Cloth, in this era and space, there is no cotton. Cloth is generally divided into two types, hemp and silk.
According to the “Daqi Law”, taxes should be paid in hemp, so cloth is a hard currency in Daqi that can be directly used to buy things.
A piece of cloth here is about thirty meters long, even the roughest kind of hemp, it costs several hundred copper coins.
Flour too, a bag of white flour, the usual kind in a hemp bag, also costs several hundred copper coins per bag.
When Mrs. Sun said this, Qiao Xiaomai became more convinced that her strategy had changed.
“Grandma, we don’t have any white flour or cloth in our house right now, let alone tofu. Let’s wait until tomorrow, I’ll go to town and buy some for you.” Qiao Xiaomai spoke timidly.
Qiao Changshun nodded again and again, “Let’s wait for tomorrow!”
At this moment, the house was indeed out of stock.
Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai agreed so readily, Mrs. Sun became suspicious. She looked Qiao Xiaomai up and down and warned, “Don’t try to fool me with rotten goods!”
“You shut up!” Before Qiao Xiaomai could speak, Qiao Qinghe cut her off. He stepped out, grabbed Mrs. Sun, and dragged her back. He didn’t forget to remind Qiao Xiaomai, “Xiaomai, don’t listen to her nonsense. Don’t buy the flour or cloth.”
Being tugged by him, Mrs. Sun stumbled but didn’t resist. She just told Qiao Meipan, “Meipan, take the basket from your second brother.”
Even a mosquito’s meat, however small, is still meat!
Qiao Meipan agreed and walked forward, taking the small basket from Qiao Changshun’s hand.
Her gaze swept over Qiao Xiaomai, a shadow flashed in her eyes. She vowed to destroy that bewitching fox-like face!
So, Mrs. Sun’s group came in hurriedly and left quietly.
Apart from Mrs. Sun’s few wails, everyone else was quiet.
Hearing the commotion, Yang Guilan came out from her house, uttering noises of surprise. It was really strange, too strange.
Seeing Yang Guilan, Qiao Xiaomai smiled and asked, “Auntie, aren’t you going to work in the fields?”
“I’m about to go.” Yang Guilan chatted with Qiao Xiaomai for a while, then turned back home.
It had just rained, which was a good time for weeding. Once the weeding was done, they could just wait for the wheat harvest.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai also didn’t leave for the Tong Family’s. She put the bean sprouts back in the house and helped Qiao Changshun wash the chicken feet.
After washing the chicken feet, the three of them rode on a donkey cart back to town.
Once they arrived at the town, the three of them went straight to Jiwaiju.
This surprised Shopkeeper He a bit, this young lady wasn’t angry anymore?
But he did not want to directly admit that he had sent people to watch this family’s movements, he had to pretend he didn’t know that this family had returned to Anping Village, and laughed, “Oh, you’re here, please sit down, why didn’t you come to Jiwaiju for lunch? I’ve been expecting you and preparing good food and wine!”
Qiao Xiaomai smiled generously, “We had lots of chores to do at home, so we returned home for a bit. Shopkeeper, are the soybeans ready?”
“All ready, just waiting for you.” Seeing Qiao Xiaomai getting to the point, Shopkeeper He naturally didn’t banter, leading her to the room where the stone mill was kept.
Meanwhile, he didn’t forget to pull out the deed from his bosom and hand it to her.
Qiao Xiaomai took the deed and began teaching how to make tofu. By the time the tofu was shaped, the sun had already set.
This family of three didn’t want to eat dinner at Jiwaiju. Shopkeeper He packed a few dishes in a small jar for them to take home.
With that, the tofu and bean curd business was officially sold. From now on, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t use tofu and bean curd for profit, except for her own consumption..
