Chapter 424: What to do when a cornered dog jumps over the wall
Mrs. Qin was very embarrassed. She didn't expect the girl to be so direct. After a moment's hesitation, she said directly, "They say you are the breadwinner of the Northland and you can't offend me."
Su Nuan quickly waved her hands upon hearing this, "No, no, no, everyone earns their living through hard work. This is not just my achievement."
"And as long as they don't cause trouble, I will treat them with courtesy. For example, those who left the Qin family, although they are ruthless and ungrateful to the Qin family, as long as they don't violate the rules, I will not deduct their labor income."
Mrs. Qin nodded, but her fear did not diminish, and she seemed not to tell the real reason.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Su Nuan did not ask any further questions. She said, "Let's talk about it later. I don't eat people anyway. They will know one day."
Su Nuan had no intention of staying to eat with them, so she said, "Then you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go check on the others."
After leaving the Chrysanthemum Garden, the Space Spirit said, "The fish is ready. Can we eat it?"
Su Nuan nodded, "You eat one, leave one for Hai Lan, and I'll take the rest."
The space spirit immediately agreed, "Okay, Hailan can only eat a few bites, and the rest will be mine."
Su Nuan returned to her residence carrying the food box that Space Spirit had packed for her, and a fragrant aroma came from the dining room.
Tuan Tuan and Dudu sat on the steps at the door, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
Tuan Tuan immediately stood up and rushed over to Su Nuan when he saw her, "Sister-in-law."
Dudu just shook his ears as a greeting.
Tuan Tuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of people here this time, and I also saw a lot of children. Will there be a lot of children playing with me in the future?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, but you all have to go to school, so you can play after studying."
"By the way, you can also collect grass for pigs and firewood to exchange for new currency and save some pocket money."
Tuan Tuan thought about it seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, I have an idea."
After arriving in the north, Tuantuan became much more cheerful and talkative.
Su Nuan nodded, "Tell me about it."
Tuan Tuan said seriously, "We can put up a notice board. If Jin Tai is short of pig grass, we can increase the exchange rate for pig grass."
"If there is a shortage of firewood, you can raise the exchange rate for firewood."
Su Nuan touched his chin and asked, "What if someone hoards all the firewood and sells it when the price is high?"
Tuan Tuan chuckled, "Even if we have to stockpile wood, we won't give up chopping wood, because there's a lot of stuff needed for the city's construction."
Su Nuan thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. She could just buy whatever was needed, even if someone was hoarding goods. This would solve the problem of the accumulation of unwanted items in the short term.
It is equivalent to distributed storage, which is much safer than centralized storage.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. I'll give you fish as a reward."
Tuantuan's eyes lit up, "What fish?"
Su Nuan replied: "Crucian carp."
Tuan Tuan's excited eyes instantly turned to disdain. "Oh, crucian carp has too many bones, so we can only drink the soup. Mom has already prepared it, and we can eat right away."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, so you only drink the soup and don't eat the fish?"
Tuan Tuan was a clever kid. He reacted immediately and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, I won't fall into your trap. I can drink and eat at the same time."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Okay, okay."
She suspected that she had given Tuantuan too much nourishment. Tuantuan in her previous life was not so smart, but rather a bit dull.
The Space Spirit said, "As expected, a child's intelligence is a combination of innate and acquired environment."
Su Nuan pulled Tuan Tuan towards the dining room. She asked herself, "What is the acquired environment? What is its purpose?"
The Space Spirit smiled and said, "Take personality for example. Although children are born with their own personalities, they can also be enhanced or modified through the environment they grow in."
"Just like a child who is introverted but lives in an environment with lively and cheerful people, the child will also become lively and cheerful."
Su Nuan nodded secretly. It made sense. Children are all innocent. This is what is meant by "birds of a feather flock together."
When they entered the dining room, Xue had just put down a pile of bowls and looked unhappy.
Su Nuan asked, "Mom, why are you unhappy?"
Xue came back to her senses and smiled softly, "It's okay. I've already sent food to Cang'er and the others."
Su Nuan knew what was going on after a little thought. There were a lot of people in the north recently, and Ling Cang and the others were too busy to come back for dinner.
However, Xue would prepare the food and have it delivered, so there was no need to worry about Ling Cang and the others going hungry.
Xue hesitated for a moment and said, "Nuannuan, is there any way to avoid being conspicuous?"
Su Nuan didn't react for a moment, "What?"
Show off? I don’t show off!
Mrs. Xue pointed at the crucian carp and mutton bone soup on the table and said, "Look, the food we eat is so fragrant that others will definitely be tempted by it."
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "We eat our own food and don't steal it. Should we be blamed if others are greedy?"
Xue smiled and said, "I can tell you've never interacted with the neighbors. Although the general's mansion isn't wealthy, it does have a farm."
"When I went to the farm before, I saw how farmers interacted with each other. The smell of a neighbor's cooking made a child cry. The mother couldn't comfort the child, so she hugged the child and cursed him through the wall."
"It was originally a small matter, but over time, the family with the child couldn't stand hearing the child crying during meals, so they ended up killing their neighbor."
Su Nuan nodded. There was no shortage of barefoot people in the north right now. The barefoot people were not afraid of those who wore shoes. But what if some people became desperate and did something desperate?
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then make some corn cakes, cook the meat, chop it up, and stuff it inside the cakes."
“Although there is a slight taste when you eat it, it’s not that strong.”
The only food now is cornmeal, and everyone eats that, so no one cares if they see it.
The main reason is that corn flour is not easy to use to make dumplings. When it gets cold, it loses its toughness and the filling will come out.
Xue nodded, "Alright, although Cang'er is the city lord in the north, no one knows how many people are convinced of his loyalty. What if someone is secretly trying to reap the benefits?"
Su Nuan nodded. This was possible, but the city had not been built yet and the food had not been stored, so it would be a headache for those people to take it away.
Therefore, those who are interested will definitely rob the city when it is built and the granary is full.
Mrs. Xue didn't want Su Nuan to worry about it, so she smiled and said, "Forget it, let them think about it, let's eat."
Su Nuan nodded. Now that she had thought of something, she had to take precautions seriously, otherwise it would become a disaster one day.
The old lady came in, holding a wooden basin covered with cotton cloth.
She smiled and said, "Come on, let's eat and ignore those brats."
The four of them sat down, and on the table there was shredded roasted lamb, crucian carp and lamb bone soup, and pickled wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables are tender fern. After pickling, boil them in water and then add sesame oil and chili oil and mix well. The crispy, tender and slightly slippery taste is very good.
The old lady lifted the cotton cloth and found two pieces of steamed bread made of corn and white flour in the basin.
Su Nuan opened the food box and took out the crispy fish. "I made this. Try it."
