Gao Mengli smiled at Lin Xi. Sure enough, her childhood sweetheart understood her best!
As soon as the preserved egg entered her mouth, Gao Mengli narrowed her eyes!
Natural and pollution-free, these are indeed far superior to "technologically advanced" duck eggs!
Gao Mengli had just finished eating and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Tang Guangjun and Dou Weiyi couldn't wait a moment longer and quickly finished eating the rice at the bottom of their bowls.
Put down the bowl, surround her, and try to coax the truth out of her.
Dou Weiyi rubbed his hands excitedly, "Hehe, sister-in-law, these preserved eggs are so good, and they can be stored for a long time. We'll definitely have no trouble selling them anywhere else!"
Tang Guangjun, standing to the side, nodded tactically in agreement, "That's right, sister-in-law! This stuff tastes good and isn't expensive, so it's sure to sell well!"
Gao Mengli watched their "performance" quietly without saying a word, and sat there to digest her food.
These two people were "praising" her, showering her with compliments and compliments.
She lowered her head, cleared her throat, looked up at the two "chattering" men, and made a pause gesture. "Alright, gentlemen."
From then on, my family would receive a thousand duck eggs every other day. But I made it clear that we couldn't pass off bad eggs as the rest.
Dou Weiyi and Tang Guangjun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets with excitement upon hearing this!
The two nodded in unison and immediately took their leave to return home.
Because they need to arrange for people from other villages and towns to deliver duck eggs over.
If the two people split it equally, even a county could get five hundred duck eggs every other day!
Gao Mengli watched the two disappear from sight, then smiled and shook her head.
These two men were able to rise to the position of county magistrate not only because of their outstanding leadership but also because of their rapid execution.
Trusting their "official speed," Gao Mengli quickly waved to Lin Xi, "Xi Xi, we need to hurry and prepare the ingredients for coating the duck eggs!"
Lin Xi nodded, and the two immediately started playing with "mud" at home.
now.
Tang Guangjun followed Dou Weiyi to the gate of Pingyao.
He quickly ran to the side, jumped onto a fishing boat on the riverbank, and urged the fisherman to row faster.
He wished he could appear in Pingding County immediately, right now.
Although the daily purchase volume of duck eggs is not large, it is a long-term business.
Every month, he could sell 7,050 duck eggs in Pingding County. For the first few months, Dou Weiyi went from village to village every day to arrange for villagers to raise ducks.
The villagers' ducks are usually kept in the fields to eat locusts.
This not only prevented the locusts from multiplying, but also fattened the ducks.
Now that the duck eggs have a good "home," he, who "followed the trend," has finally given an explanation to the villagers!
The money from selling duck eggs wasn't enough for him, but for the common people, it was a considerable income!
And here.
Back at the county government office, Dou Weiyi kicked the gate open and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Someone come here! Find everyone in the county who knows how to raise ducks, and don't miss a single one!"
"Be quick! Anyone who's slow will have their wages docked!"
Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and so can the poor!
The constables exclaimed, "How can this be allowed?!" Their wages were barely enough to support their families and allow them to live a life of luxury.
If he gets this slack, wouldn't he be living like an ordinary person?
Upon receiving the order, the yamen runners immediately scattered and hurriedly went to the countryside to spread the word.
In one morning, the county government office was crowded with village chiefs and representatives from various villages in a chaotic manner.
Dou Weiyi stood on the chair and waved his sleeve: "Fellow villagers, from now on, all your duck eggs will be collected by me!"
"You must choose the biggest and best. If you dare to try to fool me with inferior goods, I'll throw you all in jail!"
The crowd looked at each other, but were also frightened and nodded repeatedly.
No one would dare to fool Dou Weiyi. Everyone knows that their "bread and butter" are extremely frugal, splitting every penny thin.
If you touch his money, it's like killing his parents; he'll really do it...
Fooling him?!
Perhaps the old man who is about to die hanged himself; he's tired of living!
Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Dou Wei nodded in satisfaction.
Day two.
Dou Weiyi and Tang Guangjun arranged for an oxcart to deliver the duck eggs back.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi quickly unloaded the duck eggs and paid the driver.
Ah Li quickly helped, carrying the duck eggs back and forth.
The group of people squatting in the yard were wrapping duck eggs, which made Lin Xi feel a bit hot.
Seeing Lin Xi's sullen face as she worked, Gao Meng chuckled speechlessly.
He quickly nudged Ah Li, who was squatting beside him, and said, "Ah Li, go find the village chief and arrange for two women to come and work. They'll be paid fifteen coins a day."
Ah Li responded and rushed off to find the village chief.
Before long, he returned with two quick-handed women.
The two women were clearly skilled at their work. Once they were in the yard, they didn't say much. They watched Gao Mengli carefully as she worked with the mud in her hands, then squatted down and began to work with the duck eggs.
Seeing this, Lin Xi's expression relaxed a bit, and she straightened up and patted her back.
This job is so grueling it'll make you go bald!
Here, the preserved eggs are being prepared and packed into the stall.
Unfortunately, the cellar couldn't hold them all, so they had to be placed in an empty room in the courtyard, stacked one jar on top of another.
Dou Weiyi would come to the village from time to time. When he saw the chayote trellises on the village roads, his eyes would dart around and he would set his sights on the chayote again!
I don't know what he said when he returned to the county town, but people from the village would often come in groups from other villages.
Standing on the village road, looking up at the melon trellis, I marveled at the dense, vibrant green Buddha's Hand melons.
The village chief hadn't bothered with them before, but after discovering that some of them were stealing melons behind people's backs, he arranged for the villagers to guard the melon trellises.
But everyone is busy, and the work is delayed, resulting in a significant loss each day.
Those who are not from our village are sure to have different intentions!
Fortunately, Gao Mengli simply instructed the villagers working at the village entrance to stop any unfamiliar villagers from coming over and "following the clues."
They were spies sent out by other villages to find out about the production of chayote.
They come over for a stroll, bring back a message, and then the village chief will come to talk to them personally.
With this tactic, the spies from other villages were left helpless.
Honestly, they just take a quick look from afar, estimate the output, and then go back.
There were a few cunning and unwilling villagers who wanted to "get" some benefits.
They even wanted to sneak in while the villagers weren't looking.
As a result, he was carried back by the bandits like a chick and stood sheepishly at the village entrance.
These few cunning fellows who were caught stood at the village entrance, looking at each other, their faces alternating between pale and red.
They quickly turned around and fled.
The village chief watched them run away and snorted coldly.
He quickly turned around and urged the people building the high wall to speed up.
The Lin family is truly prescient.
Pingyao County hasn't been affected by the locust plague yet, and people aren't starving. Villagers from other villages are even eyeing the chayote and want to take some.
He dared not imagine what would happen if a large number of deserters came and entered the village; they might even plunder it.
Therefore, for the first time, I intuitively felt the importance of building high walls.
