Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

How can anyone hate her like the original owner? It was nothing more than the jealousy of the hawkers, the resentment of the Tian family, and the resentment of the Qiao family.

Whatever they want, soldiers come to block them, water comes to cover them, she is not the original owner, so she will not be afraid of these young people.

The pergola worked well to keep out the scorching sun.

Qiao Mai sat comfortably at the bottom, earnestly doing embroidery work, when customers came to buy melons, she got up to sell melons, and worked when there were no customers.

She is quite at ease, since she has her melon, the town seems to be more lively.

They all want to have a bite of the watermelon she sells. Not only is it sweet and juicy, but the most important thing is that it is very cold and can relieve the heat. Qiao Mai said that he can sell some ice.

In Tianshui Town and the county seat, there are not many restaurants that can eat ice in summer. If they sell ice, I wonder if it will work?

How about freezing a few pieces in the freezer tonight and selling them tomorrow?

In the afternoon, Qiao Mai closed the stall and returned home, calculated the bill, and sold twelve watermelons today, two more than yesterday.

When I came to the melon field, I saw nearly an acre of watermelons the size of a fist, and thought that in two days, diners would be able to realize the freedom of watermelons.

She smiled Mimi and went to the shelf, found a few square plastic boxes, filled them with mineral water, and frozen them in the freezer.

Yesterday's income was 8 taels, and today she earned more than 9 taels. She separated the copper coins from the silver and threw them into the toolbox.

Earning money with one's own labor is also a kind of happiness, and she likes it very much.

When I came to the house, I saw that Linger was still sleeping, she was lying beside her, and smiled contentedly.

For just one item of watermelon, more than two hundred taels of silver can be brought in a month, excluding windy and rainy days, there are also two hundred taels.

Will there be more ice cubes tomorrow? After all, ice is more scarce than watermelon, isn't it?

The next day, she went to the carpenter's shop and bought a wheelbarrow and two wooden boxes.

Put the frozen watermelon in a wooden box, and put the ice cubes in another wooden box.

With a trolley, I pushed two wooden boxes to the official road.

Every day on time, shopkeeper Lu asked the two girls to set up the tables and chairs, and put up the awning. Those who didn't know it thought it was really shopkeeper Lu's booth, and even the tax collectors would pass by this booth, which is a shame. Qiao Mai saved money and trouble.

She pushed the cart behind the chair and moved the two wooden boxes under the arbor.

The two wooden boxes were wrapped in quilts, just because they were afraid they would run away in the cold air.

The vendors around are almost dying of envy these days. Seeing that she has assembled another box today, they are all very curious.

"I said, little lady, did you add something new today?"

"Yeah, my shopkeeper said that it's too hot, and there's a lot of ice in her ice kiln, so I'll sell some ice to relieve the heat."

"ice?"

"yes,"

"If you sell ice, who will buy it?"

"Why didn't anyone buy it? After making mung bean soup, if you still don't feel thirst quenched after letting it cool down, you can put a few pieces of crushed ice in it, or herbal tea. Who doesn't like it when it's refreshing?"

"You can eat that ice?"

"That's right, the shopkeepers in my house use the water from the well to freeze in winter, and then stock up, not the water from the river."

"That's how it is. If you have a good relationship, how are you going to sell it?"

"I don't know, and I don't know the price of ice."

"Let me tell you, a piece of ice the size of a washbasin in Fucheng costs one tael of silver."

"Is it cheaper or more expensive than watermelon?"

"Of course watermelons are expensive. Watermelons still need to be grown and sold. They only come out once every three or four months. But as for ice, as long as it is like a guy, it can be stored in winter, and water is worthless."

Qiao Mai said in his heart, is water worthless?

That's the South, right? Once the drought hits the north, a drop of water turns into gold, so how can it be worthless? It really doesn't matter.

She took out a piece of ice from the wooden box and asked, "How much silver does a piece of this size cost?"

"It's not bad if it sells for a hundred coins."

"Okay, then I will listen to people's advice to eat enough, and sell it for a hundred coins."

"You don't need to ask Shopkeeper Lu for instructions?"

"My boss said let me be the master."

"Your boss is really kind, you really met a noble person."

"Of course, our boss is not only a noble person, but also a good person, a good person."

She quickly put the ice back into the wooden box, and it would melt away soon after taking it out.

Qiao Mai thought about it, and then made another sign and put it in front of the table, so that she could write on it whatever she sold in the future, and it would be clear at a glance, and she didn't have to drink anymore. Her throat hurts these two days.

I don't know the fonts here yet, so if it doesn't work, I can just find a wooden board, ask someone to write the words "watermelon" and "ice" on it, and then paste it on the wooden board.

After cutting the watermelon and putting on the gauze cover, she stopped yelling. The town is so big, everyone knows that she is selling melons, and they come whenever they want to eat.

Merchants passing by will get out of the car and eat a few yuan if they want to eat after seeing it.

She sat down and did her embroidery work with peace of mind.

Shopkeeper Lu had nothing to do today, so he moved a chair, came over and sat down next to her.

"How is business?"

"It's not open today."

"I see you got two boxes, one is watermelon, which one is?"

"ice!"

"Yo, you even brought ice?"

"Isn't it available in our town? I will sell out of stock."

"One tael of silver from Fucheng, I'll take a look at yours," said Lu Zhang, lifting the quilt and taking a look.

"Such a small piece?"

"It's not too small, this piece can do a lot of things."

"Then how much do you plan to sell?"

"Others say it will sell for a hundred coins, so I will sell it for a hundred coins."

"It's already quite a lot."

Lu Sanniang trusted her quite a lot, she didn't suspect how the ice came from at all, she thought it was a large piece of ice, but it was cut into such small pieces.

While talking, someone came to buy melons. Seeing someone coming, shopkeeper Lu immediately stood up, lifted the gauze cover, took a piece for the diner, took copper coins, and put them in her purse.

"I did some calculations for you when I was free, and found out that your small stall is really making a lot of money."

"Yeah, it's not good to make a lot of money. If you earn more money every month, it's one step closer to the mansion."

Shopkeeper Lu rolled his eyes, "If you're doing well, you can be patient and embroider a large piece, what's better than that?"

"Embroidery is ruining the eyes, and doing business is considered a rest."

After Lu Sanniang sat here for a while, several diners bought several pieces of melon, and she was really greedy.

"Why don't I close the embroidery shop and let's set up a beach with you?"

"But pull it down, you'd better open your shop well, I'll make a little money, and you'll be jealous too."

"hey-hey."

Qiao Mai took out a piece of watermelon for her and put it in her hand, "If you want to eat it, come and eat it, as do Ruxin and the others. Don't be shy, you have to let me deliver it. I sell melons just to pass the time and make a little money by the way. Son, I didn’t take this watermelon seriously, so don’t save it for me.”

"Understood, this year you have been honored, and you have eaten such expensive things. You have such craftsmanship, so naturally you don't take it seriously."

After a while, the weather became hot. Shopkeeper Lu couldn't bear the heat of the roadside and the hawkers' cries, so he went back to the shop.

At this moment, Qiao Mai yelled, "Watermelon, ice cubes, if you want to relieve the heat, come and buy them."

"Little lady, do you really have ice here?"

"Really, do you want to buy it?"

Qiao Mai put down her embroidery work and looked up to see a middle-aged man with a mustache and a comfortable appearance, dressed in crisp silk clothes, of medium height, looking at her with a smile.

"Can I take a look below?"

"Can"

Qiao Mai bent down and took out a piece from the box, the middle-aged man looked at it and asked.

"Is this river ice or well water ice?"

"Ice in well water."

"How much is it?"

"One hundred coins."

"It's a bit expensive, can it be cheaper?"

"how much do you need?"

"how much do you have?"

Qiao Mai opened the box and counted, "Counting the one in my hand, it's twenty yuan."
