--
After having breakfast, Su Wangqin woke up the two children and made them drink a bowl of porridge.
They then send them to the Su family.
When Old Mrs. Su saw the two children, she raised her eyebrows impatiently and said, "You took a bowl of braised pork yesterday and wanted me to look after the children now? Why should I look after your kids? I ’m very busy at home, I ’m not free. ”
“Mother, I ’ve never skip honoring your filial piety, so please help me look after them this time. ”
Su Wangqin lowered his tone .
"After looking after them this one, there will be next one and another one in the future. Don't you live on your own now? Anyway, XiaoCheng is already big, he can look after the small one. You already cost me my braised pork.”
Old Lady Su whispered, her spit even splashing out.
Gu Chunzhu's eyebrows twisted.
Old Mrs. Su couldn't move on with the braised pork.
She stopped Su Wangqin who was about to answer and said with a smile: "Mother look after them, we will come back and bring you a white steam bun, as you said XiaoCheng is already big, they will not delay your work for sure "
" Hmp! " Old Mrs Su issued a dissatisfied snort, she raised her two rough fingers. "Make it atleast two white steamed buns. There are two children."
" Okay. "Gu Chunzhu gritted his teeth. .
As long as we can go to the county to sell game, we can earn a few more silver than selling it in the town. Two white buns aren't bad. The children's safety is more important.
"Father, Mother, you must return early." An An chased out and ran to the courtyard door with tears streaming down her dark eyes. Xiaocheng stood by the side trying to pull her back.

Later, A swearing voice sounded from Old Mrs. Su, "What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet! Your father and mother went out to earn money not anything else."
Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin speeded up their steps in a tacit understanding.
Back home, Su Wanqin packed his prey in a broken basket. He originally wanted to keep the litter of bunnies, but it could be sold it for a few more coppers.
There we'rent many wild grasses in the winter so every family rushed to cut weeds to feed the pigs.
Gu Chunzu and Su Wanqing gathered their litter of bunnies and the shrimps she caught yesterday. They placed it on another basket to sell.
The two went to the town on foot,
It was a cold and misty morning.
On the way, Su Wangqin found a bullock cart going to the county.
One person cost two coppers.
Gu Chunzu's flesh hurt, this litter of rabbits should be sold for a dozen coppers or it'll be a big loss.
They rode the ox cart and had a bumpy ride for two hours. Gu Chunzu's legs almost turned soft, she almost fell off the reel, luckily Su Wang Qin got a hold of her, he anxiously asked:
"Are you okay?,"
"Im not used to sit in a bullock cart. "
She exhaled weakly and leaned back on Su Wangqin like she was falling apart. After a while, she straightened herself, cheering up she asked
"Brother Wang, Where is the best restaurant here? "
" There! "Su Wangqin pointed at a direction.
Gu Chunzhu pointed his toes in that direction, ready to go forward.
Su Wangqin offered to help carry her basket but was refused. It took them some time to reach the restaurant.
A plaque of "Xiyinglou" greeted them that hung high at the door of the restaurant.

Su Wangqin rushed inside without any slight of timidity.
Gu Chunzhu dragged him back,
Su Wanqung looked at her blankly, "Don't you want to sell game in this restaurant?"
"We can't go in looking like this"
She said nervously.
Looking down at her and Su Wangqin's clothes and comparing it to the guests who walk in and out of the restaurant. Even if they came to sell things, delaying the business ahead of them would make people unhappy.
"Then ?..." Su Wangqin didn't understand.
"Come with me." Gu Chunzhu grabbed his wrist and led him around in a big circle to find the back door of Xiyinglou.
There was a maid who was sitting and washing vegetables. She stripped off the rotten vegetable leaves with inspectful eyes. Throw them away and continued workinh in a serious manner.
"Elder sister, do you accept game here?" Gu Chunzhu showed a smiley face.
When the aunt raised her head, Gu Chunzu reached out to the basket behind Su Wangqin. She didn't expect her hand to sink so much. Fortunately, Su Wangqin helped him out.
Gu Chunzhu dragged the rabbit's ears and pulled it out of the broken basket. The hare's hind legs vigorously kicked. It was a fat rabbit.
"Sister-in-law, there are hunters in our restaurant that specializes in supplying, we may not accept retail sellers."
The aunt said apologetically. Seeing the clothes of Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin, she guessed that they might come from the village.
Since she said no, Su Wangqin was ready to pull Gu Chunzhu away but he didn't expect her to answer and said: "It's almost winter now, and the game sent by the hunters is less. , I think you are still out of stock. It ’s better to buy rabbit from us and keep it. That way you can supply it to your customers even in winter "
" This ... "Auntie thought about the fact that came from Gu Chunzu's mouth , her face showed a trouble expression.
"I'm only doing chores, this is managed by Chef Zhang."
Seeing that the maid was kind and easy to talk, Gu Chunzhu threw the rabbit back into the broken basket and got close to the maid, she quietly stuffed two coppers on her hand
"Sister, please help me pass it on."
" If Chef Zhang can't come out, I can't decide on this"
The Aunt's hands shivered, presumably doing this for the first time.
"Even if he don't, Still, thank you elder sister. We will leave and will not delay your errand."
Gu Chunzhu knew the doubts in her heart.
This aunt doesn't want to take their money for nothing.
Su Wangqin, who was standing behind Gu Chunzhu, saw her stuffing money. His eyes widened a bit. He was holding his breath worried that the chef might not really come out.
Luckily, the chef came out with the aunt.
With a large belly that most cook have, the chef voice sounded
"I dont usually accept things from retail sellers, but Guisao mentioned that your rabbit is lively and fat. I came out to see it"
She didn't expect that the maid would say good things about her product.
Gu Chunzhu just tried it. After all, it has been in a human society from ancient times to the present.
"Chef Zhang, you rank first in our Ping'an County with such cooking skills. No one dared to call themselves second. You are as bright as the torch, you can even see at a glance that my rabbit is fat and alive. This golden pheasant just died earlier. We also have badgers and river prawns "
Gu Chunzhu took the game out..
