The next day, Ma Xiuxiu came again, this time bringing the money from selling her son.

"My brother-in-law said that the recipe would only be sold for thirty taels of silver, and the merchant agreed without hesitation. He paid thirty taels of silver and immediately asked his servant to learn how to make it.

Afterwards, I told my brother-in-law that we wanted to quit and that Fangzi could buy out the business. After I taught my sister, I would no longer go to town.

My brother-in-law thought about it for a moment and then agreed. He paid the full thirty taels of silver, plus the five taels of silver we invested before, plus the profits from the past few days.

But I didn’t take the profits from these few days. You said the price could be reduced by 30%, but my sister didn’t take advantage of it.”

Shen Rong nodded, it seemed that her previous consideration was correct.

Outsiders haven't learned the recipe yet, but Chen's brother-in-law will have some idea of ​​it after a while. Instead of getting into trouble later, it's better to take some money and withdraw early, which will also preserve the relationship between relatives.

"Thank you for your hard work, second sister-in-law." Shen Rong took the bag of silver and counted out twenty-three taels of silver. Twenty taels were the dividends from the seller, and three taels of silver were the money invested by the second sister-in-law.

Since Chen's brother-in-law has not been short of money, it is no big deal to give my second sister-in-law two more taels.

Shen Rong received a sum of money. She originally thought that Shen Yuan's idea was good, but after some inquiries, she found out that the Taoist priest had bought all the wasteland under the Daqing Mountain. Even if she went to buy land now, the wasteland she could buy would be far away from the Daqing Mountain!

It seems that there is no shortage of smart people in this world.

Soon, the Dongyue Temple at the foot of Daqing Mountain finally began to recruit workers.

All the men, young and old, from Taohua Village went there.

When there is not much work in the fields, the villagers often go out to do odd jobs, but this is the first time for them to work right in front of their own home.

We don't have any skills, just a lot of strength.

Although the villagers signed up enthusiastically, there were still not enough strong laborers in a small village like Taohua Village. At one time, many young and middle-aged people from several nearby villages also came.

That afternoon, Shen Rong was sitting in the shade of the yard sewing a coat for Changsheng when Changsheng ran in excitedly from outside.

He saw Shen Rong sitting under the eaves and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and walked into Sixth Grandma's room.

After a while, Changsheng came out of the house with a silly smile on his face, holding a big date in his hand.

"Sanniang, I want to go to work and earn money to support my wife!" Changsheng shouted with a silly smile, his voice quite loud.

After he finished yelling, his dark eyes were still staring at Shen Rong, as if to show how powerful I am.

Shen Rong's face suddenly became red.

She subconsciously looked towards Sixth Grandma's room, then looked at the neighbors on both sides, and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

She said this, but she felt warm in her heart.

In her previous life, she was a woman who worked very hard to support her family and to allow Gu Zhaoming to study, and no one had ever said such words to her.

She just felt that when these words came out of Changsheng's mouth, she had an indescribable complicated feeling in her heart.

Shen Rong knew what kind of workmanship Changsheng was talking about, and this was also the topic most mentioned by people in the village.

but……

"Changsheng, will grandpa and grandma agree to let you go?"

Changsheng nodded, with a hint of pride on his face, "Grandpa even praised me!"

In fact, when Sixth Grandpa heard Changsheng say that he was going to work, he said:

"Changsheng is married and grown up now. You have to work hard. If you earn money, you can support your wife..."

Before he finished speaking, Changsheng stretched out his hand and said, "This is also good for my wife. It's good for my wife. There are dates..."

Sixth Grandpa was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and finally gave Changsheng a date.

Changsheng was particularly proud of his cleverness.

Seeing him like this, Shen Rong naturally didn't want to pour cold water on him. She nodded and said, "Then I'll bring you food then?"

Changsheng thought for a moment, "Okay then..."

At night, Changsheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep because it was his first time working for someone.

He looked at Shen Rong who was sleeping soundly beside him in the moonlight, then looked at the ceiling, staring and counting silently. When he counted to one hundred, he quietly leaned over to Shen Rong's ear as he did in the past and whispered:

"Sanniang, get up and pee! Don't wet the bed, get up and pee..."

Changsheng kept repeating these words in Shen Rong's ear, like chanting a sutra. The sound of his voice gradually became louder as Shen Rong fell into deep sleep, until she woke up.

Changsheng developed this habit after Shen Rong wet the bed.

Shen Rong was helpless, but she couldn't do anything about Changsheng.

The next morning, Changsheng woke up at daybreak.

The first thing he did after waking up was to fold his own quilt, and then he pulled Shen Rong's quilt over and folded it.

Shen Rong had already gotten used to Changsheng's habits. Without even opening her eyes, she reached out and hugged the pillow between them and continued to sleep.

Fortunately, it is summer now, so without a thin blanket, I won’t feel cold just by sleeping with my pillow hugged.

Changsheng looked at Shen Rong, then at the quilt in his hand, and finally decided to fold the quilt first.

Today was Changsheng's first day to work, so Shen Rong didn't sleep much. After Changsheng folded the quilt, she got up and washed up.

For breakfast, Shen Rong thought that Changsheng had to work, which was very strenuous, and that Sixth Grandpa also had to walk a long way to collect herbs, so she cooked rice.

I fried two more dishes and boiled two eggs for Changsheng and Sixth Grandpa.

Sixth Grandpa didn't come back at noon after collecting herbs, so Shen Rong prepared some pancakes.

By the time he finished packing, Changsheng had already gone out with Ergouzi.

Sixth Grandma did not go out to collect herbs today. She has been in the pharmacy since morning, preparing herbs in the house.

I don’t know what happened to Changsheng?

In the past, when she was cleaning at home, Changsheng always followed her, helping with this or that.

Shen Rong was still a little uncomfortable with his sudden absence.

Shen Rong looked towards the Daqing Mountain, then at the sun. Seeing that it was still early, she went into the pharmacy and learned from Sixth Grandma how to prepare medicinal materials.

Today is Changsheng’s first day to work. I don’t know if he will be laughed at or bullied?

Shen Rong was a little absent-minded while studying the whole morning.

Seeing Shen Rong's expression, Sixth Grandma didn't say anything, she just said, "It's getting late, go cook first!"

Shen Rong looked up and saw that the sun was almost overhead.

She quickly washed her hands and went into the kitchen to work.

When building a temple at the foot of Daqing Mountain, most of the villagers who had no skills could only do some hard labor, and Changsheng was definitely no exception.

Thinking of this, Shen Rong prepared a palm-sized piece of braised meat for Changsheng, sliced ​​it and stir-fried it with chili peppers, and also prepared porridge and pancakes, trying her best to make Changsheng eat well.

Shen Rong prepared the meal, but before she had time to eat, she hurried out with the basket of food.

There were many people delivering meals. As soon as Shen Rong went out, she met Liu Jinfeng, the wife of Ergouzi next door.
