Chapter 286 Sweet Potato Flour

Taohua replied with a firm face, "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best and will never let you down."

Xiuying looked at Taohua with satisfaction and nodded, thinking to herself: "Letting Taohua handle the medicinal herbs business is undoubtedly a good experience for her." Next, she needed to arrange for the staffing for the sweet potato business. Xiuying frowned slightly and thought seriously.

The second child, Shi Liu, was going to the back mountains to learn martial arts at night, and if she had to manage the sweet potato business during the day, she would definitely be very tired. The third child, Gui Hua, had been wrapping preserved eggs, but now she had some free time. Xiuying was mentally weighing the two people's situations.

Well, then let them take charge of the sweet potato business together. This way, the two of them can help each other, which can not only reduce each other's burden, but also make things more stable. Xiuying made up her mind and her expression relaxed a little.

I hope they can also work as hard as Taohua did when she took over the medicinal materials business and make the sweet potato business successful.

Parental love is a long-term plan. True love is not about blindly doting and indulging, but about cultivating a daughter's abilities. In this feudal and backward era, Xiuying knows that only by giving her daughters sufficient abilities can they walk a steady and calm path in their future lives.

Xiuying walked into the main room calmly. She was wearing a simple and elegant dress, with her hair neatly tied behind her head. She slowly sat down in the main seat.

Afterwards, Xiuying said to the servant beside her, "Go and call the old lady, the second young lady, and the third young lady."

The servant quickly responded, “Yes, ma’am.

Soon, Yang's mother, Shiliu and Guihua came to the main room.

Xiuying had a friendly smile on her face and said, "Mom, Shiliu, Guihua, please sit down."

Yang's mother asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Xiu'er, what's going on? Why are you so serious?"

Xiuying said, "Mom, the piglets are almost grown up. We can ask the villagers who reserved them to come and take them back."

Mother Yang replied, "Okay."

Mother Yang nodded, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out. She used to hope to have more livestock at home, but now she just hopes to have enough to eat.

Xiuying continued, "We need to arrange this properly to avoid any mistakes. We need to find the registration list and check it one by one."

Mother Yang said, "Xiu'er, don't worry, I know what's going on." Mother Yang patted Xiuying's hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Xiuying looked at Shiliu and Guihua again and said, "As for the sweet potato noodle business, I want you two to take charge of it together."

Xiuying's eyes were full of anticipation as she carefully observed the two people's reactions.

After hearing Xiuying's words, Shi Liu reacted calmly. She just nodded slightly and said, "Okay, mother, I understand."

When Guihua heard that there was a business to be entrusted to her, she suddenly became excited.

Guihua's eyes lit up instantly, and a smile of surprise blossomed on her face. She said excitedly, "Really? Mother, that's great! Ever since I stopped making preserved eggs, I've felt so lost. I always felt useless. Now I can finally contribute to the family again!"

"Mom, don't worry, I will do my best and will never let you down!" Guihua promised solemnly.

Xiuying nodded slightly with satisfaction, thinking to herself: It seems that Guihua is quite interested in doing business and making money. In this way, this matter might be done well.

Guihua looked curious and asked impatiently, "Mom, we have a lot of sweet potatoes at home, but what is this sweet potato flour?"

When Yang's mother and Shi Liu heard Guihua's question, they both turned to look at Xiuying, their eyes revealing the same question.

Xiuying cleared her throat, looked at Yang's mother, Shiliu and Guihua in turn, and began to explain to them what sweet potato flour was.

Xiuying said slowly, "Mom, pomegranate, osmanthus, this sweet potato flour is actually made from sweet potatoes. Let's wash and peel the sweet potatoes first, then use special tools to grind the sweet potatoes into sweet potato pulp."

"Next, place the sweet potato pulp in a large container and let it settle. Once it has settled, pour out the water on top. The sediment at the bottom is the sweet potato starch."

Xiuying explained in great detail, fearing that they might not understand.

"Then take out the sweet potato starch, dry it, and grind it into a fine powder. This is sweet potato flour." Xiuying paused for a moment and continued, "This sweet potato flour has many uses. It can be used to make vermicelli noodles, rice noodles, and even in cooking. It has a smooth and chewy texture and is very popular."

"We are doing sweet potato business this time, and sweet potato flour is a very important part of it. If it is done well, it can bring a lot of income to the family."

Xiuying explained it in detail, hoping that they could understand the importance and business opportunities involved.

Xiuying looked serious and continued, "The most important thing is that this sweet potato flour can be stored for a long time and will not spoil easily."

Xiuying's eyes showed confidence and she emphasized her tone.

"Besides, our sweet potato flour is cheaper than rice and corn flour. With food prices rising, ordinary people are having a harder time. Being able to buy affordable and long-lasting food is a blessing for them."

Xiuying's expression was serious as she analyzed the current situation. "The appearance of our sweet potato noodles will definitely attract everyone's attention and attract a rush to buy them. This will not only make our family a profit, but also bring benefits to everyone."

"So, we must seize the opportunity of this sweet potato business and make it bigger and better." Xiuying looked at Yang's mother, Shiliu and Guihua with a firm gaze, her tone full of expectation.

Mother Yang looked at Xiuying in surprise, her eyes full of satisfaction and pride, and she secretly sighed in her heart: her daughter is really capable. Her gaze stayed on Xiuying for a long time, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be stretched out.

After a moment's silence, Yang's mother frowned slightly and asked, "Xiu'er, have you decided on the person to make the sweet potato noodles? This is an important craft and can't be leaked to others."

"We have to be careful and choose someone who is honest, reliable and can keep secrets. Otherwise, if this skill is learned by others, we will lose our advantage." Mother Yang said as she gently patted Xiuying's hand, her eyes full of concern.

Xiuying nodded slightly and said, "Mother, I plan to choose one from the servants at home. I want to pick some careful and honest ones."

"Among our servants, there are twenty-five who have signed living indentures, and fifteen who have signed life indentures. I intend to select them from among those who have signed life indentures."

"After all, the lives and property of the servants who have signed the death contract are completely in our hands. We can relatively better guarantee that this skill will not be easily leaked." Xiuying's eyes flashed with a shrewd look.

"Also, I will carefully observe their daily performance and pick out the most reliable and capable ones to be in charge of making sweet potato noodles."
