A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 18: Selling Pearls and Investigation

Looking at the expressions of the children, the couple couldn't help laughing. Huang Bo said, "You have to study hard, the fourth child. The responsibility of making money for the family will be handed over to you in the future."

"it is good!"

Huang Mulin thinks she is the happiest person in the world!

After that night, when no one else was around, the whole family suddenly became as energetic as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They were full of energy and vigor in doing anything, but they would restrain themselves when they went out.

Soon they will have a considerable income. There are always some people in the village who are jealous and envious. It would not be a good thing if the rumor got out.

If they went to the town to set up stalls and make money, they would have to think of an excuse to get rid of those villagers who were snooping around, otherwise if something happened it would be difficult to deal with.

Half a month later, He Hui Niang had finished embroidering the pattern on the handkerchief she had brought back last time. Everyone was so excited that they almost didn't sleep all night.

On the second day, Huang Qilin and Huang Xilin were left in the fields to collect the crops and firewood, while the others got on Uncle De's ox cart and headed for Linhai Town.

There was no market in Linhai Town, but there were still many people coming and going, but it was not crowded. After getting off the ox cart, Huang Bo and his family went straight to the embroidery shop.

Yang Lijun was not at the counter, so He Hui Niang asked a familiar waiter to go to the backyard to inform her, and the waiter responded and went to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper." The clerk walked to the backyard and stopped when he was three steps away from Yang Lijun's house. This was her rule: "Mrs. He is here to deliver the goods."

Yang Lijun was reading a letter in the room when she heard the waiter talking outside. He asked while folding the letter, "Did he bring his daughter with him?"

Although the question puzzled the waiter, he still answered truthfully: "There was a little girl wearing a veil."

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Please ask them to wait for a moment."

Yang Lijun quickened her pace in tidying up, put the letter away, closed the door and went to the lobby.

"Mumu." Yang Lijun saw the little girl at a glance. She was still wearing the face scarf she gave her last time. "Do you miss your aunt?"

It was the first time that the guys saw such a cheerful shopkeeper and they couldn't help but be amazed.

"Auntie!" Huang Mulin stretched out his hand for Yang Lijun to hug, and flattered her: "Auntie, how come you have become more beautiful? Did you secretly eat the elixir of Taishang Laojun?"

Yang Lijun even laughed out loud, which was a rare occurrence for her.

This little girl is so adorable.

"If Taishang Laojun gives my aunt the elixir, I will definitely leave it to Mu Mu and make her more beautiful."

"Thank you, auntie. When Mumu sees Grandpa Taishang Laojun in the future, he will ask for a few more elixirs for auntie to eat."

Yang Lijun just couldn't stop laughing. This little girl really pleased her.

"Okay, stop messing with your Aunt Yang." The pride in He Hui Niang's eyes was seriously inconsistent with her tone of voice: "We came here today to ask you for a favor."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

It was rare for Yang Lijun to see He Huiniang asking her for help.

"Would it be convenient for me to go to the backyard and explain it to you in detail?"

"Let's go."

Yang Lijun carried Huang Mulin to the backyard without hesitation. He Huiniang asked Huang Bo and the others to take a walk and followed them to the backyard.

He was brought to the reception room, Huang Mulin was placed on a chair, a glass of water was poured for He Huiniang, and she was asked to sit down freely. He then took a small biscuit from the snack box and put it in Huang Mulin's hand, and sat down himself.

"How can I help you?"

Yang Lijun's directness made He Huiniang feel a little relieved. At least this attitude showed that she was willing to help and did not intend to shirk her responsibility from the beginning.

She took out the pearls wrapped in a small piece of cloth from her arms, put them on the table and opened them.

Yang Lijun watched her movements and couldn't help but stare when the thing was revealed.

Golden pearls!

Three!

The quality is very good, slightly larger than the common pearls on the market. Although there are a few milky white pearls that look of poor quality, they can be used as medicine. There are also about ten round and flawless ones.

"Last time we went to the market, we happened to buy some seashells at the dock. When we got back and smashed them open, we found these beads." He Hui Niang said carefully: "But these things are valuable. Our ancestors were all peasants. We don't have any connections and can't find a suitable place to sell them for money... Most importantly, we are afraid of being coveted by others."

Yang Lijun understood.

She took out one of the best golden pearls and placed it in front of Yang Lijun: "Sister Yang, this one is a reward for your help."

Huang Mulin took small bites of the biscuit and looked up to carefully observe Yang Lijun's expression and eyes.

Yang Lijun thought for a while, then took the pearl in front of her and said, "I'll help you with this."

"But buying and selling takes some time. I have to send it out to evaluate the price. I can only get the money back to you after it is sold. Is that okay with you?"

He Hui Niang quickly nodded and agreed, saying, "Thank you, Sister Yang, I believe you."

Yang Lijun smiled, looked down at Huang Mulin who had been paying attention to her, and pinched her little face: "Mumu, aren't you worried that your auntie will lie to you?"

"Auntie won't." Huang Mulin nodded and said, "Mumu believes in Auntie."

"Then Auntie, for the sake of Mu Mu's trust, must also get this done."

There were no twists and turns, no temptations, it was just decided.

The fate between people is truly amazing. Yang Lijun would often think of this day in the future, and always felt that everything was destined.

He Hui Niang delivered the handkerchiefs she brought with her and took some back to continue embroidering. After saying goodbye to Yang Lijun, she walked towards the dock again at the request of Huang Haolin and Huang Jinlin.

There are fewer fishermen on the dock today than last time, probably because they sold out their catch early and went home.

The dock warehouse occupies a large area and is occupied by two large families, the Tang family and the Song family. The two families probably have an agreement and there is basically no friction. Each has its own rules and does not interfere with each other.

Most of the porters who come here to work are familiar with each other. Apart from the iron rule that they must not disclose information about the goods or the owners of the goods, they usually get along well by eating and drinking together.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Huang Mulin asked.

"You can make food." Huang Haolin pointed at the workers working at the dock: "Look at those people, they are doing hard work. Normally, they must have a full meal to have the strength to work. Besides, the wages paid by the dock workers are higher than those of ordinary workers."

Then he continued, "There is a food stall at the end of the street. They only sell steamed buns, wontons, pancakes, noodles, etc. The amount of food should not be enough for a porter of this level of consumption, but I don't think he would be willing to spend more money on it, and going to a restaurant is not likely to happen either."

"According to what you said, this meal cannot be made?"

Huang Jinlin frowned. He only knew how to cook. He had been learning cooking from his sister for some time and had made some achievements. This conclusion made him feel a little disappointed.

"We need to make food." Huang Mulin took over the conversation, "We need to make lunch boxes."

"box lunch?"

"A kind of food that can be taken away, with rice and vegetables, so that the uncles can have a full meal."

"There are rice and vegetables? The cost is not low. If the price is too high, it may not work." Huang Bo said worriedly.

"Small profits but quick turnover."

Only Huang Haolin could understand what Huang Mulin said.
