At the time, she was designing a new type of threshing machine. Yu Banxia was fortunate enough to participate once. Her best friend made a small threshing machine that was half the height of a person using wood and iron.

However, that was automatic. She could modify it to make it manual or foot-operated, which should also work, since she has such a capable uncle.

"Approximately how much refined flour do you have left in your shop?"

"Replying to the young lady, I'll go take a look." The waiter was a little confused, but still responded.

Yu Banxia nodded. He hurriedly ran to check the account book, and after reading it, he ran back and said, "Miss, we still have 130 catties of refined flour in our shop and warehouse, but the new wheat will be coming soon."

"Okay, I'll take them all, and I'll take all the soybean oil too."

"I'll take as many as you have, but you'll need to deliver them to Anping Village, is that alright?"

"No problem, but miss, do you think you can finish all this?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Yu Banxia raised her hand, and the waiter didn't say anything more.

After quickly calculating and recording the accounts, he walked up to Yu Banxia and said, "Fine flour is six coins per pound, soybean oil is twenty coins per pound, and fine flour is one hundred and thirty pounds, which is seven hundred and eighty coins in total."

"Ninety catties of soybean oil cost 1,800 wen, for a total of 2,580 wen."

"Alright, I'll give you one and a half taels of silver first, and I'll settle the remaining one tael with you when it's delivered."

"Let me tell your employer that I have a long-term need for flour, sugar, and soybean oil, and I will also need soybeans and mung beans in the future. Would your employer be willing to cooperate with me long-term?"

Yu Banxia directly gave him one and a half taels of silver, while saying to the shopkeeper.

The waiter's eyes lit up: "Is what you're saying true, young lady?"

“Of course, it’s real gold and silver,” Yu Banxia replied with a smile.

The waiter quickly replied, "I will definitely report back to the master. Where in Anping Village should I take the girl?"

"Just go directly to Yu Tongsheng's house."

"Okay, I've got it. I'll deliver it to you this afternoon." The waiter rudely saw the person out.

Yu Banxia went to two other shops. She didn't see any white sugar at the first shop, but she did at the second shop, and like the first shop, she ordered all of it.

The shop assistant at Guo's grain and oil shop stood at the door waiting for her for a while, and only spat when he saw her leave directly in a donkey cart.

A donkey cart is inconspicuous and makes things easier.

"Miss is back, Young Master Yu." The servant rushed out to greet her warmly upon seeing her arrival.

"Look carefully, this is for you." Yu Banxia handed him some milk candy. The servant was not very old, only a teenager.

I was a little curious when I saw what was wrapped in oil paper.

He opened one and stuffed it into his mouth, instantly squinting his eyes in satisfaction. He then sat directly on the donkey cart, showing it to his daughter.

He then discovered that the donkey wasn't tied up at all, and it wasn't moving at all.

Seeing several brightly colored objects in the bag on the donkey's back, the servant walked over and curiously picked one up to examine it.

The donkey immediately looked at him. The servant looked at the donkey, then at the thing in his hand, and instantly understood.

This was its food, and they quickly fed it to the donkey's mouth.

The donkey brayed happily a few times and began to eat with gusto. The servant sniffed it and it seemed to smell rather sweet.

The donkey immediately looked at him warily, and the servant quickly said, both amused and exasperated, "Although it's delicious, I wouldn't steal your food. I have candy from the girl."

As he spoke, he peeled another one and put it in his mouth.

He kept the rest and planned to let his parents, brothers, and sisters try them later.

"Why is Xiaxia here today?" Zhang Wanqing knew that Yu Banxia had already entered the Ink Bamboo Garden by the time she arrived.

Yu Banxia looked at Zhang Wanqing, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Mother, you've changed quite a bit."

Yu Mangui didn't look around carelessly, since the women in his family had already used it, and now they all showed changes. At first, the men in his family were quite surprised.

Later, my sister said that men could use it too, but they all thought that a man who was so fair-skinned was not attractive at all.

They used anti-wrinkle products, and the results were excellent. Even his father looks several years younger now and appears more refined and cultured.

"Xiaxia, your stuff is the best. I think this business will be incredibly successful." Zhang Wanqing touched her cheek shyly; she was genuinely excited.

When she woke up this morning and saw herself in the bronze mirror, it was as if she saw her younger self.

Thinking of her husband's reaction that morning, Zhang Wanqing covered her mouth and laughed again.

“Once things are settled in the village, my daughter will come to visit me, and then we’ll go to the county to find markets,” Yu Banxia said with a smile, linking arms with Zhang Wanqing.

Qian Qiwen also recovered from his shock and looked at his newly recognized younger sister, feeling deeply moved.

This younger sister is truly like a fairy descended from heaven; it seems like nothing can stump her.

"Fourth brother is recovering very well. He was able to get up and go out for a walk in his wheelchair this afternoon." Yu Banxia had already examined Zhang Wanqing before he came.

Hearing that he could finally leave, Qian Qiwen was very happy.

It seems that it won't be long before he can stand up again.

"Fourth brother, if the pain is severe, you can take this medicine to relieve it, but try to take it as little as possible." Yu Banxia put down another porcelain bottle containing painkillers.

Qian Qiwen thanked him, but Yu Banxia smiled and said that they were family and there was no need to be so polite, so he didn't say anything more.

He vowed to protect his sister with his life and not let anyone bully her, saying that they would see how things went in the future.

"Mom, I'm going back now. The village is still busy. I came to town to run some errands." Zhang Wanqing asked Yu Banxia to go with her to the town so she could buy her something else.

Yu Banxia quickly declined, as she had indeed been quite busy lately and didn't have time to spend with her for the time being.

"Alright, Mother will tell you that you have great ambitions. However, you must also remember that you are a woman. Don't work so hard. You still have two parents and older brothers and sisters."

Zhang Wanqing grew to like this girl more and more. After hearing her husband's plans and ideas last night, Zhang Wanqing felt even more affection and fondness for this girl.

"Okay, Mother, I understand." Yu Banxia smiled sweetly at her.

Zhang Wanqing escorted the people to the door, and the servant hurriedly got off the carriage and bowed to them.

"You're quite good," Yu Banxia praised the servant, who chuckled and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Mother, we're leaving now. Once Fourth Brother's leg is healed, our workshop should be open for business. You're welcome to visit Anping Village then."

Yu Banxia waved to Zhang Wanqing, who agreed and said that once Qian Qiwen's leg was healed, they would personally go to Anping Village to thank her mother for giving birth to such a good daughter.

Yu Banxia was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Just outside the town, the donkey suddenly stopped.

Yu Banxia peeked out and saw it was Er Niu and his group again. However, seeing that they were looking at them, the group quickly moved the obstacle away.

“Young lady, heroine, we’re not robbing you this time. We, we want to do what you did last time, swish, swish, swish…” Erniu gestured with a tree branch.
