Old Mrs. Song and Mrs. Chen exchanged a glance.
That brat has so many tricks up her sleeve; it's not impossible for her to have made that much money.
The question is, why can a food stall make so much money?
The two were completely baffled.
"What do you think we should do?" Old Mrs. Song asked Song Ruier.
"Grandma, I want to go to the county town with them to see what they're selling and how they're selling it, so our family can learn from them."
“Alright, then you can go with me tomorrow,” said Old Mrs. Song.
Song Ruier hesitated for a moment: "But I need to take a carriage and eat, which will cost money."
"You can ride in whatever carriage you want and eat whatever you want. You are the grandson of the Qiao family, so go with the Qiao family in their carriage. Ask them for directions while you're there, and eat at their food stalls. It's that simple, and you won't have to spend a single penny."
Upon hearing that money was required, Chen forcefully shoved the firewood into the stove, sending up a series of sparks that singed and curled a few strands of her hair.
Song Ruier lowered her head: "Last time I wanted to go to the county town with them, they kicked me out of the carriage. They wouldn't let me get on the carriage, so I had to sneak away."
"Alright, here's fifty coins. When you come back tomorrow, tell us all about the tricks the Qiao family has up their sleeves." Old Mrs. Song muttered, "Every year we just wait to sell our grain and earn that little bit of silver, but they catch up with us by using crooked tricks."
A carriage ride costs twenty coins, and a round trip costs forty coins. Only ten coins were left for Song Ruier's food, enough for just three steamed buns.
However, Song Ruier dared not ask for it again.
As he watched the night deepen, a resolute look appeared on his youthful face.
He wants to make a name for himself, he wants to make a lot of money and get rich.
After finishing their meal at the Qiao family's house, Fusheng came again. This time, he went straight into the courtyard and tugged at Qiao Lian'er's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Lian'er, I overheard that Song Rui'er is also going to the county town tomorrow to see what you two are up to. You'd better be careful."
"good."
This news was even more useful than the previous one, and Qiao Lian'er immediately gave him three candies.
Fusheng's eyes lit up, and he ran out with the candy in his hand.
Qiao Lian'er thought to herself that she should be on guard tomorrow. If Song Rui'er found out that she didn't have anyone to coordinate with and could get so many supplies just by sneaking into the carriage, she would probably spread rumors that she was a demon or monster and kill her, or she would use this to blackmail her and make a profit from it.
He is absolutely capable of doing something like that.
I sprayed pesticide in the paddy fields at home today. We need fewer and fewer people to work in the river channel. We can free up two more people tomorrow.
Grandma Qiao decided that everyone should go to the fields and harvest all the wheat.
In the past, we would sell some of it, but this year we won't. We'll grind it all into powder and use it to make pancakes, steamed buns, and dumplings.
Now that resources are plentiful, we no longer need to rely on the little bit of produce from the land, nor on the game that is hard to hunt in the mountains.
Qiao Lian'er lay on the bed and used the gold coins she earned from level one crops to buy several plots of level two land. She planted level two crops on them and used fertilizers, pesticides, and growth promoters.
Although the value of first-level items is not high, the planting area is vast, and the amount of gold coins earned in a day is still considerable, which can provide a foundation for the development and expansion of second-level items.
One night later, each item yielded a thousand catties.
We didn't use many chili peppers and sweet potatoes, so we kept some and sold the rest of the Qiao Lian'er for gold coins.
However, she felt that chili peppers could also be of considerable value.
I'll think about that when I have some free time.
