Chapter 25 Doubts

Jiang Zhiluo sat on the stool, looking at the wheat on the dustpan, thinking about things.

After Mrs. Cui finished cleaning up, she hurried over and said, "Zhiluo, if you need to do anything else, tell your mother, and she will do it. It's cold outside, so please go inside and warm yourself up."

 Although spring has arrived, it is still cold at night.

 The family doesn’t have the means to buy cloth to make clothes, so what everyone wears is relatively thin.

Mrs. Cui is worried that Jiang Zhiluo is freezing.

Jiang Zhiluo has wood-type powers. Even though it's still very weak, she can still keep warm, so she doesn't feel cold even when she's staying in the yard.

Jiang Zhiluo feels that having a good mother-in-law is still very important.

She smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. I'm thinking I'll take the brown sugar to the town tomorrow morning and sell it to see what the effect is."

 “If it’s good, I should be able to earn dozens of pennies a day.”

 “In this case, I think we will continue to do the brown sugar business.”

Mrs. Cui knew as soon as she heard this that Zhi Luo had rules and ideas in mind.

 Let alone dozens of pennies a day, Mrs. Cui was very excited just thinking about it.

She knows the price of brown sugar. A piece of brown sugar can cost two cents. If all the brown sugar is sold, even if it is cheaper, it will only cost about fifty cents. For thirty days a month, it will be about fifteen hundred cents.

  That's a lot of silver.

If the Duke's palace is still in good condition now, and there is no crime at all, one tael of silver will not be able to get into Mrs. Cui's eyes at all.

But now there is no Cui Guogong Mansion. In the village, they are even reluctant to eat white flour and often don't have enough to eat. She has realized how much one tael of silver means.

Ordinary farmers may not be able to save even one tael of silver in their hands after working hard for a whole year.

 Let alone a month, that is twelve taels of silver per year.

 In this way, the whole family can afford to eat and feel full by eating white rice every meal.

 At this time, for Mrs. Cui, food and clothing are her first thoughts.

 Because only those who have enough to eat can survive.

Mrs. Cui excitedly held Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "Zhiluo, I know you are capable, so I will listen to you and arrange whatever you want."

“After breakfast tomorrow, my mother will accompany you to set up a stall.”

Mrs. Cui thought she could help out from time to time by staying with her daughter-in-law. As an old woman, she was protecting her, and no one dared to bully Zhiluo.

Seeing that Mrs. Cui supported her, Jiang Zhiluo was also happy and said: "Mom, if everything can be sold, we will make more brown sugar later and buy some beets in the village."

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "Okay, just leave this to me. I have become familiar with the villagers over the past year. If we go to their homes to buy beets, they will definitely be happy."

"Last winter, every household also harvested a lot of beets. Just like cabbage and radishes, everyone couldn't eat that much. Naturally, they wanted to sell some to supplement household income. However, these vegetables are grown by every household and cannot be sold in stalls. If we buy them, They don’t have to set up a stall to sell, they can sell at their doorstep, so they are naturally willing to sell to us.”

 Old Madam Cui still knows the market conditions in the village.

And I would probably be happy to know that they come to buy beets.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Then we will charge it according to the market price, one penny per catty."

 “It will definitely be collected.”

 The two people discussed for a while and then entered the house.

When Jiang Zhiluo entered the house after taking a bath, she saw Cui Hejin reading a book with a pine oil candle lit.

 The dim yellow lights in the house swayed, giving the Tudor room a warm feeling.

Jiang Zhiluo wiped her hair and sat down at the table.

 With this light, she can do something.

But being so close, Jiang Zhiluo could vaguely smell the faint scent of ink on his body.

Jiang Zhiluo took a piece of paper and used a charcoal pen to draw building blocks and toys on it.

Her father can do this kind of simple carpentry work, so it should be easier to build this kind of building block toy. Her parents were so kind to her younger brothers and sisters, and she wanted to do something.

 It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

 It’s better to find a way for parents to get some skills and make some money.

 The bellows was troublesome to make, and her father might not be able to make one in a day.

 But things like building blocks are simple, and you can make several sets in a day.

Furthermore, she went to the town to inspect the market and knew that many people were willing to accept expensive items when buying things for their children.

And there are too few toys on the market, unlike in the technological age where there are all kinds of toys.

 Many children have nothing to play with, so they just play some games on the street.

  She believes that if the bricks are made, they will be more popular.

 Thinking about this, she began to draw building blocks on the paper.

While Cui Hejin was writing silently on the paper, he looked at the pine oil candle on the table. Under the light of the candle, there seemed to be a clear light flowing in his eyes.

 When he looked at Jiang Zhiluo again, he naturally noticed what she had drawn on the paper.

 The table is really too small and it is easy to see.

 He looked slightly shocked.

 He had never seen this method of painting.

Cui Hejin's hand holding the brush froze slightly, and after a pause, he slowly put the pen down, and then looked sideways at Jiang Zhiluo.

They have been married for four days, but Cui Hejin has never seriously looked at his little wife.

At this moment, he discovered that she felt different from what he had in mind.

It doesn’t look like you are illiterate.

 When she was painting, her expression was serious and focused, and she had a different kind of atmosphere.

After thinking for a while, Cui Hejin's expression became condensed, as if he had doubts about something.

Jiang Zhiluo was so busy thinking about how to do business to make money and how to let her parents have a craft to make money that she didn't even notice the change in Cui Hejin's expression.

Just as she was writing and drawing, Cui Hejin suddenly said Qingrun: "I will go to the town tomorrow."

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned when she suddenly heard Cui Hejin's voice.

She raised her head slightly to look at Cui Hejin, but suddenly she met his beautiful and deep eyes, which seemed to have a bewitching look, which made her heart skip a beat.

This man is really a monster!

Jiang Zhiluo turned her gaze away slightly, nodded and said, "Well, I will also set up a stall with my mother to sell brown sugar tomorrow morning."

As she said this, Jiang Zhiluo seemed to have thought of something, took out twenty coins from her pocket and said, "Here's this for you. If you can't come back at noon, remember to buy something to eat in the town, don't go hungry."

Jiang Zhiluo put the few hundred pennies left over from her previous shopping in the space.

 The space is better for storing things.

 Easy to take out.

Cui Hejin thought Jiang Zhiluo would ask him what he was doing in the town, but she didn't ask.

Jiang Zhiluo felt that since Cui Hejin said that before, then she would do her duty as a wife, and she would not interfere with anything else.

 “No, it’s your money.”

Jiang Zhiluo curled her lips and said, "Do you want to distinguish it so clearly?"
