Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Checking the Ledger (Eighth Update)_1 Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Checking the Ledger (Eighth Update)_1 “These are the account books for the tricycles; they also detail every family who made a purchase,” Shopkeeper Hong pointed to the account books while introducing them to Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.

“These books record the stacked gold ingots, these are for the ‘Fight the Landlord’ playing cards, these are for the snow sleds, and this is for the dumplings…”

As Qiao Xiaomai listened to Shopkeeper Hong, she reached out, picked up an account book, and carefully examined it. There were no Arabic numerals; all the numbers were recorded in Chinese characters–ones like ‘Yi ,Er ,San ,Si ,Wu ,’ which made Qiao Xiaomai’s head spin.

After only a few glances, she put it back down on the table; anyway, she couldn’t understand it, so she let Tong Sanlang take a look.

Tong Sanlang, who was accustomed to these kinds of account books, looked through it quickly.

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t disturb him and started chatting with Shopkeeper Hong, “Even dumplings have their own special account book?”

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said, “Indeed, when He Zhanggui first sent over that batch of dumplings, I set the price at one hundred and eighty-eight copper coins each, twenty per plate, and they were sold out that same day.”

“Ten thousand dumplings sold for a total of one thousand eight hundred taels. The copper coins, dates, honey, and other items wrapped inside the dumplings have now become a trend in the Capital City.”

“If you don’t wrap some auspicious items inside the dumplings, those nobles won’t even eat them.”

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, “These nobles are quite superstitious.”

“During the New Year, who doesn’t wish for a good omen? Even when it’s not the New Year, people love to hear words of good fortune,” Shopkeeper Hong also laughed, looking at Qiao Xiaomai as if she were a gold Yuanbao.

Ever since Qiao Xiaomai appeared, making money had become especially easy, almost like picking it up off the street.

Having an employer like this, he must have accrued good karma in his past life!

The Zuixian Building in the Capital City now only had a group of old customers propping it up, no longer possessing the ability to compete with the Extreme Flavor House.

Thinking about the resentful look on the other shopkeeper’s face when he saw him, he felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water on a scorching summer day–what a delight!

“That’s true,” Qiao Xiaomai said, pulling out a stack of papers from the package she carried with her. She handed them to Shopkeeper Hong, “By the way, this is a popular novel written by Tong Sanlang. Find someone who’s sharp and eloquent, have him memorize it, then set up a small stage in the store and let him do storytelling every day.”

Shopkeeper Hong took the papers. Seeing the first page titled “Skyfall Love Chronicles,” he asked with curiosity, “The boss can write novels too?”

“Oh yes, he’s amazing, a jack of all trades,” Xiaomai said as she turned her head towards Tong Sanlang with a cheerful smile, her peach blossom eyes brimming with affection.

Tong Sanlang looked up and caught her gaze, his lips curving into a smile involuntarily, “Actually, it’s adapted from real events; Xiaomai helped polish it too, it’s not just my work.”

“Adapted from real events?” Shopkeeper Hong became even more puzzled.

“Yes, from the actions of the retired Emperor. You know what to expand upon from the storyline, what should be said and what should not–you’ve got a sense of it.”

Shopkeeper Hong “…”

He swallowed hard, feeling the papers in his hand suddenly heavy, so heavy that he could barely hold them. This was adapted from the retired Emperor’s affairs?

Oh dear, it was bound to be explosively popular!

He took a deep breath, “Rest assured, I know what to do.”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded in satisfaction and gave a few more instructions.

After discussing business, Shopkeeper Hong suddenly remembered something and hastily said, “Oh right, Young Madam, a few days ago, I received a letter from the big boss saying that your in-laws have come to the Capital City.”
