Shen Ningsi hurriedly helped her up.
"It seems that your family is eager to use this money, so don't be polite here."
"For these two thousand coins, I'll give you two taels of silver and four hundred copper coins. What do you think?"
"Everything is up to the county lady!"
The woman said with a happy face.
Then, Shen Ningsi took out two taels of silver and four hundred copper coins and gave them to her. After thinking for a while, he secretly stuffed another tael of silver into her hand.
The woman showed a surprised expression on her face, and when she saw the look Shen Ningsi gave her, she understood what he meant.
"Take this as a deposit for the next batch of wine. Since not many people believe grapes can be sold for money right now, ask your family to help you pick more!"
"Okay! I'll go back right away!"
The woman nodded and was about to leave when Shen Ningsi called her.
"Wait here for a moment!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Although she didn't know what the county lady was doing, the woman still waited there.
After a while, Ana Shen brought a pair of new shoes and handed them to her.
"Put on new shoes, your feet are so worn out!"
"Thank you, County Master!"
The woman was touched for a moment, then she took the shoes swiftly and changed them.
After saying a few more words of gratitude, he left in a hurry.
Not long after she left, she met villagers from Yongle Village on the road. Looking at the expression on her face, the villagers guessed that the grapes were really sold for money!
"Liu, are grapes really ten cents per pound?"
Some of the hot-tempered village women couldn't help but ask.
"Aunt, this is the two taels of silver the county lady gave me, and a few hundred copper coins. It's really ten coins per pound! I'll go home and ask my mother-in-law to pick more with me!"
Liu did not hide the fact that she was not a greedy person, and there were so many grapes on the mountain.
If she goes back and picks more, she can sell them for a lot of money.
When the villagers of Yongle Village heard her say this, they quickened their pace, fearing that if they were a step late, the county lady would no longer buy the grapes.
Shen Ningsi just stood at the door for a while, and then he saw many people walking towards this side, some carrying loads, some driving donkey carts or ox carts, and some pushing carts like the woman just now.
"Zhao Xianxing, come to life!"
Shen Ningsi shouted inside, and Zhao Xianxing came out with Ermao.
After a while, the villagers from Yongle Village arrived.
"County Lady, these are the grapes we picked!"
"County Lady, please take a look at the grapes we picked. They are all very fresh and not rotten..."
Everyone was talking at once.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll buy all the grapes you sent me!"
Shen Ningsi walked up to the villagers with a helpless look on his face, stretched out his hand and pressed it down.
When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down. As long as Shen Ningsi bought these grapes from them, it would be fine.
"Zhao Xianxing, the wine jars over there should have been disinfected. Take the other brothers and pick out these rotten grapes for me."
Since Gu Hong asked them to come, Shen Ningsi would not be hypocritical.
Just assign it as it should be.
"Okay, ma'am, it's no problem for us to handle this matter!"
After Zhao Xianxing finished speaking, he called a few brothers to pick out the rotten grapes from their carts, and Ermao weighed them on the side.
Everything was in order, everyone had a clear division of labor, and there was no delay.
"Fellow villagers, please tell us when you go back that we will stop buying grapes after noon. I will let you know when we will buy grapes next time!"
"Got it, County Master. We'll go back to the village and inform everyone in a moment!"
The villagers in Yongle Village who had already received the silver and money all had happy smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, there were so many people from Yongle Village in Wanning Village, and the villagers were all curious.
Many people could not contain their doubts and stopped the people from Yongle Village to ask questions.
“This Shen Ningsi, such a profitable thing, actually doesn’t allow us villagers in Wanning Village to do it. It’s really too much!”
When the villagers of Wanning Village heard them say this, they became furious and called their friends to rush to Shen Ningsi's house in anger!
At this moment, Shen Ningsi had just handed a string of copper coins to an old man.
He didn't believe that there would be such a thing as a free lunch, so he just went to the mountain to pick some grapes. Unexpectedly, they were only ten cents a pound!
When the villagers of Wanning Village saw the string of copper coins in the old man's hand, they all became jealous!
"Chen Ningsi, have you forgotten that you are from Wanning Village? Why did you give this opportunity to make a fortune to the people of Yongle Village?"
In the face of money, they have forgotten Shen Ningsi's identity at this moment.
Shen Ningsi happened to be free at the moment, and when he heard these villagers say this, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Why, do I still need you to tell me what to do? Could it be that I, Shen Ningsi, have let down the people of Wanning Village?"
Shen Ningsi looked at these people coldly. There are really a lot of ungrateful people in this world. No matter what you do, they always feel that you haven't done enough!
"No, it's just that we are from the same village. Selling grapes here is so valuable, why let these outsiders do it!"
An old woman said with dissatisfaction.
"You are truly greedy. I have already told you how to grow potatoes. Do you think you will still go hungry? Don't forget that before this, you had no food to eat. Now you are well fed and warm. Don't forget, all this is thanks to me, Shen Ningsi!"
Shen Ningsi looked at these people coldly.
She knew she couldn't back down. If she did, these people would definitely take advantage of her.
Human desires are endless.
"Of course we all know that all this is your credit, but as a man, you should do your best and make money by bringing the people of Wanning Village with you! These grapes are grown naturally, and they didn't do anything, yet you can sell them for ten copper coins a pound just by picking them. This is practically the same as robbery!"
As the people from Wanning Village spoke, they looked at the soldiers who were washing grapes not far away.
These piles of grapes weigh several thousand kilograms in total, which means that dozens of truckloads of grapes have been bought in just a moment!
Two taels of silver can cover a family's living expenses for a year. These dozens of taels of silver must be enough to support more than ten or twenty families!
The more the villagers of Wanning Village thought about it, the more excited their expressions became!
"Hmph, if you guys keep being so greedy, I definitely won't tell you about anything valuable I find next time! Honestly, you guys have enough food and clothing, but the villagers in Yongle Village are living in hunger and cold every day!"
