Chapter 270 Uncle Su He and his friends return to town
Those pens were not made of Su He's hair, but from the tails of their own mules and donkeys. They were trying to make them, and since they saw that they were useful, they made more.
The pens that Su He and his friends use now are basically made by themselves. They should save as much money as possible. They didn't need to buy books in the town before. The ones given by Mr. Zhao from the library were enough for them.
They basically only needed books and paper to get here, and they didn't spend money on anything else they could do themselves. They all came from hard times and would not waste anything.
Su He was even more like this. He did what he could do himself, and taught his family members everything he could. Their family's food was brought from home, and it had just been used up. If the workshop had not started mass production, they would not have to go out to buy food.
Su He's farm produces a lot of food, so Su He basically doesn't have to go out to buy it. Su He thought that he would ask Hu Changxing and others to go to the town in the next few days, and by the way, send the preserved eggs made by his uncle to the farm outside Fengyu City. This way, they can be sent to Fumanlou together, and the payment for the goods from the farm can be taken back.
Although they hid here, the business of the manor did not stop, and someone was needed to help watch it. Of course, they went to see it as the new owner, and by the way, they asked about the situation in Fengyu City. It would be best if they could find out about the situation in the capital, so as to avoid being deaf and blind.
Su He did what he said. He held a family meeting at home. Since everyone in the family was there, he asked his uncle and others to come together and discuss it carefully to see if everyone had anything to say. He wrote it down on paper and asked Master Hu and others to do it together.
The uncle must have been worried about the store, so he wanted to go back secretly to check it out. This time, someone happened to be there, so he thought of going with them to check out the situation.
Su He thought about it and thought it was not a bad idea. He could ask his uncle to disguise himself and go home with them. As long as he didn't make a fuss, it shouldn't be a big deal. Fengyu City was even safer, as they hadn't seen him.
Finally, everyone agreed to let the uncle go back with them, first to the town, and then to the manor and Fengyu City. After everyone had discussed everything, they were waiting for them to set off together tomorrow.
The next day, they drove two carriages, one newly bought by Su He's family and one borrowed from Wang Xiaohu. The carriages moved faster, so they could return faster, saving their families from worrying about them.
They arrived at Baima Town with ease. The town was as lively as ever. There were many people in shabby clothes, most of whom were from villages near and far. They came here to buy some necessities of life, such as cloth and salt, which were not available in the village.
They tried their best to avoid pedestrians on the street and drove slowly to the tofu shop. The shop was doing good business, with people coming in and out, some buying to take away, and some buying to eat directly.
Because Uncle Su He and his friends came in a horse-drawn carriage, the people in the store thought they were customers and quickly invited them to come in and sit down. The carriage was tied on both sides of the door, and the shop assistant stood at the door to help watch over them.
It was the same in the past, with simple meals, and customers usually finished their meals in a short time. All the horse-drawn, ox-drawn, or donkey-drawn carts were parked on both sides, and the shop assistant stood at the door to greet customers and check the carts.
After Uncle Su He entered the store, he said to his brother-in-law in a rough voice, "Boss, the toilet is over there. Please take me to the bathroom."
His brother-in-law did not suspect anything, and pointed behind him and said, "Follow me, sir, and I will show you."
Uncle Su He took advantage of the situation and walked him to the house in the backyard, whispering all the way: "I am your brother-in-law, don't make anyone know what we are talking about in the house."
His brother-in-law had been doing business with him for such a long time, so his brain was still very good. After he said that his brother-in-law had passed away, someone came to inquire about it and knew that someone was looking for them.
As soon as the two of them entered the house and closed the door, he whispered happily, "Brother-in-law, you're back. Is everything okay there? Are my sister and the children okay? I'll be watching over you in the store, and I'll be at ease. I'll give you the money first, and I'll change it into silver notes for you."
