Before dawn, Shen Cheng and Shen Yu'an went up the mountain and dug up more than 300 jin of konjac.
Shen Yu'an returned home and went to town to deliver goods without even having time to eat.
There were also dried konjac slices at home, which Zhou had prepared early in the morning, making things very convenient.
When he returned, he was beaming with joy, carrying a bulging money bag.
Suddenly, my family had money; it was like a dream.
Of course, the money was handed over to the Zhou family before they even had a chance to keep it.
We ordered 80 jin of goods today, which will take a long time to make. Shen Danru has already taught them the basic production process, and Shen Danru has also prepared the ingredients for the last step. Once it's done, they can just pour it on.
Shen Cheng, Zhou Shi, and Shen Yu'an were busy in the kitchen.
Shen Danru was teaching Shen Yuyan to write inside the house.
Shen Dashan and the other two pushed the door, but found it locked from the inside, which made them feel uneasy.
Who would lock their door in broad daylight? Has something happened?
Startled, they hurriedly knocked on the door.
Seeing that no one came to open the door, they were about to smash it open.
Just then, the door creaked open.
"An'er, where are your parents? Are they alright?"
Shen Yu'an asked with some confusion, "My three uncles, please come in. My parents are fine; they're working in the kitchen."
After the three entered, Shen Yu'an locked the door again.
Shen Dashan: "Why are you locking the door in broad daylight? I heard that you can't even afford to eat, so you dug up devil's taro from the mountain to eat. That stuff is poisonous. Are you out of your minds?"
Shen Yu'an said in a low voice, "My three uncles, please come inside and talk."
This method of making money must not be revealed to outsiders. After all, anyone can dig up the taro on the mountain. If everyone digs it up, how will they make money?
The three followed them into the kitchen and then understood that a secret recipe had been used to remove the toxins from the konjac, resulting in delicious konjac desserts.
The three of them tried it, and it was really delicious.
Xu Shu asked, "Brother Cheng, is this really made from devil's taro?"
"Genuine or genuine."
"This is really delicious. No wonder the village is saying that your family goes up the mountain to dig up taro every day. It turns out that you dig up so much taro to make money. The people who spread the rumors are stupid."
"If you three want to make money with me, I'll tell you how."
After all, the three of them had grown up with Shen Cheng since childhood, and they had been loyal to him when this incident happened. So, when Shen Cheng found a way to make money, he was naturally very generous.
Zhao Yong said, "Chengzi, that won't do. This is Ru'er's idea. You call me brother, how can I compete with you for food? We came here today because we were worried about you. As long as you're alright, that's good. I'm happy for you if you can make money."
The three brothers grew up together, sharing a pair of pants. When one of them does well, the other three are genuinely happy for him, without a trace of jealousy.
Therefore, even if Shen Cheng makes money, he wants to bring them along.
"Here's what we'll do for you. There are a lot of people ordering from town, but we only have a limited number of people to do the work at home. If you have time, go up the mountain and dig up some devil's tongue. It's only one coin per pound."
Upon hearing this, the three men's eyes lit up. If they dug up 300 jin, that would be 300 wen, which was more than they could earn in ten days of work in town.
After a few more words, Shen Yu'an told them the location of the devil's tongue on the mountain. The three of them didn't dare to stay any longer and went home to get their tools.
After Shen Danru finished teaching today's lesson, she also came out to help.
"Ru'er, you don't need to do anything here. Go back to your room and rest. Your father, your older brother, and I can handle things here."
Madam Zhou also felt sorry for Shen Danru. This girl had been served by maids and servants since she was a child, and someone would dress her and comb her hair when she got up. It was one thing for her to suffer with them in the countryside, but why should she keep making her suffer?
"Mother, I'm not tired."
Shen Cheng: "If your mother tells you to rest, then rest."
"Second sister, listen to your parents. Your eldest brother is here. He's very strong. Why don't you go and help Yuyan practice calligraphy?"
Shen Yu'an was working with great enthusiasm. This was much easier than carrying heavy loads at the dock, and he could earn more than three taels of silver a day. The more he thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became.
The kitchen itself wasn't very big, and Shen Danru suddenly felt superfluous, as it seemed she couldn't do much work there, so she went back to her room.
After being busy for the past few days, Shen Danru is still a little unaccustomed to suddenly having free time.
Once the villagers know that they dug up konjac to sell for money, everyone will definitely go up the mountain to dig it up.
The amount of konjac on the mountain is limited, and it will be harvested sooner or later.
Should we research making other foods and sell them in town?
"System, system, what have you been doing lately? You haven't been giving me any tasks."
Shen Danru couldn't help but shout.
"Wouldn't it be better to rest for a few days?"
"Rest my foot! Don't you know I have to support this family? You haven't responded for so many days, I thought you had entered hibernation."
"Host, what good will it do you if I put you into hibernation? Don't forget you still need my help."
"Hmph, we're just using each other, okay? I do the quests and you level up, which benefits you too. This way, I can go back to the modern world and live a carefree life. It's a win-win situation."
"Alright then, you win."
The system suddenly became good-natured and didn't argue with her, which made Shen Danru feel a little unaccustomed to it.
[Ding ding, a new system task is in progress. Please check your system. Make and sell a type of braised food. Once you sell over one hundred servings, the task is complete.]
Making braised food?
Shen Danru searched the mall and found the secret ingredients for making braised food; what she was missing was meat.
The next day, when Shen Yu'an delivered goods, he brought back thirty catties of pork belly.
If it's your first time making it, don't make too much; test the waters first.
As the pot lid was lifted, the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire house, whetting the appetite and making one's mouth water.
Shen Yuyan sniffed: "Second sister, second sister, this meat smells so good, it's making my guts come out."
Shen Danru rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a glutton."
Shen Yuyan smiled.
My second sister's meat is so delicious, anyone would be tempted.
"Don't eat yet. Go and ask your older brother to bring some back to the neighbors. Your second sister will cut it into big pieces for you."
Upon hearing that her second sister had cut the food into large pieces, Shen Yuyan nodded hurriedly and ran off to call for her eldest brother.
Chen Danru took out several pieces, weighing nearly ten pounds, and divided them into more than twenty portions, which he had his eldest brother and third brother deliver to the villagers who had helped his family last time.
This includes the village head, the clan chief, and the three old men from the Shen family.
Although there wasn't much meat, it was a token of their family's affection.
After the family split up, Shen Cheng's family lived happily together, while Old Shen's family did not.
It's dinnertime now, and no one's cooking.
The eldest son promotes the third son, and the third son promotes the eldest son.
Chen was so angry that she started cursing loudly in the courtyard.
"You two lazy bums, you lowly bastards, are you trying to starve me to death? I need to eat, I need to eat! If I starve to death, I won't let you get away with it!"
Every day since Zhou left, no one has been washing clothes, no one has been weeding in the fields, and no one has been feeding the chickens, ducks, and pigs. Now, no one is even cooking for them.
