Chapter 89
Shen Ningning nodded.

She invited the old village head into the house to speak.

The rest of the villagers gathered at the door, watching Shen Ningning and the old village chief sitting on the chairs of the grand master.

The little guy has a straight back, a round face with a smile, and the Black Wolf King lying on his feet, with a unique momentum.

Everyone felt that the old village head paid more and more attention to Shen Ningning.

"Ningning, you have seen all the loquat trees in the village. They are growing very well. I believe they will bear the first batch of fruits in two or three months."

"We all rely on your blessings, so that everyone's life will be more and more hopeful."

"It's just that the weather is too hot now. Judging from the drought situation in previous years, it will take at least two months of heat to enter autumn, and everyone has to spend more on weekdays."

"So, the big guys discussed it. We want to cut off some of the unripe fruits and boil them into loquat candies. This is also the old business of our village."

"Then sell it in the city to earn some money for living. Look, do you want to join your family?"

The little guy blinked his eyelashes, a little confused.

Loquat sugar, is it expensive?
Her voice was waxy: "Grandpa, the village chief, how much money can you make just by selling sugar?"

The little guy really doesn't understand.

When the old village chief heard this, he laughed together with the villagers outside the house.

"Look at me, I forgot, you're too young to understand." The old village head felt that Shen Ningning was smart and assertive.

So subconsciously, he asked her to discuss this matter, but Shen Ningning is a child after all, so he should ask Grandma Qin about this matter.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Ningning, how expensive candy is! One tael of loquat candy can be sold for 20 taels!"

so much! ?

Shen Ningning opened her eyes in surprise.

Afraid that she would not understand, Aunt Liu said patiently: "Think about it, is it easy for you to eat sugar on weekdays? Isn't that kind of sweet stuff very expensive?"

The little guy's face bulged slightly, silently remembering.

Is it expensive?she does not know.

There is a pile of sweet-scented osmanthus honey in the fairyland, and she moves it out one by one.

Grandma will make delicious sugar water for her.

Including the sour plum soup that was cooked before, and brown sugar was also put in it.

This thing is placed in an inconspicuous corner in the kitchen hall of Wonderland.

So Shen Ningning naturally didn't pay attention to it.

Who would have thought that sugar is still a precious commodity?

The little guy said nonchalantly: "Well, there are not many dim sum shops in the city, and the items they sell are also expensive."

Aunt Liu smiled: "That's it! Our loquat candy can be used to melt when cooking, and it can also be used as medicine, making soup, and has many uses!"

Just use fruit to refine sugar?
Shen Ningning suddenly figured it out.

No wonder Deng Fugui secretly gave her loquat candies and looked at her expectantly.

It turns out that this thing is very expensive!

Even if it is the village head's house, there are only a few, so eat sparingly.

The little guy also remembered.

Last year, Qin Fangmei came back from Du Yuanwai's home and told Shen Ningning very proudly that Du Yuanwai gave her a lick of white sugar.

Qin Fangmei vividly described the sweet taste.

He also emphasized: "This is something nobles in the palace can afford!"

At that time, Shen Ningning didn't take it seriously.

As for white sugar, in her fairyland, it was filled with jars of pickled vegetables, so much that it was almost overflowing.

I didn't expect it to be so precious.

Aunt Liu was still introducing: "Ning Ning, you are young and don't understand. In Cangyun Kingdom, the most expensive things are white sugar and brown sugar. Only the nobles and important officials of the court can afford them."

"We ordinary people mostly use loquat sugar and cinnamon honey, and if they are more expensive, they are caramel sugar, cane honey, and brown sugar."

Those dim sum shops mostly use sweet-scented osmanthus boiled honey, and better shops use brown sugar.

Therefore, before the drought, Xiangyun Village has been making a fortune by selling loquat candies.

Shen Ningning made a calculation in her heart.

She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, the village chief, look at the fruits on my tree. Most of them are a little yellowish, and they should be sweeter."

"If I agree with you all to boil sugar, how much money will I get in the end?"

The villagers were startled, and the old village head was also a little unbelievable.

"Ningning, do you want to use all of them to refine sugar? That's not appropriate. It's best to keep a batch of fruits, and make more sugar when they are ripe."

Of course Shen Ningning knew this truth.

But there are too many places where she needs to use money now.

Fairyland needs jade, and jade is so expensive.

As for Grandpa Langzhong, she couldn't take out too many medicinal materials at once, otherwise Grandma said that it would attract the covetousness of the bad guys.

Therefore, she can grow a lot of loquats in the fairyland, but she doesn't care about the little fruit in this field.

It's just that she hasn't mastered the technology of refining sugar, so she still has to rely on the people of Xiangyun Village.

The little guy had round and dark eyes, and said firmly, "I want to earn more money."

The old village chief was silent for a while, chewing on tea stems in his mouth.

He also knew that although Grandma Qin and Shen Ningning's grandfather and grandson lived on the mountain and had no worries about food and drink, Shen Ningning was now studying in a private school and had to spend a lot of money!
It's normal for the little guy to think so.

So, the old village head said: "You are a junior, grandpa can't take advantage of you."

"Our big guys originally agreed that the family will get [-]% of the dividend, and if you pay a lot, you will get [-]% of it. Do you think it is feasible?"

Shen Ningning thought for a while, then nodded decisively: "OK!"

But when she handles affairs, she must be strict and disciplined.

"Grandpa, the village chief, let's make a contract."

The old village head was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Ningning, can grandpa trick you?"

The little guy said sweetly: "Grandma said, all agreements are more secure if they are stamped on paper."

"Not only to me, but also to the village chief's grandfather and the uncles in the village."

"Otherwise, what if one day I don't produce so much fruit and still want to take [-]% of the proceeds?"

These words made the villagers speechless, and even the old village chief paused.

That's right.

Shen Ningning is now relying on the crown prince, if there is any conflict in the future, it will be hard to say without a contract.

Besides, after her reminder, everyone came to their senses.

The most feared thing is not Shen Ningning's repentance, but the people's hearts, what if the rest of the villagers are torn apart in the end?

Liaison is the guarantee for everyone.

Sister-in-law Liu immediately said: "Village Chief, we haven't figured it out yet, let's make a deed, and let's settle this great event!"

The old village head stroked his beard with a smile: "Okay! Good luck, go and prepare paper and pens."

The black and white paper was written by the old village chief himself, and Shen Ningning tilted his head beside him to supervise and inspect.

When there was no problem with the contract, the two signed their signatures, and representatives of the other villagers' families stepped forward to press their fingerprints.

Qicheng, every family has smiles on their faces.

The old village chief was the happiest, with rosy cheeks smiling.

He probably remembered that when Xiangyun Village sold loquat candies, it was a prosperous life.

"Quickly, go to the entrance of the village and set off a string of firecrackers. Aunt Liu, you bring a few daughters-in-law to prepare a big pot of rice. Ningning, take Grandma Qin next, and let's have a good celebration!"

Shen Ningning nodded immediately: "Okay!"

She rode on the back of the Black Wolf King and was about to go up the mountain to find her grandma.

Suddenly, the son of Uncle Liu's family limped over, shouting in a startled tone——

"It's not good! The crazy scholar fell into the well!"
