Looking at these children, with their sincere hearts, Qiao Lianer was deeply moved.

"Everything is fine."

"What about you? Have you been hungry this month? Do you have money to use?"

"We haven't spent all the wages Sister Jianer gave us yet, and we have a full meal every time." Ada said happily.

On the day when it rained heavily, Qiao Jianer returned home from the county town and asked Ada and the others to pay attention to some gossip.

But she didn't rush to ask.

Dayong opened the carriage door and the children got on.

There were candies in the carriage. Dayong gave them to the children and secretly hid a few for himself.

After arriving in the county town, the Qiao family went to the brick factory first. When the boss saw Qiao Jianer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little girl, you're finally here. The deadline is almost up. I worked so hard to make these for you, but now I'm just leaving them like this. I'm afraid you won't come. What am I going to do then?"

"Sorry, boss. It's been raining heavily for so long that the road here is blocked again. I finally cleared it and drove the carriage here." said Qiao Lianer.

"Yes, it's not easy these days. Go check the goods. If there are no problems, pay the balance and I'll have the fleet deliver them to your home."

The boss took the Qiao family to the warehouse and said, "These are all the bricks and tiles you ordered. They are fired in several batches, and each batch takes seven days to fire."

Everyone can see the green bricks and red tiles stacked together, the colors are bright and shiny, shining in the sun, and it looks very beautiful.

Although it is not glazed tile, the effect is almost the same.

The Qiao family was stunned. Xiao Meng couldn't help but reach out and touch it: "It's cool and smooth. It feels so good."

Everyone couldn't help but imagine how beautiful the house made of these bricks and tiles would be.

After a careful inspection, Qiao Jianer found that there was not even a tiny crack, so he happily paid the balance.

The boss immediately called a team of carriages and horses to transport bricks and tiles, and Dacheng followed him back.

At the lumber mill, when the Qiao family arrived outside the door, they heard angry groans from inside.

"After working so hard to prepare all this, they actually stood us up. How are we going to make up for this debt? I really want to beat that little bitch to death."

"They're gone. We've checked stall number eight several times, but they're no longer there. How dare they bully us? Do they really think they can get away? We know where they live, so we can just go there and ask for money."

"If you dare not give it to me, then go and see the official."

"Don't worry, isn't this the deadline? It's past the deadline after today. If they come today and you say these things to them, they'll get into a fight and we won't be able to do business."

"Brother, you're still speaking for that damn girl. She hasn't been seen for a month, how could she possibly come today? If she really comes, I'll kowtow to her and call her Auntie."

The three brothers at the lumber mill started arguing.

How could Qiao Jian'er miss the opportunity to be called aunt? As soon as she heard this, she walked in.

"Really? That aunt is here."

The three brothers looked back and saw a little girl standing not far away. Her eyes were shining with a bit of mischief.

For a moment, they felt like crying for joy, with excited hearts and trembling hands.

It was like seeing a savior.

"Oh my dear aunt, I've been waiting so long for you to finally come. I thought you ran away. What are we going to do with all the materials we prepared?"

The third brother is a fat man. He was full of righteous indignation just now, and he wanted to tear Qiao Jianer to pieces. Now he has a smiling face, and his face is full of fat.

Dayong and Dameng wanted to hit someone when they heard those words, but seeing the fat man's attitude, they loosened their fists.

Forget it. Don't hit someone who smiles at you. They have indeed been waiting for a long time.

If they were in his place, they would also have such doubts.

"Yes, I'm here. Uncle, do you still keep your word?"

"Let's settle it. I'm really sorry, aunt. I was just being rude. Isn't this the last day? I really thought you wouldn't come." The third brother clasped his fists and smiled apologetically.

The eldest brother seemed much more composed and said with a smile, "Everyone, these woods are of different types and sizes. It's not easy to prepare them all, because each household needs different sizes. If you don't come, we won't be able to handle it."

"Now that you're here, take a good look at these materials and measure them. If there's no problem, I'll send them to you today."

"Okay." Qiao Jianer agreed.

The brick and tile factory in front counted the quantity in front of the Qiao family. After checking the quality of these timber factories, they checked the dimensions to ensure that they were completely correct.

Then, the wood began to be transported, and this time Da Meng went back with them.

He went to find the construction team again and told them that they could set off today. He also hired three cooks and applied to buy a few large pots. Qiao Laoer and Wan also sent these people back.

The ones left in the county town were Qiao Jianer, Dayong, Xiaomeng, and Feng.

They finally had time to go to stall number eight.

Only then did I realize that the owner of stall number 8 had changed and was replaced by another stall owner who was selling grilled stinky tofu.

"What's going on? Our stall has been occupied by someone? Do they have any reason to do so?" Xiao Meng widened his eyes and was about to rush forward.

Qiao Jianer suddenly thought of something and pulled Xiao Meng back.

"The stall's lease expired. If you don't renew it after a month, someone else can rent it."

Everyone then remembered that more than a month had passed since they started setting up the stall, and since they had not paid the rent, they were no longer the stall owners.

"Why don't we rent one now?" Dayong said.

"Don't worry. My family is busy building a house right now. Once I connect with foreign businessmen, I can make some money selling food." Qiao Jian'er said, "Let's go find out if Ling Yin is in the county first."

The autumn harvest has begun now. If those people make any moves, they will come soon. She has set up a stall here and her business is so good that she will be a sitting duck if she is targeted.

"But..." Dayong looked a little struggling.

They made a promise to Ling Yin at that time.

"Brother Dayong, believe me, the kimchi made according to my method will sell well even in the West Street market."

In fact, if the food is delicious, there is really no need to worry about selling it.

The kimchi pickled with ginger and mustard is just barely delicious and cannot compare to the taste of ordinary pickled peppers.

She had sincerely wanted to help Ling Yin sell kimchi at the stall, but was delayed due to the road conditions.

I believe that the kimchi is ready. Ling Yin wouldn't wait like an idiot if they didn't show up for so long.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the West Street Tile Market, I saw Ling Yin and Qiu Shi working at that temporary stall.

A wooden stall was set up in front of the two men, with two large jars on it.

Several guests were waiting there.

"One head of kimchi costs ten cents. If you buy more, the price will be lower." Ling Yin entertained the guests warmly.

While using chopsticks to pick up a large head of kimchi, he placed it in the bowl brought by the guest.

The bright red kimchi exudes a sour, spicy and fresh aroma that fills half the street.
