"So you're teaching Zhou Qin to make ginger candy?" Xiao Ruo first smiled, then reminded, "Teaching her to make other pastries wouldn't work? You know, not many people like to eat ginger candy, and getting this business going won't be easy."
It's important to remember, in this era, rice is pricey, but salt and sugar are even pricier than rice. Making ginger candy requires sugar, and what if Zhou Qin can't sell the ginger candy she makes?
Du Runiang sighed in resignation, "Xiao Ruo, I just told you, Zhou Qin is someone who is self-aware. Both Dashan, Jingcheng, and I want to compensate her, but she and her husband are unwilling, so when I saw they had a lot of ginger at home, I thought of your ginger candy idea."
Zhou Qin feels that even though she hasn't officially parted ways with Zhuo Dashan, they've both remarried, so there's no debt between them, and therefore she absolutely refuses to accept gifts from Zhuo Dashan and Du Runiang.
