In fact, strictly speaking, none of the words that Su Qingluan told Liuyue were "lies". However, there is a choice not to say, and there is a choice to exaggerate, so that different people will sound different feelings.
Although Su Qingluan didn't say anything, he was indeed deliberately guiding. And Liuyue doesn't know that she doesn't even have to tell lies when she misleads others.
In short, for the current Liuyue, the jam made by Su Qingluan has become such a tall ingredient as "unattainable", "the gift brewed by the essence of nature's halo", and "not something that ordinary people can afford".
And the person who can make this unique ingredient has also become a halo for Liuyue.
Su Qingluan looked at the Liuyue who was fooled by herself, and looked at Liuyue, whose eyes gradually became shining, Su Qingluan felt a trace of guilt in her heart, and then thought: Miss Liuyue, don't worry, our family is wronged, and we will never pit the real poor.
Su Qingluan actually understands that fundamentally speaking, his jam is a little unique except for the seasoning recipe, and the other raw materials and general production methods are just mediocre.
The reason why it can be favored by the old lady of the Xie family now is just an innovation in taste.
Su Qingluan plans to take advantage of this unique taste advantage and seize the eye-catching elements to hype the concept, so that the jam can be sold at a price far higher than the cost.
It's like some of the things that Su Qingluan knew in his previous life that made good Chinese food into Japanese food, and the price per capita soared from two or three hundred to ten times, but it was still very popular, and it took more than a month just to queue up for an appointment.
Su Qingluan doesn't think that those Chinese foods suddenly become particularly delicious, this is the "hype concept", to put it bluntly, it is an IQ tax.
But a lot of people eat this set.
To put it bluntly, a considerable part of buying a meal for 2,000 yuan is not bad money, and it is all squandering anyway, so why can't it be used in IQ tax?
In Su Qingluan's view, these rich people use money to buy superiority, while she sells superiority to get more practical money - not to mention, if this money can make the villagers in Huaxi Village live a good life, why not?
Su Qingluan came out today with a bag on his back and a small basket on his back. The small basket he carried was filled with some wild fruits, which were available of different ripeness and varieties. There are also some small wildflowers on the roadside, which bloom in deep purple and pale yellow.
Su Qingluan picked some and planned to go home and use idle bottles and cans to decorate them.
Liuyue looked fresh, but every pot and scene in Xie Mansion was taken care of by a special gardener servant, and she didn't need to worry about it, so although she was itchy to see it, she couldn't rashly say that she would bring these flowers and plants back.
However, the young girl couldn't resist the attraction of these beautiful and cute little things, and couldn't help asking, "Can I live when I pick this flower?" It's all wilted. ”
Su Qingluan saw Liuyue's curious eyes dripping, and said with a smile: "This kind of flower that grows in the field is the most solid." Although it is wilted now, go back and insert it in the water, and it will be relieved in less than an hour or two. ”
Liuyue sighed: "Since I was sold into the Xie family at the age of five, I haven't been to this countryside for a long time, and I have forgotten what the outside world is like. As she said this, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
"Look at the wild flowers in the mountains, although they are not as precious as the peony and peony ornamental, but they look pretty like this, don't they? And they bloom so freely that they can't help but be ...... scissors to build branches."
Su Qingluan said with a smile: "The peony peony needs to be pruned, but it also has a greenhouse and fertile soil, so it doesn't need to fend for itself, and it won't encounter a violent storm outside, right?" ”
Liuyue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Qingluan, you are right, Peony does not need to struggle in the storm, she is much luckier than many flowers that have withered early." ”
Although there was a hint of relief in her words, there was still an indelible envy.
Su Qingluan naturally knew that it was very embarrassing to say something like "where is there a perfect thing" at this time.
But......
"What are you doing?" Liuyue looked at what Su Qingluan was doing with the wildflowers she had picked.
Su Qingluan didn't answer Liuyue's words, and asked rhetorically, "Which one do you like?" As he spoke, he pointed to the various wildflowers blooming in front of him.
Liuyue didn't know what it meant, but she still told the truth: "I like the yellow color, it's bright, and it makes people feel good when they look at it." ”
Su Qingluan nodded, picking a lot of bright yellow wildflowers that Liuyue liked.
This kind of wildflower is not like the one-spotted plum, the rhizome is very small, and it is only the size of a finger's belly. This kind of wildflower that Su Qingluan can't call is a few more layers than Diandi plum, although the flowers are not so huge, they are also the size of a dragon's eye, and the rhizome is very slender and slender, and it is also flexible.
Because the raw materials were very handy, Su Qingluan knitted a small wreath in just a moment, and then handed it to Liuyue: "Oh, the wreath on the head is too conspicuous, I guess I will be reprimanded when I go back and be seen by Mama Zhang." This small one can be worn on the wrist, and if you feel that it is in the way, you can go back and throw it away. ”
Liuyue carefully took the bracelet woven by the wild flowers: "This ...... This is for me? ”
Su Qingluan smiled: "Naturally, it's for you - in addition to Liuyue, is there a third person here?" ”
Liuyue blushed for a moment: "Obviously I'm older than you, and I still asked you to make these things for me......"
Su Qingluan smiled: "You look like you're only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as me." ”
In fact, in the eyes of Su Qingluan, a person in his twenties in his previous life, fifteen or sixteen years old is still a child.
Liuyue obviously likes this bracelet very much, wears it on her hand and looks left and right, and tells Su Qingluan some innocuous little anecdotes about her usual time in Xie Mansion, and Su Qingluan has not been idle along the way, in addition to picking a little wild flowers and fruits, her main goal is all kinds of wild mushrooms.
Su Qingluan rarely had the opportunity to come to such a deep woods in the past - it is better to say that most of the villagers in Huaxi do not have that kind of effort, after all, every family has a field to cultivate, and there are pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese to feed, and maybe a short job.
All in all, there are basically no people who specialize in collecting mushrooms in Huaxi Village, and there is nothing special about the mushrooms in this mountain forest, so almost no one comes to such a deep forest to collect mushrooms unless it is used as food every day.
Su Qingluan is actually not good at finding mushrooms, but only picks those designated non-toxic species, such as hazel mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and the like.
All in all, do not seek merit but seek no fault. Whenever there is a little uncertainty, Su Qingluan would rather throw it away than put it in his back basket.
In the process of collecting mushrooms, I also encountered a black-browed snake and a scale-based snake, both of which are common non-venomous snakes.
Su Qingluan thought about it, there is no legal provision in this era that stipulates that wild non-venomous snakes cannot be caught, so she simply squeezed the snake gall and threw it into the back basket together, planning to go back and eat it - she hadn't eaten yellow eel for a long time, so let's eat snake meat instead.
We talked as we walked, and by the time the two of them came out of the woods, it was past noon.
When the two girls reached the place where the carriage had stopped, they saw the coachman tying his horse to a tree beside him, and he was leaning against the tree and napping.
The curtain on the carriage was raised, and another little girl who was left behind sat at the door to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and the sun just after noon sprinkled down, which restored a little warmth to the originally cool weather, and made Zhang's mother and the little girl who played the fan a little drowsy.
The horses were more alert than the three sleepy humans around them.
Su Qingluan and Liuyue hadn't come close yet, and the horse first raised his head from the originally quiet state of grazing.
The horse pulling the carriage moved, although it was tied to the tree, but after all, the whole body was pulling the body, so the whole carriage shook violently forward.
In this flash, the carriage and the three sleepy people under the shade of the trees immediately woke up, and when they saw that it was Su Qingluan and Liuyue coming over, Zhang's mother nodded noncommittally and looked at Liuyue.
And Liuyue, although she didn't nod her head, her eyes looked slightly in the direction of the ground.
Su Qingluan didn't know what the meaning behind the eyes of these two people meant, but she had already said it clearly or sideways, and the rest was not something she could interfere with.
And the reason why Zhang's mother sent June to follow her was also to spread the word.
After all, compared with herself, a little girl from the countryside who has an "unknown origin" and "rude manners", she is still able to gain the trust of Zhang's mother by looking at the little girl in front of her.
Sure enough, after Su Qingluan came back with Liuyue, Zhang's mother's attitude towards her was much calmer, and she even invited Su Qingluan to get in the carriage and give her a ride.
However, Su Qingluan declined - just kidding, taking a carriage on this kind of mountain road, I am afraid that if it is not an overnight meal, it will have to be shaken out.
Zhang's mother probably also thought of the "power" of riding a carriage on such a mountain road, so she simply got out of the carriage and walked, and waited until she was out of the mountain area and arrived at a relatively smooth dirt road before sitting back in the carriage.
And along the way, she only picked out some inconsequential trivial matters and talked to Su Qingluan a little, and Su Qingluan could also see that Zhang's mother didn't want to chat with her very much, purely if she didn't say a word, according to her social system, it could be regarded as "rude".
Since it is a social rhetoric, Su Qingluan is simply a competent complimentary, whatever Zhang's mother says, she will appropriately praise a sentence or two, and there have been a lot of back-and-forth chats along the way.
However, even if chatting can be a proper distraction, when it came to the fork in the road where Su Qingluan and Zhang's mother and his party were separated, Zhang's mother was a little pale, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and she looked very uncomfortable.
I guess it's a little nausea.
Silently sympathizing with Zhang's mother, who still had a long way to go in the carriage, Su Qingluan returned to his house, first inserted the wild flowers that were already a little wilted in the old ceramic jars that were not used, and then turned around and went to the stove room, but happened to meet Yang and Su Guangfu who came back from the stall, and Su Xuanhe, who was picked up from the school.
Su Xueyan, who was playing in the opposite yard, heard the movement, said goodbye to Sun Guixiang, ran back, and saw Su Qingluan looking up with a bamboo basket on her back and asked, "Sister, did you bring back something delicious?" ”
