After that, she tried to enter the pharmacy a few times but failed. She seriously suspected that the pharmacy was trembling with anger after she fleeced it the last time.

Wei Ting’s token was still inside.

After the last time, she realized that the token might be a hot potato. Whoever took it would be unlucky. Unfortunately, she could not take it out now…

Liu Ping now treated Fatty Su as his benefactor. When he found out that he was coming over today, he specially went to the pond at the back of the mountain to catch a few wild carp.

The biggest one was more than a catty, and the smallest one was half a catty.

To be able to catch such fat carp in the winter, Liu Ping was indeed capable.

“Fish.” The three little ones squatted in the backyard and looked at the fish in the basin. The Meizi sisters were also there.

Su Ergou teased them. “Isn’t the little fish cute?”

“Cute,” Little Meizi said.

Dahu slurped. “Braised.”

Erhu said, “Fried.”

Xiaohu said, “Stewed soup.”

Little Meizi exclaimed, “My three younger brothers are so scary!”

The adults continued to talk in the central room.

“I haven’t seen Uncle and Mr. Wei,” Liu Ping said.

Since he had come to visit, he had to greet the two of them. He was a little silly, but he still understood the ways of the world.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, my father and Wei Ting went to the fields to pick vegetables.”

Liu Ping sighed inwardly. This family had changed so much. Even the bully boss, Father Su, had gone to the fields to pick vegetables.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I called you here today to discuss work.”

Liu Ping hurriedly said, “Meizi’s mother told me about it. I can do anything! Really!”

Su Xiaoxiao was amused. “Alright, then I’ll tell you what business we have now. Sister Wu should have mentioned the braised meat business and snack business to you.”

Liu Ping said, “Ah, She mentioned it before. She said that your food is especially delicious. I tried it too… It’s indeed delicious!”

The Su family had given them fried meatballs and snacks during the new year. There was also cured meat, braised meat, and snacks.

He was definitely not saying this to flatter Fatty Su. He really felt that the food was especially delicious!

It could be seen that Liu Ping was still a little nervous for the first time in a bully’s house.

There was no hurry. After interacting with her more in the future, he would slowly adapt.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “After the new year, the braised meat and snacks business will continue. In addition, there will be a salted egg business.”

“Salted eggs?”

Madam Wu whispered, “The duck egg I gave you! You said the egg yolk was delicious!”

“Ahhh! That!” Liu Ping looked at Fatty Su in admiration. “Daya, you can even make duck eggs like that. You’re too capable!”

Who said that Liu Ping was naive? Wasn’t he quite savvy when he complimented people?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Everyone has their own abilities but in different ways. Currently, our business is in the beginning stages. We don’t have enough manpower, so we have to do various things. But Brother Liu, don’t worry. I won’t treat you badly.”

Liu Ping said solemnly, “Daya, you’re treating us like outsiders. You’ve helped us so much. If it weren’t for you, not to mention splitting up, we would have been scolded to death by the villagers. With just a word from you, I, Liu Ping, can even smear my head on the ground!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you mean to say you would go through all sorts of trials for me?”

Liu Ping was stunned. “Ah, I can also be your disciple!”

Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

Why was Liu Ping so funny?

Regarding the division of labor, Su Xiaoxiao already had a clear plan in her heart. Little Wu was still in charge of the previous work. The difference was that she was separated from the Liu family and did not have to hide anymore. The working hours could be lengthened.

Of course, it was within a reasonable time. She would not squeeze her employees dry.

After the working hours were extended, the production could keep up with the demand. Be it the braised meat business, the snack business, or even the supply to Jin Ji, it would be much easier than before.

Liu Ping’s main mission was the transportation of products.

If she did well, she could start her own logistics in the future.

Business in a small town could not satisfy her. Her goal was the entire Qingzhou and even the entire Great Zhou!

Hmm… It was too early to brag. She had to resolve the current problem first.

“There will be a lot of goods to transport in the future, so we need a means of transportation,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“You mean the ox cart?” Liu Ping asked.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “The ox cart is too slow.”

It would be dark before two deliveries can be made.

Liu Ping had seen many types of carts when he was working hard outside. He thought for a moment and said, “The faster ones are the donkey cart and mule cart. A carriage is too expensive.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t consider the carriage for the time being.

Including the consultation fees she had earned, although she had a considerable sum of silver, she roughly understood the price of horses. A medium-sized Southwestern horse would be sold for between 70 and 80 taels.

A horse alone could empty her fanny pack, let alone a cart.

“I know how to make a handcart.” Liu Ping scratched his head. “I used to work as a carpenter for a few years.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. She had found a treasure!

Liu Ping continued, “Today is the tenth day. The docks open early. There’s a horse market there. Shall I ask around?”

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. “Is there a dock in our town?”

Liu Ping said, “It’s from the neighboring town. It belongs to the government relay station and is adjacent to our town. If we follow the official road, it’s not far. If we’re fast, we can arrive in more than an hour.”

It was no wonder that the city opened early.

Strictly speaking, the relay station was not closed. There were also soldiers on duty on New Year’s Eve, in case of emergency military intelligence and danger everywhere.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll go with you.”

Since she had nothing to do at home, she might as well go to the ancient horse market.

“Mother!”

The three little ones clattered over.

During this period of time, Su Xiaoxiao had been at home. The three little ones were used to her company and were even more clingy to her. They could not leave her for a moment.

“Dahu wants to go.”

“Erhu will go too.”

“And Xiaohu.”

Faced with three little fellows who would wheedle and act cute for no reason, Su Xiaoxiao could not do justice to her training in her previous life to be cold and brutal.

“It’s a long, long walk.” She tried to scare them off.

Xiaohu stretched out his small hand and said seriously, “I’m not afraid. I can walk. I can walk.”

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Madam Wu reminded her husband, “Go and borrow Uncle Li’s ox cart.”

Liu Ping glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and replied, “Hey, okay! I’ll go now!”

When Old Li heard that Su Xiaoxiao was going to town, he pulled out his ox cart without a word.

Liu Ping was about to pay when Old Li glared at him. “What are you doing? Why would I need you to pay for my ox cart!”

Liu Ping smiled awkwardly and pulled the ox cart away.

“Sister! I’ll go too!” Su Ergou said.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her chubby hand. “Alright, get on the ox cart!”

Madam Wu wouldn’t go to town. She would stay to pickle the salted eggs.

The family left valiantly.

Su Xiaoxiao walked. She wanted to lose weight.

The villagers were not too surprised to see Liu Ping driving Old Li’s ox cart out with the Su family.

They understood that Liu Ping owed Fatty Su a debt, causing the couple to sell themselves as slaves. The news had long spread throughout the village.

Along with this was the news of Fatty Su delivering Madam Zhao’s child on New Year’s Eve.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go to the village to gossip. Otherwise, she would know how much of a commotion she had caused.

It was fine if she suddenly changed her personality, but she even turned over a new leaf and started a business.

It was fine if she was doing business, but she was actually a midwife in the village at such a young age!

“Midwife? Fatty doesn’t just know how to deliver babies! Have you heard about Yu Niang? After she gave birth, she almost went to see the King of Hell! It was Fatty Su who pulled her back from the gates of hell!”

“Really? Are you kidding me!”

“If you don’t believe me, go ask Old Su yourself!”

If someone really came to ask, although the Su family did not want to remember Fatty Su’s credit, Su Yuniang was honest and admitted that it was Fatty Su who cured her.

For a moment, Fatty Su became famous in the village!
