Chapter 408 Everyone's Despair

Mung bean starch is very easy to make. First, soak the mung beans in water until the beans can be easily squeezed by hand, and then put the soaked mung beans on a stone mill to grind them into a slurry.

This slurry does not need to be boiled in a pot, but is filtered and set aside to allow it to settle freely. After settling for two or three times, the water and starch are separated, and then the starch is dried, and the mung bean starch is made.

To be honest, this was still difficult, but Meng Xizhou was very cooperative, guessing Gu Miao's purpose, and deliberately said some guiding words, so Gu Miao easily made the mung bean starch.

However, after the starch was made, she never used it, because the tools she wanted were not ready yet.

The new money-making method she originally thought of was to use mung bean starch to make jelly vermicelli. The jelly is okay, but the vermicelli requires special tools. She hasn't worked out that tool yet, so she didn't use the starch.

But now that Piaoxiangju has made tofu, she can't wait, let's make mung bean jelly first.

After making up her mind, Gu Miao told shopkeeper Wu not to leave, then she went to the next yard and told everyone about the tofu made by Piaoxiangju.

"That's how things are. Piaoxiangju's tofu is cheap, and our tofu can't be sold, so we won't make tofu today. Let's leave after we get our wages."

As Gu Miao said, he moved out the wooden box that usually contained the copper plates, and wanted to pay everyone the wages for the half day.

Everyone in the yard "..."

Hit the ground running!
No, to be precise, it was a bolt from the blue!
A lightning bolt the size of a bucket knocked them stupid!

Can't sell tofu?
Then they won't be able to earn wages in the future, their beautiful imaginations!
Especially Wang Tiancai, she worked hard to save Meng Wu's travel expenses for the Fucheng exam next year, but now that the tofu can't be sold, she hasn't saved enough travel expenses yet!

Dazed, helpless, and hesitant, these emotions finally turned into despair. She remembered the night when Zhao Quansheng robbed the copper coins, and the familiar sense of despair returned.

Every time she felt that her life was getting better and she had a bright future, life would slap her, especially this time, her internal organs were about to bleed.

How to do?
The despair of Aunt Zhang's family is not much less than that of Wang Tiancai. She has no man and no land. She is the mainstay of the family. If she loses this salary, what will her family do in the future?
Is it still the same as before, renting Yunmo's land, and I can't starve to death all year long...

The other helpers were also silent. Their wages at Yun's house were an important source of income for their family. If they didn't have this wages, many of the family's plans would have to be changed.

Zhao Quansheng stared at Gu Miao in a daze, and began to worry in his heart, Gu Miao won't be able to earn money?

Will that sell Zhao Xiaoyue!
Thinking of this possibility, he rushed to Gu Miao's side, knelt down with a plop, and said loudly, "Mrs. Meng! Please don't sell Xiaoyue, we will do more work from now on, we will Eat very little food, please don't sell Xiaoyue!"

He and Zhao Xiaoyue didn't want to leave Yun's house at all!

"Xiaoyue! Come here and kowtow to Mrs. Meng!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyue was still standing there in a daze, he hurriedly called out.

With Zhao Xiaoyue's brain, she still didn't understand why Gu Miao sold her, but she listened to Zhao Quansheng very much. When she saw Zhao Quansheng asked her to kneel, she quickly knelt down in front of Gu Miao and burst into tears.

"Mrs. Meng, please don't sell me out, I don't eat much, I'm very capable at work..."
