Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The third crop of peppers has been harvested. The second and third harvests will definitely not be as many as the first.

But when added together, the farmers' wallets suddenly became fatter.

The family of Village Chief Ma earned the most, with three crops of peppers selling for a total of 58 taels of silver.

Even the family with the least harvest in the village sold more than 30 taels of rice, which was unthinkable in previous years.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly became a popular figure in the village.

No matter whether there is anyone in the family working for Xia Shengsheng or not, every time they see Xia Shengsheng, it's like seeing the God of Wealth, and they smile so hard that you can see his teeth.

After Xia Shengsheng collected all the peppers, they were not kept for long before Tao Wuji's manager came and took them away.

Also taken away were more than 8000 kilograms of vermicelli and 5000 servings of instant noodles.

The instant noodle factory has been in a state of suspension since Tao Wuji's manager left.

When Chen Siyao had some free time, she went back to town to visit her father.

Although Xia Shengsheng was a little worried, she was still very busy with her work and couldn't leave, so she couldn't help Chen Siyao too much.

They could only ask Ye Chao and Ercheng, who were studying in the town, to go and see Chen Siyao after school, and report back if anything happened.

Xia Shengsheng also had some awareness of Ercheng's thoughts.

Even though she has lived for more than 20 years and has never been in love, it doesn't mean that she is a fool and can't see anything.

Ercheng is only nine years old, which is the age to go to elementary school according to the 21st century.

Children of this age don’t know anything except playing.

But when we were young, did we all have a crush on an older brother or sister who was nice to us?

As we get older, this feeling will slowly disappear.

It is not a feeling between men and women, but a kind of admiration in childhood.

Chen Siyao has a cheerful personality and is very likable. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has different emotions towards the ignorant Ercheng.

As an adult, Xia Shengsheng would not try to interfere with such feelings. However, if it really came to the point where Xia Shengsheng had to intervene after a few years, he would naturally not stand idly by.

But no matter what, Chen Siyao and Ercheng are definitely impossible.

When Chen Siyao returned to town, the rumors in the town had not stopped.

But the good thing is that the man always causes trouble, probably because he feels it is boring.

Now I no longer go to the Chen family to cause trouble.

Craftsman Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise arguing with people every day would have made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Chen Siyao lived in the town for a while with peace of mind and also accompanied her father, Chen Gongshi.

It was the tenth day after Tao Wuji's manager took away the instant noodles.

Tao Wuji and his son suddenly visited Xia Shengsheng's house again in a carriage.

When there was a knock on the door outside, Xia Shengsheng was still digging a secret passage in the cellar.

Fortunately, Sicheng was left upstairs to look after the house. With Sicheng's reminder, Xia Shengsheng came out of the cellar, washed the dirt off his body, and changed his clothes.

I took Sicheng with me to open the door.

"Oh! Sister Xia, are you home? I thought no one was home."

Tao Wuji had people knocking for a long time, but there was no movement inside. He was just about to go back to the carriage and sit for a while when Xia Shengsheng opened the gate.

Before Xia Shengsheng could answer, Sicheng was picked up from the ground by Tao Siyuan.

"My little Sicheng, long time no see, do you miss brother Siyuan?

Auntie, do you miss me? I miss you so much! It’s all my dad’s fault. He forced me to learn how to read the account book and trapped me at home for so long.

Otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago!"

This father and son are exactly the same. Tao Siyuan didn't wait for Sicheng to answer and immediately complained to Xia Shengsheng.

There was no time at all for the mother and son to respond.

Xia Shengsheng shook his head helplessly.

"You kid, put Sicheng down quickly. Didn't you see that Sicheng was knocked unconscious by you?"

Tao Siyuan then looked at Sicheng who was spinning around in his arms.

Sicheng's eyes were already full of stars. Who was the person in front of him? He could hardly hear what was said.

Tao Siyuan quickly put Sicheng down and laughed.

After Sicheng escaped from the clutches of the devil, he took a while to calm down before greeting Tao Wuji and his son.

Xia Shengsheng quickly invited the two distinguished guests in.

He served them tea and then sat down to explain why he opened late.

"I was taking Sicheng for a nap just now, so I didn't hear Master Tao knocking on the door. I'm really sorry for keeping Master Tao waiting for so long.

What is the matter that Master Tao came here for this time?"

Tao Siyuan's eyes rolled around. He was a martial artist. Although his skills were not that advanced, he was considered a good learner at his age.

Just now when I was outside the door, I heard some noise in the yard.

So he thought that Aunt Xia and Sicheng must not have taken a nap just now.

As for what he was doing, it had nothing to do with him, and he would not guess.

Since Aunt Xia said it was a nap, then let’s take a nap.

Tao Wuji took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry for coming here so suddenly. I really have something to do this time..."

It turned out that after Tao Wuji's manager took this batch of things back, he distributed the chili vermicelli to various prefectures according to the pre-planned plan.

However, the 5000 instant noodles that were brought back were only sold on a trial basis in Hui'an Prefecture. On the first day, they were half given away and half sold, and only more than packets were sold.

But by the next day, all 5000 servings of instant noodles were sold out before noon.

Tao Wuji was regretting his decision to the core.

If he had known earlier that he would have asked Xia Shengsheng to increase production and produce more at a time, he wouldn't have had to make a special trip this time.

In fact, this time the father and son came here specifically for business matters.

There is one most important thing.

That is.

They are greedy again.

"I didn't expect this instant noodle to be so popular. It seems that Mr. Tao is here to increase production this time. I just wonder how many servings he is going to order?"

Tao Wuji had thought about it in advance. Although these 5000 copies were sold out, it was just the butterfly effect brought about by the launch.

No matter how many copies a city has, there won’t be more than 10,000 of them, even though he sells them at such a high price.

Not every household can afford it.

Besides, the wealthy families only want this thing for something new and novel.

I'm afraid you'll get tired of it after a while.

So, he first ordered 100,000 packs of instant noodles from Xia Shengsheng, paid the deposit and signed the contract again.

As for the subsequent arrangements for Xia Shengsheng, it is not his responsibility.

“I can’t ship these instant noodles in a month.

It will take at least three months. Mr. Tao can ask people to buy more than 3 servings of instant noodles every month until the quantity is sufficient after three months.

If Mr. Tao wants more goods, we can sign a new agreement at that time."

The factory is so small that even if Xia Shengsheng wants to hire more people, he doesn't plan to hire too many. After all, this is not a one-time deal.

A steady and long-term strategy for doing business is to maintain a steady and long-term income.

"Okay, let's do as Sister Xia said. Now that we've finished discussing the business, isn't it almost time for dinner?"

Tao Wuji's stomach growled at the right time. In order to hurry on their journey, they had only eaten a little cake in the carriage at noon, so they were very hungry now.

The main reason is greed.

Xia Shengsheng smiled and said that the hospitality was rude, and when she was about to cook, she made a joke intentionally.

"Master Tao, if you keep coming here to eat and drink for free, you'll have to pay for your meals."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen with a smile.

He also asked Sicheng and Tao Siyuan to help.

Tao Wuji sat there in a daze for a long time. The scene just now suddenly reminded him of the first time he met Tao Siyuan's mother when he was a teenager.

It was spring, when the flowers were blooming...
