Chapter 109 Su Xiaoxiao gives away five-spice powder
Liu Zian explained to the two handsome men who were confused by the spiciness, "I've lived in Sichuan. It's humid there, and people usually rely on chili peppers to expel dampness from their bodies. They can also stimulate the appetite. It's indeed a very good food therapy. You should try eating more chili peppers. You'll get addicted to them, and the spicier they are, the more you'll want to eat them."

What Liu Zian said was true, but there are very few people growing chili peppers in Baihua Village, where Su Xiaoxiao is now, and no one eats such spicy food.

We're saying, what's the point of trying to whet our appetites? We don't even have enough food to eat, we're not even full, how can we whet our appetites? What will we eat if we whet our appetites? Tree bark and grass roots?

That's ridiculous, so very few people in Baihua Village know what this chili pepper is.

Therefore, chili peppers are not widely available here. Qian Musheng and Sanlang were eating chili peppers for the first time, so they were naturally not used to it.

Only Liu Zian had tried this stuff slightly. Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was better to popularize the production of chili peppers. This way, not only would people grow chili seedlings, but if there were more chili peppers in the future, they could be made into good products such as chili powder and chili oil, which would generate good economic benefits.

Su Xiaoxiao has so many things she wants to do right now, she can't even say for sure, but she can't be too greedy. Su Xiaoxiao constantly reminds herself that if you want everything, you'll end up with nothing. It's like holding a handful of sand; the tighter you squeeze, the faster the sand slips away.

The meal was quite pleasant. After finishing her meal, Su Xiaoxiao immediately went with Sanlang to the jam workshop to help Qian Musheng carry goods.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao knew that Qian Musheng was just making excuses. He wasn't in a hurry to get this batch of goods; he just wanted to find an excuse to come over.

But this kid is really lucky; he happened to be there when everyone was having hot pot, and he got to enjoy a big hot pot meal.

We say that Qian Musheng was very satisfied with the final clear broth hot pot, and from then on, he never forgot about hot pot.

Whenever she had time, she would run to Su Xiaoxiao's house to act cute and charming, saying things like, "Su Xiaoxiao, shall we have hot pot today?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't do anything about him.

While helping Su Xiaoxiao load jam onto the mule cart, Sanlang complained reluctantly.

"Why doesn't that guy come and move it himself?"

"He's the boss now, of course he doesn't need to move things himself!"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't do anything with him; why did he ask such a stupid question?

Just then, Mrs. Sun happened to pass by and helped Su Xiaoxiao move a lot of things; Sanlang, that good-for-nothing, couldn't have done it at all. Sometimes Su Xiaoxiao even doubted whether the person who rescued her from the tiger's mouth on the mountain that day was actually Sanlang, or perhaps it was just her imagination.

That person definitely isn't Sanlang!
Su Xiaoxiao said to Sun, "Sister Sun, come to our house and get some wild boar meat. I've saved the best parts for you."

Mrs. Sun was quite surprised, "You still left me some meat?"

"Of course, every employee gets a share. Are you an exception?"

As soon as Mrs. Sun entered Su Xiaoxiao's house, she smelled a fragrant aroma.

"What delicious food are you making?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Sun, you have a really good nose. I'm stewing meat."

"Then I'm in for a treat! I'll have a taste."

When Sun tasted the wild boar meat, she thought Su Xiaoxiao's stewing was absolutely superb.

"What spices did you use? The stew is so authentic."

Su Xiaoxiao took out a packet of five-spice powder from the cupboard. "The secret is in this. Take a look."

Mrs. Sun took a look, sniffed it, and realized something was wrong. She had never seen this powder before. What was this seasoning made of? She was also very puzzled. "I'll pack some for you to take home. You can use this to stew meat."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao went to pack five-spice powder for Sun.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm so grateful to you. You gave me wild boar meat and five-spice powder, you're so thoughtful."

"What's this? Sister Sun, haven't you helped me enough? You've practically taken over all the clothes for our family. Every stitch is made with your hard work, and you wouldn't even accept money from me. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Sun said somewhat embarrassedly, "Let's not stand on ceremony, we sisters."

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao felt quite guilty about this. She could do anything, but she would become confused as soon as she picked up a needle and thread.

She guessed that she must have been used to handling guns and sticks in her past life, which is why her eyelids start to droop whenever she picks up a needle and thread in this life.

It's the same principle as some people whose eyelids droop as soon as they pick up a book, but these people each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

no one is perfect.

No one is born knowing everything and being omnipotent; there's no need to force it.

"Take this five-spice powder and use it first. If you run out, I'll ask Baxianlou for some more."

After staying for a while, Sun chatted with Su Xiaoxiao for a bit, then suddenly she hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, Sister Sun? Just say what's on your mind. There's no need to be so formal between us sisters."

“My husband, your second brother Wang, just came back from the market. He said he ran into your mother-in-law at the market today.”

When Su Xiaoxiao heard Sun Shi's hesitant manner, she guessed it was related to Granny Liu.

What did she do this time?

Sun finally told the truth. It turned out that she and Wang Er went to the street to sell jam today, and they saw Granny Liu telling everyone that their jam was bad, that it would cause diarrhea, and that it could even kill people.

She also spread rumors, saying that she saw a dead rat in the large pot of stewing jam in our jam workshop.

Su Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this. "Is there really such a thing? What right does she have to spread rumors here?"

"Yes, she hasn't even had a chance to enter our jam workshop, yet she dares to say such things. Isn't this pure fabrication, just trying to cause trouble for our jam workshop?"

Sun also seemed very agitated. Wang Er immediately went over to explain to those people. However, because Wang Er was not good at speaking, he couldn't explain clearly to them. Some people in the town didn't understand and thought that since Granny Liu was from Baihua Village, she must know some inside information.

Anyway, that afternoon, Mrs. Sun sighed slightly and said, "Our jam isn't selling very well. Isn't this just adding to our troubles?"

Wang Er got a little agitated. Unable to win an argument with the sharp-tongued Granny Liu, he went up to her and tried to shut her up. Granny Liu brought a few of her old friends with her, and they all beat Wang Er up.

Sun didn't mention this incident, but only said that Wang Er and Granny Liu had a conflict at the time, which made things very unpleasant.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao said to Madam Sun, "I'm sorry, I'm such a troublesome mother-in-law, I've caused you all so much trouble."
