“Chu Heng said that? And he just told the villagers that they can sell it?” Wang Shichu felt that he might have been hearing things. How could someone be so stupid to not earn money and give it to these villagers?

“That’s what the villagers said,” the coachman nodded honestly.

“What about the price?” Wang Shichu narrowed his eyes. Although he had never thought about what wood ears were, it was still a mountain product. Even if it could be sold, the price would not be high. Perhaps Chu Heng was just trying to earn a reputation?

“They said it’s 30 copper coins per catty.” When the coachman mentioned this price, he was a little surprised.

Wang Shichu was shocked. He hammered the carriage.” Are you kidding me?”

“Such a high price. What mountain product is so expensive?”

“Those mushrooms are only a few copper coins per catty. Moreover, there aren’t many mushrooms left, and those valuable mushrooms are even fewer.”

“Master, are we still going to the Xiang family?” the coachman asked.

“Yes, why not!” Wang Shichu put down the curtain of the carriage and sat back in the carriage with a frown. He was thinking about what Chu Heng wanted to do. Even if he wanted to earn a reputation, he did not need to pay so much money. Even if he only gave them ten copper coins per catty, the villagers would be very grateful. After all, those wood ears were something that no one wanted in the past.

Could it be that the other party was really sympathetic and wanted to help these villagers out of poverty?

When Wang Shichu thought of this, he immediately shook his head. He felt that he was probably stupid to have such a stupid idea.

In just a short while, the carriage arrived at the Xiang residence.

When the carriage stopped, Wang Shichu opened the curtain and got off the carriage. The door of the Xiang family was surrounded by people, and he was shocked.

He felt that the noise was giving him a headache. It had been many years since he had been in such a noisy environment.

“You guys stay here and guard the carriage. I’ll go in myself.” After Landlord Wang got off the carriage, he changed his mind. He could sneak in and listen to what the women in the village had to say.

Landlord Wang walked over, and for a moment, no one noticed him.

“Do you guys understand about the temperature and stuff? It’s just drying?”

“If it’s really that simple, wouldn’t everyone know that it depends on the temperature of the fire? They say that they use some kind of clay to confirm the temperature and then bake it for a day or two.”

“Then, aren’t we craftsmen too?” An old woman smiled and teased.

“Heh, you don’t say. In the future, when we learn how to look at the temperature, we might be able to learn how to use a kiln.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being cheated?” Landlord Wang listened for a while but did not hear any useful information. He could not help but ask.

“What’s there to be deceived about? That’s what the high scholar said. Besides, High Scholar Chu is a relative of the Xiang family. The Xiang family is doing it themselves. They told us out of kindness. If they don’t tell us, when the wood ears on the mountain are rotten, we can only watch and cry.”

“That’s right. Who in the village doesn’t believe in Brother Xiang’s character?”

“That’s right.”

Wang Shichu was speechless. He realized that these villagers were pitifully innocent. When the village women were looking for trouble with him, he quickly slipped away and went elsewhere to listen to the old woman.

“Pay more attention to the heat. It has to look good when baked, and it has to be baked just right. Otherwise, if it’s too burnt, it won’t sell for a good price.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You have to pay attention.”

“Take a look. This is suitable. This one is not dry enough. This one has been roasted.”
