All matters concerning the greenhouse were handed over to Tang Laosan and his team.

These past few days, ever since Tang Qingshu brought back the books, Tang Qiyue spends an hour every day learning to read and write, and the same goes for Tang Shuyao, Nannan, and Xiaohua.

Sometimes, the Lin family, who had prepared lunch, would sit on a small stool and listen nearby. Even Zhao Bao, who was held by Tang Qiyue, would cleverly utter a word or two from time to time, making everyone laugh.

Naituanzi's pronunciation was not very standard, but he was very smart. Tang Qingshu would often teach him a word, and after Tang Qiyue read it once, Zhaobao would follow suit.

After a few interactions, Zhao Bao earned a reputation as a smart person among everyone.

Tang Qiyue also used her intelligence and was able to draw inferences about other situations, successfully leaving Tang Qingshu and others dumbfounded, and finally allowed her to teach herself.

After gaining the reputation of being able to read and write, Tang Qiuyue found it much easier to do things.

That day, at the agreed time, Tang Qiyue had breakfast and hurried to the town. But this time, Xie Changjin did not follow her, as he seemed to be very busy all of a sudden.

Tang Qiyue didn't think much about it and drove the donkey cart towards Linjiang Town. After the snow and rain stopped, the donkey that had rested for several months finally started to work!

Tang Qiuyue gave the little donkey with shiny and smooth fur a very common name, Damao.

Damao seemed to be able to understand what people said. He would do whatever Tang Qiyue asked him to do and would ignore what others said. This made Hu Lao Da and his friends extremely jealous. They insisted on raising a donkey that would only listen to them.

Tang Qiyue drove the donkey cart and chuckled. Damao was so obedient not only because she saved it, but also because she took the trouble to feed it apples and other delicious food in the space every day. Kindness was rewarded with sincerity!

In the furniture shop, the carpenter stood at the door expectantly.

The profits that Tang Qiyue brought him were really too terrifying, and there were too many wooden items sold today, so he couldn't do anything else.

The donkey slowly stopped, and Tang Qiyue jumped off the cart. When she looked up, she saw Carpenter Sun's shining eyes and paused, "Master Sun, what are you doing..."

Master Sun came over and said, "You are finally here, come in and talk."

So, when Tang Qiyue was about to speak, Carpenter Sun directly took out one or two taels of silver and gave it to her. "This is the money from the children's dining chairs during this period. I didn't make much money. We agreed to split it 50-50. This is yours."

"Ms. Tang, you don't know how convenient this children's dining chair is. At first I was worried that it would not sell well, but I used it for my own child, and the neighbors next door saw it and liked it too. As time went by, almost every household in the area where I live has ordered a children's dining chair."

Tang Qiyue was surprised. She didn't expect that an ordinary and convenient children's dining chair could bring her an income of one or two taels of silver.

Although it’s not much, but mosquito meat is still meat!

"Well, I know my request is not ethical, but Miss Tang, can we continue our cooperation? Don't worry, it's still 50-50." God knows, his carpentry shop has never been as busy as it has been recently. Not only is it packed with orders, but people from the neighboring town have also come to order custom-made children's dining chairs.

Tang Qiyue nodded, "Okay." She thought about it and thought that maybe she could draw some other modern wooden furniture and cooperate with Master Sun. This way, she would have multiple sources of income and the progress of the contract would be greatly accelerated.

Master Sun was so excited, "Since we are cooperating, I will tell you the order quantity so that you can have an idea."

Therefore, Tang Qiyue was also surprised that a children's dining chair was so popular. After all, it was easiest to make money from women and children, so she let it go.

"Master Sun, are the furniture I ordered last time ready?" Tang Qiyue asked when the other party was taking a break and drinking water.

"It's all done, it's all done, it's all placed in the backyard." Master Sun quickly led Tang Qiuyue to the backyard.

Tang Qiyue looked carefully at the exquisite and brand new furniture, especially the dressing table with a bronze mirror embedded in it, which she liked even more.

With the help of Master Sun, Tang Qiuyue asked Damao to pull a small half of the furniture, and rented a ox cart to send the rest back to Baile Village. They couldn't let Damao get tired!

"Miss Tang, if you have anything good, don't forget to look for me. We'll split it 50-50."

"Will do."

Letting the ox cart pulling the furniture go first, Tang Qiuyue drove Damao to the rice shop.

When Shopkeeper Fang saw Tang Qiyue, he immediately came over to greet her, "Miss Tang, are you here to deliver some rice?"

A few days ago, the nearly two thousand kilograms of rice sent by Tang Qiyue were sold out in less than half a month. Shopkeeper Fang didn't know where Tang Qiyue lived, so he could only worry.

Tang Qiyue shook her head and pointed at the wheat in the corner of the cart, "Here is a thousand kilograms of wheat. Would you like to buy it, boss?"

Originally, she didn't plan to sell it, but she didn't know how to remove the husks and grind it into flour, so she might as well sell it to Shopkeeper Fang. She no longer planted rice and wheat on a large scale on the three acres of land in the space, but only planted two small areas for her own consumption.

It is also for the purpose of planting seeds in her own fields next spring when flowers bloom, and to plant more precious things in her space.

Shopkeeper Fang hurried over, grabbed a handful of wheat and looked at it in his palm. After a while, he said, "Yes, yes, yes. I want all of them."

He is not blind. The wheat in his hand is no worse than rice. Although it takes time to grind it into flour, the selling price will be relatively higher.

Tang Qiyue nodded and said, "That's fine! One hundred and eighty coins per pound, I'll sell you 800 pounds, and you can grind the remaining 200 pounds into flour, and I'll pay you as usual."

"Ah? Only selling 800 kilograms?" Shopkeeper Fang was very disappointed.

But he didn't know that even greater disappointment was yet to come.

"Yes, please help me, boss."

Shopkeeper Fang could only ask his shop assistants to move the 1,000 kilograms of wheat to the backyard, then weigh and pick out 200 kilograms and grind them carefully into flour.

While waiting, Tang Qiyue waved to Shopkeeper Fang, "To be honest, I'm not here just to sell wheat, but also..."

Shopkeeper Fang's eyes suddenly widened, full of anticipation.

"To be honest, my rice stock is gone, so the subsequent delivery of rice to the shop has to be put on hold until the rice is ripe next year."

"Ah!" Shopkeeper Fang suddenly felt as if the sky was about to fall. "Why is it suddenly gone?"

Tang Qiyue said helplessly, "You can see that the weather is unpredictable, it's either snowing or raining. The elders at home can't take care of the fields for the time being, so we can only wait until next year. There are only a hundred kilograms left at home, and we have to take care of our family through the winter."

She spoke her mind without hesitation.

Shopkeeper Fang's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

So, there will be no rice to sell from now until next year?

Of course there is, but it is not as good as the rice in Tang Qiuyue’s hand!
