There were only a few boys busy wiping the tables and sweeping the floor, while shopkeeper Mao sat at the counter and settled the accounts. Gu Wan and his wife walked directly in to find shopkeeper Mao. When shopkeeper Mao saw them coming, he put down the account book in his hand, invited Gu Wan and the others to sit down, and ordered the waiter to serve a pot of tea.
Gu Wan, who had been traveling all the way, took two sips of water before asking, "Shopkeeper Mao, are all the ingredients I want ready?" "Well, they're almost there. I've already called with each shopkeeper this morning. Hello, the money has been paid, but last time you said you wanted to host twenty tables, right? I prepared some more just in case. If there is any leftover, you can keep it for the New Year." Shopkeeper Mao said He looked confident and replied to Gu Wan in a leisurely manner.
The ingredients were all ready. Gu Wan was naturally overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's really troublesome, shopkeeper Gu! I don't know how much it cost to have so many ingredients? Anyway, the ingredients are all ready. Let's settle the money today. Bar!"
Shopkeeper Mao is also a cheerful person. He did not mince words, but said generously: "These ingredients together cost almost twenty taels of silver. You still keep the money you paid for selling sweet potatoes here with me. A total of four One hundred taels, excluding the twenty taels, I should give you three hundred and eighty taels of silver." After speaking, shopkeeper Mao got up and went to the back room to get four banknotes and some silver and handed them to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan didn¡¯t refuse, so she put the money into her purse and put the purse close to her body. Gu Wan and his wife exchanged a few words with Shopkeeper Mao, looked at the sun gradually setting, then said goodbye in a hurry, and drove the ox cart back to Lingshui Village.
When I returned to the Lin family, it was still cooking, eating, washing, and resting. Before going to bed, Lin Yijing couldn't hold it back and asked Gu Wan a question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Madam, I don't understand, why did you hand over the method of growing sweet potatoes so easily? This is our family's source of wealth. ah!"
"Ms. sir, why don't I understand what you're saying? But you have to know the village chief's status in Lingshui Village. Whether he accidentally learned about how we make money or deliberately inquired about it, he has set his sights on us. Even if I don't hand it over now, he will probably find a way to get the method of growing sweet potatoes. In that case, not only will I fail to save our family's wealth, but I will also offend the village chief. Rather than doing this, it is better to be generous. If Fang handed over the method, he could still use it to negotiate terms with the village chief and benefit himself." Gu Wan analyzed it bit by bit for Lin Yijing, hoping that he would understand her painstaking efforts.
"Oh, so that's it. It seems that the lady has a lot of foresight!" Lin Yijing looked enlightened after hearing Gu Wan's words.
"Actually, making money is only one aspect. The most important thing is that it can also help the villagers in Lingshui Village get rich. This is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. How could I miss it? Well, it's getting late. I have to go to the village tomorrow. Sir, my husband, please go to bed early." Gu Wan said while yawning, it seemed that she was really sleepy.
So, Lin Yijing turned off the lights, and Gu Wan's family took a rest.
The next morning, Gu Wan woke up early with excitement, got up, cooked porridge and boiled eggs. After the family had breakfast, they went to the village chief's house with a huge sum of money.
The village chief knew that Lin Yijing and the others were coming today, so he opened the door early and waited at the door. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
