Chapter 66

She said that.

Qiao Lanhua and the others didn't say anything else.

Another chicken.

Qiao Sheng originally made it to eat in the afternoon, but now she said to take it back for them, so this afternoon she'll make something else to eat.

Fortunately, there were still some rice and eggs left to sell in the afternoon.

Qiao Sheng just ate the fried rice she had stir-fried.

She didn't plan to sell in the evening today, so the prepared food wasn't as much as before.

Lan Yue Niang was worried about Qiao Lanhua and the others; after finishing work, she stood at the village entrance looking out, caught a glimpse of them returning in an ox cart without saying anything, and they even brought back a chicken.

She stepped forward and asked: "Lanhua, Xuehua, where did this chicken come from?"

"The eldest sister gave it."

Qiao Xuehua handed (it) to Lan Yue Niang and Qiao Lanhua, and together they got off the ox cart one after another.

After they left, the driver turned the cart around and headed back to town.

Lan Yue Niang looked at them and asked: "Did you pay in advance?"

"The eldest sister gave it."

Qiao Xuehua and Qiao Lanhua said in unison.

Lan Yue Niang gave them an annoyed glance.

"What are you two doing? Your eldest sister will probably lose money this way; from now on you're not allowed to do this again, and don't take wages from your eldest sister for these two days. When your eldest sister calculates wages, have her deduct two days' pay for you, and just say Mother said so."

Qiao Xuehua smiled and said: "Mother, the eldest sister gives me twenty-five wen a day, and gives the third sister thirty-five wen a day."

"What? That much!"

Lan Yue Niang was utterly surprised.

Twenty-five wen a day, thirty-five wen a day—some shop assistants in town don't even earn that much.

Their wages are usually around twenty to twenty-six wen per day.

Qiao Lanhua said: "We also think it's too much, but the eldest sister says she won't lose money, so let us work for her with peace of mind."

"No, tomorrow we need to get your father to talk to her; how could we offer such high wages?"

Lan Yue Niang felt that Qiao Sheng was just indirectly helping them.

Qiao Hushui also thought the same; the next day, when he took Qiao Lanhua and the others to the shop, he found Qiao Sheng and they chatted a bit about the wages.

"Father, I don't think it's too much; you haven't seen how the third sister works. Although they're young, they're all capable and efficient."

Qiao Sheng suddenly thought of something and said: "Father, when will you be free? Then maybe you could come help me at the shop."

Upon hearing that.

Qiao Hushui tugged at the corner of his mouth and said: "One person earns several tens of wen; several people earn several times that. How much can you earn in a day? Not losing would be strange!"

Her father is still pretty good.

Qiao Sheng raised an eyebrow and said: "Father, who would do a loss-making business? You? Anyway, I won't! Since I can call you over, I must have figured out what to do later—it's just up to whether you're willing."

That's true.

His daughter is so smart—how could she possibly run a loss-making business?

Qiao Hushui fell silent for a moment and said: "Let's talk about this after the busy farming season; we're about to harvest the wheat."

They plant spring wheat here.

Spring wheat can be harvested in April or so.

"Okay!"

Qiao Sheng had no objection.

Not long after.

Qiao Sheng's Qiao's Small Restaurant spread from Lieyang Shuyuan; of course, the nearby people also knew about her eatery, and more people came to eat.

Qiao Xingsheng also heard about the restaurant, but since his family didn't give him much money, he mostly ate at the academy, after all the meals there were cheaper.

Start.

Qiao Xingsheng could still hold back, but after seeing many people eating the fried rice from Qiao's Small Restaurant, he couldn't resist and decided to try it; after all, a portion of fried rice is only a few wen, and he's not unable to afford it.
