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

Wu slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me, I completely forgot about this!"

Making mung bean jelly is actually hard work. From grinding, to scrubbing the starch, to boiling, each step requires a lot of labor.

The hardest and most important part is cooking.

It needs to be simmered over low heat until it becomes a paste, little by little. This process is extremely labor-intensive and demanding.

So if you only have one pot at home, you definitely won’t have enough time to cook a lot.

She said anxiously, "The stove is easy. When people come, we can just build one next to the kitchen. What if we don't have enough pots?"

"Grandma, you forgot, I ordered one from the blacksmith shop. I can pick it up tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, yes, see how I had forgotten all about it!"

The grandfather and grandson were talking when they heard the voices of villagers outside the door.

"Is my aunt at home?"

One villager excitedly said, "We heard from the clan leader that Auntie is going to teach us how to make jelly? Are you kidding us?"

Mrs. Wu went out to greet them with a smile. "It's already been said, how can it be false? Let's all sit in the courtyard first. Wait for the clan leader to notify everyone to arrive, and then we can make arrangements together."

Among the people who came, there were men and women. Everyone walked into the Song family courtyard laughing and joking.

The small farmyard suddenly became lively.

Lying on the bed, Song Youshan felt like he was being scratched by a cat when he heard the laughter outside.

His mother and daughter-in-law were really something. They put him on the bed and didn't even come to tell him what jelly was.

He felt really uncomfortable after hearing just a few words.

Just when he was wondering if the two had forgotten about him.

Yang finally brought in a bowl of steamed egg custard.

"What's going on outside? It sounds like a lot of people are coming."

Yang then remembered that when they were discussing the jelly, she had neglected to ask her husband's opinion.

Yang also said with a guilty conscience: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that Ah Zhi took us to do the jelly business some time ago, and now we have taken over the tea business from the traveling merchants.

"I'm too busy now, so I want to hand over the jelly business to the villagers."

"Everyone heard the news and came home!"

Song Youshan had never tasted jelly, so he didn't know how popular it was in the city.

So I don’t feel sorry about it.

Seeing that it was his niece's idea, he didn't ask any more questions and instead asked about the food in his wife's hand.

In fact, Yang was still very reluctant in her heart, but she also understood that her niece's choice at this time was the best.

While mung bean jelly is popular, teach it to the villagers.

The villagers remember the kindness of their family, and if the Wang family really wants to retaliate against them, the villagers will not sit idly by.

Yang calmed herself down, carefully helped her husband up, and fed him egg custard.

Song Youshan ate with a satisfied look on his face, and half-jokingly said to his wife:

"I didn't expect that even if I broke my hand, I would still be served and given egg custard to eat. This injury is really worth it!"

Looking at her husband who was so thin that he was out of shape, she still had the mood to joke.

I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart, but I complained: "You are so grown up, and you still say such childish things!"

"He's not even as good as Ah Chengdu..."

The couple in the house were chatting, but more and more villagers were gathering in the small farmyard.

Everyone was chattering, obviously very excited about learning how to make jelly.

"Here he comes, here he comes, the patriarch is here!"

The villagers standing by the door watched as Chief Song led a group of people hurried over.

There were several villagers following behind him, obviously the last few people to be notified.

The originally noisy yard suddenly became quiet because of these words.

The Song clan leader hurried over to Wu and said, "Doctor Zheng won't participate. Guangfa is the only one in his family, so he won't join in the fun. As for the remaining twenty-eight households, each should send one person."

Chief Song then loudly asked the villagers, "Everyone, look at each other. Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

"Everyone is here, everyone is here, let's start, Auntie!" a villager said impatiently.

"That's not right. I don't think I've seen Hu Lan!"

Everyone looked around, but they really didn't see her.

It's really strange. Hu Lan is unwilling to come for such a great thing.

Someone smart enough to realize something pulled the person who was speaking, signaling her not to mention it.

Sure enough, without waiting for the other party to ask questions.

Wu said, "It was my idea not to call her Hu Lan."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Well, if someone instigates their own children to come back and make trouble with the elders, it would be polite not to go to their house to fight.

Besides, if one more person learns, there will be one more competitor, and no one has any objection to that.

Song Youtian was the only one in the crowd, and his expression was not very natural.

At this moment, he felt guilty and angry, but he could do nothing about it.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Wu continued, "I'm sure everyone has heard from the clan leader about the conditions for coming to my place to make jelly, right?"

"I know, I know, I know everything! Aren't we just doing half a month's work at home? Auntie, just follow your orders. If you say we go east, we will never go west!"

"That's right, if you can teach us how to make this jelly, I'll come even if it takes a month, not to mention half a month!"

Everyone laughed happily and agreed.

"No, we are all from the same village. The skill of making jelly is not something precious. If everyone learns it, it will give us another way to make a living and make our lives more comfortable."

"Well, in case anyone is still confused about what we're going to do over the next ten days, I'll give you a rough outline of what to do to avoid any further disputes."

Mrs. Wu then explained in detail the work that needed to be done. After listening to it, although everyone was confused about why they had to pick the leaves, everyone's attention was now focused on learning how to make jelly.

Without asking any further questions, everyone agreed.

Someone even said anxiously: "Oh, Auntie, let's get started. We accept all of this!"

As summer gradually approaches, the days get hotter day by day. Half a month later, the demand for jelly is at its peak.

The Huang family, who had witnessed the booming jelly business, and the villagers who had tasted the jelly, were all very excited.

Seeing that everyone was so anxious, Mrs. Wu did not waste any time and directly ordered twelve men to help build a thatched hut and a simple stove.

The remaining sixteen women were gathered together by Song Zhi.
