176 Waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to Make More Cold Cakes
Before she reached home, Lin Xiaoyue saw her brother and nephew waiting for her by the road.
“Xiaoyue!” They were very happy to see her and waved at her excitedly.
Xiao Qing stood behind Lin Xiaozhi. Although he didn’t say anything, he looked at the ox-cart with excitement.
“Hehe, why did you guys come out?” Lin Xiaoyue asked with a smile.
“I’m waiting for you to come back to make cold cakes! All the cold cakes at home have been sold out!” Lin Xiaozhi said excitedly, his little face flushed red.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up and she quickly went to the two children.
“Aunt Xiaoyue.” Xiao Qing stepped forward and bowed with a smile on his face.
Lin Xiaoyue shifted her b.u.t.t.
“Come up and tell me everything.”
“Yes.” Xiao Qing smiled as he replied and got onto the ox-cart
Then, Lin Xiaoyue found out that not long after she and Aunt w.a.n.g left in the morning, her mother carried the cold cakes and brought the two children to the field to sell them.
They were all from the same village and her cold cakes were not expensive, so many people bought them.
They tried and thought it was delicious, so many people wanted to buy more.
Later, as the sun rose, more and more people bought the cold cakes. As a result, their cold cakes were sold out very quickly.
Those who had tried cold cakes asked Liu Shi to make more, saying that they would buy more tomorrow.
For those who didn’t manage to try it, they also asked her to make more so they could buy some.
Then, the two children got excited. They couldn’t help with the work at home, so they came out to wait for Lin Xiaoyue by the roadside.
Lin Xiaoyue was happy to hear that the cold cakes were more popular than she thought.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao.
At this moment, Li Xiao was busy digging a pond in the stream.
It was obvious he knew that her business was going to grow.
“You’re back!” Li Xiao heard the sounds and stopped what he was doing. He looked up at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and responded.
“Ruyi Restaurant has increased the number of orders, and I’ve bought another 20 wooden buckets. We do need more ponds.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“I’m afraid 20 won’t be enough. If you’re free, dig more ponds today.”
“Alright, leave that to me,” Li Xiao replied.
He thought so too.
Li Xiao thought of something and said, “your mother made some rice. When it’s ready, get the two children to come and get me.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled
“You don’t have to worry about grinding the rice, mom and I can do it.”
“Ruyi Restaurant ordered a lot of cold cakes in the afternoon. I’m going to set up a stall in front of Qingyun Academy, and the villagers might come to buy more. The ponds need to be ready in the afternoon. You focus on that first.”
Li Xiao thought about it and agreed.
Lin Xiaoyue then returned to the kitchen.
When Liu Shi heard the commotion, she came out of the kitchen.
When she saw her daughter, she quickly came over and told her daughter about the cold cakes she had sold in the morning.
“Aunt Huang, Uncle w.a.n.g, and Grandma Chen’s families all ordered cold cakes. They asked me to send the cold cakes directly to them in the afternoon after they were done. I’ve already taken the money!” Liu Shi was very excited.
This was the first time she had experienced how easy it was to earn money.
Her daughter could make 4 buckets of cold cake at a time, which was a total of 100 bowls.
The cost wasn’t much, but the profit was considerable.
Today, all the villagers were there to support her. Each family bought 7 or 8 bowls of cold cakes. Some even bought 10. The amount of cold cakes prepared was not enough at all.
“I soaked 20 catties of rice. Go and take a look. If it’s ready, then we should grind it,” Liu Shi said anxiously.
