Every day, the money earned is handed over to the public fund for safekeeping. Yesterday's money has already been handed over to Old Lady Qiao, and Qiao Lian'er still has twenty taels left.
Then Qiao Lian'er recounted what had just happened to everyone.
"To get twenty taels so easily, I really must have met a benefactor," Qiao Laosan murmured.
“Yes, these rich people just casually throw around this much money. Twenty taels is the savings of many families,” said Madam Lü.
Xiao Meng: "Hmph, you dared not believe that Sister Lian'er had this ability? Now you've lost money, haven't you?"
Breakfast consisted of egg pancakes and meat patties, along with a bowl of millet porridge with sugar, red dates, and goji berries added.
After Qiao Lian'er filled his stomach, he drove the horse-drawn carriage with his whole family to the county town.
Everyone else went except for Lu Shi, Da Meng, and Xiao Meng.
After thinking about it, Qiao Laosan decided to stay.
Wheat is drying in front of and behind the house, and there's so much money hidden inside. It's better to leave a grown man at home.
Old Man Qiao, sitting in the carriage, said, "I've lived to be this old, and this is my first time going to the county town."
Qiao Lian'er was somewhat moved. In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and many people were born and died in the village their whole lives. The farthest they went was to the town, and they never went any further.
Even though carriages passed by, Old Man Qiao and Old Woman Qiao had no reason to go to the city.
Farmers work from sunrise to sunset, tending to their crops in the fields and their yards.
Now that the food stall has been set up, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao have finally decided to take a look.
The entire Song family squeezed onto the carriage behind them.
Song Ruier told them that the Qiao family was selling things they had never seen before on Changqing Street in Yongguan County, and their business was booming, earning dozens of taels a day.
They had been holding back all day, but they really couldn't sit still any longer and decided to go and take a look.
They dared not engage in escort missions; with so many people vying for the mushrooms on the mountain, they wouldn't earn much money.
But who doesn't know how to set up a stall and run a snack business? Besides, there's a lot of foot traffic in the county town.
Qiao Lian'er was still the same as always, driving the carriage to the abandoned courtyard and filling it to the brim with food and supplies.
As she stepped down from the carriage, she saw a man lurking suspiciously at the entrance of the alley.
The man looked at her and quickly looked away, but she still recognized him clearly – it was Boss Song.
Another head peeked out from the other alleyway; it was Song Daming.
The whole family came along.
Qiao Lian'er's eyes turned cold.
The carriage just stopped right at the gate of the courtyard. A carriage can carry 2,000 catties, but with so many people in the Qiao family and all these supplies, it has far exceeded that weight.
If she were to drive the carriage back now and unload so many ingredients, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Song family.
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment, then drove the carriage into the courtyard. Fortunately, the gate was large enough to accommodate the carriage.
Then she closed the courtyard gate.
How could Boss Song and Song Daming be willing to accept this? They rushed over here as fast as they could, wanting to see clearly how the ingredients were obtained and from whom they bought them.
