I have passed through many villages and encountered this situation before, but it was good enough that the villagers did not steal their goods. Some villagers even charged tolls.

If you want to ask someone for help, you have to bargain first. If you ask for a sky-high price right away, you are no different from a bandit.

But the people Shen Yuan brought were really trying their best to help, without saying a word.

The other two merchants looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they had come to the right place.

After all the vehicles were pushed out, Shen Yuan directed them to move forward one by one in an orderly manner. When they arrived at the workshop, it was already dark.

In the workshop canteen here, Su Wanwan not only asked people to make ginger soup, but also made a special stew.

Three big pots were made of cabbage, vermicelli, pork belly, and bean curd from the workshop.

I also asked my aunt to steam a lot of mixed flour buns mixed with a little white flour for me, so that I could have as much as I wanted.

These caravans came for their workshop and will become their big customers in the future, so they have to show their sincerity.

As for the villagers who helped, their help couldn’t be in vain.

The dormitories have also been cleaned up. Almost all the empty dormitories have been cleaned up, and hot water has been boiled.

After Shen Yuan brought them back, Su Wanwan asked everyone to wash and change clothes first.

The villagers who came to help wanted to leave immediately and refused to come for dinner no matter what.

Su Wanwan was also anxious, as they had done their share of the work.

But everyone was in a hurry to go back and change clothes, so no one stayed. Even if they verbally agreed to come over for dinner later, they would definitely feel embarrassed to come over again.

The villagers were simple and honest. They thought that since so many caravans had come, they had to entertain them and naturally didn't want to disturb them again.

There was no other choice, so Su Wanwan asked Shen Liang and the others to come over and deliver a big bowl of stew and three big steamed buns to the homes of the villagers who helped.

When the villagers who received the dishes saw the big steamed buns and the precious bowl of vermicelli dishes, they were all dumbfounded.

Such a big bowl can be divided into three small bowls, and there is still a lot of meat, not to mention the vermicelli. I heard that it is made of sweet potatoes, which is no longer available on the market.

However, they also wanted to taste the vermicelli.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yuan were so kind. They just went out to help push the carriage.

In the past, their pig-killing dish was also stewed with various vegetables and meat without vermicelli. This pig-killing dish mixed with vermicelli looks much more delicious.

When they tasted the vermicelli, they were all very excited.

Sweet potatoes are not long-lasting, but they can be made into vermicelli and used in dishes. Sweet potatoes are really a treasure.

On this day, many households tasted vermicelli and praised it highly. With the sweet potato crop, they were full of hope for the future.

At the workshop, there were three caravans with quite a few people. The smallest caravan had eight people, and the largest caravan was the one Shen Yuan rescued in Black Wind Village, with 20 people.

There were too many people, so there weren't enough dormitories, so only five people were squeezed into one room.

As soon as they arrived at the workshop, they were shocked by its scale. But before they could be shocked for long, they were stunned by the dormitory.

Although the area is not large, it has everything. There is a big kang that can easily sleep five people.

The most important thing is that the beddings are new. There is also a large bathroom in the yard, which is divided into many small compartments, and there is a bathtub in each small compartment.

There were not many grids, only ten, and they took turns to wash.

This bathroom was built by Su Wanwan later. It is not very big, mainly because the kang in the dormitory room is too big and the space for walking is too small. If you put some tables and other things in there, there will be almost no space for a bathtub.

We simply had someone build two bathrooms for men and women. Since there were no showers available, we just made bathtubs. Whoever used it could wash up. The floor was paved with tiles and pipes, so the water could be poured out directly, which was quite convenient.

By the time everyone had finished washing and changed their clothes, it was already completely dark.

The workers had already finished their work, and a villager came to fetch water for washing the pots. Mr. Song happened to see him and asked him what he was doing.

I heard that they were taking it back for free to feed the pigs. I couldn't help but sigh that Brother Shen was so generous. No wonder the villagers were so enthusiastic.

The food had already been served in the cafeteria, and Shen Yuan asked everyone to sit down and eat.

"You all have come from afar, but you never expected to get stuck on the way. I, Shen Yuan, am sorry for the poor hospitality. I will serve you tea instead of wine first."

Shen Yuan drank the tea, and everyone else drank it too.

"Brother Shen, it's not your fault that the road is bad. We are the ones who bothered you. And we are so impressed by your visit to the workshop today. You have treated us very well. It is much better than we imagined. You are too polite."

Song Hai said sincerely.

Everyone responded that they could receive such treatment in the village, which was much better than what they had encountered in many workshops in the county.

They thought they were destined to stay overnight at the villagers' homes today.

"I won't say any more polite words. You all came here because you think highly of me, Shen Yuan. It's too late today and everyone is frightened. Let's eat a good meal and rest for the night. We will discuss cooperation tomorrow."

Shen Yuan was hungry after all the hard work.

He looked at the stew in his hand and immediately introduced:

"We are in a hurry today, so I prepared this dish. It's called the Great Stew. As the name suggests, it's a stew of various vegetables. It's similar to the pig-killing dishes in various places, but this one contains yuba from our workshop and vermicelli made from sweet potatoes. You can try it first. The yuba from my Daliushu Village will definitely not disappoint you."

After hearing his introduction, everyone looked at the big bowl in his hand.

The bowl was full with oil floating on it. Various vegetables were in the bowl. They could see not only cabbage, but also black fungus, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. They also saw the bean curd sheets that Shen Yuan mentioned. Naturally, they came here for the bean curd sheets.

Of course, what they were most interested in was the vermicelli, which was crystal clear and a good thing.

I heard that the sweet potato products in Bai’s Restaurant are sold at sky-high prices.

The black noodles made from sweet potato flour, served cold or fried with eggs, sold for one or two taels of silver for just a small portion.

Many of them have tasted it before, but it is obviously not the same thing as this vermicelli. Even the Baijia Restaurant has never seen this vermicelli.

But they are all made of sweet potatoes, which is really magical.

Everyone was already hungry. When they were on their way to Daliushu Village, they felt that the road was narrow and difficult to walk on. When they were trapped in a big pit, they even thought about never coming here again. Even if the bean curd sheets were good, they didn't want to come again.

But at this moment, they suddenly felt that they had to come. The owner was so kind that he even gave them precious vermicelli to eat. It was indeed not his fault that the road was bad.

When they really ate the stew, they ate it in silence, one steamed bun after another. It was a perfect match with the stew.

The bean curd sheets are chewy and delicious, and the vermicelli is smooth and tasty. It is much better than the pig-killing dish.
