The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 264 continues the story

After returning home, Xiao Ayu did not play the ant-watching game with Wang Liulang. Instead, she ran to her room and quickly brought out several bamboo jars.

The bamboo jar was filled with maltose, and Xiao Ayu took the candy to find Old Mrs. Wang.

When Grandma Wang saw the jars of maltose, she noticed their golden-yellow, translucent color and faintly sweet aroma. They tasted sweet but not cloying.

The maltose is of excellent quality, and you can tell that the maker is very meticulous. You won't find this kind of maltose in Nanhe Town.

"Did your guardian angel give this to you?" Old Mrs. Wang only tasted a little bit before putting the jar away.

Little Ayu nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, the elf bought them for me, and there are still lots more!"

Little Ayu made a hugging gesture with her hands, indicating that there really was a lot.

When Liu saw the malt candy, her brow twitched: "This looks different from the ones sold on the street; it's much prettier."

The maltose sold on the street, although also a mixture of yellow and red, looked rather murky and didn't taste as sweet.

After taking a bite, Liu murmured, "Oh my, this is so sweet, yet not cloying. I'm afraid even the nobles living in the palace have never tasted such delicious maltose!"

Grandma Wang casually remarked, "That's true."

Liu was a little puzzled: "Mother, do you know what the noble people in the palace eat?"

“They must be eating gold and silver, something different from what ordinary people like us eat.” Old Mrs. Wang said with an unusually natural expression. “Anyway, they would never eat this street food. No matter how good the maltose is, it’s still just maltose, and it won’t catch the eye of the nobles.”

Upon hearing what Old Mrs. Wang said, Liu felt a pang of emotion. Ever since she came to town, she had heard stories from time to time. In the stories told by the storytellers, the nobles in the palace did indeed live on gold and silver, had a large number of servants, and wore fine clothes all the time.

It was an extravagance that ordinary people could never even imagine.

Seeing that both Old Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu liked maltose, Xiao Ayu simply took out the whole bucket from her space.

"Grandma, Mom, there's still so much more!" And the elf said it's very cheap.

In fact, the price is only in a specific sense; after all, it still cost half a point.

Half a point requires the absolute goodwill of five people to obtain, which makes the value of this maltose truly immeasurable.

Old Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu had gotten used to the occasional frightening noises from Little Ayu, and the two quickly packed up and hid the things.

After hiding it, Old Mrs. Wang took out a stack of things. Liu didn't recognize the words written on the stack of things, but she recognized the official seal.

Liu: "Mother, why did you take out the house deeds and land deeds?"

"Of course, we'll find a clean and safe place to put them." After saying that, Grandma Wang handed the things to little Ayu. "Ayu, can you keep these things safe for Grandma?"

Since there's a secret, hidden treasure, it's much safer to leave important things with Ayu than to keep them at home.

"Mother, isn't it a bit inappropriate to give this to Ayu?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, since it's mostly her stuff anyway."

Grandma Wang didn't give all her belongings to Ayu, just in case something went wrong and she couldn't get them back.

If it's stolen by thieves outside, at least you might be able to retrieve it. But if it's inside Ayu's Sumeru Mustard Seed and disappears, then there's really nowhere to find it.

The house and land deeds she gave to Ayu included several dozen acres of land registered under Wang Chuanman's name, which would eventually belong to Ayu.

As for the Wang family's house and shop in Nanhe Town, we can discuss that later. In any case, the family has already accumulated quite a bit of wealth, more than enough to buy a house and a shop for each child in the future, so there's no need to rush to distribute them now.

Little Ayu didn't think too much about it; when her grandmother gave it to her, she carefully placed it in her space.

She also said to Tuanzi, "Elf, this is something Grandma gave me. Please take care of it for me."

Tuanzi: [...] It's just a pile of paper, do I have to make it look like a flower?

In the afternoon, Liu took Wang Chuanman to the street to buy two bolts of cloth and asked Ma to help cut out the patterns. Then, Liu used his not-so-skilled embroidery to make several clothes for Wang Chuanman.

Having previously helped the villagers sell their grain, Wang Chuanman became a familiar face to Manager Zhou. Subsequently, Wang Chuanman transported and purchased Manager Zhou's goods several times, helping Manager Zhou make a fortune.

This made Manager Zhou speak highly of Wang Chuanman. When he learned that Wang Chuanman and his wife had a very deep affection for each other, he often sent Wang Chuanman to Nanhe Town to do things, in order to alleviate the couple's longing for each other.

In two days, Wang Chuanman will be leaving again. Liu Shi suppressed her reluctance and hurriedly helped him prepare his travel things.

Unlike Liu's eagerness, Xiao Ayu's eyes were filled with envy when she learned that Wang Chuanman was about to set off again.

"Dad, when I grow up, I want to follow you and go to many places every day. It's so interesting!" Little Ayu said earnestly.

Wang Chuanman was both amused and exasperated: "Then you'll have to work harder so you can go wherever you want in the future. By then, the money your family earns will definitely be enough, and you won't have to worry about money anymore."

As he spoke, Wang Chuanman began to believe what he was saying, even though it was just something to coax the child.

If things continue to develop this way, perhaps in two or three years, the Wang family will truly become a rising landlord family.

Now, the Wang family has stopped expanding, and they haven't even bought any more land in the village.

The more you manage them, the more mistakes you'll make. It's best to maintain the status quo until they've developed their full potential.

In any case, whether Wang Chuanman was running a business or helping him manage things, he was working hard to expand his network of contacts.

Those connections may play a significant role in the future of the Wang family.

Little Ayu didn't think that far ahead. She was just happy to share her feelings with her family, especially after wearing a new dress and a new headdress. She couldn't hide her joy.

After dinner, everyone washed up and lay in bed. Xiao Ayu then sent her consciousness into the space and ran to find Tuanzi.

"Elf, fairy, tell me a story! I fell asleep before the story was finished last night, but I'll try really hard not to fall asleep tonight!"

Okay, I'll tell you the story quickly, because I'm going to tell you a new story today.

Little Ayu simply found a flower bush, squatted down in it, smelled the fragrance of the flowers around her, and looked at Tuanzi with her little face in her hands.

"Okay, okay, I'm listening!"

Yesterday we talked about how a young man found Yu Baobao and asked her if she knew someone named Murong Ruan.

Little Ayu looked completely confused: "Who is Murong Ruan?"

A new character has appeared in the story, and Xiao Ayu feels that her brain is about to be overwhelmed again.

[She is a person living abroad, not from the Great Chang Kingdom. This person also has a long story; she originally lived in the Western Peak Kingdom...]

Little Ayu usually doesn't interrupt others unless she really can't hold back: "Elf, this story is too long, can you tell me a simpler one?"
