Zhou Yuzhu didn't know. "Maybe. My aunt said it was bought by my third cousin's wife, but she didn't say how much it cost."
Qiu Huiling had a plan in mind. It seemed that the Mo family was not as poor as they appeared. Her daughter-in-law could freely spend money on whatever she wanted to buy, and even the items were not cheap!
Su Nanxi made grass jelly as an afternoon tea for the artisans, who loved it and could finish any amount she made. So she usually prepared extra, and as a result, she kept ordering more and more at once, which added up to quite a bit too much.
It wasn't worth much money, and Su Nanxi didn't care. He tried his best to meet the craftsmen's needs, and if they made too much, he would let them pack it up and take it back.
That's why the craftsmen were so happy to come to the Mo family to build houses every day. They had something to look forward to every day, and they got to eat and take home something. It was a first for them in their craftsmen's careers.
There was another reason that Su Nanxi was unaware of: some of the craftsmen had eaten the herbal jelly from the town's refreshing dessert shop and knew that it wasn't cheap. The fact that the Mo family was willing to let them eat it meant they were getting a great deal.
But I definitely won't tell the Mo family, because I'm afraid if I did, there might not be any food left.
When the sun began to set a little in the afternoon, the craftsmen got busy again, full of energy and looking forward to the Mo family bringing tea.
It's supposed to be tea, but there's no tea at all. It's even a little sweet, and most importantly, it's chilled!
Oh my! It tastes so good!
They didn't know where the Mo family kept it chilled; they guessed it was in the family's deep well, just like everyone else's.
The two brothers, Mo Laoda and Mo Laoer, had done it many times and were already very skilled at it. They didn't need many people to help them; the two brothers could handle it on their own.
Anyway, the three sisters-in-law had already prepared the sweet soup. They just added some honey to the boiled and cooled water.
It just requires a little movement; you just keep cutting with a knife.
It's such a simple thing!
The two brothers quickly finished and went out.
As usual, the three members of the Wang family were called to sit down by Old Lady Mo and have a bowl of refreshing tea before going back.
The three of them didn't hesitate, sat down, picked up their bowls and spoons, and started eating.
They figured it must be sweet and delicious because of the honey in it, since not everyone gets to drink honey!
Sure enough, this stuff tastes amazing! The water is sweet and cool, and the dark stuff inside is smooth and bouncy. Drinking this on such a hot summer day instantly refreshes you and makes you feel incredibly comfortable!
Qiu Huiling's heart was in turmoil again. She was right. The Mo family was probably not as poor as they seemed on the surface. They must have saved a lot of money in private!
Look at these things, they're not something an ordinary person could think of or make, and they're even willing to feed the artisans!
She had a vague feeling that the Mo family would soon surprise everyone, in a very sudden way, making people envious and jealous.
Su Nanxi watched Qiu Huiling's changing expressions with a cold eye and couldn't help but think to herself, "Is this girl stupid? She wants to compare everything she sees. Isn't she just asking for trouble?"
Su Nanxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. She looked at this girl who had been saved by the Mo family once by chance and thought she was a person with a story. Her gentle and proper temperament was something that farmers could not learn.
As long as you don't provoke her, she's too lazy to care about other people's business.
Mind your own business, it's never tiring!
She wanted to focus on her own business and didn't want to be distracted too much.
There were no more grass jelly herbs left, so they didn't pack them up for the three Wangs to take back; they only sent some fruit.
Before leaving, Old Mrs. Mo held Wang's hand and said, "It's not that we don't want to teach you, it's just that we're really busy. If you're willing to wait, we can teach you when we have time in a month. I also want what's best for my family. If I find a way to make money next time, I'll definitely tell you."
Upon hearing this, Wang sighed, "I was too hasty. I didn't seize the opportunity back then, and now I suddenly want to learn again. It was also my oversight. I don't blame you. I'll see how things go. You don't need to blame yourself."
The two exchanged a few more words before seeing the person off.
The three members of the Wang family chatted on their way back.
Wang was relieved at this point, guessing that it was just not her destiny. When she was first told about it, she didn't believe for a second that it could be exchanged for money, so she didn't listen at all.
Zhou Yuzhu didn't have too many thoughts on it; she was already looking forward to visiting the Mo family again even before she got home.
My third cousin's wife was quite nice to her; she secretly slipped her some candy. The candy looked so good, you could tell it was delicious!
Third cousin's wife doesn't dislike or hate her, nor does she mind that she talks too much and doesn't understand anything. She quite likes this third cousin's wife. If only third cousin's wife could talk!
Qiu Huiling had an idea in her mind. She felt that the Mo family's sweet soup was a business opportunity that could make money!
If she could get the recipe, make it, and sell it for money, her and her mother's lives would be much better, and they wouldn't always be looked down upon.
Qiu Huiling glanced at Zhou Yuzhu, then quickly looked away, a confident smile spreading across her face a moment later.
"Aunt Zhou, are we still going to Changna Village tomorrow? The Mo family won't teach us, so should we try going to a villager's house instead?"
Zhou Yuzhu looked at her mother with great joy, hoping to hear the answer she wanted to hear.
Wang thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go. We're outsiders. If we go to learn other people's skills, they might not be willing to let us learn. What if we only learn half of it and end up in the middle? That would be too much trouble!"
Zhou Yuzhu was a little disappointed, she knew this would happen, but she quickly felt relieved.
A complex look flashed in Qiu Huiling's eyes.
The Mo family members were busy with their own things, reclaiming wasteland to plant corn and sweet potato vines, and also watering, fertilizing, and weeding.
When other villagers saw that the village chief had planted them, they wanted to follow suit. Upon learning that the Mo family had started planting them first, they all rushed to the Mo family to ask if they had any seedlings. Soon after, even villagers from neighboring villages started planting them.
These people don't actually know what they're growing; they just see others growing it and want to grow it too. They want what others have!
So, gradually, many corn and sweet potato vines were planted nearby.
Growing things is a very common thing in farming, so no one pays attention to these things.
With the waterwheel in Changna Village, irrigation is no longer a major concern, and everyone can focus on cultivating the land with peace of mind.
Speaking of the waterwheel, everyone is still discussing who made it, but no one has gotten a definite answer yet. However, for some reason, there has been a new trend in the past two days, with both overt and covert indications pointing to the same person.
Su Nanxi heard this too and couldn't help but laugh.
Is Chen Qiuxia just desperately seeking treatment?
Or does she want to reverse the current situation that is very unfavorable to her?
And we're not afraid that things will get out of hand in the end!
Mo Yunmei was also surprised when she heard this, and immediately pointed out, "How did it become Sister Qiuxia's waterwheel? Didn't she always tell me to investigate who made the waterwheel?"
Su Nanxi wanted to burst out laughing; this was just too hilarious!
After hearing Mo Yunmei's words, Old Lady Mo looked up at the sky speechlessly.
"When you were born, they probably forgot to bring your brain with them."
