Chapter 62 Aunt Lan is right



Upon hearing his coworker's question, the man laughed heartily.

"You don't know, ever since I ate that young lady's tofu pudding and white rice, I've really had more energy to work. It's strange, but yesterday I earned more than ten coins than before!"

The people around him chimed in, saying that although eating more meant spending more money, it also meant more strength to carry the heavy loads. Their steps were more vigorous, and they could carry one or two more bags at a time, naturally resulting in higher income.

"Then you guys should come and eat here more often in the future. The more you eat, the more money you can make!" Su Yun'er greeted everyone with a smile.

"Of course! The young lady's cooking is excellent, and the price is reasonable. Nobody wants to eat those hard, rock-hard, stinky pancakes every day. Besides, this bowl of hot tofu pudding makes my stomach feel better. It's definitely worth the money!"

The diners' approval is Su Yun'er's motivation.

These customers would also praise Su Yun'er's tofu pudding to their fellow workers, and as a result, more and more people came to eat tofu pudding every day.

Early that morning, the small stone mill in the space was diligently grinding soybeans to make soy milk, and Su Yun'er used this time to tend to the vegetable garden.

"This system is really unreliable. It's been so many days, and they still haven't fixed the vegetable-stealing function?"

As Su Yun'er was complaining, a familiar ding-dong sound rang in her ears.

Ding-dong—Sorry to keep you waiting. The "steal crops" function has been repaired and will be reopened in one hour. The success rate of stealing crops will be increased after it reopens, so try it out as soon as possible for unexpected surprises!

Ding-dong—The "steal vegetables" feature is back online! You'll receive 1000 points as compensation. Come check it out!

Su Yun'er received the points.

Ding-dong—You've accumulated 5,000 points, and received a bonus new seed: Cabbage Seed.

Cabbage is a vegetable that is easy to grow and store. In her previous life, Su Yun'er bought a cabbage and put it on the balcony. When she returned from a business trip a month later, most of the other vegetables had spoiled, but the cabbage was still perfectly fine.

Moreover, there are many ways to eat cabbage.

Hand-torn cabbage, dry-fried cabbage, can also be used to make fried rice and noodles, as well as Chinese-style cold cabbage salad and Western-style vegetable salad.

Cold shredded cabbage salad?

Su Yun'er remembered that in her previous life, breakfast shops usually offered several free side dishes, among which the most popular was cold shredded cabbage salad, which was excellent with steamed buns or porridge.

This side dish is definitely worth making.

Compared to Chinese cabbage, cabbage has less water content, so it won't release too much water after being made into a cold dish. The amount of water lost before and after making the cold dish will be less, so if it's a free side dish, then shredded cabbage salad would be more suitable.

Su Yun'er planned to add this side dish today, so she immediately cleared a plot of land, planted the cabbage, and then used points to exchange for ripening time. Soon she harvested more than a dozen large cabbages.

The cabbages produced in the space are huge. When Su Yun'er holds a cabbage, it's like holding a basketball. This one cabbage is enough for two or three days.

The cabbage normally needs to have its outermost withered and damaged leaves removed, but the cabbage in this space is so healthy and clean that it doesn't even need to be washed; it can be shredded directly.

The shreds shouldn't be cut too finely, otherwise they'll shrink and leave very little after being used in a cold salad.

Add minced garlic, salt, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce to the chopped cabbage, then mix well.

Tofu pudding, rice, side dishes, plus bowls and chopsticks, and all sorts of other items—there were far more items than on the first day the stall opened.

It seems like it's time to find a vehicle to transport these.

After considering whether to rent Song Muqiang's car or someone else's, Su Yun'er finally decided to have one custom-made. Although there were many of these things, the weight was not too heavy. With a car frame, even if she didn't buy any livestock for the time being, she should be able to pull it herself.

Having made up her mind, Su Yun'er found a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, and drew the shape of the car she wanted, marking the size of each part. There was a carpenter in the village, so Su Yun'er took the completed drawing and went directly to find him.

After reviewing the blueprints, the carpenter remarked that Su Yun'er's drawings were simple and vivid, and that the car was not difficult to make and could be completed in a day or two.

As Su Yun'er came out of the carpenter's house, she saw Aunt Lan and a woman walking towards her from the opposite direction.

Aunt Lan was talking to the woman, her face full of righteous indignation.

But as soon as Aunt Lan saw Su Yun'er, she curled her lip, making no attempt to hide her contempt for Su Yun'er.

Last time Su Yun'er killed a wild boar and distributed the pork to the whole village, Aunt Lan didn't go herself. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat pork, but rather that she resented Su Yun'er's good luck not coming her way.

For several days, the houses of Aunt Lan's neighbors smelled of meat. Aunt Lan couldn't eat meat, so she cursed and yelled at the sky every day.

Su Yun'er was preoccupied with the business at the dock, and since it was already later than usual, she simply wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anyone and walk away.

But Aunt Lan suddenly raised her voice and said to the woman, "Oh, Guangcai's wife, you have to keep a close eye on your man and keep him away from those shady women in the village. Some women lose their men and then go out and seduce other men every day."

These words were clearly a veiled attack on Su Yun'er.

The woman next to Guangcai is from Guangcai's family; Guangcai is the carpenter.

"Chunfang, don't say that." Guangcai's face was full of embarrassment, and she tugged at Lan Chunfang's sleeve.

"What are you afraid of? That little bitch dares to do it, why would she be afraid of what people say?" Lan Chunfang glared at Guangcai's daughter.

As Lan Chunfang was speaking, she noticed Guangcai's wife winking at her, implying that Su Yun'er was right next to her.

"Look at you, so pathetic. I'm not afraid of her at all." After saying that, Lan Chunfang put on a smug expression, turned around and looked at Su Yun'er, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything to you."

His provocative manner clearly indicated that he wanted to make Su Yun'er unhappy.

"No, Aunt Lan, don't be nervous. I'm fine. I just heard what Aunt Lan said to Sister Guangcai, and I think it makes a lot of sense." Su Yun'er nodded very seriously.

Lan Chunfang, who originally wanted to pick a fight, was completely taken aback by Su Yun'er's reaction and was stunned for a moment.

Su Yun'er smiled gracefully and said to Guangcai's wife, "Sister-in-law Guangcai, you must listen to Aunt Lan. Some people have men on the surface, but they don't actually have men. These kinds of people are unhappy themselves, so they don't want others to be happy either. They like to stir up trouble between couples. Don't you think so, Aunt Lan?"

"Huh?" Lan Chunfang hadn't quite caught on yet, but subconsciously felt that something was off about what Su Yun'er said.

“Sister-in-law Guangcai, everyone in our village knows how good Brother Guangcai is to you. If you're deceived by that twisted scoundrel and quarrel with Brother Guangcai, then you've fallen into his trap. Right, Aunt Lan?”

"ah?"
