Previously, Zining had stated that he could not tell the folks how to make vermicelli, so the siblings avoided the crowd for the final step, and the folks were not dissatisfied.

Hao Wanshun had already set up bamboo poles for drying vermicelli in the open space in front of the yard. As soon as the vermicelli in the yard cooled down, Hao Wanshun moved the vermicelli out of the yard and asked several women to help dry the vermicelli.

Hao Wanshun's parents knew that Shi Zining was short of manpower, so they took the initiative to help buy sweet potatoes. Wanshun's parents ran around every day after finishing the work in the field, and took the sweet potatoes from the villagers' homes in several nearby villages. After all the purchases, I went to a distant village to buy.

The folks in several nearby villages knew that Shi Zining would continue to buy sweet potatoes in the future, and then opened up wasteland everywhere, preparing to plant sweet potatoes in a large area. Some people have a lot of vegetable fields at home, and they will also free up a large area to replant. sweet potato.

The output of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of rice. Although the selling price is not high, it is still money if the quantity is large.

Shi Zining expressed his pleasure for the forward-looking folks.

More than half a month later, Shi Zining sent a letter to inform Lu Shuangquan, asking him to send someone to fetch vermicelli.

Lu Shuangquan's men arrived at Shidun Village two days later, and a total of five large carriages came, one of which was Wu An who had picked up Shi Zining.

Wu An is Lu Shuangquan's confidant, and he gave Shi Zining a 100 tael bank note: "Master Shi, my master is afraid that you will be short of money, so he said that I will give you the 100 tael to make money first."

Of course Shi Zining would not refuse, she took the bank note: "I'm sorry, Brother Wu, please thank Brother Wu for me to thank Master Lu."

"Okay." Wu An got up: "Shi Zigong, I still have to rush to deliver this batch of goods, so I will take my leave first."

"Since Brother Wu is busy, I won't stay with Brother Wu. We will meet again when Brother Wu is free."

When it was time, Ning personally sent Wu An and her party to the entrance of the village. As soon as she returned to her yard, the villagers put down their work and surrounded them, talking in a hurry.

"Zining, is this the coachman of Mr. Lu you mentioned? He looks very powerful."

"Five big carriages entered our village on the same day, so I'm so envious of those people in Baiji Village and Hewu Village!"

"Zining, have you ever ridden in their carriage?"

"I must have ridden it, but I still think that Mr. Luo's carriage looks better."

The folks said one sentence after another, and Shi Zining didn't need to answer at all. Shi Zining stood there listening and watching with a smile. back to the house.

But she soon came out again, carrying a heavy basket in one hand, and a notebook and charcoal sticks in the other.

"Folks, rest for a while." Shi Zining stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Our first batch of vermicelli has been taken away today, I will pay the big guys half a month's wages first, I read it Come and get the money with your name."

This basket of copper coins was brought back by her when she came back from the county, in order to sweeten the folks and let the folks know that there are other ways to support themselves besides farming.

In the past, Zining asked the head of the village to tell the villagers that the salary was 10 Wen a day, which was not much money, but it was very tempting to earn 10 Wen a day as pocket money in the countryside, and the work was not heavy, so he would Someone from every household came to help.

One person costs 10 Wen, and half a month is 150 Wen. In this way, the monthly salary can buy eight or nine catties of meat. The smiles on the faces of the villagers after receiving the money cannot be suppressed.
