Chapter 208: A Helper
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xue Erfu took a big bowl from Yu Hongyan’s hand. He only had time to eat his dinner now. He smiled and said, “Didn’t Jiang Yue already say it’s called silver thread candy? Just treat it as silver thread candy, not caramel candy.”
“It’s good to call it silver thread candy, it’s really appropriate now that I look at it.” Liu Guixia and the others laughed. They all felt that there was no more appropriate name than this.
After talking about the silver thread candy for a while, Xue Sifu said, “I went to the village head’s house to borrow a scale. We agreed that I’ll go to town to sell candy tomorrow. The caramel here has already been pulled, so it’s too early to sell them. But no matter when I go to sell them, I have to know how much caramel I have.”
Without waiting for Xue Sifu to leave, Xue Wufu jumped over like a monkey and noisily said, “Sifu, Sifu, tomorrow Erfu also has to deal with the oil matter. Let me accompany you to sell the candy.”
Liu Guixia smiled. “Sifu, let Wufu go with you. You’ll at least have a helper.”
“Sure,” Xue Sifu had no objections.
In this village, only the village head had a scale, which was also given by the government. When Xue Sifu borrowed the scale, they began to measure how much caramel candy they had made in the past three days.
Afraid that they would make a fool of themselves if they weighed it wrong, Xue Sifu and the others only confirmed that there were more than 33 kilograms of sugar to be sold in town after weighing it three times.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just stood aside and watched.
Jiang Yue felt that Xue Sifu’s willingness to give up so much sugar under such conditions was very good.
After weighing, Xue Sifu also started to calculate the cost.
“The caramel will be hundred and ten coins per kilogram. There are 33 kilograms here, so that’s 6160 coins. After deducting the capital, the capital is more than 2900 coins, and we can still earn about 3000 coins.”
Xue Wufu immediately called out happily.
Everyone knew that 1000 coins was equivalent to one silver.
Xue Sifu knew his younger brother very well. The moment Xue Wufu was about to cry out, he covered his mouth with his hand to prevent others from listening.
It wasn’t until Xue Wufu had calmed down that Xue Sifu retracted his hand. “Don’t you know that you can’t reveal your wealth?”
“I’m just excited.” Xue Wufu said. His voice was much softer, but he was still excited.
This was much more profitable than farming.
The money was also coming in quickly.
Xue Dafu and the others were excited as well, but not as excited as Xue Wufu.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were still calm.
The next day, before dawn, Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu ate some of the leftovers from last night and went to town with the candy. The two of them didn’t need to discuss transportation and chose to walk to town. They didn’t need to be so frugal at home, but they still couldn’t change their habit of being thrifty.
When Jiang Yue started eating breakfast, the sky was already bright.
While they were eating, Xua Yan, Li Qingshu, and the others all came. Even Xue Dagui came.
However, Xua Yan, Dagui, and the others wouldn’t go to town. They had agreed yesterday that only Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Erfu, Xua Yan, and Li Qingshu would go to town. The others would stay back. It wouldn’t be good for too many people to go. Everyone just came to take a look and felt that it was too much trouble for them, even though it wasn’t their business.
After breakfast, Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan, “Where’s the thing you drew?”
Xue Yan reached out to take it out. He had folded it in his arms when he got up in the morning.
“I don’t need to see it,” Jiang Yue said. “I’m just asking. Don’t forget to bring it.”
“I didn’t forget.” While saying this, Xue Yan also retracted his hand.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yue said.
