Chapter 145 - 145: The Valuable Sheep



Qiao Xiaomai’s family only had two pots. One for cooking meals and the other for seasoning these items, and she really couldn’t keep up with the work.

Moreover, the profit she got wasn’t that high, if she was busy one day, she might just stop doing it.

The thing she most wanted to make at the moment was tofu skin.

The technique involved wasn’t complex, but it was a lot more trouble than making tofu.

With that in mind, she planned to use the proceeds from the tofu skin sales to cover her recent expenses: buying cattle and sheep, hiring workers, and everything else.

Shopkeeper He reacted a bit uncomfortably to Qiao Xiaomai’s words.

Although his suspicions hadn’t been cleared up, it was good enough that Qiao Xiaomai was willing to bring fresh food over.

Thinking about it, he gave a long sigh, “Right, I’ll remember what you said.

Miss, do not forget to bring food to Ji Weiju next time.”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “I won’t forget.”

After they had finished discussing official matters, Shopkeeper He ordered his people to load the 200 medlar saplings and followed Qiao Xiaomai’s donkey cart towards the three slopes.

He had originally planned to buy cattle and sheep, but that would have to be postponed.

The three slopes were situated on the southeast side of Anping Village, next to a small river. Since it was spring, the weeds were growing profusely, reaching waist-high in some areas on the slopes.

Shopkeeper He didn’t come over, and it was Yuan Ding who was responsible for the planting of the medlar seedlings.

Qiao’s family of three sat in the donkey cart as Yuan Ding issued instructions, and the ten people who had accompanied them immediately went up to cut the grass with spades.

The three slopes totaled over fifty acres in area. They definitely wouldn’t clear it all, just enough to plant the medlar seedlings.

Qiao Xiaomai got down from the donkey cart, squinted her eyes and observed for a while, then asked Yuan Ding, “Brother Yuan, do I need to provide lunch for these workers?”

“No need, Shopkeeper He will send someone to deliver it. If you have nothing else to do, you can go home directly. Come over tomorrow and take a look. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely handle everything properly.”

With that, Qiao Xiaomai felt relieved and went home with Qiao Changsun.

There was no way, the chicken feet and poultry that were on the cart needed to be seasoned. Her being there was purely a waste of time.

Once at home, Qiao Xiaomai didn’t rush to cook, but went up the mountain to gather firewood.

The earth stove burned through a lot of wood, especially with the food they made the previous day.

Although Rooster Mountain was large, it couldn’t handle all the people in Anping Village using it for firewood. Therefore, firewood gathering wasn’t an easy job, she had to travel further into the mountain.

After roaming around the mountain for half an hour, she came down carrying a large bundle of firewood.

But to make sure she could gather dry wood quickly for the next time, she brutally snapped three saplings the size of a bowl with her bare hands before leaving, and carelessly threw them on the ground to dry. The next time she came, she just had to drag the three trees down the hill.

When she got home, she first cooked lunch. The two grass carps bought yesterday hadn’t been eaten yet, so they were cooked into a fish soup. After lunch, Qiao Xiaomai began to season the five hundred chicken feet and ten each of chickens and ducks. She was busy all afternoon until dusk.

The family ate dinner early and went to bed early. The next day, the three of them rode the donkey cart to the town.

Five hundred and thirty-two chicken feet, two coins each, totaled to a thousand and sixty-four coins.

Each chicken cost seven coins, the prices for chicken and duck were the same, twenty in total amounted to one hundred and forty coins.

They had been busy all day yesterday and earned one thousand two hundred and four coins in total.

Qiao Changshun breathed a sigh of relief. They had been spending money for the past few days, and he was starting to worry.

Since they made money, the three of them went to the place where cattle and sheep were sold.

This place was on the edge of Bailu Town, in a large courtyard. There were both cattle and sheep available, and they all looked good, fat and strong.

However, not only did these livestock look good, but their prices were also quite impressive. The price of a milk-producing ewe was as high as eight taels of silver..
