When Grandpa Lin came back, the sun was setting, and the orange color in the west filled every corner of the village.

People who were busy in the fields also went home in groups of three or five. There was smoke rising from the roofs of each household's kitchen. Guangdan saw his grandfather coming back slowly and hurried to greet him.

Judging from grandpa’s expression, they probably had a good chat, so the project will move one step forward!

After helping his grandfather back to the yard, Guangdan was about to speak but was stopped by his grandfather.

"We'll talk about it tonight."

After shutting up again, Guangdan's clever little head started to think. Originally, he wanted to pay for the capital himself, after all, his family didn't have much money before.

But things are different now. Grandpa has a relatively huge sum of money in his hands, which has made Guangdan start planning his trip to the capital city again.

"Grandpa, I have something to say in advance." Guangdan moved the pony stool and whispered in the old man's ear.

"Well, then you say." Grandpa Lin nodded.

"Before, I was thinking about collecting the goods and going to the provincial capital. I would pay for the expenses. Now, look at this?" Guangdan frowned after saying this, looking like he didn't know what to do.

"I know, but now that our family is rich, it's great that you can come up with this idea for everyone. You can keep the money yourself, and don't worry, you will get a share of the money when it comes back."

Grandpa had already said this much, so Guangdan simply smiled and shut up.

What does this mean? Even though he withdrew his investment, he still gets a share of the profits.

"Okay, stop grinning like an idiot, you." Grandpa Lin glanced at Guangdan and sighed softly. This little guy was still a little young after all.

"Hey hey hey."

After dinner, the Lin family did not go to the yard to enjoy the cool air as usual, but stayed in the main room with the oil lamps lit.

Grandpa Lin looked at the children of all ages in the room, with a slight smile on his face. Although he could not be said to have many children and grandchildren, he could still be considered to have a large family. After all, he had successfully raised all the children in the family.

There are quite a few children who died young in the village.

"Ahem, I had a chat with the village chief this afternoon. This autumn, the village chief wants to try using an oxcart to transport some charcoal to the capital. Now that we have oxen, we plan to follow suit."

Grandpa Lin paused slightly here, and glanced at the family members in the room with his bright eyes.

"Hey, Dad, you say something." Lin Daniu also glanced at the second and third sons next to him and responded in a low voice.

"Well, everyone should know something. In a few days, Xiao Niu will be responsible for going out to collect woolen materials from the mountains, and then take them to the capital to sell in autumn. This is the first thing to do."

After the old man finished speaking, he noticed the questioning look on his second son's face, but he didn't give him time to question and continued speaking.

"When the time comes, the eldest son's wife, Xiao Niu, Guangdan, and the fourth son from your great grandfather's family will accompany you."

The words just now only made Lin Erniu a little doubtful, but now he was simply astonished. He looked up at his father in disbelief, and then at his elder brother.

He just wanted to ask, is this serious?

It was a pity that he had no say in this family. He even wanted to say that if his elder brother didn’t go, he could do it!! He really could!

"This is the first thing. I am not discussing this with you. I am just telling you my decision. Now let me tell you the second thing. During this period of time, Guangdan and the second son's wife have been tinkering with food.

Fish balls are hard to make in the hot weather, and there are other people selling them in town, so this business is not easy to do. Now I plan to let the second son and his wife prepare. If the stewed food is ready, we will sell it in the county town. I'll just talk about this first. It's just an idea at the moment, but I want you to have a general idea first."

The old man's words made Lin Erniu and his wife, who were already feeling a little uncomfortable, feel like they were hit by a pie in the sky, and even felt a little dizzy.

"Dad, are you really going to let us go to the county town to buy it? Is it possible?" Cao Lian asked with some disbelief.

"Well, we'll discuss these things in detail later. For now, your task is to work with Guangdan to prepare the food. The snack stalls in the county can't be like the ones in the town." Grandpa Lin said slowly.

"Well, we know, and we will definitely try our best, but where will we live if we set up a stall in the county town?" Lin Erniu asked with some confusion. The main reason was that the county town was too far away from home, and it was really impossible for him to go back and forth every day.

"When the time comes, we'll rent a small yard outside the county town, which we can use later." Grandpa Lin waved his hand and changed the subject.

"For these two things, the capital is provided by the family. Second brother, the money you two earn from food should be divided into three parts. One part should be given to the public, one part should be given to Guangdan, and one part should be kept by yourself. You have no right to deal with the food recipes privately. Do you hear me?"

Grandpa Lin said this very seriously, his eyes fixed on the second son and his wife.

"We know it, Dad. I will never leak the recipe. If I do, I will be struck by lightning!" Cao Lian raised his right hand and swore.

Because she knew that the old man was saying this to her, perhaps because he was worried that she would tell the recipe to her family.

"Well, not only for yourselves, but also for Goumao and Yaya." Grandpa Lin was somewhat satisfied with the attitude of the second family. He smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Lin Daniu and his wife.

"As for selling goods in the capital city, the capital is also provided by the family, and the profit is divided into four parts: one part for the public, one part for the old family, one part for the young calf, and one part for the bare egg."

Having said that, the old man carefully observed the reactions of others in the dim light, and when he saw no dissatisfaction on their faces, he raised the corner of his mouth.

"I want to say something in particular. Whether it was selling goods in the prefectural city or selling food in the county town, it was Guangdan who came up with the idea, so I gave him a separate copy. If he hadn't said it, none of us would have thought of doing this. Guangdan originally wanted to pay for it himself, but I refused. Now that our family has money, Guangdan should keep the money himself. He will do great things in the future."

After hearing this, Guangdan touched his head and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't know how big a deal the big thing his grandfather mentioned was.

So what big thing should he do to make his grandfather happier?

Uh, I can’t think of it!

But it's okay. I can use the twenty or so taels of silver I saved to buy a mule, or go to the pawnshop to have some money. But when I thought about it this way, I felt that if I didn't touch the gold and silver in the wooden box, I would still have less money.

Then he looked at Fang Cuihua unconsciously. As expected, he should find an opportunity to discuss it with his mother. Only when the money starts flowing can he continue to make money!
