Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

He was so angry at Yun Ying that Master Yun's mouth was covered in sweet potato honey.

However, its tongue still honestly stuck out and licked it twice; the taste was indeed very peculiar.

Compared to their slovenly appearance, Yunzhen and the others were much more elegant.

The man casually scooped up a spoonful with the spoon brought by a servant and ate it, followed by some polite words.

"It's so-so! Compared to rice and flour, these two new products don't have a big market."

"Besides 500 tons of rice and about 100 tons of flour, how much of these two things do you have?"

Yun Zhen cut to the chase and asked.

Meng Tong replied with a smile, "Around 300 tons, the rest are all seasonal fruits."

“Hmm.” Yunzhen continued, looking like she understood, “The Yun family will take both the rice and the flour, but we only need half of these two things.”

"No, I want them all."

Yunying objected, saying he loved sweet potatoes and potatoes and why his second brother had to cut the amount in half.

Yunzhen ignored him and continued to look into Meng Tong's eyes, saying, "Madam should be well aware that not everyone can accept new things."

"Yeah, I understand."

It's normal for some people to like sweet potatoes while others don't, and Meng Tong can accept that.

With a smile in her eyes and a hint of appreciation, Yun Zhen had already taken over the reins from Master Yun.

It seems he was the one who ultimately negotiated.

Sheng Xiu, who had been silent, also looked up at this moment.

The two stared at each other, and an invisible battle seemed to be brewing in the air.

"After saying all that, does the Yun family actually have the financial strength to purchase so much grain?"

"Don't blame Sheng Xiu for being nosy. You've all seen and tasted this grain. I don't need to say more about whether it's good or not."

"Everyone has their own opinion. Just because Young Master Yun doesn't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Whether to buy it or not is up to the Yun family."

"As sellers, we only talk about price."

After dragging on for so long, the topic has finally come to the real point. The Yun family is also getting a little heated because of Sheng Xiu's question about whether they can afford it.

However, it is still important to maintain a rational mindset.

This deal was no small sum; even a difference of just one coin could mean a difference of hundreds or even thousands of taels.

In the past, the Yun family would not have taken it seriously, but things are different now.

These are things that need to be taken seriously, otherwise we wouldn't have mentioned Master Yun's coffin money.

We should at least let the old man pass away with dignity. Doesn't he know whether his son is reliable or not?

What followed was a war of words, and this was the first time Meng Tong had ever seen Sheng Xiu talk so much.

"Rice costs 30 coins per pound, flour costs 25 coins per pound, and sweet potatoes and potatoes cost 25 coins per pound."

This is the result of the final, fierce battle between Sheng Xiu and Yun Zhen.

Meng Tong was very satisfied, even more so than she had expected.

Once the price was agreed upon, things moved quickly from there.

They agreed to meet outside the village ten days later, and then Meng Tong and the other two returned to the guest house to rest.

……

The next day.

After having breakfast at the Yun family's house, Meng Tong and the other five left.

Yunying originally wanted to follow, but after being scolded by Master Yun, she angrily went back to her room.

After leaving the village, the six continued along the official road.

Ten days is neither a long nor a short time.

During this period, Meng Tong sold more than 100,000 jin of grain, earning several thousand taels in revenue.

On the night of the ninth day, Meng Tong used the "green carpet" to rush back to Yunjia Village.

On a flat wasteland five kilometers away from the village, Meng Tong took out nearly eight hundred tons of grain from his spatial storage.

This is simply spectacular compared to before.

Bag after bag of grain was neatly piled up, forming a mountain.

The next day, the Yun family arrived with their people as promised to pick up the goods.

Five hundred tons of rice brought in 30,000 taels of revenue, one hundred tons of flour brought in 5,000 taels of revenue, and one hundred and fifty tons of sweet potatoes and potatoes brought in 7,500 taels of revenue, for a total of 42,500 taels of revenue plus a 100-tael sack of money.

This was a truly big deal; it brought them into the ranks of the wealthy.

Once the money is exchanged for the goods and everything is confirmed to be correct, the transaction is complete.

That night, without stopping, Meng Tong went straight to the capital and began a real shopping spree.

The capital city was indeed very prosperous at night, and people's clothes were much more gorgeous than in other places.

Everywhere there were cheerful shouts of vendors, the sounds of children playing, and the clatter of hooves as carriages passed by—in short, a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

Of course, we must ignore the skeletons frozen to death in the corners of the walls and the starving refugees outside the city.

Meng Tong had little sympathy; she was numb to the scene.

After arriving in the capital and settling into an inn, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong went straight out to go shopping.

Cheng Mian also took Sheng Zhuzhu to see the lanterns, while Sheng Xiu and Sheng Yu stayed obediently at the inn.

After all, being too handsome does carry some risks.

On the bustling street, a man dressed in a black brocade robe, his strong and handsome features now softened.

The woman on one side was aloof and beautiful, her pale yellow dress making her look somewhat charming.

The handsome men and beautiful women were unusually eye-catching, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

The two browsed through all sorts of shops, from clothing stores and jewelry shops to pastry shops.

They bought so much stuff that they couldn't even fit it all in the store. Watching the deliverymen going door to door delivering goods, Sheng Yu and Sheng Xiu felt a headache coming on.

Having spent three whole days in the capital, Meng Tong practically scoured the entire city.

One night, unable to sleep, she even sneaked into the palace for a stroll.

It's good, but it's also really oppressive.

Of course, the national treasury is also really empty; it doesn't even have as much money as she does!

Looking at the space filled with all the things, Meng Tong smiled with satisfaction. Now he could build a street exactly like the one in the capital!

……

Early July.

Meng Tong and his group of six returned to Laoshan Town, and their first priority was to block the exit of Pingkou Village again. This time, Meng Tong specially made a gate.

Don't let its ordinary appearance fool you; no one can enter without her permission.

It was already afternoon when they returned to Duanshan Village. The children were all taking a nap, and only Sheng Bing was at home.

Seeing Lu Chuan and the others enter the courtyard, Sheng Bing was pleasantly surprised and then put down the bamboo weaving in his hand.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

"I'll be back as soon as I'm done with my work," Sheng Zhuzhu said with a smile. "Fourth Uncle, where are my parents?"

"He went to work in the fields."

"what!!"

Sheng Zhuzhu's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.

Meng Tong also found it novel.

Leading the people into the house, Sheng Bing explained with a smile, "Ever since your grandfather came, he's been restless. Chuan'er and the others have planted hundreds of acres of land, and your grandfather carries a hoe to weed every day. Eventually, your parents also passed away."

"What about Shengzhou and the others? They wouldn't have gone to the fields too, would they?"

"No!" Sheng Bing handed the poured water to the group, his face darkening. "Something came up on Dawn Island, so they went back."
