Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Xu Jian: "I think it's feasible. The boiler rental fee is too expensive and not worthwhile."

Xu Gong hesitated for a moment: "But selling boilers is too expensive, an iron pot costs several hundred coins..."

Ms. Wen: "You can't go wrong by listening to your little sister. I'm just listening to you. I wasted so many roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) the other day."

His mother was telling the truth, and Xu Gong blushed, not daring to speak again.

Xu Qing checked the mall and found that the iron pot was only 100 coins and the stove was 50 coins. If he wanted to do business for a long time, it would be more cost-effective to buy them, and these were also considered fixed assets.

“We have money in our hands, so even if we stop doing business, we can still use it for our own family.”

After Xu Qing made the decision, Xu Gong volunteered, "Then I'll go buy them. Mother and sister must be exhausted from getting up so early to come with us to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers)."

"The blacksmith shop is two streets away; you can wait for me at the city gate."

Xu Qing wanted to buy it in the mall, where it was several hundred coins cheaper. How could she buy it if Xu Gong went there?

"Second brother, I want to wander around town. Why don't you go buy the pork we need for tomorrow first, and then take it back by oxcart? You won't have to make another trip this afternoon. Then we can go buy an iron pot together."

Xu Gong nodded in agreement, but Xu Jian was worried about her going alone and offered to go with her.

Xu Qing couldn't possibly agree to that, and besides, she was even more worried about leaving an elderly person and a child behind.

The group split up. Xu Qing went to a deserted alley, found a large iron pot and stove in the mall, and then looked at the table.

There was even a foldable table made entirely of wood, but it cost one tael of silver.

Xu Qing felt a pang of regret, but then she thought about it again. She only had a wooden plank in the yard that served as a table; this folding wooden table would be a good alternative, as it wouldn't be obvious and would be easy to carry.

And with such skillful craftsmanship, I might be able to make a profit by reselling it to a carpenter. I gritted my teeth and bought it.

The family's clothes were all tattered and patched, especially Xu Baobao, who was still wearing the old clothes that Ding Guihua's sons had discarded. They also bought some cloth and needles and thread.

I went back and asked my mother to make them two sets of clothes. I could have just bought ready-made clothes, but the ready-made clothes sold in the mall were all modern styles and couldn't be worn at all.

I also bought several packs of snacks for Xu Baobao. Kids love snacks, so we can't let her go without them.

After buying them, put them in the shopping cart, then secretly take them out when you get to the city gate.

Wen came up to take the things: "Why didn't you ask your older brother to pick you up when you bought so much stuff? Silly girl, it's so heavy!"

Xu Qing explained, "I saw a suitable boiler not far away, so I bought it. It's not heavy, Mom."

A short while later, Xu Gong also returned, but empty-handed.

"There's only lean meat, bones, and offal left now. I'll go buy some from Butcher Qian this afternoon. Little Sister's back, let's go buy a boiler."

Wen said, "Your little sister has bought everything, let's go back."

The family rode in Xu Jianguo's oxcart back to Xujia Village.

Under the Huangguoshu tree, Granny Sun and Granny Wang were doing needlework when they saw the Xu family returning in an oxcart from afar.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they had also bought a large iron pot!

"Wow, you really made money! This big iron pot isn't cheap, it must have cost four hundred coins. You'd better pay me back today, or I'll take the pot."

Grandma Sun walked to the middle of the road, put her hands on her hips, and said loudly.

Ms. Wen was very troubled. They had agreed to repay the debt next month, and there were still two weeks left.

It's not that she doesn't want to pay it back, it's just that she's only been doing business for two days, and it's unrealistic to pay off the debt all at once!

Who can earn so much money in just two days? Luckily, I hid everything else in the basket.

"Sister Sun, this iron pot was bought on credit for a business deal, not purchased."

Grandma Sun chuckled, "You haven't even paid off your debts yet, and you still dare to buy such an expensive iron pot on credit? I don't believe you haven't made any money."

Ms. Wen didn't know what to say; what Aunt Sun said did make a lot of sense.

Xu Qing took a bag of pastries out of his basket and got off the oxcart with a smile.

"Auntie, we promise to pay back the money on time. It's our fault for taking so long. These snacks were bought in town. Please take them back for your grandson."

You can't hit a smiling face, so Aunt Sun accepted the pastries with a forced smile, tossed them in her hand, and felt somewhat satisfied.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

Grandma Sun made way for Xu Qing and her group, who had a lot of things, and Xu Jianguo escorted them to their doorstep.

As soon as the courtyard gate opened, Wangcai rushed over and jumped into Xu Baobao's arms.

"Hmph hmph hmph".

"Wangcai, how did you get out here! You've pushed the pigpen door open again!"

Xu Baobao picked up Wangcai and stroked Wangcai's pig head, making Wangcai hum happily.

Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, "This little guy is so smart, he can even open the door by himself!"

Ms. Wen: "Make sure the door is securely fixed, so that no one runs out and gets lost."

Xu Qing nodded. Yes, it needs to be repaired more securely. What if they run away when they're not home and get caught by someone?

Xu Baobao whispered, "Grandma, Wangcai won't run around. I told it not to run out of the yard. I'm going to gather pig feed to feed Wangcai."

Xu Baobao ran into the yard, put on the small basket that Xu Jian had specially made for her, waved to Wangcai, and then the two of them went out.

"Cut for a little while and then come back for lunch, baby. Don't go too far," Xu Qing shouted.

Everyone carried their things into the yard, and Xu Qing took out the folding wooden table and unfolded it.

"I met a great old carpenter today. This is the folding wooden table he made. Tomorrow we only need to rent chairs."

Xu Gong and Xu Jian circled the wooden table, exclaiming in amazement. They kept folding and unfolding it repeatedly.

"When unfolded, it's such a big table, but when folded up, it's so small and doesn't take up much space. Little sister, this is the first time I've ever seen such an amazing table. How much does it cost?"

Xu Qing held up one finger.

Xu Jian spoke first: "100 coins?"

Xu Gong glanced at Xu Jian with disdain: "Brother, how could such an exquisite item only cost 100 coins?"

Xu Jian stared wide-eyed in shock: "Does it cost one tael of silver?"

Xu Qing nodded: "But it's still a good deal, brother. We can take it to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and we can use it at home too."

Xu Jian felt dizzy. He had never seen so much money in his life. His little sister had spent an ounce to buy a table.

Mr. Wen coughed and said, "Money is meant to be spent; a stingy person is unlikely to achieve great things."

Xu Gongshen agreed wholeheartedly, and Xu Jian also felt that his mother's words made sense. Besides, since the money was earned by his younger sister, she could spend it however she wanted.

Wen went to make lunch, with Xu Qing assisting. After lunch, Xu Gong set off for Qianjia Village.

Wen didn't rest for a moment, going up the mountain to tend to the vegetable garden that Xu Baobao had cleared. Ever since they brought Wangcai back, Xu Gong and Xu Jian had stopped going up the mountain, afraid of encountering wild boars.

She also instructed her family not to go up the mountain recently. Wen knew there were no wild boars, so she agreed on the surface but secretly went.

Xu Jian kneaded and proofed the dough, planning to make 200 buns to sell in town tomorrow. Xu Qing suggested steaming the buns today, since they would need to be heated up before selling them anyway.

When Xu Gong returned with 20 jin of pork that evening, Xu Qing thought she might as well chop up the minced meat and fry it tonight.

Anyway, it won't spoil if it's in the shopping cart, so I won't have to get up so early tomorrow morning.

She continued to sell the pork that Xu Gong bought back to the mall, and then buy cheaper pork again.

To avoid being discovered, Xu Qing had Xu Gong steam buns and Xu Jian chop minced meat.

They only have one steamer for steaming buns, and it takes a long time to steam 200 buns.

Xu Qing thought to himself that he must remember to buy a few more steamers tomorrow.
