The people who had just gathered here rushed home, fearing that the silver would be distributed if they were late. They weighed the food and rushed to the chief's house without even having time to drink a sip of water.
Li Erlang was left behind to keep accounts, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to weigh their grain and receive their silver.
In just one morning, all the twenty-eight taels of silver were collected.
After the villagers have dispersed, the investors will distribute the food according to the proportion of their contributions.
Chief Li said to Li Erlang, "Go back and have some rest first. Then, in the afternoon, you can go to Piaoxianglou with us."
Li Erlang nodded in agreement.
At noon, Chief Li notified the people who were selling grain to prepare to set off for the county town.
Unlike the first time they set out to sell grain, this time the team was much smaller.
Li Erlang walked in front of the team and led everyone to Piaoxianglou. When they arrived at Piaoxianglou, Manager Qian arranged for Li Jianmin to lead everyone to weigh the grain and put it into the warehouse in the backyard.
After the grain was stored in the warehouse, he asked the accountant to take out 60 taels of silver and give it to Li Erlang. Li Erlang took the silver and bowed to the shopkeeper Qian to express his gratitude.
Shopkeeper Qian patted Li Erlang's shoulder with a smile and said, "I need food here too, so I'll buy from anyone!"
Having said that, in the end, others helped me.
After selling the grain, everyone felt a little more relaxed than when they came.
Li Yan was going to the embroidery shop, so she left the restaurant when Li Erlang received the money.
As soon as she entered the embroidery shop, she was greeted by Madam Zhou, who enthusiastically grabbed Li Yan and asked, "Miss, did you draw a new pattern for me?"
Li Yan took out three new looks and a dozen pictures of rabbits in different scenes from her arms.
Seeing so many drawings, Madam Zhou excitedly grabbed them all. The designs were still novel and unique, but there were only three new rabbit designs; the others were just rabbits in different scenes.
It seems that he is not satisfied with the pattern that Li Yan brought: "Miss, I can't give you a pair of silver!"
He shook the paintings in his hand and said, "I can only give you a hundred coins for these ten!"
Li Yan nodded in understanding. Originally, she planned to make a collection of rabbits, embroider rabbit stories on the embroidery, and sell the embroidery in the form of stories. This would not only increase the fun, but also to a certain extent curb imitations.
Obviously, Madam Zhou has not realized her own intentions. She just thinks that new things will not be replaced. In fact, it is the stories that are often more popular.
Well, since she wants a new look, Li Yan has all kinds of cute patterns in her mind.
Li Yan promised Zhou Niang that she would bring the new pattern the next time she came to deliver embroidery.
Madam Zhou was satisfied and handed the three taels and one qian of silver settled this time to Li Yan.
She was not worried because she had money on her. The tax and silver problems of the villagers were also solved. Li Yan was in a good mood and walked home leisurely.
On the way back, Li Yan was thinking about how to make a fortune. She kept thinking about it but couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, she still had some money on her, so she was not in a hurry.
When I arrived at the village entrance, it was already Youshi, and smoke was rising from every household.
The fiery sunset illuminated the entire sky red, and the entire village was peaceful and tranquil, just like the oil paintings I had seen in books before.
The little cousin looked out the door for a long time, and when he saw Li Yan's figure rushing towards him like a cannonball, he bumped into Li Yan and made her take several steps back before she could calm down.
Li Yan picked up her little cousin and kissed him on the face.
