Chapter 423 Word of mouth
Although the daughters had already made some preparations, after all, sweet potatoes were indeed very easy to grow and had almost no strict requirements for the growing environment. However, when they heard Xiuying say it so clearly in person, they couldn't help but feel a little panic.
Xiuying continued to patiently explain to her daughters, "Within three years, the sweet potato flour making technology will surely spread, and by then, it will definitely not just be our village that's making and selling sweet potato flour.
I already told Mr. Chen about this the last time he came. Now, what we need to do is build a good reputation, ensure high quality, and make everyone familiar with and recognize us. We want to make it so that when people mention sweet potato noodles, the first thing they think of is our village's sweet potato noodles."
The daughters stood up respectfully, bowed slightly, and said in unison: "Mother is really thoughtful. We daughters are ashamed of ourselves."
"Madam, Aunt Wu is here." Dongmei walked in to report.
"Bring her to the main room. It must be because Yaozu, Dafu and Dagui are learning how to make sweet potato noodles." Xiuying said calmly.
"Yes, ma'am." Dongmei responded and turned to invite Aunt Wu.
Xiuying turned to her daughters and said, "You don't have to leave. It's a good opportunity for you to stay and listen."
"Yes, mother." Xiuying's daughters responded obediently and sat quietly on the chairs in the main room.
"Xiuying, I have something very important to tell you." Aunt Wu's anxious voice came clearly from outside.
Then, Aunt Wu rushed in and strode over to Xiuying. "Xiuying, not long after you left this morning, Yaozu and Dafu and Dagui came hurriedly to my place. As soon as they entered the door, they said they wanted to learn the technique of making sweet potato noodles from me. I was worried at the time.
I thought that since Cuihua was the head of the Zhao family now, it would be difficult to just drive them away, so I kept them for the time being. But don't worry, I haven't taught them how to make sweet potato noodles yet. I'll let them help with some farm work first. I won't teach them without your permission."
Xiuying smiled softly, her eyes reflecting calmness. "Cuihua should be helped. After all, that child has had a difficult life. It's just that those people in the Zhao family are too abominable. They have no manners or propriety. It's normal for an apprentice to help their master with work for a few years. Learning a trade that can support one's life is not that easy. They should also experience the hardships and dedication involved."
Aunt Wu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll let them do farm work for me for a few years and then I'll teach them how to make sweet potato flour."
"That's not necessary." Xiuying waved her hand and continued, "Let them do farm work for two months. Then, teach them how to make dried sweet potatoes. After the spring plowing is over next year, teach them how to make sweet potato flour. This way, we can both honor Cuihua and let them know how hard-earned this skill is."
Hearing this, Aunt Wu couldn't help but laugh. "Xiuying is really smart and thoughtful. If her family works hard, the money from selling dried sweet potatoes will be enough for several people to live on. I'll wait until next spring when they help me plant rice, and then I'll teach them how to make sweet potato flour."
Hearing Xiuying's agreement, Aunt Wu finally felt relieved. She had been very nervous before, and worried that Xiuying would blame her for keeping those people without permission. After all, the Zhao family had often made things difficult for Xiuying before.
Although the Zhao family is hateful, Cuihua is innocent, and Cuihua is now the head of the Zhao family. Wu Da sincerely hopes that Cuihua can live a better life and have an easier time.

"Ouch, you bitch, be gentle. If you hurt me again, I'll chop off your hand."
Liu Yingying screamed sharply. At this moment, she was lying on the luxurious gold-threaded and blue-wood carved bed with her arms and legs spread out. The swelling on her face was still clearly visible, and it was also bruised and purple.
The maidservant was trembling with fear as she carefully applied medicine to her, her movements becoming increasingly gentle, for fear of angering her again.
Liu Yingying was furious. She was really hurt by that damn woman today. Not only did she fail to buy the dress she had longed for, but she was also beaten up by that fierce woman for no reason. In the end, she was unlucky enough to be thrown into jail by those blind officials.
If the lawyer hadn't recognized me, I don't know how long I would have stayed in that dirty, smelly prison. When I catch that ignorant woman, I will definitely sever all the tendons in her hands and feet, strip her naked and throw her into the street for everyone to spit on and laugh at her.
Thinking of the miserable appearance of that woman at that time, Liu Yingying felt a surge of joy in her heart, and a sinister smile appeared on her distorted face.
"Go and call the master." Liu Yingying ordered the little maid angrily.
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, and hurried to call the master.
Liu Yingying was beaten like a pig's head, with her face red and swollen. This kind of injury would definitely not hurt even if she applied medicine.
After a while, the lawyer came running over and stood respectfully outside the screen: "Madam."
Liu Yingying sat up angrily and asked unhappily, "Master, you haven't come back yet?"
The master's eyes rolled, and he keenly sensed Liu Yingying's anger at the moment. He said cautiously, "The master has gone to visit the victims. The journey is long and the situation is complicated. I'm afraid he won't be able to return for a while."
Liu Yingying's face was filled with disdain and anger: "Understanding the people's feelings? I'm afraid he's lying in the arms of some vixen again, completely lost in love."
"Madam, you are the only one that the master loves in his heart!" The lawyer said hypocritically with a flattering smile on his face.
In fact, Liu Yingying guessed correctly. At this moment, Luo Jingan was intoxicated in the tenderness of the courtesan in Baihua Tower and was living a happy life.
Liu Yingying sighed helplessly and asked gloomily, "Did you catch that woman?"
The lawyer quickly smiled ingratiatingly, his smile filled with flattery. "Madam, the officers chasing that woman said she ran away, and she ran away with a group of people. It seemed that she had planned it in advance, and she ran away without a trace. The officers were confused for a moment."
"You bastards! What's the point of raising you? You can't even catch a woman. You're a bunch of losers!" Liu Yingying was furious and shouted, "Go and find out right now what that woman's last name is and where she lives. I'm going to make her suffer a fate worse than death. Only then will I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Liu Yingying's fierce eyes looked straight at the master through the screen. Her gaze was like two sharp daggers. Although there was a screen between the two of them, the master still felt Liu Yingying's wolf-like and man-eating eyes. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.
