The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug - Chapter 160
160 Chapter 160: Big Girl Li Moving House
Madam Liu’s eyes were ablaze like torches, and she quickly discovered the hairpins on her eldest son’s and daughter-in-law’s heads.
The smile on her face widened.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go back.” In consideration of the two young people’s pride, Madam Liu decided to keep her mouth shut.
Hehe! Who had never experienced the youthful passions of young people?
!!
Everyone turned back.
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que inadvertently ended up trailing behind the whole group again.
Suddenly, Song Que let go of Qin Xiaoyao and held her hand.
Qin Xiaoyao was shocked. She turned her head and saw that Song Que did not turn back and continued to walk forward.
Looking at the man’s handsome side profile, the woman couldn’t help but smile.
Matching Song Que’s pace, she followed him slowly.
Morning came as promised.
As usual, Qin Xiaoyao was helping Song Que with his rehabilitation exercises in the courtyard.
At this moment, Qin Dahu arrived.
He was carrying two large wooden buckets to fetch water.
Qin Xiaoyao went to open the door. Seeing that it was her big brother, she immediately smiled.
Qin Xiaoyao was relieved to know that the Qin family had already stocked up on the grain last night.
“It’s cool in the morning, so I came to get three buckets of water. When evening comes, Younger Brother will come and fetch three more buckets.” The water buckets in his house were big, and six buckets a day were enough.
“Just come over. There’s a lot of water in my well. We can’t finish it,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
After saying a few more words to Qin Dahu, she continued to help Song Que with his rehabilitation exercises.
Seeing this, Qin Dahu smiled and glanced at his brother-in-law a few times.
The relationship between his younger sister and his brother-in-law seemed to be getting better and better…
Then, after Qin Dahu made two trips and the Song family was about to start eating, Big Girl Li and company also arrived.
As they were moving today, Big Girl Li and company had set off earlier today, so they arrived earlier.
Qin Xiaoyao invited everyone to have breakfast together, but they said they had already eaten.
After placing some things in the courtyard, Big Girl Li then went next door.
After returning to the hall, Qin Xiaoyao made some arrangements while eating.
“Xiaomei and I will be going out later. Mother, you and Yun’er go next door to take a look and see if you can help.”
“You don’t have to tell me!” Madam Liu answered with a smile.
“Mm-hmm!” Song Yun also nodded.
After their meals, Qin Xiaoyao finally left the house with peace of mind.
When she arrived at Fortune Mansion, Uncle Zhao ordered another 800 century eggs from Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao took the opportunity to chat with Uncle Zhao about the Qin family sending meat to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant.
“Recently, the business of the Mansion and the Restaurant have been declining.”
“However, we’re not the only ones. The weather is getting hot, and the business of the other restaurants and eateries in town are also affected. It’s quite normal to use less pork,” Uncle Zhao said.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“Then, my century eggs…”
“There is not much impact on your century eggs.” Uncle Zhao immediately waved his hand.
“Now, almost all the customers who come to the Mansion to eat will order a serving of century egg with green pepper. Some customers will even order two servings outright.”
“There’s also cucumber and century egg soup and congee with pork and century egg. They’re very popular too.”
“A customer is still asking around. He wants to buy some standalone century eggs back and ask his family’s kitchen staff to make these dishes.”
“It’s just that the Boss is still hesitating. He’s afraid it will affect the Mansion’s business.”
Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised. She didn’t expect her century eggs to be so popular.
“So, don’t worry about the century eggs.”
Uncle Zhao looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Besides, didn’t you say that you wanted to open a congee shop and sell century egg congee? Uncle has high hopes for your business!” He gave Qin Xiaoyao a look of approval.
Whether at the Fortune Mansion or Fortune Restaurant, the congee with pork and century egg that the back kitchen prepared every day was always the first to be used up.
Many customers liked to take some away when they left, which showed how much they liked the congee.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up.
“Hehe! Thank you, Uncle!” She gave Uncle Zhao a mischievous grin.
Uncle Zhao laughed with amusement.
Qin Xiaoyao suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh, yes! Uncle, there’s one more thing.”
“Go ahead,” Uncle Zhao’s smile faded.
“It’s getting harder and harder to collect farm vegetables these days. The weight of the vegetables that Erniu and company send over is almost never enough.”
“I’m preparing to grow a new vegetable. It could also be considered a farm vegetable, the kind that could be harvested all year round. The taste isn’t that special. The only good thing about it is that it is fresh and tender. Do you think you can allocate a quota to me for this vegetable?”
Uncle Zhao was taken aback.
“A vegetable that can be harvested all year round?” He was a little surprised.
“Mm-hmm. Even in winter!” Qin Xiaoyao emphasized.
Uncle Zhao’s eyes lit up.
“Sure. Then you try growing it. I can make the decision now. Let’s fix it at 50 catties a day for ten days,” he said.
He had confidence in his niece.
Qin Xiaoyao laughed.
“There’s no need for ten days. From the moment it’s planted to when it’s fully grown, it’ll only take three to four days! Just allow me to supply four days’ worth! When the Mansion is satisfied, I can plant more any time!”
Uncle Zhao was even more shocked. It would mature in three to four days? What kind of vegetable was this?
“In addition, this vegetable is somewhat different from the Chinese Toon shoots and century eggs. There is nothing special about it. I’m just going to sell it like an ordinary farm vegetable,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
“In this way, I’m not going to provide this vegetable to Fortune Mansion exclusively. In the future, if we grow a lot, I might send some to the market to sell.”
“Er…” Uncle Zhao was a little hesitant.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “If it’s really an ordinary vegetable, sure.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhao!” she hurriedly expressed her thanks.
“No need to thank me! If your vegetable is good, our Fortune Mansion’s business will be good, and I can get more pay,” Uncle Zhao replied with a smile.
This was the truth. His monthly salary had already increased twice because of this girl.
Now, the owner and the manager also hold him in even higher regard.
Qin Xiaoyao chatted with Uncle Zhao for a while more before leaving.
When she got home, she didn’t look for Wang Xiaomei. Instead, she went to help out next door.
As there were many people helping out, Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei had already settled down next door.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao had arrived, the two of them asked her to have lunch with them.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t refuse, but she offered to help out with the cooking.
So, at noon, the Song family all came to Aunt Sun’s house for lunch.
Aunt Sun was very hospitable, and after the meal, everyone’s neighborly relationship became even better.
Knowing that it was not convenient for the Sun family to get water now, Qin Xiaoyao even took the initiative to invite Aunt Sun to get water from her house.
Aunt Sun was extremely grateful for that offer.
The relationship between the two families grew closer than ever.
After lunch, the Song family returned next door.
Qin Xiaoyao helped Song Que back to his room.
“That’s great. Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei have finally moved into town as they wished,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh.
The two of them were quite obsessed with living in town and had already talked about it in front of her several times.
Song Que glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and smiled.
“It is indeed much more convenient to live in town,” he replied.
More importantly, they might even preserve their lives later on.
Of course, he didn’t say this part out loud.
“Mm-hmm. At least she doesn’t have to travel back and forth between Brook Falls Village and town every day.”
