Translator: 549690339

Observing the bustling activity on the threshing floor, Qiao Xiaomai gave a few instructions to Qiao Changshun before turning back towards the village.

She now had 2700 taels worth of banknotes in her possession, giving her increased confidence, and she was ready to become a generous landowner.

For instance, making a pot of egg drop soup for the laborers.

She was never stingy, especially when it came to food, she was always willing to share.

Even with others, as long as they made her comfortable, she would never be stingy.

Back home, she took out eggs and the fresh vegetables that Qiao Changshun harvested and cooked a large pot of egg drop soup with the water from her storage space.

When the soup was ready, Qiao Changshun returned with the donkey cart.

The two of them lifted the pot onto the cart and headed for the threshing floor.

At this time, the weather was warm, and it was easy to work up a sweat. Hence, the villagers all brought pottery jars and bowls with them to the fields to hold water to quench their thirst.

Qiao Xiaomai only needed to prepare the egg drop soup, nothing else.

A large pot of egg drop soup, one bowl per person, was distributed.

It was the first time the group tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking. With one sip of the soup, their eyes immediately lit up.

Delicious!

They had never tasted such delicious soup!

Du Qing’ai was among them. She held up her bowl and gave Qiao Xiaomai a thumbs up, “Your cooking skills are amazing!”

No wonder she was able to earn so many fields with her skills.

“As long as it’s delicious, 1’11 bring more in the afternoon,” said Qiao Xiaomai with a smile.

“No need, no need, a taste is enough,” Du Qing’ai said quickly, shaking her head.

The egg drop soup Xiaomai made was substantial, packed full with eggs, the vegetables were mere garnish.

Just this one pot of soup must have required dozens of eggs. That was quite extravagant.

“It’s fine, everyone came to help, and it’s tough work,” she said.

She had been observing these people since yesterday and no one was slacking off. They all gave their best effort.

If these people were sincere with her, she would be sincere with them.

“Oh, she’s got such a good heart!” Du Qing’ai said, patting her thigh.

Qiao Xiaomai simply smiled softly without saying a word.

“By the way, do you still have any bean sprouts? The ones you gave to Xiaomei last time were really tasty,” Du Qing’ai added.

“Yes.”

“Then 1’11 come by your place to buy some after work,” Du Qing’ai said.

Qiao Xiaomai agreed.

By noon, everyone working returned to the village in groups, and Du Qing’ai went to Qiao Xiaomai’s house and bought two jin of bean sprouts.

Qiao Xiaomai had lowered the price of the bean sprouts: two jin for one wen.

Two jin of bean sprouts was a lot, and for just one wen, they had bought a decent quantity of delicious vegetables. It was a very cost-effective deal.

Du Qing’ai took the bean sprouts home and started promoting them to her neighbors.

By the afternoon, back on the threshing floor, she got to promoting them to the others.

The crowd was interested in the way she described it, Du Qing’ai came up with an idea for Qiao Xiaomai. Since she was making egg drop soup for the afternoon, why not replace the morning’s vegetables with bean sprouts?

Once everyone tasted how delicious the bean sprouts were, they would naturally be willing to pay for them.

It was a good idea. In the afternoon, Qiao Xiaomai made a large pot of bean sprout egg drop soup.

After tasting the bean sprouts, almost everyone bought two jin of them to take home when Qiao Xiaomai distributed the day’s wages. Soon, all the bean sprouts in Xiaomai’s house were sold out.

These people spread the word about the bean sprouts to others when they got home. In just two days, news of bean sprouts spread throughout Anping Village.

Everyone got to know this new, cheap, and tasty dish.

Qiao Xiaomai had always wanted to make a name for herself in the village with her bean sprouts, now that goal was finally achieved..
