Chapter 199 Wang Qingqing
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when they finished all this. Su He took her family to the noodle stall to eat. There were not enough seats at the stall, so everyone went to the wonton shop next door to sit. Even there, many people were still standing.
Grandma found a porridge shop across the street and took Zheng to see it. There were yellow millet porridge.
"Aqiao, we older people should drink some porridge. I heard that millet porridge is the best for the stomach. Let's try it."
Zheng took Sun's hand and sat down happily.
"Okay sister-in-law, I'll drink this millet porridge just like you. Let's listen to Lotus and take good care of our bodies."
The two of them were in high spirits and chose an empty square table to sit at. Then they ordered a bowl of millet porridge in a casserole, and the stall owner also gave them a small plate of pickled cucumbers.
After eating the hot rice porridge and eating some pickled cucumbers, Sun felt relaxed.
"Why does this millet porridge taste sweet? Sister-in-law, people in the south are so particular about their porridge that they even put sugar in it?"
Zheng followed Sun's example and ate a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of pickled cucumber. After she finished eating, she felt the delicious taste lingering in her mouth.
The stall owner next to him smiled and said, "You must be from outside, old man. Rice porridge in our south is like this. This millet porridge is sweet. I added a little bit of pumpkin to it, so it tastes sweet. It's the best to drink in winter."
Sun smiled and nodded, "I see. We usually have vegetable porridge, meat porridge and some pickles."
"This is salty porridge. I have it here too. You guys are from the north, right? You can try our seafood porridge next time. The taste is absolutely right. You can still try it this month, but you won't be able to eat it next month."
Zheng wondered why there were different times for fishing.
"Next month is the fishing ban period, and we can't start fishing until the end of April."
"What's in this seafood porridge?"
Su He came over with a bowl of noodles. She had been to a porridge shop in modern times that specialized in seafood porridge. The taste was so good, in one word: delicious!
"There are shrimps, fish, mushrooms, and scallops. We have everything. There are two crabs left today. Hehe, they will be absolutely delicious if you put them in there."
The stall owner gave a thumbs up to promote his product, and Su He nodded. "How much is one serving with crab?"
"110 wen for a casserole, and 40 wen more for a crab."
"I want both. I want two pots with crabs, and two extra pots of ordinary seafood porridge. It'll be faster."
Su He paid the money directly and sat next to Sun to eat noodles first.
"Okay, girl, eat your noodles first and wait another quarter of an hour. This porridge of mine is absolutely right."
The most expensive porridge was sold out in one go. The stall owner took the money with a smile on his face and went to catch crabs, which he chopped into four pieces with quick movements. Then he started adding water to cook the porridge.
"Lotus, just buy a pot to try it, why buy so much?"
Sun thought the porridge was too expensive; the millet porridge she ordered was only 30 cents per serving.
"Grandma, seafood porridge is expensive. We have never eaten it before. Let's try it this time."
20 minutes later, the ordinary seafood porridge was ready. Su He asked Dali and his family to each have a bowl to taste.
Then my family and I waited for seafood porridge with crabs.
After a while, Goudan and Wang Laowu actually developed rashes. Su He then realized that some people are allergic to seafood.
"Come and get some people to take Uncle Wu and Goudan to the clinic to get some medicine. It'll be a good opportunity for us to go see Grandpa."
Su He found out that Renjitang was nearby, and called a group of people to go to the clinic.
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon. It would take three hours to reach Qingshan Village by horse carriage. Su He thought about it and decided to get up early tomorrow to set off again.
"Grandma, is it delicious?"
Su He drank two bowls in a row before he had time to talk.
Sun nodded in satisfaction. "It's really delicious. The South is really a good place. There's water, food, and seafood to eat."
"Then let's continue drinking this tomorrow morning. I asked the stall owner, and they opened their stall at 12:00 a.m. I asked them to cook six pots of seafood porridge and buy some meat buns. We will have a full breakfast and go to Qingshan Village. We will be busy later and won't have time to eat properly."
Su He was the only one in the whole village willing to spend so much money, and it was assumed that she was the one to treat, so Sun agreed with a smile.
Su He wiped his mouth, took out another tael of silver and handed it to the stall owner to reserve breakfast for the next day. He then went to the side and ordered three hundred meat buns. Their lunch would be meat buns.
After Wang Fugui and his companions had eaten, they went to the dock to pick up their luggage. Their cloth was still on the boat.
After Su He and everyone finished eating, they prepared to find an inn to stay in. All the important things were done, and they could take a good rest today. If nothing else, the important thing was to wash off the dust on their bodies and have a good sleep.
"He, Sister Lotus."
Su He looked to the right in confusion, and the person who called her was actually Xu Lian'er.
Her face was covered with tear marks, and she looked at Su He with red eyes, "Can we talk?"
Su He opened her mouth to refuse, but somehow she thought of the goods in the warehouse. Forget it, just listen.
"Row."
Su He said hello to his family and went.
The two of them walked to the side where there were fewer people. Su He glanced at Xu Lian'er and took the initiative to talk to her.
"Are you looking for me?"
"I'm alone now, and I want to ask if you can take me with you. I also want to go to Qingshan Village. I have my own silver. I can give you the silver. This is what my father gave me."
Xu Lian'er took out two thousand taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Su He with both hands.
Su He looked at the banknotes in front of him in confusion, "Why don't you live in the city? Besides, it has nothing to do with us if you live in Qingshan Village. It's fine as long as the chief clerk agrees."
Seeing that Su He didn't answer, Xu Lian'er became anxious. "I'm alone in the city, and I'm afraid of being plotted against. Dad said that you are all reliable people, so let me follow you. I can do everything else by myself, but I just need to let others think that I'm not alone."
Now Su He understood that this meant finding someone to rely on.
"I didn't expect Master Xu to think so highly of us?"
Xu Lian'er blushed with embarrassment, "No, it's my biological father. I just got out of jail, and my father said that you guys are kind-hearted and it's safe to follow you."
Speaking of Wang Qing, Su He sighed inwardly. Why did she take that pile of goods? Look, isn't this trouble?
Su He frowned and thought for a long time, but finally took the banknote from Xu Lian'er.
"If you can convince the chief registrar to allow you to go, we will have no objection. But if you look down on me like before, I will not return the money, and we will not help you anymore."
Xu Lian'er happily grabbed Su He's arm, and promised with a smile that she would never do that again. She finally felt relieved.
"Sister Lotus, don't worry, I have turned over a new leaf. I will listen to you from now on."
Su He looked at Xu Lian'er who was clinging to him, his mouth twitching speechlessly.
"Okay, we will go to Qingshan Village early tomorrow morning. You should go to the government office and buy some land."
"Sister Lotus, I've already bought it, just like you, 10 acres of paddy fields and 5 acres of wasteland. Also, I've changed my name. I'm now Wang Qingqing, which means sunny. The magistrate is very kind and is willing to help me change it."
"Sister Lotus, what do you think when you build a house? I'll build the same one as you."
"Should we go stay at an inn? The one I'm staying at is pretty good. I'll take everyone with me. It's my treat today."
