Chapter 90 New Ways to Make Money
Jiang Tangtang calculated the days and found that there were still more than twenty days until the Chinese New Year, while the strawberry ripening period was thirty days.
If you take into account the special effects of the Spiritual Spring...
It would be fine to sell a batch of strawberries before the New Year so that the Xia family can see the hope of making money.
Jiang Tangtang said: "If there are no accidents, it should be okay!"
After receiving Jiang Tangtang's assurance, Xia Zhirong said happily, "There will definitely be no more accidents. I will watch carefully this time."
Jiang Tangtang said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Even if you can't make money this year, you can still make money next year. Besides, the scale of wild berry cultivation is small now. Even if the price is high, the small quantity won't make much money. If you want to make a lot of money, I think you still need to expand the scale of cultivation."
Xia Zhirong thought carefully about Jiang Tangtang's words and felt that she was right. "But there are only so many seedlings. Even if I want to plant more, there's no way!"
"Don't worry about that. I've found a way to breed wild berries. We can plant them in large quantities once the weather warms up a bit."
"Then I'll take care of two plots of land first, and when spring comes, I'll ask you to give me some seedlings to plant."
As Xia Zhirong spoke, he began to think about where to grow strawberries.
Although the Xia family had a lot of land, they had already planned what to plant on each plot. After much deliberation, Xia Zhirong decided that it would be more cost-effective to reclaim the land.
It just so happened that the new iron plow had arrived home, and Xia Zhirong got busy after selecting the land to be reclaimed.
When Zhao Jia saw her husband tending the wasteland again, she thought he was helping the Lu family reclaim the land again and she was immediately furious.
She went to find Jiang Tangtang angrily. She had a lot of dirty words in mind, but when she met those clear eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say any curse words. In the end, she felt a little ashamed.
She touched her rough face and couldn't help thinking, if she were a man, wouldn't she be moved when seeing such a beautiful woman?
Jiang Tangtang saw Zhao walking towards her with an angry face. She thought that there would be another battle today, but she didn't expect that she would stare at her angrily for a while, and suddenly sat on the ground and started crying.
"Mrs. Xia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Tangtang was at a loss as to what to do. Comforting people was not her forte! This was even more difficult than scolding her.
Besides, they are all adults. Shouldn't adults' sadness and sorrow be suppressed? Why didn't Zhao play by the rules?
Zhao Jia originally thought that crying in front of the enemy was embarrassing enough, but she didn't expect that the enemy would actually comfort her gently.
Think about it, between a fierce, yellow-faced woman and a gentle and lovely beauty, who does a man prefer?
The more Zhao Jia thought about it, the sadder she became, and she cried even harder.
Jiang Tangtang held her forehead with her hand, "Sister Xia, don't cry! If you do this...it's easy for people to misunderstand that I bullied you."
If she hadn't been sure that he didn't have that thing, she would have suspected that he had done something immoral to her!
"Sister Jiang, why are you so beautiful? And you are so gentle, woooo... You are so good! Everyone likes you! But you have such good conditions, what kind of man can you want... You don't want..." Zhao cried breathlessly, speaking incoherently.
Jiang Tangtang didn't hear some of it clearly, but she understood that Zhao might have misunderstood.
I originally wanted to scold her, but for some reason I didn't scold her in the end. Instead, I started crying.
She was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister Xia, don't say that. You haven't seen my old self. I used to be dark and fat, and people called me ugly!"
Zhao Jia stopped crying and looked at Jiang Tangtang in disbelief, "How is this possible? You look so beautiful now!"
Jiang Tangtang laughed and said, "Why would I lie to you? It's no secret that I used to be fat and ugly. You can just ask a few of the people who came from Beijing with us and you'll know."
"Then how did you become like this?" Zhao Jia asked in surprise, "How did you become so beautiful?"
"What else can I do? Of course I should lose weight and work hard to become more beautiful!"
Jiang Tangtang looked at Zhao Jia's face and said seriously, "Sister Xia, you actually have pretty good features. Look at how big your eyes are, and you have bags under your eyes. But you don't usually pay attention to sun protection, so you have small spots on your face, and you don't clean properly, so you have blackheads on your nose. As long as you improve your skin problems, you will definitely be a great beauty!"
"What is sunscreen? What are blackheads?" Zhao Jia had never heard of the terms sunscreen and blackheads. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, he had been a noble in the capital, so he knew so much.
"Exposing ourselves to the sun is harmful to our skin. It not only makes it darker, but also creates sun spots. If we don't clean our face properly, the oil on our face will clog our pores, which can lead to blackheads."
Jiang Tangtang asked, "How do you usually wash your face? And how do you take care of your skin after washing?"
Zhao Jia said, "You're just washing your face with a handkerchief. Can you really expect anything special from washing your face?"
"Of course not. Let me tell you, washing your face is a science." Jiang Tangtang went on to teach Zhao Jia all kinds of modern beauty and makeup knowledge.
Half an hour later, Zhao Jia saw that Jiang Tangtang looked like an immortal, his eyes full of admiring little stars.
"Sister Xia, wait a minute. I'll give you a portion of what I usually use."
Jiang Tangtang returned home, found a deserted place, and hid in the space.
First, take out a piece of facial soap, cut off the part without the trademark, and wrap it with wax paper.
She then filled a porcelain bottle with the spiritual spring water from the space, added a drop of perfume, and sealed it with a stopper. She then picked through her skincare products and chose a bottle of unscented face cream, which she then portioned out and filled the porcelain jar.
Carrying a few things, Jiang Tangtang hurried to find Zhao Jia.
She took out a few things, explained their usage to her one by one, and said, "Use these first. I'll go to the mountains to pick some herbs in a few days and make some beauty masks for you. I guarantee that your skin will be so soft that you can squeeze out water in the future."
Zhao Jia's eyes were red as he took the gift from Jiang Tangtang. He felt ashamed for having secretly hated her in his heart before. "I'm sorry, Jiang sister, you're so kind, and I... I really can't face you."
"Sister-in-law Xia, please don't say that. We weren't familiar with each other before, so it's normal for there to be some misunderstandings. But as long as we talk things out and resolve them, everything will be fine. The worst thing is to keep things to ourselves, and eventually the misunderstanding will deepen, causing irreparable damage to both parties."
Jiang Tangtang thought Zhao’s personality was quite cute and she really wanted to get along with her.
And although she was trying to enlighten Zhao today, she also gained something from it.
Through what happened with Zhao Jia today, she actually had a new idea for making money.
