It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

That girl who is very eloquent and clever.

Zhou Yu didn't know what he was thinking about, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

It seems that it is not strange to hear these words coming out of the girl's mouth.

After all, she dared to give Cao Shi suggestions in front of him.

It's not surprising that she was the one who made the suggestion again this time.

Zhou Yu suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Why did Miss Song tell you this?"

"Master, the golden jade cakes in our shop are made by her. After a few interactions, she knew that our shop belongs to you, Master..."

Zhou Yu didn't know that she was the one who made the golden jade cake. She was quite a clever and skillful person.

He didn't dwell on the topic any further. He stood up and ordered, "If she comes to the shop again tomorrow, keep her there first and then send someone to notify me."

After saying that, he walked out of the shop without waiting for Manager Zhou to answer.

Shopkeeper Zhou followed behind him and accompanied him to the door until his young master was far away, then he returned to the shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he reminded the busy shop assistant that when Song Zhi came to the shop tomorrow, he must keep her and not let her leave.

As long as the young master came to the shop in person, he knew that the young master must be very concerned about the proposal.

At this time, Manager Zhou felt a little regretful. Why didn't he keep the person first, causing his young master to make a wasted trip.

Shopkeeper Zhou reflected on his own lack of consideration.

On the other side, Song Zhi followed the ox cart back home. The ox cart delivering the jelly had just left home.

When Mrs. Wu saw her granddaughter coming back, she didn't even wait for her to put down the basket and pulled her back.

As Song Zhi followed Wu into the room, she asked in confusion, "Grandma, what's wrong? Why do you look so mysterious?"

"That's right. Maybe the jelly business in the city is booming, and the villagers are tempted by it."

"After you went to the county town today, some villagers asked me if I could make some jelly to sell."

Song Zhi said generously, "If they can handle it at home, why not let them do it themselves? Why do they have to come to our house to exchange it? Isn't that redundant?"

Mrs. Wu glanced at her granddaughter who was very thoughtful.

He explained, "This is the agreement the clan leader made with the villagers. We have to wait until our family finishes the work for half a month before we are allowed to make jelly."

"Firstly, I'm worried that those families with fewer people will feel unbalanced. After all, everyone wants to make more money. Secondly, I'm also worried that some people only care about their own business and will be perfunctory when they come here to work, which will make people look down on them!"

Song Zhi had to admit that the clan leader was very thoughtful.

She thought for a moment and asked, "There's no problem selling it to the villagers, but there's a problem now. Can you produce so much?"

Mrs. Wu thought for a moment and said, "With so many people now, there's nothing we can't do. We just need to grind a few more beans at night."

"But we only have two pots at home right now. After all, making jelly takes time, so this will affect the amount of jelly we can make. What do you think about me borrowing a big pot from the clan leader's house?"

The more Wu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She slapped her thigh and said, "If this is the case, we'll have enough jelly to give to the villagers."

She was about to leave happily, but suddenly thought of something and stopped, "Oh, by the way, if the villagers exchange jelly with us, what price should we give them?"

"Just give it to the villagers at two cents each."

In this way, you can earn a penny by selling a piece of jelly. Since jelly is a novel food now, people are willing to buy it. Selling jelly for a day will definitely earn you more than working for a day.

Wu calculated it in her mind and felt that it was feasible.

She stopped talking to her granddaughter and ran out with her arms swinging.

Song Zhi couldn't help but smile when she saw her grandmother acting so impetuous.

After her grandmother left, Song Zhi went back to the house, changed into her usual clothes, and continued to make and prepare tea.

It wasn't until the evening, when the villagers had finished work and were returning home, that Wu finally told them, "Today, someone told me that they wanted to mix some jelly and sell it."

"Well, I've brought back an iron pot today. Tomorrow morning, everyone will work hard to build a stove. If anyone wants to exchange it for jelly, please do so. I'll exchange it for one yuan and two cents each."

The villagers became agitated as soon as they heard this.

The Song family has been making jelly these past two days. I have really seen it. They make more than 600 pieces of jelly every day and sell them without any effort.

However, the clan leader had already said so, so they couldn't follow his lead in the next half month.

But everyone is really excited. If they can't do it for the time being, it would be fine if they can sell it. It can be regarded as a trial sale in advance.

Someone asked Wu with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the matter would be settled like this.

Those who had more labor in the family couldn't wait to say to Wu: "Hey, Auntie, don't wait until tomorrow. It's still early now. Let's build a clay stove next to the straw shed!"

"That way, we can just do it tomorrow morning without wasting any time."

"I think it's okay. We don't need that many people. Just three or five men will be enough. The others can go back first. We will build a clay stove before we go."

Wu wanted to persuade everyone to go back and rest after a busy day, as it wouldn't take much effort to build it tomorrow.

The men didn't even give Wu a chance to speak, and they carried their farm tools and went back to the straw hut.

Seeing that Wu seemed to be hesitant to speak, the women hurriedly advised, "Aunt, why don't you just let them go?"

"Yeah, but it's just a temporary stove, and there are so many people helping out, so it won't be too much trouble."

What else could Wu say? She could only let them go.

The villagers ran back home excitedly and told their families about this.

Among them, Erji, after helping to build the stove, ran back home excitedly and told his father the good news.

"Starting tomorrow, we can go to Uncle Youshan's house to mix some jelly and sell it. Dad, do you think we should mix some jelly tomorrow to test the waters?"

Song Guangyun sat up straight at once. "Really? How much will you give us for each piece?"

Erji nodded, "This was said in front of all of us. He said he would give us two coins at a time."

In this way, he could earn a penny by selling one piece. He had heard that this jelly was very popular in the city.

He didn't hesitate and immediately said, "This can be done!"

Erji nodded, "I thought so too."

He had been called back from the Wang family's farm by his father before, and he had been worried about the situation at home.

Fortunately, I met Uncle Dashan who was teaching people how to make jelly.

Now, as long as he learns this skill, he won’t have to worry about losing his job at the Wang family!
