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

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1098 Got Slaughtered_1 Chapter 1299: Chapter 1098 Got Slaughtered_1 All these livestock were expensive, of course, the nobles got to choose whichever one they wanted.

After spending some effort to tie up the animals and load them onto the carriage, Qiao Xiaomai began to do the accounting.

Pigs, chickens, and sheep were ordinary livestock, and even though they had been nourished by the Spiritual Spring water, they could still not fetch a price as high as the crayfish.

The crayfish had already swindled these people out of thirty thousand taels silver, so the price for these animals could be a bit cheaper!

“They’re all eighteen taels per jin, your respective totals are…” she started listing the numbers.

As she announced the totals, Tong Sanlang collected the money, and soon the wooden chest was almost full again.

Looking at the wooden chest that was obviously quite heavy, Qiao Xiaomai’s smile could not be hidden, “Gentlemen, since you’ve come all this way, I’ll throw in some vermicelli for you, made from an excess of sweet potatoes I grew last year.”

“Agreed.” At this point, none of them felt embarrassed anymore, as they threw out heaps of banknotes, they felt the pinch.

Even for the Aristocratic Families that had gone on for hundreds of years, spending money like this still hurt.

The Aristocratic Families had expenses not only on food but also on clothing, playthings, and various other things, which all required money.

If this kind of transaction happened a few more times, even their family fortunes would begin to suffer.

Gifts, Qiao Xiaomai definitely had to give out more, otherwise, it wouldn’t ease their pain.

Qiao Xiaomai personally went to the Warehouse to fetch a few hundred jin of vermicelli and distributed it among them. The sweet potatoes she had grown last year were too abundant, and there were way too many vermicelli. In another couple of months, this year’s sweet potatoes would be ready to harvest, and these vermicelli needed to be given away quickly.

“Do come back in the autumn, when there will be the best tasting soybeans, sesame seeds, sweet potatoes, and Xiaomi in all of Daqi. The prices will be the same as last year when I sold to Extreme Flavor–you’re looking at just a few hundred wen per jin,” Qiao Xiaomai cheerfully added after handing out the vermicelli.

What she used to fleece people were rare goods, while those common items that every household grew, she priced very reasonably.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, “Don’t worry, Miss, we will definitely send someone to purchase them when the time comes.”

Although these items weren’t rare, they were commonly eaten as side dishes, so coming to buy some was quite good.

“Welcome back anytime~!” She waved them onto the carriage and waved heartily, “Goodbye~”

Banknotes had the magical power to heal wounds; the discomfort she’d felt earlier from Feng Huihui’s scolding had completely vanished by now.

She glanced at the chest in Tong Sanlang’s arms, her eyes curved into crescent moons, “Let’s go, it’s time to head back.”

Tong Sanlang nodded and handed the wooden chest to her, “You take it.”

Qiao Xiaomai took it over, feeling its heft, she clicked her tongue, a sweet burden indeed!

On the departing carriage, a conversation unfolded that she did not hear.

“I brought out fifty thousand taels silver this time, and I almost spent it all. Father will definitely not let me come back after we return,” one of them said.

“She really knows how to slaughter a man; those prices are outrageous,” another agreed with a nod.

“But the taste is truly exquisite!” one person sighed, “Just thinking about that spread of dishes is worth a lot of silver, aside from the Royal family, how many have tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking?”

“Her reputation is well-deserved. No wonder she went from a village girl to being in front of the retired emperor. You have to respect that skill.”

“Still, it hurts!” Thinking about the large amount of silver spent, even though the carriage was filled with what they had bought, it did not cure the pain of being overcharged, “When we return, we must promote this widely, to attract more people over here.”

Unable to outmaneuver Qiao Xiaomai, and unable to rob her openly, their only option was to drag more people down with them–it’s better to hurt together!
