Hearing her family's praise and seeing their expressions of surprise and delight, Qiao Lian'er realized just how exaggerated the lie they were about to tell her was.
Even if it tastes bad, you should still praise her like that.
Fortunately, the dishes she made did not disappoint those words.
However, Qiao Lian'er is not entirely sure if her family likes the food she cooks.
Because these methods are different from usual, the taste is also different.
She said, "During this time, when everyone goes down to the river, I will cook for everyone every day."
"Okay, just thinking about having such good food makes me even more energetic to work," Qiao Dameng replied readily without any hesitation.
“We are so lucky to have such a delicious meal. Lian’er’s cooking skills are so good. After I’m done with this busy period, I’ll learn from Lian’er,” said Madam Feng.
Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Qiao Lian'er was finally convinced that her cooking skills were up to par here.
The portions were quite large, and everyone scraped every last drop of oil off their plates, making them look like they didn't need washing at all. Everyone ate to their heart's content.
Qiao Lian'er was calculating that the level two items in the space were about to be unlocked. When she needed to make money from these crops, how would she explain where they came from?
There was still something needed to cover it up, and that was the carriage.
But buying the horse and the carriage together is too expensive. The carriage costs eighty taels and the carriage costs twenty taels, which adds up to a hundred taels.
Qiao Lian'er consulted with Grandma Qiao: "Grandma, can we rent a carriage?"
"Lian'er, do you want to rent a carriage?"
"Well, buying a carriage is too expensive, so I'd like to rent one if it's possible."
"Renting is possible. There's a stable in our town. A regular one costs three taels of silver a month, and a better one costs five taels. Ordinary people can't afford it, so very few people rent carriages. Those who run carriages are mainly the stable's employees; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make a profit from the rent."
"After this period, they will go to the county town to find work, but renting a horse-drawn carriage is not worthwhile. Even if they go every month, the cost of riding in the carriage will not be as much as the rental fee."
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "Grandma, it's not for that. I rented the carriage for another purpose."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Qiao knew that a way to make money had come up, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Lian'er, what idea have you come up with this time?"
Qiao Lian'er winked at her grandmother: "It's an idea to make money. We need to buy some things these days, including renting a carriage. They can go down to the river to work, and we'll handle these things at home."
Grandma Qiao thought for a moment. She had already searched for mushrooms on the mountain, exerted her physical strength, and taken the smuggling mission. What other ways could she make money?
But the sickle always manages to surprise people.
This family is about to make a fortune again.
Grandma Qiao felt a surge of anticipation: "Okay, whatever you want to do, just do it. Grandma will support you."
Qiao Lian'er had already made a list in her mind: she needed an iron stove, an iron pot, an iron wok, charcoal, and the documents for setting up a stall.
First, one had to obtain a permit to set up a stall before applying to purchase iron stoves and other iron products, because iron products were strictly controlled. Even these cooking utensils were feared by the court for people to melt down and use as weapons.
The next day, after instructing Old Lady Qiao to buy charcoal at home, Qiao Lian'er took the household registration certificate and boarded a carriage to Yongguan County.
She was somewhat troubled on the way, because Datian Village was under the jurisdiction of Ning County, and she was going to set up a stall in Yongguan County, which might not go smoothly.
Unfortunately, Datian Village is located on the southeasternmost side of Ning County, which is too far from the county to find work or do business there, while Yongguan County is much closer.
