Chapter 84: Money Making Team (Part 2)
When Jiang heard that Wu Lang and Li Hua had actually butted heads, she was both angry and amused, and didn't know what to say:
"You're so grown up, why are you so unstable? Lihua, I have to punish you for this."
"Mom, Lihua didn't mean it." Lihua pouted, her voice a little low.
Wu Lang quickly stepped forward and tried to take the blame: "Yes, mother, this is clearly my fault. I accidentally bumped into Lihua, if you want to punish someone, you should punish me!"
Xia Daohua started to act cute, blinking her big eyes, looking at Jiang innocently, and stretched out her hand to pull Jiang's sleeve and act coquettishly:
"Mom, it hurts so much to be hit, but I still have to be punished. Isn't that too much?"
Jiang was so annoyed by the children that she just scolded Lihua a few words and left it alone. When she heard that Wu had come to see her but didn't say anything, Jiang went to the third room in confusion.
It turned out that Wu didn't come to see Jiang just to chat.
Mrs. Wu went back to her parents' home a few days ago. There was a neighbor in her parents' village who had a good relationship with her and wanted to find a wife for their son, but after talking to several families, it still didn't work out.
That family had very high standards and always felt that their son was perfect in every way, so they had to have a daughter-in-law who was perfect in all aspects to be worthy of him.
When Wu returned to her parents' home, her family naturally talked about this matter.
Originally, Wu's family treated this as a joke, but Wu took it to heart.
She felt that if one had to have all four corners, pear blossoms should be one of them.
In Wu's eyes, Lihua had to be good-looking, had good character, was hardworking, and was gentle...Lihua was indeed a bit strong-willed.
But if you want to set up your own household and live your life, you have to be tough or you will be bullied to death, right?
Our neighbor, Mr. Dai’s family, has a really good tradition. The father is kind and the son is filial, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, and the whole family is quite reliable.
Wu had also met Old Dai's son.
The child's appearance was also very outstanding. Perhaps it was because of this that he looked down on the young ladies from ordinary farm families who were tanned, had rough skin and thick flesh.
The child grew up under Wu's care. Apart from being a little picky and having high standards, he didn't have any bad habits.
The more Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good marriage, and she was happy to act as a matchmaker.
If my fourth brother’s wife is also interested, we can meet each other first.
If both parties like each other, they can go find a matchmaker and go through the formalities. If not, just pretend it never happened.
This way it’s cheaper on both sides.
"Fourth brother's wife, what do you think of this marriage? Is it worth a try?"
Jiang was somewhat moved, yet somewhat hesitant:
"Third sister-in-law, I can't make the final decision on this matter alone. I have to discuss it with your fourth brother!"
"I didn't say you can't discuss it! I'm asking what you think of it yourself! What do you think of this child? What do you think of this marriage? Or do you have any other plans for Lihua's future?"
"I know Third Sister-in-law's character. Since she is willing to tell me, this marriage must be right.
Since my third sister-in-law likes this child, then this child must be a good one.
This family is naturally a good family.
I don't have any plans for Lihua.
But I really don't want her to get married too early and become someone else's daughter-in-law, so I always want to keep her for a few more years."
Wu smiled cheerfully:
"Okay. I'll ask Uncle Dai later if his family is willing to settle down first and get married a few years later. If they are willing, we can arrange the matchmaking."
Jiang didn't expect Wu to be so straightforward, so she could only thank her gratefully.
Wu smiled and said:
"Fourth sister-in-law, even though we have separated, we are still a family. Why are you being so polite to me?
By the way, let me be frank. If this doesn’t work out, it’s just because the two children are not meant to be together. Don’t blame me, my fourth brother and his wife!”
"What did Third Sister-in-law say? Am I that kind of person?"
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister-in-law. The Dai family is honest and loyal. Even if they are not satisfied after the meeting, or the marriage fails, they know their limits and will definitely not damage Lihua's reputation."
Jiang nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, Third Sister-in-law, how can the person you recommend have bad character? I trust you. But before I tell your Fourth Brother, I dare not make the decision."
Wu smiled and said, "You! You! Well, you can discuss it with Fourth Brother first. When you have finished discussing it, just let me know. I will arrange the rest."
Jiang thanked him again, said goodbye in a hurry, and returned to the fourth room.
Because she was preoccupied, she didn't notice at all that a few children were sneaking around and playing tricks right in front of her.
Xia Daohua decided to set up a stall at the market starting from the next big market.
Of course, if Xia Daohua went to set up the stall alone, the fourth roommate and his wife would never agree.
It won't work even if Goro and Rika join in.
Erlang's legs and feet were not fully recovered yet. Xia Daohua didn't want him to get any injuries, so she firmly rejected Erlang's request to force himself to go to the market and set up a stall with Xia Daohua.
Therefore, Xia Daohua decided to save the country in a roundabout way.
Unable to resist the children's nagging day after day, Xia Youtian finally brought Lihua, Wulang, Xia Daohua, and Linghua, the clingy little brats, with him when he went to the market to sell wicker baskets, bamboo baskets and embroidery products again.
The children strolled around the market and then went their separate ways according to the division of labor that had been agreed upon in advance.
Half a day later, everyone gathered not far from Xia Youtian's stall and summarized their experiences. Then Xia Daohua made a decision: "It seems to be similar to what we expected. Let's do it!"
Apart from the occasional extra income earned from "digging" ginseng or "hunting" prey, their first serious business started with the easiest food.
The first project that Xia Daohua and his team worked on was bamboo tube rice.
The reason for choosing this is that bamboo, an important raw material for bamboo tube rice, is very easy to obtain.
There are some on the mountain, and there is also a wild bamboo forest to the north of the village.
As for white rice, there was plenty of it in Xia Daohua's space supermarket, and it was of excellent quality. It was cheap and white, and better looking than any other kind of white rice in this space and time.
It can also be easily bought in grain and oil shops.
Moreover, the bamboo tube rice is easy to make and the failure rate is very low. Even if you accidentally make a mistake, the loss will not be too great.
The first batch of bamboo tube rice sold by Xia Daohua was actually the finished product sold in the Space Supermarket.
You can test the waters and see how the market responds. If no one is interested, you can easily return it to the supermarket or put it in the storage area and eat it slowly.
However, the children all thought that she had prepared it secretly on her own.
I was in awe and moved, yet completely puzzled - the rice flowers were with everyone most of the time, from morning to night!
How did she manage to make so many preparations secretly without anyone knowing?
I am very tired today, the next chapter will be very late, everyone go to sleep first and read it tomorrow. I will send a warning later. Good night, (づ￣ 3￣)づ!
