Chapter 172 Old Li Tou's Worries

For Old Li Tou, Ding Xiang was his biggest customer, earning fifty copper coins every day. For him, it was like pie in the sky.

After so many days, he has become accustomed to it.

What's more, he began to not want to serve the villagers, but dedicated himself to serving Ding Xiang.

Because he felt that even if his income was only fifty cents a day, it would be great to be so stable every day.

After another long while, Old Li Tou couldn't bear it any longer.

"Da Gua Niang, I have an idea, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Ding Xiang was taking a nap when she heard the sound and opened her eyes. She glanced at Lao Li and nodded.

"Look, can I work specifically for your family in the future? I know it's a bit abrupt for me to suggest this. If you don't want to, that's okay."

"Of course I am willing." Ding Xiang answered without hesitation, then hesitated, "But if this happens, people in the village who want to go to the town will have no oxcart rides?"

When Lao Li heard this, his heart was completely relieved.

After heaving a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, Uncle Mu in the village has some ideas in this regard. Before, the villagers felt inconvenient because I was doing things for you."

"As soon as this word came out, someone immediately stood up, that is Uncle Mu. He came to discuss with me yesterday and wanted to buy a bullock cart specifically for the villagers to use when traveling to town."

"That's it, that's all."

When we walked halfway, it was already time for lunch.

Ding Xiang took out a few steamed buns and gave them to Da Gua and Lao Li. It was a simple lunch.

When Lao Li first saw it was a meat bun, he was unwilling to accept anything.

"No, no, no, no, no, I have pancakes here, I can just eat the pancakes." As he said this, he took out the dry pancakes from his arms, which were as hard as a stone.

Without saying anything, Ding Xiang stuffed the bun directly into Lao Li Tou's hand, then turned around and started eating on her own.

Lao Litou was so moved that he silently accepted the bun, took a bite, and sighed in his heart, it tastes so good!

On the other side, the female workers at Dingxiang's house have also come to take a lunch break.

Huajiao asked the female workers to put down their work, then took a piece of pearl and went next door to eat in the canteen.

As soon as she entered the door, Huajiao saw that there was an awning in the yard, which was good for both rain and sun protection.

Three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetarian.

The big guy ate with his mouth watering again, and kept lamenting that he had followed the right employer, and that he would have a good life in the future.

After eating and drinking, some sat at Grandma Lin's house for a while, and some went back to Ding Xiang's house to sit for a while.

In short, half an hour later, they were back to work.

Just in the morning, they slowly finished ten thousand pastries.

The remaining raw materials can only make 10,000 more.

This was only because they had slowed down and were able to persist for so long.

Everyone was thinking that they should be able to get off work early today.

Little did he know that Dingxiang had returned with two large carts of raw materials.

When Ding Xiang and three others drove two ox carts into the village, those meddlesome women came over again.

"Da Gua Niang, did you buy an ox cart by yourself?" The man glanced at the ox cart driven by Da Gua with a look of envy on his face.

In this village, apart from Li Zheng's family, only Lao Li Tou's family owns an oxcart.

And animals like cows are of great use in the village.

When you are free, you can use it to transport villagers to distant places and earn some copper coins.

When farming is busy, cattle are indispensable for plowing in the fields and grinding millstones.

In the past, when any family needed it, they would borrow it from Li Zheng or Lao Litou's family.

If someone has a cow, it is actually a very enviable thing.

After all, a cow is expensive, a dozen taels of silver, which is a family's income for two years.

Facing the question from the good-hearted woman, Ding Xiang just nodded and didn't intend to say anything else.

But if you are not in the majority, others will not stop talking.

The woman's chat box opened and the chatter began.

"Da Gua Niang, you are really amazing. It has only been a few days, and you are recruiting female workers to work for you, and you are buying oxcarts." The man looked at the oxcart and pointed at Lilac.

Just a wink, "Tell me, how much profit do you make from this pastry in one day?"

This can be said to be a cliché.

In the past, these women often asked questions, but they were all fooled by Lilac.

Of course, this time, Ding Xiang did not intend to tell the truth, she only said that she could barely make ends meet.

Of course those people didn't believe it, and when they wanted to pester him, Li Zheng came over in a hurry.

It was because someone saw something was wrong and went to inform Li Zheng.

Lin Li is now very concerned about Ding Xiang's movements in the village.
