Moreover, he now knows that his wife is very capable; she can even know people in the cloth transport business, so it's not surprising that she knows other people as well.
Not long after Hu Er left, several women rushed to the small thatched hut carrying their old clothes.
"Mrs. Yin, please take a look at my clothes, are they alright?"
"These are my child's old clothes. Do you think they can really be replaced with new fabric?"
Yin Lan smiled, but her eyes were already gleaming with shrewdness. Money, oh, all that money.
As more and more people came, Yin Lan told them to line up.
But who would want to fall behind on such a great opportunity?
It wasn't until Yin Lan's tone became serious and she indicated that everyone could switch that the arrangement was finalized.
Yin Lan then began to change into two sets of clothes made of seven feet of cloth.
It's essentially like exchanging two old garments for the fabric of a new garment.
The cloth was replaced very quickly.
After working for most of the morning, most of the fabric that had been brought back had been replaced.
Yin Lan assured everyone that the clothes were all available for change, and she thought she could go and get some more fabric.
So the next day, accompanied by Chen Yourun, she went into the county town again, taking the little girl with her and sending her back. She also brought some new jelly with her.
Actually, I was still a little afraid that she would cause trouble. After all, she was a young lady, and I had made her sleep on hay all night.
So Yin Lan sent the jelly and bought some fabric before leaving immediately.
Just as they reached the door, a woman with an elegant demeanor approached and asked, "So you're from Iron Sword Village, here to deliver the food?"
Before Yin Lan could speak, she added, "Was it you who brought my Yun'er back?"
Yin Lan inwardly cursed, "Oh no, I've been caught again." Just as she was considering whether to run away...
The noblewoman stepped forward and grabbed her hand, her expression as if she had seen a savior. "Take her away. Take her back to stay for a while. How much silver do you want? Just name your price."
"Huh?" Yin Lan was stunned.
It turns out that this little girl is named Wang Yun. She has been energetic and fiery since she was a child. She would wreak havoc at home every day or go out and cause trouble. She is stubborn and no one can discipline her.
But when she came back this time, she was covered in dirt and had even slept on hay all night. But Wang Yun wasn't angry at all; in fact, she found it quite amusing.
Oh, right.
She, who dislikes even the most exquisite delicacies, actually ate pig intestines and said they were delicious.
This noble lady was her mother, and she immediately wanted to push this hot potato away.
"Come, come, go, go, you can come with me."
"Fifty taels of silver a month, how about that?" the noble lady asked.
Yin Lan wanted to refuse, but it was fifty taels!
Wang Yun remembered the taste of pig intestines and immediately grabbed Yin Lan's hand.
Now it was the lady of the house who was alarmed.
When has her daughter ever been so friendly and approachable to anyone?
This made her even more determined to send her daughter away, hoping that under those conditions, her temperament might improve after a while.
There was no other way, so Yin Lan eventually brought the person along.
Chen Yourun was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
When he heard "fifty taels," he saw his wife's eyes light up, and that's when he knew how things would turn out.
Not long after they left, Yin Lan told Chen Yourun to wait a moment; she had to pretend to meet someone.
So, while Yin Lan appeared to swagger into a restaurant, she secretly slipped out through the back door.
I just glanced at the restaurant's drinks menu as I passed by.
Good heavens, a single snack costs two hundred coins, and it's vegetarian!
Yin Lan still felt that it was important to know oneself and one's enemy.
So he lingered outside the back door for a while, then went back in and bought two different snacks, spending a total of 500 coins.
After leaving, he told Chen Yourun that the matter had been taken care of.
The other party gave another ten taels of silver as a deposit.
Chen Yourun actually wanted to go in and meet this person, but the person's identity was mysterious.
If his identity weren't mysterious, he wouldn't be so generous, so he wasn't particularly suspicious.
Back in the small thatched hut, Yin Lan quietly put all the old clothes she had collected inside to wash.
They collected a total of eighty pieces, and took out 280 feet of cloth, which amounted to nearly 7 bolts of cloth, costing more than one tael of silver.
However, of the eighty pieces of old clothing that were collected, one piece could fetch about five hundred coins in the system, and some, like Hu Erwa's extremely tattered clothes, sold for one tael of silver!
In total, it amounted to fifty-two taels of silver!
A little over one tael was exchanged for more than fifty taels – it was an incredibly profitable investment!
Moreover, the villagers felt that everyone had benefited and were extremely grateful to Yin Lan, considering her to be a living bodhisattva.
Yin Lancai felt that the villagers were living bodhisattvas.
When Yin Lan went to the county town last time, she bought some more cloth, and now she still has some left.
There are about two hundred households in the village, but not everyone is willing to come and exchange clothes. After all, some people's clothes are not that old, and they don't want to wear new ones. So, the people who come to exchange clothes have basically all done so within a few days.
In just a few days, Yin Lan had already earned 80 taels of silver, making a net profit of over 70 taels of silver – a truly exorbitant profit!
There probably isn't much business left in the village now.
However, people from other villages also heard about this and were very interested. There are so many villages around, and if they exchanged them one by one, they could earn at least several hundred taels of silver!
Yin Lan plans to try her luck in Long Spear Village tomorrow.
While she was busy with the fabric business these past few days, the construction of the house over there was also progressing rapidly.
This is where the biogas digester behind the house has been dug.
There are several entrances for feces, including the excrement from the chickens, ducks, and sheep raised by the family, all of which eventually pass through. A downward slope leads into this pool.
Originally, other people's outhouses were filled with excrement, which could be used as fertilizer, but it was only used more when growing purebred bulbs. Most of the time, the outhouses were very dirty and smelly, especially in summer, when other things would grow there, making going to the toilet a very painful experience.
However, all the excrement has now entered the pool, but the amount is still relatively small and needs to accumulate for a period of time. Then, flammable gases such as methane will be produced. These gases will run out through the pipes, and Chen Yourun has sealed the pipes with highly adhesive clay so that there will be no leakage.
At the end of the pipe is the kitchen of the house.
A little bit of the pipe protrudes out, and the top is made of mud. A cap is placed over it to block the gas.
There was also a stove made of stacked stones around the perimeter.
Chen Yourun demonstrated to Yin Lan that he opened the top of his hat and then lit the protruding part with firewood, from which flammable gas came out.
The pale blue flames suddenly shot up.
