After returning to the inn room, Yun Zhizhi took off her shoes, lay comfortably on the bed, and began to call Xiao Donggua.

"Rotten winter melon, come out."

From her tone, it was clear that she was quite resentful about the place where she set up her stall, so Xiao Donggua had no choice but to bite the bullet and comfort her.

"Host, although there aren't many people at the stall this time, there's still a lot of room for creativity. Look at how you used local resources this time. You're quite resourceful."

Yun Zhizhi shook her feet and retorted, "It's not that there aren't many people, there's not even a single person. What do you mean by using local materials? This cost me two hundred and fifty taels of silver."

"Please ask the system to choose a more normal place next time. Just have pity on me!"

Seeing her tone suddenly become gentle and she acted cute to it, the little winter melon softened her heart and said, "Okay!"

Whether the system listens or not is another matter.

After confirming with Xiao Donggua what they were going to sell at the stall, Yun Zhizhi walked out of the room, called He Pingan over, and said softly, "Go to the western suburbs now and dig big holes in the four corners of the lotus field to drain the water."

He Pingan nodded quickly after hearing this and said, "I understand, Miss."

The silt in the lotus field in the western suburbs is very thick. If people were to go down and dig lotus roots directly, they would probably be exhausted and out of breath in less than an hour.

Therefore, it is necessary to release the water in the silt first. This way, it will be much easier for everyone to dig lotus roots.

After He Ping'an left, Yun Zhizhi turned to look at Xiao Tao and said, "Go ask the innkeeper to recommend two craftsmen who can build stoves."

After hearing this, Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, her face full of astonishment: "Miss, could it be that you asked the craftsman to build a stove so that you can strike while the iron is hot and cook all the sweet potatoes you bought today within the next few days?"

Yun Zhizhi didn't expect her to have such a rich imagination, so she teased, "Do you think the four of us can eat these two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes?"

Xiao Tao calculated silently, then said seriously, "We still need to stay here for nine days. It's not impossible for each of us to finish five kilograms of sweet potatoes every day."

Yun Zhizhi was amused by her and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, you think too highly of me and He Yang. Do you know what the consequences of eating too many sweet potatoes are?"

Xiao Tao looked puzzled, blinking her big eyes at Yun Zhizhi and asked curiously, "What are the consequences?"

Yun Zhizhi showed a sly smile on her face and lowered her voice: "Fart, and it's a very loud fart!"

"We're going to open our stall the day after tomorrow, so there's no need to welcome customers in such a unique way."

Xiaotao opened her mouth in surprise, then burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

"Yeah, if the four of us eat so many sweet potatoes every day, won't everyone around us be suffocated?"

Yun Zhizhi explained, "We went to find the craftsmen to build a few large stoves in the western suburbs. They'll be useful when we set up our stall."

Xiao Tao suddenly realized and patted her head lightly.

Oh, yes, she almost forgot that the lady planned to use such a unique sales strategy as selling fresh lotus roots while offering tasting service to attract customers' attention.

"I'll go find the shopkeeper right away."

After saying that, Xiaotao walked out with light steps.

At the same time, Yun Zhizhi and He Yang were not idle either.

One read and the other wrote, and they worked in perfect harmony and quickly wrote down all the lotus root recipes.

"Lazy Sheep, please help me write another announcement."

Then, Yun Zhizhi started reading again. Before He Yang even started writing, he was already attracted by the content of the announcement she was talking about.

"Boss, are you planning to invite everyone to the lotus fields in the western suburbs to watch acrobatic performances and opera for free?"

He Yang widened his eyes with an incredible expression.

It’s just selling vegetables, but in addition to providing free samples, it now also plans to provide entertainment for the people.

It seems that the boss has really invested a lot of money this time.

Then he pressed the issue, "But is there any point in doing this? Will we lose money?"

Yun Zhizhi glanced at him, picked up the pear on the table and took a bite, responding while eating: "You don't understand, this is a gimmick!"

She paused and continued to explain, "The main purpose of setting up a stage in that secluded place in the western suburbs is not to attract the people of Yizhou to come and watch the performance, but to attract them to come, let them discover our stall, be attracted by the taste of lotus root dishes, and eventually come to buy lotus root."

"Also, I've calculated that we can earn at least four hundred taels of silver this time. Although it's a little less than last time, it's not bad. Don't worry."

After hearing this, He Yang couldn't help but marvel at it. He gave Yun Zhizhi a thumbs-up and praised her, "Boss, your trick is really brilliant!"

the other side.

Chenjia Village was already in an uproar.

Almost all the villagers gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village, whispering and talking.

"Do you think what the Chen brothers said is true? Why does it feel like a dream?"

"They're two honest people, so they probably wouldn't brag. And the generous boss will come to our village tomorrow to select candidates. We'll know the truth then."

"Two hundred wen a day! That's an astronomical sum. I never dared to think about it before. I really hope I can be chosen by that boss."

…………

The head of Chen Village excitedly shouted to the crowd, "I completely believe what the Chen brothers said, and I am very grateful to them for bringing this God of Wealth to our village."

Then he continued, "Alright, everyone go home! If you want to sign up, remember to come here early tomorrow to wait for the host."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and its afterglow shines on every corner of Yizhou City.

At this time, a brand new notice was posted on every street in Yizhou City, whether in a conspicuous bustling area or a secluded alley.

These announcements attracted the attention of many people, who stopped to watch.

A handsome scholar was among the crowd. He read the notice aloud, "Starting the day after tomorrow, for seven consecutive days, there will be free acrobatic and opera performances for everyone to watch at the lotus fields in the western suburbs."

Upon hearing the news, the people around immediately became excited.

One of the ladies was surprised and asked in disbelief, "Really? Who would be so generous as to let us ordinary people watch it for free?"

An old man nearby responded seriously, "Who else could it be? It must be the government. They're paying for us to watch a play, probably to entertain us ordinary people. Who else would be so bored as to spend money on such a show? Unless they have a hole in their brains."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.
