When the thin, soft vermicelli noodles were eaten, they were smooth and had a delicate fragrance, which amazed everyone in the village.

Why does it look completely different now that it's made into powder?

It yields four pounds of powder from ten pounds of grain, which is quite good. The key is that it requires no care and has a high yield, so even weeds and bushes can't compete with it!

When made into kudzu root powder, it becomes smooth and sweet, much tastier than the harsh, black noodles.

Who would have thought it could become a fan product?

Can potatoes be made into potato flour? Wouldn't that preserve it better...?

In the cold winter, we ate dinner early, and by the time we finished eating, it wasn't even dark yet. Everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.

The old village chief stood up, walked to the center, and solemnly repeated the results of the afternoon's discussion, ensuring that everyone present knew them.

In fact, after discussing it, the people present immediately told their own families and also informed neighboring families. The whole village probably knew about it, but they told them in person so that anyone with opinions could raise them directly.

No sooner had the old village chief finished speaking than a figure stood up abruptly.

Everyone looked over and saw Zhang Chunhua, the bald man's daughter, wipe her mouth with her sleeve and complain, "Why should we girls have to participate too!"

How are we supposed to get married in the future? The idea of ​​finding a son-in-law sounds nice, but all we get is land to build a house. Who will pay for that? And the land? We have to clear it ourselves, but the land is so barren, how can we possibly cultivate it?!

You all speak so sweetly, clearly disregarding our reputation and whether our future in-laws will like us. Sisters, we absolutely disagree!

The empty space remained silent for a long while; the three hundred or so people could only hear the sound of the wind.

Shui Qing looked at Zhang Chunhua and saw that she was excited and looking around, trying to find other girls of the same age to echo her, but none of them stood up.

She angrily shouted, "Don't think you're so great just because you've earned a few months' salary at the herbal medicine shop. Let me tell you, we women still have to get married and have children in the end!"

"You've ruined your reputations, how will you marry into a good family? Even poor families won't want you! Xu Ting, tell me, if your mother-in-law dislikes you, won't you regret it?"

When Xu Ting's name was called, her face turned bright red. She exclaimed and looked up abruptly. Seeing everyone looking at her, she stood up awkwardly and stammered but coherently expressed her thoughts: "I...I...it's not necessarily a bad thing if my reputation is ruined and I can't get married. Didn't the old village chief say that I can find a son-in-law?"

We can also divide the land and build houses. If we don't have money, we can build a thatched hut first. After all, we lived in a thatched hut before. We can also grow potatoes after clearing the land. I quite like potatoes. I never get tired of eating them.

I can earn six hundred coins a month at the herbal medicine shop, which is enough to buy salt and other necessities gradually.

As for what Chunhua said about poor people looking down on me, I also look down on them. Why would I regret it?

Zhang Chunhua was taken aback by the question. Xu Ting was always timid and hesitant, and she never thought that she could say such a long thing.

She then argued, "But dealing with bandits is such a dangerous thing, how can we girls do it? Even the men got injured, what about us?"

Zhang Xiaocao suddenly stood up, interrupting Zhang Chunhua's words and looking directly at her, asking, "Men are people, and we are people too, so why can't we be?"

Don't you know the current situation? How many men in the village can take over?

Besides, in dangerous situations, it's always the men who have to take the lead, while we hide behind. Even when things are peaceful later, we'll still be the ones bowing down!
