Chapter 67 We're Counting On You

While thinking about this, Yin Ziying followed Uncle Gu towards Uncle Geng's house, and after a while, she arrived at the door of a house.

Uncle Gu stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door was opened after a while. A woman about 27 or [-] years old came out to open the door. Seeing Uncle Gu, she greeted with a smile:

"Yo, it's Brother Gu, what are you going to fight today?"

Uncle Gu nodded with a smile, pointed to Yin Ziying beside him and said, "Sister Geng, this is my nephew's wife. Recently, she is thinking about getting some things, so she is short of some handy guys. Isn't it here that I come to you?"

The woman glanced at Yin Ziying with a smile, and then said with a smile: "It is said that the daughter-in-law of the old Gu's family is capable, and this is the first time I have seen her! She is quite handsome."

After finishing speaking, she opened the door to welcome the two of them in: "Please come in quickly! Old Geng is sleeping in the back! I'll call him right away."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, brother and sister Geng."

Not long after, a man came out from behind: "Brother Gu, I heard you are looking for me today? Why, what are you going to beat?"

Uncle Gu repeated what he had just said to the woman before he said with a smile: "It's not a big item, and I don't know if it will delay your work."

When the man heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said heartily: "What's the matter, no matter whether it's a big job or not, you call me because you think highly of me."

After he said that, he turned his head to Yin Ziying and said, "Little lady, you want to hit something, right? What kind of fight do you want? Tell me."

Yin Ziying described what she wanted to make to Carpenter Geng, and then said: "Uncle Geng, do you think this thing can be shot? How much money will it cost? I want ten of them in total."

When Carpenter Geng heard this, he nodded immediately: "Hey, what am I supposed to do? It's so simple! It's just like those drawers. If they can be stacked, they should be assembled layer by layer, right?"

Yin Ziying nodded, gestured with him about the size and height, and then said: "The overall distance should not be too far, otherwise it will not be easy to use the steamer."

"This is easy, don't worry, just let me do it. Do you want to make this thing out of wood or bamboo?"

Yin Ziying said: "Do you think it's convenient to use wood or bamboo?"

"If you want to use it in a steamer, I suggest bamboo. Not only does it taste delicious, but it's also good for me to cook. It's more difficult to make wood, but it can be made, and the price is the same. I'll charge you 25 coins for each."

Yin Ziying nodded immediately: "Then make it with bamboo, thank you Uncle Geng."

After agreeing with Uncle Geng that the money would be settled at that time, Yin Ziying followed Uncle Gu back to her home.

When they came back, there were already many people around the Gu family, and Mrs. Yu was taking Gu Yunxian and Gu Yunjie and Gu Yunli brothers outside to weigh the settlement money.

Gu Yunli turned his head, and immediately saw Yin Ziying and Uncle Gu who had just walked over: "Father, you are back, hurry up, it has already started here, this nickname is not easy to take."

Uncle Gu hurriedly walked over: "You guys are responsible for moving the weighed sweet potatoes into the house, that's all, let me do it."

Seeing this, Yin Ziying hurried forward to help. After all, she was doing her family's work, so it didn't make sense for Uncle Gu and the others to be so busy, and she was just like a salted fish doing nothing.

Everyone started to work in full swing, while Yin Ziying was in charge of starting to settle the money for the villagers.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mrs. Yu introduced the villagers to her beside her. After this round alone, she also got to know a lot of people in the village.

There are more than 60 households in Baijia Village. Although there are only 25 households selling sweet potatoes today, such a big movement naturally attracted many people to watch, so Yin Ziying really got to know each other this time. Many people in the village.

As for those who sold out their sweet potatoes, they watched curiously, and some people asked Uncle Gu:
"Jingyun, why do you buy so many sweet potatoes? What are you buying them for? Can you eat so many sweet potatoes at this time?"

"That's right! That's right! I can eat so much that I won't be able to eat it until next year. Besides, I'm going to order new ones this year. Jingyun, is your family going to start a small business or something?"

"What is Jingyun doing? If you want to make money, don't forget to bring us!"

Hearing these words, Uncle Gu was unambiguous, he nodded to everyone with a smile and said: "I want to see if I can make something, folks, don't worry, if this thing is profitable, I will naturally bring you along of."

Uncle Gu has a good reputation in the village, and he has always been friendly with his neighbors, so when they heard his words at this moment, many people clapped their hands and laughed: "Okay! I think it will work! Jingyun! Then we will count on you gone."

"Then Jingyun, you have to work hard, we are waiting to make a fortune with you!"

Some villagers smiled and nodded, and Yin Ziying watched from the side, sighing inwardly for the simplicity of these villagers.

Don't look at these people all talking about getting rich and taking me, but when these people are talking, there are smiles in their eyes, obviously they are joking.

From this point of view, they were all extremely friendly. Although they said they knew what kind of business they were going to do, they didn't inquire deeply, which showed everyone's thoughts.

It wasn't until it got dark at night that Yin Ziying and the others moved all the sweet potatoes they bought today into the yard.

At this moment, the courtyard of the old Gu's house is full of piles, not to mention under the eaves, they are all piled up.

Even the way to enter several rooms is not spacious, only a small corridor is left.

In the end, Yin Ziying summed up. The sweet potatoes harvested today totaled 6250 catties. Adding in the 500 catties of sweet potatoes she bought from the town in the morning, it would be about the same for her to buy another 750 catties of sweet potatoes.

Although it is said that the villagers weighed at her door when they came to her house to sell sweet potatoes, but these people also weighed them when they were at their own house, otherwise it would be impossible for the quantity to be so accurate.

After weighing the sweet potatoes and seeing that it was getting dark, Uncle Gu and Mrs. Yu told Yin Ziying, and went home without leaving any food.

Yin Ziying looked at the backs of several people who were hurriedly walking and sighed, Gu Yunxian said to Yin Ziying from the side: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter, there are many opportunities, uncle and aunt will still come tomorrow."

"That's right, it's just that uncle and aunt are too alienated, it doesn't matter, don't tell them about this for a few days, and just give them the money directly after it's done."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and said to several people: "Okay, I'll go to the backyard and drench the vegetable field first, and I'll go in and cook in a while, you go and rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, she walked quickly into the backyard by herself. If she wanted to do other things, she could have the help of Gu Yunxian and the two brothers, but the work of pouring vegetables was not enough, after all, she was carrying the spirit spring water.
