Sixty cents! Aunt Li almost cried out and glared at Zhao Qiqi fiercely. What did this woman dig up from the mountain that was so valuable?

What on earth is this pepper?

She tried to calm down and listened carefully. If she knew what it was, she could sell it. Even if she sold it at a lower price, she would still make a huge profit!

What on earth is this? It’s so expensive, even more expensive than meat.

"Brother, it's time to cook, but Aunt Li hasn't even gone to cook yet. Did she not get any water? Brother and I will go and check with Aunt Li. We don't even know where Brother Li Quan has gone, and he doesn't even want to come and help Aunt Li."

Why didn't he understand what Santu said? What did Aunt Li have to do with him? Besides, they couldn't get water themselves, so how could they help Aunt Li get water?

What's more, he would not help Aunt Li who bullied his mother like this.

"Second idiot, your brother is right. You are very strong, go and help."

Since his mother had said so, he had to agree no matter how reluctant he was.

He angrily grabbed Aunt Li's hand and said, "Aunt, let's go. My mother asked me to help you."

Aunt Li couldn't withstand such force at all and was almost dragged away.

"No!"

Before she could even make her voice aloud, Ersha pulled her back to her home.

Santu followed behind them, blocking Aunt Li's view so that she could not see anything.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I can take out these 500 kilograms, but it's just the chili powder that hasn't been made into chili."

This powder is more convenient than sauce, and she doesn't need to buy a jar to store it.

Although Manager Zhang will send the latter jar back.

"Please wait a moment, shopkeeper."

She returned to her room and closed the door.

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't mind. After all, it was a unique business and some things needed to be kept confidential. It was normal.

Zhao Qiqi directly bought cloth bags that looked more like those of this era from the system and filled them with 500 kilograms of chili powder, a total of five bags.

She opened the door and pretended she had just pulled it out from under the bed.

Since Santu was not around, she wasn't worried that the other children would think too much.

After all, in their hearts, whatever Zhao Qiqi does is right and they will not question her.

"This is the powder I ground from the chili peppers I picked in the mountains. It hasn't been made into chili sauce yet, but the spicy taste is still the same. If the shopkeeper wants it, I can give it to you at a lower price..."

Manager Zhang waved his hand and said, "No need, Aunt Zhao, since I'm the one who came to you for help, just follow the price I mentioned before, sixty cents per catty." A catty of chili peppers can be used to make many dishes, and sixty cents is not expensive for their restaurant, not to mention that it is a unique and scarce commodity.

Now that things had come to this, Zhao Qiqi had no reason to refuse. After all, she was short of money, very short of it.

"Then do as the shopkeeper says. Oh, by the way, this is the 360 ​​kilograms of taro we just mixed. After drying, only 200 kilograms are left. But we can't eat it until at least six or seven days later."

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed heartily, "Okay, take them back together so that you or I don't have to carry them into town. Two hundred catties of taro is six taels of silver, and five hundred catties of chili powder is thirty taels, a total of thirty-six taels."

Shopkeeper Zhang asked the people accompanying him to take out some silver and hand it to Zhao Qiqi... After deducting the cost just now, he made a profit of thirty taels, plus the previous thirty-one taels, it was only sixty-one taels.

It’s far from enough for one hundred taels.

But Zhao Qiqi had no intention of borrowing money from Shopkeeper Zhang. They had a cooperative relationship before. Once she borrowed money from Shopkeeper Zhang, she would be inferior to him. When it came time to discuss business, she would have to be polite.

So Zhao Qiqi asked Dashuan to help Manager Zhang's people move all the things onto the carriage. It was so crowded that there was no room left. Manager Zhang couldn't even stretch his arms and legs and looked a little embarrassed. He ordered the servants to leave quickly.

Zhao Qiqi put the money away and made sure that no one saw it. If they were seen, they would have no way to protect themselves and would be robbed.

Since the system hasn't collected enough 100 taels yet, she'll go out and see what's going on in the village. If the water shortage problem can be solved, it will be convenient for her to use the spiritual spring in the future.

"Hey, Aunt Dashuan, how come I feel like you look different after not seeing you for a few days?" Aunt Zhang's words were filled with jealousy. How could she not notice the new clothes Zhao Qiqi was wearing?

Zhao Qiqi took a step back and rejected Aunt Zhang's impulse to touch her with her dark hands.

"You're not a little girl anymore, why do you look different? Aunt Zhang is really joking more and more."

They are really rich now. I saw their family a few days ago and they couldn't even afford to eat, so Gu Dashuan ran to the old house to beg for food. Today, Dashuan's mother put on new clothes. It seems that the business in this town is really good.

Aunt Zhang's eyes rolled around. She had no son, so she had to rely on herself for everything and was more decisive than others.

Aunt Zhang's words attracted the attention of others, but no one paid much attention to them.

At this time, the head of the village was mediating a conflict over fetching water and was also trying to find a way to solve the current problem. There was a cunning guy named Zhang Huatou, Aunt Zhang's man, who did not stand in front, but stared at Zhao Qiqi.

Oh my god, why does it feel like Dashuan’s mother has become more beautiful?

Zhao Qiqi calmly avoided Zhang Huatou's sight and planned to walk forward a little to listen to what Li Zheng was going to do.

Dashuan and Sipang protected Zhao Qiqi on both sides, fearing that the people crowding around her would hurt her.

"There are still many birds and animals flying over the mountain. They haven't left yet. I guess there is still water on the mountain." The village head comforted everyone and signaled them not to get excited: "Well, I have some water stored at home. If you are short of water, you can come to my house first."

This emergency situation certainly does not mean that you can carry a bucket and leave. Instead, if you are really thirsty, you can go to the village head's house to ask for water. Otherwise, everyone has to carry a wooden bucket to the village head's house to fetch water as backup water for their own home.

"Gu Dashuan, Gu Afu, Gu Xin, Tiedan, Li Quan, you young and strong guys, come with me to the mountain to find a water source. If you can't find one, we will replace you."

"Everyone else should go back to their homes first. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will send him to the police."

The head of the village is usually very easy-going, but at times like this, his majesty is revealed. They are all farmers who work hard in the fields, and they tremble with fear when they hear the word "official".

The crowd immediately scattered, fearing that they would get into trouble.

"Let's go."

The village head asked the people who were named to follow him and take some tools with them as they would need to dig the soil.

Li Quan spat secretly. He didn't come here to fetch water, but to watch the fun. Gu Yong, who had a grudge against him, was fighting with others, and he was just watching the fun when he was called to go up the mountain.

Forget it, forget it, when I get on board, I’ll just hide away and be lazy.
