Chapter 315: Letter from the City
After all the potatoes were collected, the Wan family had no space to store so many potatoes.
Wan Lao Er could only borrow the Wan Xing Mo family's house where Yu family lived next door.
Moreover, these potatoes are related to the future life of the Yu family of three, so the Wan family can feel at ease if they are placed in the yard next door.
"Second brother, now that the potatoes have been harvested, what are you going to do next? What are your ideas?"
"Mom, I plan to ask the village chief to buy a piece of land, build a workshop, and then hire people to do it. We also need to buy vats. We need at least 20 vats."
Old Lady Wan was a little worried. "If your relatives do it, what if they leak the secret of the recipe? Have you ever thought about it, and the recipe is sold before we can make money from it?"
Of course Wan Laoer had thought about it, so he wanted to sign contracts with those who came to work.
"Mom, I've thought about all this. This is the first year that only our family makes money. Others will definitely be jealous, so I want to sign a contract. When everyone makes money next year, do you think anyone will spread the money they make? And even if they know the process of making flour, they don't know how to use the flour, and what delicious food can be made with it."
"Making noodles is the first step. The key is how to make noodles into a profitable business. They definitely can't do that. If they sell all the noodles to our family, we will be the only one in this border. The interests of our entire village are tied together. I don't believe that anyone will give away the money they have earned. Even if someone is willing to do so, others will not agree."
Wan Laoer seemed to suddenly come to his senses and understood everything very clearly.
Old Mrs. Wan felt that Old Second Wan had grown a lot during this period and was no longer a farmer who only knew how to farm.
The Wan family hired someone to buy a foundation and build a workshop, and it was completed in less than five days. It was located in the open space opposite the Wan family, which made it more convenient to use water and other things.
There is another reason why Wan Laoer dared to do this, that is, his family has a well and water can be used freely. Not every family has this condition.
On the day the workshop was completed, the Wan family received a letter from the provincial capital.
"Jinzhu, your family's letter was sent from the city."
Jinniu came to Wan Laoer with a letter and started shouting towards the workshop at the door.
Wan Laoer was asking the hired people to help move the large-mouthed jars he had purchased into the workshop.
Hearing this, he quickly dusted off his hands and walked out.
"The village chief is here."
"Jinzhu, your letter was sent from the city. Please take a look. Is there something wrong? I didn't expect you know someone in the city. You are really capable."
Taurus patted Wan Laoer's shoulder enviously.
Wan Laoer was wondering who sent the letter from the city?
He only knew Shen Qinghan and Qiu Shi among the people in the prefecture, but Qiu Shi had already moved. Could it be that they wrote to tell him about the move? But it had been several months since the move, so it was unlikely that they would write to him now.
Wan Laoer thanked the village chief, and the two exchanged a few more words. The village chief ran across to see the workshop. This was the first workshop in their area of villages, and it was the honor of their Shizi Village.
Wan Laoer returned to the yard with the letter.
He found Wan Ersao and Wan Laotai and opened the letter.
After reading the letter, Wan Laoer was shocked. Before he read the content of the letter, he saw a portrait.
Exactly the same one as the one from a year ago.
"Mom, this...isn't this the portrait of Fu Bao from last year? It's only been a year, how come it appears again?"
Old Mrs. Wan was drinking water. When she heard this, she was so scared that the cup in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"What? How is it possible? The Kingdom of Yue discovered it so quickly?" Old Mrs. Wan's cloudy eyes widened.
Mrs. Wan Er snatched it away anxiously and looked at the portrait of Xiao Fubao carefully. It was indeed the same as last year's.
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
Wan Ersao was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes.
Wan Lao Er didn't know what to do at this time. The person who helped them solve the problem last time was Wan Xingmo, and now they didn't know where Wan Xingmo had gone? And even if they knew where Wan Xingmo was, it would not quench their thirst.
"Isn't there still a letter? Take it out and have a look."
Suddenly, Mrs. Wan noticed that Wan Laoer was holding a piece of letter in his other hand, and she hurriedly urged Wan Laoer to read it.
Wan Laoer also unfolded the letter with trembling hands and finally saw the handwriting on it clearly.
The letter was not long, but just a few sentences explained the reason of the matter.
It turned out that the letter was sent by Shen Qinghan. A month ago, he went to the interior of the country and found a portrait of Xiao Fubao in a city there. He had seen Xiao Fubao's appearance when she was a child, and he recognized at a glance that the little girl in the portrait was Xiao Fubao.
When he saw that it was a missing person notice with a very high reward, he asked Jiang Hu to bring the portrait back secretly, and sent the letter back before Jiang Hu came back.
It was also to remind Wan Laoer that someone was looking for Xiao Fubao. He remembered that Xiao Fubao's portrait appeared in the town once last year, but it disappeared soon after. He didn't care about it, but it appeared again this time. He didn't know whose child Xiao Fubao was, but he knew that the Wan family would not harm Xiao Fubao.
After listening to the letter, Old Lady Wan quickly bowed in the direction of the prefectural city, and kept saying thank you: "Thank you, Boss Shen, thank you, Boss Shen."
Wan Lao Er has calmed down now. He gently patted Wan Er's wife on the shoulder and said to Wan Lao Tai, "Mom, I think the fake Fu Bao that Mo Er brought to Yue State must have been exposed. It did not bring any blessings to Yue State. Yue State's national teacher should not be a pushover. We underestimated his strength. After all, he is a member of the royal family. What we need to do now is to hide little Fu Bao or move him to a place where people have never seen what little Fu Bao looked like when he was a child."
Wan Ersao raised her head quickly and said, "Yes, move, move back to the interior of the country, buy a yard in the town, hide Xiao Fubao there, and no one will find him. I don't believe that the people of Yue dare to come to our Great Qi to rob people."
Old Lady Wan shook her head. "No, this is unfair to little Fubao. What's the difference between hiding her and letting her go back to Yue and be locked up in the palace? I believe that it's fate that little Fubao can come to us. We don't need to be too anxious now. Let's wait and see how this matter develops. Don't panic."
"But with Boss Shen's reminder, we can prepare early. We won't go to the capital city anymore. In two years, even the people in the village will forget what Xiao Fubao looks like. After all, this is not Yue State, but Da Qi. If the people of Yue State want to find someone in Da Qi, they will definitely be restrained. This is our advantage."
After hearing what Old Mrs. Wan said, she was no longer panicked and comforted Second Sister-in-law Wan a little.
"Let's keep this a secret for now. Second brother, quickly destroy this portrait and the letter. Don't let anyone find out. Just pretend this incident never happened. Fubao is three years old now, and the portrait shows him when he was one year old. Not everyone will remember it."
Wan Laoer destroyed the letter quickly, but he was worried for the next few days. He was absent-minded and even had no interest in running the workshop.
Old Mrs. Wan was afraid that Old Mr. Wan would delay the work of the workshop, so she asked him to hand it over to Er Gouzi.
