The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Shopkeeper Tong was thinking that the previous owner felt that Ruyi Tower's business was not as good as before and was planning to close it down.

He and his whole family lived in Dayi Town. Once Ruyi Tower closed, they would have to move to another place with their owner.

"Uncle Tong, have you ever seen jelly before?"

Shopkeeper Tong glanced at the girl and said, "I've never seen her before."

"The weather is hot, this jelly can be fried or eaten cold."

"No matter how it is prepared, jelly tastes appetizing and refreshing, suitable for all ages. If you sell it here, your business will definitely be booming."

Lin Xiaoman praised it highly.

Since it is a new product, it is valuable because it is rare.

Even though Lin Dajiang knew that the jelly was made with white flour, he was still shocked by his daughter's mouth.

It seems like this kid wants to make up for what he missed in the past twelve years?

No one in their family is as good at speaking as Xiaoman.

Shopkeeper Tong stroked his beard, and Lin Xiaoman felt that if he continued to stroke it, his beard would eventually become bald.

"Are you planning to sell the made jelly to Ruyilou?" asked Shopkeeper Tong.

"No, I just sell the recipe for making cold noodles."

Lin Xiaoman still had a smiling face. Shopkeeper Tong didn't even stroke his beard this time, and his eyes lingered on Lin Xiaoman and Lin Dajiang with confusion.

Lin Dajiang nodded immediately, and Shopkeeper Tong cleared up his doubts, then looked at the girl and asked, "How much is the recipe for this cold noodle?"

"I'll buy it out for 20 taels, but there's one condition. There's a market twice a month in Dayi Town, and my family also sells jelly. It's four cents a bowl."

Lin Dajiang steadied himself and almost dropped his jaw.

My daughter directly asked for twenty taels, twenty taels!

Shopkeeper Tong frowned.

Four cents a bowl, if you put it in Ruyi Tower, you won't make much money.

"Miss, I'm not sure about your cold noodles. I have to give it to the host to try first." Shopkeeper Tong thought it over and over again and decided to give it a try.

"That's great. Here's another bowl."

Lin Xiaoman took another bowl of jelly from the bucket and gave it to Shopkeeper Tong.

Shopkeeper Tong left a few people in the private room, took a bucket and hurried out through the small door in the back kitchen, and after many twists and turns, he arrived at an inconspicuous house.

Half an hour later, Shopkeeper Tong came out with a smile on his face, the bucket in his hand was empty and he had twenty taels of silver in his arms.

He walked in a hurry, fearing that the little girl and her family could not wait any longer.

When I returned to Ruyi Tower, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw several people sitting quietly in the box.

"Girl, the master has agreed."

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "But doing business is not just about talking, we have to sign a contract."

Shopkeeper Tong took out a deed signed by the master and placed it in front of Lin Dajiang.

Lin Dajiang glanced at the contract. Fortunately, he had attended a private school for two years and could recognize most of the words in it.

He read down word by word very carefully.

Lin Xiaoman approached Lin Dajiang and glanced at the deed. She found that except for some traditional Chinese characters that she was not familiar with, she recognized all the other characters.

The deed clearly stated that the seller could sell the jelly in Jialin County, but only by himself and not in large quantities to buyers other than Ruyilou.

Lin Xiaoman found that the owner of Ruyi Tower was quite generous.

They actually allowed their family to do business in Jialin County.

The buyer on the deed had already signed. Lin Dajiang looked at it and thought there was no problem. He turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoman.

"Daddy, I can't read." Lin Xiaoman smiled innocently.

After Lin Dajiang signed and sealed the agreement, Manager Tong placed twenty taels of silver in front of Lin Dajiang.

Lin Jingzhe was dazzled by the silver in front of him. This... this was the first time he had seen so much silver in his life.

Not to mention Lin Jingzhe, even Lin Dajiang saw it for the first time.

His voice was trembling. "Boss, could you please change some copper coins?"

Seeing that the deal was done, Shopkeeper Tong smiled and gave Lin Dajiang two hundred coins.

"Uncle Tong, making jelly takes some effort. Who do you think I can let learn from me?" Lin Xiaoman asked.

"No hurry." Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile, "The master has arranged for someone to come tomorrow, so I'll just have to trouble you to work harder tomorrow."

After getting the money, Lin Dajiang followed the shopkeeper to the government office to stamp the deed.

The round trip took another half hour.

On the way back to Shanglin Village, Lin Dajiang had silver and copper coins in his pocket and a deed stamped by the government in his arms, and he felt like he was still in a dream.

The whole family remained silent. Lin Xiaoman didn't care about the twenty taels at all. Her goal was to earn more money.

But twenty taels was something Li Taohua could not even think of.

Twenty taels! How many years of digging in the fields would it take to save that much?

In the past, before the Lin family split up, the whole family could only save two or three taels of silver a year by working on the land.

After deducting the annual tuition for my third brother, the whole family could only live frugally.

And now, Xiaoman’s jelly is sold for twenty taels!

Li Taohua glanced at Lin Xiaoman from time to time.

Her daughter is indeed a blessed child, and the old people in the village are really good at fortune-telling.

The family who got the money were afraid that others would find out, so they didn't dare to buy anything.

Each of them bought a meat bun to fill their stomach and returned to the village. At this moment, the cart pulled by Lin Dajiang was empty except for a few buckets and two dolls.

When we returned to Shanglin Village, it was not yet dark.

The whole family pretended to be dejected and went home with sad faces.

The moment the door closes.

Lin Jingzhe patted his cheeks and said, "Oh, I'm so tired! I didn't expect that pretending would be so tiring."

Li Taohua glared at her silly son and said, "Then you better pretend well and don't let anyone know about it in the village."

"Mother, am I that stupid?" Lin Jingzhe was hurt and muttered softly.

Lin Dajiang still had silver in his arms. He walked into the main room happily and put eighteen taels of silver and two hundred coins on the table.

I didn’t feel it just now, but now looking at the glittering silver, my eyes are almost blinded.

After being happy, Lin Dajiang felt inexplicably lost.

"This money was earned by Xiaoman. As a father, I really don't have any ability."

"Dad, you can't say such discouraging words. I am your and mom's child!" Lin Xiaoman was really shocked by Lin Dajiang's thoughts.

You have to know that in ancient times, women had a low status, otherwise why did Old Lady Lin favor boys over girls?

Why are all the girls in the village so thin and small, while some boys have chubby faces?

"Boss, Xiaoman is our family's lucky star. The wild rabbit and the long-bearded insect were all discovered by Xiaoman." Li Taohua agreed.

"Well, isn't Xiaoman a little lucky star?" Lin Dajiang smiled gently, and the loss he had just felt quickly disappeared, replaced by full of pride.

"Our lives will definitely get better and better. When we have money in the future, we will buy a house in Dayi Town and live there!"

Lin Dajiang looked at his wife and children and made a secret vow.

He must be more diligent.

You need to be diligent in the fields, and even more diligent in catching long-bearded insects.

With a gleam in her eyes, Li Taohua hid the silver in a broken wooden box, and then hid the broken wooden box in the mud hole under the bed.

Lin Xiaoman held his forehead with his hand. This way of hiding money could only be used to protect against gentlemen.

Fortunately, everyone in Shanglin Village knew that the Lin family had a scholar, and after the family split up, they were very poor.

Otherwise, her house would have been robbed several times.
