Chapter 75: Brain Activity

  Zhong Gensheng also narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This is indeed the case, this little girl... has a really lively brain."

  The couple exchanged a smile.

  The two dogs moved the chestnuts to their original location and then hurried back up the mountain to pick more chestnuts. At this time, they didn't have any other thoughts, just thinking about picking more chestnuts to earn a few more coins, because they had lost a lot today, so they were even more determined to go up the mountain.

  Zhong Gensheng also took Da Bao, and the four of them went up the mountain. He Axiu continued to water downstairs. Shen Sisi stayed at home with Er Bao and San Bao, peeling the chestnuts that Da Bao and Si Bao had picked in the morning, and roasting all of them...

  In the following days, everyone worked together to sell chestnuts. After all the chestnuts on the mountain were picked, they finally rested at home with a sense of regret that there were no more chestnuts to sell. At the same time, they felt heartbroken about the wild boar meat, which had been eaten up by the whole family. Especially Four Treasures, who would almost always grab food during meals, causing the three brothers to glare at him angrily. However, since he did a lot of work, their angry glares were ignored. The three brothers were a bit resentful and felt wronged, so they looked forward to buying more meat to eat at home.

  Shen Sisi was now happily counting the money, after deducting the cost and giving Er Gouzi and his family their share, they got more than 3,000 wen. This was already a huge sum of money in this household, more than 3,000 wen was equivalent to more than three taels of silver, adding the seven taels, ten taels could buy a good piece of land, it can be seen that for this poor family, more than 3,000 wen was such a huge sum of money.

  Shen Sisi narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: it seems that buying books or land is still not possible, so for now, let's just use this as capital and sell braised meat to earn some money.

  One side is planning, and at the same time, the news of selling the recipe for sugar-roasted chestnuts will be released, with priority given to villagers to buy, but the highest bidder gets it.

  The whole village was in an uproar for a time.

  This season, the several young sons of the Zhong family sold a lot of roasted chestnuts. The whole village was envious and couldn't help but stare at them with envy. They had tried to roast chestnuts and sell them in the city before, but they were either overcooked or undercooked, and in the end, they could only sigh and watch as others made money, their eyes burning with envy.

  The villagers didn't have much income, even those with skills who worked outside every day didn't earn as much. Seeing them make so much money and having meat to eat at home every day made everyone jealous. Now that the news has spread, each household is thinking about how to get their hands on this recipe, either by spending less money or borrowing money to buy it. However, now that the chestnuts are out of season, they'll have to wait until next year to see the results and earn money again. Next year's prospects are uncertain, and borrowed money will need to be repaid then too. Everyone is hesitant, yet still thinking that this woman is heartless for not selling it earlier when she had already made enough money.

  Several groups of people came to ask in the morning, but they were all villagers with no skills and little money, so Shen Sisi didn't budge.

  However, this news attracted Li Er Dan and Tian Gui Hua.

  Li Er Dan smiled and said, "Old Roots, I heard that your family wants to sell Fang Zi. How about you sell it to me? I'll pay you back next year after I make some money. What do you think?"
