Chapter 275: Stealing Questions and a Great Harvest
"Ugh—bah!" Shen Manman pushed his folding fan away, angrily:
“Why do you want people to shut up?”
"Your bed is only 5 feet wide (about 1.6 meters), and it would be too crowded to put two more quilts. After August, the weather will be hot and cold. You can't just take the quilt out of the cupboard when it's cold today and put it back when it's hot tomorrow."
"The bed is big. When it's hot, you can pile the quilt aside. You don't have to keep putting it in the closet. It's so troublesome. Please be considerate of Aunt Feng's old arms and legs."
Shen Zhiyan tilted his head: “Oh, you’re talking about this.”
"What else?" A look of confused curiosity.
"Nothing, just make it bigger."
Ye Caiping laughed: "How big should it be? How about 6 feet (about 2 meters)?"
"Six feet then."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Shen Zhiyan half-opened his folding fan, pressed it against his lips, and coughed dryly: “It’s getting late, Shen will take his leave first.”
After saying that, he dragged Shen Manman away.
Ye Caiping sent the father and daughter to the door before turning back.
…
After Li Jiaojiao and her family of four left, they drove their donkey cart home.
When they returned to the county, Li Jiaojiao said, "Dad and Mom, you guys go back first. My brother and I will go around the county."
Having just spent 6 taels and 8 cents on Li Jiaojiao, Li Zhiyuan felt very embarrassed and nodded quickly: "Good man, let's go shopping."
After getting off the ox cart, Li Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, don't look at how much money the Ye family has made now, but everything else is inferior, only studying is superior."
"In the imperial examination the day after tomorrow, my brother will definitely win first place. In this provincial examination, you should prepare to win the title of first place in one fell swoop!"
After saying that, he pulled Li Zimo away quickly.
Li Zhiyuan was stunned. Ever since Li Jiaojiao came back with the money she earned, he felt like he was dreaming.
Seeing him in a daze, Zhang Shui Niang curled her lips slightly:
"Why, you don't believe Jiaojiao? Let me tell you, Jiaojiao is not an ordinary person. She is a person with great luck and will definitely become a superior person in the future."
"Since she said that Zimo and you can get into high school, then you must be able to. Otherwise, why would she say such a thing?"
"She was the only one who dug up ginseng before! Later, she was unlucky and fell into poverty for a while. Now her luck has returned."
Li Zhiyuan quickly smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me this. Some time ago... I was confused for a moment and made you and your daughter sad."
"Mrs. Shui, thank you for forgiving me."
As he spoke, he held her hand tightly.
Zhang Shui Niang pouted with great pride: "It's good that you know it. If you bully me again in the future, I will never forgive you."
"Okay, okay, I swear."
After Li Zhiyuan finished speaking, even he was moved.
He is not the kind of unfaithful man. He has always been wholeheartedly devoted to Shui Niang.
Too many things happened recently. It was all because of that bitch Ye that made me angry, and that bitch Zhao was there to stir up trouble.
Otherwise, why would he treat Shuiniang and Jiaojiao like that!
It’s all because of those villains!
He will definitely treat them mother and daughter well in the future.
In addition, his current good luck also makes him more determined about his future.
When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard!
His good life now further proves what he said. He has endured the hardships and he is going to succeed!
Li Zhiyuan was so excited that he almost turned the donkey cart into a chariot, as if his future of being made a marquis and a prime minister lay ahead.
…
Li Jiaojiao and Li Zimo came to a place not far from the government office and stood under a tree.
She only told Li Zimo about her clairvoyance because she didn't dare go to the casino alone, and she needed help to steal the questions.
Li Zimo lowered his voice and said:
"The examination is set by the county magistrate and two randomly selected candidates. After the questions are set, the two candidates will be kept under surveillance and cannot come into contact with outsiders."
"The test papers will also be sealed and guarded by yamen runners day and night."
"Our new county magistrate of Yue'an County has not yet taken office. It is said that the test questions are set by the prefect himself. Anyway, they are all sealed here."
Li Jiaojiao nodded: "Is it that room?"
"Yes, that's where the county government keeps important books."
Only a slightly red tile roof could be seen on the high wall.
Li Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows: "This distance is less than five meters, I can see it!"
He snorted and laughed smugly, "Even if they send a thousand people to guard it, they can't stop my Sky Eye!"
Li Zimo was so nervous that he clenched his fists: "Jiaojiao, hurry up."
"good."
Li Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, a gleam of light flashed across her eyes, and then she said happily: "I see! Brother, come on! The first question is..."
Li Zimo excitedly took out a blank notebook and pen from his sleeve and began to take notes.
The two men's behavior was a bit strange, but they were not close to the government office, so no one would have thought that they would steal the questions from a distance.
After a while, Li Zimo had memorized it.
"Let's go!" Li Jiaojiao said anxiously.
The brother and sister left excitedly, went to the carriage and horse shop, rented a donkey cart, and rushed to the city quickly.
Soon, they arrived at the home of a scholar.
The two knocked on the door and were invited in.
Li Jiaojiao had already made preparations for the test questions and had selected several top-notch candidates. And meet them in advance, discuss knowledge with them and make friends with them.
After Li Zimo entered, he asked the scholar about one of the questions. Seeing that Li Zimo was eager to learn, the scholar taught him.
After learning a question, the two left the city and went to the neighboring county to ask another person for help.
At night, the two did not go home and stayed in the inn. Continue asking questions the next morning.
In this way, I had the answers to all the questions by noon the next day.
Because the students were scattered and far away from each other, even if some candidates found out after the examination that they had taught Li Zimo this question, they would just think that Li Zimo had guessed the question correctly.
No one could have imagined that Li Zimo had the ability to steal questions.
The college entrance examination is tomorrow, and Li Zimo only has half a day left. After returning home, he memorized the answers like crazy.
…
However, on the opening day of Qinghe Furniture Workshop, business was in full swing.
As much as 70% of the furniture in the entire store was cleared out.
In particular, some dressing tables, dressing boxes, round stools and swivel chairs were all sold out.
As for those large pieces of furniture, many of them said they would go home to measure the size and come back tomorrow.
In addition, we have received more than 300 orders, all of which require on-site measurement and custom-made.
Qinghe Furniture Workshop had a great start.
Wang Shuantou, Ye Lizheng and others who were originally worried, all smiled so hard that their teeth were showing, they made a fortune!
There was also Hu Xiaosi, who showed off more than 20 sets of large furniture in one day and earned a commission of 2 taels.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but sigh and laugh when she saw the results. This guy is truly a natural sales talent, a definite gold medal sales champion!
Ye Fulai also sold six or seven large sets of furniture and a dozen or so small pieces of furniture.
The three waiters he hired also sold products almost as well as Ye Fulai.
Ye Caiping, Huan'er and Jinhua also sold a lot.
Jin'er wasn't very good at selling goods, and she only sold about ten small ones a day.
Ye Peng usually seems to be a good talker, but he remains silent when a customer asks him a question, and never gets to the point even after talking for a long time.
It was difficult for Yinhua because she was too tight-lipped, so she only sold five or six small stools.
Don’t even mention Wang Shuantou and his son and Ye Yong. They are skilled workers and can’t sell goods.
Regardless, today is a great harvest.
Ye Caiping suggested that everyone go to the restaurant for dinner!
