As he spoke, he became sullen again, "Let me tell you, you gave others a profit of more than one tael of silver for nothing. If you earned it yourself, you could make more than ten taels in ten days and a half month."

Xu Jiaojiao didn't say much to him.

These three taels of silver were the start of her loquat business.

When passing through the town, Xu Jiaojiao went to the grocery store and bought a lot of candies, several times more than what she bought yesterday.

I also bought some rice, flour, grains and oil, and went home to improve the food for the tooth ceremony.

I also bought a piece of blue cloth for Mrs. Xu Zhang. Mrs. Xu loves Xu Jiaojiao so much. After making money, the first person to be filial to is naturally Mrs. Xu Zhang.

Xu Youde is still digging a cellar at home. It will cost money to lay a foundation, pave bluestones, and lumber in the cellar. It will cost at least several taels. Since she wants to do this business, she needs capital for everything. The cost of renting an oxcart to go to the county town every day is not much.

Low, it seems that I made more than three taels of silver the day before. After calculation, there is not much left.

But fortunately, everything was difficult at the beginning, and she overcame the first hurdle.

When we got home, it was almost evening, and Mrs. Xu Zhang was waiting eagerly at the end of the village.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao and the others driving the bullock cart back, Xu Zhang's face, which was wrinkled with tension, finally relaxed.

He didn't even return the ox cart and drove directly back to Lao Xu's house.

After entering the house, Mrs. Xu Zhang took Xu Jiaojiao to sneak around and said excitedly,

"Jiaojiao is suffering! How are the sales today? Mom told you that she sold a lot of things in Qingshui Town today. Although she didn't sell a tube of loquat ointment, she sold the others for you.

More than a hundred pieces of literature..."

It cost more than 100 yuan to rent an oxcart for a day, and I got all the money back.

It’s not considered a loss either.

As he spoke, he took out his tightly wrapped purse and counted the money for Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, you don't have to give me the money to keep, you keep it. We sold it in the county for three taels of silver, and I will hand it over to you in a moment. Let's unload everything from the oxcart first..."

Mrs. Xu Zhang was stunned on the spot!!

"What did you say? What? Three or two more?"

"There is still some food in the ox cart, a dozen big meat buns, a dozen big white flour steamed buns, and some grain, oil and rice noodles. I also pulled a piece of cloth for you. I didn't have time to pick, so I just took a piece. You go first.

Let’s sew some new clothes together, and when mom is free one day, we will pick out the materials you like...”

Mrs. Xu Zhang muttered again, "Three liang more? Am I hallucinating? More than three liang?"

It wasn't until Xu Jiaojiao put the money bag in front of Xu Zhang, and Xu Zhang touched the real white money, that she sighed and woke up.

He picked up a piece of silver and put it in his mouth and bit it.

Tears of excitement flowed from her eyes, "Jiaojiao, you really made so much money! Oh my God! My Jiaojiao! You are really my mother's treasure...Mom, please help you put it away."

Seeing Mrs. Xu Zhang's intoxicated face, Xu Jiaojiao woke her up in time, "Mom, don't get excited. These thirty taels of silver are the capital of our loquat ointment business. We need to spend it, such as repairing the cellar, buying...

Bluestone, paving the floor, building walls, etc., all kinds of expenses, don't think about saving a dowry for me, until then..."

Mrs. Xu Zhang couldn't bear to do it, "The cellar is for the family. Everyone can use it. How can I let you spend money to repair it alone? No, no, no..."

But it doesn't work, and the old girl is really anxious to use it.

"Mom, you can't save this money. Loquat paste is a delicate thing. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If there is no cellar for storage, it will go bad easily. Money earned is spent, but don't worry, as long as everyone works together, we will definitely earn it.

Back..." Xu Jiaojiao told the owners of several restaurants and teahouses in the county about their orders.

Mrs. Xu Zhang gradually became more at ease. As long as money can make money, this is a good thing.

She is not stupid, can she block her old daughter's way of making money?

However, it was a bit heartbreaking. She had just earned more than three taels of silver and had to spend it later. After saving for two years, she might not be able to save a dowry of more than three taels of silver for her old girl.

"By the way, Jiaojiao, what did you just say? A dozen big meat buns? What other ingredients are there?"

At this time, in the backyard outside the house, there was the sound of several boys celebrating around the bullock cart.

"Wow, I smell the aroma of big meat buns! Did my aunt bring them back specially for us to eat?"

"It must be. My dad said there was a good harvest today, and I sold out everything and bought us a lot of delicious food..."

"Xiao Liuzi wants to eat meat buns..."

"Hey, this piece of cloth is beautiful and feels so slippery. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money..."

Mrs. Xu Zhang collected the money and immediately rushed out with murderous intent.

"You all, let me go!! Whoever dares to touch my things, I will chop off your hands!!"

"The milk is here, run quickly..."

…

At dinner time, the morale of the entire old Xu family was high.

I usually don't have dinner, but two nights in a row I was lucky enough to have something to eat with Xu Jiaojiao. I just had dumplings yesterday, and today everyone has a big meat bun.

This kind of treatment is rare for most people to get during the Chinese New Year.

The boys, women and children who did not go to sell loquat paste today picked and peeled a lot of fruits at home.

Just wait until Xu Jiaojiao comes back to cook it in the evening.

With the order from the county, Xu Jiaojiao adjusted the production process of loquat paste.

Mrs. Xu Zhang said: "Today, you ladies went to the county town and sold out everything. After excluding all kinds of capital, food, and some good savings, we used it all to repair the cellar. We built the cellar first, and then we can pick as many fruits as we want."

It can be stored. You can store as much loquat paste and loquat dew as you want. There are still a few hundred coins left as capital. I have to rent an oxcart to deliver goods to the county every day. I also need to buy some necessary things for making loquat paste. Thank you for your hard work, you ladies. Make some money.

The dowry money is not easy, and I have bought you so many delicious food. You should be grateful, you know?"

Xu Zhang did not let Xu Jiaojiao tell the exact price of the sale.

For poor people, a few taels of silver is an astronomical amount.

The Xu family has a large population and many children. Knowing the specific number, they are afraid of being deceived by outsiders. When outsiders hear, they can sell more than three taels of silver a day?

They don't care about your hard-earned money or other expenses. I just heard that they sell so much in one day. This is not a robbery!

Even if there are no robbers, there must be those who rob the autumn wind!

Everyone in Xujia Village is from the same family, and many people are jealous of the old Xu family who eats two meals a day and lives a simple life.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu Zhang did not let Xu Jiaojiao say the specific number, and also covered the mouths of Xu Laosi and Erya.

Whoever reveals it will be ripped off.

"Okay, tits!"
