The day after tomorrow, Ye Caiping will officially deliver goods to the other two restaurants and Fatty. She went to town to purchase the goods the next day.
I bought 100 jin (50 kg) of wood ear mushrooms, daylily buds, and other vegetables at once, and also bought two large iron pots, the kind that can make a big bucket of food at a time.
Fortunately, a large kitchen was specially built when the house was constructed; otherwise, with today's workload, it would be impossible to move around.
At this moment, Ye Peng and Yin Hua each carried a bundle of firewood in. Ye Caiping went over and gave them 12 coins.
Ye Peng was taken aback: "Why did my aunt give me money?"
Ye Caiping said, "From now on, I will need 6 bundles of firewood a day, and each bundle costs 2 coins, so I will give you 12 coins."
Ye Peng was stunned, and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, Grandma will beat me to death. How can you charge money for firewood at home?"
“We use firewood together at home, but making hot and sour soup is a business. Two buckets of soup require a bundle of firewood, so this is a fuel cost that should be paid.”
Otherwise, two children carrying two bundles of firewood a day would be enough for the family.
Now that I've started a hot and sour soup business, I use eight bundles a day. I work myself to the bone, and it's still not enough to cover the cost of the hot and sour soup.
Old Man Ye was free at the moment, smoking a water pipe at the entrance of the main room: "Your aunt gave it to you, so just accept it."
He also learned this when Ye Caiping paid Daquan and Erquan their wages.
Some things require a clear distinction between public and private matters. You have to ask for your wages when you're owed them, otherwise things will get messy and unclear.
Ye Peng and Yin Hua were delighted, but the next moment, Ye Peng frowned: "But we can't collect 6 bundles a day."
Yinhua said, "We need to catch grasshoppers in the morning, otherwise the chicks will go hungry. We also need to catch grasshoppers when we see them while chopping firewood."
Ye Caiping laughed and said, "Yinhua, go ask your sister, Yong'er, and Xuan'er if they have time to chop firewood."
Yinhua dashed out in a flash, while Ye Yong and Ye Xuan were weeding in the field.
Before long, Yinhua returned: "My eldest and second brothers said they won't cut any more, and my sister won't cut any either. She only cares about the chicks. Besides cooking and washing clothes, she's always catching insects and catching grasshoppers."
"Then go find Ye Xing and Ye Wang. If they're not available, find someone else. Anyway, I need 6 bundles a day, so you can distribute these 12 coins."
Yinhua felt trusted, smiled sweetly, agreed, and ran out.
A short while later, Ye Xing and Ye Wang returned with Yin Hua, each carrying a bundle of firewood on their backs.
Ye Peng felt a sense of novelty and pride, thinking he was like a big manager, giving each person two coins.
Ye Caiping then thought of the two boxes of pastries that Manager Chi had given her yesterday: one box of peanut brittle and the other of osmanthus brittle.
Ye Caiping then gave the box of peanut brittle to Ye Xing and his brother: "Take it home for your grandparents."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The two brothers' eyes lit up, and then Peanut Brittle couldn't wait to leave.
Yinhua watched longingly.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "There's more. I was too busy yesterday and forgot. Here are two pieces for you to try."
Yinhua swallowed hard: "My eldest and second brothers are still in the fields. We'll all eat together after dinner."
"Okay." Ye Caiping patted her head. Yinhua was really well-behaved.
...
The next day, Ye Caiping and Grandma Ye got up early, and their lives began a new routine.
After Ye Erquan delivered the goods, he could come back with the money immediately.
Ye Caiping had agreed with the three restaurants and Fatty Sister that the payment method would be cash on delivery, with the money settled on the spot.
In just two days, Ye Caiping earned 10 taels and 2 qian. This was just the beginning; from then on, she would have a steady stream of wealth.
Adding what I earned from setting up a stall a few days ago, I have a total of 18 taels in my hands.
Ye Caiping opened the system panel, and the long-lost mechanical sound rang out:
[Host, you're back! To gain trading privileges, please upgrade your space.]
Ye Caiping nodded slightly and immediately pressed the upgrade button.
[Upgrading the space will cost 10 taels. Host, do you wish to upgrade?]
Ye Caiping pressed the "Yes" button.
[Space is upgrading, 1% 2%... 100%. Congratulations, host, upgrade successful! Storage space has increased tenfold to 1 cubic meter. Transaction limit: 3 times, maximum 20 taels.]
Ye Caiping said, "Being a host really makes a difference; they actually told me the number of transactions."
The host has the right to know.
Ye Caiping's eyes widened: "It can actually answer!"
But the system didn't respond again, and Ye Caiping understood. This system wasn't fully intelligent; it was a trigger-based NPC that would only respond when asked for the keywords that needed explanation.
Ye Caiping then said, "That's not right. I traded four times before I upgraded, but now that I've upgraded, I've only traded three times?"
[This system only allows for 3 transactions after each upgrade. When the host is still a customer, the extra transaction is a trial.]
Ye Caiping frowned: "That's true, but your transaction limit of only 20 taels is too stingy."
[20 taels isn't stingy. This system exists to provide more security for the host's idyllic life, not to allow the host to buy and sell, or to coast along and do nothing.]
Ye Caiping's lips twitched slightly. This system wasn't very clever; it was full of loopholes!
Even with only 20 taels, you can still make a fortune by buying and selling.
For example, you can buy a ginseng root from the mountain for 10 taels in the system and then resell it for 200 taels outside.
In the book, Li Jiaojiao relied on this method to sell two ginseng roots every month, earning 400 taels of silver, and then lazed around at home all day, just waiting to die.
Later, she married the regent, the duchess, and a legendary healer...
Throughout the entire article, there is no mention of her planting a single blade of grass or earning a single penny on her own.
I've been digging cassava for so long, working from dawn till dusk at my stall.
Why not take advantage of this 20 taels quota and 3 transaction opportunities?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Caiping revealed a mischievous smile and clicked on the page.
