The next day, Gu Nian sent Gu Xin and Gu Si to the city to recruit people to make sweet potato noodles.
This time, there is a huge demand.
Uncle Gu has planted a lot of sweet potatoes in Chunnan City. Due to the climate, he has already planted the second batch, which will be ready for harvest in the first half of next year.
Last night, they calculated how many servings of sweet potato noodles the restaurant would supply each day, and Gu Xin also roughly calculated how many sweet potatoes were needed based on demand.
Uncle Gu, being rather mischievous, whispered to the old man and the children, "If we make Kunzhou a success, are we afraid no one will come? As for that gluttonous king of Jin Nanguo, we'll make him surrender with delicious food!"
Apart from Gu Xin, everyone else gave Uncle Gu a disdainful look.
Gu Xin snapped her fingers: "Uncle, you have a bright future! When King Jin Nan surrenders because of the delicious food, I will definitely tell the Emperor and Great-Grandma about your foresight!"
Gu Nian: ...Sister, you know what, now that you mention it, Uncle is actually quite accurate.
Gu Xin and Gu Si walked around the city and discovered that, well, many people in the city had already made money because their families had work to do.
What should we do?
As the two sisters walked, they encountered Hua Shiyi Niang, the madam of Jieyou Pavilion.
Now, Jieyou Pavilion is no longer a brothel; it's a large dance troupe with performances every other day, and its customers come from the Great Zhou and neighboring countries.
This year, Hua Shiyi Niang took in two more girls who had been sold by their families. When the families saw that the girls were singers and dancers, they realized that they didn't sell themselves, so they decided to keep them there, as it was better than going back.
Hua Shiyi Niang was very grateful to the Gu family, so when she saw the two Gu family girls dressed as men, she took the initiative to go up and greet them.
Gu Xin and Gu Si looked sullen, so Hua Shiyi Niang couldn't help but ask them what had happened.
Gu Xin said that they wanted to hire workers, but they couldn't find any. Everyone in Kuncheng had something to do.
Hua Shiyi Niang comforted the two women, telling them to take their time, and if things really didn't work out, she would send someone to Cizhou to find workers.
Now that the official road is repaired and there are even post stations, and the safety measures on the road are acceptable, if the wages are reasonable, and with the New Year approaching, someone should come to earn this money.
Gu Xin and Gu Si thought about it and agreed. Now that everyone at home was busy with other things, they couldn't spare anyone else, so they had to look for someone.
The closest ones are from Cizhou.
Back then, it took them seven days to reach Kuncheng after passing through Cizhou, but now that the road has been repaired, it is said that it will only take four days to get there.
After saying goodbye to Hua Shiyi Niang, Gu Xin went home and told Gu Shouxin about it.
They sent people there, but the people there probably thought they were scammers and wouldn't want to come. But if Gu Shouxin took the warrant and told the officials in Cizhou, and the government issued a notice, then it would be a different story.
Gu Shouxin naturally supported his daughter and immediately instructed Hu Liang to send someone to the yamen of Cizhou, the closest prefecture to Kunzhou.
While waiting for them, Gu Xin and Gu Si either went to Gu Nian's lab or stayed home writing and drawing.
For some reason, one day the two of them started talking about Hua Shiyi Niang and Jieyou Pavilion, and as they talked, they ended up discussing clothing.
Since the two had nothing better to do, they started drawing pictures of clothes that were both warm and stylish.
They often went to the food street and were quite familiar with the clothing of people from the five neighboring countries. They even drew some styles based on their customs.
The two accounting girls were obsessed with money. Well, the money in the pockets of the people from the five neighboring countries was beckoning to them again, especially the girls from the Goddess Kingdom.
