The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

What are you tinkering with?
Pomegranate broke her guard. If she heard what she said correctly, it seemed to be "goodbye"?
But why would anyone speak English here? She must have heard wrong. Yes, that's right, she just heard wrong. It's impossible.

Pomegranate shook her head and threw the matter out of her mind, no longer thinking about it.

The mule cart drove over the stone bridge and entered the village. Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there were always mothers and daughters-in-law who were not afraid of the cold. They were holding fire baskets or holding their hands in their sleeves, and they would gather here to set up a dragon gate array. This was a leisurely day in winter. A rare pleasure.

The sun is quite strong today, and the sun is still a little warm in the afternoon, which makes it more suitable to go out for a walk.

Seeing Li Rongzong driving a mule cart back to the village, the ladies inevitably turned the conversation to him.

"Hey, Brother Brown, where are you coming back from? Look at the mule and cart running smoothly! It feels like yesterday I was bathing naked in the Xishui River. In the blink of an eye, I have grown into an adult! "

"Said he was delivering goods to the city! Didn't he go with Rongsong's son who was taking his father to Zhoucheng for treatment early yesterday morning?"

"Delivery again? The Shiliu family delivers those wooden boxes to the city every few days. How much money does it cost?"

"It must be quite a lot. There are so many helpers! Didn't the Li clan raise money to treat Li Jiren yesterday? I heard that Li Jihe paid ten ounces of silver! Right? Mrs. Wang?"

When Li Yichun's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, was asked, she thought that this was a matter within their clan. Although she was also curious about how much money Jihe's family earned, and she often murmured at home, her grandson was also an apprentice at Jihe's family, so she didn't Talking too much to others outside.

He immediately smiled and said: "How much money can I earn? That is to make a wooden box and build a bed. Apart from the cost of the wood, I can't earn much. I heard that this is all, and I have given them all. Aren't they brothers?" How can a younger brother not love his elder brother?"

"That's true, Jihe is a kind man! I just don't know if this carpentry workshop can be bigger. When the time comes, how about hiring people from our village to do the work?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "We haven't recruited so many people from our own clan! If we could recruit people from the village, how big of a show would it be? Think about it!"

Everyone started laughing, thinking so, it was just a joke.

Pomegranate listened to the discussions of the women outside and shook her head with a smile.

The mule cart walked along the bank of the Qing River, avoiding the old locust tree. Shiliu jumped out of the mule cart and asked her elder brother to take her things home first. She also called her father to come to the patriarch's house to find her.

Then she went all the way to Patriarch Li's house and went into the yard, "Grandpa Patriarch, are you at home?"

Patriarch Li was sitting and talking at Li Yishan's house opposite. When he heard Pomegranate's voice, he hurriedly went outside. Seeing Pomegranate enter his yard, he quickly said: "Pomegranate, I'm here!"

When Shiliu heard the sound, she turned around and saw the patriarch's grandfather at the uncle's house. She also sneaked over there and said, "Grandpa, the patriarch, uncle!"

"Did you just come back?" Chief Li looked at Pomegranate and responded.

Shiliu nodded, "I just came back! Grandpa, the patriarch, I have something to say."

Patriarch Li was originally curious as to what the Shiliu brothers and sisters did yesterday besides delivering goods, and what they went to the city with Fu Guang's eldest nephew. When he heard that Shiliu came to him as soon as he came back and said that he had something to say, he was energized, so he immediately let Shiliu in. Go sit down and talk slowly.

Pomegranate immediately followed him into the main room of his uncle's house, sat down and said, "It's like this. Yesterday, I followed my adoptive father into the city. After being introduced by my adoptive father, I negotiated a small business with his employer's grandson and sold some snacks. The recipe was given to Young Master Wang. To make this snack, you need to use Tian Ai. So Young Master Wang asked his foster father to help buy the Tian Ai at Datong Warehouse. It cost one penny per pound. If it was weeds and scraps, he would choose them. If it's clean and tender and beautiful, you can get two cents a pound.

I made an agreement with my adoptive father. He will take over our village first. Time waits for no one. Tian Ai needs it urgently. Grandpa, the patriarch, please hurry up and have someone beat the gong to summon the clan members to talk about this! Tell the clan members first, and then tell the village chief. "Clan Chief Li heard that Shiliu had gone to the city to discuss business. The grandson of his boss was introduced by Fu Guang's nephew. Could this be a small business?
He wondered what kind of background and ability Pomegranate had saved the man last time. Did he give Pomegranate some food recipes as a thank you?
Tian Ai? Aren’t those weeds that grow all over the mountains and fields and on the ridges of the fields? Can this also be used as a snack?
He really couldn't understand, so he didn't think much about it. He just thought about selling Tian Ai for one penny per catty or even two cents per catty, and he got excited. Just like kudzu root, the clan could have another income, which was a good profit. Chinese New Year!

And unlike kudzu, this Tian Ai sprouts again after being pinched. It is everywhere and can be pinched until after the Qingming Festival!

This can earn you several months!
And the kid Pomegranate will also think about it. He has to tell the village about the purchase. Sooner or later, the village will receive the letter, so they will tell them here, and the village will also wish them well.

He first summoned his clansmen and told them to go up the mountain in a hurry, and then go there to grow their families, it was all right!

Patriarch Li hurriedly walked out of the main room and shouted to his grandson Rongzhen from across the courtyard to beat the gong.

In response, Li Rongzhen picked up the gong at home and went outside. However, the Li family members living on the left and right had already heard the sound of Patriarch Li shouting and beating the gong. They were all curious about what happened and spontaneously went to the ancestral hall. He didn't even wait for the gong to be struck. The gong should be played for the Li clan members who were far away.

This time Li Rongzhen went to beat the gong. Chief Li called Li Yishan and was about to go to the ancestral hall.

"Grandpa Patriarch, there is one more thing." Shiliu hurriedly called to him.

Patriarch Li asked: "What's going on?"

"It's like this. I want to open a small workshop to make a kind of food and sell it to this Young Master Wang. I need some women who are quick and hard-working to work. The wages are thirty cents a day. Grandpa Patriarch, please wait a moment. I took the opportunity to help with the idea and select ten suitable aunts and sisters-in-law."

After that, she added with a solemn look, "I don't sell this kind of food at all. It is very important, so the people who work must be strict with their mouths and not think too much."

Patriarch Li was also surprised when he heard this, thinking how much Shiliu had accomplished during this trip! Are you going to open a food workshop again?

Pomegranate was right. This method was a big deal. It was for making money. Those lazy and greedy wives couldn't use it. He knew it well!
"Don't worry Pomegranate, I know it well!"

"I believe in the articles of association of the patriarch!" Shiliu also laughed, and immediately said: "Grandpa, please go to the ancestral hall. I'll wait. I'll go to the chief's house and tell the chief about this."

When Patriarch Li heard that she was going to the Li Chief's house to discuss this matter, he agreed immediately without thinking too much.

Shiliu watched Patriarch Li and the others go to the ancestral hall. After standing outside the patriarch's house for a while, Li Jihe came in a hurry and asked, "Pomegranate, what happened? Your elder brother said you were waiting here at the patriarch's house. And me?"

On the way, he heard Rong Zhen beating the gong to summon the clan members. He almost stopped running, thinking that something had happened to his daughter. But when he saw his daughter standing here properly, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad!" When Shiliu saw him, she hurried up to meet him, pulled him and walked towards the house leader's house.

On the way, I whispered to him: "Dad, I want to buy the homestead next to our house and expand the house!"

"What?" Li Jihe was surprised when he heard this. Why did he buy a homestead to build a house?

"Is our current house enough to live in?"
