Zhao Taohua had already prepared the deed and placed it on a makeshift table. She said, "You'd better think carefully. It's ten taels of silver."
"We have thought about it. My Li family has risen to prominence thanks to Sister Taohua. If I can't trust anyone else, how can I not trust you?" Li Niu said with a smile.
"It's just that my husband and I are not very literate. What does this deed say?"
Zhao Taohua immediately asked Xue Jinyu, who could read, to read it to everyone, and those who thought it made sense nodded.
Li Niu and his wife nodded, took out the silver immediately and pressed their fingerprints on the deed.
Not wanting to be left behind, Chen Dayou signed a deed for ten taels of silver and immediately went home with his brother to get the money.
"I also..."
Some people followed behind, but the first ones to follow were almost all those who were qualified to set up stalls selling braised meat in the county town. These families had made money and tasted the sweetness of the Zhao family, so they were naturally willing to invest first.
Song Mao, the eldest son of the head of Songli, was also among those who enjoyed the braised meat.
At this moment, Song Mao and his younger brother also received a share, and Zhao Taohua, the village head, privately gave one share, so the Song family owned three shares.
Zhao Taohua naturally saw the situation clearly and said immediately, "Fellow villagers, I know you are still a little hesitant. After all, my Zhao family used to be a poor family in Hexi Village. Now that we have suddenly made money and built a tiled house, it is inevitable that our foundation is shallow. So I will allow you three days to consider it. After three days, this matter will be settled. How do you think?"
Zhao Taohua's words have two meanings. First, to give those who are considering it a way out. Second, to tell them that even the poorest of us are making money, so why don't you follow suit?
Of course, there are also people who don’t understand what is being said.
"Who knows if you were just pretending before and are now deceiving us?"
A disdainful voice said.
Zhao Taohua took a closer look and found that it was an acquaintance, Zhang Dayong. Zhang Dayong looked at Zhao Taohua and felt her heart beating.
But he didn't want to lose in terms of momentum, and continued to shout: "Think about it, everyone, making money has been a secret since ancient times. How could anyone make money together with everyone in such a big way? In this world, there is no such person. It's clearly a scam. Your ten taels of silver are your life and property. If you are cheated by the Zhao family, you will cry..."
"Yes, ten taels of silver..."
Someone agreed cautiously.
Zhao Taohua almost died of laughter. It turned out that in the eyes of selfish people, everyone is selfish. Of course, she is selfish too.
"So, when I revealed the secret recipe for ice jelly that day, it was all just a show?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone remembered what happened in the summer, which happened not long ago.
"That's because your Zhao family is making a killing, so they're willing to reveal it publicly... and they can't hide it anymore. It's that simple. You're afraid of retaliation from the restaurant if you sell it for a hundred taels, right? Don't think we're all fools."
Zhang Dayong continued, saying that he only realized these problems later. The Zhao family was simply putting on a show to win people's hearts. The whole village was fooled by them.
"Otherwise, why don't you disclose your secret recipe for braised pork? If you disclose your secret recipe for braised pork, I will believe what you say is true."
Zhang Dayong said, while greedy thoughts flashed through his mind. If the Zhao family made public the secret recipe of braised meat, he would immediately take the secret recipe to another county to open a shop and go far away.
