Ms. Huang was deeply moved.

"Grandma, what have I done to deserve such a sweet and caring daughter like you?"

"Oh dear, I almost forgot, Grandma brought this for you."

She quickly took the oil paper package out of her bosom. Luckily, Huang knew to sew an extra pocket inside her clothes.

Otherwise, with all that fussing around all day, that oil paper package would have long since disappeared.

Fortunately, it was wrapped in oiled paper, so it wasn't soaked by Huang's sweat.

"What is this?" Zhao Qingyan asked, puzzled.

"Just open it and you'll see."

Mrs. Huang felt like she was showing off a treasure. She stared intently at her granddaughter, hoping she would open it quickly.

Zhao Qingyan couldn't feel the weight of the oil paper package, nor could she feel anything hard inside, so she was extra careful when opening it.

After the oil paper package was opened layer by layer, the thick stack of silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, totaling 80 notes, was revealed, which surprised them greatly.

"Grandma, where did this come from? Did you go rob some bandits? Or did you raid some bandit den?"

Zhao Qingyan really couldn't figure out where all that money came from.

Mrs. Huang poked her granddaughter's forehead with her finger.

"So in your eyes, your grandma can only survive by robbing? Can't you use your brain? Are you still my favorite granddaughter?"

Zhao Qingyan chuckled awkwardly.

"Grandma, I was wrong. I was just so surprised by these silver notes, it was like a windfall. Grandma, tell me about it."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to take Huang's arm and shake it affectionately.

Huang stopped pretending to be mysterious and told the truth about selling the child.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned.

"Grandma, you're amazing! This is incredible. It doesn't affect our business at all, and we can still sell it for such a high price."

I previously thought that even selling it for 3,000 taels would be an exorbitant price.

Upon hearing Zhao Qingyan's stated price range, Huang immediately became unhappy.

"Look at your pathetic self, asking for 3,000 taels! Don't you realize that our family earns over a hundred taels a month, or even more, just by selling tofu?"

You can earn 3,000 taels in two years with hard work.

Ruyilou is aiming to open branches all over the country. Can you still say this price is high?

Zhao Qingyan was still impressed by the old lady's sales skills.

"Not high, not high, milk is the best."

Huang chuckled, looking incredibly smug.

"Alright, stop nagging and quickly put away all the silver notes."

When I go back to town or the county, I'll find a money exchange to exchange it for gold or silver. I always feel like these banknotes aren't reliable.

Zhao Qingyan nodded in agreement.

"I also feel that banknotes are not reliable, I just like the feeling of holding gold and silver in my hand, it makes me feel secure."

But Grandma, did my aunt and uncle know you sold the tofu recipe?

Huang rolled her eyes at Zhao Qingyan.

"You really are incredibly stupid."

The tofu recipe is yours, and the money from selling it is naturally yours too. What does it have to do with them?

Besides, our family can still make and sell tofu every day, and the money we earn has already gone into the family coffers. What more do you want?

They have the nerve to take advantage of a young girl like you.

Anyone who dares to say no, I'll beat their head to a pulp.

Zhao Qingyan was overjoyed, "Grandma, I love how domineering you are."

Since it's for herself, why be polite? Zhao Qingyan put the money into her spatial storage.

After quickly fetching water for Huang to wash her hands and face, I took out the boiled fish, braised pork knuckle, salt-baked chicken, and spicy crayfish that I had packed from my previous life from my spatial storage.

Worried that eating only meat would be too greasy, I quickly went to the field and picked some newly grown lettuce, washed it, and served it with a dish of spicy sauce.

After asking Mr. Huang's preferences, I took out a large cup of iced milk tea.

Huang invented a new way of eating: lettuce wraps for pork knuckle and lettuce wraps for chicken.

The old lady ate with great satisfaction.

"My dear, while you were away from home, my mouth was practically tasteless."

Even the most delicious mala tang (spicy hot pot) gets boring if you eat it every day. As for the cooking skills of your aunts and sisters-in-law, I really can't say I'm impressed.

Aside from the dishes you teach them, they won't offer any more variety.

I, an old woman, have forgotten what delicious food is.

Oh, I forgot to mention, we recently hired a few more people.

There are two men and six women. The men are literate and can do the bookkeeping; they are good at handling household matters that require their attention.

The women there generally all know how to cook. And their cooking is better than your sister-in-law's or aunt's.

Qingyi has learned a lot from them recently.

"You know, it really comes down to the Zhao family; they're much smarter than these outsiders."

Zhao Qingyan really wanted to mention Huang's rambling.

"Grandma, your surname isn't Zhao either."

Of course, Zhao Qingyan only dared to think about such provocative words in her mind.

If I dared to say it, not only would it upset my grandmother, but I would also likely get a beating.

"Grandma is really amazing." Zhao Qingyan listened to the old lady's rambling and occasionally offered a compliment.

Huang suddenly slapped his forehead.

"How could I forget such a big thing? Our family has started doing takeout. I found a little beggar."

I rented a house for them and bought them clothes and shoes.

Three meals a day are provided, and I get 200 coins a month. I get two coins for each delivery. Your grandma is pretty generous, isn't she?

Business has been booming these past few days.

Zhao Qingyan's lips twitched; she really wanted to say...

"You're so generous to only give someone 200 coins a month for their wages."

But then I thought about it again, and it wasn't wrong at all.

"Grandma is just kind-hearted. She provides food, lodging, and even clothing. She gets a monthly salary and a commission for delivering meals, which is very good."

That's a hundred times better than them being beggars struggling to get three meals a day. Grandma, by doing good deeds, you will surely be blessed in the future.

Huang's mouth was practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin.

"Yes, Grandma is already blessed. Look at what I just ate."

"We went to a fancy restaurant in the county before, and it cost over a hundred taels of silver, but I didn't feel that the food there tasted any better than this."

Zhao Qingyan really wanted to stand up for that restaurant.

"Grandma, the things sold in those restaurants are expensive because the ingredients are precious."

Putting aside everything else, who can afford to eat wild game without spending a lot of money?

Don't think that just because our family can afford it, we're one of the few families like ours, with three generations of strongmen.

The men in the family are all expert hunters.

Huang nodded, "Yes, that's right. Ah, a person shouldn't be too ambitious. If they are, they won't have much happiness."

Not to mention anything far away, just that wild goat, your grandma could knock it out with one slap. If we want to eat it, we can have a whole roasted goat tomorrow.

Try this on another family. Let alone whether they'll ever be able to eat mutton in their entire lives, even wealthy families would have to wait for an opportunity to enjoy wild game.

Spending money aside, it all comes down to luck.

"If they knew we could have whatever we wanted to eat anytime, wouldn't they be envious and jealous?"
