90. Chapter 90: Planning to Go to the Province City

The courtyard was lively, and Qiulian Niang also moved outside to boil snow cakes with everyone. During the period, she could chat and gossip.

Chunmiao also retreated from the stove and went to beat eggs with her sister.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was in the kitchen with Jiang Wei. She was responsible for whipping cream with an electric egg beater, and Jiang Wei was responsible for moving the snow cakes and ice cream boiled outside in, and after cooling and filtering, they were collected into the space.

Everyone outside knew that the sticky snow cake liquid boiled out needed subsequent steps to become delicious snow cakes, so everyone tacitly stopped stepping into the kitchen. Even Qiulian Niang didn't enter the kitchen. If something was missing outside, she would call Jiang Xiaoxiao to send it out.

The mother and daughter had no scruples and started talking about the box of gold and silver treasures discovered last night.

"I went to a few pawnshops when I came back today." Jiang Wei took out the battery from the space and charged the electric egg beater that had run out of power, saying: "I looked at it slightly. The price given by the pawnshop in Yong'an Town is extremely low. It is not cost-effective to pawn the gold and silver jewelry in that box."

When she went in, she deliberately took out a gold hairpin to test. The pawnshop shopkeeper saw that she was dressed normally, thought she was a village woman who knew nothing, and kept suppressing the price. This hairpin weighed about half a tael, and the shopkeeper actually only gave a price of four taels of silver.

She was so angry that she laughed at the time, picked up the gold hairpin, and turned to leave.

Regardless of the engraving process and exquisite degree of this hairpin, it was extraordinary. This hairpin was also made of pure gold. Half a tael of gold was worth at least five taels of silver. How could the shopkeeper give such a shameless price!

Did he really think she was easy to fool?

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed when she heard it. Yong'an Town was just a poor and remote place after all, and couldn't produce a high price. This box of gold and silver jewelry was estimated to be eaten by a big place like the Province City.

"Mom, our business is getting better and better, we are not short of that bit of money. Let's talk about this box of gold and silver jewelry later."

"Aren't you thinking about buying a shop in town all day long?" Jiang Wei glanced at her and said indifferently: "I asked Shopkeeper Zhou when I delivered the goods today. The two-story shop front of Yuelai Restaurant and Zuixian Restaurant is about the same size, and the price is about eight hundred taels of silver. If it is just a small shop front on the first floor, the price is slightly cheaper, about six hundred taels."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "... So expensive?!"

She felt that Yong'an Town was a poor and remote place in the previous second, but when she heard the price her mother said, she suddenly felt that the poor and remote place was only relative. What was poor was only a part of the people. No matter where it was, there was no shortage of rich people.

However, these shops were expensive, but buying them meant they were their own real estate resources.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, buying a house is a good investment.

Jiang Wei pondered and said: "After this busy period, our mother and daughter will go to the Province City to see."

She thought the same as Jiang Xiaoxiao. This box of things can only be sold for a good price if they go to a bigger place. It is best to go to a big place like the Province City.

Above the County City is the Prefecture, and above that is the Province City, and above the Province City is the Capital.

They didn't dare to think about a place like the Capital, but they could still go to the Province City.

After the ice cream and snow cake business is over, they will have free time, and they can just go out and see. Since she transmigrated to this world for so long, her range of life has been limited to Yuhe Village and Yong'an County. She hasn't seen what the outside is like with her own eyes.

However, according to this plan, the matter of buying a shop in town has to be postponed.

The mother and daughter were planning future things in the kitchen, and the people in the courtyard were busy.

After more manpower, the speed of boiling snow cakes and ice cream was much faster. In less than an hour, the amount Jiang Wei moved into the kitchen was enough to deliver tomorrow's goods.

She waved her hand and collected everything into the space to freeze first.

A lot of ice cubes were also made using the ice maker last night, which could freeze a lot of ice cream and snow cakes.

By dusk, Jiang Wei's space was already full of goods to be delivered in the next five days.

She gave each woman the wages for today.

The women took the twenty wen wages in their hands and left with gratitude.

As for the sisters Chunmiao, Jiang Wei thought for a while, but still didn't give them wages. The work the two did was completely enough to offset an adult, and giving twenty wen of wages was more than enough.

But if the money was given to them, they would refuse, and the money would eventually fall into the hands of that Zhao the Scoundrel.

She simply helped them save it and gave it to them together when the time was right.

When everyone left, the mother and daughter finally had free time and started preparing dinner.

They hadn't finished work so early for a long time. Before hiring people, the mother and daughter almost had to boil until late at night every day.

After eating dinner early tonight, Jiang Wei started to test the multiplication table that Jiang Xiaoxiao had memorized before.

Jiang Xiaoxiao recited it fluently.

Jiang Wei didn't doubt it. After all, it had been some time. Since her daughter injected the gene modification liquid, she had become abnormally smart, and her memory was also excellent.

She opened her mouth and asked a few questions: "Three times nine is how much?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Twenty-seven."

"Six times eight?"

"... Forty-eight."

"Four times eight?"

"... Thirty-two."

In this question and answer, the mother and daughter rarely had a good sleep tonight.

However, they didn't know that on this night, the matter of Jiang Wei hiring people to work for half a day at a high price of twenty wen had already spread throughout the village.

Before dawn, many women in the village came to the gate of Jiang Xiaoxiao's house early.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was still playing chess with Zhou Gong in her sleep, but the noise outside was really annoying and she couldn't sleep. She simply climbed up, put on her clothes, and went out to see what happened.

As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she saw her mother being besieged by women in the village with an ugly face.

"Hey, I said Xiaoxiao's mom, I am a fellow villager with you, why didn't you call me for such a good job, and had to call those people from outside the village to do it?"

"That is, that is, what does that person from outside the village have to do with you, why did you give the benefits to them? You might as well hire me. I have great strength, and it is easy to get started with any work. If you hire me, I guarantee I will do better than that group of people from outside the village!"

The speaker was Li Dayong's wife, who had a good relationship with Wang Shenzi in the village. She was also a woman who loved to gossip behind her back. Not long ago, Wang Shenzi slandered Jiang Wei for hooking up with wild men outside in the village, and she also echoed a lot of words.

How could she want such a person?

Jiang Wei said coldly: "Third Aunt, our manpower here is enough."

Li Dayong ranked third in the family. Calling her Third Aunt was already giving enough face.

But the other party didn't know how to give up, saying directly: "This is easy to handle. If the manpower is enough, you just fire those few people from outside the village."
