Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm - Chapter 177

177 Only 24 wen?

Every bowl she sold was profit. If business in the village was good, they could earn a lot!

Lin Xiaoyue got down from the ox-cart and went to hold her mother’s hand.

“20 Jin of rice is not enough. Ruyi Restaurant increased the amount and asked for 12 bowls of cold cakes to be sent over in the afternoon. In addition, I’m also preparing to bring 8 buckets of cold cakes to sell near Qingyun Academy to try. Shouldn’t we also make some to sell at home?”

Liu Shi was shocked.

!!
“12 buckets?” Didn’t they just ask for 4 yesterday?

“We don’t have enough buckets!” Suddenly, Liu Shi thought of that and she panicked

“Hehe.” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“Mom, Xioayue bought more buckets. There are a lot of them in the ox-cart!” Lin Xiaozhi said.

Xiao Qing also looked at Liu Shi with a smile.

Only then did Liu Shi relax.

“Let’s go, we’ll help carry the wooden buckets!” Xiao Qing said to Lin Xiaozhi.

“Alright!” Lin Xiaozhi quickly responded.

Liu Shi stepped forward and saw that there were indeed a large number of wooden buckets piled up in the ox-cart. She finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Let’s unload the things from the cart first,” she said to her daughter.

“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue responded.

She immediately got back on the ox-cart.

Then, she took out the wooden buckets and passed them to the three people below.

Suddenly, she heard Aunt Wang’s voice from outside.

“Liu Shi!”

Seeing that the Liu family was busy, she quickly came forward to help.

“You’re here so quickly? Is Era feeling better?”

“Yes. The swelling has completely gone down. She wants me to thank you for the buns you brought her!”

“What’s there to thank? I still have some if she wants more!” Lin Xiaoyue said cheerfully.

“Hehe, that’s enough. You’re too generous, girl!”

Aunt Wang was quick and agile, and it didn’t take long for her to help unload everything from the ox-cart.

Then, she helped Liu Shi take the two children to the stream to wash the wooden buckets.

Lin Xiaoyue led the ox back to the shed, removed the ox-cart, and fed the ox.

After she was done, she went to the kitchen to look at the rice that Liu Shi had made.

20 catties of rice was not enough.

Lin Xiaoyue found 2 water buckets and soaked another 20 catties of rice.

At the same time, by the stream, Liu Shi had already told Aunt Wang about the business in the morning.

Aunt Wang’s eyes lit up.

Then, she told her about what Lin Xiaoyue asked her.

“Do it! Shuanzi is familiar with the surrounding villages. He’s also hardworking. In one day, he might be able to make as much as he would at the dock!”

When Liu Shi agreed, Aunt Wang felt more at ease.

“I think so too! I’ll tell them when they come back tonight!” Aunt Wang said.

“Sure! If he agrees, I’ll tell Yue’er to buy more wooden buckets so that we won’t run out of cold cakes in the future!” Liu Shi said generously.

After seeing the business this morning, she now believed in her daughter’s cold cake business.

If they sold the cold cakes at Ruyi Restaurant, the market, near Qingyun Academy, the dock and other villages, how many bowls of cold cakes would they sell in a day?

“Take it slow. The wooden buckets aren’t cheap,” Aunt Wang said with a smile.

“It’s okay. She’s close to Mr. Jin and she buys a lot from him. He only charges 24 wen,” Liu Shi smiled.

Aunt Wang was shocked.

“Only 24 wen?” She said in disbelief.
