"You're going to ruin this family."
Those who bought the land ran away with the deeds, and the two brothers followed suit, clutching their hot silver coins, eager to gamble it all away.
A few days later, all the money was gambled away.
Chen's hair was completely white, and Shen's hair was also white. The two stopped talking, one sitting at the crossroads and the other at the door of their house, looking like old women in their sixties or seventies.
In contrast, the villagers were very lively.
Because the rainy season has arrived, mushrooms have started to grow on the mountains. Villagers go up the mountain to find mushrooms, process them, and sell them to the town and county seat.
Now, even many people in the county know that if you find the right mushrooms on the mountain, they won't harm you; on the contrary, they'll be delicious.
The rainy season came late this year, delayed by a month, but the mushrooms are growing quite well, and termite mushrooms have also sprouted at the same time.
In the early morning, as soon as the sky began to lighten, the villagers, carrying baskets and carrying hampers, would rush up the mountain like chickens and ducks being released from their coops.
The Qiao family didn't compete with the villagers; they let everyone earn the money.
The villagers were very touched and came directly to the Qiao family to give them mushrooms, refusing any payment.
If the Qiao family wanted to compete with everyone else, they could have ordered soldiers to go up the mountain to help them pick mushrooms, leaving no room for the rest of us.
A few days ago, Qiao Lian'er sent Mu Xinghe and Qiao Xi'er to the capital, arranged accommodations for them, and even hired a tutor for Mu Xinghe.
The autumn examinations will be held in less than a month.
After spending a few days in the capital and replenishing all the goods, Qiao Lian'er returned.
Now, the Qiao family has another medicinal herb shop in the capital, which supplies various pharmacies. Business is booming, and the prices are naturally much higher than those sold in Yuezhou.
The shop was registered under her own name, and she hired someone to manage it. Every day, Madam Lü would go and check the accounts.
Qiao Lian'er planned to go to the capital to start selling grain during the autumn harvest.
Her status has changed, but she still loves the old days.
Besides reading, formulating business strategies and training tactics, inspecting soldiers, establishing warehouses in key cities, and selecting personnel, she also liked to find pig feed to feed pigs and feed chickens and ducks with a feeding bowl.
These are all joys of life.
In addition to place names and transportation networks, Qiao Lian'er also had the space technology team develop an automatic expense reporting system.
The system uploads data from all the major sales outlets to establish physical connections. It automatically lists and tallies daily sales figures and expenditures, allowing her to identify honest sellers and those engaging in fraud, thus purging the team.
While feeding the chickens and ducks with scraps of rice and chaff, Qiao Lian'er checked the accounts generated in her spatial storage.
With the expansion of its business empire, it now earns more than 100,000 taels of silver every day.
This momentum is unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable.
That night, under a thin moonlight, Qiao Lian'er lay on a rattan chair in the courtyard to cool off. She smelled something burning, and the smell grew stronger and stronger, so she quickly got up.
I went to check the kitchen, and it was quiet inside. The other rooms were also fine, so it wasn't a problem with the Qiao family.
"Where's that burning smell coming from?" Qiao Lian'er asked everyone.
"I don't know, I smelled it too, it smells like burning wood." Qiao Dayong sniffed as he went out to look for it.
Then I saw villagers running by in a hurry, carrying buckets in their hands.
"What happened?" he asked.
"The Song family's house is on fire! Go put it out quickly!"
