Chapter 141: A True Friendship in Adversity (4)
One day later, the price of sweet potatoes in Hangzhou skyrocketed. In just one day, it rose from one penny and thirty catties to one penny per catty.After farmers in several places adjacent to Hangzhou learned that the price of sweet potatoes in Hangzhou was high, they immediately shipped a steady stream of sweet potatoes to Hangzhou, and the price remained at one penny per catty.

At this time, the villagers of the Li Family Ancestral Hall had to admire Xie Wenjing's foresight again.At this time, the villagers of the Li Family Ancestral Hall were busy looking for sweet potatoes all over Hangzhou, but the Xie family was safe and sound, just because they still had 90 catties of sweet potatoes in their cellar!
There are still two or three days before the Chinese New Year, but the villagers in the Li Family Ancestral Hall have no intention of busying the New Year. Ten thousand catties of vermicelli were produced.

500 catties of vermicelli noodles, even if they don’t sell for 300 Wen a catty, but sell for 3000 Wen a catty, they can still sell for 3000 taels of silver! What does [-] taels mean?It means that the family will live a prosperous life from now on.From now on, you don't have to worry about your livelihood!
Now the villagers are busy with their own vermicelli production. The Xie family’s own vermicelli production can only be mobilized by the whole family. The uncles and aunts brought their own family, and Wen Jing’s family, to rush to make vermicelli noodles.

At this time, Xie Wenjing asked people to open the sweet potatoes in the cellar, instead of buying sweet potatoes whose price had risen to a penny a catty.

And because her own sweet potatoes are stored in cellars one by one, Xie Wenjing is not in a hurry to make sweet potato flour together.As long as the weather is still cold and can be frozen, it will not affect the production of vermicelli.

The villagers had no time to dig cellars to store sweet potatoes. In order to hurry up and measure, many villagers had to call their relatives to help.Because Miss Xie said that this vermicelli can only be made in this cold weather. After the Chinese New Year, once it gets warmer, it will not be able to be made.

"Father, Third Uncle, Chinese New Year is about to come. Our grandmother is still in Fajing Temple. Just now, my third aunt and I delivered medicine and said that we would bring them back to celebrate the New Year together. Grandma firmly refused, insisting that praying must be sincere, You can’t leave the Buddha just because of the Chinese New Year. We all know that she is also afraid of death, so I dare not bet that we don’t know her viciousness, and would rather stay in Fajing Temple for the Chinese New Year than go home with us. She also has another malicious , I deliberately didn’t go home, and let the monks of Fajing Temple and the world call our family unfilial, and didn’t even pick up my grandmother back during the Chinese New Year. It seems that my name as the first filial daughter in Hangzhou, our family’s filial name, must be false .”

When Xie Wenjing went, she guessed that the old woman would do this. She must have thought so, why should she give her parents a name?Still betting with her life?

"It's better if you don't come. It will save us from looking angry. We won't have a good time this year. This year our family will celebrate the New Year with your grandfather's house. It will be lively. If she comes, won't the whole family be in a panic? Besides, who here doesn't know our family is good? Everyone in our village knows your good and our family's good, so are you afraid that she will slander our family's reputation? "

Xie Wenjing's mother, the last thing she wanted to see was that old woman. Whenever she saw her, she wished she would die, and forced herself to pretend to respect her during the New Year's Eve?

This old woman caused her husband to almost die of illness, and her son still doesn't like reading, let alone practicing martial arts. Fortunately, there is Wen Jing who can intimidate Wen Bao, otherwise I, a mother, don't know how to teach son.

"Mother, in fact, we don't really want to pick her up to celebrate the new year. We just went through the motions and let the monks in Fajing Temple see that we went to pick up my grandmother before the new year. It's a pity that my grandmother insisted on praying sincerely, saying that her I have not fully recovered from my illness, I can’t stand up, and I will never come back. Father, mother, third uncle, third aunt, I have an idea, that woman can use my father’s illness to buy her a great reputation. We can too Using her illness to buy our family a great reputation. This time our fans have sold so much money, it won’t be long before all Hangzhou people will know that our family has become rich again, and jealousy and slander will naturally follow. The villagers in the Li Family Ancestral Hall say that our family is good, but it is not worth the envy of so many people nearby."

"This year the local villagers have had a very difficult life. Even when it was the Chinese New Year, they still couldn't eat a meal of rice or white noodles, so they had to eat sweet potatoes for the New Year. With the huge gap, and during the Chinese New Year, they lived like this Difficulties, the jealousy in my heart will be more obvious. But if our family promises at this time, if someone is willing to go to Fajing Temple to pray for our seriously ill grandmother, and accompany our grandmother to spend the New Year in Fajing Temple, our family is willing to provide For the New Year’s Eve dinner of anyone who comes to pray for blessings, each child will be given New Year’s money, [-] Wen, and each old man will be given a red envelope of [-] Wen. In this way, we may spend a few hundred taels of silver, and we will be able to Let all the nearby villagers eat a meal of white rice, white flour and steamed buns on New Year's Eve. They can also lead their children and elderly people to receive lucky money and red envelopes. The villagers must be extremely grateful in their hearts. "

"Doing this not only earned our family a good reputation, but also effectively blocked the mouth of grandma, so that she could not say that we, the descendants, did not care if she was alone, and cruelly left her in the Fajing Temple. If it survives on its own, Fajing Temple will also feel that the incense in their temples is extremely strong, and they must actively cooperate and spread our practices. Of course, Fajing Temple will also look at the arrangements, so that too many people will not be unable to enter Fajing The gate of the temple. The lucky money and red envelopes to be distributed are also limited."

As soon as Xie Wenjing finished speaking, Xie Chengyu had to admire her daughter's wisdom, she was so proud of herself!That old woman saw that her family was able to use her illness to earn a reputation, wouldn't she die of anger?Absolutely!

The daughter not only treats her body in her own way, but also really does some good deeds for the nearby villagers. She kills two birds with one stone. ?
The third uncle also felt that Wen Jing's move was absolutely perfect!
The rest nodded and said yes.In this way, Xie Wenjing met Master Kudeng and told him her plan.

"Good, good! The benefactor is truly a bodhisattva. In this way, the poor monk thanked the benefactor for the kindness of the villagers. However, during the Chinese New Year in Fajing Temple, it was originally planned to be arranged by the monks themselves, and many of them had local friends. Those of relatives in the secular world, in this case, they will have to stay in the temple to celebrate the new year. So many people always need someone to take care of them, even if they make fast meals and provide boiling water, they still need manpower?"

When it comes to doing business, Xie Wenjing has always felt that Master Kudeng of Fajing Temple is an absolute talent. He not only knows how to behave, but also takes money out of people's pockets. The key is that the other party is willing to do so.

Xie Wenjing originally thought that Fajing Temple might actively cooperate with her move in consideration of the strong incense in her family. As long as they provide a place in Fajing Temple, they don’t need them to provide food. What about a day's rations?
