Chapter 16
s.p.a.ce and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 16 - First Money Earned (第一笔金)
Qiao Hongye, of course, didn’t know of Qiao Weimin’s filthy intentions . When she thought about Jing Yunzhao not being able to attend school anymore, it made her mood a little better .
So she obediently made breakfast .
But Qiao Hongye had never done any housework . Her breakfast, of course, was hard to swallow, and she was scolded again by Qiao Weimin .
While all of that was happening in the Qiaos’ house, Jing Yunzhao had already arrived at the county town .
She only had a little more than 10 RMB on her, excluding bus money . Her scholars.h.i.+p money was limited, and the Qiaos have never given her living expenses . She sometimes earned money from tutoring elementary or junior high schoolkids, but she was still tight on money .
(T/N: RMB (renminbi) is the currency of China . 1 RMB = $0 . 15 = €0 . 14)
But this time, she found a way to make money .
Many of their fruits had been left to rot and wasted because of how busy the funeral made them . Jing Yunzhao took the apple and orange seeds when the Qiaos weren’t home and kept them . When she planted them in her s.p.a.ce at night, they grew very well .
The water coming out of the stone dragon fountain had the ability to speed up the growing process, but she has to manage the ratios well .
If she wanted to rush the growth of normal fruits, the ratio of the fountain water to the well water needed to be 500:1 . If she were to put more than that, the fruit tree wouldn’t die but the fruits would grow to be abnormally large . If she were to bring them outside, there would definitely be a huge fuss .
She originally thought that the water coming out of the fountain was water from the well, but she found out otherwise after testing it .
The water in the well was very normal and could be drank directly . It made it convenient for her because she didn’t need to get water from the outside to water her plants .
After getting off the bus, Jing Yunzhao found a remote area and took out a wicker basket from her s.p.a.ce . The basket was filled with apples . It was a basket weaved from the twigs of an apple tree she grew in her s.p.a.ce so it was very st.u.r.dy .
She carried the basket weighing more than a 100 jin on her back . It was very heavy .
(T/N: Jin (斤) is a unit of weight . 1 jin = 0 . 5 kilograms = ~1 . 1 lbs)
Luckily, the place she wanted to go wasn’t very far . Before long, she placed down the weighty basket and prepared to sell her apples .
Oranges were sold cheap . She was in a rush to earn money, so she left the oranges in her s.p.a.ce . But the apples she had were red and round . They looked much better than the ones in grocery stores so they will be easy to sell .
As expected, someone came even before 10 minutes had pa.s.sed .
“How are these apples priced?” The person touched the apples with a face of satisfaction and moved forward to smell them . She kept thinking that these apples had a nice, fragrant smell to them . They were unlike the apples of other places that were covered in pesticide .
Jing Yunzhao was in charge of buying all of the necessities for the Qiaos, so she knew the average price of the apples .
“Aunty, six RMB per jin,” Jing Yunzhao smiled and said politely .
It might not have been cheap, but the apples were of good quality . Compared to the stores with the same price, her apples were better by a lot .
The woman was already curious about the young seller . When she heard Jing Yunzhao’s polite voice, she had a good impression of her, so she didn’t hesitate to bag about 10 apples .
Jing Yunzhao didn’t have a lot of apples to sell, but she earned 30 RMB within the blink of an eye . With the woman starting things off, Jing Yunzhao’s business only got better and better .
The basket was empty within four hours .
Touching the 700 RMB in her pocket made Jing Yunzhao a little excited .
She had lived for so many years in her past . She had always lived for others . She had done so many jobs, yet she was always penniless .
(T/N: The MC did live a short life and die in her twenties . )
But in this life, she’ll never live like that again!
