Early in the morning, Su Xiaofeng had gone with He Ximei to pick chilies in the field.
On the road out of the village, they encountered Su Xiaotao, the two glanced at each other and quickly looked away.
"Hmph," Su Xiaotao snorted coldly, "What bad luck, to run into certain unclean people right as I leave the house."
"Who are you calling bad luck?"
"I’m calling you bad luck."
"Oh, so your name is Bad Luck," Su Xiaofeng left a few words indifferently, then ignored Su Xiaotao and went down to the fields.
By the time Su Xiaotao realized what had been said, her face had turned green with anger.
Su Xiaofeng, you are the real Bad Luck.
Picking less than twenty kilograms of chili peppers, she returned home and started cleaning the chilies, drying them, and peeling garlic.
She chopped the chilies and garlic together, added some white wine and various seasonings, and put them into bottles, waiting for the flavors to meld.
Don’t underestimate this chili sauce, although it’s simple to make, the taste is truly excellent, truly a great dish to accompany meals. In her previous life, as soon as she launched this chili sauce, it sold like hotcakes.
Watching Su Xiaofeng stick labels on the bottles, the ordinary bottles immediately looked upscale, He Ximei originally wanted to say something to detract from Su Xiaofeng’s efforts but ended up holding her tongue.
"Xiaofeng, every household has chili sauce, where do you plan to sell it?" She couldn’t help but swallow several times looking through the glass bottle at the chili sauce inside, it was too enticing.
"To the train station," Su Xiaofeng was trying this for the first time and didn’t dare make too much, she made just under twenty bottles, "Auntie, are you going downtown in the next couple of days? If you are, you can try selling some at the train station."
He Ximei was startled, "I’ve never done business, can I manage it?" The house in the city had also been purchased, just waiting to be cleaned, anytime they wished to move in was possible.
"It’s very simple," Su Xiaofeng smiled broadly, there were enough people at home, not everything had to be done personally, "If someone wants to taste it, just give her a little to try."
She had specially prepared one bottle that wasn’t fully sealed, so she could take some out anytime.
Thinking of living in the city, one has to have some skills. He Ximei felt somewhat excited about Su Xiaofeng’s suggestion, "When can I take it to sell?"
"Tomorrow is fine," everything was already chopped and would season quickly, "Tomorrow big brother can take you, you can try starting at the train station."
"Okay," He Ximei agreed promptly, "I’ll try it tomorrow, then go clean in the afternoon, ahchoo..."
Having just finished chopping the peppers, the air was filled with spiciness, He Ximei waved her hand, "Don’t you smell the spice? Achoo."
Su Xiaofeng pointed to the mask on her face, "I wore this."
"Make one for me too," dealing with chilies every day, it’s really tough without a mask.
In a liquor store in Xiqian Town, Su Guisheng and his wife sat at a table with Liu Datou, who handed a red envelope to Ma Donghua, "The police station said my son will be released tomorrow after three days inside. Once my son is out, let Xiaofeng marry Anzi, this is the matchmaker’s fee, take it first."
Ma Donghua glanced at the red envelope on the table, her lips curling into a smile, "Cousin, you are really too polite, this matter isn’t settled yet."
Though she said this, her hand had already taken the red envelope.
Xiaofeng, that brat, sooner or later had to get married, she was bound to receive this red envelope sooner or later.
"It’s best you check on this matter soon." Liu Datou watched Ma Donghua accept the envelope, certain that the deal was sealed, "You are the elders, you need to act with the authority of elders."
Liu Datou took a small packet from his jacket pocket and handed it to Ma Donghua, "Give her this to drink, and I’ll bring Anzi over, even if she doesn’t want to, she won’t be able to escape."
The subtext was, if soft methods didn’t work, they’d use hard ones.
