Those who start doing it right away will always try again, even if they fail this time.
Just like many people who start a business, they don’t know if they will succeed in one go. They fail countless times and gain experience and lessons before they succeed.
If you want to change their lives, you must first change their minds.
For now, let’s start with the small matter of raising chickens and ducks. At least the consequences are within their ability to bear.
After the two sisters-in-law decided to raise pigs, they immediately gave Chaoge one or two taels of silver each. They refused to let Chaoge pay for the capital no matter what.
Chaoge refused, turned around and went back.
More than one or two taels of silver was not even enough to pay for her entrance fee to Xiying Province. She didn't care at all, but for them, it was a huge sum of money.
But the two sisters-in-law were also determined to get what they wanted and chased him straight to the doorstep.
"Little pigeon, you are a great favor to us for giving us some advice on this business. If you don't want this silver, I will give it to your father."
Qiu took Chaoge's hand and stuffed the silver into her hand.
"Yes, otherwise we won't raise it.
You said that your uncle and his wife and I don't have the money, so why don't you pay for it? It's not like we can't afford it. What do you mean by this?"
Things had come to this point, so Chaoge simply accepted it.
But they each got their change, and the matter was settled.
“The chickens and ducks are still small, so the fence must be woven with thin strips and without leaving too big gaps.
Besides, the fence needs to be raised in the future, for fear that the chickens will fly out and never come back."
Chaoge gave a few more suggestions, and the two sisters-in-law wrote them down one by one. They did not dare to delay, and while there were still a few hours before dark, they called everyone in the family who was free and hurried to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo.
I don’t know what the three Yunchang brothers were busy with regarding building the house. Dinner was ready and it was already dark but they still hadn’t come back.
However, Xia Rong and her daughter, who had gone up the mountain early in the morning, dragged their tired bodies, carrying a backpack and a hoe, and pushed open the gate in a panic.
As soon as they came in, they smelled the fragrance on the dining table: rich crucian carp soup, braised pork ribs, winter melon soup, and white rice, all of which were Yun Chaoyu's cooking.
Chaoge didn't cook today, and she didn't plan to cook for a while. She was afraid that one of the two people was her best friend, so she didn't dare to test it rashly, for fear that she would expose herself before she could test her best friend.
"Big sister, now that you're back, our family will have delicious food and drinks every day!
This, this actually includes white rice, pork ribs, and fish soup!
Oh my god, I haven’t had it in years.”
Having said that, the shameless Xia Xueqin didn't even wash her hands and reached out to grab the ribs from the plate!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand was stretched out, it was slapped away by Yun Chaoyu without mercy!
“If you want to eat, make it yourself!
When you and your daughter bought the roast chicken and brought it back to eat, you ate it with gusto in front of me and even showed off on purpose. Why didn't you give me the butt of the chicken to eat?"
Now that Chaoyu had spoken, Chaoge was too lazy to talk any more.
She sat at the dining table and looked calmly at Xia Rong who walked in across the threshold.
They really look alike. No matter what, these two troublemakers must be kicked out of the house as soon as possible. She will have someone try it tomorrow.
"Huh, how could that be possible?
Stop slandering me. Where do we get the money to buy roast chicken?
Chaoyu, don't go too far. We are a family now. If you don't give me and my mother food, aren't you afraid that the villagers' spit will drown you?"
"I'm not afraid. I don't care about my reputation."
Yun Chaoyu said coldly, while reaching out to protect the dishes on the table, just to prevent Xia Xueqin from having a chance to succeed.
"It seems that Dad won't be back so soon, let's eat.
If you want to eat, you can go to the kitchen and cook it yourself. There are also some vegetables and grains.
Don’t say I’m being harsh on you.”
Seeing that Yunchang had not returned yet, Chaoge, who was pregnant, could not bear the hunger anymore, so she spoke.
"Xiaoqin, stop making trouble. Even if they don't like us, we still have ambitions. Just do it yourself. You're tired after a day. Eat early and go to bed. Don't you have things to do tomorrow?"
Xia Rong spoke up. Although she was envious of the food on the table, she didn't want it!
Tomorrow, just tomorrow she will become rich!
When the time comes, it will be their turn to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!
Xia Xueqin snorted coldly at the two sisters and followed Xia Rong to the kitchen!
"Mom, this, this only has winter melon and beans, and it's also mixed grains, why do we have to eat this?
I want to eat meat, spare ribs, fish soup, and I also want white rice!
The rice grains in their bowls are all very fine, and you can tell at a glance that they are top-quality rice!"
"Can you beat that damn girl Chaoyu?
You have suffered losses before, so don't make mistakes again.
Come on, just eat a few and go to bed, don't forget our plan for tomorrow."
After hearing what Xia Rong said, Xia Xueqin stopped being angry and obediently started to light a fire and cook.
Chaoge ate his meal and retracted his wood-related skills.
She was looking forward to the mother-daughter duo's plans tomorrow.
"Eat more and go to bed early at night. Don't forget the jumping moves I taught you before going to bed."
Chaoyu nodded obediently: "What a pity, it's rare that we can eat so well, but daddy hasn't come back yet.
Look, I don’t know what kind of family that mother and daughter were before. They really can’t even cook.”
Chaoge remembered that although her best friend couldn't cook and the dishes she cooked were terrible, her family ran a noodle shop and her best friend was very good at making noodles.
What a pity, I forgot to buy flour today, otherwise I would have put some flour outside and maybe I would have known whether she could make it.
The sisters ate up all the food on the table, not even leaving any for Yunchang. Anyway, when Yunchang came back, Chaoge planned to cook him a bowl of egg noodles with the noodles in the space, but she would never let her enemy get something for himself.
After they washed up, they lay on the bed. Outside, the mother and daughter had almost finished cleaning up and came into the house carrying their gains for the day.
Chaoge's wood skills continued to be activated, and the two of them took out a lot of plants from the backpacks, all of which were herbs!
The more Chaoge looked, the more excited he became, and the certainty in his heart became even stronger.
Back then, during the winter and summer vacations, her best friend went back to her grandmother's home in the countryside with her to play. She took her to pick herbs and told her that those herbs were more valuable.
However, the country folks of that era only knew the most common herbs for the household, and had no idea about the herbs with real medicinal value.
But today, all the herbs in Xia Rong's backpack are things that ordinary people don't even recognize.
"Mom, is this really ginseng?
After selling this ginseng, can you buy me a jade pendant? I want an ink-colored one!"
Black jade?!
Xia Xueqin's words made Chaoge involuntarily touch the black jade on his chest, and his brows gradually furrowed.
