Chapter 131 It's cold, so the wine sells faster (2/2)



Besides what we use ourselves, we also need to save some for the villagers to buy.

Zhuangzhuang's diapers are easy to solve. We can find some old clothes that your brother and his family don't want anymore, wash them, sew them up, and they'll be usable.

If we had known it would refresh, we should have moved all the blankets and stuff out beforehand.

With this refresh, we can have a few more blankets to use.

Our quilts are all made of long-staple cotton, which is better than the cotton used for making padded jackets these days.

It's a pity we don't have cotton seeds or silkworms, otherwise we could raise silkworms and grow cotton ourselves..."

When Chi Yu heard what her sister said, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Sister, stop! Just planting vegetables and grains in the fields is already busy enough."

What are you still thinking about, cotton and silkworm farming?

Who do you plan to do these things?

The land outside now totals forty-odd acres, not including the so-called pasture.

With so much land now, relying solely on my older brother and Ah Kang in terms of manpower alone...

Fortunately, instead of insects, weeds have grown; otherwise, even if the two of them spent day and night in the fields, they still wouldn't be able to finish.

Chi Qiao was just talking whatever came to mind, without thinking too much about it.

Hearing Chi Yu's words, she stood up, rubbed her aching lower back, and said as she walked towards the bathroom:

"I'm so tired. I might have been delirious from the fever earlier, and I was speaking without thinking."

I'm going to wash up and go to sleep first. Maybe my IQ will come back when I wake up.

Goodnight, little fish, go to sleep early!

Chi Yu: "...Goodnight, sister!"

It seems that at this moment, besides saying goodnight, she doesn't know what else to say.

The next morning, after feeding the child and changing his diaper, Chi Yu left the space with her sister.

The kang (heated brick bed) inside the house had been extinguished since it hadn't been lit all night, and the room was now ice cold.

The two sisters suddenly came out and immediately started shivering from the cold.

After a night's rest, and after waking up early in the morning and taking a warm bath, Chi Qiao is now almost fully recovered.

Seeing how cold the house was, almost covered in frost, she quickly used thatch to light the firewood.

"Little Fish, go find your older brother to eat first. It's too cold here, so I'll light a fire first. Come back when it's warmer."

"Okay, then I'll go out first. It's so cold inside, it must be even colder outside, so please take care of yourself."

If you can't make it here, stay here and warm yourself by the fire. I'll be back in a bit.

A few days ago, everyone in the clan came to buy things, and each of them bought quite a lot.

Business has been so-so these past few days. People only come here occasionally to buy things that no one else has bought yet.

Or I could just close the shop and stay inside.

If anyone wants to buy something, just call out outside the door, and I'll come over then.

Chi Qiao ignored her, saying, "You can decide for yourself. Anyway, we're the only shop in Chijia'ao right now, so they don't have any other choice."

Besides, our products aren't expensive; they cost about the same as what other grocery stores in the county sell for.

They don't need anything now, so let's close it. We can reopen it when they need it and come to buy it.

The Lunar New Year is just two weeks away, and they'll definitely want to buy the firecrackers, red paper, incense, candles, and paper money from our shop.

Besides, it's so cold today, and everyone needs to keep warm, so the wine will sell out faster.

Chi Yu didn't say anything more, just nodded and left.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw her older brother shoveling snow.

The snow on the tarpaulin shed in the yard had all been cleared off.

Before she could even speak, Chi Dahu said, "Xiaoyu, Wu Yong came over earlier and said he wanted a jar of wine."
