However, Leng Qiuniang's words made him speechless.

"This inkstone is pretty good, it's worth about twenty taels at most. I originally planned to buy a better inkstone for Da Ya and the others, and this inkstone is just right for use!"

If it is the village chief of another village, more than twenty taels are really nothing, but for a decent village chief, these more than twenty taels are really not a small number.

However, Niu Dali also knew that Leng Qiuniang had no intention of pretending. Perhaps for Leng Qiuniang, this inkstone was really just OK.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

Under the influence of the elixir, Wang Shihu and Fan Zhongyun successfully broke through to the innate realm, and Dajin and Dongzi also successfully became the ninth level of acquired realm. I think that in a few days, they will be able to advance to become innate warriors.

However, there is still the most important thing to do now, that is, pay monthly money.

The day before, the villagers in Xinghua Village were talking about it.

"Do you think the Dali family will hold a banquet this time?"

"It's hard to say that the money was not blown by the strong wind, so how could I do it every time!"

"Yes, I heard that the banquet held by Dali's family last month cost less than ten taels of silver!"

"You can die if you don't brag. More than ten taels of banquets are needed, even if you get married, you don't need so much!"

"Do you believe it or not? My cousin is working in the workshop. She said she couldn't finish the wine and meat at the banquet!"

But no matter how others talked about it, early the next morning, the woman working in the workshop looked joyful and excited, and she lined up to collect money.

Wang Shihu and Fan Zhongyun were responsible for giving monthly money to the man, Li Xianglan and Widow Sun, and Bier were responsible for giving monthly money to the woman.

Niu Dali, the shopkeeper of Guazi Workshop, said whether he would say anything, such as if everyone would continue to work hard next month.

After thinking about it, I finally forgot it.

After paying the monthly payment, the regular employee gathered for a large meal. Niu Dali and Wang Shihu prepared a lot of meat and wine in advance. Due to the results of last month, Li Xianglan did not object to this kind of banquet at the end of the month.

The villagers who worked in the workshop did not expect that the owner would hold a banquet this month. They were excited and grateful.

I had an experience of a large dinner party at the employee. This time the banquet was held in an orderly manner. Men went to the workshop to carry tables and chairs, and women were busy in the kitchen. Some people washed vegetables, some people cooked vegetables, and some people set up dishes and chopsticks.

"Girl, it's so lively outside, don't you go out and have a look?"

In the room, listening to the lively scene outside, Bier was eager to try it out.

"If you want to go out, go out, I'll do it alone!"

Leng Qiuniang shook her head. She couldn't understand it. It was obvious that those helpers were invited by Sister Xianglan's house to work for the workshop, and they would also give them monthly money every month. Why did Sister Xianglan even invite them to dinner?

It would be fine if there was any big good thing, but it was said that Sister Xianglan said that they planned to do this at the end of every month. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you think you have too much money or a little stupid!

The merchants seek profit, it would be good if they didn't squeeze the people below, let alone spit out silver from their mouths.

Unable to think of the reason, Leng Qiuniang shook her head and wrote words on the paper.

"I won't go out, and I won't go out. I'm here to accompany the girl!" Bi'er pouted and said firmly with her little face.

"With you here, how can I write quietly?"

Leng Qiuniang chuckled, but a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. It was not that she didn't want to go out, but that she couldn't!

"But"

Bier wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Leng Qiuniang.

"Okay, OK, just remember to help me pick some delicious food when you go outside."

"Okay, I will definitely pick delicious food for the girl!"

Bier thought about it and it was right. The girl didn’t want to go out, but she could choose something delicious for the girl!

Niu Dali's house was lively and the villagers outside could only watch the fun.

Who would have thought that Niu Dali's family would hold another banquet this month? Just by smelling the aroma of the food, you would know that the food inside must be delicious.

At the banquet, men and women and children sat at different tables, and everyone looked happy. Daya, Erya and Xiu'er were very popular among the children. After all, among these children, only three girls, Daya, can read and write.

Li Xianglan chatted and joked with the women.

Wang Er hesitated, and finally plucked up the courage to walk to Niu Dali's ear and whispered: "Boss, I have something to tell you?"

Niu Dali looked at Wang Er.

Wang Er is considered Wang Shihu's uncle according to his generation, but he is not a few years older than him. However, he is not from the Wang clan, so he doesn't have so much etiquette.

"What's wrong with Brother Wang?"

Wang Shihu and Fan Zhongyun, who were at the same table, also watched.

Wang Er was silent for a moment and lowered his voice: "Boss, someone came to my house the day before yesterday and said he wanted to ask my wife to make melon seeds for them!"

Niu Dali narrowed his eyes, this is poaching!

Now it is the end of August, and in another month, there will be a booming period of sunflowers. At that time, there will be many sunflowers in the entire Kaiyuan County.

But it is not possible to make delicious melon seeds without sunflowers, so some people are beginning to be unable to help but want to put their ideas on the people in their workshops.

Although the ingredients for making five-spice melon seeds were prepared by Li Xianglan and Widow Sun in the morning, the women in the workshop were not aware of it, but they would more or less see some of the residue of the raw materials.

With these raw material residues, you can find some tricks.

"What do you think?" Niu Dali looked at Wang Er and said.

"What else can I think? The boss is so kind to us, of course we can't bear to leave!"

Wang Er is still self-aware. The reason why those people come to them is because they are useful. Once they are useless, they will not stay in the so-called melon seed workshop for long and will be kicked out.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to stay at Dali’s house.

At least the salary is good and the wages are high.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your trust!"

Niu Dali smiled honestly, but he didn't care that his people would be dug up by others. As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and he can't force everyone to stay.

Of course, whether the ship will capsize in the end depends on their luck.

"This boss, you see, everyone else is going to make melon seeds. Will it have an impact on our workshop's business?" In fact, what Wang Er is worried about is this. In the past, they were the only ones who made melon seeds, but now there is an extra family to grab the business.

"Don't worry, you can't believe our melon seeds!" Niu Dali said honestly.

Wang Er felt much more at ease. With the guarantee of his boss, he could return to his seat to have a meal with peace of mind.

Wang Shihu and his friends were confused and said, "What are you leaving and trusting," but there are so many people here at this moment, so it is not convenient for them to ask.

After the banquet, Niu Dali asked Wang Shihu and his friends to come into the house to talk about the matter. He heard that someone was planning to come to their workshop to poach people, and Wang Shihu and his friends remained silent.

"Brother Niu, how do you think this matter is resolved? Those people can invite Wang Er, but Wang Er didn't agree, but they can invite others!" Dajin hesitated. There were so many people in the workshop, and there were always some people who couldn't help but temptation.

"There is nothing to worry about. Even if they really poach some people from our workshop, they can't make the same five-spice melon seeds as we do!"

Niu Dali was not worried. Even if those people really knew the raw materials, without the spiritual spring, they would not be able to make the same five-spice melon seeds as him.

However, he really has to prepare in advance.
Chapter completed!
