I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Hurry up, what are you doing?"

Wang Sheng knelt on the ground stubbornly, and no matter how Song An Ning tried to pull him up, he would not stand up. His voice was full of pleading:

"Sister Aning, I will definitely work harder in the future. Please don't chase us away."

He knew that he no longer had a home. If not here, where could he and his sister go?

Wang Qiuyue was crying so hard just now that she didn't hear Wang Sheng say "I was wrong", and only then did she realize he was.

"A Sheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister Aning isn't trying to kick us out. She's given you a raise, fifty copper coins a day. From now on, you'll also get eight copper coins a day.

Thank Aning quickly, and make sure to work harder in the future to take good care of Yuan and Yue."

Song An Ning understood her feelings. Wang Qiuyue was a simple person. If others were nice to her, she would be loyal to them.

Wang Sheng is eight years old this year. He is wearing a loose navy blue coarse cloth shorts. The cloth was given by Song An Ning. Children of this age grow fast, so Wang Qiuyue deliberately made the clothes bigger and rolled up the sleeves in several places, making it look a bit bulky.

At this age, it is the time for teeth to change. The two teeth on top have fallen out and have not grown out yet. Wang Sheng, who is already shy, always speaks with his lips pursed. With this outfit, he looks like a real poor little thing.

"Asheng, you've done very well before.

You've helped me a lot, so I should give you some money. Don't overthink it, just keep things the same."

After she finished speaking, she gave Wang Qiuyue a look, and Wang Qiuyue understood what she meant. She reached out and touched Wang Sheng's little head, and said with some hesitation:

"Listen to your sister Aning."

Only after his sister spoke did Wang Sheng nod, with a look of joy on his face, and a little bit of wanting to cry.

He can earn eight cents a day now, which is enough to buy four pounds of whole grain noodles. If his mother knew that he and his elder sister were living so well now, she would definitely be very happy.

"Wash your hands and let's eat."

Breakfast was pork and wild vegetable buns with egg soup. Wang Qiuyue’s cooking skills were really good. In this day and age without so many seasonings, she could still make the food so delicious.

After breakfast, the two of them fetched water to wash more than a dozen large jars and prepared to pickle duck eggs.

After washing, Wang Qiuyue led Wang Sheng to the gate and said to Song Anning with a smile:

"Aning, please prepare the ingredients first. These are secret recipes. It's better for Ah Sheng and I to stay away from them."

After hearing her words, Song An Ning suddenly realized. No wonder Wang Qiuyue acted strangely when she took out the lime just now. It turned out that she was thinking about this.

"Sister Qiuyue, there's no need to be like this. I was just thinking of teaching you how to pickle duck eggs. Let's make money together.

If I provide the recipe, I will take 20% and the rest will be yours.

Now that you have the capital, you can go to the village to collect duck eggs and we can do it together."

Song Anning went out and brought the brother and sister back. This was something she had thought of a long time ago. Wang Qiuyue was a trustworthy person, and they could make money together.

"Does the master trust her so much? Isn't he afraid that she will leak the recipe?"

In Xiangxiang's opinion, her master is a thoughtful person and rarely trusts someone like this.

"Money can move people's hearts, and anything can happen.

But Xiangxiang, think about it this way: if she betrays you just because of a preserved egg recipe, then it's a good opportunity to see this person clearly and avoid stabbing you in the back in a big way. Isn't it a good deal if you look at it this way?"

She didn't intend to test it. People's hearts are fickle. Even if it is someone she trusts, she will still remain a little vigilant in her heart. This is what her mother told her, and she has been doing so all these years.

She has been here for almost a month and has achieved such results with the help of the system.

There is no way back to the original world, and the business will definitely grow bigger in the future. If possible, she wants Wang Qiuyue to be in charge of the preserved eggs. Now is just the beginning.

"No, Aning, this is your business. Even though we have a good relationship, you shouldn't tell me."

At this moment, Wang Qiuyue thought a lot. If someone threatened her with her brother's life, she might leak the recipe.

“It doesn’t matter, I can’t expand the business by myself.

It's not just you. My grandfather's family, my second uncle's family, and my second grandfather's family all know the recipe and are making it. You don't have to think too much about it. If one day you really have some unavoidable hardship and tell others about the recipe, it will definitely be a big deal.

I don't blame you. We can find other ways to make money, it's the same."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qiuyue's tears immediately flowed down. Aning said this, which meant that he really treated her as a family member.

Since we are a family, we can solve problems together. Aning is not afraid, so what is she afraid of?

"Okay, I, Wang Qiuyue, will not let you down."

"Well, let's get started!"

Song An Ning repeated the recipe she had taught Grandpa and the others. Seeing such simple steps, Wang Qiuyue stared at the duck eggs in a daze and asked in disbelief:

"Is this the end?"

"Yes, it's that simple. In about twenty days, we'll be able to make money."

"..."

Wang Qiuyue scratched her hair in confusion. A duck egg dipped in a little batter could be sold for twelve cents?

"Things are valuable because they are rare. Now we are the only one who knows how to make it. It is the only one in the entire Nanyue Dynasty, so it sells for a higher price.

If everyone knew this recipe, there would be no difference between preserved eggs and ordinary duck eggs."

Wang Qiuyue nodded in agreement, carefully memorized the recipe and ingredients, and deftly picked up the duck eggs and put them into the batter. The method was so simple, she would make more when she had nothing to do. For every extra jar she sold, she would earn an extra ounce of silver.

The younger ones were not idle either. They found some wooden sticks and started working like the others.

"Hehe, sister, this is fun. Yue likes to do this."

Today, Song Anyue wore a goose yellow cotton skirt, with two small pigtails tied with a light blue hairband. She had a pair of big round eyes, and looked just like the dolls in the New Year pictures.

Song Anning looked at her sister and felt warm in her heart. She made her family better and better through her own efforts. This sense of accomplishment could not be bought with any amount of money.

"This paste will burn your hands, be careful and take your time."

"Ok!"

The three little ones nodded obediently, but because their hands were too small and they didn't have much strength, they often couldn't hold the wooden sticks and the duck eggs fell down.

But no one gave up. They stared at the duck eggs intently. If one time didn't work, they would try again. They wanted to help their sister with the work, the more the better.

When the first rays of sunlight shone down in the early morning, everyone in the courtyard had already pickled three jars of duck eggs.

Song An Ning and Wang Qiuyue were chatting about the village gossip. The three little ones were still wrestling with the wooden sticks in their hands, especially Song Anyue, who scratched her hair in distress. It was not fun anymore, not fun at all.

Seeing that the child was about to cry, Song An Ning lowered her head and smiled, went to the kitchen to find a rarely used wooden spoon, and put it in A Yue's hand.

"Ayue, you can't just give up when you encounter difficulties. If I feel it's difficult and give up the business, we will have to live the same life as before.

If this method doesn't work, let's try another one. Look, using a spoon to scoop up the duck eggs is much easier, isn't it?"

Song Anyue looked at the wooden stick in her hand, then at the wooden spoon in her sister's hand, and nodded confusedly.

She is still young and doesn't understand many things, but Song An Ning is prepared to teach her little by little, by words and deeds, starting with the little things around her, and she will eventually understand the truth.

After trying it with a spoon, she was able to scoop out the duck egg easily this time. Song Anyue's wrinkled face instantly brightened up.

"Sister, I picked up the duck eggs."

"Our Ah Yue is really amazing. This method is suitable for you, right?"

"Correct!"

Song Anyue responded sweetly, busy as always.

If you can’t use chopsticks, just use a spoon. Sister really has a solution!

"You're quite good at teaching children. Spoons are indeed faster than sticks. Let's go to town and buy a few more today."

Wang Qiuyue found herself a little funny. She had been busy in the kitchen all day, so how could she have forgotten about this? Picking up eggs with chopsticks is slower than using a spoon, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Since you're going to buy a new one, why not just use the old one first? It'll save you a lot of trouble."

She went around the kitchen, took a soup spoon from the stove, and found a dusty iron spoon in the cabinet. She and Wang Qiuyue each took one, doubling their efficiency.

I wanted to buy a few more from the mall, but then I thought, Wang Qiuyue is already familiar with her own kitchen, and it would be unreasonable for her to suddenly take out so many new spoons.

A Sheng and A Yuan had to bear with it and tried their best to hold the duck eggs, using all their strength.

This grinning look made the two of them laugh so hard that no one noticed that Wang Ying'er came back from the backyard and stood there staring at Song An Ning coldly.
