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

Song An Ning also had a look of joy on her face, and told the price in detail.

"Really? Aning, you didn't lie to me?"

"Are the peppers we grow really that valuable? But Zuixianju has already grown them, and they can still be sold at such a high price?"

"Damn Zuixianju, will they try to trip us up in secret?"

Although everyone was happy about the good prices for peppers and eggplants, they felt insecure after what happened at Zuixianju, fearing that someone would come out to cause trouble and ruin their business again.

Song Anning patiently answered:

“My dear elders, you should know that chili peppers will gradually spread to the market. In three to five years, the entire Nanyue Dynasty will have chili peppers, and by then they will no longer be sold at this price.

Since there is nothing in the south now, we can take this opportunity to make some money.

In order to have a supply during the winter, I have to buy a piece of land in the south. When winter comes, people from our village will need to go there to grow peppers.

We can divide ourselves into three groups and take turns going over, and when the money is earned we can share it equally among ourselves.

Those of you in the village should not sit idle, study more recipes. If we can make the same thing taste good and look good in different ways, we will be better than others.

If everyone agrees, let’s do it.”

The villagers agreed without thinking.

"I agree! How can I not agree?

Aning, you do all this for us. Even if we don't share the money, we are willing to go south to help you farm. After all, there is nothing to do in the winter, and it is better than staying at home."

"Yes! What are you doing with your free time? We old men can endure hardships, so we can go to the south and farm.

Leave my wife and children at home to research the recipe, and let's all work together. With so many people, the energy will definitely be of some use."

“Okay, since everyone agrees, I will buy the land and make preparations.

Let's work together to make Banyue Village better and better!"

"it is good!"

Bai Zhi looked at this group of people and nodded slightly. The people in this village were a little different from those she had seen before.

The village of nearly a thousand people is more united than a family. With this spirit, there is nothing this group of people can't accomplish.

What Song Anning said was unanimously agreed by everyone. She didn't say anything more and called on the villagers to come forward to weigh the goods and take the silver.

At this time, someone secretly approached Wang Ying'er and spoke hesitantly:

"Um, Sister-in-law Song, I want to ask you for a favor."

Wang Ying'er and Qin Yuanying had just brought in a basket of preserved eggs. After a while, she couldn't think of what they wanted from her, so she tentatively replied:

"As long as I can help, I will definitely agree. You guys tell me first."

The young wives spoke shyly:

"My sister-in-law wove a lot of backpacks when she was sick. Can we buy a few? The ones we have at home are not enough."

Wang Ying'er thought of the hundreds of backpacks piled up in the backyard of her mother-in-law's house, and felt a little embarrassed, but she agreed readily.

"What's the big deal? Selling peppers is important. Just go to my father-in-law's backyard and get them."

"A backpack in town costs eight cents each. We'll give your sister-in-law ten cents. We'll pay you back after we sell the peppers. It's a mess now."

Selling peppers was a happy occasion for the whole village. Wang Ying'er didn't expect that the baskets she wove would also be loved by everyone. Not long after, more than a hundred baskets were snatched away, which was worth more than one or two taels of silver.

She didn't rely on anyone else, she earned it all by herself!

Thinking of this, Wang Ying'er became much more energetic, walking with a brisk pace and full of energy.

With the village head and the manager here, Song An Ning and others decided to take another boat to Tongchuan Prefecture to get the contract stamped. By the time they come back, the village affairs will be almost done.

After saying a few words to their family members, they stood on the boat, looking at the villagers holding the silver in their hands, smiling so hard that their teeth were showing. They also waved to Song An Ning on the boat and said many words of thanks.

Even after the boat had sailed far away, Song An Ning could still vaguely hear the voices of the villagers on the shore.

With Baizhi and Old Man Pan around, things went smoothly. The registration and stamping only took half a cup of tea.

On the way back, Song An Ning thought of Su Chen and A Li that Xiangxiang had just seen, and couldn't help but smile.

They moved their position and hid in an inconspicuous yard. After two beatings, the internal organs of both of them were damaged to varying degrees. Su Chen had three fractures and Ali had four. The bruises on his face had not yet faded, and he looked very embarrassed.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. They are lying in bed unable to move, so naturally they have no intention of rebelling or harming others.

The boat was moving very slowly, and the three masters and apprentices talked a lot on the boat, some about business and some about the plague in Ping'an Town.

In the past few days, the epidemic has stabilized a lot. The number of infected people is still increasing, but the symptoms are getting milder and milder. In addition, the people sent by the emperor arrived in Ping'an Town yesterday and have begun to connect with the people in Yaowang Valley.

Everything was moving in a good direction. Song Anning looked at the sunset in the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tomorrow will be another good day, the mess will finally be over, and she can go hiking and swimming in the sea again!

When we returned to Banyue Village, it was already dark, but the boat was full of cargo and we couldn't delay.

Song Anning took the bag her mother had packed for her, said goodbye to her family and Old Man Pan, and followed her senior sister south.

"Aning, we're getting off the boat in Linhai Town. We can't delay shipping the peppers and eggplants, so we have to ship them back first.

Tomorrow morning we'll go check out the milk tea shop and then find a boat to the south..."

"it is good……"

That night, the two of them ate and walked around Linhai Town, talked about many personal things, and their relationship became closer than before.

The next morning, they came out of the inn and prepared to go to Chen Guanghui's milk tea shop.

As soon as I arrived at the street where the milk tea shop was located, I saw a long queue in front of the shop and heard several people talking about the milk tea shop.

"I came early today, why are there still so many people queuing?

Given our positions, we can’t buy it today.”

"That's right, my wife loves milk tea, and I've been queuing for days.

I have to say, it's sweet and has a tea aroma, so it's really delicious."

"Hahaha, I hope I can buy two cups today..."

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up when she heard this. A business that caught her eye would definitely be profitable. Linhai Town had a small population, but business was already booming. She couldn't imagine what kind of grand occasion it would be if it took over Huaichuan Prefecture.

"Aning, if I'm not mistaken, these people are all queuing up to buy milk tea and fruit tea, right?"

"Yes, seeing them like this makes me want to open one in Ping'an Town.

Senior Sister, let's go to the shop and help out. It's a good opportunity for you to see the milk tea making process and learn more about it."

"That's exactly what I meant. Let's go over there quickly."
