“There’s no hurry about the white sugar. Let’s make brown sugar and yellow sugar first.” Seeing that the villagers were already very excited, Old Master Wu hurriedly calmed them down.
After all, to be precise, their village did not have any foundation yet. The most powerful people were the w.a.n.g Family and County Magistrate Zhang, who might be completely on their side.
Everyone understood the principle of how the winds howl around the highest peaks. They could not be greedy and advance rashly.
It would be a huge sin if the w.a.n.g Family was implicated because of this.
The villagers who came had all signed doc.u.ments with the w.a.n.g Family and the county office. They knew the risks involved, so they naturally did not say anything.
“We all know that this concerns the survival of our Hu Family Village. Of course we won’t be careless.”
“The cane sugar workshop hasn’t been officially established yet. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad. It’s better to keep a low profile.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Even if we make a loss, it doesn’t matter. At most, we’ll use more land for another two years and give these sugarcane to the children as snacks.”
“That’s right. We can’t bear to go to the sugar shop to buy sugar. Isn’t it more exciting to make it ourselves?”
After everyone spoke at once, w.a.n.g Wulang had already arrived at another building with Little Ah Yu.
This building was used to process cane sugar into other items.
There was also a small workshop to make malt candy. It was in a small building beside it.
“Wulang of the w.a.n.g Family doesn’t look old, but his words are quite sharp. Looks like there are still benefits to studying and reading.” Elder Ma watched from the side. Seeing that w.a.n.g Wulang was becoming more and more fluent, he couldn’t help but nod and praise him.
Old Master Hu also smiled and said, “In the past, I’ve seen the w.a.n.g Family’s children being naughty, especially this w.a.n.g Wulang. He’s the most lively. Today, I’ve seen him in a different light.”
As there were many tools in the workshop, and the villagers had never seen them before, everyone even went forward to study them curiously.
Naturally, they couldn’t figure out anything.
After w.a.n.g Wulang completed his explanation mission, Little Ah Yu took out a small gourd from her pocket.
“Fifth Big Brother, you’ve worked hard. Have some water.” Little Ah Yu wanted to wipe w.a.n.g Wulang’s sweat with a handkerchief again.
w.a.n.g Wulang was happy. He squatted down and let Little Ah Yu help him wipe his forehead.
On the other end, Old Madam w.a.n.g suddenly coughed.
w.a.n.g Wulang hurriedly pressed Little Ah Yu’s hand down. “Little Sister Ah Yu, I’ll do it myself. Don’t tire you out.”
Little Ah Yu tilted her head. “But I don’t feel tired.”
In any case, it was Fifth Big Brother who was talking. She was only reminding him from time to time.
Sometimes, if she forgot something, it was Meatball who reminded her.
“Alright, go and play. The adults will do the rest.” Old man w.a.n.g chased the two of them out.
He took out a handful of copper coins from her pocket and counted them in his palm. He took a few back and handed the rest to w.a.n.g Wulang. “Go to Auntie Hua’s house to buy something yourself. Don’t stand here.”
Madam Hua’s husband also followed w.a.n.g Chuanman out to do business. After seeing the world for a while, she returned and became a peddler.
Now, Madam Hua has also opened a small grocery store in the village. She usually sold some needles, thread, and some small things.
It was convenient for the villagers.
w.a.n.g Wulang picked up Little Ah Yu and left. “Alright!”
After they went out, Little Ah Yu looked at the dense crowd at the workshop and was very puzzled. “Fifth Big Brother, Auntie Hua’s family doesn’t sell as much as in town. If you want to eat delicious food, I still have fruits, candied fruits, and candy!”
When Meatball had nothing to do, it would search the mall for super cheap and delicious things. Most of them were raw materials.
Little Ah Yu would hand these things to Old Madam w.a.n.g. Old Madam w.a.n.g would find an excuse and hand them to Madam Feng or Madam Ma to make all kinds of food.
It was not worse than the ones sold outside.
“You don’t understand. No matter how good our family’s things are, they’re not as good as those bought outside!”
w.a.n.g Wulang still wanted to say something to Little Ah Yu when someone approached them.
A person with a cloth covering his mouth walked over and asked in a low voice, “Kid, do you know how to get to the w.a.n.g Family?”
