After returning home, everyone in the Su family was so happy to see this basket of bubbly river crabs that they danced with joy. In short, because of these ten crabs, the Su family had a particularly rich dinner.
The excitement of the "Edict of Sin" finally spread from Lefeng County to the small village of Huaxi Village. Everyone has been working on the farm with their backs to the sky all year round, and finally some kind of "Edict of Sin" was issued. The farmers didn't know the deeper intention behind it, they just wanted to see it as a novelty and for fun.
It was so easy to have such a topic that was different from the ordinary eating, drinking, and diarrhea, and everyone was discussing it with gusto.
Naturally, someone talks about this in Su Qingluan's sketch class every ten days.
When sorting out her belongings after class, Su Qingluan looked at Mu Xingzhi: "How long has the current emperor been in court?"
Mu Xingzhi glanced at Su Qingluan: "If we count this year, it will be twenty-seven years."
Su Qingluan looked at Mu Xingzhi: "In the past twenty-seven years, has not one eclipse of the moon happened? Or... what about the 'Tengu eclipse of the sun'?"
Mu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Of course there is."
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Su Qingluan couldn't help complaining: "The Heavenly Dog is very busy today. He eats the moon and the sun. He eats uneasily and is scared away every time. But he doesn't. He has a long memory and keeps coming back every once in a while, so he doesn’t seem to be very smart.”
Mu Xingzhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "If you say so, that day dog is quite resilient. It has been tempered many times and is indomitable."
The two of them joked for a while, but Su Qingluan was about to leave when he suddenly lowered his head and seemed to be muttering to himself: "I don't know why this emperor is here today, but he issued the 'Edict of Sin' this time?"
Of course, she didn't look at Mu Xingzhi, but intuitively she felt that this person must have done something or used some method.
But as usual, she wouldn't get to the bottom of it. Again, she just needs to keep her head down, do her own thing well, and provide corresponding value. Curiosity killed the cat, and she won't ask more questions to put herself and her family at risk.
But occasionally she would "prick" Mu Xingzhi a little like she did today to make him understand that he was not really a tool and a fool who only knew how to work as a doorman.
Originally, Su Qingluan thought that, like countless times in the past, Mu Xingzhi would not say anything and would just smile and remain silent. Unexpectedly, he asked this time: "If this matter has something to do with me, how will you treat it?"
Su Qingluan took a step toward the door, then turned around and said, "No matter what, I'll do whatever I have to do." Su Qingluan looked at Mu Xingzhi's eyes that looked like a deep pool at first glance, without any flinching. , "I have no interest in the affairs of my family, country, and world. I just want to protect my family and live a good life. But I also know that no eggs are left intact after the nest is overturned, so even if the floods are raging, I must at least earn a boat ticket for myself and my family." no?"
"Do you think I am someone who can afford a 'ship ticket'?" Mu Xingzhi asked.
Su Qingluan shrugged: "At least you are more likely than a flat-headed commoner like me, aren't you?"
Of course, Su Qingluan actually had some things he didn't say. In her view, being able to remain anonymous for several years in this remote rural village is a typical "grassroots" job.
One of the most taboo things for a superior is to live in the vacuum fairy tale constructed by his subordinates. From this point of view, the man in front of him has already taken a crucial step forward than many others.
It's just that Su Qingluan still doesn't know whether the person in front of her is aiming for that supreme position - whether it is or not, she can't say it too clearly.
After all, if the person in front of you really wants to earn that position, "The heart of a king is unpredictable" has always been a wise saying.
After coming out of Mu Xingzhi's home, Su Qingluan ran towards her home quickly, taking in the increasingly cold wind as thin as a mouthful.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw Su Guangfu tossing charcoal and firewood in the small warehouse in the backyard.
"A lot of shipments arrived today!" Su Qingluan looked at Su Guangfu, "Dad, I'm here to help too!"
Su Guangfu waved his hand: "This charcoal will turn black as soon as you touch it. Don't touch it. I can do it myself. You have been tired for a long time, so go and rest in the house to warm yourself up."
Su Qingluan felt warm in his heart after hearing a series of chattering, so he stood aside and watched Su Guangfu tossing the coal and firewood.
The family that originally bought firewood was the father and son who had been supplying the firewood when they set up a water stall in Sujiazhi, Lefeng Town.
Unlike the Su family who doesn't mind this expenditure, the Liu family needs to consider the increased cost of directly purchasing coal, which will lead to a reduction in profits.
At the beginning, because Yagyu's legs and feet were not that agile, he needed to buy some coal and firewood to burn the stove for cooking the stew.
However, as Liu Sheng got better and better during this period, and his legs and feet gradually became much stronger, the Liu family began to think about cutting firewood themselves as much as possible to reduce this part of the expenditure.
However, the father and son who originally sold charcoal were solely for the Su family to make a living. The Liu family needed to "cut back" and they needed to find another buyer.
However, in such a large Lefeng County, there are very few people with such reasonable prices as the Su family. Moreover, everyone thinks that they can make firewood themselves, so the few times they buy it are just for emergencies, and it will never last long.
Later, it was Liu Yunniang who told Su Qingluan about this.
Su Qingluan naturally didn't think the Liu family had done anything wrong. After all, it was not like their own family who didn't mind the monthly expenses.
But the father and son who sell charcoal are indeed struggling to make ends meet.
It happened that at this time, the Su family was very busy during the day and had to coax their children at night. There was really no extra time to go into the mountains to chop firewood and stock up on materials for the winter fire. After the heavy snow closed the mountains, it was quite difficult to open the door and leave the house, let alone cut firewood.
So Su Qingluan simply thought of a way to get the best of both worlds: let the charcoal seller and his son deliver the charcoal and firewood to the Su family, and as long as the quality was guaranteed, the Su family would take whatever they got.
Accordingly, the Su family will pay 20% more as a "door-to-door fee" to the father and son selling charcoal, which is equivalent to the "human flesh delivery fee."
Anyway, they have to carry charcoal firewood over mountains and ridges and walk through the streets. The two father and son selling charcoal are actually used to it. Now that they can actually earn 20% more income on top of the fair price, the two of them are as happy as anything. Even every bundle of firewood and every basket of charcoal are carefully selected.
Anything that was too fine was sifted out, leaving only intact charcoal and firewood of good quality.
Of course, this is also an unexpected surprise for the Su family.
The Su family can use all this firewood for three years, let alone one winter. It can be used in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Naturally, it is impossible to pile it all here. So Su Qingluan gave each of the remaining families who had not received "welfare" a piece of firewood.
The amount is not large, but it is given in the name of "comfort benefits", which is not enough to leave the remaining people with nothing. Those who have received more benefits will naturally have nothing to say, and the rest will not receive any additional rewards. , I was very happy to receive this unexpected surprise. In short, everyone was happy.
Of course, everyone discovered that the quality of charcoal in this company was exceptionally good, which made the father and son famous, but that was a story later.
