Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 437: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape

For example, she knew that there was a crop called potato and another crop called sweet potato, both of which were extremely productive and delicious.

It is said that it is still in the wild in Wubie Country and is not cultivated on a large scale.

As long as she can find these two crops and present them to the court, the Sun family will be able to get rid of their status as criminals.

Sun Zhengzhi had been the Minister of Revenue for many years, so he naturally understood better than others that if the two crops mentioned by Sun Bailu could really be discovered and successfully cultivated by the Sun family, it would be a great achievement.

Not to mention getting rid of the status of a criminal, even the whole family can become successful and get a new title.

Therefore, Sun Zhengzhi issued a new order that no one in the Sun family could target Sun Bailu anymore. As a result, Sun Bailu's treatment was finally improved, and he was finally able to arrive in Xinyang City with the Sun family.

But when they entered the city, the gatekeeper found out that they were fugitives.

Xinyang City had a relaxed environment, and although they were particularly lenient and did not drive them out of the city, they were assigned to the most remote village in the city. The village was inhabited by prisoners who had escaped from other places, similar to the Sun family.

This is completely different from the treatment the Sun family received in their previous life under the title of the retired old Hanlin of the Song family. In their previous life, the Sun family was assigned to a suburb that was nestled in the mountains and beside the water, quiet and prosperous.

So in the original plot, Sun Bailu quickly found the two crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes, thanks to her powerful halo as the heroine.

The village that the Sun family was allocated in this life was almost a criminal village.

There were many truly vicious people in the village, including arsonists and the most ruthless. The Sun family spent two days building only four thatched huts near the foot of the mountain, living in constant fear, neither hungry nor dead.

To change this lifestyle as quickly as possible, Sun Bailu, accompanied by her family, would go up the mountain at dawn and not return until dark. However, after a while, she found no trace of the sweet potatoes or potatoes she had been talking about.

Not only that, even the pheasants, ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum that the protagonists in time-travel novels often encounter were not seen at all.

Chen Bailu felt more and more desperate.

I feel like I’m not the heroine that’s often described in time-travel novels.

She was just a poor little girl who was accidentally brought here by the god of fate, living in fear every day. Oh my God, what had she done wrong!

At most, she thought that when she was in elementary and middle school, she and a few good friends would bully a little mute in the same grade.

But the little mute won’t tell any story, so who would know about this?

Besides, wasn't she young and naive at the time? Later, when she went to vocational high school, she stopped doing such childish things.

The God of Fate would never blame her for such a small matter.

Sun Bailu was worried every day.

Seeing that the Sun family's faces were getting worse and worse, the older girls in the family had already started looking for marriages. Among them, the eldest daughter of the third wife was looking for a family that made tofu in the village.

The so-called betrothal gift given by this family was nothing more than delivering a board of unsold tofu every three days, until a total of 10 boards were delivered.

Sun Bailu had an idea and offered to make stinky tofu and sell it in the city.

The Sun family also wanted to see if this "little fairy" had any other tricks up her sleeve, so they didn't object.

Although I didn't help her throughout the process, at least I didn't stop her from starting a business.

Sun Bailu didn't actually know how modern stinky tofu was made, but she thought, "It's stinky, isn't it?" So she collected the tofu sent by the family, let it stink, cut it into pieces, and finally wrapped it in wood ash and dried it in the sun for two days.

The last step should have been to deep-fry it. In Sun Bailu's opinion, even if it was a piece of shit, as long as it was fried, it would taste delicious.

It’s a pity that the Sun family has no oil.

As for the bucket of salad oil that Sun Bailu had taken out before, it had long been exchanged for food by the Sun family. Sun Bailu had no choice but to change "frying" to "barbecuing".

As for the source of carbon, I could only try to make it myself. For example, the charcoal burned by the Sun family produced a puff of black smoke, but I had to make do with it.

As for seasoning, there is none. In short, it can be summed up in two words: "hard baked".

After roasting, when they smelled the sour and refreshing smell, not only did Sun Bailu himself not have the courage to taste it, but the Sun family also shook their heads.

Just like that, without even trying anything, they pulled their stall to the street market to sell their wares. It can only be said that Sun Bailu still lacks life experience, and the Sun family is certainly not cut out for business.

It would be strange if such a "startup" did not fail.

On the street, the bailiffs got the news and rushed over soon. They arrested Sun Bailu, Madam Sun, and Sun Miaomiao without saying a word.

"Ahhh, I'm a law-abiding citizen. How can you arrest me at will?"

“You have no law enforcement authority!”

Sun Bailu was angry and scared, and he struggled and shouted loudly. The yamen runners laughed when they heard this:

"Oh little girl, you liar, do you even know about law enforcement powers?!"

The leading yamen runner laughed and said:

"Even though you know the law, you still dare to set up a stall privately, and sell stinky food... knowingly breaking the law is a more serious crime, don't you know?"

Sun Bailu panicked when he heard this:

"No, no, no, I don't understand the laws here. I, I was just talking nonsense."

"Brother officer, please let me go. I promise I will never sell things recklessly again..."

While struggling, she accidentally looked up and happened to meet the gaze of Qu Xiaoxiao who was watching the fun from the opposite building.

Sun Bailu was stunned.

The little girl in sight has rosy cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. Although she has no jewelry on her head, she has a pair of sparkling moon-shaped bells on her ears. The material of her clothes also looks very good.

For a moment, Sun Bailu felt as if she had seen this beautiful girl before, yet she didn't recognize her. It wasn't until she turned her gaze and saw Situ Zhige beside the girl that she suddenly realized who she was.

Isn’t this the granddaughter of the Sun family, named Qu Xiaoxiao?

Ahhhh, how could she, a down-and-out ancient native, still be by the side of such a handsome man? How could she, how could she live so well?!

Is it just because there was an engagement?

Simply ridiculous!

A marriage contract isn't a legal document, so was it really that useful in ancient times? She didn't believe it.

Sun Bailu's eyes flashed with jealousy and hatred. For some reason, she always felt that Qu Xiaoxiao had stolen her script and suppressed her aura as the heroine.

Actually, she was right to think so.

Although Qu Xiaoxiao did not steal her script, she did take away her halo as the heroine and even her space.

Unfortunately, Sun Bailu could do nothing at this time.

At this time, Madam Sun and Sun Miaomiao also had their arms handcuffed behind their backs. They cried and begged, saying that they knew nothing and they were just accompanying them.

Everything Sun Bailu did had nothing to do with them.

Sun Bailu felt a little disappointed when she heard Madam Sun say this. No matter what kind of grievances she had suffered in the Sun family before, she always thought that Madam Sun would protect her.

As for the fact that Madam Sun was no longer so protective of her during this period, she simply attributed it to the Chen family, as the only remaining children of the Chen family, one adult and three children, were also assigned to this village.

The two families were now separated by a deep blood feud and had long since stopped communicating with each other. Madam Sun must have been forced to treat her coldly, not out of sincerity.
