Chapter 48 I advise you not to be ungrateful.
Jiang saw the encouraging looks from the two people beside her and urged her to go.
Jiang Yuandao: Sister, tell me quickly, let them sell, they have to sell until they die, as long as they make money, they won't harm us.
Lin Yong: Honey, tell them quickly, let them do it, so they can earn more money. Otherwise, they'll squander it all and won't even have enough for their coffin. It wouldn't be nice if we both used their money.
Having received the "telegram" from the two, Jiang braced herself and cautiously looked at Lin Xi and Gao Mengli, "These elm seed cakes...you, you should sell them. If you find them too difficult to knead, eldest son, you prepare the proportions, and we'll take them back for you to make in the morning, just, just..."
Lin Yong continued to send "eye telegrams" to Jiang Shi from the side, almost waving his hand to encourage her: "Wife, hurry up and tell us, give us the processing fee!"
Jiang Daoyuan glanced at his sister's husband and sister. These two were really bold, daring to ask for wages...
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi and Gao Mengli's eyes lit up. Hey, this labor force has been delivered right to their doorstep!
They've practically fed you; how could you not eat?
Gao Mengli thought to herself that all they had to do was sell the elm seed steamed buns they were helping to make; it would be as easy as picking up money.
Lin Xi was overjoyed, as he shared the same thoughts as Gao Mengli!
Gao Mengli looked at her mother-in-law, who seemed about to speak but then stopped and chuckled, "Mother, then you make the arrangements! Tomorrow you can come and carry the mixed elm seed flour, and then go back and help make and steam them. I'll give you 40 coins a day for making elm seed buns and firewood."
“40 wen!”
Jiang and Lin Yong immediately stood up excitedly.
The table wobbled as they suddenly stood up, and Jiang Daoyuan quickly reached out with both hands to steady it.
Getting excited is fine, but getting so excited that you flip the table is not an option.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the table hadn't been overturned.
Jiang exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my, this is wonderful! Forty coins a day, that's quite a lot!"
She thought ten coins would be enough, but it turned out to be 40 coins!
This is all the money her second daughter-in-law earned carrying bags at the dock for two days!
Lin Yong grinned from ear to ear, nodding repeatedly to assure everyone, "Don't worry, I'll definitely do a satisfactory job for you tomorrow!"
Lin Yong immediately turned around and went home, first arranging for his family to wash the steamer and gauze.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Daoyuan carried his basket and went home.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi looked at Jiang Shi, who was still excitedly rubbing her hands beside them. Why wasn't their mother leaving yet?
When Jiang saw the two men staring at her, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed "Ouch!" startling the two men in front of her.
"Hehe, I'll help you wash the dishes and tidy up the table first!"
After Jiang finished speaking, she quickly went to get busy!
The movements were swift and precise, leaving no room for the two of them to intervene.
Da Niu tugged at his mother's sleeve, and he finally understood: although his father managed the money in the family, it was his mother who was in charge.
"What's wrong?" Gao Mengli looked down at Da Niu.
Thinking about his uncle's situation, Da Niu finally mustered up his courage and asked, "Mom, can I use that papermaking formula? Don't worry, I'll pay for it!"
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh twice when she heard Da Niu's words.
"You're giving me money?! Where did you get the money from?!"
It's not that he looks down on their adopted son, it's just the truth!
Da Niu's face flushed red; his father was known for exposing people's shortcomings...
He was a little embarrassed and stammered, "I...can I owe it? After the paper is sold, my parents will get 30%!"
Gao Mengli raised an eyebrow. This kid is not bad; he knows about "loan technology investment promotion."
However, the papermaking process takes a long time in the early stages, so it can be handed over to Da Niu, so that they can achieve toilet paper freedom in the future!
Gao Mengli nodded to Da Niu, looking at him seriously, "It's possible, but you have to keep the recipe a secret and not let it leak out."
If it gets leaked, forget about making money. If every household has enough paper, what's the point of selling it?
Da Niu nodded heavily. He wouldn't reveal it. He only asked the old house to help. They were family, after all. They were all getting their share of the benefits, so there was no reason for them not to take advantage of it.
Who knows, they might cover it up even more tightly than he did!
Da Niu said earnestly, "Mom, I won't let it out. I'll only let the old house next door know!"
Gao Mengli frowned slightly: "Although the people in the old house are family, there are many people and a lot of gossip, so we still have to be careful. You have to explain the pros and cons to them clearly."
Gao Mengli's first parenting lesson still needs to be explained to Da Niu in detail.
Lin Xi chimed in, "Yeah, Da Niu. This is no joke. We don't care if the recipe gets out. But you, don't even think about making any money!"
Da Niu frowned, knowing that his parents were right, but he still nodded emphatically and said he would discuss it with his grandfather later.
Jiang was washing dishes by the well when she overheard something. Don't blame her for eavesdropping; the courtyard was so small, and she was openly eavesdropping.
Is this another stroke of good fortune falling on their shoulders?
She quickly washed the dishes and tidied up, her hands moving so fast they were blurry, as if she wanted to finish immediately, because her husband had gone out to the neighbor's!
Finally finished with the task, dried his hands on his clothes, and ran back home in a few quick steps.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi ignored them, only hearing gasps, gasps for breath, and whispers from the neighboring courtyard.
I don't know what they said, but in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Da Niu returned!
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to pick elm seeds with Grandma and the aunties!"
After saying that, he picked up the basket under the eaves and ran out of the house.
At the door, Jiang, along with her two daughters-in-law and three little ones, saw Da Niu come out.
They happily went to pick elm seeds together.
The two were bored in the courtyard. As it was getting dark, Gao Mengli decided to cut some banana leaves and went out with a sickle.
Passing by my nearest neighbor Dajun's house, I saw him squatting at the gate of his yard, eating dinner with a bowl of vegetable porridge.
Dajun looked up and saw Gao Mengli cutting down the banana leaves by the river in his yard. After a long pause, he placed the empty bowl at the entrance of the yard.
His face was full of anger as he walked towards Gao Mengli.
Gao Mengli, you're finished.
Gao Mengli glanced at the approaching figure but didn't pay any attention, continuing to chop banana leaves.
The army's rage was so intense it nearly overwhelmed them; as the saying goes, extremes meet. Standing before Gao Mengli, all his anger vanished, replaced by meekness and a submissive tone.
He cautiously glanced at the sickle in Gao Mengli's hand, and accused her in a soft, almost inaudible voice, "That... Gao family, this is... my... my family's..."
Gao Mengli stopped what she was doing, looked up at the uneasy Dajun, and raised an eyebrow. "One coin."
The army was completely bewildered. One penny? What? Does that mean they should give him money?!
Looking at the bewildered army, Gao Mengli assumed he was dissatisfied and frowned as she added, "One coin for a banana leaf."
After saying that, he took out six coins from his pocket and gave them to Dajun.
Gao Mengli saw that Dajun was stunned and didn't reply, so she assumed he was dissatisfied with the price. She frowned and looked at Dajun, saying, "I advise you not to be so ugly and cause trouble. You don't know what's good for you."
After saying that, he carried the six banana leaves and strode away.
Dajun realized that Gao Mengli was using money to buy it for him!
Wait, did she just call him an ugly ghost again?
"Waaah... Honey, Gao Mengli called me an ugly ghost again..."
Dajun cried miserably and ran all the way back, hugging his wife and accusing Gao Mengli of being too much.
He's not ugly!
