The four greeted each other and hitched a ride together in the truck back to their community.

Luo Liuzi rubbed his hands together eagerly. "Xiaozhu Zhu, are you making wild vegetable porridge again tonight?"

Song Xiaozhu said directly, "Let's eat together."

Tian Man hurriedly said, "Let's go back first, we'll come back in a bit."

Song Xiaozhu nodded in agreement, Tian Man pulled Luo Liuzi toward his shack.

Luo Liuzi muttered under his breath, Tian Man said, "How dare you freeload every day?"

Luo Liuzi: "I have money!"

Tian Man: "Would Xiaozhu accept your money?"

Luo Liuzi thought about it and realized it made sense. Yesterday, Song Xiaozhu had said that the wild vegetable noodles wouldn't be sold anymore. He was a little dejected. "What should I do? I want to eat that wild vegetable porridge..." He had been thinking about it all day.

Tian Man: "Bring a gift? How stupid!"

They went back and carried two bags of wild vegetable powder, making their intentions obvious to everyone.

--He's obviously trying to freeload dinner every day!

During this break, Song Xiaozhu also learned about what had happened that day from Qiu Shuyu.

Luo Liuzi sold inferior goods for 10 yuan each, and third-grade goods for as much as 20 yuan each, making him a true sales genius!

Song Xiaozhu pondered for a moment, "They actually sold two."

But she only received 1 Transaction Value, which should be from the later one.

Bundle.

Song Xiaozhu pondered that the Transaction Value was based on the products she synthesized, so she could still obtain Transaction Value even if she didn't actually trade them.

However, the Transaction Value seems to be based on the number of transactions, not the amount of money involved.

As for the trade of inferior goods, why didn't the Transaction Value increase...? Because she hadn't repaired the Synthesizer yet.

Qiu Shuyu had a lot to say about Luo Liuzi's behavior today. She felt it was wrong, but she wasn't good at expressing herself and didn't know how to put it into words.

Song Xiaozhu noticed her mood and said gently, "This won't last."

Qiu Shuyu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Song Xiaozhu continued, "Money is a good thing, and everyone wants to earn more, but Luo Liuzi is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; it's unsustainable."

It might even create enmity.

Liu Mu will find out sooner or later, and once he does, he will surely hate Luo Liuzi.

The saying goes, "Harmony brings wealth."

If you truly offend a petty person, there will be nothing but trouble afterward.

Luo Liuzi's behavior was unlike anything he could have come up with himself.

It's highly likely that Tian Man taught them.

She explained everything to Qiu Shuyu bit by bit, clearly articulating the vague thoughts in Qiu Shuyu's mind. Qiu Shuyu nodded in admiration and placed even more trust in Song Xiaozhu.

She will not be blinded by wealth.

Xiaozhu has her own opinions!

As expected of Master Bai's Bodily Transmission, he remains of noble character!

As Song Xiaozhu pondered, she saw through Luo Liuzi Tian Man's actions that they were extending an olive branch.

These two have their own ideas.

Since that's the case, Song Xiaozhu is happy to cooperate with them, but some plans need to be strictly controlled to prevent everyone from making money but not having the life to enjoy it!

Chapter 30

Before long, Luo Liuzi Tian Man arrived, each carrying a bag of wild vegetable powder. Their faces were relaxed, and they were in a very good mood.

As Luo Liuzi approached the Bai Jing shack and smelled the refreshing aroma of food wafting out, his stomach rumbled loudly. "Xiaozhu Zhu is so kind, her cooking alone is enough to make anyone want to eat her food..."

Now that Tian Man was in the same boat as him, she didn't stand on ceremony and gave him a slap on the forehead. "What are you thinking about!"

Luo Liuzi looked bewildered. "Huh?"

Tian Man: "..."

Luo Liuzi: "Can't I even praise Xiaozhu Bamboo? Her skills are truly impressive!"

Tian Man: "..."

He was overthinking it; he thought Luo Liuzi's second half of the sentence meant, "... someone who would want to marry him."

Tian Man, of course, couldn't admit that he had misunderstood, so he corrected her, "The way you address her should also be changed. What ' Xiaozhu Sister'? She's a ' Craftsman ' with miraculous skills!"

Luo Liuzi was bewildered. "Then how should I address you?"

Xiaozhu Bamboo was being somewhat disrespectful, but looking at the Awakened Garbage Mountain, the District Chief was addressed as Old Madam Hu, Bai Jing as Master Bai, Mu Qing as Boss Mu...

"Xiaozhu... cough, she's only a teenager, we can't just call her Song... Song..."

Neither Grandma Song nor Aunt Song are behaving properly!

Tian Man was also stumped by the question. After a moment of contemplation, he had a sudden inspiration. "Master Song!"

Luo Liuzi scratched his chin. "Hmm... that makes sense. Xiaozhu's skills are indeed those of a top-notch master chef."

Tian Man added, "However, let's not address her like that in front of her for now. She's very approachable, and we don't want to create any awkwardness between us."

Luo Liuzi didn't understand these things, but based on his trust in Tian Man, he nodded repeatedly. "Then how should I address him?"

Tian Man: "Xiaozhu..."

Luo Liuzi sighed, "We've come full circle again."

Tian Man: "You don't know anything! Was that in front of her? In private, we have to call him Master Song!"

Luo Liuzi: "Oh, right."

Two uncultured people can't even come up with a proper honorific.

Compared to Master Song, Miss Song and Mr. Song are clearly more refined.

However...

There aren't many educated people living at the Garbage Mountain.

This title, "Master Song," truly intimidated the displaced people and spread far and wide in the future.

Song Xiaozhu saw

They took the wild vegetable powder without hesitation, saying, "Don't take any more next time. You can come anytime you want to eat it."

Luo Liuzi beamed with joy. "Great..."

Tian Man interrupted, "How could we? When 'pre-cooked meals' become available, we'll buy them and cook them ourselves."

Song Xiaozhu smiled and said, "Come in, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The wild vegetable porridge was still thick and sweet, and Luo Liuzi ate it with great satisfaction. If Tian Man hadn't glared at him several times, he would have wanted another spoonful, and another spoonful, and another spoonful after that.
