With just a few words from Mu Xingzhi, Su Qingluan, who was about to get chicken blood, suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished.
After some calculations, tomorrow was indeed the day Su Qingluan originally stipulated to take a rest every ten days.
She sat on the edge of the bed a little frustrated: "I forgot."
As usual, Mu Xingzhi picked up a book and read it under the lamp: "Isn't it a good thing that you don't have to get up early tomorrow? Why does your expression seem like the sky is falling?"
Su Qingluan usually vented his anger and pushed open the folded quilt with all his strength, and said angrily: "Didn't it say in "The Controversy of Cao GUI", 'One burst of strength will weaken again, and three times will be exhausted.' I just decided to cheer up tomorrow. If you work hard, you'll be 'working hard', but if you don't take a bath tomorrow, you'll just 'wane'..."
Mu Xingzhi nodded: "I thought Qingluan was only interested in those travel notes. Didn't I think you could also read Zuo Zhuan?"
Half of Su Qingluan's thoughts were still depressed that he would not be able to successfully rebuild morale and make money tomorrow, so he was a little absent-minded. After listening to Mu Xingzhi's words, he couldn't turn around for a moment: "Huh? What kind of left pass..."
Faced with Mu Xingzhi's indescribable expression, Su Qingluan realized: "Isn't "Cao Gui's Debate" from "Zuo Zhuan"?
God knows that she has a good memory when she remembers this text. After so many years after graduation, she only remembers one sentence: "One rush, then fade, three times, and then exhaust." After all, this is the most famous sentence in this article.
But she had almost returned the remaining knowledge points to the Chinese teacher, so she didn't even think of it for a while. This article was from Zuo Zhuan. God knows that the most common test points in this text are recitation and reading. Interpretation, as for "literary knowledge", they are basically comprehensive multiple-choice questions, so Su Qingluan has basically forgotten it!
Normally when Mu Xingzhi encounters this kind of situation, he will stop asking questions and stop asking any more questions, just like Su Qingluan pretending to be confused about certain things.
But today, Mu Xingzhi sighed thoughtfully: "In Qingluan's original world, could women actually study the Classics and History Collection?"
After saying that, he lowered his head to read as if nothing had happened. Unexpectedly, Su Qingluan's heart was like a thunder: Did he guess it? He actually guessed it?
Wait, is this a deliberate temptation by Mu Xingzhi? Is it intentional? Does he want to see himself waver and reveal his flaws? Or does he already have some conclusive evidence? Could it be that this guy also traveled through time?
No, no, no... Su Qingluan rejected this conjecture almost instantly: She had shown her off so many times before, but Mu Xingzhi had some possibility of time travel. With this guy's meticulous thinking, he would definitely guess that he The origin has changed eight hundred and sixty, why do you need to ask this now?
But under normal circumstances, do people directly feel that someone comes from another world? Wouldn’t the first thing that comes to mind is that there’s something wrong with you?
After thinking a lot, Su Qingluan's hangover feeling was gone. After calming down, Su Qingluan asked with great difficulty: "Well... what did you mean by what you just said?"
Mu Xingzhi raised his head innocently: "What 'just said'?"
"It's just... the 'original world' or something..." Su Qingluan still felt that she was not big enough to tell Mu Xingzhi about the time travel. She did not dare to challenge the bottom line of people's acceptance in this era.
"Didn't you say that yourself when you were drunk?" Mu Xingzhi raised his head and looked at her, "You said your original world was good, but you didn't like it here..."
Su Qingluan was not sure to what extent she had talked drunkenly while drunk, and she intuitively felt that she could not rush to clear things up now, otherwise she would definitely be suspected of getting darker and darker.
So she explained vaguely: "I guess I feel that my current life is not satisfactory, so I want to change... And I feel that when I am drunk, I can't distinguish between reality and dreams. Maybe I put it in my dreams." What wonderful experiences have you seen that you take as reality? Anyway, drunks can’t take them too seriously, don’t you think?”
Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan until he couldn't keep the smile on her face. Then he retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head again and focused his gaze on the book in his hand: "Qingluan is right, the weather is getting darker." It’s too late, you should take a rest.”
Su Qingluan was feeling guilty and panicked at this time. She wished she could use sleep as an excuse to avoid Mu Xingzhi's possible further questioning, so she quickly hid under the quilt.
But after being so "scared" by Mu Xingzhi, the sleepy bugs she originally trained were so frightened that they didn't know where to fly, so she simply made a mental discussion of the new developments of "Su Ji" route.
In fact, after more than two years of development, "Su Ji"'s jam has become an almost unsurpassed existence in this category.
Of course, this does not mean that the jam from "Su Kee" tastes great.
It is true that the fruit jam carefully prepared by Su Qingluan was initially refreshing because of its rich and varied taste. It quickly captured the taste buds of dignitaries from all over the world, and because it was sold at a high price, it even became a status symbol for a time.
But Su Qingluan never thought that his craft was an insurmountable gap.
In fact, ever since it was discovered that "Su Kee" jam was favored by various wealthy families, some people have wanted to produce competing products, even if they cannot completely replace "Su Kee", they still want a piece of the pie.
And there are people everywhere with sharp tongues. As long as you taste it carefully, even if you can't taste the specific seasoning ratio, you can definitely taste that "Su Kee" jam has sugar, salt and spices added to it.
In this case, it is only a matter of time before a "counterfeit" product is discovered. However, in this era, there is no patent protection, let alone a "no vicious competition" bill. Therefore, if the prescription is obtained, counterfeit products will flood everywhere. yes.
From the very beginning, Su Qingluan anticipated this - if you want to make a humble food into a high-end product, taste is only one aspect, and this aspect is not irreplaceable.
The most important thing is "product culture".
Just like those modern luxury brands, as accessories, clothing, etc., they only have their most basic functions, and purely in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness, these luxury brands are not even as durable as those affordable accessories and clothing.
But the reason why a luxury brand is a luxury brand is more importantly its "design sense". To put it bluntly, it is the "concept" and the scarcity of the material itself.
Although Su Qingluan did not pay much attention to the scarcity of the material itself, food raw materials such as "regional specialty wild berries" are themselves "non-mainstream ingredients" and have a certain degree of "scarcity."
The various packaging "blind boxes" that Su Qingluan painstakingly designed each time have become one of the main reasons why "Su Ji" is so popular. Even as Su Qingluan originally expected, some people really do it for "blind boxes". Buy the jam "box" itself.
The charm of blind boxes is indeed timeless.
