All we can say is that Old Mrs. Qiao had different ideas, so they went along with her.
Wearing these hairpins and bracelets really makes me feel different; I feel very satisfied and happy.
The women's clothing was also changed to better fine cotton, which was very comfortable to wear.
Yesterday, after browsing a jewelry store, I went to a clothing store and bought ready-made clothes.
Instead of spending the time buying fabric and making clothes, use that time to make money; you'll earn more than you save.
So, Grandma Qiao bought two outfits for everyone in the family, both men and women.
This cost another two taels of silver. The money spent on jewelry and clothes yesterday brought the total to twenty-two taels.
In Grandma Qiao's mind, with the current rate of making money, wealth will continue to accumulate. When conditions permit, one should not only think about making money, but also be frugal and afraid of spending a penny more. It is also important for the family to live a comfortable and peaceful life.
Today it was the eldest son's turn to cook, so Feng Shi and Xi'er stayed home, and Song Laoda also stayed. There always needs to be a strong and healthy man in this family.
When everyone arrived in the county town, they found that stall number six was already bustling with activity, with charcoal fires burning, oil frying, soup boiling, and all the snacks ready to be prepared.
"Fried potatoes, stir-fried peanuts, and boiled corn are even cheaper!" Grandma Song called out to the people on the street.
Boss Song: "Don't miss out! It's delicious and saves you money. We don't exploit our customers."
This means they exploit their customers, which the Qiao family found amusing.
I initially thought the Song family was joking; they wouldn't have any of these ingredients.
However, when their gaze fell on stall number six, the Qiao family couldn't help but be surprised.
It really is potatoes, peanuts, and corn.
Moreover, there were many bags piled up behind the stall, enough to sell for several days without any problem, or one could make a lot of money by wholesaling ingredients.
They exchanged incredulous glances, then looked at Qiao Lian'er.
"Don't worry, they can't compete with our family." Qiao Lian'er said calmly.
"Let's prepare our own."
The Qiao family didn't say anything and quickly got busy, feeling an added pressure of competition. The Song family had also gotten their hands on the ingredients and said they were cheaper.
Will it really steal their business? Although Lian'er said so, it's up to the customers to decide.
I'm not going to think about it too much anymore. I'd better hurry up and prepare the food. Looks like I'll have to come earlier next time.
Sure enough, upon hearing that it was the same ingredients but cheaper, the customers queuing at stall number eight all rushed to stall number six.
The Qiao family felt a chill in their hearts.
Both Wan and Lü felt a little uncomfortable wearing their silver bracelets and hairpins and wanted to take them off.
Is it because they lost money that the family's business fortune was affected?
If the Song family's business becomes even better in the future, and the Qiao family doesn't earn as much money, how can they feel at ease wearing these things?
A bowl of corn, a bowl of fried peanuts, and a bowl of fried potatoes were placed on stall number six.
Is your place really cheaper?
"Yes, our corn on the cob is only four coins each, and fried potatoes are also four coins a serving."
"Great, great, I'll have two corn cobs and a serving of fried potatoes."
An older woman gave her the money and quickly received the corn and fried potatoes.
The old woman peeled open the corn cob and eagerly took a big bite. Then she noticed something, looked up, and her face changed instantly.
