Chapter 142 A businessman is indeed a businessman
Su Li carefully selected several jars of different types of pickled vegetables and personally brought them to the dock.
She found several traveling merchants with whom she had a good relationship. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she smiled and handed them jarred vegetables, saying warmly:
"Brothers, this is some new pickled vegetables I made. I'm sharing it with you so you can try it out. You're always traveling and eating out, so these vegetables will make your journeys a little more comfortable."
The traveling merchants stared in astonishment at the small jars before them. With some skepticism, they opened the jars, only to be instantly captivated by the aroma emanating from them, and couldn't wait to try them.
With that first bite, the flavor became even more exquisite.
"Miss Su, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! This tastes fantastic!"
Before Su Li could even begin to promote her wares, a traveling merchant said generously, "Miss Su, give me fifty jars of each of these six items!"
Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes widened in surprise, and she froze completely.
Fifty jars of each, that's three hundred jars!
Last time I went to Jingdexian, I only bought five hundred jars in total, this...
Before she could react, another traveling merchant said, "Give me eighty jars of each!"
"And me, I'll order a hundred jars of each too!"
Orders kept piling up on Su Li, leaving her completely dizzy.
But if they order so much food at once, will they be able to finish it all on the way?
Isn't that a bit too much?
Seeing the confusion on Su Li's face, a traveling merchant smiled and explained:
"Girl, your cooking skills are impeccable, but it would be such a waste to just let us eat such good food on the road."
"Think about it, as we travel north, the nomadic people in those pastoral areas mostly eat dried meat and dairy products. If they had your refreshing pickled vegetables, wouldn't they be fighting over them?"
"And in the Xinjiang region, where resources are relatively scarce, these pickled vegetables will definitely fetch a good price."
The other traveling merchants nodded in agreement, and they all smiled knowingly.
Su Li suddenly realized what was going on, feeling both surprised and touched.
She couldn't help but admire in her heart that businessmen are indeed businessmen, born with a keen sense of smell and a broad vision.
He had only intended to improve the meals for the traveling merchants and make some money in the process, but compared to that, his vision was far too short-sighted.
However, this also made her see an even greater opportunity!
Before going home, Su Li didn't forget to visit Steward Yu. When she found him not there, she quietly placed the pickled vegetables on the table, left a note, and hurriedly went back.
After arriving home, Su Li began making preparations in earnest, and the whole family was also extremely busy.
The village's pickled vegetable workshops need to be organized, and we also need to order some more pickled jars from Jingde County.
Li Gou'er was always busy. Every day before dawn, he would push his cart, carry his scale, and go out to collect vegetables from house to house.
In the past, Li Gou'er spent his days idly in the village, wandering around like a headless fly.
If he saw a lone chicken in someone's yard, he would hatch a wicked plan. He would tiptoe closer, and when no one was looking, he would grab the chicken and stuff it into a sack.
What's even worse is that he always harasses Peach Blossom.
Seeing Tao Hua washing clothes by the stream, he went over to bother her, even going so far as to call it "getting closer to his future wife"...
Su Li put him in charge of harvesting vegetables, but he still couldn't shake his carefree and irresponsible attitude.
Li Gou'er came to Grandpa Zhang's house to collect vegetables.
He casually tossed the vegetables onto the scale, glanced at the weight, and shouted, "Uncle Zhang, this is all the weight I have. I'll round it up for you."
Grandpa Zhang frowned, leaned forward to look at the scale, and said with dissatisfaction, "Dog, your scale is inaccurate! I know the quality of my vegetables, don't try to fool this old man."
Li Gou'er waved his hand dismissively and chuckled, "Grandpa, don't you trust me? We're all from the same village, would I cheat you?"
Grandpa Zhang was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at Li Gou'er, pointing at him and saying:
"You've always been a bad kid, and you're still so unreliable when it comes to doing serious work. Look at you, you can't even weigh things properly, how can you do any good job?"
Li Gou'er shrugged impatiently: "Alright, alright, sir, I'll do as I say and give you a little more money, okay?"
As he spoke, he casually grabbed a few coins and tossed them to Grandpa Zhang.
After harvesting the vegetables, Li Gou'er went to harvest the fish.
The fishmonger watched as he packed those stale fish with whitish bellies into his basket, and his conscience bothered him. He couldn't help but remind him, "Dog, these fish aren't very fresh. Are you sure you want to buy them?"
Li Gou'er didn't even look up, saying nonchalantly, "Oh, it's fine, it'll do. Why be so picky? They're all fish, aren't they?"
The fishmonger could only shake his head helplessly as he shoved all the fish into the sack.
Just then, Erzhuzi from the same village came running over in a panic, looking terrified, and shouted, "Gou'er, come home quickly, your grandma is dying!"
"What did you say?"
"Your grandma, she, she..."
The vegetable basket in Li Gou'er's hand fell to the ground with a "thud." Without listening to Er Zhuzi's words, he took off running home, stumbling and falling several times along the way.
Upon entering the house and seeing his grandmother lying on the bed, barely breathing, his eyes instantly reddened. He rushed to the bedside, knelt down with a thud, and tightly grasped his grandmother's thin, bony hands, his voice trembling with tears:
"Grandma, what's wrong? You can't leave me behind!"
Although Li Gou'er was a reckless and unruly man, he was loved by his grandmother since childhood, and the two had a very close relationship.
Grandma struggled to open her cloudy eyes, saw Li Gou'er, and a weak smile appeared on her lips. She raised her hand and gently touched his face, saying in a barely audible voice:
"Doggy, Grandma's old bones can't take it anymore... You lost your parents when you were little, and Grandma has always hoped that you would be alright, but you've been idle all day long. What will you do after Grandma is gone..."
"Who else can protect you..."
Li Gou'er's tears rolled down uncontrollably, and memories of the past involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
When I was a child, my family was poor, but whenever there was something good to eat, my grandma always gave it to him first.
One year during Chinese New Year, the family finally managed to make some dumplings. Grandma barely ate any herself, but piled them all into his bowl, muttering to herself:
"Dog, eat more, you'll grow taller if you eat your fill."
He got into trouble outside and someone came to the door. His grandmother kept apologizing, and after the person left, she just held his hand tenderly and whispered:
"Doggy, don't do that again, or Grandma will worry too much."
His heart was in turmoil, and all those times he had squandered were now vividly clear in his mind.
He recalled the villagers' accusations and disdain towards him, and looking at his grandmother lying in bed, about to pass away, he was filled with self-reproach.
His willfulness not only wasted his own time, but also caused his beloved grandmother a lot of worry.
The absurdity of the past is like a series of sharp blades, piercing his heart.
But it seemed he would never have the chance to make his grandmother look at him with new eyes again...
Thinking of all this, Li Gou'er burst into tears, his shoulders trembling violently: "Grandma, I was wrong, I was so wrong! It's all my fault for being so ignorant and never letting you enjoy a single day of happiness... Please hold on, I'll go get a doctor right now!"
As he spoke, he got up and was about to rush out.
