Chapter 843 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 4
Seeing that the other party was staring at him without saying anything, Shao Bowen frowned and said, "Don't you know either? Then why are you still talking?"
"Of course I know." The butcher Zhou Yuan replied immediately, "Her surname is Su, her maiden name is Su Xiangran, she is the daughter of the housekeeper of the Su Mansion in the city, and her mother is the cook and the housekeeper of the Su family's kitchen.
By the way, she has a brother who is studying in Master Yu’s school, and it is said that he is sponsored by the Su family.”
Shao Bowen didn't believe him and asked suspiciously, "How do you know this?"
"What's the big deal? A lot of people know about it!" Zhou Yuan said as if it was a matter of course. After thinking for a while, he explained, "You are a young master from a wealthy family. You don't know much about the news in the market. There are several reasons why Su Xiangran is famous.
First, she was really good-looking, having been a delicate and pretty girl since she was young; second, the master of the Su family said that she was a lucky star, so he loved her very much.
The Su family has the habit of putting up blessing plaques for their children. Although Su Xiangran is the housekeeper's daughter, she also has a plaque hung in the temple, so many people know her maiden name."
Hearing this, Shao Bowen couldn't help but feel a little curious.
He never imagined that a little girl would be involved in such a thing.
However, Zhou Yuan saw his young master's thoughtful expression and wanted to advise him: "Young master, if you think she is good-looking, just look at her a few more times, don't have any other thoughts.
Although Su Xiangran is a free person, her background and the Shao family are still..., so you..."
Shao Bowen turned a deaf ear to her and just kept repeating her name, muttering, "Xiang Ran! What a good name! She is indeed a beautiful peony!"
After Su Xiangran brought the dishes she cooked today to the table, Su Cheng looked at them and couldn't help but praise: "Sister has inherited her mother's talent in cooking. She has excellent skills and learns quickly!"
"Brother, please don't be so literary when talking at home! It sounds weird." Su Xiangran said with a smile while picking up a piece of braised pork for her mother. "It sounds weird."
Su Cheng didn't say anything, as if he was sticking to the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, but he heard what his sister said and nodded.
Meng Xi was not too restrained and ate happily, and his appetite was especially large today.
However, this person did not stay for long. He left the Su family after eating and drinking.
After cleaning up the dishes, Li Niang helped her daughter to make cakes. Although she was also a cook, she was used to cooking on the stove. Seeing her daughter making a cake so meticulously, she couldn't help but become interested.
After making fifty pancakes in a row, the house had run out of flour, but there was still some bone soup left, and there was also a lot of lard left to serve as "minced meat".
"Let's send him down! It's not hot this day anyway." Li Niang then "taught" her daughter Su Xiangran how to settle accounts.
The flour we use now is from home, but it also needs to be included in the cost.
After a rough calculation, I made about two cents from each of the fifteen cakes I sold today.
"You! You make money quickly, but you spend a lot." Li Niang thought of the bowl of meat for dinner today, "I worked so hard to make cakes, but the money I earned from selling them was used to buy meat for my family."
Su Xiangran really didn't think so: "I'm not prepared either. I'm sure I can earn more tomorrow."
That's true. The volume of fifteen cakes and one hundred cakes is different after all.
The mother and daughter were talking when Su Wang walked into the Su family's front door and asked, "Why are you still awake so late?"
"Dad, you're back!" Su Xiangran handed over a cake, "Are you hungry so late? This is the cake I made, try it!"
Su Wang did not take the cake from his daughter, but looked at her hand and said, "Daddy can support you, why do you have to go out to earn this money?"
"Dad, that's different. I still think it's good to have a skill." Su Xiangran couldn't help but share her future with her family, "Well, I don't have a fixed stall or shop yet, but I'm still young!
I will do business for a few years, and when I have more money, I will rent a stall first, and then I can buy a shop later. Then I can hire someone to work, and it won’t be too hard.”
Li Niang and Su Wang looked at their daughter's hopeful eyes and did not discourage her. After all, the shops in Dading Prefecture were notoriously expensive. The key point was that with the opening of offshore routes in recent years, the housing prices in a coastal city like theirs, which had large-scale docks, would only get higher and higher.
The speed at which my daughter Su Xiangran saves money is probably slower than the speed at which it grows.
But no one would burst their daughter's dream at this time.
The next morning, Su Xiangran was still dressed the same as yesterday and went to the morning market to sell cakes. Thanks to the dozen or so cakes sold yesterday, business was pretty good today.
In just a short while, more than half of the cakes were sold.
Then I saw Su Shangwen, the second young master of the Su family, strolling around the morning market with a few people in the distance.
Speaking of Su Shangwen, the original male protagonist, he really has a life full of luck.
