"This thing must be valuable, right?" Mr. Zhou carefully put the glass cup back into the box, and his tone became much gentler when he spoke to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang smiled without saying anything. He had bought a glass cup at the supermarket before. The supermarket was having a promotion and he spent a total of 9.9 yuan on it. It was indeed worth a lot of money.

"This is a glass cup that my relative brought back from a neighboring country. The craftsman fired a transparent and flawless glass cup by chance, but their craftsmanship is crude. If you look closely at this glass cup, you will find it a bit rough."

How can the workmanship of a glass cup that costs 9.96 yuan not be crude?

They are all low-end industrial products.

Mr. Zhou nodded in agreement. He also saw that. However, if the workmanship of this glass cup was exquisite, the price would probably increase several times. It would be a pity to give such an expensive item to the county magistrate. Now it is just right.

Jiang Jiang pointed at the glass and continued, "My relative told me that he spent five hundred taels of silver to buy this glass. He can sell it to the Zhou family for six hundred taels of silver and earn some money for the trip. I just hope that the Zhou family can take care of our family more on weekdays."

After hearing what was said, Master Zhou thought for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "If this kind of glass cup is sold in the county or the provincial capital, the price will probably be no less than a thousand taels. If it is sold to Jiangnan, the price can be doubled. This time we are getting a good deal."

"Well, my Zhou family will buy these six glass cups for eight hundred taels of silver. As for the care you mentioned, my Zhou family will certainly provide as much help as possible within its capabilities."

They also sent people to Daxi Village to inquire about the situation of Jiang Jiang's family. The villagers said that there was indeed a distant relative who they had just met, and that was why they came to the town to do business.

In addition, over the past period of time, the Jiang Jiang family has been law-abiding in their conduct and work, and they always sell enough ice cream by weight, without any cheating or slacking off, so the Zhou family also wants to make friends with them.

Mrs. Zhou was relieved to see that things were going well. She smiled and invited Jiang Jiang to stay for dinner, but Jiang Jiang declined using the excuse of having children at home.

Both parties believe that this is a win-win deal.

Oops, I accidentally made another 800 taels of profit.

Jiang Jiang became more resolute in his inner thoughts. It is meaningless to make money from the poor and save a few cents at a time. If he is going to make money, he should make money from the rich!

After coming to this world for more than a month, Jiang Jiang not only harvested more than ten tons of various grains, but also saved up more than two thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Anyone who sees this will have to say, "rich sister, cuddle up."

Jiang Jiang felt that his trip to the county town would soon be put on the schedule.

Having made another big deal, Jiang Jiang returned to his stall in a good mood.

The sweet water shop that used to be packed with guests was now less than half full. Li Cuicui was sitting on a bench, waving a rag boredly.

Seeing Xiao Shitou still working non-stop, Jiang Jiang said helplessly: "Xiao Shitou, take a rest. The weather is so hot, don't get a heat stroke."

When Little Shitou saw the auntie coming back, he smiled brightly. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It's okay. I have plenty of strength."

Seeing that a table of guests had just left, Xiao Shitou rushed before Li Xu to clean up the dishes and wipe the table.

When Li Xu saw such a diligent little stone, he couldn't help but think of his two naughty sons.

"It would be great if Dongliang and Yuanchang were half as diligent as Xiao Shitou. We should bring them to the stall to help out someday."

This was just a joke from Li Xu, but it scared Xiao Shitou badly.

"Okay, okay, in a few days, we'll take a day off and buy some gifts for the two children as a gift to their teacher. We agreed to let them go to school, but it's been delayed for a month."

Little Stone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then showed an envious look. Reading, what a distant word it was. He had grown up but he couldn't even write his own name.

After sitting at the stall for a while, Jiang Jiang saw that there were no more customers, so he clapped his hands and asked everyone to pack up the stall and close the business early.

Xiao Shitou counted out the wages Jiang Jiang gave him and hid them in his pocket. It was great to have another income today.

He said hello to Jiang Jiang's family and was about to leave when Jiang Jiang stopped him.

"Little Stone, come here." Jiang Jiang waved.

Little Stone didn't understand what was going on, but he still went forward obediently.

Jiang Jiang took out a piece of clothing and tried it on Xiao Shitou. It was a little too big, but children grow fast, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Here, this is for you."

The two pieces of cloth that Mrs. Zhou sent were too expensive for ordinary people, and Jiang Jiang and the others could not wear them when they worked, so she kept one piece of cloth and exchanged the other piece for three pieces of ordinary cotton cloth at the cloth shop. She made two sets of clothes for everyone in the family, and there were some scraps left, so she made one for Xiao Shitou.

Little Shitou had never worn new clothes since his parents died. He held the clothes Jiang Jiang gave him and tears fell from his eyes.

"Aunt, you are so kind to me."

Jiang Jiang touched the child's head with a bit of pampering.

"It's just a piece of clothing, why are you crying? When you grow up and earn money, you can buy one for your aunt."

Little Stone nodded his head like pounding garlic, "I will definitely buy better clothes for Auntie in the future."

Sun Qiaoqiao was a little jealous because she had made the dress herself.

Fortunately, Xiao Shitou did not forget about others. He thanked everyone. Li Cuicui was the most shy. She usually asked Xiao Shitou to help her with this and that, but this kid thanked her, which made Li Cuicui confused.

Little Shitou couldn't wait to go home to show his new clothes to his grandfather. As usual, Jiang Jiang and his friends cut half a pound of meat before going back, and gave two cents to buy the pig's offal.

"Mom, let's fry some kidneys tonight."

"I think braised pork intestines are delicious too."

"Why don't you stew them in a pot? They are delicious when stewed."

Ever since my family tried the marinated pig offal, they immediately found it delicious.

It tastes like meat and is much cheaper than pork.

Sometimes stewing some pork bone soup and cooking some noodles is also very delicious.

During this period, everyone in the family has become plumper and looks better, and the children's hair is finally no longer dull and yellow.

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the village and people walk together, carrying hoes on their shoulders, back home.

Some villagers who passed by Jiang Jiang's house smelled the fragrance coming from her house and became even hungrier.

"Li Ming's family is getting better and better now. They can eat meat every now and then." There was a hint of envy and jealousy in his tone.

"It doesn't look like meat. People buy pig offal, which is much cheaper than meat, but it's more troublesome to cook."

When he heard that it was pig offal, the person who had spoken just now felt much more balanced. He heard that they made money in the town, but they only bought pig offal to eat and couldn't even afford meat.

Huang Ying brought out a pot of braised pork offal and a pot of rice, and everyone ate with relish.

The half pound of pork and ginger I cut today have been pickled with salt. I plan to make it into bacon, which can be preserved for a long time.

"Aunt Jiang, are you eating meat?"
