The commotion from Li Dalang's side quickly attracted people who came to buy food. They surrounded Li Dalang's stall, and the buns he brought were sold out in just a cup of tea!

The buns that were previously ignored became an instant hit. Those who didn’t buy any felt sorry for them and told Li Dalang to bring more tomorrow!

Li Dalang agreed with a smile!

After the crowd dispersed, Li Dalang packed up the bamboo basket and drove the donkey cart to the city.

When he left home this morning, his wife told him to bring back some sugar and salt. They needed to make dumplings tomorrow morning, so they needed these seasonings!

The group first went to the grocery store and bought a pound of sugar and salt each, and then bought a bag of malt sugar, spending a total of one penny of silver!

After putting away the things he bought, Li Dalang waved his whip and drove towards home.

When the group arrived at the village entrance, they saw two people standing at the door.

When Maomao saw his father, he couldn't wait to run to the village entrance. Don't look at his short legs, they are very fast when running.

When Li Dalang saw his youngest son running towards him, he was very happy and gradually stopped the donkey cart.

When the little guy came forward, Li Dalang picked up his son and shook him in his arms: "Let's go home, Dad bought some malt sugar, you can share it with your sisters later!"

Maomao was so amused by his father that he hugged Li Dalang's neck tightly with his hands and giggled.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu's nervous mood began to relax. Judging from her husband's expression, she thought the buns must be selling well.

The group walked into the courtyard. Sitting in the courtyard, Wu asked, "How is it? Have you sold all the buns today?"

Li Dalang said excitedly, "Mom, not only are they all sold out, but many people are urging me to make more tomorrow!"

Mrs. Liu was very happy to hear this and said to her husband, "I just made some noodles. You only ate a few buns when you left, so you must be hungry now. I'll go make some noodles for you right away!"

After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen!

Li Dalang put Maomao down and took a bag of malt sugar from the cart and handed it to him: "Go and share it with the sisters!"

Then he unloaded the donkey cart and handed the reins to his daughter: "Go feed the donkey some fodder first!"

When everyone had finished packing, Liu's noodles were ready and she invited the three of them to eat.

Li Dalang was in no hurry to eat. He dumped his heavy purse on the table and said, "Mom, this is the money I earned from selling buns. Minus the hundred coins I spent on seasoning and sugar today, the rest is all here!"

Mrs. Wu counted the silver and money on the table, a total of five hundred and ten coins!

Mrs. Liu said happily, "I didn't expect that buns made from 20 kilograms of flour would sell for so much money!"

After deducting the cost of flour, tofu, and seasonings, they had made at least a hundred coins in net profit today, which made Liu very excited! She said that the tofu bun business was a good business!

Wu packed up the copper coins and handed them to Wu: "You keep this money for now. Dalang will come back every day to report the account. After a month, you must hand over 60% of the silver to me!"

When Liu heard this, she happily accepted the purse and said obediently, "It's saved by my daughter-in-law!"

Although the money still had to be handed over to the mother-in-law in the end, it was much better than the previous situation where she had no money at all. Liu now had money in her hands and was not worried!

After finishing the noodles, Li Yan said to Li Dalang, "I see that Uncle is doing very well selling buns today, so I won't go with you tomorrow!"

Today, apart from the initial panic, Li Dalang was very comfortable greeting guests afterwards. Besides, his father was there, so Li Yan had nothing to worry about!

Li Dalang nodded confidently!

The days passed like this as usual for two days, and early this morning, a few unfamiliar men came to the gate of Li's courtyard!

"Is this Li Wenzhi's home?" asked an energetic old man.

Li Erlang looked at the unfamiliar people and nodded hesitantly, "I am you. What do you want to see me about?"

The old man smiled and said, "We are from Dashi Village. My name is Shi Ping. The four people behind me are my sons and nephews. We are here to dig a well!"

"Please come in, please come in!" After saying that, Li Erlang welcomed the person into the yard!

Li Yan, who heard the noise, also came out of the room and saw several people studying her courtyard.

Li Erlang waved to his daughter and said, "Go and call your grandfather over. I'll be going to the dock soon!"

There are only three women at home, and Li Erlang is a little worried!

When Li Yan called Mr. Li over, Li Erlang was talking to the father and son of the Shi family.

"Let's put it next to the workshop. Not only is it convenient for making tofu, but it's also next to the vegetable garden, which will make it easier to water the vegetables later!" Li Erlang pointed to an empty lot.

The Shi family father and son looked in the direction Li Erlang pointed, nodded, and then got busy!

It was getting late, so Li Erlang said something to his father and hurried out.

The old man named Shi Ping was holding a rough wooden stick in his hand. He measured the size of the well mouth on the open ground, and then other people holding professional tools started digging!

Li Yan took a closer look at the tools in the hands of these people. One was a special hoe with a very short wooden handle, which was convenient for digging soil. Another was an iron rod with a pointed top. The last tool was a hanging basket tied with a rope. Li Yan thought it was probably used to transport soil.

I saw the man holding the special hoe first throwing away the soil in the yard, and as an elliptical well was dug out, the man holding the pointed iron rod loosened the hard soil at the bottom, and then dug it into the hanging basket with the hoe, and the other two people transported it to another place!

The deeper they dug, the slower their speed became. The people at the bottom would climb up from time to time to rest for a while, or take another step down!

Seeing them like this, Li Yan guessed that it was probably because the oxygen was relatively thin down there, and working intensively at the bottom of the well for a long time would be very depressing and make breathing difficult!

Li Yan looked at it curiously for a while, then went to help her aunt prepare lunch.

Maybe someone came to work at home today, so Li Yan tried to make the lunch as rich as possible!

Cabbage stewed with tofu, fried bacon, steamed eggs, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and finally a vegetable leaf egg soup.

When Li Yan went to call them to eat, every one of them was covered in mud. Their bodies, hands, faces, and even their hair were all covered in mud. It was like they had just crawled out of a pile of mud!

Shi Ping looked at the four dusty people and said embarrassedly, "This is what our job is like. We have to deal with mud all day long. Girls, where's the water? Let's wash our hands and faces first!"

At this time, Mr. Li hurriedly brought a basin of clean water for several people to wash. As soon as one person touched it, the clean water immediately became turbid. Li Yan hurriedly went to fetch water three more times before giving up!
