But we can't make that thing either.
Okay, let's leave it at that. Let your older brother and the others handle it. You just keep an eye on things.
"If we want to make money, we just need to grow good potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then we can sell the seeds."
Originally, Chi Yu had hoped to make money in the cement business, but after his older sister's words, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Yeah, so what if we manage to get it done now?
Does building a house and then applying a layer of cement guarantee that it will be sturdy?
Which modern house wasn't built with reinforced concrete?
Feeling dejected, Chi Yu finally gave up the idea of messing around with the cement.
However, it was not completely eradicated.
In her opinion, now is not the right time, but what if it is the right time someday?
Because of this incident, Chi Yu stopped paying attention to the matter of building the convenience store.
Qin Mu arrived around the end of the Si hour (9-11 AM).
He was covered in sweat, and upon seeing Chen Kai helping out, he said directly:
"Ah Kai, people have already started delivering charcoal to the Chi family ancestral hall. You and Guo Da and the others drive the carriage there."
If all goes well, it should be installed before 1 PM.
I spoke with the clan chief, and this time, in addition to our five carriages, Chijia'ao will send five more carriages, with ten strong young men accompanying us.
Besides Amu's family having a mule cart, the clan chief and the two village chiefs each had an oxcart.
There was one left, which was the donkey cart belonging to Carpenter He.
"Go over there and keep an eye on things. Check how much charcoal there is in total, and settle half the payment upfront."
As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his chest and handed it over.
Shen Kai knew that the day would only get colder, and he needed to transport charcoal down the mountain, so he had to do it as early as possible.
Therefore, after Qin Mu finished speaking, he took the silver note, called over Guo Da and the others he had brought, and drove off in the carriage.
The last car was driven by Qin Mu himself.
When he returned, Chi Yu was cooking lunch with his two nieces-in-law.
"Miss Pond Fish!"
Hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, Qin Mu stood at the door and called out.
Before Chi Yu could speak, Liu Lingling said, "Auntie, Young Master Qin must have something to say to you."
The dishes are all prepared; my sister-in-law and I know how to cook them. Go quickly!
Chi Yu didn't stand on ceremony; she came out without even taking off her apron.
Qin Mu held a silver note in his hand and said to everyone he saw:
“Miss Chiyu, I did not bring any loose change with me this time.”
The ancestral hall needs to settle accounts, but they can't break these banknotes.
Is it convenient for you to exchange it here?
Chi Yu reached out and took the silver note. He saw that it was for one hundred taels and could be exchanged.
Remembering that she hadn't paid for her groceries yet, she stuffed the banknotes back into her hand.
"Brother Qin, how much silver did all those things you sent over cost in total?"
If you're busy now, you can tell me later.
As for the ancestral hall, I'll give you whatever amount of silver you need first.
"Wait a moment, when we settle the payment, we'll refund any overpayment and collect any underpayment."
Qin Mu wasn't trying to seduce someone innocent by showing off his wealth and refusing their money.
He knew that Chi Yu wasn't the kind of person who was easily swayed, but at the same time, he didn't want her to be.
Therefore, upon hearing this, he said directly, "Then give me sixty taels first."
Later, I'll ask Ah Kai to bring some things the general store needs next time he comes over.
Things like rice, flour, oil, salt, and some New Year's goods.
The specific amount of silver will be settled once Ah Kai returns.
