Lin Jinyue said confidently, "Why not? Let's see if he has the nerve to come and argue with me."

Lin Jinyue then recounted what had happened yesterday.

The wealthy woman's eyes widened: "How could this person do this? Even if he defaults on his debt, can we just ask him for that much silver to buy the land?"

Lin Jinyue said to them, "I'll come back tomorrow to keep an eye on you when you're cooking snails. I can also help you if anything comes up."

After they sold out, the group prepared to pack up and leave.

Lin Jinyue was getting more and more cravings for the first shop she had visited, and they were even about to sign the contract.

There's a small courtyard behind the shop where they can spend the night, instead of rushing back and forth from dawn till dusk, which would take two hours round trip.

Lin Jinyue didn't rush back. Instead, she took a detour and delivered the remaining three packets of stir-fried snails to the military camp.

If you build a good relationship with Gu Shao, at least no one will cause trouble for you when you do business in the city.

On the way back, Lin Jinyue said, "Tomorrow let's make more and send some to the yamen. Send a few more packages, there are many people there. Don't forget about General Gu's side either."

The wealthy wife praised, "Er Ya is so thoughtful; we never thought of that."

How did Er Ya's little brain grow?

His son, Lin Gou Dan, is a teenager. He runs around the village every day, always causing trouble. When will he be able to learn even a fraction of Er Ya's cleverness?

Back in the village, Lin Jinyue tallied up her earnings for the day. She had earned five taels of silver at the normal price, plus the one hundred taels she had swindled, which was quite a sum.

Lin Jinyue then called everyone in the village over to discuss today's distribution.

"Today we have a total of 105 taels of silver. We'll take out 50 taels to buy rice seeds, and save the remaining 50 taels. We'll use all 300 taels that Chen Dawei lost to buy cattle."

"From now on, the snail business will be handled by the three aunties."

One of the three was Lin Youcai's daughter-in-law, and the other two were the wives of Li the blacksmith and Wang the carpenter.

The Li and Wang families have been extremely busy lately, making furniture and ironware for the villagers without charging much, and working tirelessly from dawn till dusk.

The money Lin Jinyue prepared for building the bridge and making the plows was also given away for free.

At this point, no one cares about whether they have a different surname or joined later; from now on, they will be brothers from different fathers and mothers!

Everyone thought that the three people Lin Jinyue chose were exceptionally good.

Lin Jinyue continued, "My family provides the recipe and the key ingredient, chili peppers. I will take 20%, give 30% to the village for construction, and you can share the remaining 50%."

The three women's eyes lit up.

That's 50%!

They've all seen how profitable the snail business is today.

Lin Jinyue didn't forget to reassure the others: "Don't worry, the ice business will not stop. We will need a lot of money in the future, and we will need people everywhere. We will still divide the other businesses in the same way."

Hearing her say that, some people complained that Lin Jinyue only taking 20% ​​was too little.

Without her strange and wonderful ideas, they wouldn't have earned a single penny, let alone a 50% profit.

The villagers were genuinely grateful to Lin Jinyue.

They originally thought that when Lin Jinyue said she would lead them to a better life on the road, she meant that they could live peacefully in Lingnan and no longer suffer from war and the pain of fleeing.

Who knew that Er Ya would actually lead them to make a lot of money!

Lin Youcai felt as if his family's ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke, that the third son of the Lin family could give birth to such a remarkable little girl.

However, when Lin Youcai recalled Er Ya's appearance in the village, he found her to be somewhat timid and cowardly.

She was completely different from how lively and cheerful she is now.

But Lin Youcai and the others never thought about such a bizarre thing as time travel; instead, they felt that Lin Jinyue had been enlightened.

There have always been rumors in the countryside.

Some people are blessed by God and can see celestial books in their dreams. When they wake up, they are also smarter than ordinary people.

Lin Youcai and the others always thought that Lin Jinyue had seen the celestial book in her dream.

He became even more convinced that Er Ya was the treasure of their village.

On the other side, Shawan County.

Xie Hong slammed his fist on the table: "What did you say?!"

The servant's voice grew even weaker as he repeated what he had just said: "Miss Lin and her family are selling snails for only thirty coins a serving..."

Xie Hong was furious.

The country girl he looked down on actually tricked him!

Xie Hong originally wanted to see Lin Jinyue make a fool of herself and see how she couldn't survive in Shawan County.

With Gu Shao protecting the Lin family, Xie Hong dared not go too far, so he ordered that no shop in the city be rented to Lin Jinyue.

When he went to see the joke, he turned around and said to his friend, "That country girl is so stupid."

You get scammed without even knowing who did it, and you still have to smile and apologize.

But who knew this little girl was even more cunning than those old foxes in the business world? She turned the tables and made him buy the snails at a high price.

Yesterday he was so arrogant when he mocked Lin Jinyue, today his friends will find out he was tricked by a country girl, and he will feel incredibly ashamed.

Xie Hong was furious.

He stormed out, determined to teach Lin Jinyue a lesson.

But the servant stopped him: "Young master, it's getting late today, and it's not safe to travel by water. How about tomorrow?"

Xie Hong nearly dropped and shattered the teacup in his hand.

He practically gritted his teeth as he walked back, determined to teach that country bumpkin a lesson tomorrow!

The next morning, after sleeping soundly in the space, Lin Jinyue got up before dawn.

Waking up early is really tough.

Lin Jinyue said last night that she would rent a room for them in the city, and that she would just transport the snails there when she had free time.
