Chapter 224 What to Eat in Winter
Sang Yu followed Chen Huirou away, and the whole family was a little worried. No one knew if they would cause any trouble.
So when she came back, the whole family rushed over to check if she was injured.
"...I went to help save people, not to fight." Sang Yu felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he gritted his teeth to utter a word.
Sang Yongjing instructed Xie Qiujin to check more carefully while saying, "Neither Shen Wenfu nor Wang Shun are good people. Who knows if you will suffer any harm if you go there? We need to check carefully. Madam, check if there are any injuries on the legs."
Knowing that his family was worried about him, Sang Yu could only play it off and stand there, allowing Xie Qiujin to check him carefully. He was only allowed to be free after she confirmed that there were no injuries on his body.
Sang Xingjia noticed the blood on her cuffs and frowned slightly: "Little sister, did you go to help with the delivery?"
"Yeah, I helped out by the way. Mother and child are safe." Sang Yu responded casually and began to prepare a low concentration of allicin to be sent over later.
Sang Xingjia didn't intend to let her get away with it so easily. He followed her and asked, "Little sister, what exactly do you want to do?"
Having spent quite some time with her, Sang Xingjia had a good grasp of her temperament. While it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say "nothing for nothing," Sang Yu was definitely not the type to proactively court trouble.
She was persuaded so easily today and rescued Shen Wenfu's daughter, it was hard for him not to be suspicious.
Sang Yu looked at her eldest brother in surprise. She didn't expect that he was the most sober person in the family besides herself.
Since he had guessed it, she didn't hide it: "Brother, if I say I don't want to do anything, you won't believe it, but I really don't want to do anything right now."
This was a bit awkward, but Sang Xingjia quickly understood it. His brows furrowed even deeper. "So what do you want to do in the future?"
"Of course, we'll only know what happens in the future later. Big brother, please move aside so I can pound garlic." Sang Yu started to play dumb and refused to answer any questions Sang Xingjia asked.
There was really no way to ask her, and Sang Xingjia knew that she didn't want to say it, so he stopped asking, sighed, and got up to find Xie Qiujin.
He had already written a letter of withdrawal from engagement and wanted to show it to his parents, but as soon as he came out, he heard Sang Yu leaving with the Shen family. He was so anxious that he forgot about the important matter.
"Dad, Mom, please take a look."
He handed the letter of divorce to Sang Yongjing and Xie Qiujin.
Sang Yongjing took a quick glance and saw that the words were sincere and he lowered his own attitude so as not to damage the harmony between the two families, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Xie Qiujin was different from him. She read it carefully from top to bottom, word by word.
After reading it, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked Sang Xingjia to revise a few inappropriate phrases with his own wording. Finally, he read it through again and nodded slightly to indicate that he approved it.
Putting the revised letter of divorce aside, she went into the house and rummaged around, then took out a jade pendant that had been hidden in a secret place.
The jade pendant is carved from a piece of lustrous green jade. One side is carved with a giant eagle, and the other side is engraved with two words - crown feathers.
Gently stroking the word "Guan Yu", Xie Qiujin sighed.
"Alas, I've kept this jade pendant close to me all the way from the capital to Lingnan. I originally wanted to wait until Yu'er came of age and let her make her own decision, but I didn't expect..."
When Sang Yu heard her name, she stopped pounding garlic and looked over curiously, but did not interrupt.
"Oh, ma'am, you're just overthinking it. What's the difference between Yu'er making decisions when she's an adult and making decisions now?"
"Besides, our family has fallen into such a state now, and they probably won't look down on us. If we don't cancel the engagement and take back the token now, we might end up receiving a letter of cancellation from them later."
Sang Yongjing saw her hesitation and was afraid that she would suddenly change her mind, so he hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"That does make some sense. It would be better to write a letter." Xie Qiujin thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
The current status of the two parties is very different. If they keep the token, the Mu family might think that they are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with them.
They would first write a letter and send it over. If the other party really wanted to continue this child marriage, they would naturally not agree. If the other party agreed, it would also avoid any trouble in the future.
A letter of broken engagement and a jade pendant were stuffed into an envelope, waiting to be handed over to the caravan in the city tomorrow.
This place is quite a distance away from the southwest border. It will probably take a month or two to send the letter there and then have the reply letter delivered back.
Sang Yu smacked his lips as he watched the jade pendant, which looked quite expensive, being stuffed into the envelope.
If she had known that there were such valuable things at home, why would she have tried every possible way to earn money and save up capital to start a business? It would have been better to just steal them and sell them.
But she was just thinking about it. Even if she had known that there was a valuable thing at home, she would not sell it easily unless she was completely penniless.
Who knows if that thing has some extraordinary meaning to the family. Things have a price, but feelings are priceless.
Wait, she suddenly thought of something.
If she remembered correctly, the two parties had exchanged tokens of love. Doesn't that mean that if the other party agreed to break off the engagement, she would receive the jade pendant that belonged to her?
No one should blame me for selling my own jade pendant...
In recent times, although Sang Yu no longer goes out to set up a stall, the money she has accumulated is increasing.
However, it is still a long way to go before I can save enough money to open a restaurant, and opening a hotel is even more of a fantasy. If I want to achieve my goal, I have to increase my source of income as much as possible.
She had also thought about making money by brewing wine. Purifying and increasing the concentration of existing wine would not be a difficult task for anyone who had attended high school in the future.
The problem is that there is a clear prohibition on private production of koji and wine. Only government-run wine businesses and licensed restaurants have the right to brew wine, and other small shops can only sell wine wholesale from restaurants.
Those who brew alcohol privately and those who buy it are guilty of the same crime. Once discovered, they will be severely punished with confiscation of property, exile and other penalties.
She dared to brew her own wine, but who would she sell it to?
As for selling the recipe to someone who owns the brewing rights? What's the right price for a recipe that consistently generates revenue? How do you know you won't oversell it?
I'm afraid that as soon as someone sees the recipe, they will turn around and kill you.
So the best way is to first earn money to open a restaurant, and then gradually expand the business to open a hotel.
After obtaining the brewing rights, they will improve the drinks and use high-purity liquor as the store's signature product to attract customers, gradually forming a virtuous circle.
But those are all stories from the past. Now Sang Yu can’t even afford to open a restaurant.
It seems that just one oden is not enough. How about she think of some other snacks suitable for winter?
