Chapter 114 Becoming a Rich Generation
“Crackle…”
Firecrackers exploded.
The dogs in the village were barking non-stop.
A group of children were dancing the rope in front of Jiang Miaomiao's house.
Jiang Miaomiao wanted to play, but she hadn't learned the skill yet.
People first learn to sit, crawl, walk, run, and then jump.
However, she can only walk now, and not very smoothly.
If you use too much force, you will fall forward.
The little baby sat on a small stool at the door, swinging his legs and gnawing on chicken feet.
There is little meat on the chicken feet, which makes them tough to chew, but they are fragrant.
This was specially left for her by her mother, who said that chicken feet wouldn't get stuck in her teeth.
Actually, I was afraid that she would become a meat ball after eating it...
People come and go at the door.
They all came with gifts.
Jiang Miaomiao moved to a new house today, from her scumbag father's thatched cottage to the big blue brick and tile house next door.
It's a two-entry courtyard.
A housewarming party was held and the whole village was invited to the feast.
Invitations were also sent to Mr. Cui, County Magistrate Xu, and Manager Jin of Yipinju.
Mr. and Mrs. Cui liked quietness and did not come, but they asked Chen Qian and his wife to come and give them a housewarming gift.
Although no one came, the housewarming party had to be held, so my mother specially asked someone to send a table of banquet to Cui's house.
Jiang Zifeng and his brother took their sister to look at it secretly. There was a deed in the box, which was for a house in Jiangzhou.
Little Miaomiao was amazed.
My mother is so rich! She can even get a house when she moves.
Mr. Cui repaid his grandfather's kindness in a practical way. Not only did he accept disciples for free, but he also accepted three at a time. He was worried that my mother would not accept the farm, so he specially chose a day like today to send them.
Magistrate Xu and his wife also gave a Pixiu ornament to attract wealth and fortune and to protect the house from evil.
Manager Jin also came to deliver gifts on behalf of his boss who had never shown up.
I gave my mother a pair of little golden pigs as a gift, but she was a little hesitant to accept them.
The guests were having a great time while clinking glasses.
County Magistrate Xu felt that he was truly having fun with the people.
He was determined to be a good official, but failed to become a clean civil servant. He was fair and honest, and was deeply loved by his followers, but he also had to deal with officials and dignitaries, flattering them.
It is hard to tell whether he is good or evil.
The banquet is over.
Lu Qingyao left behind County Magistrate Xu and his wife, and Shopkeeper Jin.
The county magistrate's wife signed the contract readily.
She was a concubine's daughter born into a wealthy family, but was raised by her stepmother since childhood. She understood Lu Qingyao's difficulties and was grateful for her help in saving her own son.
I respect Lu Qingyao very much and am willing to support her, no matter how much the share is.
The next day, someone was sent to deliver 750 taels of silver.
When Shopkeeper Jin heard what Lu Qingyao said, he was very happy, as it coincided with what he had thought.
Twenty percent is one thousand taels of silver, which is neither too much nor too little.
He didn't even need to report back to the boss, he just agreed on his behalf. The boss had no objections to anything regarding Madam Lu...
Signed the contract readily.
He took out his own deed and explained the reason.
"What? Give me a 30% share!" I only invested 10,000 taels of silver, and I don't have to pay the money immediately. It can be deducted from the profit?
Lu Qingyao, who was always calm and composed, exclaimed.
That is a first-class residence, and its name is known throughout all counties and prefectures.
Considering the current value of Yipinju, a 30% share would be worth at least several hundred thousand taels.
She felt that either there was something fishy going on, or the owner of Yipinju was crazy.
Shopkeeper Jin was startled.
Originally, the boss wanted to give a 50% share, but it was too much, and it would make Boss Lu think that they had ulterior motives.
This woman is very smart.
The little baby nestled in his mother's arms was also startled, and his mother's reaction was a bit too big.
Her hand was pinched so hard that it hurt.
Originally, Aunt Xiuxiu wanted to take her away, but she clung to her mother and refused to let go.
She wanted to eavesdrop.
She had never been to Yipinju and didn't know how much this 30% share was worth.
But there should be quite a few, otherwise my mother wouldn’t have reacted like this.
Lu Qingyao felt that she must have heard it wrong, so she checked again, "Manager Jin, you said thirty, right?"
“That’s right!”
"Can I meet your boss?"
Shopkeeper Jin was a little embarrassed. "The boss is not in Jiangzhou and is not in charge of things... You don't have to worry about it. This matter has conditions..."
It’s good to have the conditions. After all, it’s easy to be killed by such a big pie falling from the sky!
Lu Qingyao gently kneaded the little girl's hand, waiting attentively for him to continue.
"The condition is that everything in Mr. Lu's hands can only be given to Yipinju, including the bamboo fungus..."
"Of course." Lu Qingyao said without hesitation.
Yipinju was so sincere that she had no intention of giving it to anyone else.
Moreover, the owner of Yipinju seems to have good vision.
It has been a long time since she started collecting bamboo fungus, but she just dried it with charcoal and stored it, and never sold it.
I think the shopkeeper Jin was worried that she would give it to someone else.
The technique of charcoal roasting is very particular and tests the skills of the craftsman. For this reason, she secretly invited an experienced tea roasting master.
She thinks the baking methods of the two are very similar, and the techniques are roughly the same.
As expected, the bamboo fungus roasted by the tea roasting master is much better in color and aroma than those produced in the original small workshop.
Shopkeeper Jin was delighted when he heard this. "I wonder when Master Lu is going to let everyone see the true face of the bamboo fungus?"
"Buy when it's cheap, sell when it's expensive..."
Lu Qingyao kept it a secret because the time was not right yet. Once it was sold now, merchants would flock to buy it.
Things are plentiful and cheap, so it is difficult to fully realize their value.
When Manager Jin heard her say this, he understood what was going on.
After she told Lu Qingyao everything about Qi Caiwei's intention to destroy her life, she finally signed the contract with peace of mind.
After signing the contract, all problems were solved.
No matter how Qi Caiwei lowered the price, it all went into Lu Qingyao's pocket, and Yipinju and the villagers also benefited. Why not do it?
When bad things turn into good things, it is worth celebrating.
However, Jiang Miaomiao discovered something that shocked her greatly.
What my mother signed on the deed were actually the three words "Jiang Miaomiao", and she signed it in the name of Jiang Miaomiao.
Take this little girl who is less than one year old, for example.
She originally had the potential to become the daughter of an official and a wealthy family from a young peasant girl.
As a result, he became a wealthy generation...
Jiang Miaomiao felt that if others knew about it, she might be in danger.
After all, she is just a little baby who has just learned to walk.
Do we need more guards?
But when I think about it, it seems that it’s not necessary. My mother and my aunt together can probably beat more than a dozen people each!
But why did mother give it to her?
Is it because she is not included in the Jiang family tree and is not considered a member of the Jiang family?
However, my mother didn't seem to intend to include her in the family tree, because Uncle Fu had asked her several times before, but my mother had always evaded the question.
Shopkeeper Jin was also very curious, but he didn't ask.
He is not the gossipy type either.
He just looked at the baby, and the baby also looked at him, revealing a few white baby teeth.
It's no wonder that he treasures such a little girl.
Two days later, early morning.
Qi Caiwei and her daughter arrived early in the morning.
It's obvious that she's determined to win this deal...
