153 Long-term Cooperation

The size of the wooden bucket she was using at the moment was perfect.

Even after adding the cold cake, it wasn’t heavy.

It was also easy to transport.

Therefore, she was not going to change the container.

According to her estimation, if the small wooden bucket was filled with more than half a bucket of cold cakes, it would be enough for 25 bowls.

Ruyi Restaurant asked them to send the cold cakes twice a day, 100 bowls each time, which meant four buckets each time.

Today, she had sold about 80 bowls of cold cakes in the market. It was obvious that that was not enough.

She would bring 14 buckets of cold cakes tomorrow. Four of them would be sent to Ruyi Restaurant, and the remaining to be sold in the market.

Ten buckets of cold cakes were 250 bowls in total. If she worked hard, she should be able to sell them all.

Lin Xiaoyue roughly knew what to do.

“Isn’t that too much?” Liu Shi was a little nervous.

A small wooden bucket cost 28 wen, which was not cheap.

“Not at all. It might not be enough,” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi thought of what her daughter had said and did not say anything more.

Forget it, her daughter was much more capable than her. She would just help with the chores and let her daughter decide the rest.

As they were talking, they arrived at the grocery store.

The three of them got off the ox-cart and entered the grocery store.

When Boss Jin saw that Lin Xiaoyue had arrived, he immediately welcomed her.

She was a big client of his.

Not only did she come often, she also bought a lot each time.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and greeted Boss Jin. Then, she walked to the side and told him about her plan to purchase bowls in the future.

“Alright! Buy them in even numbers. 5 wen for a pair of small bowls, 7 for a pair of small-medium bowls, and 11 for a pair of medium-large bowls. If you want a medium bowl, they are 9 wen a pair. There are also large bowls. If you want them, I’ll sell them to you at a cheap price too.”

“Then we’ll start with 10 small bowls, 20 small-medium bowls, and 10 medium-large bowls. Also, 14 small wooden buckets. As for the price…”

“24 wen for the small wooden bucket!” Boss Jin immediately said.

“Hehe, thanks a lot, Uncle Jin!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked him.

“No problem. In the future, just come more often.”

“That’s right! We’ll have a long term cooperation in the future!”

Then, Lin Xiaoyue, Liu Shi, and Li Xiao took the bowls and bucket.

After paying, the three of them got on the ox-cart and returned to Daishi Village.

“Stop at the intersection in front later. I’ll go and send some desserts to Aunt Wang and Erya.” Lin Xiaoyue got out of the ox-cart and sat beside Li Xiao.

“Yes.” Li Xiao responded.

He saw Lin Xiaoyue handing him a piece of pastry.

Li Xiao held the reins in his hand and didn’t respond.

Lin Xiaoyue urged him with her eyes. At the same time, she raised the cake in her hand a little.

Li Xiao paused, then he lowered his head and took the cake with his mouth.

Then, he blushed and quickly turned his head to look in front.

“Hehe.” Lin Xiaoyue was amused.

Liu Shi heard her daughter’s laughter and looked out from the ox-cart.

“What are you laughing at?” She smiled and asked her daughter.

Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped smiling.

“Nothing, mom.” She hurriedly said.

When she saw Li Xiao trying to hold back his smile, it was her daughter’s turn to be embarrassed.

Soon, they had reached the intersection.

“Mom, you go back and cook first. I’ll be back after I deliver the things.”

As she spoke, she got off the ox-cart.

“Okay! Ask Aunt Wang to come over is she’s free!” Liu Shi responded.

“Yes.”

Lin Xiaoyue walked towards Aunt Wang’s house.

It was already past 11 o’clock, and there was kitchen smoke coming from some of the houses in the village. However, the Wang family didn’t seem to be doing anything.

Lin Xiaoyue had just walked to the front of the Wang family’s courtyard when she heard someone crying.
