"What's all the rush about? Don't ask yet. Lian'er has a surprise for everyone." Grandma Qiao instructed everyone, "Don't disrupt Lian'er's plan."
Although Grandma Qiao was also very curious, Lian'er didn't say anything for the time being, so they would just have to wait and see.
Qiao Lian'er then prepared some dishes that no one had ever eaten before, and the Qiao family enjoyed a delicious feast.
While sleeping, she lay in bed and calculated that the stall fee was ten taels, the carriage rental was five taels, and the other stoves and pots cost one tael. In total, the cost for the day was sixteen taels.
Even just recouping the costs isn't easy.
However, she was confident.
Over the next few days, Qiao Lian'er either managed the space or practiced driving a horse-drawn carriage on the road above Datian Village.
When the villagers saw this, they asked, "Lian'er, did your family buy a horse-drawn carriage?"
"It wasn't bought, it was rented."
"Renting a horse-drawn carriage is so expensive, what do you need it for? You can't even earn back the monthly rent by making countless trips a day carrying passengers."
"It has its own use." Qiao Lian'er didn't say much more.
The villagers initially thought the carriage was bought by the Qiao family, and they were surprised at how wealthy the Qiao family had become. Hearing that it was rented, they felt a little better.
After seven days of work, with hundreds of villagers working together tirelessly, the sediment in the paddy field area has been mostly dredged, and the diversion channels are almost finished. All that's left is to deepen the ditches and widen them to the sides.
Now, each household only needs to contribute half of its members.
Qiao Lian'er is going to the county town to sell things, so of course she can't go alone. With some people available, and the second-level items in the space about to be unlocked, it's the perfect time.
“Mom, Big Brother Meng, Little Brother Meng, Sister Zhizhi, let’s go to the county town together tomorrow,” Qiao Lian’er said.
There's a lot of work to do, so we need to get more manpower.
The answer was about to be revealed. They were the first to see it. Da Meng, Xiao Meng, and Zhi Zhi were all very excited and immediately agreed. They also warned Da Cheng and Dayong not to try to take it from them.
Da Cheng rolled his eyes: "It's only a matter of time. We'll find out when you guys get back."
Grandma Qiao instructed: "When we get to the county town, do whatever Lian'er tells you to do. If I find out anyone who argues with Lian'er and messes things up, I'll punish them."
"Don't worry, Grandma. We're just afraid we'll be too slow in doing what Lian'er asked us to do," Zizi chuckled.
The moonlight outside was hazy, and the chirping of insects rose and fell. Inside the house, the lights had long been turned off, and the soft snoring of Qiao Yunni could be heard.
Qiao Lian'er didn't sleep; she kept her eyes open, staring at the sky.
She waited until after midnight, then applied the new day's fertilizer and growth promoters, harvested another batch, and had enough gold coins.
The space contained a timer from the world she came from; the second hand ticked away, like tapping on her heart.
Finally, the hour, minute, and second hands all pointed to midnight, and the next day arrived.
Qiao Lian'er immediately took action, and with a whoosh, she quickly amassed 20,000 gold coins, bringing her total to one million.
A virtual interface pops up in the space: You currently have enough gold coins to unlock the second-level item. Do you want to unlock it?
Qiao Lian'er clicked "OK".
