Chapter 166 A New Idea



Looking at the heavy silver in his purse, Tang Youyou wanted to laugh out loud.

"Sister, thank you so much!"

Li burped, feeling extremely embarrassed. "Haha...it's really delicious!"

"Sister, do you like mushrooms?"

Li nodded. "This tastes unique and very fresh and smooth. It's quite good..."

"Sister, you like it! I'll send you some every other day. You can eat it cold, stir-fried, or even coated in batter and fried!"

Li suddenly had an idea. "Sister, do you think it's okay to put this thing in the teahouse?"

"This batter-coated thing is fine when fried, but it won't be crispy when it gets cold! The taste will definitely be greatly reduced!"

Li's lips curled up, "It's not a big deal. Bring some to the event and promote it!"

Tang Youyou's eyes lit up. Yes, in addition to scholars and students, this teahouse also has many wealthy masters. Isn't this a great opportunity for publicity?

The two chatted about some promotional details, and an hour later, a stack of brochures was delivered to every household and academy!

It was already the end of the afternoon when Tang Youyou returned home, and the sound of "dong dong dong" of a gong could be heard.

The people who were still clearing the land were shocked.

"Get your weapons!"

At this time, Tang Youyou shouted, "Come to the greenhouse!"

Everyone thought someone was stealing their vegetables, so they ran away with their farm tools.

When they arrived at the greenhouse, they saw Tang Youyou and the village chief sitting on stools, looking very happy.

"Village chief, what's going on? Where are the people?"

"Who is it? I have great news..."

Everyone looked at each other, only to see Tang Youyou pour all the silver into the bamboo basket.

"Ahem...this vegetable is 200 wen per jin. I sold 260 jin today!"

Everyone was so surprised that some people even jumped twice to reproduce the scene.

“Heavenly Bodhisattva… Sister, you are amazing. This dish actually sold for a sky-high price!”

"Two hundred coins per pound! I've never sold this vegetable for so much in all my years of farming!"

"No need to be afraid of winter now!"

The village chief stroked his beard, his eyes full of smiles. "We've already agreed that everyone will take turns looking after the greenhouse from now on. Don't be careless! The delivery of the vegetables will be handed over to the brothers Tang Wen and Tang Wu!"

Tang Youyou looked at the straw sandals and thin clothes on everyone's feet and sighed, "I'll use this money today to buy shoes and quilts for everyone!"

You have to buy it in the mall. After all, it is much cheaper. If you talk nicely to the system, it might agree.

The system heard her thoughts, rolled its eyes, and silently increased the permissions for quilts, shoes, and cloth.

【Don't try to disturb my sleep! 】

The villagers were all deeply moved and expressed their gratitude.

They were very envious of the lobby that came later, but they could only envy it.

Tang Youyou naturally discovered it, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his head, "Da Hall, the ones you came with have all been planted in the greenhouse, so I can't share them with you! But don't worry, I have another kind of vegetable to give you!"

In the lobby, people were trembling and a man actually cried in public.

"Look at you, this is a good thing, you grown man are still crying!" Butcher Zhang nudged him with his elbow.

Then he looked at Tang Youyou with a playful smile: "Sister, what's the dish?"

Everyone: "..."

The village chief coughed twice and said, "Everyone, hurry up and clean up the vegetables. They need to be delivered tomorrow morning!"

Tang Youyou reminded: "Cut more leeks! Put ten pounds of mushrooms and leeks in a small basket, so it's easier to divide..."

Everyone quickly got busy according to her requirements.

The people in the lobby stood there awkwardly, wanting to help but feeling embarrassed.

Tang Youyou waved her hand, "Don't be envious, I will teach you how to grow this vegetable tomorrow!"

"Thank you, sister!"

She looked at the honest man, sighed slightly, and said nothing more.

The next day, all the prefectures received neatly packed leeks and oyster mushrooms and were very satisfied.

"Sister, these dishes are all neatly arranged, it makes me feel really good!"

Tang Youyou slowly approached, "Sister, this leek and egg pancake is delicious too! Give your brother-in-law a little less, otherwise you won't be able to handle it at night..."

The woman's eyes curved with laughter. "Don't worry, I have a wide circle of friends. If it really works, I will promote it well for you!"

Hearing this, she smiled brightly, "Thank you for your kindness, sister!"

Tang Wen felt a little emotional as he watched her chatting and laughing with the noble lady.

"Brother, have you noticed that my sister seems to be very popular with women?"

Tang Wen pouted, "Sister said that's called high emotional intelligence, and being able to talk! In the future, when we come to deliver food and interact with people, we must learn more!"

Tang Wen remained silent and fell into deep thought.

"Brother! What are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded!"

Tang Wen scratched his head and said, "Sister, I'm wondering how we can record the quantity and location when we come to deliver food in the future!"

Tang Youyou raised her eyebrows, "Learn to read! Did you see that? Li Mansion, Ji Mansion, Zhang Mansion..."

Tang Wen was even more embarrassed. "I'm already 34 years old. Can I read? I'm already past the age of enlightenment!"

"Brother, learning is lifelong. You know your shortcomings, so why don't you try to make up for them? Learn one character a day, and you can recognize over 300 characters in a year! Accumulate slowly!"

Tang Wu agreed very much. "That's right, I can write my own name now! Big brother, are you afraid that others will laugh at you? We are using our free time to learn to read, not to pass the imperial examinations. This is something we learned in our own heads, so who would laugh at us?"

Seeing that Tang Youyou didn't refute him, he continued to persuade her: "Besides, we now have the opportunity to learn to read. I don't know how many people in the village envy us. Don't worry about it. I don't want to be illiterate. Let's work hard in silence and make a big splash when the time comes!"

Tang Youyou raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at him with appreciation, "Brother, you're right! Now I'm studying with Master Lin, and I'll teach you ten characters every ten days! You can also teach them to the children! When we have money, the children will all go to school!"

Tang Wen's heart was filled with emotion. Her sister always thought long-term. She looked at her gratefully, "You're right. I've been too self-conscious. I must set a good example for the children!"

Tang Youyou handed over two taels of silver, "Brother, you and Tang Wen go buy soybeans. Remember to buy good quality ones! Buy as many as you can!"

Tang Wen took the silver without asking any questions and left.

Tang Youyou came out of the city, drove the ox cart into the woods nearby, looked around, and started buying things frantically.

Shoes, cotton, cloth, half a cart full of stuff, only cost a little over five taels of silver.

She couldn't help but thank the system profusely, as it saved her twice as much money.

When Tang Wen and his men arrived, they were all stunned, but they were smart enough not to ask anything.

"Sister, three cents a pound, I bargained and bought 700 pounds!"

Tang Wu couldn't help but ask: "Sister, are we going to make tofu?" Otherwise, why buy so many beans?

Tang Youyou grinned, "The hermit has his own clever plan, you will understand it later!"
