Upon hearing Luo Yunhe's request, Sister Qiu immediately nodded, agreeing to take care of all the work. She quickly found people, selected two pigs, and slaughtered them. Luo Yunhe then had someone collect the pig's blood into a basin.
I also sold seven or eight pigs.
Each pig weighed about 400 catties, and selling 8 pigs would generate about 32 taels of silver.
Luo Yunhe looked at the 32 taels of silver she had received and smiled helplessly. If these 8 pigs were sold in the 21st century, they could fetch at least tens of thousands of yuan.
After slaughtering two pigs, Luo Yunhe also prepared a lot of vegetables and found two old women to cook a large pot of food for the workers.
Because it was cooked outdoors, the aroma of the meat wafted throughout the entire village, startling everyone present.
They gave some to the village chief, Qiu Ge took some back with him, and Luo Yunhe gave half a pig to the people in the village.
When the villagers saw that Luo Yunhe had sold so many pigs and even slaughtered two of them, they were all incredibly envious.
So, when the villagers of Yue Shang Village weren't working, they would stand far away at the edge of those ten acres of land and watch them work.
The workers were happy to receive such a plentiful meal, which boosted their morale and enthusiasm.
Luo Yunhe took all the pig offal with her.
After washing it repeatedly, even using soot from the bottom of the pot to clean some of the large intestines, until there were no more stains, it was put into a large pot to simmer.
It also contained a variety of ingredients and was stewed for a long time until the aroma spread.
This once again whetted the villagers' appetites.
The wealthy were alright; they would take some money to buy a couple of pieces of meat from him. The poor, on the other hand, stood on the edge, not only envious but also cursing under their breath.
Luo Yunhe showed no mercy to those who tried to take advantage of her.
After all, while his pork was delicious, it wasn't something that came out of thin air; it was all raised slowly and carefully. The herbs he redeemed with points played a huge role, but he couldn't tell anyone else about it.
What he's thinking about now is how Su Jingxuan is doing outside. Is he eating and dressing well?
When I went to town again, I asked the manager of the Treasure Pavilion to inquire about the border war.
After all, it's been almost a year since Su Jingxuan left, and we don't know how he is doing now.
Everything is in progress.
Time flies by like the wind.
In the blink of an eye, heavy snow fell. In December, snow filled the sky, and the white snow covered the earth as if it were a thick blanket.
Construction has been halted.
The vineyards are closed, and every household has begun preparing for winter.
Qiu Ge and Qiu Saozi gathered a large amount of straw, turned it into straw mats, and maintained the sheepfold and pigsty once again.
Since it's winter and we can't plant grass anymore, Luo Yunhe plans to plant some sweet potatoes in this field next year.
Sweet potatoes can be used to make sweet potato fries, and even the pulp can be fed to pigs, making it a win-win situation.
This winter, Luo Yunhe brewed a large quantity of Emperor's Smile wine.
Although the orders he had previously sent out had reduced his wine supply significantly, he replenished the wine from other locations over time, and it all settled in the warehouse.
Because he brewed a lot of wine, he didn't rest even on this snowy day; he would occasionally fill some bottles and take them to town to sell.
At first, he tried to make some money selling alcohol in town, but it wasn't very successful.
However, after he was given the name of the Luo Family Winery and the champion's certificate...
The townspeople all came to him to buy wine.
Gradually, her fame spread throughout the town by word of mouth, and she quickly became famous.
Therefore, every time Luo Yunhe hauled a small portion of wine, he would sell it all off as quickly as possible.
After all, it's a top-rated winery, and each bottle of wine from Luo Yunhe starts at one tael of silver.
Although the price was a bit high, the wine tasted absolutely delicious and was loved by everyone, so it sold extremely well. This made other ordinary restaurants furious when they saw this, but they couldn't offer any better wine to compare with the other restaurant.
Ordinary people who couldn't afford his one or two taels of silver for a pot of wine would buy some ordinary wine instead.
Luo Yunhe didn't care about this.
In one winter, Luo Yunhe sold over a thousand jugs of his own wine.
"Boss Luo, why don't you open a store in town? Find someone to help you manage it, wouldn't that be faster?" Manager Zhenbao couldn't stand Luo Yunhe setting up a roadside stall with a cart full of wine every day.
After all, he might become a tribute wine merchant in the future, and if he continues to set up a stall like this, it would indeed be a bit beneath his dignity.
Luo Yunhe had already made plans. All he needed to do now was to build his reputation first. As for opening a shop in town, he had already made preparations.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I have a plan for this!"
He knew better than anyone how expensive the shop rents were in town; he wanted to buy the shops, but even then, the owners might not sell to him.
Moreover, he recently inquired and found out that the shops in the best locations in town would not be sold to him, so only shops in less desirable locations were available, but even those in less desirable locations were very expensive.
He wouldn't buy a shop for 200 taels of silver no matter what, even though buying 12 mu of land would cost less than 100 taels of silver. Let alone asking him to spend 200 taels of silver to buy a shop.
However, there is one shop that has never had an owner. He has been inquiring about the owner behind the shop, but no one knows where the owner is.
So, Luo Yunhe went to the yamen (government office).
And every shop in every household was registered with the government office.
The news of Luo Yunhe and his efforts to bring glory to An'nan Town had already spread throughout the government office, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic when they saw him come again.
"Mr. Luo, are you referring to the shop at the very edge of the east end?"
"Yes! That shop is always closed. Who is the owner behind it? I'd like to ask if it's for sale. If the price is reasonable, I might consider buying it!"
"Sigh!" The advisor sighed upon hearing this, "Boss Luo should forget about that shop. Why don't you consider his shop instead!"
"Why? Is there something going on here?"
"Yes, there is a big deal!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunhe became even more interested and urged the advisor to explain the reasons for the shop in detail.
As the advisor recounted the story, Luo Yunhe's eyes widened in astonishment.
Two years ago, that shop had an owner and a very good reputation. It sold a wide variety of cosmetics and face powders that women liked, as well as silk scarves imported from other places.
The shop was run by a young couple with a son and a daughter.
