Chapter 219: Working Together

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She was worried because her shop would open the day after tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, she would be very busy.

“Laishun, I think you should know about the situation as well as Shuanzi. I only provide cold cakes and wooden buckets. You have to prepare the other tools yourself.”

“Yes, I know. It’s all ready. Before you came back, I went to see Aunt Liu. I’ve tried it myself and know how to cut them.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

“How many buckets of cold cakes are you going to take with you tomorrow?”

Li Laishun smiled and looked at Wang Shuanzi.

Then, Wang Shuanzi scratched his head in embarrassment.

…..

“We’re going to sell them together!” He said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.

“Laishun has never done this before. It’s his first time doing it, so he’s afraid that he won’t do well. As for me, I only have a pair of legs. It’s not that efficient for me to carry the cold cakes all the way to the villages.”

Wang Shuanzi looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“So, the two of us decided to work together. We will go to all the nineteen villages behind Daishi Village.”

“With the ox-cart and the two of us together, not only will we be able to take care of each other, but we will also be able to do things quickly. 1 should be more than what 1 earned before!”

At the moment, he went back and forth three times a day, and even if he worked hard, he could only sell 18 buckets of cold cakes.

It wasn’t because the cakes didn’t sell well, but because he had to spend a lot of time on the road.

In addition, he had to do the dishes himself, which was quite troublesome.

He had limited capacity, but he had a good relationship with Laishun, so he told him that he was earning a lot of money by selling cold cakes.

He wanted to borrow the Li family’s ox-cart and partner with Laishun to earn more money.

Laishun did not have the courage to do business alone. With him around, he would feel better.

In short, it was a win-win situation. They would definitely earn a lot of money.

“Yes. Shuanzi is quick-witted and experienced. With him, 1 feel at ease!” Li Laishun said.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“That’s good. It’s easier to discuss things too.”

“How much do you plan to take with you?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

They would probably need a lot for 19 villages.

She had to go to the shop tomorrow, so her family might not be able to handle it.

Wang Shuanzi and Li Laishun looked at each other, then Wang Shuanzi smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“If possible, we’d like to have 40 buckets tomorrow morning.”

“It’s fine even if we can’t sell them all. When we come back for lunch, we can reduce the amount for the afternoon.”

He had thought it through.

With the ox-cart, they would only go out twice a day.

In the morning, they would go to the 10 nearby villages, and in the afternoon, the 9 villages further away.

This saved him trouble and worry.

Lin Xiaoyue was surprised again.

40 buckets of cold cakes? It was almost twice the amount they took to the market.

However, the villagers would usually buy more than 1 bowl as they wanted to buy some for their family members too.

There were 19 villages, and almost all of them were large villages. Their spending power could not be underestimated.

Lin Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and finally looked up at the two of them.

“Alright, I’ll prepare 40 pots of cold cakes for you in the morning and 40 pots in the afternoon.”

Before she returned from town after selling the cold cakes, she went to the grocery store again and bought another 100 small wooden basins from Mr. Jin.

She had emptied the inventory in Mr. Jin’s shop, but she still hadn’t bought enough..
