Joe's Farming

Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Shuo removed all the silver needles neatly and instructed, "Okay, remember not to touch your scalp and don't get it wet."

Then he asked Gu Gang: "How do you feel now?"

Gu Gang shook his head with a smile: "My head feels so light!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hoping nothing worse happened.

Xu Yuan then said, "Doctor Jiang, Aning and I are going to stay for dinner. Do you want to join us?"

Jiang Shuo shook his head: "I promised to go to the town clinic, let's talk about it another day."

Xu Yuan nodded and immediately sent a coachman to take the doctor back to town.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng also escorted the person to the door.

"Doctor Jiang, please come to our house early tomorrow for dinner. I will prepare delicious food for you." Qiao Yu invited.

Jiang Shuo smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will obey your command. I heard from Master Xu that Qiao Fulang's cooking skills are rare today."

Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed: "Thank you for the compliment, it's just some home-cooked dishes, see you tomorrow."

Jiang Shuo waved his hand: "See you tomorrow."

Qiao Yu looked at Xu Yuan and said, "You kid, you cheat people every day under my name?"

Xu Yuan cried out in injustice: "This is clearly the truth! Brother Qiao, what delicious food are you going to prepare for me and Aning later?"

Qiao Yu smiled helplessly and asked, "Do you want to eat anything?"

Xu Yuan turned to ask her husband: "Aning, do you want to eat anything?"

Xu Ning: …

"I can eat anything. Brother Qiao, if you need me to do anything, just tell me and I'll help you." Xu Ning said as he began to roll up his sleeves.

Qiao Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, wait. Don't be in a hurry! I plan to make braised fish, pork stewed with vermicelli, and pan-fried chicken. It's a pity that I didn't make pickled radish, otherwise I would have made pickled radish and old duck soup, and then I would have all the chicken, duck, and fish."

Xu Ning hurriedly said, "That's enough! Just make two more vegetarian dishes."

Gu Feng interrupted and said, "They haven't tasted the pressed duck yet."

Qiao Yu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I just ate it a few days ago. Are you guys tired of it?"

Xu Yuan had long been eyeing the pressed ducks hanging in the kitchen, and nodded immediately after hearing this: "Brother, it's still Brother Fu who remembers us."

Everyone smiled and started to prepare dinner. Since there were guests today, Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan to help out and he would be the chef.

Looking at the three assistants Xu Ning, Bai Lan and Qiao Xing, Qiao Yu felt that he was a very impressive chef.

The three main dishes I made today all require stewing. Fortunately, I bought a few extra casseroles when I went to town when I moved.

An hour later, all the dishes were ready.

Xu Yuan saw that all the dishes were new to her, so she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks for her husband before starting to taste it.

"This vermicelli is really good, with a nice texture and flavor," said Xu Yuan.

Qiao Yu immediately remembered that Wen Ge'er had told him that the store had received a batch of sweet potato noodles a few days ago.

"By the way, Ayuan. My store has recently received a lot of sweet potato flour and sweet potato vermicelli. See if Yipinxuan needs it. If so, go to the store and take it back. Just give the money directly to Wen Ge'er. He knows the price." Qiao Yu said. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. This was a win-win situation.

Xu Yuan nodded immediately: "I'll ask the manager to fetch a cart tomorrow. It's delicious!"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Just let the chef cook it for yourself first and control the heat."

"Ok!"

After the two families finished their meal, it was already late, and Qiao Yu sent them to the door.

"By the way, Aning, have you forgotten something?" Xu Yuan said to her husband.

Xu Ning then slapped his head and said, "Oh no! How could I have forgotten such an important thing!"

Xu Ning got into the carriage, took out an account book and a wooden box, and handed them to Qiao Yu.

"Brother Qiao, this is the account book of the soap shop for one month and your dividend. Please keep it. You can go back and calculate whether my calculation is correct." Xu Ning said a little awkwardly.

He remembered to remind himself of this matter before he left. After all, this was his first time to settle accounts. However, as soon as he arrived at Gu's house, he was busy with other things and forgot about the important matter.

Qiao Yu took them one by one. The wooden boxes were quite heavy.

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit."

After Xu Yuan got in the car, he opened the curtain and said, "Brother Qiao, can we come over in a few days to eat bacon and sausages?"

"Yes! Of course I can! I was planning to send it to you. I also have the pressed duck I made yesterday. Once it's dried, I'll take two back for your parents to taste."

Qiao Yu said with a smile.

"Hey! Thanks, Brother Qiao. Let's go."

After sending the man away, Qiao Yu went into his bedroom, turned on the light and started looking at the account book.

The handwriting in the account book was rather crude at the beginning. He had already looked at it half a month ago, but the handwriting got better and better as time went on. It seemed that Xu Ning had put a lot of effort into his handwriting.

Especially the account books of the past two days, he changed all of them into Arabic numerals, which was very comfortable for Qiao Yu's eyes.

Xu Ning kept very detailed accounts, and Qiao Yu knew there would be no mistakes or omissions without even looking closely.

When I saw the net profit of 1,323 taels and 6 cents, I was shocked!

This means that he now has six hundred and sixty-one taels and eight cents in his box!

"Brother Gu!" Qiao Yu shouted outside the house.

After a while, Qiao Xing poked his head over and said, "Daddy is chopping wood. He asked me to come over and ask what's going on?"

Qiao Yu smiled and waved: "It's okay, it's okay! Let him do his work. I'll go find him."

"Oh." Qiao Xing ran away quickly again.

Qiao Yu opened the wooden box and found five silver notes of one hundred taels, ten silver ingots of five taels, and twelve taels of change.

It’s really worth loving this younger brother.

Qiao Yu took the money out and put it in the box where he usually kept his money. This wooden box was specially used to hold pocket money for the children.

Looking at so much money, Qiao Yu felt extremely safe.

I hope there will be no turmoil in this world, but I feel a little worried when I think about it. I'll exchange the silver notes for gold and silver after the New Year.

They started using the kang these days, and the firewood at home was used up quickly, so Gu Feng chopped more firewood to burn after dinner.

It was almost completely dark, and Gu Feng saw Qiao Yu coming over with a lantern to light the way for him.

Gu Feng asked curiously: "What's the matter? You called me so loudly just now, I was startled."

Qiao Yu giggled: "Guess how much money the soap shop made last month?"

Gu Feng continued chopping wood, knowing that his husband must have made money, so he asked, "How much?"

Qiao Yu stretched out his thumb and little finger and shook them, and was so excited that he forgot that Dayan might not have such a gesture.

"Six hundred and sixty-one taels and eight cents! However, Xu Ning gave two cents more, so it's six hundred and sixty-two taels!"

Gu Feng stopped the axe in his hand and asked: "So many?"

Qiao Yu nodded proudly: "This is just the beginning. I estimate that we will sell more this month. Next month, I will release a few more gift boxes for the New Year."

Gu Feng put down the axe, picked up his husband and turned him around twice.

"I really married myself a God of Wealth!"
