Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

"What, is there something else you need?"

Lu Qingyao sat down by the charcoal fire, smiling as she watched the two boys.

Shi Tou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie, we can't get away from home, so we won't be taking the bamboo shoots to Jiangzhou to sell. Otherwise... we can just sell them to you..."

After saying that, he stole a glance at Lu Qingyao.

He was somewhat afraid of this Aunt Lu. Although her face was full of smiles, her eyes were cold and deep.

It's as if they can see right through people.

Aunt Yang was confused by what she had just said, but he understood it.

The cattle they want to rent may not be unwanted by other families, so it's unlikely they'll get a chance.

"That's great!" Liu Yuniang exclaimed with delight.

We were originally going to find someone to dig bamboo shoots anyway, but having some ready-made ones is even better.

In reality, they didn't even have 800 jin of bamboo shoots.

Although she still didn't quite understand her sister-in-law's actions, she managed to send them away with just a few words.

They must have known this in mind.

"Sister-in-law, should we accept it?"

"There's no rush yet."

Lu Qingyao's gaze fell on their faces.

"Why would you want to sell your bamboo shoots to me? The price I offered wasn't high, are you really willing to do that?"

Shi Tou scratched his head. "What's there to be reluctant about? Everyone says bamboo shoots are expensive in Jiangzhou, but who can really say just how expensive they are..."

"Moreover, after digging bamboo shoots for a day, it takes another day to sell them. Not to mention how far the journey is or how expensive the travel expenses are, just getting there takes five or six hours. With such a round trip, how can we possibly have time to sell bamboo shoots?"

"You've found out quite a lot!"

He's only a kid, but he sees things much more clearly than those shrewd people.

“Auntie, I’m thinking that those people will take at least two or three days to go and sell bamboo shoots. They’ll spend a lot of money on travel expenses and lodging. It’s not certain whether they’ll make a profit or a loss.”

Lu Qingyao looked at him with a smile, giving him an approving look.

"Stone, if you sell your bamboo shoots to me, the large ones will only sell for twelve coins a pound, the small ones for seven coins, and the defective ones for two coins. Are you willing to do that?"

"Twelve coins!"

Only twelve coins?

Stone hesitated.

This was far from what he had expected.

Lu Qingyao's gaze fell on Sun Tiantian's face. "Tiantian, what about you?"

"I'll sell the stone if you want."

"Alright, go back and think it over. If you're willing to sell, bring the bamboo shoots over first thing tomorrow morning."

The two left dejectedly.

"Sister-in-law, I don't understand. Why not add a little? Maybe they would be willing to sell it right away if we added a little?" Liu Yuniang asked, her eyes full of confusion.

She understood Lu Qingyao less and less.

Jiang Miaomiao tugged at her mother's little finger, babbling incoherently.

I want to hear it... Mommy, please tell me...

"Does Miaomiao want to know too?" Lu Qingyao pinched her daughter's little cheek.

Many times, she felt that her daughter seemed to understand their language.

"People say that scarcity drives up prices. When something rare becomes plentiful, it naturally becomes cheaper. Setting expectations too high leads to greater disappointment... The price of bamboo shoots fluctuates with the market. If the initial price is high, and the price drops later, it inevitably gives others something to criticize..."

Jiang Miaomiao shook her little head, her short, soft hair bobbing up and down.

Liu Yuniang nodded as if she understood but not quite.

"So you mean we can't give too high a score the first time, right?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

The banquet ended and everyone dispersed.

Jiang Miaomiao's family went to bed.

My mother said I should go to bed early, because I'll definitely have to get up early tomorrow morning.

But Jiang Miaomiao was unusually energetic tonight, rolling around on the bed with her short legs.

The more you roll, the more energetic you become.

As it rolled along, it was stopped by a large hand.

"Sweet Miaomiao, time for bed..."

Then Mother began humming a lullaby she'd heard somewhere, "Sheep, sheep, sheep... jumping over the flower wall... donkey... pushing the millstone..."

Jiang Miaomiao, who wasn't sleepy at first, was held in her mother's arms and her mother stroked her little head.

Then I inexplicably fell asleep.

When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and she slept in again, as usual.

I was woken up by Chirp.

I'm a bit grumpy when I wake up.

Danque stood beside the cradle, chirping tirelessly...

[Jiang Miaomiao, the sun's already high in the sky... Time to get up!]

Jiang Miaomiao, you lazybones...

Jiang Miaomiao had an impulse at that moment... she wanted to catch a bird.

I want to pluck all its fur off.

When Jiang Zifeng came in, he saw his younger sister lying by the cradle, reaching out to grab the red sparrow.

Startled, he quickly hugged his sister tightly.

He's been traumatized by that fall.

Mother is not home today; she went to Jiangzhou to sell bamboo shoots.

Jiang Miaomiao nestled in her older brother's arms, drinking goat milk, but her eyes were fixed on the little wolf cub in the wooden basin.

The little guy has grown a bit and opened his eyes.

The little white ball of fluff looked at her with its big, round eyes.

It would lick its tongue every now and then.

It's making little "gurgling" sounds; it's incredibly cute.

How amazing, she actually thinks a wolf is cute... but this is a wolf that eats people!

However, Jiang Miaomiao still left half of its food.

We need to treat it well, in case its father comes looking for trouble, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

We can't afford to offend them...

Jiang Miaomiao heard footsteps at the door again and immediately became alert.

She remembered who the person next to Aunt Wang was last time.

If someone loiters around your door but doesn't go in...

Either they have ulterior motives, or nothing good is coming of it.

It sent Chirp flying out to see.

Tian Tian and Shi Tou arrived, each carrying a basket of bamboo shoots.

Mother was indeed incredibly insightful.

The door opened.

"Brother Yan, how much do you think I can sell these bamboo shoots for?"

Jiang Ziyan separated the large and small bamboo shoots, weighed them, and said, "Thirty catties of large bamboo shoots and twenty catties of small bamboo shoots, totaling six hundred and fifty coins."

"So many! Brother Yan, you didn't miscalculate, did you?" Stone, though illiterate, said.

However, I do know some basic arithmetic.

It didn't match his previous estimate.

too much!

He should take every penny that is rightfully his, and refuse to take a single penny that is not.

"Not much, that's the price." Jiang Ziyan took out copper coins from the box and gave them to him.

"The price of bamboo shoots fluctuates with the market. What my mother said yesterday was yesterday's price. Today's price is fifteen coins per catty for large bamboo shoots and ten coins per catty for small bamboo shoots. It fluctuates with the market, and the price will be different every day from now on, sometimes higher and sometimes lower..."

"Alright, I'll come again tomorrow." The two men sold the bamboo shoots and left happily.

No matter how much wealth others made, it was none of his business. He was happier than anything else to receive these 650 coins.

This is his father's wages for working outside for seven or eight days.

Why don't we just tell Dad to quit his job and come back to dig bamboo shoots!

With that thought in mind, he quickened his pace toward the town.

After Shi Tou and Tian Tian left, many people carried bamboo shoots to Jiang Miaomiao's house...
