Chapter 20: Race Against Time (1/2)

Zhao Taohua quickly arranged it.

"Why?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked in confusion. Of course, it was important to make money, but she was so anxious as if the sky was falling.

Zhao Dazhu then told them about Manager He's plan to buy the secret recipe and Zhao Taohua's promise to Manager He. At first, they didn't understand.

Only Old Man Zhao showed a thoughtful expression.

Zhao Taohua immediately explained the logic of the human relationships and social conventions to everyone, and only then did the entire Zhao family feel a sense of power.

"If you don't want to sell it, you have your reasons. Let's listen to Taohua," said Old Man Zhao with finality. The reason their family can have food to eat now is all thanks to the hard work of their daughter who has returned home.

"Dad is right," Zhao Dazhu also nodded. Now the third sister is no longer the confused girl she used to be. She is now radiant and bright.

"In that case, let's pick more ice jelly seeds as soon as possible. If we work every day in the future, we might not have enough time."

Zhao Taohua said.

After that, the family had a hearty meal and then each of them went up the mountain carrying a bamboo basket.

Seeing how busy his family was, Zhao Sizhu quickly said, "How about I go to school a few days later and go set up the stall with you guys these few days?"

"That's not the case. You should go to school as usual. Don't worry, we can handle all the people at home." Zhao Taohua looked anxious, but she was not really anxious. She just wanted to make more money as soon as possible before her secret was discovered.

The cooked food after dinner is her lifeline.

"Yes, according to your third sister, if you feel bad about it, collect more ice jelly in the afternoon," said Old Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao Sizhu could only nod. This feeling of powerlessness at not being able to help at home made him feel like an abandoned young wife, and he worked even harder.

The family came down from the mountain in the evening.

It must be said that after the carpet-style collection over the past few days, there was not much left on the mountain. In the end, Zhao Erzhu and Zhao Sanzhu specially ran to several mountains to find more.

After returning home, I hang out the clothes to dry, clean up, and cook.

Zhao Dazhu went to find Erniu in advance. Erniu was the only family in the village who had an ox cart, so if he wanted to transport goods, he had to go through their family.

When Erniu heard that Zhao Dazhu wanted to charter a car, his eyes widened in surprise. However, Erniu was not stupid. He was already quite confused by the various actions of the Zhao family in recent days.

He had long since stopped believing in the idea of brown rice porridge.

Then someone from the next village said that they had seen the Zhao family selling iced drinks at a stall in the evening market. Recently, Fushunlou in town started selling a new kind of iced drink called amber, which was very expensive. It was said that it was the same thing as the one sold by the Zhao family.

Moreover, he had touched the Zhao family's wooden barrel, and it was cold.

I already have a rough guess in my mind.

However, Erniu was a kind-hearted young man, and he didn't point it out. But when he saw that the Zhao family was going to transport four barrels at once, he couldn't help but remind them.

"Brother Zhuzi, when I was recruiting people the day before yesterday, I heard from people in other villages that you guys sell iced drinks? I guess some people in the village already know about it."

It just hasn't exploded yet.

What Erniu said was also a kind reminder.

When Zhao Dazhu heard this, although he was shocked, he actually had a premonition in his heart. There is no wall that is completely airtight in this world, and this is why Zhao Taohua wanted to make money as soon as possible.

There really is no time.
