Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The next morning, Xiao spread the news, and now everyone knew that there was explosive news in Kaoshan Village, that is, He Yao was going to marry Widow Wu.

Many people rushed to tell each other, and for a while, it became the hottest news in Kaoshan Village, and everyone was discussing this matter in front of and behind the house.

Everyone was surprised that Liu would allow her son to marry a widow. Not to mention that He Yao was a scholar, even if he was an ordinary farmer, most people would not agree to this marriage.

Ever since He Yao found out that his mother agreed to this, he has had a smile on his face and has been much more enthusiastic towards his mother, Liu. The son is happy, but Liu is worried.

How can he face people when he goes out? He had thought his son would marry a rich girl, but he ended up marrying a widow.

She didn't know why she agreed to it so foolishly, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Seeing her son happy and saying a few more words to her, Liu felt somewhat comforted.

Well, he chose his daughter-in-law himself anyway. If he doesn't agree, and his son gets upset with him, it would be like pushing his son away.

Shen Ping asked Xiao to strike while the iron was hot and arrange this for He Yao. Shen Ping paid for all the things needed for the wedding. It didn't cost much money.

Apart from some other expenses, the biggest expense was the banquet. He invited his own clansmen and set up more than ten tables. There were eight dishes in total, including meat and vegetables, and it cost less than five taels of silver.

Everyone came to the wedding and brought red envelopes. Liu was not shy about accepting them all, smiling happily.

She didn't have to spend a penny on the wedding banquet and even received red envelopes. She was probably the only one in Kaoshan Village who could do that.

On the wedding day, Widow Wu also wore a bright red wedding gown, which she made herself. The fabric was given by Erya. She made one for herself and one for He Yao.

I have to say that Widow Wu is really beautiful. Even though she has given birth to a pair of children and is nearly 30 years old, no one can tell unless you tell.

Some people could not help but discuss the issue privately, and felt sorry for He Yao, as a scholar like him actually married a widow.

These words also reached Liu's ears, but she pretended not to hear them, because the son is no longer under the control of his mother when he grows up.

Just like what the eldest son's wife said, if I follow his wishes, I can still get a good result. Now, I have to rely on him.

He Yao and his wife were also grateful to Shen Ping and Xiao. Thanks to them, otherwise they would not be doing so well now.

He Yao was a scholar. Because he married Widow Wu, she was naturally exempted from taxes, which also solved her urgent needs.

……

Although it is November, there is still a lot of work to do in the fields. It is the time to harvest kudzu roots. This year's kudzu roots are particularly large, with the largest weighing nearly ten pounds and the smallest weighing five or six pounds.

Everyone was very happy. The kudzu root was like a stone. Even if it cost ten cents per pound, the smallest one would be worth dozens of cents.

Although the planting period of Pueraria root is long, which takes nearly a year, one acre of land can produce several thousand kilograms of Pueraria root.

By this calculation, this acre of land can make a net profit of several taels of silver. Compared with kudzu root, this pepper can be planted two or three times a year.

But these peppers are not heavy and require a lot of effort. It takes a lot of time just to pick the peppers, and they don’t mature all at once.

Many people have started to think about planting more kudzu root and less peppers next year.

After listening to Zhang Tiezhu's reflection of everyone's ideas, Shen Ping felt that this was not a feasible approach because in terms of current sales, the demand for chili peppers was far greater than that for Pueraria root.

Because peppers are consumed in large quantities, they can be found on the table for three meals a day. However, kudzu root powder is different. Even if kudzu root powder is taken orally, the amount is not large, let alone external use.

Shen Ping asked Zhang Tiezhu to analyze the pros and cons with everyone and tell them not to follow the trend blindly. If everyone planted Pueraria root, there would be too much of it in the future.

Then the price will naturally be low. If the market is saturated and cannot absorb the products, it will cause unsalability. At the same time, the workshop may not purchase them again.

In the same way, if the pepper is planted less, the price will naturally be higher. But even if the price is high, it will be useless if there is no planting or the quantity cannot be increased.

So don't think about taking shortcuts, the market price will change with the environment.

"Yes, second son's wife, you are right!" Zhang Tiezhu nodded after listening to Shen Ping's analysis of the pros and cons.

I have to say that the second son's wife has a sharp mind and can look at things in the long term.

After all, farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood. If the harvest is not good when they grow the same thing, it will also affect the market price.

Of course, the market price is caused by many factors, and sometimes you can't even estimate it.

Zhang Tiezhu explained the general idea to the villagers, and everyone listened to him and felt that it made sense.

Now that we see others making money by growing kudzu, we cannot blindly follow suit. It is impossible to plant kudzu on all the land next year.

Anyone who has done business knows that you should not put all your eggs in one basket, which can reduce investment risks.

At present, this chili workshop harvests everything except chili, kudzu root, cassava, and peanuts. It cannot just grow one thing. Other things can be planted several times, which is more flexible.

Now everyone is full of energy and feels that life is full of hope.

Nowadays, not only are these things planted in the surrounding villages, but they are also gradually spreading to the surrounding areas, and more villagers have begun to join in the planting.

At present, the market is not saturated yet. With Mr. Liu and Manager Chen expanding the market in the capital, the sales of these things are getting better and better.

Not only in the capital, but also in Heyang County, the sales of chili sauce have increased a lot. Previously, it was restaurants and hotels that wanted chili sauce, but now even nearby noodle shops have started to get goods from the workshop.

Many customers began to ask about this chili sauce, and some went to the grocery store to ask. It was not uncommon for one or two people to ask, but during this period of time, people went to the grocery store to ask about it every day.

It also aroused the curiosity of many grocery store owners, who discovered that this was a new business opportunity. When someone came to ask them where they could eat this.

In order to find out the news, many grocery store owners also started to eat in restaurants, just to try the so-called chili sauce.

What does this thing that attracts so many people taste like? After they tasted it once and found that it was indeed delicious, they began to ask around.

During this period, Shen Ping also began to increase publicity efforts in major workshops. When the workshops were closed, workers from other places were asked to take flyers back to post them, and they were also paid.

In addition, Shen Ping recruited a group of salesmen, who were required to have a good appearance and good eloquence. Their main job was to promote the workshop's products.

As for the wages, it is a guaranteed wage plus commission. If the customers they bring in successfully place an order, they will be given a commission based on the size of the order.

With the addition of salesmen, the business of major workshops has increased significantly. As their popularity grew, many customers even came from the north.
