With Jiang Tangtang's guarantee and the fact that the villagers were doing hard work, Su didn't skimp on the rice and made rice balls with cassava.
Whether the construction of this cableway was to benefit the entire village or was a divine instruction, even if the Lu family didn't prepare food, the villagers would still have objections.
However, the Su family paid for all the rice and grains themselves and prepared so much food, which made the villagers feel unworthy of it.
They are able to live a peaceful life in this valley, free from the ravages of war, all thanks to the Lu family.
Where is it so that the Lu family can keep coming to subsidize them?
The villagers all refused to accept the rice balls sent by the Lu family.
Jiang Tangtang said seriously, "The food is all ready. If everyone doesn't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste of my mother's good intentions?"
It's nothing for us to give more; as long as we can all unite and work together to build the valley, and everyone can have a peaceful home in the future, then our efforts today will not have been in vain.
Su also chimed in, persuading the villagers. Only after the two of them persuaded them did the villagers line up to receive the rice balls.
As they took the rice balls, villagers kept swearing that they would never forget the kindness of the Lu family.
"Don't worry, Director Gu, we're not heartless people. We know who's good to us. If I ever say a bad word about the Lu family, may I be struck by lightning."
“From now on, Gu Chang will be my sister, and Sanlang will be my brother. If anyone dares to treat my sister badly, I will fight them to the death. Aunt Lu will be my godmother, and I will treat you as my own mother from now on.”
...
Seeing that things were getting increasingly absurd, Jiang Tangtang quickly said, "Alright, we've all been through thick and thin together, how could I not trust you?"
The villagers echoed their agreement, and then everyone sat down to eat their rice balls.
To facilitate transportation, the Su family would steam the rice and cassava together, then shape them into a ball and wrap it in large leaves.
As soon as you tear the rice ball open, you can smell the rich aroma of rice. This is a rice ball made from real rice. It tastes much better than that wild vegetable porridge with countless wild vegetables added.
Many villagers held their rice balls, took several deep breaths with reverence, and then began to eat them.
After eating the rice balls, the villagers continued working.
They worked until dark before finally heading home to rest. Of course, Jiang Tangtang didn't ask her family to prepare dinner that night.
I asked Su to prepare lunch, partly because she had plenty of food in her spatial storage and didn't care about the cost.
Secondly, it's also to boost morale and get the cableway built as soon as possible. At the same time, she hopes everyone can be more united and cause less trouble, making it easier for her to earn points for her business.
However, such encouragement should only be given occasionally, not all the time, lest some people develop a habit of it.
The villagers had no objections to this, and some even sent homemade pickled vegetables to the Lu family.
In the past, salt had to be bought from shops, and it wasn't cheap. If a family in the village had too many vegetables, they would at most dry them to make dried vegetables; nobody would be willing to spend money on salt to make pickled vegetables!
But things are different now. Jiang Tangtang taught them about salt-making wood, and if they work hard, they can make their own salt.
Many villagers used the wild vegetables they picked to make pickled vegetables.
Don't underestimate this pickled cabbage; in the villagers' hearts, it's a precious thing.
Su accepted the pickled cabbage from everyone with a smile, but then gave the villagers other things as a return gift.
The Lu family is not as successful as Lu Shiyan, and Jiang Tangtang was enlightened by a deity and became a disciple of an immortal, so she was high and mighty, but still treated people and things the same as before.
This prompted many villagers to give the Lu family a thumbs up and praise them highly.
Of course, Jiang Tangtang received the most praise.
Now, everyone thinks Jiang Tangtang is wonderful no matter what. Even the villagers' previous opinion that Jiang Tangtang was too dramatic and often caused trouble for Lu Shiyan has now become a virtue.
When Guo Xuantong heard the villagers praising Jiang Tangtang, she curled her lip in disdain.
What a bunch of fools! They believe such a clumsy lie. No wonder they can only farm their whole lives.
While inwardly cursing the villagers for being stupid, Guo Xuantong couldn't help but feel anxious.
What's going on with that blind woman, Fang Peiru? It's been so long, why hasn't she made a move yet?
Jiang Tangtang was currently having a friendly conversation with the system about how to quickly earn back the points.
She cleared all her points to build the cableway, feeling it was a huge sacrifice.
Fortunately, the system said that once the cableway is built, there will be a large sum of business revenue to be earned.
And because her prestige among the villagers has been rising recently, it reached its maximum today, so she unexpectedly received something called prestige points.
[What can prestige points be used for?] Jiang Tangtang felt her head was spinning from this system.
There seem to be too many tricks up my sleeve.
[Then it has many more uses. Besides being similar to a business, it can expand your reach, and at a certain level, you can even open the online store you've always dreamed of.]
Upon hearing that an online store could be opened, Jiang Tangtang was immediately invigorated and quickly inquired about the requirements.
Upon hearing the score, he immediately gave up.
She couldn't be bothered to count how many zeros were at the end of that astronomical number.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care about prestige points and focused all her energy on building the cableway.
These days, she gets up early every day to go up the mountain with the villagers, and only comes down the mountain with them after dark.
After several days of hard work, the cableway on the mountain was finally completed. Lime could now be transported directly from the foot of the western mountain to the mouth of the valley via the cableway.
This left the villagers speechless.
"As expected of the Immortal Rope, it's much faster than human power."
"Indeed! I never imagined that I, Shi Tiezhu, would gain so much knowledge in my life."
...
The villagers praised the cable car, and naturally, they ended up praising Jiang Tangtang.
Hearing the villagers' praise, Guo Xuantong couldn't sit still any longer.
She found Fang Peiru again and said, "How can you be so spineless? You just let the person who harmed you live like a god, enjoying everyone's praise every day?"
"What can I do? I'm blind!" Fang Peiru wasn't entirely stupid. Although she did blame Jiang Tangtang in her heart, she also knew that Guo Xuantong had no good intentions.
"If you really hate her that much, then do it yourself. Why make things difficult for a blind man like me?"
Guo Xuantong bit her tongue. "What do I hate about her? You're blind, you're just talking nonsense."
“I may be blind, but I’m not blind in the heart,” Fang Peiru said.
Guo Xuantong stomped her foot. "I was just standing up for you. You deserve to be blinded by someone."
Fang Peiru clenched her fists, but finally said helplessly, "I'm blind, what can I do?"
"It is precisely because you are blind that she will not be on guard against you, making it easier for you to strike."
After Guo Xuantong finished speaking, seeing that she was still unmoved, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll help you out. Consider it a good deed."
