My Children Are Fierce and Adorable Novel! - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Making a Wooden Cart for Ye Lulu

Ye Lulu smiled and said, “We can hire Old Aunt Xu’s family. Have you forgotten? Old Aunt Xu and her grandson don’t have anything to do, but they need to survive. Xu Huang still has to go out to the city to find odd jobs… Then why don’t I ask them to help me work? I’ll bring Xu Huang out and let him help me do heavy work and run errands. Although Old Aunt Xu’s health isn’t good, she can help me wash the vegetables. It’s just nice.”

“Besides, I’m not going out to do business on my own. If there are people in our family who are free, they can help me.”

At the mention of Old Aunt Xu and her grandson, Mother Rong’s expression changed. She really felt that it was very suitable… The manpower issue was also resolved. The two of them were also reliable villagers.

At this point, Mother Rong was completely convinced. She nodded and said, “Alright…”

After deciding, Mother Rong became excited and started to ask Ye Lulu, “Then what do you want to do? What food do you want to sell? Have you tried it at home? What do you need to do…”

Ye Lulu smiled and said, “Sell Malatang! I’ve cooked it at home before. It’s the numbing and spicy soup with different ingredients and fresh fragrance…”

Malatang was indeed suitable for setting up a stall outside, especially now that it was spring. The cold air had not faded and the river was cold. If passersby came to have a bowl of Malatang… that would be the best in the world!

It was really easy to make Malatang. In any case, Ye Lulu could stir-fry the soup base every day. The seasonings could also be changed according to the Shang dynasty’s situation. Ye Lulu was never inflexible.

Then, it was the ingredients that needed to be prepared over the next two days.

Ye Lulu left the Guan family and went to Old Aunt Xu’s house to tell her about helping out. Xu Huang was surprised. He did not expect Ye Lulu to ask Old Aunt Xu to work as well! However, Old Aunt Xu was overjoyed. She struggled out of bed and said that she could help Ye Lulu. Although her body was weak, she could still do things such as washing vegetables…

The Xu family was in a difficult situation. If Old Aunt Xu could work, they could earn two portions of money and that would be the best.

Ye Lulu nodded and even said that if the Xu family could grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, she could buy them from the Xu family as ingredients. Old Aunt Xu almost revived on the spot. Her spirits were greatly increased. She struggled out of the bed and was full of motivation to live. She wanted to recuperate and help Ye Lulu.

When the Guan family heard that Ye Lulu was going to start another business, they were a little surprised, but they quickly accepted it and did not have any objections.

Father Guan, Eldest Brother Guan, and the rest immediately took the time and initiative to give Ye Lulu a wooden cart like Mother Rong’s!

That was great. Ye Lulu was overjoyed. She was considered lucky to have transmigrated to an era where farmers in the mountains were more capable.

In ancient times, technology had not been popularized yet. Many ordinary people did not know any handiwork at all and were so poor that their pots were worn.

The Guan family started moving again. They were busy before preparing to leave to set up the stall.

On the other hand, in order to prepare for business, Guan Chibei went down the mountain to buy some supplies from the city.

Mother Rong and Ye Lulu told Guan Chibei what they wanted.

For some reason, Guan Chibei had a shocking memory. He remembered so many trivial things after hearing them just once.

Ye Lulu instructed Guan Chibei, “If you see anyone selling fruits in the city, especially foreign merchants, you can buy apples and pears as long as they’re fresh. Buy some back.”
