C4 Chop Pepper

"Alright, you can go. I'll wait for you here with little brother." Madam Wang was a little hesitant, "Our family depends on those few acres. If you want to plant anything, you better think it through."

The one that Chu Pann'er wanted to buy was the same, the sweet potato seed. Sweet potato starch can be used to make fish willows and as a spice, sweet potatoes can be made into other snacks, and good for the body. Most importantly, sweet potatoes can be grown in three or four seasons a year. They have a large yield that can be stored well and can be eaten in the winter.

After the three of them finished buying, they walked past a pork shop on their way back. Chu Pann'er saw that no one wanted the pig bones and water, so she bought it for two gold coins.

The Madam Wang was still a little disapproving, "Pann'er, pigs don't have meat, why are you selling it? Furthermore, pigs are so smelly, so why can't you eat it."

How could poor families know the nutritional value of pig bones? Even if they knew, they wouldn't buy it. For them, it was better to just eat a few mouthfuls of fat and have the strength to work. The taste of the pig's water was even harder to swallow and no one had eaten it before. Who would have thought that it would be so delicious?

Chu Pann'er didn't explain and placed the things into the basket, "Sister-in-law, I can make fish to be delicious, but can also make pigs in the water. "It's getting late. Milkman is still waiting for us at home. Let's go back."

Madam Wang opened her mouth, but in the end she did not say anything. This little girl was really different. No matter who it was, she would not stop talking. She would decide everything on her own, and the decision she made was also the right one. She had a premonition that Chu Pann'er might really be able to change this family.

Since he bought a lot of things, he hired a horse carriage to return home. As soon as he entered the village, he attracted the attention of the villagers.

"What kind of windfall is Chu Clan? Why are they buying so many things? It can't be that some girl is getting engaged."

"I've never heard of this before. I saw him buy pig bones too and they're not worth much. Who knows, he might have gone to pick up something that I don't want."

The Madam Wang was furious, she tugged at Chu Pann'er's sleeves: "Pann'er, I'll go tell them, we bought them all with money."

Chu Pann'er did not move, her expression did not change, and her tone was calm: "If they want to say, let them say it, we'll live our lives, no matter what they say."

Although his tone was calm, his voice could be heard by the surrounding villagers. The villagers looked at her with a different expression. This Chu Clan girl, was truly different.

When they almost reached the door, they saw Madam Chiang standing at the door, looking around. When she saw them return, he pretended to sweep the floor.

When Chu Ying'er heard the carriage, she quickly ran out the door. The Madam Tian followed closely behind, glancing at the things on the carriage, she asked anxiously: "Where did you get these things, how are you selling them today?"

Madam Wang was all smiles as she took out the rest of the money, "I sold it all. I sold it all in a short while, we bought all of these things. She handed the copper coin to Madam Chiang, "Mother, these are the remaining eight hundred gold coins. Please count them."

Sold out? Madam Chiang seemed to see hope. Taking the silver and feeling the weight of the silver, her tense face flashed with a smile. A rare praise: "Not bad."

Madam Wang called for Chu Jin'er and her nephew to move the things down. After the pig was taken down, she frowned, "Why are you spending money randomly?"

Madam Wang looked at Chu Pann'er and said hurriedly: "Mother, I bought it myself. My sisters are all grown, so they should eat some meat. "Even small remembrances need to heal the body."

When Chu Nian was mentioned, Madam Chiang's discontent disappeared.

After Chu Jin'er finished carrying the items, she went over to Chu Pann'er's side and said, "Aunt, when I went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables, I saw a lot of chilli peppers, so I brought them back. How did you make the fish yesterday? The fish was so delicious that she had dreamt about it last night.

However, Chu Pann'er was getting busier and busier, she could not do it everyday.

Chu Pann'er looked at the chili that she had picked up and nodded: "Not bad, there are too many chilies.

Chu Ying'er brought water over. "Big sister, I forgot, as long as there are more chilies, we can use them for salted vegetables. This time, we can buy salt at home.

A poor family couldn't bear to part with anything. Chili peppers were something that only existed in the summer and autumn. If you couldn't finish them, you would use salt to marinate them. In the winter, you could even cook them.

When Chu Pann'er heard about marinating the fish, she thought of an idea. "Jin'er, I'll teach you how to cook the fish in water later on, but after you finish eating, you have to help me cut the chilli peppers."

The fish willow was easy to sell, but before the people got tired of it, Chu Pann'er sold more fish, and the business was still good.

A middle-aged man, dressed in ragged clothes and covered in filth, walked over after sending off a guest. He shook the bowl that he had taken away from his hand and said, "Congratulations to the girl for her prosperity. I wish the girl great fortune in life."

The surrounding people all took a few steps back while some of them covered their noses with their hands.

"Stinky beggar, you're here to beg for food. Don't dirty your things."

"Scram, scram, scram before I buy anything."

The person who came was a guest. Chu Pann'er's expression was normal, his gaze did not waver, and he asked indifferently: "Guest, do you want to buy Golden Sesame Rice?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Yu Liu and swallowed his saliva, "My lady, I haven't eaten in days. Your business is so good, you must have made quite a bit, right? "Give me something to eat. Give me a few copper coins so I can have a meal."

Chu Pann'er sized him up, and wiped a cold smile off her face: "I won't, please give way, don't affect my business."

"You …" The middle-aged man didn't think that she would reject him so straightforwardly. Shame and anger mixed together, "You earn so much money, what's wrong with giving me charity?" "It's not like I can't tell what your business is, I haven't eaten my fill in three days."

He originally thought that since he had met someone who had a good business background and wanted something to eat, he would say some good words. How could this girl be stingy?

Madam Wang was soft-hearted to begin with, but when she heard this, he became angry, "Whether or not you give it to us is our problem. If you want to beg, then go no further. If I say it's not given, then just don't give it."

"The rich are as heartless as you, the only people in this world who have so many beggars!" The middle-aged man was indignant.

Chu Pann'er's eyes turned cold, and her expression became cold: "There are so many people in this world like you, who have hands and feet, yet do not care about face, that there are so many beggars. Her hands and feet were clearly healthy, and she was as strong as an ox. Yet, she still asked for rice and used her hands to earn money?

If the person who came to beg today was an old man who was incompetent at the age of sixty, I would definitely take care of the food, but for a young man like you, I will never be merciful. "

"Well said! It's no disgrace to have hands and feet to pay your debts. "

"You deserve to starve to death, don't block the way!"

The middle-aged man had been begging for so long, but he was too used to this kind of life where things could be bought without paying. He was becoming more and more depraved, how could he expect to be able to eat with his hands?

The despising voices of the people became louder and louder. The middle-aged man could no longer stand and walked away dejectedly.
