As expected, Hong Yaxin came to see the sugar. Si Sheng made a gesture to the two people waiting not far away, and Da Sheng and Mr. Zhao lifted the two wooden barrels in front of everyone.

Si Sheng opened the lid of the bucket, and when Hong Yaxin saw the contents of the bucket, she immediately stood up excitedly.

This is white sugar, the white sugar that can sweeten people's hearts, like snow, there are two full buckets of white sugar.

Hong Yaxin couldn't help but stretched out her hands and held a large handful. She felt indescribably happy as she watched the small crystals flowing from her fingers back into the barrel.

Si Sheng looked at Hong Yaxin's childlike behavior in amusement, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. Her behavior and expression were really similar to Suxue.

Si Sheng looked at Suxue dotingly, and then at Hong Yaxin. No, not only were they similar in appearance, they also had similar looks.

Hong Yaxin was immersed in selfless happiness. When she raised her eyes and saw Si Sheng's eyes, she suddenly came back to her senses. She was shocked to realize that her actions were childish and her face felt a little hot. She quickly put down the sugar in her hand and sat back on the stool.

.

Hong Yaxin glanced around quietly and saw everyone looking at her, and said a little embarrassedly: "I brought the contract, Ye Xiucai, take a look. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract now."

Si Sheng took the contract from Shopkeeper Wu, read it quickly, and asked: "This two hundred taels advance payment..."

Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said: "The contract stipulates that we can pick up the goods every ten days at most. This is ten days' payment in advance. Is it enough?"

Si Sheng nodded. According to the current output, the money is more than enough, but if people are willing to pay more in advance, he will not refuse. The cooperative is currently short of cash flow.

Hong Yaxin's expression has returned to normal and she asked: "This is our first time to pick up the goods. The time interval is quite short. I wonder how much sugar we can take away?"

Dasheng said: "There are a total of forty-two kilograms here. If you wait a little longer, you can collect fifty kilograms in the afternoon."

Hong Yaxin said with a smile: "I'm afraid we can't wait any longer, so let's mention these first." She couldn't wait to send the first batch of goods back to Kyoto.

After talking about business, Hong Yaxin talked to Huang and Wang Zeran for a while, and then left in a hurry.

During lunch, all the men came back from the fields. Si Sheng gathered all the family members together and said, "I called everyone here to tell you something."

During this period, because the cooperative did not have much income, everyone was very worried and worried about the future. Everyone was unable to do things freely.

Now, it is necessary to let everyone know some situations so that everyone can feel at ease.

When everyone saw Si Sheng say this, they looked at everyone thoughtfully and laughed, a little confused.

Everyone saw Niu Zhixin laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. They knew that what Si Sheng was about to say must be good news, so they couldn't help but urge: "Si Sheng, please tell me what it is. Don't make everyone anxious."

Si Sheng smiled and said: "The first batch of goods from our sugar workshop has been sold, making a net profit of twenty-one taels."

Everyone was in a daze, unable to digest this shocking news. The sugar workshop had just started working. It only took two and a half days to earn so much money?

"Okay-" Someone yelled and clapped, and everyone reacted and clapped along with them excitedly.

"It's great. We have a good and profitable business again. We don't have to tighten our belts and wait for the summer harvest."

"We finally have money to buy farm tools, and we no longer need to borrow other people's tools."

"Everyone has money to live on again, so we don't have to live with it."

A child from an unknown family asked: "If my father buys meat for us to eat now that we have money, will my mother stop scolding him?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing and laughed heartily.

The burden that has been carrying on everyone's mind for this period of time can finally be removed.

Niu Zhixin quickly gestured for everyone to calm down and said: "Everyone, please keep your voice down, but don't forget that we don't dare to let outsiders know that we are doing this kind of business. Otherwise, no one will even use the word "sugar" in the future.

Mention it again

Well, as a last resort, I can only say the word "sugar", so as not to be overheard and ruin our affairs."

Everyone laughed and responded: "Okay——"

After hearing the good news, everyone quickly went home for lunch. But within two-quarters of an hour, the men came out of the yard one after another and went to work enthusiastically.

What the sugar workshop earns is the money to buy oil and salt. The real livelihood of everyone is the fields. Without worries, they have to take care of the fields.

After cleaning up the pots and pans, Mrs. Gao took two basins of dirty clothes and went to the well. She happened to meet Mrs. Gu, and the two started chatting while washing clothes.

Gu said: "Sister-in-law Ye, Si Sheng said at noon that our workshop has made a lot of money. Why didn't I hear when the dividends will be distributed? We haven't received the cooperative's share of the money for a long time."

Mr. Gao clicked his tongue and said, "You still expect dividends? Just wait."

Gu was a little surprised, "What's the matter, no dividends? I'm still waiting to get the money to make a quilt. You know, my good quilt was trampled on by the bad guys in the village and rendered useless."

"

Mrs. Gao curled her lips and said, "It's useless for you to be anxious. The cooperative will definitely not pay dividends immediately. The youngest of my family is working very hard in the workshop. I don't even expect to receive dividends. What else are you thinking about?"

Gu said angrily: "I don't want to hear what you are saying. Your son is the only one doing the work? My Shuan Zhu's father has been so exhausted in the fields these days that his waist is broken. Why can't we expect dividends?"

What’s up?”

When Mrs. Gao saw that Mrs. Gu was a little over the top, she hurriedly calmed down the matter and said calmly: "Okay, okay, why are you arguing with me? To tell you the truth, I heard that the money earned by the workshop is not divided for the time being, so I have to use this money

First, let’s open a snack shop, buy farm tools and seeds, and ask the master to teach the children how to read.”

Gu said in surprise: "There are so many ways for the cooperative to use its money? Then when can we get dividends?"

Gao said: "Then we have to look at the dim sum shop. If the dim sum shop can make money after it opens, we will be able to expect dividends soon. If it loses money, we will have to pay the money earned by the workshop. Then we will just

I can wait for the dividends after the summer harvest."

After hearing this, Mr. Gu stared and thought for a long time, feeling that what Mr. Gao said made sense.

All other expenses are known. Only the money spent on the dim sum shop is uncertain. If I can make money in the future, it will be okay, but if I lose money, it will be a bottomless pit.

Gu Shi felt depressed after thinking about it, so she told Qiangzi about this in the evening and said, "You'd better cover yourself with that old quilt first. We don't dare to spend money casually. If the dim sum shop loses money, we still have to pay for it."
