Ye Qing observed them for a day and was very satisfied with their performance. The next day, he brought the draft contract, which mainly covered the confidentiality of the secret recipe.

If you just watch it once, you can almost make it. If you have never seen it, it is not easy to make it.

The most important clause in the contract is that if the secret recipe is revealed, or if anyone else in the family makes vermicelli, Ye Qing must be compensated five hundred taels of silver.

The aunts and Ye Xuan were not people with bad intentions. They were very happy to hear this rule, which was also a restriction on themselves.

They are also worried that they might accidentally tell others about it when chatting outside.

With this rule, when they want to speak, they will stop talking when they think of the five hundred taels.

After setting working hours, Ye Qing's small workshop gradually got on track.

Except for the first two days, which are used to wash and cut sweet potatoes, in the following days, about 50 kilograms of vermicelli can be produced every day.

The prepared flour is dried, cut into suitable lengths with a brand new chopper, and then tied with ropes, two kilograms per bundle. There is no need to weigh it when selling.

When Sun Dazhu heard that the first batch of vermicelli was ready, he came to buy 20 kilograms when he went out to sell tofu in the morning to support his niece's business.

Those families here who have some money like to put some vermicelli when stewing tofu.

A pound of sweet potatoes costs three cents, and six pounds of sweet potatoes can produce a pound of vermicelli. Ye Qing set the price of vermicelli at 25 cents per pound, but if you buy in large quantities, you can get it at 23 cents per pound.

There are few people growing sweet potatoes in Wu'an City, and the vermicelli sold in the city are all brought in by caravans.

Vermicelli takes up space, so caravans don't like to bring them. If they do bring them, the price will be high. Thirty to thirty-five cents per pound, about the same price as meat.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Ye Qing and his colleagues cleaned up the yard and prepared to close the door and go home.

Sun Dazhu rushed in, looking anxious.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Didn't you sell it? It's okay, give me some more and I'll try to sell it in the city." Ye Qing was worried that his uncle was embarrassed to say it, so he proposed the solution first.

Sun Dazhu took a deep breath and stopped Ye Qing from talking. "Qingya, they are all sold out. I went to the village to sell tofu. I brought 20 kilograms with me. I went to four villages and still couldn't sell enough."

Ye Qing was happy to hear this, as it was an affirmation of himself. "Uncle, can you take some more?"

"Take some, I'll go to a few more villages to sell tomorrow." Sun Dazhu calculated that he came back half an hour earlier than usual today and made more money.

When the other people in the yard heard what Sun Dazhui said, they congratulated Ye Qing.

This is not only a way for Ye Qing to make money, but also a sign that the workshop can continue to operate, and their monthly income is guaranteed.

Ye Qing did some calculations and found that he had to sell at least 200 kilograms every month to cover his monthly investment.

It will take several more months of work to pay back the tools purchased in the early stage, and this does not include your own wages.

My uncle took another thirty kilograms, and Ye Qing got back a quarter of his investment. Only a few days into the month, Ye Qing was already full of confidence.

They continued to work for more than half a month, and there were more than 600 kilograms of vermicelli stored in the warehouse, and Uncle Sun helped sell more than 100 kilograms.

Ye Qing asked everyone to take a day off, and then found Ye Xuan, wanting him to accompany him to the city and give him twenty cents a day.

"Qingya, I can't accept this money. Why should I ask for more money when I accompany you to the city?" Ye Xuan felt that if he asked for money when accompanying his sister to the city, the villagers would criticize him.

"Brother, if I let you work during the rest time, I will pay you." Ye Qing advised earnestly.

Ye Xuan is very stubborn. He treats Ye Qing as his own sister and doesn't want anything.

Ye Qing saw that it didn't make sense, so he stopped talking and decided to give him a bigger red envelope at the end of the month.

The two of them took the village's ox cart and went to the city with the vermicelli.

Liu Bao was also in the team. When he saw Ye Qing, his eyes lit up and he came over to talk to her.

"Sister Ye Qing, I didn't see you in the mountains this year. I heard that you made some new things, some good stuff, please think about the brothers."

Ye Qing looked at Liu Bao in front of him, but he didn't recognize him until he spoke.

The young man who used to be a gangster now dresses properly and doesn't look like a tough guy at all.

She waved at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan had been paying attention to her. Seeing someone talking to her, he had wanted to come over.

"Who is this Qingya? I've never seen her in the village."

"Brother, this is Brother Liu Bao. You didn't go up the mountain last year, so you didn't see him."

He introduced Ye Xuan to Liu Bao, and the two greeted each other and looked at Ye Qing together.

"Brother, show him the bag you are carrying."

Ye Xuan didn't say much. He reached out to take the bag, opened the bag, took out a handful of vermicelli and handed it to Liu Bao.

Liu Bao took the vermicelli, looked at it in the sun, folded it, and knew that the quality of the vermicelli was definitely not low.

"Girl, how much is this per pound?" Liu Bao looked at Ye Qing eagerly.

Ye Qing stated the agreed price openly, "If you buy more, it can be cheaper, 23 cents per pound."

Liu Bao made some money last year, got married, and his family has a lot of expenses. He also has a group of brothers who follow him, and he has to consider them.

"Sister, I'll buy 100 kilograms and pick it up tomorrow morning." Liu Bao is a decisive man.

They can only sell charcoal for one winter, there is no money to be made the rest of the time, and they don’t have any skills.

Ye Qing can do this all year round. If you run more every day, you will always make money.

Ye Qing smiled with curved eyebrows, today was really a good day, he had ordered a hundred kilograms just after going out.

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Qing discussing business naturally and felt envious.

Due to his physical condition, he was not valued by his family since childhood and could only rely on his sweet words to attract attention.

When chatting with people outside, I will subconsciously observe their expressions and follow their topics.

When Ye Qing saw Ye Xuan's expression, he could more or less guess what he was thinking.

"Brother Ye Xuan, do you have any ideas about our workshop?"

Ye Xuan was a little confused. Isn't it enough to just work hard?

Ye Qing didn't wait for him to answer and continued, "This is what I planned. I want you to be responsible for the external sales of our vermicelli. If we want to make it bigger and stronger in the future, we need someone to take charge."

Ye Xuan was excited when he heard this, but he couldn't believe whether it was what he thought or he was just being sentimental.

"Qingya, I will definitely work hard." Ye Xuan expressed his determination first.

Ye Qing knew that this matter could not be accomplished overnight, and he had to take it slowly. He stopped talking and sat in the car with his eyes closed to rest.

Ye Xuan's hands were shaking with excitement. He had never received any affirmation and his family had never praised him.

Arriving in the city, Ye Qing separated from the villagers. With Ye Xuan following him, Boss Ye felt relieved.

The two arrived at the grocery store where Ye Qing had inquired about the situation some time ago, stood at the door, adjusted their breathing, and smiled.

Then he took Ye Xuan into the store, "Boss, do you remember me? I was here a few days ago."

The grocery store owner recalled and finally remembered when looking at the vermicelli in their hands.

"It's you, little girl. You came here today to buy something."
