Chapter 147 The Reason

"Huh? Great, Shen Yi! You're becoming more and more slippery! In this way, we can also find the source of the brown sugar used in our pot cakes. I don't care if you can be thoughtful, but you can only sell 2,000 kilograms at most, and we have to keep the rest for our own business." Su Tai reminded.

Shen Yi nodded in agreement.

When he drove his donkey cart to Moshi Town, he successfully met Ma Xingteng in a teahouse.

As soon as Ma Xingteng entered the door, he apologized to Shen Yi, “Brother Shen, I’m so sorry for making you suffer!”

As soon as Shi Liu came back from the county town, he told them the situation in detail. His wife had originally hoped that Shi Liu would have a good relationship with Cui Lan, hoping that she might be able to use Cui Lan in the future. However, she did not expect that not only did Cui Lan fail to gain the status of a mother with a son, she also lost the child and broke up with Su Chuan's family.

From now on, he shouldn't mention the fact that Shi Liu and Cui Lan were good sisters in order to get closer to them.

What made him even more embarrassed was that Shen Yi's connection with the Bai family was also severed. If the Bai family came to him again with the Guokui issue, he would be helpless. It was also very likely that his own business would be cut off, which would not be worth the loss.

As soon as he entered the door, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Chen Yi waved his hands, nonchalantly, "Mr. Ma, there's no need to be like this. The Bai family is the Bai family, and you are you. This time I came to see their style of doing things. I'm sorry!

This time I came to you just to ask you one thing. I use brown sugar as the filling in our Guokui. I think Mr. Ma knows it. "

"I know, I know! That day, my eldest uncle took a bite of sweet Guokui and kept asking me about it. How could I know? I didn't know anything! He didn't give up and asked me to give him the cook. I still couldn't give it to him, so he left in a rage." Ma Xingteng spread his hands helplessly.

Shen Yi suddenly realized, "So Master Bai really doesn't like my Guokui. I guess he is eyeing the brown sugar inside the Guokui."

"Brown sugar? Even though this thing is expensive, it's not something that can't be bought. Why is he staring at it?" Ma Xingteng was confused for a moment.

Shen Yi reminded, "I heard that he got a batch of brown sugar from the Zhu family and plans to sell it at the end of the year. He probably came to Moshi Town for this. The Ma family is a wealthy family in Moshi Town after all. He thinks you should know everything, but you can't answer any questions. In his opinion, you are deliberately hiding something. It is very likely that you are also engaged in the brown sugar business. How can he be happy?"

Ma Xingteng's eyes suddenly widened. "It's unfair! This is such a huge injustice! How can I be so capable of doing brown sugar business? But then again, it's really extravagant of you to put brown sugar in the pot cake!"

Chen Yi sighed helplessly, "I can't help it. I put maltose in it earlier. Tell me, which one is more fragrant?"

"That's nonsense! It has to be brown sugar!" Ma Xingteng said as if it was a matter of course.

Chen Yi smiled, "That's it! You also think that adding brown sugar makes it more fragrant. I'm doing a long-term business, so I have to use the best-tasting brown sugar, right? But the price of brown sugar is there. If there is a cheaper price, I will definitely choose the cheaper one. That's why I came to you after hearing some news."

Ma Xingteng finally understood, but he shook his head regretfully, "My eldest uncle is arrogant and doesn't think highly of me. He never said a word to me. If I hadn't talked to you today, I wouldn't have known about this. Besides, that man doesn't do anything without profit. It's absolutely impossible for you to buy cheap brown sugar from him. Don't dream!"

"Then which store in our town sells brown sugar?" Shen Yi asked about the purpose of today.

Ma Xingteng was not on guard and immediately named a few.

Shen Yi remembered them one by one.

After separating from Ma Xingteng, he fled to Dahe Town and Makou Town and Dayao Town, which were some distance away from Shenjiazhuang.

Su Tai saw him running around outside every day and didn't ask any questions. She just made some delicious food for him every day to nourish his body.

Whenever she had time, she would go to the Gate of Time and Space. Now that she had harvested a new crop of water chestnuts, she had a surplus of virtual currency, and she even spent money to upgrade the Water Space-Time.

The current water space-time is at level four, and it requires 10,000 virtual coins to upgrade to level five.

This little money was nothing to her, but she was not sure what the upgraded water space-time would become.

After much struggle, she finally gritted her teeth and chose to upgrade the water space-time.

After making her choice, she watched as the virtual currency visibly decreased by 10,000, and she immediately turned around and rushed towards the water space-time gate.

When I opened the door, what came into view was a lake that was twice as big. The surface of the lake was sparkling, and occasionally fish jumped out of the water. There were also the sounds of many small insects around.

There is a natural pier on the lake, and the media tools she had placed by the lake are still there. The whole lake seems to have changed and yet it seems to have remained the same.

Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed.

I went back to the transfer station and checked to find out what happened after the upgrade.

When the water space-time was upgraded to level five, not only did the area of ​​the lake become larger, but the number of aquatic creatures inside also increased. For example, the crabs that she had never been able to catch before appeared, and there were quite a few of them.

In addition to crabs, there are also cute little creatures like crayfish, turtles, soft-shelled turtles, loaches, and eels.

What surprised her even more was that there were sea bass, black carp and other fish in the lake that she had been looking forward to. Her boiled fish and sauerkraut fish were right in front of her!

The catching rules remain the same, one fish for one virtual currency.

However, if you want to fill the entire lake, it will cost 100,000 virtual coins at a time, which is shockingly expensive.

She couldn't help but be thankful that the drought was over, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to afford it.

After reading the usage rules, the next step is to upgrade the specifications.

It takes 200,000 virtual coins to go from level 5 to level 6.

Su Tai's eyes widened in shock and she rubbed them vigorously several times. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she screamed on the spot, "Why is the price this high? The increase is too outrageous! You can't raise the price just because I have money now!"

She was answered with silence.

Su Tai pouted depressedly, turned her grief and anger into motivation, and cast several fishing nets in the water before she could get out.

I thought the child would be crying since she had been in for so long, but unexpectedly the little guy was still sleeping soundly. The only sound in the quiet yard was the rustling sound of snow falling outside, which really helped me sleep.

Su Tai lay down beside the child and soon fell asleep too.

When she woke up again, the child was crying because he was hungry.

After she changed the baby's diaper, fed him and coaxed him to sleep, she went into the water again to check on the harvest.

Before, she only caught a few fish with one net, which was an average harvest. But this time, it was like a fish nest. There were several big fish in the net, including the sea bass, grass carp and black carp that she wanted.

She quickly transferred her harvest to the water tank in the kitchen.

I couldn't stop drooling while staring at those fishes.

I might as well go to Mu Shikong and buy all the spices and side dishes such as chili peppers and peppercorns for boiled fish.

With a flick of the knife, he slaughtered a big black fish.

However, she did not have the skills to fillet fish, so she could only go to the transfer station to buy a medium fish filleting tool.

After working hard for most of the day, her boiled fish was finally ready.

Shen Yi also arrived home.
