Su Qingluan still didn't grasp the implication of Wu Dani's words, and just sighed: "Everyone's life was really hard in the past."
Turning around, she thought again, fortunately it was early summer when she traveled through time, and there were still a lot of wild ingredients available. What's more, there was a water source passing through Huaxi Village, and the fish and shrimp were all ready-made, which was convenient for her to use her skills.
Otherwise, there is a saying that goes well: "It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." If she happens to travel to the coldest month of winter, when all things are extinct, she will probably have to eat what is available at home - no matter how good her cooking skills are, she will not be able to cook without rice. It’s possible to turn grass roots and tree bark into a Manchu-Han banquet!
Su Qingluan was thinking about a lot of messy things for a while, and she couldn't help but get distracted. Wu Dani next to her couldn't help but stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her: "You are walking well, why are you so stupid?" Already?"
"Oh...it's nothing..." Su Qingluan couldn't admit what was really going on in her mind, so she just made up random excuses, "I was just thinking that it's really not easy for everyone, life is so hard."
"But it's much better now," Wu Erni said hello to the neighbors in Huaxi Village passing by, while turning to Su Qingluan and said, "Basically every family has some spare money this year. Look, they all come to the town to buy. Autumn vegetables, I want to pickle them and eat them in winter when there is heavy snow and the mountains are closed."
"Heavy snow seals the mountain?!" Su Qingluan was surprised, "Does it happen every year?"
Wu Dani didn't expect Su Qingluan's reaction to be so big, but she still nodded: "Although it doesn't happen every year, there are very few times when the mountain is not closed, so we have to be prepared every year - I know the longest time , or I was almost your age before I got married, and the mountains were closed for almost a month that year."
After a pause, Wu Dani added: "My father saw that his family was about to starve to death, so he went out hunting in the heavy snow, and then..." Then, the thinly-clad hunter became the prey of nature, and was never seen again. Couldn't come back.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Wu Dani didn't know what to say next, and Su Qingluan felt like a light on her back. Nothing she said was appropriate, and everything she said seemed like an afterthought.
What's more, he sent his own brother to jail.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan felt even more restless.
This kind of restlessness does not mean that she regrets it - in that case, whether it is for public or private reasons, Su Qingluan feels that there is no problem for her to report to the official.
But in this situation, Su Qingluan still felt an inexplicable guilty conscience - not towards the idiot Wu Erman, but towards the remaining Wu family Mrs. Wu and Wu Dani.
Probably because she could tell what Su Qingluan was thinking, Wu Dani smiled brightly and said to Su Qingluan who suddenly became embarrassed: "You don't have to feel sorry for me and my mother--that brother of mine dared to mess up When I put things into the jam that was being eaten, I didn’t even think about his sister or his mother.”
This is true. Wu Erman put the jam in the ground, whether it was Shenxian powder or the croton he wanted to put in at the beginning. As long as those powerful people had problems eating it, they would probably ignore everything and take the participation in the production. All the staff were cleared away.
There is no fairness or human rights in the laws of this era. Sometimes, if a rich and powerful person wants to buy off a poor person's life, even his life, it is possible - even if he pays more money, he can Avoid being punished.
Isn't it fair? Of course it's unfair. Who can talk to you about fairness these days?
Therefore, even if Wu Erman is not caught by Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang, he will most likely be angered and retaliate for "participating in the production of jam", and even Wu Dani will not be immune from implication.
And this is not just something that can be solved by being in jail - from this perspective, Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang even saved Wu Erman's life.
However, this is what happened, but it is difficult to say it, otherwise it will always feel like poking a scar, so Su Qingluan used a twist that was more blunt than a sudden drift to bring the topic to another side: "Everyone seems to be making kimchi. , it feels like there is a sour and sour smell all over the roads in the village.”
She had wanted to say this before - everyone was pickling vegetables. As Su Qingluan walked by, she felt like she was getting pickled.
Wu Dani sighed: "It's better than having to pay rent for a whole year's harvest and still have to keep the grain for next year's sowing, leaving a few crooked melons and cracked dates to wait for starvation in the winter. In previous years, even pickles, I can’t see many of them.”
Because there is no surplus food and no spare money, naturally there is no energy to pickle any autumn vegetables.
"Thank you." Wu Dani suddenly turned her head, "I don't know what others think, but anyway, because of you, I made more money this year than in previous years, and I also received a second round of benefits for myself, my mother-in-law, and my family. The head of the family and the children have bought winter clothes, and this winter is finally not that difficult for my family.”
In fact, Su Qingluan didn't know that many people in the village had a lot better lives due to her own reasons - because this was the idea when she first presented the set of jam to Xie Zian.
But she never thought about getting any face-to-face praise or honor - for what purpose, maybe it was the mother's heart that had nowhere to rest and couldn't bear to see her relatives and friends starve to death in front of her eyes?
But she also knew that she was doing this just to satisfy the "intolerance" in her heart.
However, now, someone actually said "thank you" to her seriously in front of her, and even said that this winter would be much better because of her. This made Su Qingluan suddenly feel at a loss.
It was obviously not an embarrassing thing to say, and the other party was obviously expressing gratitude, but Su Qingluan still felt the embarrassment of digging her toes into the ground and wanting to immediately carry the train and roll off the earth.
Suddenly, she felt as if her tongue was knotted: "No... that... just..."
After muttering for a long time, Su Qingluan didn't know what to say, and finally whispered: "I...I also made a lot of money..."
This is not modesty. There are not too many people in the capital who are stupid and want a mouthful of delicious food. Su Qingluan looked at how happily Xie Deshun gave the banknote and even had some doubts. The price of his original "Lion's Big Mouth" was It's not that it's too cheap.
Even if she gives all workers more generous wages than elsewhere, and even provides various "welfare" benefits, excluding the costs of various employment and materials, Su Qingluan can still make a net profit of 40% to 50%. Profit - this is already very considerable in Su Qingluan's eyes.
After all, she had no intention of making a profit at the beginning.
...In the final analysis, there are still too many rich people in the capital. Su Qingluan has no intuitive concept of the extent of "rich families" in this era.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan suddenly became eager to open a store in the capital.
