In any case, it is best not to talk at this time. After the groundbreaking, everyone went home and started their work for the day.

After daybreak, the construction teams arrived one by one and construction resumed as normal.

With Xi Danping helping to oversee the construction of the house, Shen Xue Ning didn't have to worry about anything. After breakfast, she went to the dumpling factory.

She brought some flower seeds and planted them in the factory to increase the green area. Everyone felt happier and more relaxed looking at the flowers and plants.

After the flowers and plants were planted, workers began to come to work one after another.

The weather is quite cold now and everyone is generally sleepy, so everyone came here when it was almost ten minutes before work.

Seeing Shen Xue Ning here, they felt a little embarrassed, after all, the boss came before them.

Shen Xue Ning didn't say anything. She waited until everyone went in and started working before she went in to inspect the workshop.

The factory is very spacious and everyone's workstations are far apart. No one talks to each other and everyone is doing their own thing.

Shen Xuening was quite satisfied with the work situation. She inspected the workshop and then left.

She did not leave the factory. She came to the empty space next to the factory, which was where she planned to make bean paste. It was also a particularly wide space.

The bean paste was selling well, and since the factory had already been built, we thought we might as well build a bean paste brewing factory at the same time, right next to the dumpling factory.

Now that the dumpling factory is operating normally, it is time to consider brewing large quantities of bean paste.

Brewing bean paste requires raw materials, bottles and jars, and people. The sooner the better, so Shen Xue Ning plans to start preparing today.

To purchase bottles and jars first, Shen Xuening drove to the pottery factory, which was an hour's drive away.

The pottery factory has been open for decades. Here you can buy large and small kimchi jars, water tanks, narrow-mouthed jars, and all kinds of pottery.

Shen Xuening had come here before to buy a jar of kimchi and had become familiar with the proprietress.

Knowing that Shen Xue Ning was coming, the boss's wife was waiting for her at the factory gate: "Xue Ning is here."

Shen Xue Ning got out of the car and walked towards the boss lady: "Excuse me."

"You are a guest, why are you bothering me?" The lady boss smiled and took Shen Xue Ning to the factory. "What are you buying this time?"

"I'm going to make some fermented bean paste and buy some big jars." Shen Xue Ning said as she walked.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the big jars. We also have small ones, just look at the specifications." The proprietress said patiently.

Shen Xuening nodded: "Okay."

The proprietress took Shen Xuening to a large open-air courtyard, which was filled with various bottles and jars, all of which were pottery, at least tens of thousands of them, and she could pick and choose at will: "Xuening, you choose."

Shen Xue Ning took a look and said, "This can hold 50 kilograms, right?"

The lady boss nodded and said, "Sure. This one is half a person's height, easy to hold, easy to clean, and convenient for drying the sauce."

"Boss lady, you are quite knowledgeable." Shen Xue Ning said in surprise.

The lady boss laughed: "You know a little bit."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Then I want this jar that can hold 50 kilograms. I want 50 of them. Now the business is small, so buy a little. Come back to buy more when the business grows."

The proprietress nodded: "I understand."

Shen Xue Ning walked towards the small jars: "We need twenty of these jars that hold ten kilograms, twenty of these jars that hold five kilograms, and some other auxiliary jars and vats..."

Shen Xue Ning bought two hundred jars in one go. She felt that pickled food still depended on pottery, and the food brewed using other utensils would not be as good.

The proprietress took out a notebook and wrote down what Shen Xue Ning needed: "I'll find a truck to transport it later and deliver it to you after it's loaded."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble." Shen Xue Ning said politely.

Usually money is paid after delivery. After Shen Xue Ning confirmed the items, she went home.

……

Many old men and women in the village were waiting at the door of Shen Xuening's house: "Xuening, you are finally back."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I went out for something. Did you bring the herbs?"

When she came back from the city, she told the villagers about collecting medicinal herbs. Now the villagers come to her to ask her to collect them.

Grandma Song said, "Bring them here. They are all fresh. We just dug them from the mountains."

Shen Xue Ning thought about it and said in fear: "There are wild animals in the mountains, don't go there rashly."

Grandma Song smiled and said, "We know. We have invited a hunter to go with us. We also brought hunting dogs and hunting rifles. We will be fine."

There is a hunter in the village, and he has a hunting rifle, which was specially approved. There are wild beasts in the mountains, and with the hunting rifle he can drive them away.

Shen Xue Ning was still worried: "You still have to be careful. You are old. What if you really encounter a wild beast and can't run fast?"

Grandma Song thought about what Shen Xue Ning said: "You are right. From now on, we will look for it near the mountain instead of going into the mountain."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Yes, I can't go anymore."

Another old lady said, "Xue Ning, can you take a look at these herbs?"

"Okay, let me take a look." Shen Xue Ning squatted down and opened their bags to look at them. "This is dandelion, this is white ox gall, and this is cyperus rotundus..."

There are so many medicinal herbs. The mountains are really a treasure trove. There are so many medicinal herbs.

The old lady asked, "Xue Ning, do you want all these herbs?"

Shen Xuening answered affirmatively: "Yes, we will accept any medicinal herbs that can cure diseases." Then she asked Ye Hongwei for a list of medicinal herbs, weighed the villagers' herbs, and paid for them.

It's not free either, she makes fifty cents from one pound of medicinal materials and then sells them to Ye Hongwei.

After collecting the medicinal herbs, Shen Xuening called the children in the village and asked them to help her pick wolfberries.

After a while, Ye Hongwei came and sold the medicinal herbs to him.

At noon, Ye Hongwei came, and Shen Xuening sold all the medicinal herbs to him and made more than 30 yuan (excluding wolfberries). Haha, it was enough money for a meal.

Ye Hongwei said to Shen Xuening, "In the future, if there are any medicinal herbs, please help me collect them. Only the good ones, not the bad ones, okay?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll call you when I get the herbs, and you can come get them yourself. If I go to the city, I'll bring them to you, okay?"

Ye Hongwei agreed: "Okay."

Then Ye Hongwei took the medicinal herbs, bought one hundred radishes, five pounds of dumplings, and three pounds of bean paste, and returned to the city.

Shen Xuening welcomes Ye Hongwei very much and he never leaves empty-handed whenever he comes.

……

Shen Xuening received a call from the owner of the pottery factory, saying that she had delivered the pots.

Shen Xuening immediately went to take it and unloaded the goods at the entrance of the village. The paved road was not completely dry yet, and if the car was driven on it now, the road would collapse.

After unloading the goods, Shen Dong, Grandpa Shen, Shen Da and Shen Er worked together to move the cans to the factory.

With the jars and cans, Shen Xuening can hire people to do the work.
