Chapter 30: Changes in the Spiritual Spring
After seeing off the guests and selling out the wraps, Ji Zhisui and his group prepared to go home.
She calculated in her mind that she had sold more than fifty copies today, and if she came tomorrow morning and afternoon, she could prepare two hundred copies to see if she could.
The flour you buy can be used for a few days, but vegetables and meat are consumed quickly, and the freshness of the ingredients is also required. If a large quantity of vegetables is needed, you can make a reservation, but the meat can only be bought and cooked immediately.
She found the vegetable stall where she had been selling vegetables in the morning, and there were still many vegetables that had not been sold in front of the stall.
People living on North Street are not very well off, and buying vegetables outside every day is a considerable expense. Most people grow vegetables in their courtyards or vegetable gardens.
The old man selling vegetables was wearing straw sandals and tattered clothes. The clothes were obviously ill-fitting and a lot too short. It seemed that selling vegetables did not bring him much income.
"Uncle, do you grow all these vegetables yourself?"
"Yes, I grow them all myself, picked them that day and they're so fresh!"
Hearing someone asking, Old Man Sun looked up, and after seeing Ji Zhisui, he asked nervously, "Young lady, is there something wrong with the vegetables I sold this morning?"
This young lady bought a lot, it is unlikely that she would eat it all in one meal. Is there really something wrong with his food?
"No, old man, your food is delicious. It's amazing that you still remember me."
Old Man Sun scratched his head in embarrassment. The vegetable stall business was not very good. Today he finally met a big customer. In addition, the young lady and the young man beside her were so good-looking that it was hard to forget them.
"Uncle, I'd like to order food from you. Would you be willing?"
"Yes, of course I do!" Mr. Sun answered repeatedly.
Their family had a good harvest this year, and some of the vegetables could only be sold to restaurants at low prices. They couldn't sell them on the North Street, and they had to pay stall fees on the South Street. The competition was fierce, and he was worried!
"Old man, please deliver five pounds of cabbage, five pounds of radishes, five pounds of spring bamboo shoots, and five pounds of bean sprouts to the North Street residential building at dawn tomorrow. Counting from the sixth building, ask for Miss Ji. This is a five-cent deposit, please keep it!"
After stating his needs, Ji Zhisui took out five copper coins.
After accepting it, Mr. Sun assured him, "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely pick the best dishes and send them to you!"
When he was almost at the door of his house, Ji Zhisui saw Mrs. Pei looking around outside.
Mrs. Pei also saw Sui Niang and hurried to greet her.
"Sui Niang, is the burrito business not selling well? It's okay, let's think of other ways. I'll go out tomorrow to see if there's anything I can do."
The old lady said a lot, fearing that business would be bad and Sui Niang would be sad. Business is not so easy to do these days.
"Grandma, look." Ji Zhisui opened the plate of rolls, and it was empty.
Mrs. Pei, who was still muttering, turned her mouth into an O shape. Was she...was she seeing things?
In just one hour, all the burritos on the plate were sold out?
"Grandma, let's go back and talk about it in detail." Pei Yian reminded her that the street was not a good place to chat.
The old lady was walking in front in a daze, and they were all sold out. The burrito business was really good!
After arriving home, Ji Zhisui gathered the whole family together. She poured all the money she had earned that day onto the table. The crackling sound of the coins seemed like the most beautiful melody in the world.
"We sold over fifty burritos today and earned a total of 126 coins."
Everyone's eyes fell on the copper plates on the table, and Mrs. Pei reached out and touched the copper plates.
One hundred coins a day, one tael of silver in ten days, that's three taels of silver a month... This money is enough for them to live frugally for a long time.
Pei Shi thought about how she would make money in the future, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Grandma, mother, you don't know how popular the spring rolls are. Many customers didn't buy any and are planning to come back to buy them today! Sui Niang only prepared fifty or so spring rolls. If she had prepared two or three hundred, she could have made four or five hundred coins!" Pei Ersao was full of confidence in Ji Zhisui.
They had never imagined that they could earn four or five hundred coins a day.
"Grandma, please accept all this money!" Ji Zhisui had no intention of taking the money.
The cart used to set up the stall was paid for by the Pei family, and they also helped a lot when making the wraps.
If it weren't for the Pei family, she wouldn't be able to handle it all by herself.
"Sui Niang, this is the money you earned. Take it. From now on, the management of the family will be handed over to you!" Old Madam Pei handed a pottery jar to Ji Zhisui, which contained all their money.
"Grandma, please leave the housekeeping to mother." Ji Zhisui declined. Even if the old lady didn't manage the household, it would be more suitable to leave it to Pei and his second sister-in-law than to himself.
"I can't do it. I'm weak and I get a headache when I come into contact with these things!" Pei refused. She had never taken care of the household in the general's mansion before, and now she just wanted to make money by embroidering.
Pei Ersao was afraid that Ji Zhisui would ask her, so she quickly said, "Sui Niang, I can't do it either. Whenever I see those digital ledgers, I get overwhelmed. I can't manage them at all."
If Ji Zhisui remembered correctly, in ancient times, everyone attached great importance to the power of stewardship, and some sisters-in-law even fought over it until they were bloody. How come the situation is reversed now?
Pei Yian said, "My lady, just accept it with peace of mind!"
In the end, Ji Zhisui had no choice but to accept the pottery jar, which meant he accepted the right to be the steward.
She took out twenty-six coins from it and gave five coins to each member of the Pei family and three coins to the two children.
Mrs. Pei looked at the five coins in her hand and asked everyone's question: "Sui Niang, you are the housekeeper, you don't need to give me money."
"Grandma, this is today's wages. Everyone helped a lot this morning, otherwise I wouldn't have finished making the burritos so quickly!"
Pei Tiantian looked at the three copper coins in her hand and asked, "Aunt San, how come I get some too?"
Ji Zhisui pinched Pei Tiantian's cheek and said, "Because Tiantian also helped, there will be rewards for the work."
"Great! Tiantian can make money too!" Pei Tiantian happily clutched the three copper coins in her hand.
After dividing the money, Ji Zhisui put the remaining hundred coins into a clay pot and placed the pot next to his bed.
After doing all this, she ran to the kitchen and looked at the bone and radish soup in the pot.
These stews are not very oily, but they are very nutritious. Ji Zhisui also did not forget to add a few drops of spiritual spring water from the space.
She found that the spiritual spring pool, which was originally the size of a small bowl, had become larger and now had the weight of a large bowl, and the amount of spiritual spring water had also increased.
This time she can guarantee that it is definitely not her illusion!
I remembered that the last time I discovered that something was wrong with the spiritual spring water was at the inn. Now there is more spiritual spring water. Why is that?
Throughout the exile, the amount of spiritual spring water did not change at all.
These days, after coming to Qizhou County from Huizhou City, she didn't do anything earth-shattering, but just made a good living.
Although she didn't know the reason, she was happy to see the changes in the Lingquan space.
