Chapter 88 Iron Rooster Industry

The two of them tacitly moved slowly around, one on the left and one on the right, very carefully, even breathing slowly.

Unfortunately, the pheasant did not give them time to surround it. It came out of the bushes and quickly flew away to another place without even stopping.

The two men chased after it for a long time before they caught it.

Jiang Wan had to pounce on the pheasant to crush it, and now that he had caught it, he quickly climbed up to avoid being crushed to death by her.

She grabbed the pheasant's wings, lifted it up and weighed it, smiling brightly.

"This pheasant weighs about three or four pounds. It's so fat!"

Qin Yue looked at Jiang Wan with admiration. Just now, the pheasant almost ran away, but Xiao Wan pounced out and caught it.

It was hard to imagine how much of a lady from a noble family Xiaowan had once been. Now she looked even more like a country girl than I did.

"Our backpack is still there. Let's go get it back first."

Jiang Wan was pulling weeds and tying up pheasants while talking to Qin Yue. When she looked up, she saw a few vines entangled on the trunk of a tree nearby.

She had good eyesight and could see at a glance that there were tiny thorns growing between the branches.

Although the thorns are not very dense, nor are they very long and large, they can still hurt.

Jiang Wan reached out to pry off the thorns on the vine, but after a few pricks, the thorns were still intact and didn't bend at all. Instead, she was pricked by a thorn on a nearby branch and shivered.

Okay, it’s your turn!

"Sister Qin, let's go! Let's go get the backpack!"

Today I finally made some progress in my search for vines, and I even caught a pheasant. My luck is pretty good.

The two of them came over with hoes and started digging up the vines. There was a big clump nearby, so Jiang Wan simply dug them all out.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them went down the mountain.

Qin Yue wanted to go directly to the ferry and go home, but Jiang Wan couldn't just let her go like that.

"You helped catch this pheasant. Why don't you go back without having a bite?"

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Qin Yue swallowed subconsciously.

She likes to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms the most, especially pheasant, it is so delicious...

"No, I won't eat it. You caught the pheasant. Xiaowan, I promised my father that I would be home before twilight hour. If I don't go back now, it will be too late. Then my mother will have a reason not to let me go out."

Qin Yue didn't want to leave either, but there was a maid waiting for her at the ferry, and her mother was also waiting for her at home, so it would be better for her to go back early.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and didn't try to keep him.

"You can go back now and wait for me to get you something."

Having said that, Jiang Wan ran back home and quickly came out with the things.

"This is an ointment made by my mother. It is very effective in removing blood stasis and relieving pain. Just apply it twice a day, morning and evening."

"Okay! I'll make a note of that."

Qin Yue happily took the porcelain bottle and returned to the ferry. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her host Xiaoyan and the boatman.

The few people did not dare to delay and quickly rowed the boat back to the city.

When Jiang Wan returned home this time, the wall of her house had been built to her waist. It looked like it would be completed by tomorrow.

It just so happens that I don’t have to go to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow, so I can go out with my aunt to the city to buy bricks.

Yin Huaixi didn't take it to heart when she heard her daughter discussing the matter with her. After all, the money was given to her daughter and it was up to her to decide how to spend it.

It’s good to raise children. You don’t have to take care of everything anymore. Instead, you can enjoy the arrangements made by the children. Hehe~

Jiang Wan got up early the next morning, and she and her aunt went to deliver the snail meat in sauce.

My aunt seems to have a talent for business. She has negotiated with a noodle shop for the snail meat, and they send about 20 kilograms of it every day.

Now I don't have to do anything, but I can get forty or fifty cents from my aunt every day, which is really comfortable.

"Wanwan, do you know where to buy green bricks in the city?"

"Yes, there is a brick kiln in the west of the city. We can just go there and buy it."

Jiang Wan went directly to ask the old village chief, this place must be reliable.

Because the brick kiln was a bit far away, she spent twenty cents to cover two round trips and went there with her aunt on a ox cart.

After swaying slowly for about two quarters of an hour, the ox cart finally stopped.

"The brick kiln has arrived!"

Jiang Wan looked around and saw a large flat dam on the roadside, surrounded by several large tiled houses connected together. There were also several kiln-like buildings next to it, and several large chimneys.

Although it is not built with blue bricks, it still looks very impressive.

Song Wenhui held Jiang Wan's little hand tightly, fearing that she would lose her in this strange place.

Just as the two were about to go in, four or five people suddenly came out from behind the big tiled house.

The former was dressed simply but had an extraordinary bearing, while the people behind him bowed slightly, obviously of lower status than that person.

Jiang Wan felt that he looked familiar, and after thinking carefully she realized that this was one of the three gentlemen she met when she first sold mint water.

What's his last name?

It seemed that he only heard Master Fu calling him Ah Xiao.

Is this his family's business?

Jiang Wan pulled her aunt and the two of them walked over together.

Qi Xiao recognized Jiang Wan at a glance. After all, he had spent a lot of money on her, but Fu Yuan Ling's guy actually defaulted on the bill.

How can I not remember such a huge loss vividly?

"You are the girl who sells sea urchins..."

Jiang Wan nodded and said with a smile on her face: "My name is Jiang Wan, are you the boss here? I want to buy some green bricks."

"You? Buying green bricks?"

Qi Xiao looked the two of them up and down, and it didn't look like they could afford blue bricks.

"How much do you want?"

Jiang Wan almost couldn't hold back her smile.

"We want to buy some bricks to build a stove house, about one or two thousand bricks."

When Qi Xiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

One or two thousand bricks would cost several taels of silver, so this transaction is not a small one.

He smiled, a rare occurrence, and turned around and waved to a big man behind him.

"Qian Fu, treat this lady well and choose the bricks carefully, don't ruin your reputation."

Qian Fu responded and immediately took Jiang Wan and the others to see the bricks and discuss the specific quantity.

Since Jiang Wan knew his young master, Qian Fu introduced her very attentively. He also considerately told her about the upcoming price increase of green bricks.

At present it is three cents a piece, but it will be four cents a piece after the brick kiln is reorganized.

Jiang Wan smacked her lips. The price of one yuan increased by one cent, so she would have to pay an extra 1 or 2 taels of silver for a thousand yuan. She should buy more while the price is still there. Even if she can't use it all now, she will have to build her mother's clinic later.

So she originally wanted to order one or two thousand bricks, but ended up ordering four thousand.

The deposit is four taels of silver, and the two thousand bricks in stock can be delivered to Lianjiagou as soon as possible. The remaining two thousand bricks will have to wait seven or eight days.

This is no problem for Jiang Wan. In seven or eight days, she can still save some money from oyster sauce to pay the bill.

After seeing Jiang Wan and the other two off, Qian Fu happily went to find the young master with the engagement contract.

"Huh?! You're selling 4,000 bricks for only 3 cents a piece?!"

Qi Xiao covered his chest, feeling unable to breathe.

"Young Master, aren't we raising the price after we've sorted things out?"

Qian Fu felt that he was quite wronged.

Qi Xiao: “…”

Sure enough, not everyone can be a dishonest businessman.

The best arrangement is to take over the brick kiln yourself!
