When Su Tang brought his younger brother home, Aunt Zhou was already waiting. Seeing her happy face, it should be the end of the matter.
"Master said that if you are free, you can go to see him this afternoon, but whether you accept it or not depends on how refined you are." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Basically it's nothing, just seven years old It is the age of enlightenment, the master should not ask too difficult questions."
To say that Yuanshen's father is also illiterate, so his children can't read well. Su Jinhang has never read a book until now.
But everything came from scratch, Su Tang nodded: "Please trouble Aunt Zhou, but what do you need to bring for apprenticeship?"
This is the geometry of Shu Xiu who asked his apprentice.
That is how much the tuition fee is.
Aunt Zhou said: "Most of the students in this school are wealthy families. Besides the old six ceremonies, they also bring silver, Hui ink, etc. My Cong'er was not responsible for the family when he went to school. He only brought six ceremonies, which were just bacon. Bring more."
Shuxiu's six rituals are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat.
There is no quantification of how much something is, but the poor have their own way of giving, and the rich have their own way of giving.
It all depends on the mind of the students.
Su Tang knew it well, and after thanking Aunt Zhou, she took Su Jinhang to the bookstore in West Market, where there was indeed a whole box of Liuli.
Just give enough money to the servants in the shop, and they can make arrangements, and they must do it properly.
Su Tang chose two pieces of ink and two good brushes at the bookstore.
Then I exchanged a good tael of silver and put it in Liuli's box.
It cost nearly three taels to buy these things.
You know, in terms of current prices, two taels of silver can be enough for a family of three to eat and drink without worrying about it.
These gifts are already considered expensive in West City.
Su Tang has heard about this master, he is an old man who has passed the exam, and has rich experience in teaching students.
It is enough for this master to be Xiaohang's first teacher.
Besides, according to the ancient rules, after giving the gift this time, it will be a year of Shuxiu, which is still a good deal.
The main reason is that Su Tang has money now.
If you have just worn it, you will definitely not be willing to spend money like this.
Sure enough, the courtesy is not surprising, even though Su Jinhang has only read a few thousand-character essays, the master still accepts him and asks him to study tomorrow.
Su Jinhang didn't expect that when he came back from a stroll, he would read a book.
He didn't realize it until he got home with the books, paper and pens he bought.
Su Jinhang couldn't believe it: "Sister, can I really read?"
To be honest, most of them in the west city are merchants, and they are small merchants and small traders. It is already very good for their children to learn the thousand-character script.
There are not many people like him who earnestly worship their masters and go to private schools.
Only Zhou Cong is one, and now there is another him.
Su Tang rubbed the head of the seven-year-old cheap brother, and said with a smile: "It's really possible, you should study."
At least in her eyes, it should be, no matter what age, reading is the right thing to do.
She never expected that Su Jinhang would be so happy just because he could read.
Zhou Cong is also happy next time, he can go to school with Su Jinhang in the future.
The two of them ate breakfast in the small restaurant, then went to morning classes together, had a meal at noon, and continued their classes.
Time also became regular.
But the next morning, before the door of the small restaurant was opened, Aunt Zhou and Su Tang heard voices from outside.
Seems like guests are calling them to open the door
Said to smell the fragrance in the house
Aunt Zhou hurried over, but she was also frightened by the guests at the door.
"You finally opened the door!"
"Why wasn't it open yesterday? We came here for breakfast."
"I've eaten your steamed stuffed buns before eating someone else's. I always feel something is wrong."
"I found out about this at the Chef God Competition yesterday, so I came here specially."
"The porridge that the judges were full of praise yesterday, is it for sale today?"
Not to mention Aunt Zhou, even Su Tang herself didn't expect that her words filled the place with people.
In fact, it's not just her restaurant.
The business of several famous restaurants in the MasterChef Competition has increased several times.
Many restaurants that did not participate in the competition are now full of regrets. Who would have thought that the God of Cooking Competition would be a good place to attract business.
Fortunately for Su Tang, he also made a lot of things today, so he should be able to support it for a while, right
But in less than an hour, thousands of porridges were sold out, and even the tea eggs were sold out.
As for the steamed bun egg cake you said
All sold out!
None left!
It's only the end of Mao's time, that is, before 7 o'clock in the morning, and they are sold out earlier!
Even Li Shiwei who rushed over was dumbfounded.
what happened
He's already running fast.
Tomorrow is the time for everyone to have breakfast, why is this meeting sold out
Chen time is from seven to nine in the morning.
Seeing that he took a big food box today, Su Tang wondered, "Why did you take such a big box today?"
"My lord, our master will be out of Beijing for a few days, and I'm thinking of buying more steamed buns to eat on the way." Li Shiwei was helpless.
But now there is nothing.
How many days do you want to leave Beijing
It must be really busy, it seems that I haven't seen him for several days.
Su Tang was a little embarrassed: "Don't mention the steamed buns, even the flour is gone."
She really miscalculated the traffic of the God of Cooking Competition!
Although there was no word traffic in ancient times, it is enough for everyone to understand the meaning.
If the previous business was good, it had to be sold until Sishi. After nine o'clock in the morning, everything was sold out.
But today it was two hours earlier.
When the two children went to school, Su Tang made a decision and said to Aunt Zhou: "We still need to recruit more people, and it's best to clean up the small restaurant again."
Hire more people
Thinking about it, the business is so good now, even if the two of them are busy all the time, they can't do much.
If you want to sell more, you must recruit people.
Su Tang never imagined that she just wanted to be lazy by opening a small restaurant, so why was she getting busier and busier.
However, when she gave Xiaohang a bundle of repairs yesterday, Su Tang realized that she still didn't earn enough money.
Since we need to recruit more people, the layout of the small restaurant has to be slightly changed.
In fact, the size of the restaurant is not bad, there are currently eight tables in total, but Su Tang looked at it and felt that it took up too much space.
Or change it to a modern bench bench
But making breakfast now is just a transition, and when she has money in hand, she will definitely open a serious Chinese restaurant.
I chose breakfast because the cost of breakfast is lower than that of other meals.
At that time, Su Tang didn't expect her breakfast to be so popular.
When Su Tang hesitated, he still chose to recruit people first, and then talk about other things.
Regardless of her ugly handwriting, Su Tang reluctantly wrote the notice, and was about to post it when she heard a question.
"I heard that you have already hired a cook, why do you still hire someone?"
Su Tang felt that this business was familiar, but she couldn't remember who this elderly woman was.
"Mother-in-law! You are here!"
Su Tang was still remembering, when she saw Second Aunt Su rushing over and holding the old woman's hand.
Second Aunt Su's injuries are still not healed, and she can't walk smoothly, but she trotted over.
Oh, it turns out that this is Yuanshen's eccentric grandma.
This grandma prefers the eldest son and the third girl, but she doesn't care about the other two sons.
Among the sons she doesn't care about are the original father, and the second uncle Su next door.
Grandmother Su patted Second Aunt Su, pretending to comfort: "I heard the message you asked the villagers to bring, so I came here quickly."
As she spoke, Grandma Su pulled the little boy beside her.
The little boy looked a little scruffy, he should be the grandson of Grandma Su.
Su Tang has been watching from the side without making a sound.
Seeing this, Grandmother Su reprimanded: "The elder is here, don't you know please come and sit in the room?"
These words were not friendly at first glance, Su Tang calmly posted the notice and said, "Please."
As far as their movement is concerned, some neighbors are already looking here.
The ancients valued filial piety the most. If she did anything wrong to Grandmother Su, she would definitely be blamed.
Thinking about it this way, Second Aunt Su's house next door invited her over just to deal with her
Seeing that something was wrong, Aunt Zhou winked at Su Tang.
Su Tang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
But Second Aunt Su came in with Grandmother Su.
Su Tang suddenly thought that the money earned this morning hadn't been confiscated, and they would see it when they entered the door.
Sure enough, the two gasped.
Second Aunt Su looked at the copper plates in the barrel, my God, she had never seen so much money!
This is what the dead girl earned all morning
Su Tang blocked it from the side, covered the wooden barrel where the money was placed with something, and pretended nothing happened.
But those two brains have obviously come alive.
Grandmother Su said: "Old lady, I came from the countryside to see you. I am relieved to see that you are doing well."
As she said that, Grandma Su pointed to Aunt Zhou and said, "Are you my family's servant? Hurry up and pour tea for the master."
Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to refute, Miss Su said, "Aunt Zhou is just a helper in the kitchen, not a servant. She also only cares about the kitchen. It's my granddaughter's job to pour tea."
Su Tang said, bringing tea to brew.
Grandmother Su said earnestly: "Since you paid her wages, she is my servant, serving tea. She must be bullying you when you are young, but granddaughter, don't worry, grandma will not let you be wronged when I come here. I This time I came here because of you and your younger brother, how will you two live without an elder at home."
What do you mean by this, do you intend to live there for a long time
Su Tang didn't like this so-called grandmother.
If you really love your grandchildren, you can come over after the original father's death, or you can live with them in the countryside.
That is caring.
Instead of letting the two siblings be bullied by their relatives in the capital.
Now that the two siblings are making money, she is here to put on airs as a grandmother, so is it easy to be an elder
If the original body was there, they might have been deceived.
But she is not the original body, she is Su Tang, and one can tell at a glance what plans this person has in mind.
Su Tang said lightly: "However we live, we are living. It's nothing more than suffering and being poor. If grandma really loves us, sister and brother, why not give us some money to live on. Then we will be grateful."
