The news that several families who had sent snails and eels to Xie Yunshu's family had received the money spread throughout the village overnight.

The small bamboo house where Xie Yunshu's family lives is neither too close nor too far from the village, but they have to pass by if they want to go to the fields. Doesn't this make it easier for the villagers to pick up snails and eels from the fields and then bring them over?

Other families who hadn't made much active preparations at first became more agile when they heard that there was actually money to be taken.

There are sixteen families in the village, all of whom are Han Chinese exiled from the Central Plains, and all of them are loyal people.

The man in charge of the family had sympathy for Xie Yunshu's family because of what happened to him. Now he saw that the eel and field snails were really profitable, so he went to the fields early the next morning to touch them.

Everyone remembered Ye Zhen's instructions to them that day and picked up the big ones and sent them away.

When Ye Zhen opened the door early in the morning, the seven or eight women in front were now all the women in the village, all carrying heavy bamboo baskets.

"Oh, aunts, don't be so anxious, just put them in the yard."

As soon as she opened the door, she saw densely packed heads. Even though Ye Zhen was mentally prepared, she was still shocked.

She quickly organized people to come in and help carry the heavy bamboo basket into the yard.

After carrying it, Ye Zhen wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked up. The yard was filled with nearly twenty bamboo baskets of various sizes.

This time, the whole village came, and some women even carried two bamboo baskets.

This is estimated to be three to four hundred kilograms, right?

Ye Zhen was secretly speechless. She didn't expect these people to trust her so much. They were busy catching eels and snails early in the morning.

However, with such a large amount, her purse was stretched again.

After distributing other people's rewards yesterday, she calculated and found that she still had forty-six coins in her hand.

In addition to the five taels of silver he exchanged for five hundred merit points from the system, the total amount is only five hundred and forty coins, which is definitely not enough to pay for these raw materials in advance.

Ye Zhen also knew that Xie Yunshu should still have some money in his hand, but she didn't want to touch the other party's.

Now that the situation is so bad, we still have to leave a family fortune.

So, she used the previous method again. Fortunately, the women in the village trusted her very much, so they registered, put down the bamboo basket and left without saying a word.

Only Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu, who had just concluded that the weight was 530 kilograms, were left, looking at each other with sweating profusely.

Five hundred and thirty pounds, this is such a huge number, Ye Zhen finally saw it today.

Fortunately, most of them are snails, which are easier to sell than eels. On the one hand, they are cheaper than eels, and on the other hand, this dish really suits the taste of the barbarian locals.

Silently cheering herself up in her heart, Ye Zhen turned to look at Xie Yunshu and Zhao Yi, and smiled helplessly:

"Next, I still need to trouble you."

If she had to pack more than five hundred kilograms of things by herself, how long would it take?

Xie Yunshu pursed his lips and said nothing, but his actions proved his support for Ye Zhen.

Although he was lame due to his leg injury, it did not affect his hand strength. The heavy bamboo basket was like an empty side in his hand, and he could carry it steadily.

Alas! It is indeed Lian Jiazi!

Secretly sighing, Ye Zhen appointed him to carry the bamboo basket.

As for Zhao Yi, he was watching from the side, looking at the two of them quietly with his eyes. He wanted to help, but Ye Zhen wouldn't let him.

After all, he was just a child, so asking him to help deal with the snails already made Ye Zhen feel guilty. It was even more impossible for Zhao Yi to intervene in such menial and tiring work.

After placing the bamboo baskets, Ye Zhen went to the nearest house to borrow an unused large tank and brought it back to temporarily breed eels.

Immediately, he took the whole family and started cleaning the snails.

It took them a whole day to clean it up this time, and the three of them were so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

Even dinner was made by Ye Zhen when it was almost dark and she could catch her breath.

The next day, the family took their things and headed to the county town early in the morning.

Ye Zhen didn't bring too much. Her plan was to limit herself to fifty catties of snails and ten catties of eels a day. Is that too much?

After all, everyone is looking for novelty now, and they will inevitably get bored if they eat too much, so it is better to do hunger marketing.

This common marketing method is also a small problem for a modern female doctor like her.

More importantly, the ox carts in the village could not bear the heavy items, and she was embarrassed to tire out other people's old scalpers!

When they arrived at the county seat, Huang Chuan originally wanted to take them there, but Ye Zhen had already memorized the route, so the two parties separated in the street.

In order to facilitate transportation, Ye Zhen also bought a small cart. It was not expensive at 20 cents, which was very suitable for them.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the stall, they saw a friendly-looking young man from the wine shop coming over to say hello.

"Are these Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie? My boss told me about setting up the stall the day before yesterday. Let me help you."

The young man looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was very smart and quick at doing things.

Before Ye Zhen could refuse, the other party had already started to move it up and down and pack it up for them.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to clean it up together and say thank you after it was done.

"Why don't you have breakfast with us? My craftsmanship is quite good!"

Seeing that the little boy was sweating from work, Ye Zhen said enthusiastically.

On the contrary, Xie Yunshu, who was standing next to him, had a cold face and looked at him with a look that could not be described as friendly.

As if sensing the eager eyes from the side, the boy quickly waved his hand and refused.

"No, no, you should be busy first. My boss said that if you come, I have to call him."

After that, the boy walked behind the pergola.

Seeing him leaving, Xie Yunshu withdrew his gaze.

He did hate the previous Ye Zhen, and his relationship with the current "Great Immortal" was not that close, but Fang Ming was still the wife he was marrying.

Seeing that they were running away, Ye Zhen could only shrug her shoulders, turned around and started to light the fire and cook.

She believes that with the surprise after the first sale, this time it will definitely be right!

As she expected, as soon as the aroma of spicy fried snails wafted out, someone came over smelling the smell.

"Hey! Boss lady, you've finally opened a stall! Yesterday I waited and waited and saw no sign of you, but you made me hungry!"

As soon as the first guest arrived, he complained a little, and kept glancing at the snails in the pot.

Seeing that he was a repeat customer, Ye Zhen quickly apologized and smiled.

"Didn't I go home to get the ingredients? The food can stand the wait, right?"

With that said, he quickly served the snails and sent them over.

Although there were not many people in the morning, there were still three or two repeat customers who came after hearing the news. The most outstanding one was Boss Wu.

Originally, the young man said that he was going to inform his boss. Ye Zhen thought that he was deliberately making an excuse to leave. Unexpectedly, he actually brought it to Boss Wu.

Not only that, Boss Wu was accompanied by three or four people, all of whom were dressed in silk and satin clothes. At first glance, they looked like they were either rich or noble.

When he walked to the stall, Boss Wu stood up first and greeted Ye Zhen's family with a smile:

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, Madam. I brought a few friends over today to try your craftsmanship."

With that said, he reported the dishes he wanted, and then took his friends back to his shop.

Ye Zhen was sharp-eyed and saw that the other party was a big customer, so she quickly prepared the braised eel and prepared to bring it over with the snails.

However, Xie Yunshu stretched out his hand to stop her and said with a cold face:

"I'll send it over."

With that said, regardless of Ye Zhen's confused eyes, she took the dishes from the other party's hand and sent them over.

Why is this person so weird?

Ye Zhen returned to the stall with some confusion. She couldn't figure it out. This was the first time Xie Yunshu rushed to deliver food.

After all, the other party was also the legitimate son of the prime minister who won three yuan in a row. She was worried before, fearing that the other party would not be willing to do such a humble job, so she took it over herself.

Without saying a word, Xie Yunshu delivered the dishes to Boss Wu's table and said coldly:

"Slow use."

Then he walked away.

Except for Boss Wu, several other people had a slightly disappointed look in their eyes.

"Set up a small stall and still have such a high profile? I guess you haven't suffered much before!"

Among the group of people, the man with the fattest build spoke, with an expression of indescribable contempt on his face.

Hearing what he said, Boss Wu quickly poured him a glass of wine and comforted him:

"I'm a newbie too, please calm down! Try this dish, it's absolutely amazing!"

With Boss Wu trying to smooth things over, the atmosphere at the table became better, and several people moved their chopsticks one after another.

"When it comes to delicious food, Brother Song's Zuixian Restaurant must be second to none. It is the number one restaurant in our county!"

Even before the food was in their mouth, several people began to look down on the two simple dishes on the table.

Although the fragrance made them salivate, the person who spoke was obviously trying to flatter him.

A look of pride flashed across the face of the bloated man, and he quickly put a small piece of eel meat into his mouth.

He was just about to find fault, but was stunned for a moment by the delicious taste in his mouth. It took him a long time to utter two words:

"Alright."

Not only him, but also several other people at the table were obviously amazed, and they couldn't help but eat several mouthfuls before stopping.

As soon as the food is in the mouth, everyone will naturally have a certain idea of ​​which one is better and which one is worse.

But due to Song An'an's presence, they couldn't praise him too much and could only agree that it was okay.

After saying that, he started the next round of moving chopsticks.

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Boss Wu did not forget to recommend the other side, which made him want to get spicy stir-fried snails. This is the first dish in his mind to go with wine.

This dish made several big barbarian local merchants who were already very impressed go crazy again.

The way he rolled up his sleeves and talked about the snails actually abandoned his usual demeanor.

As time went by, more and more customers came, and Ye Zhen was so busy that she couldn't remember the guests at Boss Wu's table.

After half an hour passed, Ye Zhen, who had just taken a breath, was suddenly called out.

She turned around and saw that it was the boy from the wine shop.

"Mrs. Xie, please come over and have a chat."

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the hot snails in the pot and nodded.

As soon as she took a step, a tall figure enveloped her.

"I will go with you."

A low and steady voice rang in her ears, Ye Zhen nodded subconsciously, and after reacting, she gave Xie Yunshu a strange look.

I always thought he was acting a little weird today.

The two of them walked into the pergola and came to Boss Wu's table.

"Come, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie, please take a seat."

Boss Wu quickly asked the boy to add two chairs for the two of them to sit down.

Immediately, he began to introduce:

"This is Boss Su from Su Style Silk Shop, and this is Boss Liu from Hengtong Rice Shop..."

This table is filled with big and well-established merchants in the city.

Especially when it came to the last one, the bloated man, Boss Wu's tone became more solemn.

"This is Boss Song from Zuixian Tower!"
