Chapter 912 The God of Wealth
"No, no, we have relatives at home, let's go home and eat..."
"Yes, my family is preparing for the New Year, and there are relatives coming to visit, so we won't have dinner."
"We'll eat next time. I have to take care of things at home..."
The villagers all declined and walked out of the yard, determined not to eat.
Shen Xue Ning was helpless. She didn't want the gift, but it was already given to her sincerely. If she didn't accept it, it might cause some misunderstandings: "Then everyone, take care. I'll arrange for everyone to have dinner together after the New Year, and then we can have a good gathering."
Liu Juan helped see the guests off: "You are so thoughtful. You specially sent us something. Thank you."
Grandma Shen also helped to speak: "Walk slowly, walk slowly..."
After sending the villagers away, Shen Xue Ning turned around and saw that the room was full of gifts of all kinds. "I'll trouble everyone to sort it out."
Grandma Shen went to tidy up the dishes: "Put the ones that need to be eaten first on one side, and the ones that can be kept for later on the other side."
Liu Juan also helped to sort out the food: "There are so many things. When will we be able to finish eating?"
Grandma Shen looked at Liu Juan and suggested, "We've been eating at home these days, why don't you eat all of this?"
Liu Juan nodded: "I think so too."
Shen Xue Ning took a large bag of vermicelli in her hand: "This is the vermicelli produced by Shi Haolin's family. It's real sweet potato vermicelli. It's delicious."
Shi Haolin is also from Team 3. Following Shen Xuening's example, he returned to the village to start a business specializing in sweet potato vermicelli. With the support of Shen Xuening, he made his sweet potato vermicelli business bigger and bigger, and now he is considered a small wealthy man in the village.
Liu Juan looked at the vermicelli in Shen Xue Ning's hand and said, "Such a big bag, it must be ten kilograms, right?"
Shen Xue Ning weighed it and said, "It's about ten kilograms. It will last for a long time."
Grandma Shen said, "I'll make a chicken noodle soup and stir-fry some ants climbing a tree. The noodle is of good quality and should be delicious."
Shen Xue Ning agreed: "Sure, I agree, and I haven't eaten grandma's cooking for a long time, I miss it."
Grandma Shen immediately said, "I'll go catch a chicken and kill it, and then make chicken soup with vermicelli."
Liu Juan stopped Grandma Shen and said, "Mom, I'm going to catch the chickens. You stay home and clean up." Then she walked away.
It takes about ten minutes to walk from home to the chicken farm. Liu Juan was afraid that Grandma Shen would be tired, so she took the initiative to catch the chickens.
Shen Xue Ning knows how to handle things, and her family is harmonious. Unlike other families, as soon as they have a little money, everyone's human nature is revealed, causing chaos.
"Grandma, are these sweet potato fries?" Shen Xuening opened a package and was greeted by a strong sweet potato aroma. The stuff inside was golden yellow and looked like French fries.
"Yes, these are sweet potato chips. They look like they are dried by themselves." Grandma took one and took a bite. "They are quite chewy."
Shen Xue Ning took one to taste. It was soft and a little spongy, with a strong sweet potato flavor. It would be a good snack. "This is for Wen Xu and the others."
Just then, Shen Wenxu came back with Cao Qingyun: "What do you want to give me to eat?"
Shen Xue Ning handed the sweet potato fries to Shen Wenxu: "Sweet potato fries."
Shen Wenxu took it with both hands, gave one to Cao Qingyun, and ate one himself: "Where did you get it from?"
"The villagers gave them to me," Grandma Shen replied. "Eat them quickly and call all your friends to come and eat. There's no room for them at home."
If it were in the past, Grandma Shen would definitely not be so generous, but now there are too many of them at home and there is no room for them. However, these things cannot be preserved for long and it would be a pity if they went bad.
Shen Wenxu weighed the package in his hand and said, "Then I'll take this bag of sweet potato chips and share it with them?"
Grandma Shen advised: "Go ahead, but eat less, as you still have to eat lunch later."
"Got it." Shen Wenxu took the sweet potato fries and left again.
Shen Xue Ning sent a message in the family group: "Everyone come back for snacks, you can give them away if you want, we really can't finish them."
Grandma Shen asked: "Do you want to take some to the Qin family?"
Shen Xue Ning shook her head: "Grandma, the food they eat is very high-end, these are not suitable."
Grandma Shen nodded: "I understand, keep it for yourself."
Shen Xuening brought some things to her room. These were for the ginseng doll. The little guy also loved snacks, so she prepared more for him.
Grandma Shen said to Shen Xue Ning, "Put the remaining things aside. When you give them away after the New Year, they will be ready to be used as gifts."
Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to grandma."
It took me an hour or two to pack everything up. The warehouse was almost full and the freezer was almost full as well.
Shen Xue Ning said: "Grandma, Mom, on the third day of the first lunar month, shall we invite relatives, friends and villagers to have a meal together?"
Neither of them had any objections, so the matter was settled.
……
"Get in the car!" Shen Xue Ning asked Shen Yingying, Shen Baozhu, Shen Zhenzhu, and Shen Wenxu to get in the car, and then she drove the pickup truck to the field next to the factory.
This piece of land is about 30 acres in size, and it is planted entirely with Swiss chard, which is specifically grown to feed pigs.
Some workers at the pig farm took leave and there was a shortage of manpower, so Shen Xue Ning had to take over.
Cao Qingyun was sent to Zhuo Jinghao, otherwise the little guy would have gone with him.
The four of them soon arrived at the vegetable field next to the factory and started working...
Shen Xuening, Shen Yingying, and Shen Baozhu were responsible for breaking off the leaves of the Swiss chard, while Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Wenxu were responsible for moving the leaves to the car and putting them away, dividing the work and working together.
"Cousin, why don't you call me brother?" Shen Baozhu went back and forth several times and felt that someone was missing. After thinking about it, she realized that someone was really missing.
"Your brother is editing the video and is going to post yesterday's video online." Shen Xue Ning replied.
Shen Baozhu suddenly realized: "Oh, he is still busy."
Shen Xue Ning smiled. She knew what Shen Baozhu meant: "Do you think I wouldn't call him?"
Shen Baozhu smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Seeing Shen Xuening and her sisters busy here, Gao Hui hurried over and said, "Ningning, are you busy?"
"Yeah." Shen Xue Ning responded, then stood up and looked at Gao Hui, "Auntie, is there anything wrong?"
Gao Hui smiled and asked, "I saw you were peeling the leaves of Swiss chard. I wanted to ask you, I also planted an acre of Swiss chard at home. I originally planted it to feed pigs, but my pigs were killed today and there is no use for it. Do you want some?"
Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Yes, go and break off the leaves and put them aside. I'll come over to transport them later. By the way, how much do you want per kilo?"
Gao Hui is also a down-to-earth person: "50 cents is enough."
Shen Xue Ning said: "Okay, go ahead and dig it up. I'll come find you after I'm done here."
"Okay." Gao Hui went home happily.
Shen Yingying said: "Big sister, if we want to collect other people's Swiss chard, then do we not have to pick so much of ours?"
Shen Xue Ning said: "Let's dig it according to the plan, and take the extra leaves to the wild boar."
Shen Yingying nodded: "Okay."
Several people picked the leaves skillfully and soon filled the truck bed. Shen Xue Ning asked them to continue picking the leaves while she transported the leaves to the pig farm.
After going back and forth twice, they finally took enough, and then Shen Xue Ning drove to Gao Hui's place.
Gao Hui and her family were picking vegetable leaves in the fields.
Swiss chard is cold-resistant, and it is not suitable to grow vegetables now. She planned to wait until next year when it is suitable to grow vegetables before turning the soil. So she kept the Swiss chard so that she could sell the leaves more times.
"Ningning is here." Gao Hui greeted warmly.
"Here we go." Shen Xue Ning took the scale off the car, and then asked Shen Yingying and the others to take ropes to the field to tie up the kraut leaves like they did with green onions, so that it would be convenient to weigh them after they were tied up.
The children obeyed the instructions and immediately went to work in the fields.
Shen Xue Ning said to Gao Hui: "Come over and weigh it, okay?"
Gao Hui didn't come, she asked her son Liang Jia to come.
Liang Jia went to the same school as Shen Wenxu, but he was in the third grade and much older than Shen Wenxu. He trotted over and politely called, "Sister Xue Ning."
"Yes." Shen Xue Ning responded, and then handed him a pen and paper. "Write down the amount on the paper later, and we'll calculate the money together at the end. Is there any problem?"
Liang Jia said confidently: "No problem."
"Okay then." Shen Xue Ning didn't waste any more words and put the vegetable leaves that Shen Yingying brought over on the scale. "18 jin."
"I've got it." Liang Jia wrote down 18 in the notebook.
Shen Xue Ning took a look and then weighed the second bundle: "This one is 16 kilograms."
"Okay." Liang Jia wrote it down again, "It's quite heavy, this cowhide dish."
"It can be sold for a lot of money." Shen Baozhu put the kraut aside and listened to Yan's words, "It's the New Year, so let's go buy New Year's goods then."
"The family has already bought the New Year's goods." Liang Jia said happily, "My mother bought a lot this year."
"We made money today." Shen Baozhu said with a smile, and then went back to the fields.
Liang Jia laughed, and it was obvious that what Shen Baozhu said was true: "There is a great god of wealth in the village. If you don't make money by relying on the great god of wealth, you are really a fool."
"God of Wealth?" Shen Wenxu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, isn't your eldest sister the God of Wealth?" Liang Jia looked at Shen Xue Ning, "Everyone in the village says that Sister Xue Ning is the God of Wealth. Since your eldest sister came back, everyone has become rich."
Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but say: "This is because you work hard. If you don't work hard, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will be useless."
Liang Jia lowered his voice and whispered, "My parents said that I will go to the city to study next year, so they will convert my room into a B&B. This way I can earn 50 yuan a night."
The houses in the village cost fifty yuan a night. After all, the environment is like that. If it were more expensive, it would really be a scam.
Shen Xue Ning has been keeping the price down to ensure the quality, which is the most fundamental reason why tourists come here again and again. This place is remote and has natural disadvantages. If she still cheats tourists, this business will not last long. She doesn't want her hard work to be ruined.
