The whole village was waiting to see Su Pangya’s mishap.
However, after one day passed, the little pony didn’t die.
Two days had passed, and the little pony was still alive.
Three days had passed, and the little pony stood up!
The news came from Niudan’s mouth.
As a friend of three little ones, Niudan was bullied again and cried, so he was given the opportunity to feed the little pony.
“It stood up while I fed it ah!”
Some folks didn’t believe Niudan’s words and personally went to the Su family’s house.
As a result, they found that the little pony could do more than standing up. It could walk around!
Although it was shaky and trembled, it looked much more energetic than a few days ago!
At least, it no longer looked like it would die anytime soon!
Lizheng* exclaimed, “Pangya really…… can keep it alive ah.”
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year, Su Xiaoxiao’s business would officially open tomorrow.
But because she spent all her savings to buy a horse and donkey, Su Xiaoxiao became so poor that she could not even afford to buy ingredients.
She has only two days worth of ingredients to make pastries.
——
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head angrily!
Sigh, why did she buy the horse?
“Daya, are you there?”
Father Su’s voice came from outside the door.
Su Xiaoxiao closed the account book and regained her composure, “Yes, dad, come in.”
Father Su entered the room, without extra words, he gave her a brand new money pouch.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“I don’t know how to spend it, so just take it.” Father Su said.
The total amount of money inside was 5 taels, which Su Xiaoxiao gave to Father Su.
Father Su was so stingy that he didn’t even spend a single penny.
No, he did spend 10 coppers and bought a string of candied haws.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched the money pouch in her hand, she only felt a warmth that reached to the bottom of her heart, making the tip of her nose feel a little itchy, “Dad……”
Father Su waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’m going to sleep, and you also should sleep soon.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Father Su’s back and said seriously, “Dad, I will earn a lot of money! I will turn your 5 taels into 500 taels! Then into 5,000 taels!”
Father Su was amused.
Needless to say 5,000 taels, it is good if you can earn 5 taels back.
But what can he do? She is his own daughter. Even if she was a notorious spendthrift, she would still be pampered!
At night, Su Yuniang’s younger brother came again.
She sneakily handed Su Xiaoxiao a money pouch, he looked around, and whispered, “My elder sister said this is not the consultation fee, she is lending it to you, so you have to pay it back later!”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the money pouch, and unexpectedly there were two silver ingots of 5 taels.
Su Yuniang was really rich!
……
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke up early. Mrs. Wu and Liu Ping also came to her house before dawn.
Mrs. Wu was mainly responsible for separating the egg yolks and egg whites of salted duck eggs.
After pickling, the salted egg white was still in liquid form, while the egg yolk had already solidified, so it was not difficult to separate.
Just made a small hole in the egg shell and poured out the egg white.
In order to improve efficiency, Su Xiaoxiao made a simple box with evenly spaced grids.
So each time, they only needed to make a small hole in the eggshell and transfer it onto each grid, allowing the egg white to flow down smoothly and drip into the jar below.
The filtered salted egg white could be used to marinate meat, stir-fry vegetables, cooking porridge, and so on.
Jinji only wanted the raw salted egg yolks, which helped Su Xiaoxiao with the process.

Lizheng* exclaimed, “Pangya really…… can keep it alive ah.”
Su Pangya once again used her skill to amaze villagers, and Mrs. Zhou, who was always gloating and gossiping around, didn’t dare to say anything.*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment.
