash again, saying that they hadn’t offered the pears. Su Liang insisted on giving it. In cooperation with the Bai household, that they had helped with a whole lot of laborious work. It was her and Ning Jing who had modified their minds, so it was solely proper to provide the cash. However she didn’t give greater than that. Unable to withstand, Madam Bai accepted it and stated that sooner or later, Ning Jing and Su Liang wouldn’t need to pay to trip their cart. Seeing Su Liang stroll away, Bai Xiaohu muttered, “Promoting the meals to Feiyan Restaurant have to be costlier, proper?” Madam Bai twisted Bai Xiaohu’s ear, “Regardless of how costly it’s, it’s their capability! What are you judging for?” Bai Xiaohu was simply curious as to how Su Liang managed to promote the pears, and he didn’t assume a lot of it. Nonetheless, Madam Bai nonetheless warned him to not assume at all times about making the most of others. … The medicinal weight loss plan recipe and the pears had been offered collectively for a complete of forty-three silver taels. The supervisor was well-informed and was impressed with the results of the medicinal weight loss plan. Su Liang requested for 50 taels, however he haggled right down to forty taels and agreed to purchase all her pears for 3 silver taels. He stated repeatedly that if there have been new recipes, they have to be offered to Feiyan Restaurant, and the value was negotiable. In temper, Su Liang went to the bookshop the place she had agreed to fulfill Ning Jing. “I don’t know the place this little white-faced man got here from, even daring to compete with Grasp Huang’s son for a lady! He’s searching for dying!” Amid the noise, Su Liang turned her head, curious to see how white the little white-faced man’s face was. However when she seemed intently, her face was stuffed with black traces. The one who needs to be serving to her pick books, Ning Jing, was surrounded by 4 robust males wielding golf equipment…</p
