Yu Ruyue then remembered that in their eyes, Liang Shulan was still the same selfish loser as before, so she quickly explained, "My father and mother were pushed into the river by Old Man Yu and almost died. They changed their ways because of that, and we will live a good life from now on."

After all, this is someone else's family affair. Since she said so, others naturally can't say much.

So a few people carried their things and went to the village entrance to wait for the carriage.

"Have you heard? After that old woman from the Wang family and her eldest son broke their legs, several other families in our village have had accidents one after another. They all say it's like someone tripped them on purpose. Don't you think it's weird?"

"What's so weird? I think this is God's mercy. You don't know how evil these people are. Take the little girl from the Yu family, for example. She was just married, and she was made to cry by these gossipy women. They always mock and abuse her. Now that her life is better, they chase her right to her doorstep and steal her business. Don't you think this is God's mercy?"

The people nearby thought about it and agreed with this.

"Yeah! Those families did go too far, but now it's really miserable. They are all crippled after falling down overnight."

Yu Ruyue heard several names from their mouths, as if these people were the ones who had bullied her before.

Is it really God's will?

She wanted to continue listening, but when those people saw her coming, they immediately shut up.

On the way, these people would occasionally look towards her and Liang Shulan.

This made Yu Ruyue feel uncomfortable.

It seems like it's time to spend money to buy an ox cart, otherwise I'll be treated like a monkey every day.

The carriage was shaking, making those who had gotten up early feel a little sleepy. Finally, when everyone was about to fall asleep, they arrived in the town.

Yu Ruyue took everyone to the street where hawthorn cakes were sold before, paid six cents and found two more conspicuous locations.

As soon as they put the things out, Chunju rushed over anxiously, "Ruyue! You're finally here. What were you doing yesterday? I've been looking for you all day."

"Quick! Bring me five catties of hawthorn cakes and five catties of sour jujube cakes."

"The ones I bought last time weren't even enough to share. I don't know where the old lady at home got the news that this thing of yours could cure illnesses. My young lady was kind-hearted and gave all the ones I bought to the old lady."

"But yesterday I was so greedy that I bought some random food from someone else and ended up making the young lady vomit."

Yu Ruyue smiled and pointed at Qiuhong, who was standing next to her with a reserved look on her face. "This is my sister-in-law. I gave them the job of making hawthorn cakes. Don't worry, they can make it exactly like me. They are just earning some hard work money."

Chunju looked at Qiuhong with some doubt, "Are you sure it's the same as what you did? Let me remind you, if you lie to my young lady, you will be punished."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and pushed her shoulder. "Who are you trying to scare, little girl? Don't worry, I guarantee it will be exactly the same."

"Oh right! Sister Yue also made some other dishes today. You can try one called seaweed rice rolls and the other called spicy snails."

"I had a bite yesterday and I dreamed about it last night!"

After hearing Shen Jiaojiao's promise, Chunju waved her hand and asked Qiuhong to give her five pounds of hawthorn cake and five pounds of sour jujube cake.

He took the seaweed rice roll and took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh my god, what's this magical smell? How can it be so delicious? It's so fresh and fragrant. I've been with you for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this before! How do you sell this?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "This thing is expensive. One stick costs 50 coins."

"50 wen!? That much more expensive than the hawthorn cake!?"

Yu Ruyue remained calm. "Take the outer layer, for example. It was shipped across the ocean. I only got some by chance. I don't know if I'll have it again in the future. And inside it is wrapped in refined rice, eggs, and sausages. They are all of the best quality."

Chunju has been with the noble for such a long time, but she has never seen this thing before. It can be imagined that it is indeed very precious.

She then thought about her young lady not being able to eat every day because of her pregnancy, so she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Give me four!"

Shen Jiaojiao immediately wrapped the thing in a lotus leaf, handed it over with a smile, her face full of pride!

Yu Ruyue packed another spoonful of spicy snails for her. "This is delicious and spicy. I'll send it back for you to try."

Chunju took the things with a smile, paid immediately, and ran away with the things.

After the first taste, there will naturally be a second one.

These people all thought it was expensive, but after tasting it, they gritted their teeth and bought two or three. Even if they didn't buy seaweed rice rolls in the end, they still got two taels of snails to take home to try.

After all, one or two ounces of conches only cost four cents, which is really cheap compared to other things.

Finally, around noon, I finished buying everything.

Yu Ruyue brought a total of 200 seaweed rice rolls this time. Not counting the three that were eaten by the testers, she earned 10 taels, qian and wen. Together with the jin of spicy snails, she earned a total of taels, qian and wen.

Shen Jiaojiao counted the money again and again, feeling a little unhappy. "Sister Yue, our prices have indeed increased, but we're making less money than before. I see that Brother Shu and his men make over 20 taels a day, which is twice as much as us!"

Yu Ruyue just smiled and didn't say that she would get half of every penny they made. In order to avoid the taste being bad due to sugar replacement, the Shu family even bought white sugar from her.

The profit here is not half...

However, the Shu family also made a lot of money. At least they made four taels of silver in just this one move, which was more than what their entire family earned in two years combined.

Qiuhong and Shu Dachao looked at the money in their hands, their hands shaking with excitement. They really wanted to kneel down to Yu Ruyue, the God of Wealth, right now!

Even on the way home, the two of them were furtive and held the silver in their arms tightly, looking left and right, for fear that others would not know that they had made money.

Yu Ruyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

After returning home, Yu Ruyue first took out 30 taels of silver and gave it to Yu Dehou, asking him to go to the town to buy an ox cart and register it in his name, and then he would be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off at the town.

She, Liang Shulan, and Shen Jiaojiao returned to Shen's house to prepare the spicy snails and seaweed rice rolls that they would sell in town tomorrow, and also prepare the meat for the sausages.

When everything was ready, there was a knock on the door. Yu Ruyue thought it was her father coming back, so she went to knock on the door happily. As a result, she met the eyes of Wang Mazi, who looked listless.
