Chapter 113 - 113: Land Acquired



Seeing Xiaomai’s eyes light up, Shopkeeper Zhou was taken aback, and then he understood. It seemed that Miss Qiao really liked chicken claws!

With that thought, he waved his chubby hand magnanimously and said, “There are over a hundred, all for Miss Qiao.”

Chicken claws, if a customer ordered a whole chicken, naturally it couldn’t be missing, but the rest of the dishes could save some, in three days, they had gathered more than a hundred and fifty.

This time it was Xiaomai’s turn to be stunned, but she swiftly shook her head, “No, no, no, you better sell it to me at the normal price.”

She insisted on settling accounts clearly, she didn’t like being in someone’s debt.

“It’s just a bit of chicken claw, don’t mind it.”

“It’s a lot to me, I have to mind.” Xiaomai was resolute.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou had no choice but to go along with her, “Alright, three for a penny, give me fifty pennies.”

There was no market price for chicken claws sold separately, so the price of this transaction was naturally determined by him.

Xiaomai thought about it, did not refuse, and counted out fifty copper coins from her pocket and handed them to Shopkeeper Zhou.

So Shopkeeper Zhou ordered his staff to bring the chicken claws out of the ice cellar and put them on the donkey cart.

Xiaomai then asked how the tofu and bean curd were selling.

The answer, naturally, was only two words: Very good.

These past few rainy days, Xiaomai hadn’t delivered tofu and bean curd to Extreme Taste House, so all the original business of Extreme Taste House had been snatched by Zuixian Building.

Moreover, Zuixian Building quickly spread the way to make tofu and bean curd to its branches throughout the country, and even presented it to Emperor Yongan. Now, the earnings of Zuixian Building had doubled.

“Miss Qiao, you must think of Zuixian Building for any good opportunities in the future.” Before parting, Shopkeeper Zhou stuffed a packet of pastries into Dami’s hand, and instructed Xiaomai.

“Alright.” Xiaomai nodded.

The bean sprouts will be ready today, and if everything goes well, she will start delivering them to Zuixian Building in a few days.

Leaving the Zuixian Building, the family of three drove the donkey cart to Extreme Taste House.

Learning that she had come, Shopkeeper He rushed out to greet her, “Oh, Miss Qiao, you’re finally here!”

“It’s been a few days, how have you been, Shopkeeper He?” Xiaomai greeted him cheerily.

“Not good, not good!” Shopkeeper He slapped his thigh and hurriedly led Xiaomai and her family to the room, “Come, come, come, the land deed is prepared, you quickly press your handprint on it, and start teaching the chef how to make tofu and bean curd!”

Without the tofu and bean curd business, he was heartbroken.

He couldn’t swallow his pride to buy from Zuixian Building, and without the delicious bean curd, his stomach hurt.

Now that the rain had stopped and Xiaomai had come, this matter had to be done quickly!

There could be no more delays!

Three days was enough time for Shen Bai to bring the recipes for tofu and bean curd to the Palace.

Sigh!

He hoped that the Emperor would not bear a grudge for Extreme Taste House’s previous lack of respect in not offering recipes. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to offer them, but at that time, he had no way to obtain them if Xiaomai wouldn’t sell!

“Miss Qiao, have a look at this.” Shopkeeper He took out the land deed and handed it to Xiaomai.

Xiaomai took it and said, “1 don’t know how to read.”

“Forgot!” Shopkeeper He slapped his forehead, and explained, “This piece of land is not in Anping Village.”

Anping Village had thousands of people, equating to the population of ten other villages. Because it was so crowded, the surrounding land was all taken up. Moreover, with Shen Bai’s efforts to collect a hundred and fifty acres, when his employer decided to make a move, the land he acquired was somewhat distant from Anping Village.

There was no choice, the villagers didn’t want to sell and they certainly couldn’t resort to stealing..
