Five hundred taels of silver made Yue Jiuyue rich overnight!
Five thousand taels of silver made Yue Jiuyue rich overnight!
Yue Jiuyue has already become rich twice!
Even though the second time the silver was ten times that of the first time, Yue Jiuyue was only slightly excited when she first heard it, and then she remained very calm.
It's only five thousand taels of silver. If she weren't afraid of being exposed, she could earn more than that in a day.
This is the confidence that the cheat code gave her.
However, for Yue Jiuyue, receiving such a reward without having to do anything was almost like a pie falling from the sky, a pleasant surprise. After all, the things she sent to the capital were only worth a hundred or two taels of silver, and she didn't even have to pay for postage.
Free shipping! You deserve it!
The next day, Lin Chaobei led a group of people to Guangshan Town to deliver lotus roots to the clinic, while Yue Jiuyue, carrying an empty basket, went to another neighboring town, Zitong Town, sold a basket of lotus roots to a restaurant, and received a stack of red contracts before returning home.
Although none of her courtyards or shops have been rented out yet, she firmly believes that her landlady career will one day be a success!
The houses on the mountain were finally all completed in the early winter days. Most of the houses were courtyard houses, a few were two-courtyard houses, and there were two three-courtyard houses. Yue Jiuyue lived in one house, and the other house was reserved to see if anyone would come to visit and rent it out in the future.
There are no courtyards with more than four sections. It's not that the space isn't big enough, but rather that Yue Jiuyue didn't intend to build one. After all, this is just a remote rural area, and the scenery isn't particularly unique. Yue Jiuyue doesn't think this place will become a wildly popular tourist attraction, so there's no need to make it too fancy.
The bricklayers then went to the towns to renovate shops and repair houses. Because they didn't have to start from scratch, they were very efficient. Before the first snow of winter fell, all the shops in the three towns were renovated and all the houses were repaired, so Yue Jiuyue could rent them out at any time.
Just before the first snow fell, Village Chief Lin approached Yue Jiuyue to discuss renting a shop. They all followed Yue Jiuyue's lead, and when they learned that Yue Jiuyue wanted to open a shop to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the winter, everyone in the village was interested.
"Rent any shop you like, and don't just think about selling roasted sweet potatoes. You can put things from home in the shop to sell, like millet, cabbage, radishes, willow baskets, etc. Anyway, you only need one oven to roast sweet potatoes, it doesn't take up much space."
Yue Jiuyue casually reminded her that even without her special ability, the five thousand taels of silver she had was enough for her to live on for a lifetime, so it didn't matter whether she made money or not, and she didn't need to compete with the villagers for ways to make money.
Moreover, they are all from the same family with the same surname and ancestors. After the natural disaster, there are only about ten households left, with a total of about a hundred people. In Huandong Town, this is still considered a fairly large village, considering that there are several empty villages.
With such a small group of people, there's hardly any trouble between them. Each family is too busy living their own lives behind closed doors to care about other people's trivial matters. At most, they might grumble a few words, but only when things get serious will Village Chief Lin step in.
People don't even dare to casually mention Yue Jiuyue's family anymore. They've heard that criticizing people of high rank is a crime, and what if they get arrested?
Because of the villagers' concerns, Yue Jiuyue's life became increasingly comfortable. No one spoke to her in a sarcastic or inappropriate manner anymore. Although she was no longer as reserved and polite as when meeting officials or the county magistrate, she was still courteous and seemed somewhat distant. This was Yue Jiuyue's most comfortable state.
She wasn't the kind of social butterfly who could easily mingle with people, nor was she a normal person who could easily become familiar with others. Her social circle was extremely small, and she didn't even contact her friends unless there was a reason, so she gradually lost her friends.
Lone Ranger.
Now, her social circle is quite large. She has seven family members alone, though one is unknown whether he's still alive, and another is a toddler who can't speak yet. Then there are a dozen or so servants, a persistent fortune teller named Huang who she can't get rid of, the person she contacts most in the village is Village Chief Lin, her relationship with the villagers is now lukewarm, she's acquainted with Magistrate Tang, and she's become familiar with the ladies and young women of the county town. She even knows two eunuchs from the capital city…
Suddenly I felt so amazing about myself!
Yue Jiuyue's soul wandered to the heavens, completely forgetting that the village chief was still standing in front of her.
Seeing that Yue Jiuyue was lost in thought, the village chief coughed twice to remind her, and then repeated what he had said.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law! Where are the shops you bought located?"
"Ah? Oh! I'll have the third and fourth brothers take you to town to take a look. I've also bought a few shops in the neighboring towns of Guangshan and Zitong, and renovated them a bit. Once you've decided which shop you want to rent, we can sign the contract. The price is negotiable."
Since we're all from the same village, Yue Jiuyue will definitely offer a discount. After all, we're all family. If everyone's lives improve, the atmosphere in the village will be better, and people won't keep focusing on her.
She doesn't like living under the spotlight; she prefers to live her own quiet life behind closed doors.
If everyone's lives are good, although hers will be even better, it won't inspire envy or jealousy. Besides, everyone will be busy working hard for their own future, so they won't have time to think about her!
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely pass on their message. Thank you on their behalf! I wonder when the third and fourth brothers will be free? We can't wait, haha!"
If you're not proactive in making money, there's something wrong with your mindset!
After learning that Yue Jiuyue's family had already sent the oven to the shop in town, the villagers couldn't wait any longer, which led to Village Chief Lin talking to Yue Jiuyue today.
"Let's wait for them to come back. But never mind, we don't even know if they'll be back today. Here's what we'll do: if you see this mountain and two trees symbol on the door frame of a shop, that's a shop my family bought. As long as it's closed, you can rent it out."
As Yue Jiuyue spoke, she drew an "m"-shaped mountain on the ground with a twig, with two simple trees on the mountain. The "m" represents the hill and the two trees represent the forest.
"The picture of the two trees on the mountain, right? I've got it! Then I won't waste any more time, I'll take them to choose a shop right now!"
Village Chief Lin remembered the symbols Yue Jiuyue drew and left without waiting.
