Chapter 149 A Satisfactory Solution
Night fell, and the courtyard was deathly silent, save for the sound of the wind whistling through the corridors.
Pei Lanxin stood in the courtyard looking flustered, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around, full of guilt.
Pei Xiao walked over with steady steps, his figure appearing long and slender in the moonlight. His face was cold and stern, and his eyes revealed disappointment and seriousness.
He stopped in front of Pei Lanxin, staring directly at her, his voice icy: "Do you know what you've done? I don't want this foolish thing to happen again—betraying someone."
Upon hearing this, Pei Lanxin trembled violently. She wanted to explain, but found that her throat was blocked and she could not make a sound.
She could only watch helplessly as her brother resolutely left, tears welling up uncontrollably and streaming down her cheeks.
The bandits' early return was due to Pei Lanxin's act of tipping them off for her own selfish reasons.
She only wanted to teach Su Li a lesson, but she didn't expect things to get so serious.
The timely arrival of the government troops was secretly arranged by Pei Xiao.
He was concerned about Su Li and Tao Hua, and had already noticed Pei Lanxin's unusual behavior.
On one hand, he was worried about everyone's safety, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to warn Pei Lanxin, letting her know that her every move was under control, and that she should not harbor any illusions or make any underhanded moves...
After the battle, Su Li solemnly handed over the account book she had obtained from the bandits' lair to the government soldiers who had come to suppress the bandits.
After carefully examining the account book, the officers and soldiers looked solemn and carefully put it away, preparing to take it back to the government office as key evidence for thoroughly investigating the case.
When Master Tang, who was far away at the Tang residence, heard the news that Young Master Tang was still alive, he was immediately relieved from his grief and seemed to be rejuvenated.
But when he learned that Steward Tang had been arrested and that he had committed a series of evil deeds behind the scenes, including colluding with bandits and attempting to seize the family property, he was so angry that he trembled with rage.
He immediately ordered a thorough investigation of all affairs within the government, and vowed to show no leniency to anyone involved.
As the investigation deepened, the shocking truth gradually surfaced.
Madam Liu and Steward Tang had been secretly colluding for a long time, and the child in her womb was actually an illegitimate child of hers and Steward Tang.
When Mr. Tang learned of this, he was heartbroken and furious.
He could not tolerate such immoral and treasonous acts occurring in his own household.
In a fit of rage, Master Tang decisively ordered that Madam Liu be sold off. At the same time, he carried out a thorough purge of the household staff, sweeping out all those who were connected with Steward Tang or who harbored ill intentions, striving to reorganize the Tang family and restore its former order.
After dealing with these troublesome matters, Master Tang wrote a letter to Young Master Tang, in which he expressed his sincere apologies:
“My son, stay in Linshui Village. After I finish settling things at home, I will take a boat to see you. Your fate with Peach Blossom is ordained by heaven. After going through this ordeal, I know that pure love is more important than fame and status. I am already old and do not want to see you suffer anymore. Since you are truly in love and determined to be together, I will not stop you.”
Upon receiving the letter, Young Master Tang was filled with mixed emotions.
He looked at the peach blossoms beside him; sunlight shone on her face, revealing her gentle features.
Seeing the tears in his eyes, Peach Blossom asked softly. Young Master Tang told her his story, and tears welled up in Peach Blossom's eyes as well. The two embraced and wept with joy.
Su Li was genuinely happy for Tang Gongzi and Tao Hua when she learned that they had a happy ending.
She couldn't help but sigh that people really do change a lot after experiencing something lost and then regained.
Perhaps it was only after experiencing the pain of losing his son and then regaining hope that Mr. Tang truly understood that pure feelings are far more precious than worldly fame and status.
Now that everything has settled down, the village has returned to its former tranquility, and Young Master Tang and Peach Blossom are about to begin their happy life together.
She could finally relax a little.
As the days went by, Su Li's hard-earned pickled vegetable business encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Due to the immense popularity of pickled vegetables, vendors have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, intensifying competition.
"What are we going to do about this business now? With so many competitors, we can't even sell our pickled vegetables."
Su Li bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can't just give up like this. We have to find a way to create something different."
At this moment, Mrs. He, who had been listening quietly, spoke up: "How about we try making some new dishes?"
Su Li's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again: "New dishes are easier said than done, and even if they are made, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be imitated."
Just as the family was worrying, Su Li suddenly had a brilliant idea:
"Brother, sister-in-law, I've been thinking, we could make a multi-purpose seasoning block. We could grind and mix all the spices we usually use in cooking, like star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and the unique ingredients from our pickled vegetables, plus some dried meat and dried mushrooms, and then boil them into blocks. Customers could buy them and add one to their dishes, whether they're cooking vegetables, making noodles, or stewing meat, and it would instantly enhance the flavor and aroma—it would be so convenient!"
The older brother scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Will this even work? I've never heard of anything like this before."
Su Li stood up, picked up a bowl, and gestured to explain:
"Brother, think about it. When we cook, we need to use several kinds of seasonings to adjust the flavor, and sometimes the proportions are not right and it doesn't taste good. This seasoning block adjusts all the flavors, making it convenient and effortless for customers to use. Moreover, we can add our family's specialties, which is difficult for others to learn."
The older brother listened and nodded with some doubt: "It seems to make sense, but wouldn't it be quite troublesome to do?"
Su Li said firmly, "No matter how troublesome it is, we have to try, otherwise there's really no hope for the business."
In the days that followed, Su Li threw herself into the research of the all-purpose seasoning block.
She spends all day in the kitchen experimenting with different spices and ingredients.
Sometimes too many spices are added, resulting in an overly strong flavor that fills the entire room with a pungent odor; other times, if the ingredients are not prepared properly, the resulting seasoning blocks will have a strange texture.
But Su Li did not give up and adjusted the formula time and time again.
Meanwhile, the old beggar from the prefectural city also made some new moves.
The villagers were very surprised to see the old beggar picking wild sour fruits all over the mountains.
A kind-hearted woman stepped forward and advised, "Grandpa, these sour fruits are too sour to eat. Why are you picking them?"
The old beggar just smiled and didn't say anything.
When the villagers saw that he ignored them, they began to whisper among themselves, with one of them muttering, "This old beggar, has he lost his mind? What use are these sour fruits?"
Others chimed in, "Exactly! They're always so secretive, I wonder what they're up to."
When Su Li returned home, she saw the old beggar carefully putting the sour fruits one by one into the jar and then carefully sealing it.
Su Li's heart stirred. She vaguely guessed that the old beggar must be doing something special, but she didn't ask any more questions and decided to wait for the moment when the mystery was revealed.
More than ten days passed, and one morning, Su Li smelled a strong aroma of wine in the backyard.
Curious, she looked around and discovered that the odor emanating from the jar that the old beggar had sealed was indeed coming from.
The old beggar also came over at this moment, a hint of smugness on his face.
Su Li exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa, are you brewing wine?"
The old beggar raised his head arrogantly and snorted, "Of course, the wine I brew is absolutely delicious."
As he spoke, he picked up a spoon, scooped up a bowl of wine, and handed it to Su Li: "Girl, have a taste."
Su Li took the bowl, took a small sip, and found the wine to be mellow, smooth, and full of fruity aroma, with a unique taste.
Su Li's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed, "Grandpa, this wine is so delicious! You've been hiding your true talent!"
At this moment, the surrounding villagers were also attracted by the aroma of the wine. At first, everyone was full of doubts, but when they saw Su Li praising it highly, they also curiously tried it.
After tasting it, everyone praised the wine. Even those who had previously called the old beggar strange couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that this sour fruit could be brewed into such a delicious wine by the old man!"
After many attempts, Su Li finally succeeded in making a delicious all-purpose seasoning block.
She decided to launch a combination of seasoning blocks and honeycomb briquettes, explaining to her family:
"Honeycomb briquettes burn longer than regular charcoal, produce no smoke, and are more affordable. We offer honeycomb briquettes with the purchase of seasoning blocks, plus three kinds of dried vegetables. This set allows customers to make delicious food with the seasoning blocks while also getting a good deal, which is sure to attract many people."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
With the all-purpose seasoning blocks, honeycomb briquette kits, and the wine brewed by the old beggar, Su Li's business boomed again.
Their products are plentiful and affordable, giving them a clear advantage over other vendors' monotonous pickled vegetables.
People flocked to buy, and long queues formed again in front of Su Li's shop.
Seeing how thriving the business was, the old beggar's smile grew wider, his spirits rose, and he appeared much healthier than before.
Su Zhen was very resentful when she heard that Su Li's family business was booming again.
The portable space contains many modern items, but Su Zhen only knows how to use them and cannot manufacture them, since ancient times lacked the corresponding industrial base and materials.
Su Zhen knew that in order to gain a foothold in this world and showcase her strengths, she had to find a way to manufacture modern goods.
She thought of the Ninth Prince. She had heard that the Ninth Prince was respectful to scholars and had many talented people in his household. He was also very wealthy and might be able to help her realize her wish to manufacture modern items.
So Su Zhen found paper and pen, sat down at the table, and began to write furiously.
She wrote down in detail the structure and working principle of a lighter, described how a flashlight uses electricity to emit light, and the materials required, filling a thick stack of paper.
After finishing writing, she carefully sealed the envelope and then carefully selected a small pendant from her spatial storage and placed it next to the envelope as a token, hoping to attract the attention of the Ninth Prince.
She carefully handed it to the messenger, repeatedly instructing him to deliver it to the Ninth Prince. Then she eagerly awaited the Ninth Prince's response, dreaming that one day she could use these modern items to shine in ancient times.
