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

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1109 Money in Burlap Sacks_1 Chapter 1310: Chapter 1109 Money in Burlap Sacks_1 “Right, I want ten pigs, a hundred chickens, and fifty sheep,” the head of the Chen Family added, “and a cartful of these fresh vegetables.”

He was the only estate owner on this trip, and moreover, an owner from a first-class Aristocratic Family. Although he felt like he was being overcharged at the moment, the food was genuinely delicious. He was a foodie; he loved to eat, and so with a wave of his hand, he bought as much as he wished.

His love was for gourmet food; he had no interest in those money-burning hobbies like antiques and calligraphy paintings.

Pouring all the money he would have spent on those items into gourmet food, his actions weren’t wasteful at all.

Moreover, his mood at this moment was somewhat delicate; he knew he was being overcharged, but there was also a flicker of joy in his heart.

In the past, it was always the antiques, calligraphy paintings, beauties, and fine horses that were valuable. Gourmet food?

It was something that couldn’t make it to the table, absolutely not qualifying to be mentioned in the same breath as those items.

Now with Qiao Xiaomai making a move, she had raised the price of gourmet food to be even more expensive than those items. Despite being overcharged, there was still a trace of happiness.

“Alright! So, will you personally pick out the pigs after you finish your meal?” Qiao Xiaomai liked those who were generous. The head of the Chen Family had ordered so much in one go, and there was a heap of silver lining her pocket again!

“Agreed,” the head of the Chen Family nodded.

The pork they were currently eating at the dinner table was personally selected by him–each one fat and well-fed, with flesh so white it blushed pink– the more he looked, the happier he got!

Seeing that the head of the Chen Family had finalized his purchases, others started to call out what they wanted as well.

Even knowing they were being overcharged, they at least had brought tens of thousands of taels of silver, and buying a bit of something was well within their means.

Not to mention, just today’s banquet, neither Extreme Flavors Residence nor Zuixian Building could serve up food with such taste. It was worth it.

Qiao Xiaomai took a charcoal pencil and noted down what everyone wanted one by one.

After tasting the spicy crayfish, they tried the watermelon. The flavor of the watermelon goes without saying, truly living up to its reputation and justifying its price.

Sour Plum Soup to start, high-quality meats in between, and watermelon to finish–the meal was utterly satisfying.

At that moment, Tong Sanlang came over with the crayfish, fifty pounds for each person, and placed the tubs filled with crayfish onto the carts. He followed the crowd to the pigpen to select livestock.

They rounded up the livestock as per everyone’s requests and loaded them onto the carts, and then it was time to settle the accounts.

Tong Sanlang did the calculations with paper and pencil while Qiao Xiaomai collected the money with a sack.

They couldn’t use wooden boxes anymore as they were too small to fit everything–she used a big sack intended for storing wheat.

Just the head of the Chen Family alone bought items worth 170,000 taels of silver, and he didn’t have enough banknotes on him, so he had his attendant fetch more from the Money House in Bailu Town.

The silver carried by the group wasn’t sufficient, so the owner of the Money House came directly with a cart, which was filled with banknotes.

Once all the accounts were settled, Qiao Xiaomai’s sack was half full, and she had accrued over a million in her account.

Yang Ye, who had been hanging around jokingly, picked up the sack to gauge its weight and clucked his tongue several times, “Like the reincarnation of the Goddess of Wealth!”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai gave him a glance, “Goddess of Wealth my ass, in the end, this silver will all go to the Yang Family.”

At the moment, her gains seemed abundant, but she was burdened with debts totaling over a billion!

Moreover, this year’s banquet had halved the livestock in her manor, a thousand pounds less of crayfish, and the vegetables were almost completely picked clean–all these were losses!

After this haul, it would be a while before anyone visited the manor again.

This was like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

There was no joy in it, not the slightest bit.
