The First Emperor was very pleased with the spirit gathering array and improved crops, but we will not discuss this for now.
As for Yu Bai, after sending Fusu away and solving the urgent problem on the Qin side, she felt relieved.
The burden of the survival of an entire civilization, even if only indirectly, made her feel a little breathless.
Now that Fusu has left with the crystal core and hope, Yu Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the tension he had been feeling for the past few days has eased a lot.
When I left the space, it was still early.
Yu Bai and his mother Zhou Fengxia prepared to go up the mountain to check out the situation and discuss raising chickens.
Along the way, they met many early-rising villagers. When they saw the mother and daughter, they all greeted them enthusiastically.
"Xiaobai, Fengxia, are you going up the mountain?" an old lady carrying a basket asked with a smile.
"Hey, good morning, Aunt Wang! Yes, let's go to the fields and take a look." Zhou Fengxia responded with a smile.
The more enthusiastic ones took out the freshly picked peaches, apricots and plums from their own baskets, which were red, yellow and covered with morning dew, and insisted on stuffing them into the hands of the mother and daughter.
"Yu girl, try the plums my aunt picked recently. They're so sweet!"
"Little girl, these are the first peaches from my tree. They'll quench your and your mother's thirst on the journey!"
Faced with this sincere kindness, Yu Bai smiled and declined one by one: "No, no, aunts and sisters, we are working in the mountains and can't carry anything in our hands. Thank you for your kindness!"
She had just the right smile on her face, neither seeming distant nor overly approachable.
Yu Bai said this, but in fact she didn't want to accept it.
It’s not that I dislike these fruits and vegetables, but I’m afraid that if I set this precedent, troubles will follow.
Speaking of which, after the supermarket at home opened, Yu Nian and Yu Bai discussed the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables and decided not to purchase them from the entire village.
After all, her supermarket is not big and the daily food needs are limited.
Therefore, Yu Nian stepped forward and specially selected several farmers in the village whose family conditions were relatively difficult, but who had good character and grew really good vegetables, and signed long-term supply agreements with them.
The dishes from these restaurants are rotated and are more than enough.
Only when there is a need to exchange large quantities of materials with Han Yi in the end times or Daqin, Yu Bai will ask his eldest brother Yunian or fourth brother Yu Feng to collect a large number of materials in the village. That quantity is considered considerable.
As a result, other people are naturally jealous.
After all, although Yu Baijia Supermarket only settles its bill once a week, it is a daily income that can be seen, a steady stream of income that makes people feel more secure and stable than an occasional large purchase.
Therefore, whenever they met Yu Bai on the road, those families who were not selected but were eager to squeeze into the supply list would always be extra attentive and try to get close to him by giving him some small things made from their own products.
But there are more than one such families.
I harvested the cucumbers from Zhang San’s family today, so can I not harvest the eggplants from Li Si’s family tomorrow?
Are Wang Wu’s beans just going to watch?
People are all made of flesh and blood, and are the most difficult to balance.
If you accept this company but not that one, who knows how much gossip will arise behind the scenes. Haven't you heard enough of such sour words as "you choose the right dish for the right person" and "you look down on your poor relatives after you become rich"?
She was well aware of human nature, so she simply refused to accept any of them and treated them all equally to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. She can't afford this small favor, nor does she want to.
What she wants to do is to let everyone make a living based on their ability and reputation, rather than relying on piecemeal favors.
Zhou Fengxia obviously understood her daughter's concerns and just smiled and said:
"Yes, yes, you can keep it for yourselves or sell it at the market for money. It's really inconvenient for us to carry it up the mountain."
The mother and daughter kept walking and soon left those enthusiastic villagers behind and headed towards the back mountain.
