Jin Dashan immediately leaned closer: "You're a renowned student? How can you say that?"
The student then lowered his head: "No, my relative works at Shengming Academy. He said very clearly that there is a Mr. Huang who requires gifts. If you don't give him a gift, he won't even open his mouth to teach you. This is the truth, I am not lying."
Jin Dashan was confused. He had to make this clear, otherwise, how could Shengming Academy recruit students with such a reputation?
Jin Dashan's first lesson was about etiquette, because someone was affecting the reputation of Shengming Academy, and he had to figure this out.
Zhao Heng, also a student at Shengming Academy, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That person is right. Shengming Academy does indeed have such a teacher. As for whether he accepted gifts from students, I need to go back and verify that with my father when I have time."
Liang Shuyan's family was extremely busy. Jin Sanwang drove his donkey cart back from town and said as soon as he entered the door, "Mother, Manager Yu said that the cold noodles are going to be delivered in larger quantities, and he guarantees that they can be delivered twice a day. I heard that Manager Yu also owns a restaurant in the capital, and the business is very good. Manager Yu was all smiles, but he only said that he would raise the price for us, but he didn't say how the price would be raised."
Liang Shuyan knew that this shopkeeper Yu had expanded his business to the capital, where the price of liangfen (cold mung bean jelly) was much higher than in the town. This showed that he was still unwilling to raise the price of her family's liangfen, or perhaps he had already obtained the recipe for liangfen and was therefore going to the capital.
“We agreed on a price of eight copper coins per bowl before, but now that he wants to sell the jelly in the capital, it’s impossible for him to send our jelly all the way to the capital. How about this, we’ll send it over first thing tomorrow morning and tell Manager Yu that our tea workshop is open and we don’t have time to make jelly. Let’s see what he says.”
The jelly business still has a future. It can't be like a monkey picking mushrooms, losing one thing after another. She must make the jelly business bigger and stronger. She finally developed the jelly, how can she let others sell it cheaply? It seems that she must come up with a plan to open a jelly shop in the capital and send Zhang to the capital, which will also be a good opportunity for her to gain experience.
Right now, the wheat in the fields is ripe and ready for harvest. Many people have been longing for this little bit of food ever since they fled the famine.
However, Liang Shuyan received the following forecast in the system: "Host, something bad has happened. There will be rain for the next two weeks, and it will be torrential rain, a rare torrential rain, which may cause mudslides!"
The system wouldn't scare her for no reason, so Liang Shuyan had to tell Li Zheng about this so that they could take precautions in advance. But there were no weather forecasts in ancient times, so how could she convince people that she wasn't just making things up?
People in ancient times didn't have weather forecasts, but they knew how to observe celestial phenomena. By the way, they said they learned about it by chance from a fortune teller. Presumably, Li Zheng would believe it and lead everyone to harvest the grain quickly. Harvesting grain is fine, but what if there is a flood, and his home happens to be at the foot of Daling Mountain? What should he do then?
With no other option, they had to seek help from the system. The system replied, "Harvest the wheat first and incorporate it into the system. When the system is upgraded, your whole family will have nowhere to go!"
"Hey, there are so many people in Daling Village, I can't just think of myself. You can't be so selfish!"
Liang Shuyan searched in vain and found nothing. Feeling dejected, she tried to figure out how to deal with the situation on her own.
Lord Lizheng, having somehow obtained the news, hurriedly came to Liang Shuyan's house to discuss the matter with her.
"Grandma Mountain, I heard it's going to rain heavily these next few days. What are we going to do? The wheat harvest is almost here. If a heavy rain comes, will we go hungry again for the whole year?"
Li Zheng is the backbone of the village. Sitting on the bench in front of Liang Shuyan, his aged face cannot be concealed, and the sickle-like wrinkles have become even deeper.
The system didn't say anything, but it had a shop where you could buy books. The books would always mention it, so she quickly bought several books from the system, all about dealing with flood disasters.
In the kitchen, Liang Shuyan prepared some food to cook a good meal for the family. Although she was a little busy, she made sure the food was good so that the children wouldn't get enough nutrition.
Jin Dashan came out of the school and went to Liang Shuyan's side, asking in a low voice, "Mother, how much silver did we spend on all these work sheds in total?"
“Not much. As soon as our tea workshop opens and we make money, we’re ready to build a new house. With so many people in the family, it’s not good to always be so cramped and cramped.”
Her current home is at the foot of Daling Mountain. If there is a flood, wouldn't her family be the first to suffer?
So she decided that if the tea workshop business improved, she would first build a house on the open space in the middle of the village. She would plan the specific construction plans in advance, but that was a matter for later.
Jin Dashan taught things in the school that had nothing to do with arithmetic. Liang Shuyan wanted the children to learn how to do arithmetic, and accounting was an important skill. So, she decided to entrust these children to Mr. Su first and let him teach them arithmetic.
Ruyan, Granny Liu, and their own grandmother also came over.
"Ruyan, you will be in charge of managing the material disbursement for the work shed. Remember, you must keep a clear record of the quantities. As for the accounting, I will take care of it whenever I have time!"
Grandma Liu said with a smile, "My dear in-law, just arrange some rough work for me. I don't know how to do any other delicate or skillful work!"
"You'll be in charge of steaming the ground peppers. It's a simple job. I'll buy two large steamers from town, and you'll be responsible for steaming the ground peppers here."
Grandma Jin coughed and said, "What about me? You can't just leave your old mother idle!"
"Mom, this crucial step is for you: stir-frying the ground peppers. It's not hard work, but you need to stir it a bit, so you'll need to use a little more strength. Or should I ask Sanwang to help you?"
Grandma Jin waved her hand: "No need, what do you take your mother for? This little task is no problem for me. Remember it."
Aunt Liu's husband was in charge of buying wild peppers, because during this time, he had to dry large piles of wild peppers, pack them into sacks, and prevent them from getting moldy, which was also physically demanding work.
Chunyan, Jinxia, and Yinxia can all be packaged. The packaging bags are paper bags that Liang Shuyan bought from the system, but she had Dashan write her workshop's name on the outside.
There is still a shortage of people for baking and packing, and suitable people have not yet been recruited. Liang Shuyan is thinking that she can recruit people after the wheat is harvested.
Inside the martial arts school, Jin Erniu handed a bowl of thin porridge to Liu Shi: "Here, have some. You insisted on coming to the martial arts school, which is full of men. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock for a pregnant woman like you to come here?"
