Chapter 211 This Year's Harvest...



Everyone followed Yin Lan's actions and actually looked at the stamp at an angle, and it really was.

Yin Lan explained, "This stamp is to prevent people from making counterfeits and buying inferior products, which would deceive everyone. That's why we came up with this method so that everyone can tell each other to make sure they don't buy the wrong thing."

This doesn't harm anyone, and nobody wants to buy fake things. At the same time, people admire Xi Shi's cleverness; she could even come up with such a method. She was truly resourceful and foresighted.

"That's right, otherwise how could they have built up such a successful business, and even surpassed Yinhelou?"

The lawsuit against Yinhelou is still ongoing. The manager of Jiqinglou actually has evidence, but he was helpless because the person who had previously been the one to help him was backed by the county magistrate. Now that the person who had turned back has fallen, he can produce evidence again, and the manager of Yinhelou is speechless and can only admit defeat.

However, the matter still needs to be investigated and verified. It is almost impossible for the manager of Yinhelou to overturn the verdict. If the final judgment is made, Yinhelou may return to Manager Liu of Jiqinglou, which would be a good thing.

The shop's business is much better than before; it sold out in just a short while at noon.

Yin Lan had bought meat pies earlier, and when Zhao Dashan's wife and Zhao Dashan tried to refuse, Yin Lan simply stuffed them into their mouths.

Zhao Dashan's wife reverted to her somewhat shy demeanor, saying, "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite? This is so expensive."

"When we do business and make money, isn't it all about wanting to provide a good life for ourselves, our children, and our families? If we're still stingy, what's the point of making money? Life is so short, so what's wrong with treating yourself better when you can?"

Zhao Dashan's wife was stunned by what he said. Her frugal lifestyle, where she would divide a penny into several parts, made her think that Yin's sister-in-law's statement was simply audacious. But upon closer examination, she couldn't quite find anything wrong with it.

"Anyway, we shouldn't spend money like this in the future. Actually, we brought some flatbread." Zhao Dashan's wife took out the flatbread that had already dried out.

The white flour noodles, made from high-quality white flour, are already a top-notch dish, but compared to the meat pie, they seem so... unappealing.

"We should save money, but not on food. We're not talking about delicacies; just eating white flour, eggs, and meat will help us stay healthy and strong, which will save us money on medicine, right?"

"Besides, don't you really want to eat this delicious food? If we can afford it, we'll eat it."

Zhao Dashan's wife felt that what Yin Di's sister-in-law said seemed to make some sense.

I even felt that she was shining brightly.

People in the village used to say that Sister-in-law Yin was extravagant and that her three children wouldn't be able to find wives in the future. But now she is the richest and most successful person in the village, and everyone is trying to get along with her.

It's clear that simply being frugal isn't enough; you also need skills, the ability to make money.

Zhao Dashan's wife thought Yin was amazing. She hurriedly took out her account books from the past two days. Yin Lan had taught her, and Zhao Dashan's wife had studied them diligently. Now she was learning things every night, but she was a latecomer to the field... her handwriting was crooked, and many of her calculations were wrong.

This was even with Big Tiger and Two Tiger helping out.

Seeing Yin Lan's expression, Zhao Dashan's wife felt a little embarrassed, "Am I not good enough? Or maybe..."

"Look, here, here, and here, you've calculated them all correctly. Sister-in-law, you've only been learning for a few days, and you can do this. It's truly remarkable."

ah?

Zhao Dashan's wife was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Everyone else was pointing out what she hadn't done well, and the things she did well were just expected, but only Sister-in-law Yin actually praised her.

Zhao Dashan's wife's thoughts of giving up completely disappeared. Since Yin's sister-in-law said she could do it, she could do it. She would start learning now and learn with the child. She refused to believe that she couldn't learn it well.

The accounts are perfectly correct, as evidenced by the character of the Zhao family. Moreover, Zhao Dashan's wife always reports to Yin Lan, fearing that the money might be mishandled and that their trust might be betrayed.

Once she has learned how to do it, and these calculation errors no longer occur, Yin Lan can truly entrust everything to the two of them with peace of mind.

Moreover, in the past two days, Zhao Dashan's wife not only sold the cold noodles she made herself, but also sold Yin Lan's pig offal. Knowing that there was so much money, she had no greed at all. Even when her eyes lit up, it was only because she was amazed by the money.

She didn't blame Yin Lan for not teaching her how to cook pig offal.

The luckiest thing for Yin Lan since she came into this world was probably meeting her. Such a trustworthy and virtuous person is extremely rare in any era and place.

After packing up, Yin Lan went back and, together with Zhao Dashan's wife, taught the families from yesterday how to make jelly. After teaching them, she had them make it once, and they all did quite well. It's not difficult to make jelly, but Yin Lan emphasized the issue of hygiene again. It must be clean and tidy; they can't ruin their own reputation.

With Qian Tiechui's example as a precedent, no one wanted to miss such a good opportunity, so they naturally complied. Moreover, most of them were already used to the hygiene requirements from working for Yin Lan, so it wasn't a difficult task.

After finishing teaching here, Zhao Dashan's wife hurriedly left. She, Yin Lan, went to the school to discuss with the teacher whether she could sit in on the classes.

He wouldn't listen to anything else; the only thing he wanted to learn was arithmetic.

Passing by the field ridges, it was already spring planting season, and the fields were full of people. After returning, Zhao Dashan did not rest, but went straight to the fields. He also supported his wife's desire to learn arithmetic, and they agreed that he would take care of everything in the fields.

This spring seemed quite different from before.

Looking at the newly sprouted tender green seedlings, Zhao Dashan's wife felt the vibrant vitality for the first time.

The family not only farms but also runs a business. The money they've earned these past few days has already made Zhao Dashan's wife feel much more at ease. Thinking about the money she can earn in the future, her eyes and brows are full of smiles.

The villagers all had smiles on their faces. Last year's heavy snowfall made the land much more fertile this year, and it looked like it would be a bumper harvest.

Zhao Dashan's wife wanted to learn arithmetic, which Yin Lan had already discussed with Master Liu, so there was naturally no problem for her.

Yin Lan carefully hid all the silver notes. Chen Yourun had only taken a few taels of loose silver with him when he went out, and all his belongings were with her, so she couldn't let them get lost.

Then he went outside, where the villagers were working enthusiastically in the fields.

Yin Lan also grew up in the countryside, but she couldn't remember much about land, so she didn't know if the seedlings were normal. Then, looking at the villagers' faces and the sighs and conversations of those closer to her, she knew that her previous worries were justified.

"Last year's heavy snowfall was auspicious, a sign of a bountiful harvest, but this year's crop..."
