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

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1269: The Most Precious Thing is the Chili Pepper_1 Chapter 1270: Chapter 1269: The Most Precious Thing is the Chili Pepper_1 For Qiao Xiaomai, those five acres of watermelons entering Capital City were nothing remarkable; there were too many wealthy people in Capital City, and there were also many wealthy people in other areas of Daqi.

Tsk, I really admire Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to gather money.

In thousands of years, such a case has been unique.

She overshadowed everyone in history!

“And these crayfish, in my opinion, should also be priced, fifty-eight taels each, take it or leave it,” he said, eyeing a pile of crayfish shells in front of him, and couldn’t help but speak again.

“The crayfish production in Xiezi County is not high either, and yours taste good, plus there isn’t a lot of chili available, which won’t last for many batches, so go ahead and set a high price for it.”

Crayfish weren’t the most precious; chilies were.

The batch of chili seeds from this year’s spring harvest was all collected and replanted, and when Tong Sanlang came back, he brought some chili skins with him.

There were only about fifty catties of these chili skins, and the rest were sent to the Palace.

So few chilies, not even enough for personal use, let alone for sale.

Fifty-eight taels per crayfish, he even felt that the price was too low.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai thought of the preciousness of chilies and quickly nodded in agreement.

She would part with at most twenty catties of chilies. How many crayfish could be made with those twenty catties was all up to the performance of the Jiwei House.

The many nobles and rich in Capital City could only get a taste of what the spicy crayfish really was.

“Then I’ll go to the town this afternoon and speak with Shopkeeper He about this matter,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“Let Sanlang do it. This afternoon, I was planning to discuss with you the matter of establishing a Charity Organization,” Yang Hao said.

Although this matter was entrusted to Yang Ye, since he was here, the initial effort fell to him.

Moreover, as this initiative was started by Qiao Xiaomai for Zhuang Luhe, he also planned to find Zhuang Luhe.

“Alright.” Qiao Xiaomai readily agreed upon the involvement of this matter.

So the afternoon’s schedule was set: Tong Sanlang would go to the town to find Shopkeeper He, and Qiao Xiaomai would bring Zhuang Luhe to meet with Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was kind-hearted. Judging by his appearance, one could tell he was a gentle person. Zhuang Luhe sat in front of him with some restraint, but she wasn’t afraid. When Yang Hao asked a question, she would answer.

“I just want to travel everywhere, no matter how far or how difficult, I’m willing to go.”

“The things that happened before, you can actually forget them. Although there are unpleasant things here, this place is where your son and daughter are.” Sensing the avoidance in her words, Yang Hao advised her.

“Xiaomai is capable. She alone can support this family. I’m very reassured to have Dami looked after by her. I just want to go out and do something,” Zhuang Luhe said.

“Your Highness, my mother doesn’t want to see my father, and she also can’t get over that hurdle in her heart. She wants to go out,” Qiao Xiaomai interjected.

Yang Hao understood upon hearing this.

In Daqi, the control over women was not as strict as in the previous dynasties, but it wasn’t very liberal either. Not only did men value chastity highly, but women themselves also placed great importance on their virtue. Zhuang Luhe eloped with a man, and she despised herself for being ‘dirty’; this mindset was very normal.

Moreover, Zhuang Luhe now attributed the cause of her tragedy to Qiao Changshun. She didn’t want to see Qiao Changshun and wanted to go out to avoid it; this psychology was understandable.

He changed the topic and began to ask about other details, such as sources of funding, specific ways of operation, and so on.

The conversation took all afternoon. Qiao Xiaomai discussed it using her experience from later generations; the details were very thorough with no loopholes.

Yang Hao said, “I’ll write a letter to my father and Grandpa Emperor when I get back, letting them review it. If they agree, then we can start preparing.”

“Thank you very much,” Qiao Xiaomai hastily expressed her gratitude.

“It’s no trouble,” Yang Hao smiled. This matter was also of great benefit to the Yang Family. However, “Um… Miss Qiao, may I ask you for a favor?”
