Wan Shu originally planned to teach them business skills after they got back, but since they asked now, she decided to teach them now.

She straightened her expression and asked seriously.

"Do you think the braised food would have sold out so quickly if Grandma hadn't delivered the crayfish today?"

The five little brats thought for a moment, then all shook their heads.

"cannot."

"Before the offer of free crayfish with braised food, nobody wanted to buy braised food."

In fact, let alone buying them, even if you offered free samples without crayfish available, probably not many people would be willing to come and eat them.

Of course, beggars and poor people who cannot afford to eat are an exception.

They can't even afford to eat, so when they see a food tasting event, they'll eat anything, whether it's offal or pork offal, as long as it's edible.

However, those people who consume it will definitely not buy it, and therefore do not belong to Wanshu's target customers.

“We know that our pork offal is different from other people’s, and it tastes especially good, but others don’t know that. If we hadn’t used crayfish to attract customers to try it today, it would have taken at least six or seven days for the reputation of our braised food to spread. And those six or seven days would have been enough time for us to earn more money than the crayfish we gave away today.”

"In business, you can't just look at the immediate small profits. If you want to grow your business into a big and strong one, you must have a long-term vision!"

Wan Shu's words were clearly too advanced for the five little ones who had only ever toiled in the fields since they were young.

Dazhu and Erya were completely bewildered.

Si Ya Wu Ping scratched his head, looking like he understood but not quite.

Only San Shun, after thinking for a while, nodded knowingly to Wan Shu: "Mother, I understand!"

Wan Shu thought to herself, "Sure enough, I wasn't wrong about San Shun. He's a promising talent."

Of course, she didn't mean to belittle the other four kids as useless.

Everyone has their own unique talents.

However, everyone's talents are different. The other four children's talents are clearly not in business, while Sam-soon can be taught more about business.

However, teaching must be done gradually; you can't get fat overnight.

Wan Shu made up her mind and said no more.

She temporarily left her stall items at a small shop for two coins, then led her five little ones toward a more bustling commercial street.

"Mother, what are we doing here?"

"I made some money today, so naturally I'm here to broaden your horizons and buy you some clothes!"

Wan Shu had wanted to buy new clothes for them and herself for a long time.

There was no other way; their clothes were just too tattered!

Not only were there patches on top of patches, but the fabric was also very rough and uncomfortable to the touch.

Wan Shu led them into a clothing store and bought each of them a comfortable cotton undergarment.

As for her outer garment, she still bought inexpensive coarse cloth clothes.

It wasn't that she was stingy with money, but rather that they often had to work in the fields, and if they bought nice clothes, they wouldn't wear them because they would wear out easily.

Also, if you wear cotton clothes even as an outer garment, it's bound to make the villagers envious.

Even so, the five kids were both excited and worried after changing into their new clothes.

Dazhu: "Mother... is it really okay for us to just buy ready-made clothes?"

Er Ya: "Why don't we just buy some fabric? I know how to make clothes, I'll make them for everyone!"

Sam-soon: "If we each go back in a new outfit, the uncles and aunts in the village will definitely be unhappy."

Si Ya and Wu Ping nodded vigorously: "If my uncle and aunt see this, they will definitely be unhappy. Let's not buy such expensive clothes!"

Although they were illiterate and not particularly intelligent, growing up in the village made them very familiar with the rules of survival there.

They know that living too well and flaunting their wealth will easily arouse envy from others.

They're really precocious. In modern times, many people would be in their mid-twenties and still be clueless about the world and have no worries.

Wan Shu patted their heads affectionately: "Wear them, don't worry, your mother has already thought of a way to keep your uncle and aunt happy."

After spending so much time together, they completely trust Wan Shu and think their mother is amazing, capable of doing anything!

Upon hearing this, she stopped worrying and happily and peacefully put on her new clothes.

In addition to the new clothes, Wan Shu also bought each of them a new pair of cloth shoes.

Their shoes were patched upon patched, and the soles were badly worn, especially Dazhu's, who did the most work. One of his shoes had a sole that was completely worn through.

Dazhu was honest by nature and didn't say anything.

If Wan Shu hadn't accidentally discovered last night that Da Zhu's foot was bleeding from being poked by a tree branch, no one would have known.

It was this incident that solidified Wan Shu's idea.

Now that you've made money and have enough, don't care what others think. Just live however you feel comfortable!

Otherwise, wouldn't this money have been earned for nothing?

The Liang family owns five mu of land, but they don't have enough manure to use, and they don't have enough eggs to eat every day.

Wan Shu then led them to buy another twenty chickens, twenty ducks, and ten geese.

Finally, Wan Shu led them to the butcher shop.

She found the largest butcher shop and bought two sets of pig offal, totaling sixty catties, for ten coins per catty.

She also made an agreement with the butcher at the meat shop that she wouldn't have to sell any more pig offal; she would keep it all for herself.

Pig offal was really hard to sell in the Great Sheng Dynasty. Many times, not much could be sold in a day, and in the end, the butcher had to take it home to eat himself.

Butchers, not knowing the correct way to prepare it, naturally don't like eating pig offal.

So when he heard that Wan Shu wanted to contract the pig offal, he immediately agreed with great joy and even gave her a bone as a gift.

This shopping spree took quite a while.

Seeing that Wan Shu hadn't returned for a long time, the villagers, bored while working in the fields, started gossiping about it.

"It's almost afternoon, why hasn't Fugui's wife returned yet?"

Aunt Zhao and Li Lanhua happened to be among them and immediately burst into laughter.

"What else could it be? It's because she can't sell her pig offal and bloodworms!"

"Pig offal and bloodworms are things nobody wants to eat, yet she's still trying to sell them for forty coins a pound. I'm telling you, she deserves it if she can't sell them!"

Zhao Ergou listened from the side, nodding repeatedly.

"If you ask me, women should just stay home, farm, and take care of the kids. Business is something we men should do. Women don't know anything about it!"

Liu happened to be passing by and, upon hearing this, immediately became displeased.

"What do you mean women don't know anything, it's all men's business? If you're so capable, why don't I see you doing business in the county town?"

Liu spat, "Pah! You good-for-nothing who only knows how to talk big!"
