The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

But it's unacceptable that someone who has clearly helped the villagers increase their income ends up being blamed.

Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai both laughed and said, "Of course, that's why we booked five days. Five days is still affordable for both of us, but I can't guarantee more than that."

"That's great, that's great." The village chief was relieved and very happy.

However, after being the village chief for so many years, there are still some things that need to be clarified.

The village chief then asked, "Those families who have had conflicts with your family..."

Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai were silent for a moment before they both said, "Village Chief, you know how we are. Regarding those conflicts we've had, which one was our fault?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief nodded repeatedly. They were all from the same village, so everyone knew each other's character. Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai were not at fault; it was all someone else's fault.

Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai: "We are not that broad-minded. We are ordinary people. We cannot forgive those who have hurt us like saints, let alone help them.

What our two families can do is that no matter what happened in the past, as long as those people stop causing trouble, we can just let it go and not pursue anything."

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief nodded. Even if it was just like that, the character of the two families was beyond reproach.

After all, how many people can be so kind as to not mind at all when someone has hurt them deeply, and forgive and help those who have hurt them?

Since that was the case, the village chief did not notify the gossipy families of Jiang Er'an, Jiang Facai, Aunt Lu, and several other families that had had conflicts with the two families. He only informed other families in the village.

Even the Xiao family and the village chief went to tell them.

It's just that the Xiao family has been busy in the bean product workshop recently, and they are very busy every day. They are busy with their own business, so how can they have time to pick lily fruits? Naturally, they told the village chief at the time that they would not go.

The village chief probably expected that they were too busy and would not go, so he was not surprised.

However, when the other people in the village learned that the unwanted ficus pumila seeds were actually eight cents per pound, they were so eager to take their entire family out to the mountains to pick them that very night.

But it was not safe at night, so everyone had to endure the itch and wait for the next day to pick them as soon as there was some light.

Xiao Yan didn't come back until dark. Seeing him come back, Jiang Ningning and the others cut the watermelon.

The watermelon has been chilled, and even though it is dark, it is still quite hot, so it is just right to eat this chilled watermelon.

However, because Jiang Ningning left a bowl of ice jelly for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan naturally didn't eat so much watermelon. He only ate one piece and then finished the ice jelly.

The next day, just after dawn, almost all the villagers went out with their families to pick lychees on the hills.

Almost the entire village chief's family also went out.

Because everyone was in a hurry to pick the ficus pumila fruits, take out the ficus pumila seeds inside, dry them and sell them, no one had time to ask Jiang Ningning what they wanted to do with the ficus pumila seeds.

It was only when they saw that almost all the villagers had gone to the mountains to pick lychees that Jiang Facai, Jiang Eran, Aunt Lu and other families learned about this.

Jiang Facai and the others didn't go to the village chief to ask anything. When they heard that Jiang Ningning and the others wanted to buy ficus pumila seeds, they knew that this money-making matter had nothing to do with them.

But there was one person who was not tactful enough to ask the village chief angrily why he didn't notify them.

The village chief still has some emotional intelligence, so he naturally won't bring bad luck to Jiang Ningning and the others.

The village chief said, "Even if I tell you, you still have the nerve to come pick them! Even if you have the nerve to come pick them, you still have the nerve to sell them to Ning girl and Yan boy! Don't you think about what you said and did before?"

The man seemed to realize the problem only then. He could no longer stay and left quickly with shame on his face.

It took only three days, not five, to pick all the lychee fruits on the surrounding hills.

By the evening of the fourth day, all the ficus pumila seeds extracted from the ficus pumila fruits were sold to Jiang Ningning's family.

Some people even went to other places to pick litchi fruits.

When the five-day deadline was up, Jiang Ningning and the others stopped collecting the ficus pumila seeds. However, the amount of ficus pumila seeds they had collected during those five days was more than enough for their needs.

Some families in the village have many people, and each family has earned nearly two taels of silver in total over the past few days.

In the few days that followed, I earned at least three or four hundred coins.

The village chief's family earned nearly one or two taels of silver in total.

All in all, everyone who participated was very happy. It was amazing that we made so much money in just five days.

It was also the day when the villagers started picking and splitting lychees. Jiang Ningning had already asked the shops and stalls to promote the new item, ice jelly, and said that it would be sold the next day.

Sure enough, on the fifth day of June, Jiang Ningning and his friends hung up a sign that read "Jiang Xiaobingfen" on their shop and stall.

Whether it is chilled ice jelly or ice jelly with ice added, it is icy cold, topped with brown sugar water and various small ingredients, and has a rich flavor. Everyone who has tried it says it is delicious, and no one says it is not delicious.

Business naturally picked up again during the day, and even at night there was a constant stream of people coming to eat ice jelly.

There is also a constant stream of people buying ice jelly to take away.

On the first day of selling ice jelly, the net profit of the shop and stall reached a new high of 80 taels.

Later, the net profit could even reach 120 taels a day.

With business so booming, there was naturally not enough manpower, so Jiang Ningning had to hire a few more people.

Now we hire people directly from the county, for example, the waiters are all from the county.

Those who live in the county naturally don’t have to worry about the hassle of being picked up by horse-drawn carriage, which also saves costs.

However, with so many people hired and now the ice jelly business, things have become more complicated, especially when it comes to money. If people just remember it in their heads and then summarize it to Jiang Ningning, who then records it in the account book, there may be omissions.

Jiang Ningning thought that the shop should have a manager.

The big stall also needs a manager, after all, there is no less work to do in the big stall than in the shop.

That means we have to hire two shop managers.

But if she recruited a shopkeeper herself, how could she fully understand whether the shopkeeper was reliable and trustworthy just by meeting him a few times? So Jiang Ningning wanted to go to the pawnshop and ask it to recommend two shopkeepers to her.

This world has a guarantor system, and it is extremely strict.

If the person being recommended commits a crime, the guarantor will be held jointly guilty.

For example, the pawnshop acted as a guarantor and allowed her to hire a shopkeeper. If this shopkeeper turned out to be unreliable in the future or even ran away with her money, the pawnshop, as the guarantor, would have to take responsibility for the shopkeeper and compensate her for all her losses.

Therefore, the brokerage firm will not easily give guarantees to others.

Those people recommended by the pawnshop guarantor have all been screened and strictly examined by the pawnshop. If not your ancestors for eight generations, at least your ancestors for five generations will be checked.

Even the relatives and friends of those people were checked.

Basically there won't be any problems.
