Chapter 20 Leading the Village (2/2)

Huang Xiaoman wanted to have both, but Old Lady Huang glared at him and said, "If you want to get delicious food from me in the future, you must learn to be humble and above all, be law-abiding.

"If I give it to you, you just take it. If I don't give it to you, don't think too much. Don't be so greedy as to have your cake and eat it too!"

Huang Xiaoman has been disciplined much better by Old Lady Huang in the past few days, and Huang Xiaojuan has also become much more well-behaved.

After dinner, the family went to catch snails.

Because she was not sure about the sales capacity of Qingyunlou, Mrs. Huang did not dare to take more money and decided to take it according to the amount she had in hand.

When it was delivered the next day, she was shocked.

The shopkeeper actually asked her for three times the price, because they didn't make snail noodles, but braised them and served them as a side dish for drinking.

Only a small spoonful of the snail noodles made by Old Lady Huang is needed at a time, and several servings are equivalent to a plate of noodles from Qingyunlou.

But Old Mrs. Huang is worried. Although she says that now is a good time for snails to grow, there are not enough people.

But Old Mrs. Huang immediately came up with a solution.

After she returned home, she immediately organized Huang Erniu and Tao Chunhua to go down to the river to fish.

Huang Erniu complained, "Mom, we finally got rid of all the grass in the field, and now we want to take a few days off."

"I give you work to do because I think highly of you!" Old Mrs. Huang said, and immediately blocked him back.

Even Tao Chunhua, who originally wanted to speak, didn't dare to open her mouth after hearing this.

Old Mrs. Huang saw that even if the whole family went down to the river to catch snails, the efficiency was still low, and the snails could not be left dry for too long, otherwise they would die before the next day.

After weighing the pros and cons, Old Lady Huang went to find Muramasa.

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you for help."

When Muramasa saw Old Lady Huang coming, he quickly asked what was going on.

Old Lady Huang said, "I have negotiated a deal with Qingyunlou in town, but I don't have enough staff right now, so I want you to help arrange it so that we can make money together."

When he said this, Muramasa immediately became interested.

Old Mrs. Huang said, "Uncle, it's like this. Everyone goes to the river to catch snails, and then weighs them. They cost two yuan per pound."

Muramasa nodded and said, "That's great. There must be tens of thousands of pounds of this stuff in the river."

Old Lady Huang said, "When the time comes, after you collect the goods, I will arrange for a few people to deliver them to Qingyun Tower for me. I will pay them for the delivery."

After the two men had finished talking, Muramasa immediately ordered people to take gongs and shout in the village.

There is strength in numbers, and in just one afternoon, they caught several hundred kilograms of fish.

Old Mrs. Huang looked at the dozen or so baskets of snails and immediately called a few people to pull them to Qingyun Tower in Huang Xiaohu's ox cart.

So many snails will definitely die if left at home.

Qingyun Tower had made sufficient preparations. They had dug a pool in the backyard, and the snails would not die if they were put into it.

Old Mrs. Huang bought it from the villagers at the price of two cents per catty, and then sold it to Qingyun Tower at the price of three cents.

This time, we calculated one hundred catties per ton, which is one thousand and one hundred yuan.

Mrs. Huang made a net profit of 100 yuan.

The other one thousand yuan will be distributed according to the number of snails caught by each household.

Old Mrs. Huang didn't suffer any loss from these deliverymen.

Each person got ten cents, and Huang Xiaohu took ten cents.

In front of the village chief, Old Lady Huang distributed the money to everyone, and the villagers cheered.

But there were also a few people in the village who did not go, such as Aunt Eight and Aunt Hua.

At this moment, these people gathered together and watched Old Lady Huang distribute money to everyone, their eyes all red.

"I just don't believe that Old Lady Huang would be so kind! There must be something deceitful going on!"

"I'll go find out tomorrow what kind of shameful activities are hidden here!"
