Chapter 56: Space Upgrade and Big Enemy
The goods were officially delivered to the other two restaurants and Fat Sister only the day after tomorrow, and Ye Caiping went to the town to purchase the next day.
I bought 100 kilograms of black fungus, day lily, etc. at one time, and also bought two large iron pots, which can make a large bucket of food at a time.
Fortunately, when the house was built, a large kitchen was specially built, otherwise with the workload today, it would be impossible to handle it.
At this time, Ye Peng and Yinhua came in each carrying a bundle of firewood. Ye Caiping walked over and stuffed 12 cents into their pockets.
Ye Peng was startled: "Why did my aunt give me money?"
Ye Caiping said, "I will need 6 bundles of firewood a day, and each bundle costs 2 wen, so I will give you 12 wen."
Ye Peng was stunned and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, grandma will beat me to death. How can I charge money for the firewood used at home?"
"We all use firewood at home, but making Huo La Tang is a business. Two buckets of soup require one bundle of firewood. This is fuel money, and it should be paid."
Otherwise, two children carrying two bundles of firewood a day would be enough for the family.
Now I am in the Hu La Tang business and I use 8 bundles a day. I work so hard, but it's still not enough to eat the spicy soup.
Old man Ye was free at the moment, smoking a water pipe at the door of the main hall: "Your aunt gave it to you, just keep it."
He also learned this when Ye Caiping paid Daquan and Erquan their wages.
For some matters, you have to distinguish between public and private, and you have to ask for your wages when they are due, otherwise there will be a fuss and it won't be clear.
Ye Peng and Yin Hua were delighted, but the next moment, Ye Peng frowned again: "But we can't pick up 6 bundles a day."
Yinhua said, "We have to cover the grasshoppers in the morning, otherwise the chickens will starve. We also have to catch grasshoppers when we see them while chopping wood."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Yinhua, go ask your sister and Yong'er and Xuan'er if they have time to chop wood."
Yinhua ran out in a flash. This time, Ye Yong and Ye Xuan were weeding in the fields.
Soon, Yinhua came back: "My elder and second brothers said they would not cut the chickens, and my sister would not cut them either. She only had the chicks in her mind, and apart from cooking and washing clothes, she was catching bugs and covering grasshoppers."
"Then go find Ye Xing and Ye Wang. If they are not available, find someone else. Anyway, I need 6 bundles a day. The 12 cents will be given to you to distribute."
Yinhua felt trusted, smiled sweetly, responded and ran out.
After a while, Ye Xing and Ye Wang followed Yinhua back, each carrying a bundle of firewood.
Ye Peng felt somewhat curious and proud, and felt like a big shopkeeper, so he gave two cents to each person.
Ye Caiping thought of the two boxes of snacks that Manager Chi sent her yesterday, one box of peanut crisps and the other box of osmanthus crisps.
Ye Caiping gave the box of peanut crisps to brother Ye Xing and said, "Take it home and give it to your grandparents."
"Thank you, aunt."
The brothers' eyes lit up, and then Peanut Crisp couldn't wait to leave.
Yinhua watched eagerly.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "There are more. I was too busy yesterday and forgot about it. I'll give you two pieces to try."
Yinhua swallowed and said, "Big brother and second brother are still in the field. Let's eat together after dinner."
"Okay." Ye Caiping touched her head. Yinhua was really well-behaved.
…
The next day, Ye Caiping and Old Lady Ye got up early and started a new life.
After Ye Erquan delivered the goods, he could go straight back with the money.
Ye Caiping agreed with the three restaurants and Fat Sister that the payment method would be cash on delivery and settlement on the spot.
In just two days, Ye Caiping earned 10 taels and 2 cents. This was just the beginning, and the money would roll in every day.
Adding the proceeds from setting up the stall a few days ago, I had a total of 18 taels in my hand.
Ye Caiping opened the system panel, and a long-lost mechanical sound rang out:
[Host, you are back!] If you want to obtain trading permissions, please upgrade your space. 】
Ye Caiping nodded slightly and immediately pressed the upgrade button.
[It costs 10 taels to upgrade the space. Would the host like to upgrade? 】
Ye Caiping pressed the "Yes" button.
[The space is upgrading, 1%2%...100%. Congratulations to the host for the successful upgrade. The storage space has increased tenfold to 1 cubic meter. The number of transactions is 3 times, with an upper limit of 20 taels. 】
Ye Caiping said: "Being a host is different. You actually told me the number of transactions."
[The host has the right to know.] 】
Ye Caiping's eyes widened: "You can actually answer!"
But the system didn't respond, and Ye Caiping began to understand. This system is not fully intelligent, but a triggered NPC. It will only respond when asked keywords that need explanation.
Ye Caiping said again: "No, I traded four times before I upgraded. How come I only traded three times after I upgraded?"
[This system can only be traded three times after each upgrade. When the host is still a customer, the extra time is for experience. 】
Ye Caiping frowned: "That's what you said, but your transaction limit is only 20 taels, which is too stingy."
【20 taels is not stingy.】 The existence of this system is to provide more security for the host's pastoral life, rather than allowing the host to speculate and win without doing anything. 】
Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly. This system is not very smart and is full of loopholes!
Even if you only have 20 taels, you can still make money by reselling.
For example, you spend 10 taels to buy a mountain ginseng in the system, and then you can sell it for 200 taels outside.
In the book, didn't Li Jiaojiao rely on this skill to sell two ginsengs every month, making a profit of 400 taels, and then she could just sit at home and wait for death every day.
Later, he picked up the Regent, the Duke's wife, and the miracle doctor...
Throughout the entire article, I never saw her grow a single blade of grass or earn a penny on her own.
After all, I have been digging cassava for so long, getting up early and working at the stall late.
These 20 taels of credit and three trading opportunities should not be wasted.
After thinking about it, Ye Caiping gave a wicked smile and clicked on the page.
[The host has chosen a small transparent glass vase, the price is 10 cents each, would you like to buy it? 】
"purchase!"
After a while, there was a glass bottle in her space, which was well made.
After Ye Caiping finished preparing the spicy soup for lunch, she went up the mountain carrying a backpack.
After walking around the mountain, we arrived at the entrance of the village.
After waiting for a while, I saw a ox cart from another village passing by and got on it.
Instead of going to a small town or a county town, he went directly to the provincial capital and found a shop selling vases and porcelain.
Ye Caiping put the glass bottle on the table and said, "Boss, I dug this up in the mountains."
The shopkeeper looked at the bottle and his eyes widened: "Oh my God, this is a glass bottle, how come it is so transparent?"
As he spoke, he called over a few craftsmen who made porcelain, glass and the like, and started a chattering discussion.
Ye Caiping sat aside and waited slowly.
After a long while, the shopkeeper finally said, "Where did you get this bottle, young lady?"
"It's in Baishi Town, on the back mountain of Daniu Village." Ye Caiping made up a place at random.
"How much do you want for this bottle, young lady?"
Ye Caiping said, "Shopkeeper, give me a price."
The shopkeeper's eyes gleamed: "This one... although it's very transparent, it's a bit thin. I can only give you 100 taels."
As he said this, he looked at Ye Caiping with trepidation.
Ye Caiping knew how great an impact this bottle had on people of that era, and its value was far more than 100 taels.
But a glass bottle worth 10 coins was sold for 100 taels. Ye Caiping felt a little embarrassed and nodded:
"OK."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Ye Caiping looked at him as if he were an enemy, he immediately took out a silver note and put the bottle away.
Ye Caiping looked at the shopkeeper as if he was a big enemy, so she took the money and left immediately.
