"Let Huang Erlan go and sell the chili seedlings. We still have seeds, so we can grow a new batch. Chili peppers can't be kept hidden for long."
Su Jiaoniang spoke.
Old Guo was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. After a long while, he asked, "Sell...sell it?"
You know, chili peppers are the soul of hot pot, now we're selling the seedlings.
In the future, many people will have chili peppers.
If there are too many chili peppers, it won't be unique anymore, and the profits will definitely decrease.
"Madam, how about we have a few more people guarding the field?" Old Guo suggested after thinking for a moment.
Su Jiaoniang shook her head.
Holding chili peppers in your hands won't help.
If you keep it covered up now, someone will steal it; and who knows, someone might rob it later!
The problem with wealth is not scarcity, but inequality.
It's better to make a profit now and sell it at a higher price!
Let others grab it. Hot pot is something that can attract people as long as the broth and seasonings are good.
Old Guo didn't understand Su Jiaoniang's thoughts.
I just think this person is too kind. Even if they sell it for a thousand or ten thousand taels of silver, it's a one-off deal. Once others start making hot pot, they won't have that much money to earn.
He sighed repeatedly, glancing at Su Jiaoniang every now and then.
Su Jiaoniang felt a chill run down her spine.
What are you doing?!
"Alright, in the future, when hot pot restaurants are lined up one after another, only our business will be the best. You will then understand what it means to have what others don't, and to be better than others!"
Su Jiaoniang patted Old Guo on the shoulder.
Watching Old Man Guo shake his head and walk out.
The Buddha statue in the courtyard glanced at Su Jiaoniang and said, "Go for it. If your hot pot shop closes down in the future, I'll take care of you."
"Thank you!" I wasn't very touched.
Why is no one optimistic about her hot pot restaurant?
Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on Futu. In that instant, she finally understood why Futu was a villain in the original story, rather than the protagonist—because his judgment was somewhat lacking.
"Mommy, I want to continue reading." Stop looking at him like he's an idiot.
Futu even felt that every time his mother looked at him like that, it was as if she could see right through him, as if she knew everything that had happened to him!
Su Jiaoniang stepped out of her house.
I inadvertently walked into Dr. Liu's courtyard.
Those who had fevers inside had their fevers subsided, and those who were injured got out of bed.
Unless they couldn't move their legs, everyone else continued with their usual training, running, stretching, and so on!
Even if you are injured, you cannot stop training.
Dr. Liu came out carrying a stick and gestured at several people who were obviously more seriously injured: "I've gone to great lengths to treat your injuries and provide medical care, only for you to seek death? Go back to your beds and don't get up until your injuries are healed."
"Grandpa Liu, we injured our shoulders, but we're exercising our thighs, waist, abdomen, and back," the quick-witted man said with a smile.
Dr. Liu's stick slammed down on the person even faster.
Of course, he didn't use much force.
What does it mean to exercise the area that is not injured?
Could these kids possibly control every muscle in their bodies? They're not Lu Wujiu; it would be strange if they could do that.
Seeing Su Jiaoniang walk in from outside, he handed her the stick in his hand: "I can't control these children anymore, you have to discipline them yourself."
Su Jiaoniang chuckled.
He looked at the people in the courtyard.
They were just like monkeys, and the small courtyard became their exercise area.
"Those who are physically unharmed, go back and intensify your training. Those who are injured, continue to lie down. Anyone who dares to waste resources will be expelled." Su Jiaoniang spoke, her voice not loud, but the lively boys in the courtyard immediately quieted down upon hearing it.
Those who were in good health walked outside.
They all knew the road to the county town.
He carried his big schoolbag on his back and a stick in his hand to save energy.
The remaining few people quietly returned to their hospital beds.
"Captain, if we lie here for a few days, everything we've learned will become rusty," someone said helplessly, lying on the bed feeling like they were being gnawed by ants.
Su Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Keep practicing even if they're rusty. One day your muscles will develop a response, and one day you'll be able to control every inch of your muscles. That will be the time for you to choose your future."
Only by reaching that point can one walk in the darkness.
To resolve matters related to poppies.
The person on the bed slowly closed their eyes upon hearing Su Jiaoniang's words.
Su Jiaoniang walked out of the room and saw Su Tong sitting outside. The light in the child's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.
Su Jiaoniang reached out and touched Su Tong's leg: "So concerned?"
"How could I not care?" Su Tong smiled self-deprecatingly.
Watching those people running and jumping on the ground, he was so envious that his eyes turned red.
“You have to figure some things out for yourself. Treating the sick and saving lives is a very admirable and respectable thing. Why do you want to be like them and fight drugs? Everyone has their strengths. You should develop your strengths and not let Dr. Liu down.”
Su Jiaoniang's tone grew increasingly heavy as she spoke.
She could tell that Doctor Liu cared about Su Tong.
They have already taken this child as their apprentice.
Previously, Dr. Liu had been staring at Su Tong's legs, hoping to have the opportunity to try and cure the child.
Now that Dr. Liu heard that Su Tong was going to be his guinea pig, he wanted nothing more than to smash the mush out of the child's brain with a hammer. What was he thinking?!
Love what you do.
This is a basic quality that a person should have.
Smart children have their own ideas. Even if they understand something when it's broken down and explained clearly, they won't follow that logic.
All we can rely on is time.
Su Jiaoniang spoke with Su Tong for a while before heading towards the county town.
She had recorded all the mistakes made by the people in the courtyard during the mission.
She had to rearrange the divisions according to the records above, so that these children could improve themselves.
Stepping into the courtyard, Su Jiaoniang busied herself once again.
In the fields of Tianshui Village.
Huang Erlan was stunned when he heard Old Guo's message. He picked up his hoe and walked towards Su Jiaoniang's courtyard, but Su Jiaoniang was no longer there.
He stared intently at the pagoda where people were reading.
"Young master, has Madam really decided to sell the chili seedlings?"
"Sell them! Remember to raise the price a bit. The villagers aren't offering high prices. You can spread the word to the county town. These next two days, you'll have to work hard. Once they're sold, we'll replant the seedlings."
Fu Tu spoke and repeated Su Jiao Niang's instructions to Old Man Guo.
Huang Erlan nodded.
Since Madam Su has really decided to sell chili peppers, he won't stop her.
He asked his second uncle to drive an oxcart around the nearby villages and explain that he was selling his chili seedlings at a high price. Old Huang happily agreed.
Soon, well-informed people in Lucheng knew that Tianshui Village was going to sell chili seedlings.
Those with ideas clench their fists.
Waiting to snatch up a batch!
