Chapter 185:
Mo Kaifu
Mo Kaifu immediately provided an answer, "A total of 120 wen."
Thinking that this vegetable price was casually mentioned by Mourong Lingran, he didn't question further.
"What if the customer wants nine pounds?"
"A total of 180 wen."
"For small bok choy, the price is still 20 wen per pound, small green vegetables are 20 wen per pound, and spinach is 25 wen per pound. The customer wants eight pounds of small bok choy, nine pounds of small green vegetables, and nine pounds of spinach. How much should you charge?"

Mo Kaifu only paused for a moment before promptly answering, "A total of 565 wen."
Mourong Lingran nodded in satisfaction. The first one went smoothly. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are selected."
Mo Kaifu, being young, jumped up happily upon hearing this and quickly said, "Thank you, Miss, no, thank you, young master."
"No need to thank me; you already had the ability."
Mo Kaifu scratched the back of his head with a simple smile, "Still, thank you, young master."
Mrs. Xia, watching her son being selected successfully, felt extremely excited. She had initially wanted to thank the Mourong family with her son, but seeing that they were busy, she had to give up.
While things progressed smoothly on Mourong Lingran's side, the other three brothers also selected two each.
Soon, the second round began, and in a short time, six people were selected from the initial ten—all young men aged fifteen to twenty.
After a while, the six vegetable pickers were chosen, including some who had helped the Mourong family clear land or build bamboo houses.
Seeing that the required number of people was met, other villagers, disappointed, were about to leave. Suddenly, Mourong Lingran spoke, "Please wait, everyone."
The footsteps paused, and they heard her say slowly, "My family recently bought twenty acres of fallow land, and we need a considerable number of hands. Anyone who previously worked on clearing the land at my place is welcome to join."
"For others who wish to join, as long as you meet the requirements I mentioned earlier and pass the interview, you can join. Of course, clearing land still pays thirty copper coins per day, and lunch is not provided."
As soon as she finished speaking, the previously silent crowd erupted in excitement.
The Mourong family unexpectedly purchased another twenty acres of land?
They just finished building houses, and now they can sell vegetables from their fields. With so much more land, wouldn't the Mourong family truly become the first family in Lihua Village?
People began enthusiastically signing up, and the atmosphere became lively again.
A woman who hadn't gone far heard Mourong Lingran's words, her face changing. Instead of going home, she walked in another direction.
"I... I want to join."
"Count me in."
"I'm in too."
"Me too."
Mourong Zong quickly said, "Alright, one by one for interviews. Those who pass can arrange their household affairs today and start working tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly began to line up in an orderly fashion, afraid of giving a bad impression to the employer.
After a while, when everyone was registered and had undergone a simple questioning session, almost all had found employment.
Mourong Zong looked at the list and shook his head. "There are too few people for clearing land. I wonder how long it will take."
"Dad, it's okay. Plant one acre, clear one acre. We can't eat a whole pie in one gulp. Let's take it slowly."
Nowadays, almost every household in Lihua Village had fields, so people were prioritizing their own work.
