Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 644: Only 12 Caravans Can Be Tricked
It only took two days to complete the Suo family's stilt house. They used ready-made wooden boards and pillars, so there was no need to wait for the walls to dry and dig deep foundations on all sides like in the Middle-earth area. With sufficient manpower, they built it as quickly as an ant building a nest.
Although it seemed simple and plain compared to the luxurious wooden stilt houses in the warehouse area, this home had expanded a lot, and for the brother and sister, they were already very satisfied.
Both the brother and sister were injured, and it was not convenient to entertain so many people, so they said they would pay everyone their wages.
The residents refused to take it.
They all wished the brother and sister well in moving into their new home, and then went back.
Looking at the residents leaving and then looking at the new homes built, the brother and sister's eyes became moist.
Qiao Lianer squatted in front of the earthen stove cooking porridge. The rice porridge in the clay pot was bubbling and emitting bursts of fragrance.
She fanned the fire gently with a palm-leaf fan and looked in the direction of the three mountains. Because her uncle had made so much noise last night, he hadn't tried to cover it up. Even from here, she could see that fresh mud had been turned up on the top of the mountain.
After descending the mountain, she was sure that there were treasures inside, which would be found sooner or later. What she had to do now was to attract more caravans so that it would be easier to ship the goods.
Dan Suo slowly washed the wild vegetables and put them into the pot. He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Just tell me what's going on." Qiao Jianer said as he stirred the pot with a spoon.
"Miss Shui, I heard the soldiers and villagers talking about how the three mountains you bought are barren, with not a single valuable stone in them. They say you've made a huge loss."
If it was really valuable, the government would have marked it long ago and sold it to wealthy businessmen at a high price. It would not be sold at this price.
"Let them talk." Qiao Jianer looked indifferent.
She was also afraid that someone would set their sights on those three mountains.
But Suo blinked, not sure what Qiao Jian'er was thinking. Perhaps in Shui's opinion, it didn't matter if she lost the bet after spending some money, as the family had plenty of money anyway.
That's right, Miss Shui even had the money to buy his ruby, and she offered a price of three million taels without any bargaining, so she definitely wouldn't care about one hundred thousand taels.
Those people still laugh at people with such a narrow mind. Do they deserve it?
Ten taels were used to build the stilt house, and the remaining two taels were used to buy bed frames, beddings, etc. Everything was arranged, and the two guest rooms were also fully furnished. As long as there was enough money, it would actually be done quickly.
He deeply felt the benefits of being rich.
These ten taels alone could completely transform the lives of the brother and sister, not to mention that the ruby was worth three million taels.
The next day, the residents went up the mountain to start work.
Qiao Jianer decided that since they had just started, they should start digging from the first mountain, otherwise the treasure would be exposed everywhere and the army they bought would not arrive yet, making it difficult to defend.
One or two taels of silver a month is too tempting for the residents here, and everyone works very hard in the mountains.
This place is quite a short walk from where they live, so to avoid any hassle, Qiao Jianer simply picked out a few cooks, set up a kitchen, and had lunch on the top of the mountain.
There was white rice, a meat dish and a vegetable dish. In the eyes of the residents, it was a divine supply.
Everyone looked at Qiao Lianer with eyes full of gratitude.
Even if these three mountains were worthless, they would dig through them if the Water Girl asked them to.
Qiao Jianer personally selected the stones and was not in a hurry to open them. He waited until the army arrived so that the value of the stones could be revealed.
If the army doesn't work, she has a backup plan.
Some warlords pretended to come and watch, and when they saw that none of the stones were cut, they understood what was going on.
This Shui girl was afraid that people would know that she lost the bet, so she acted mysteriously to create a sense of mystery.
She thought that by acting like this, others would think that she had dug up valuable stones.
The gambler lost all his money, but instead of admitting it frankly, he made so many calculations. It's really laughable.
"Miss Shui, why don't you open your stone?" said a fat warlord with a smile.
"Oh, my stone won't open easily. Why, do you want to buy it from me?"
The fat warlord couldn't help laughing and quickly waved his hands: "We are buying and selling jade, not stones. Although jade grows inside stones, there is still a big difference between stones with jade and stones without jade."
"There is also jade in my stone." Qiao Lianer said seriously.
The fat warlord laughed more and more wantonly, and finally he covered his stomach and twitched.
"Miss Shui, I sympathize with your situation. Now that you are the master of these three mountains, we are half colleagues. Colleagues should not cheat each other. You should see if you can cheat one or two caravans. But be mentally prepared, it can only be a one-time deal. Oh, and be prepared to run away to avoid those caravans causing trouble."
Qiao Jianer: "Oh."
Seeing her attitude, the fat warlord thought she was determined to continue the show, so he lost interest and left.
At night, Qiao Jianer entered the space and cut a pile of carefully selected stones.
Yes, each piece is worth more than 30,000 taels.
She touched the smooth stone surface, feeling the cool and lustrous texture of the jade.
A thought flashed through her mind: she would store all the most valuable stones, those worth more than ten thousand taels, into the space and then ship them elsewhere.
Although she has ways to deal with it, in the face of huge profits, these warlords will definitely find ways to take risks and get what they want.
She also wanted to negotiate with some caravans for long-term cooperation, and Boss Zuo's caravan was one of the targets.
After catching up on sleep in the time-difference space, Qiao Jianer returned to Daze Country at night.
After making sure that the stones were of no value and that the warlords would not covet them, she placed the high-quality ones in a special location, and she felt relatively relieved for the time being.
But she still selected some young and strong residents to guard the mountain and gave them extra wages.
Because of the time zone, it is daytime in Dazeguo and the morning has just begun.
Qiao Jianer can stay here for a whole day and return to Kachin area at night.
So, she went to see her family first.
Shortly after dawn, the Qiao family had breakfast together.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er suddenly appear, everyone was stunned for a moment, then got used to it, but longing welled up in their eyes, even though she had only been away for ten days.
But she seemed to be going to a very far place, and they were worried about her.
"Breakfast is just right, hot." Old Mrs. Qiao prepared it herself.
Qiao Jian'er didn't see Pei Qingrong, but she saw that there seemed to be another child in the yard, who was being held by a nanny.
"Your sister-in-law Dacheng just gave birth to a boy named Qiao Su." Wan said with a smile.
"Your sister-in-law is in confinement after giving birth."
Qiao Jianer hugged Qiao Su. The little guy had a chubby face and his eyes were not open yet. He was wrapped in a swaddle and looked so cute that it made people's hearts melt.
Qiao Zhizhi's oil painting class is as popular as ever.
As for the Wu and Murong families, they fought each other every day and were incompatible. The emperor was annoyed by this and demoted the two families to earls and demoted the officials of the two families. Only then did they become more restrained.
In order to save his life, Wu Qingjin had both hands cut off at the shoulders, and his life was completely ruined.
