"Grandma, you also said that Sister Yilan and Sister Douqin were the people I specially invited to celebrate my birthday. If they were dressed too poorly, they would feel inferior in front of others. I don't want them to feel uncomfortable!"
"Okay, it's just a few sets of clothes. Tangtang asked the people in the farm to dig bamboo shoots and sell them in spring. How could you be reluctant to part with these clothes?"
Luo Xiangqin can be considered an open-minded old lady.
Shangshuizhuang at night
"Tangtang, can you ship out a batch of your dried bamboo shoots first?" Ye Jingxiao was sitting in Ning Xiaotang's yard. The two of them were sitting in the pavilion drinking hot plum blossom tea.
"Sure, when do you want it?" Ning Xiaotang narrowed her eyes, but thought to herself that it might be difficult to find good food in Ye Jingxiao's army. In this spring, all kinds of vegetables are just sprouting, and the cabbages from last winter are also starting to rot.
Even the white radish began to lose its sweetness.
This shows the benefits of dried bamboo shoots.
"If possible, I would like to come and deliver it tomorrow!" Ye Jingxiao said after taking a sip of tea.
"Tomorrow? You're really anxious. I'll stay up all night to have Ling Hu and the others do the inventory and prepare for loading tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll repay you in the future!" Ye Jingxiao put down the teacup and left.
Ning Xiaotang immediately gave a mischievous smile: "Return it later? What's going on?"
So when the people of Shangshui Village suddenly heard Ling Hu tell everyone tonight that they were going to load the goods onto the truck, all the male and female farmers in Shangshui Village were so excited that they were like chickens with their blood injected.
Because Ning Xiaotang said that anyone who participates in loading the truck can receive corresponding compensation after finishing loading the goods tomorrow morning!
Doesn't this arouse everyone's excitement?
Xiliu Village
Zhao Xiaoxiao said at the gate, "What's going on at Shangshui Manor? It's so late, and they're still bustling around. What's going on?"
Yuan Ke immediately said, "Miss, it seems something big happened at Shangshui Manor today. Almost no one from Shangshui Manor returned home."
Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately smiled mischievously: "Yuan Ke, go and find out what's going on!"
Yuan Ke bowed and said, "Yes, young lady!"
Yuan Ke stepped out immediately. He had to perform well.
Half an hour later, Yuan Ke returned and said, "Miss, Shangshui Manor is packing up dried bamboo shoots. It seems they have a large quantity!"
"Dried bamboo shoots? Who wants that disgusting thing?" Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately said with a wave of her hand in displeasure.
Yuan Ke immediately lowered his head, his eyes darting around: "My dear, Ning Xiaotang has earned quite a bit of money from these dried bamboo shoots?"
"Hmph, I'm a daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I disdain to associate with poor people in making a living!" Zhao Xiaoxiao looked down on the bamboo shoots dug by the poor farmers.
When Yuan Ke heard this, he immediately agreed: "Yes, Miss, you have many shops, so you won't mind this little bit of money!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately raised her head proudly and said, "Although I won't make money from these dried bamboo shoots, I can still have them burned!"
Yuan Ke's eyes immediately lit up: "Miss, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded immediately and waved for Yuan Ke to come closer. She explained her intention in a low voice, and Yuan Ke immediately took the order and left.
Yuan Ke brought several servants and ambushed on the road that must be passed through Shangshui Village.
Ning Xiaotang saw the lights on in Xiliu Village from afar, and couldn't help but think that Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't cause any trouble for her at this time.
Just as he was thinking this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Lingkong, take your men along the way and take a closer look to see if there are any problems."
Ling Kong immediately understood and said, "Yes, young lady, I promise to protect you all the way!"
When all the dried bamboo shoots were loaded into the car, Lingkong and his men led the way in front. When they left Shangshui Village, they found some oil and fire starters prepared by Yuanke and his men.
Lingkong immediately threw all the oil and fire starters into the river in front of Yuan Ke, and they floated away.
Yuan Ke was beaten like a pig's head and thrown into the river. Fortunately, several people from Xiliu Village could swim, and they all carried him to the shore.
Along the way, Lingkong led his men to escort the dried bamboo shoots to the army.
Ling Hu hurried in with a letter sent by a small carrier pigeon: "Miss, Ling Kong discovered that the people from Xiliu Village had set an ambush up ahead, but Ling Kong took care of them!"
"Let me see!" Ning Xiaotang glanced at the report in the letter and immediately smiled and said, "This Zhao Xiaoxiao is a person with no good intentions!"
Quan Yue immediately said, "Girl, you haven't slept all night. Go and get some sleep!"
"No, this account book must be recorded immediately so that the income from the first transaction of this spring can be calculated."
Ling Hu immediately said, "Yes, young lady. Ling Lang is already handling the issue of distributing copper coins to the farmers."
"Well, I have to settle the accounts."
Ning Xiaotang calculated the total number on each page of the white paper in the account and quickly figured out the total weight this time.
"A pound of dried bamboo shoots sells for one ounce of silver. There are 30,000 pounds in total, which equals 30,000 ounces of silver."
Ling Hu immediately pulled out a banknote from his pocket and said, "Young lady, you're a true fortune teller! Here's exactly thirty thousand taels of silver!"
"Well, this is the silver earned by all the people in Shangshui Village together. If it were just a few of us, we wouldn't be able to earn this much silver, so letting the farmers receive the copper coins for their goods is also a way to reward them!"
"The girl is really kind-hearted. If it were any other owner of the manor, he wouldn't give a single penny, and those farmers wouldn't dare to complain!" Ling Hu said immediately.
"There will be no complaints, but over time, the farmers are unwilling to stay here and work for the owner, because every farmer working in the manor has a family to support!"
"Our girl is really kind-hearted! She is really the best owner of the manor!" Quan Yue immediately flattered her.
"Alright, you've all worked hard all day and all night. We'll give everyone in our compound double the rewards for the entire month!"
Quan Yue immediately became excited and her eyes widened: "Double?"
"Yes, go get ready!"
"Yes, girl!" Quan Yue immediately became as excited as if it was New Year's Day, and Ling Hu also grinned.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang put the 30,000 taels of silver notes she had received into the space.
Ning Xiaotang knew that wealth should not be shown to others. Even if she made a lot of money, she would not mention it to outsiders carelessly.
At night, when Ning Xiaotang was practicing in her own space, she felt something warm and furry at her feet and immediately opened her eyes to look.
"Little white fox, you finally woke up again?"
"Master, I seem to have advanced again, but I'm so hungry now!"
"Alright, as long as you advance, my cultivation will progress even faster. Here! Here are some pills for you to eat!" Ning Xiaotang immediately placed three of the pills she had refined in front of the little white fox.
