Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

  Chapter 92 The price is really expensive

  At noon, shopkeeper Lu stayed at Qiao's house for dinner. The cook cooked six dishes, and she wiped out half of them.

   "Your cook's craftsmanship is really good, it's as good as yours."

   "Of course, when we live together, you can eat it every day."

   "The day Xin'er is hired, can't she move in?"

   "It's August, and it's the rainy season after it's covered. Why don't you have to dry it? Buy furniture and blow it dry? Otherwise, it will be too humid to live in, and it will hurt your health."

   "That's right, when the building is almost finished, let's go and have a look together?"

"no problem."

  Lu Sanniang also hopes that the house will be built earlier, so that Ruxin can marry from there. Although it is not her own house, it is the same to marry from the master's house, as long as the scenery is good.

  On April 15th, the decoration of the shop was finally completed.

  Qiao Mai came to the shop, looked at the big plaque on the door, "Qiao Ji snack shop,"

  Gold lettering on a black background, shiny, once inside, the shelves are empty, but they are cleaned very well.

   There is a circle of counters in front of the shop. When customers come, they can buy goods at close range, and the staff will pick them up for them at the counter.

  There is a front desk at the door, which is the counter where the shopkeeper is.

  She had prepared the goods a long time ago, and asked the shopkeeper to watch at the shop. She took two assistants and five errands, and began to move things from the warehouse at home to the shop.

  Seven people moved back and forth more than a dozen times, and they were still transported back and forth with trolleys, which shows how much stock there is in the warehouse.

  These goods were all moved to the warehouse behind the shop, and the shopkeeper personally counted them into the account books.

  Qiao Mai pointed to him and told him the purchase price of these goods.

   On the surface, the world must know that these goods of hers were not brought by strong winds. If someone is interested, shopkeeper Niu can tell.

  Actually, all the goods didn’t cost a penny, and they were all net profits. She knew it better than anyone else.

  In addition to the few items sold on the beach before, there are also many varieties of fruits, vegetables and roasted seeds and nuts.

   It will be May in half a month, and many places in the south are also producing fruits and vegetables, so the fruits and vegetables in her space have a good reason to sell them.

   Shopkeeper Niu has also seen the world. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything.

  On April 16th and 17th, they hired people to build a beautiful and sturdy pergola in front of the door, and placed exquisite tables and chairs under it for the temporary rest of the merchants.

  The small shop has free tea. Although the tea is not very high-end, it does not cost money.

  Of course, these are also for business. Some wealthy merchants will stop here and visit the shop to buy what they like.

  Especially in hot weather, you can cut up a watermelon and eat a few pieces, or buy some dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts to eat on the road.

  In short, Qiao Mai asked shopkeeper Niu to arrange all this for the business of the shop.

  The small shop was packed up and opened on April 18th, the day of death.

  The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the old diners in the town came to join in.

  After seeing so many fresh fruits and vegetables, no one was empty-handed with the mentality of trying something new.

   Shopkeeper Lu and Mayor Qian also came over, and when they entered the shop, they looked at the dazzling array of goods, and their eyes were raised with joy.

  Although the two of them didn't give presents, they did support the show, bought a lot of things and left, and naturally they didn't miss any money.

   Shopkeeper Tong from Jingtai Restaurant also came over. Seeing so many kinds of vegetables, he immediately wrapped up the vegetables on the shelves.

  The green vegetables without any worm eyes, he couldn't walk when he saw them.

  Leeks come in bundles of 1 catty, clean, without any soil, a bundle of 100 cents, expensive, but you have to buy it.

  Cucumbers, depending on the root, cost 30 cents a piece, and two are almost a catty. Compared with leeks, they are really not expensive.

  Garlic sprouts cost a bundle of 100 Wen per catty, green onions cost a bundle of 100 Wen per catty, and fresh **** cost 100 Wen per catty. When the manager of the pharmacy heard about it, he sent someone to buy ten catties at once.

  Fresh garlic costs a hundred cents a catty, as long as there are dishes from Fucheng, she sells them.

  The price is really expensive. Poor people can’t afford it. They eat cabbage and radishes. When noble people buy them back, they are only eaten by the master. The servants have no chance to eat them.

  The boiled corn, roasted sweet potatoes, spiced quail eggs, spiced edamame, spiced fried melon seeds, salt and pepper peanuts, fried chestnuts, watermelons, melons, strawberries, ice cubes, etc. in the store are still at the old prices without change.

  She also took out the pancakes she made a few years ago. She bought a new house this year, and now that she has space, she will make many more when the season comes.

   Not only these, for example, after the chive flowers come out, she will also make some chive flower sauce, anyway, she does whatever comes down.

   Don’t sell it when it’s cheap after it’s ready, and sell it at a high price in spring and winter.

   Moreover, Qiao Mai gave the shopkeeper Niu an order to sell a certain amount every day until they are sold out. For example, there are twenty bundles of leeks a day, and they will be gone when they are sold out.

   Shopkeeper Niu asked puzzledly, "Boss, why don't you sell more?"

   "Scarcity is the most expensive thing, if you want to buy it, why is it so expensive?"

   Shopkeeper Niu thought for a while, "What do you mean?"

  On the first day the shop opened, the shopkeeper Niu was frightened by the turnover. A snack sold for more than one hundred taels a day.

  Excluding the purchase cost, you can earn twenty or thirty taels of silver.

  Such an inconspicuous shop can earn nearly a thousand taels of silver a month.

   This is just the people in the town who come to buy it. It opened the day before, and many merchants who come and go don’t know about it. If things go on like this, what about this shop?

   Shopkeeper Niu can't imagine, let alone raising more than a dozen people now, it is no problem to add more than a dozen more.

   Speaking of Qiao Mai opening a shop, someone asked, has Mrs. Qiao paid off her debt?

   Shopkeeper Lu has already answered, "It's paid off, and now the shop belongs to Mrs. Qiao."

   "What is the house behind the shop?"

   "It belongs to my Lu family, and she will live with me in the future."

   "It seems that shopkeeper Lu has made a lot of money all these years?"

   "Yes, thanks to everyone, business is going well. My daughter is getting married, so I have to leave the new house, right?"

   She said this after discussing with Qiao Mai. It is true that she paid off the debt, but Qiao Mai still lives in Lu's house.

  It is to prevent those people from coming to make trouble. The Qiao and Yuan families must not be reconciled. The Tian family has no reason to come and make trouble. Tian Sanzhuang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. If he comes back alive, I believe there will be a entanglement.

  The Ming Dynasty conscripted troops every year, and the general enlistment period was five years. After five years, those who were willing to stay in the army were given a monthly reward, and those who were unwilling could go home.

  Most people, when the five-year period is up, they will come back.

  Tian Sanzhuang has been gone for almost two years, and she will become stronger within these three years, not only economically, but also forcefully.

  Now her skills are not bad against ordinary people, but she is still far behind against martial arts people.

  Thinking of inner strength and mentality, she worried, and next time she sees Ms. Wang, ask her to inquire about it and see if it’s okay to buy it with silver.

  Her body has recovered, and the skills of her previous life have returned, and it is imminent to practice inner strength and mental methods.

   It's just that she has been hesitant and doesn't want people to know that she is practicing inner strength, so she hasn't spoken to Miss Wang for a long time.

  After the store opened, she would go out every five days to "buy goods"

   For the rest of the time, I will stay with Linger at home, doing embroidery during the day, and returning to the space to plant the land and prepare goods at night.

   Instead of spending time cooking, doing laundry, or watching the kids, she has more time.

  The news about Qiao Mai's opening of a shop spread to Qiao's house within two days.

  After Qiao Shicheng and his wife heard this, they were angry for several days. Just after recovering their spirits, it came that Qiao Mai had already paid off the money from shopkeeper Lu, and got the deed of sale and the IOU.

  The two of them passed out immediately, and Qiao Jiang Qiaohe and the others pinched them for a long time before choking them awake.

   Mrs. Qiao has made old money by selling goods, and everyone is jealous when she mentions it. Before she owed money and wanted to pay it back, the Qiao family was jealous but didn't dare to hum.
