Chapter 505: 505: The Bean Sprouts Are Sold Out
Qiao Xiaomai resentfully described what had happened at noon and concluded, “Remember to bring me a rattan cane or something, the kind that hurts when striking someone.”
“Three, also prepare for Zhaodi and Yindi.”
As she spoke, she raised three fingers and shook them.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang nodded, “Alright.”
“By the way, how do you feel about Sun family suddenly proposing a marriage to my father for me?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“She’s currently living in the middle of nowhere, with no village in sight and few people to see. The Sun family doesn’t have many relatives either. Suddenly, she’s taken up the role of a matchmaker, it must be Sun Junyan’s idea.”
“Moreover, Cen Hong is loyal to Prince Duan. Prince Duan has always wanted to dig into your family; could it be that they want to insert someone into your home using this marriage?”
Qiao Xiaomai blinked, then suddenly slapped her thigh in agreement, “That must be it!”
“So your approach is very effective. Don’t let Madam Sun into the house. If she dares to come, hit her. Hit her hard.” Tong Sanlang began to laugh, “As long as your attitude is tough enough, they have no choice.”
Hearing his words, Qiao Xiaomai chuckled softly, “Yang Wang is nothing more than cannon fodder.”
His naked desire for power was too blatantly shown. She had never met the Crown Prince and didn’t know what kind of person he was, but comparing Yang Ye and Yang Wang, Yang Wang was truly just cannon fodder.
“So, don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting upset over the trick played by a piece of cannon fodder.” Tong Sanlang softly advised.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows, “I’m mad at my father, I was actually waiting for Mrs. Sun to come. If he continues to be indecisive and wimpy, I truly intend to break away and start my own family.”
A person’s survival should be self-focused.
She had lost her patience with Qiao Changshun.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang patted her hand reassuringly and changed the topic, “The business at my shop was good today. All the bean sprouts are sold out.”
“Those sent to the town are also sold out.”
It was their first time selling bean sprouts, so they didn’t prepare a lot. They only soaked one hundred jin of soybeans, which yielded more than eight hundred jin of bean sprouts. They put one hundred jin in the village, and he and Tong Erlang took the rest to the town.
As for He Zhanggui at the Extreme Taste Residence, as soon as he saw him, he took two hundred jin of bean sprouts willingly.
Then they went to Zuixian Building. Knowing his good relationship with Qiao Xiaomai, Shopkeeper Zhou also took one hundred jin readily.
Then they went to the Bailu Academy and found the head chef of the cafeteria.
With many people in the Academy, they sold three hundred jin at once.
With the remaining one hundred jin, he and Tong Erlang sold some at small restaurants and some door-to-door. By the end of the day, everything was sold out.
Eight hundred jin of bean sprouts, that made eight hundred copper coins, plus the income from vinegar and maltose, they made almost one thousand copper coins in a day.
When they were having dinner, they all sat together counting the copper coins with smiles on their faces that they couldn’t hide.
“I’m glad you’re happy, but you’ve been dragged around town all day?”
“I won’t go next time, I want to study.”
“That’s more like it. That Sun Junyan is also preparing for the local examination. You must do better than him.” Qiao Xiaomai stressed.
“Don’t worry, both Headmaster Gu and the retired emperor have praised my scholarship.”
Tong Sanlang was quite confident about this.
The two stayed a little longer, then went to bed.
The next day, while Qiao Xiaomai was still sleeping groggily, she suddenly felt a warm flow from below.
This feeling was too familiar. She leapt up from her bed.
Her period had started!”
