85 Chapter 85: Liu Daniu’s Return

After speaking, Qin Xiaoyao started work.

After trying for a while, Qin Xiaoyao made a row of egg trays.

She also found some chicken and duck eggs to try out the trays.

Seeing that the egg trays could really protect the eggs, Madam Liu and Song Yun were full of admiration for their daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

!!

“Teach us quickly. We’ll help you make some so that we can clear the space for more eggs later,” Madam Liu said quickly. She was not in a hurry to make straw sandals anymore.

Song Yun also looked at Qin Xiaoyao with anticipation.

“Okay!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Following that, she began to teach the mother and daughter.

She was busy again until very late.

The days passed by in a hurry. As Qin Xiaoyao went up the mountains and down the rivers, the Song family’s days kept getting better.

It was late April. In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiaoyao had been in this world for more than a month.

She and Big Girl Li had already completed combing the surrounding areas of the deep mountains.

At the moment, other than the income from bamboo shoots, bamboo rats, Chinese Toon shoots, and fishing, the Song family only had the daily work of collecting vegetables and mountain goods, as well as selling straw sandals to make a living.

Since they didn’t have to waste a lot of time going into the mountains, Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li had a lot of free time these days.

At the same time, Song Que’s leg injury had recovered quite a bit, and he could finally get down and walk.

Since she was free, Qin Xiaoyao even thoughtfully made a pair of crutches for Song Que.

At first, Song Que’s face was full of disdain when he saw them, but eventually, he still walked out of the room with his crutches.

After being cooped up in his room for more than a month, Song Que’s spirit recovered quite a bit when he walked out of his room again.

He was a little surprised to see that his mother and sister had their own jobs to do every day, and they were all smiling and full of energy.

At the same time, he also felt encouraged.

The house was indeed different from before.

On this day, Qin Xiaoyao was making egg trays together with Madam Liu and Song Yun when Big Girl Li suddenly came to the door.

And she had even brought Liu Daniu along.

Qin Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, Big Girl Li explained the situation.

It turned out that Liu Daniu’s job in town was not secure. He said that after his boss’s relative arrived, they fired him.

“Hmph! It’s just a job that pays one tael of silver a month. What’s there to feel disheartened about?” After Big Girl Li finished speaking, she glared at her ‘disappointing’ man.

“Sister Sanya is preparing to do something big. Instead of going to town to put up with people’s whims just to earn some money, you might as well work with Sister Sanya!” Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was very surprised.

Then, she looked at Liu Daniu with a smile.

“Those few mountains have already been almost cleaned out by Big Girl Li and me. I’m indeed preparing other ways to make money.”

“Although it might not be as much as what I made with the Big Girl Li before, if it is done well, it should be better than the work you do in town.”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Big Girl Li.

“In addition, you have more flexibility in managing your time. You’ll also have more time to accompany Big Girl.”

Big Girl Li’s face instantly turned red.

Following that, she elbowed Liu Daniu’s arm.

Liu Daniu’s face turned red as well.

“We’ll… the two of us will listen to Sister Sanya!” He said. The way he addressed Qin Xiaoyao had also changed from ‘Mrs. Song’ to ‘Sister Sanya’, just like his wife.

For the past month, his wife had been working for Sister Sanya. The money she earned in a month was almost equivalent to what his family had earned in a year.

Not only that, but his wife also told him that after Erniu started working for Sister Sanya, he also thought he wanted to continue working for her.

And his little sister had already told his wife more than once that she wanted to work for the Song family.

That was why his wife kept urging him, hoping that he could quickly quit his job in town and go home.

He had been hesitating before, thinking it wasn’t good to give up the work in town and come back to fight for work with Erniu.

However, this time, the boss had fired him outright, so he had no reservations anymore.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.

“Okay! Since you’re here, let’s talk about this.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao invited the two of them to sit on the steps below the roof eaves.

As farming villagers, the couple did not mind. They simply grabbed a handful of straw to use as a cushion and sat down.

“Fortune Mansion has set up a Fortune Restaurant east of the town. It will open the day after tomorrow.”

Big Girl Li quickly nodded.

She had gone to town with Sister Sanya to deliver goods and witnessed Boss Fang telling her Sister Sanya about this.

Boss Fang’s intention was to arrange for most of the specialty dishes of Fortune Mansion to be served at Fortune Restaurant so that it could make a name for itself as soon as possible.

As her Sister Sanya had a good working relationship with Fortune Mansion, Boss Fang suggested letting her Sister Sanya supply some goods to Fortune Restaurant.

This meant that her Sister Sanya’s business was now even bigger. She had an additional restaurant where she could sell a lot of goods to.

It was also because of this reason that Big Girl Li was even more eager to get her man to come to the Song family. She didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

...

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li and smiled.

She continued, “When we delivered to Fortune Mansion, the back kitchen ordered 150 catties of farm vegetables, 6 catties of Chinese Toon shoots (since the beginning of daily delivery, the daily delivery volume has been adjusted), 50 catties of bamboo shoots, and 50 catties of bamboo rat meat. Edible fungi, mushrooms, and other mountain products are less than 40 catties. There’s also the supply of fish within 50 catties.”

“Other than the mountain products and fish, we can basically satisfy all their requirements on the other goods.”

Big Girl Li nodded again.

Every family in the village lined up to sell vegetables at the Song family’s house. They could generally collect 150 catties a day without any problem.

She and Sister Sanya took turns going into the mountain to pick Chinese Toon shoots, and it was not a problem to pick about five catties a day.

Bamboo shoots were even more straightforward. Every time they went into the mountains, they could dig up a few days’ worth of them.

The night before, they had to peel off the outer skin of the bamboo shoots and weigh them to add up to 50 catties.

On the other hand, the bamboo rats were much more troublesome. They were all hunted by her Sister Sanya in the bamboo forests when she went into the mountains the evening before.

After she returned, she would arrange for Big Girl Li to skin and process them.

In short, she felt that these few days were very relaxed and leisurely.

...

The most important thing was that she could earn money while feeling relaxed and leisurely. This was the happiest thing.

“Now, over at the Fortune Restaurant. Boss Fang has also asked me for these goods. It’s just that the quantity is a bit less. ”

Qin Xiaoyao met their gazes and continued, “For the time being, Fortune Restaurant’s order is 100 catties of farm vegetables, 3 catties of Chinese Toon shoots, 30 catties of bamboo shoots, and 20 catties of bamboo rat meat. Edible fungi, mushrooms and other mountain products are to be within 20 catties, while fish is within 30 catties.”

“In addition to these, the Mansion and Restaurant also accept poultry such as chickens and ducks. It’s just that there aren’t many people who sell poultry in our village, and I’ve only bought one or two previously when I encountered them.”

“I’ve asked the staff in the back kitchen. If it’s poultry, it’s fine even if we send 20 to 30 every day. As for the price, it’s basically the same as the market rate.”

“So, if we want to expand our business, we’ll also buy and sell poultry.”

Big Girl Li and Liu Daniu quickly nodded.

Qin Xiaoyao thought for a moment and continued, “Right. Let’s talk about my current situation.”

“There are a total of eighty-nine households in Brook Falls Village. According to the current situation, our family collects 150 catties of farm vegetables a day. It’s just about right.”
