"Why is it so hard? I can't even chew it!"
The second son held his chin, his features scrunched up.
The third brother picked up a piece of meat in front of him, put it in his mouth, chewed it dozens of times, and swallowed it calmly, silently showing contempt for his second brother.
The second brother looked at the third brother, his face full of innocent stupidity, and asked Ruan Meng:
"Sister, is it possible that the snail meat is tender in some parts and tough in others?"
Ruan Meng explained with a smile, "The meat of cat's eye snails is indeed harder to chew than that of regular snails."
"But we're not short of food right now, so I didn't throw it away. We'll stop eating it when conditions improve!"
Upon hearing this, the second son felt a little embarrassed. He had originally planned to spit out the snail slices, but he held his chin and chewed them a dozen more times before swallowing them like medicine.
The older brother and sister-in-law chuckled to themselves. The older brother had originally intended to let his younger siblings try it, but upon hearing how bad it tasted, he decided to help them and let them eat the oysters instead.
To everyone's surprise, just as I stretched out my chopsticks, three pairs of chopsticks pressed down on me at once.
"Don't move!"
"Brother, don't eat it! It's hard to digest!"
"Big brother, have some oysters!"
The eldest sister-in-law looked at her three younger siblings and smiled with relief. She then smiled at her husband and said, "It's rare that they are so understanding. It's really hard to resist eating them, so husband, please eat the oysters and sea cucumbers!"
Ruan Zhengzheng took a bite of the sea cucumber, dipped it in the broth, and was very satisfied.
He asked Ruan Meng, "Sister, since sea cucumbers are so good, why don't you sell them? It's such a waste to eat them."
Ruan Meng explained, "Yesterday when I went to the city, I asked the herbal medicine shops, and they didn't know the effects of sea cucumber."
“In this situation, even if we recommend that they accept it, they won’t be able to sell it for a high price.”
"Instead of doing that, we should eat a small amount ourselves to help everyone get better. Once we have collected enough, we can dry it and save it for later sale."
Ruan Zheng nodded as if he understood.
Ruan Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "I've discovered that my little sister's head is full of scheming."
"I know exactly what to sell and when to sell it. As long as we follow your instructions, we can't go wrong!"
The eldest brother and sister-in-law, along with the third brother, also smiled and echoed their agreement.
Seeing this, Ruan Meng said earnestly:
"Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, third brother..."
"Since Second Brother just mentioned it, I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"
Everyone put down their chopsticks and listened attentively.
Ruan Meng analyzed, "Yesterday was just the beginning, but my elder brother and sister-in-law have also realized that there are still many places where we need to use it."
"Besides selling seafood and digging for medicinal herbs, including the oysters we made today, we will have even more ways to make money in the future."
"I told you, I would make sure my brother and sister-in-law live a good life!"
The group nodded, having no doubt about Ruan Meng's current abilities.
"In order to better manage the business, we will add more things in the future, and there will be a lot of income and expenditure every day."
"We'd better discuss the charter at the beginning so we can better understand the income and expenditure situation."
Several people nodded, and Ruan Meng suggested:
“My sister-in-law used to manage the inner quarters; she was very good at managing money and people. I suggest that she take charge of all the money.”
"It's not just about living expenses, but also future income and business profits. My sister-in-law is our head housekeeper, our 'god of wealth'!"
"Just managing the money in and out isn't enough. Big brother is smart and good at accounting. Tomorrow I'll go to town and buy some paper and pens so we can keep track of the accounts. A bad pen is worse than a good memory!"
"This is not to guard against anyone, but to make it easier to see the inflow and outflow of funds, so as to adjust expenditures or business operations."
"While we're still making a lot of money, let's establish the mechanism first and adjust it as needed. When business picks up, we'll achieve twice the results with half the effort."
The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction, while the second, third, and sister-in-law looked at Ruan Meng with somewhat bewildered expressions.
Although they knew that Ruan Meng had become smarter, they didn't expect her to become this smart.
The three of them realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly.
"good!"
Ruan Meng continued, "If everyone has no objections, let's start implementing it from today, right now. May I offer my opinion to my elder brother and sister-in-law?"
The second and third brothers chuckled to themselves.
The eldest brother's expression was genuine, and his sister-in-law suppressed a laugh, saying with a forced smile, "Little sister, you speak! I'll listen to you!"
