Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment. Everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat and no one spoke again.

My cousin’s aunt was unhappy, but at least she knew that this was not her home.

She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fish in the bowl and put it into her mouth. As soon as it took a bite, the old lady's eyes lit up and she said in her heart, "It's delicious."

The fish was really delicious, better than any she had eaten before.

She rarely looked up at her niece, and she didn't expect that the little girl had such skills.

However, she just looked at Zheng Xiaoman twice more and didn't take it too seriously.

No matter how capable you are, you still have to get married.

This meal might be the most silent meal Zheng Xiaoman had had since he came here.

Fortunately, the old lady did not stay at home for too long. Not long after dinner, a servant came and took her away.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the carriage going away with envy in his eyes.

She thought her family should buy a carriage so that they could go anywhere much faster.

Although there is an ox cart at home, the old ox pulls the cart too slowly.

Wait a little longer. Her first month's share from selling ice cream should be back soon. Then we'll see how much money she can get.

Now with the cooperation with Cao Jun, many of her previous ideas can be put into practice.

She sells ice cream in the summer and hot pot base in the winter, so she is sure to make a lot of money.

Cao Jun, who was being cared for by Zheng Xiaoman in the south, was currently negotiating the ice business with several large trading companies.

The ice stored in the south is not enough every summer, especially this summer is particularly hot and humid.

Now that Cao Jun has come, he has directly lowered the price of whole ice in the market by 10%.

His abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of many businesses.

Finally, Cao Jun selected three businesses to cooperate with and received the deposit for the first order.

He knew that many people would be watching him secretly, so when he bought the saltpeter, he also bought many other things to confuse other people's sight.

At the same time, he launched two new cold drinks in all the pastry shops under his name, which immediately set off a trend of cold drinks among the whole nation.

The ice cubes he used to make cold drinks were not made directly from saltpeter.

Zheng Xiaoman also taught him a method that not only did he not need to add saltpeter to ice when making ice, but he could also recycle the used saltpeter.

However, this method is much more troublesome. If it is not ice cubes at the entrance, it is more convenient to use saltpeter directly.

By September, the weather in the north had become much cooler in the mornings and evenings.

At this time, many acorns on the mountain have ripened. Before the autumn harvest, everyone starts to go up the mountain with baskets on their backs to pick acorns.

Cao Jun also specially arranged a manager to go to the village to be responsible for the acorn collection business.

They bought acorns at one cent for two pounds, and acorn powder at ten cents per pound.

There are also requirements for collecting acorn powder. First of all, the taste should not be too bitter.

This requires that the acorns that everyone picks up must be soaked in clean water for many days before they can be made into acorn powder.

If you don’t want to go through all the trouble, just sell acorns. If you want to make more money, sell acorn powder.

After the manager collected the acorns here, he took them to the shop in the city by horse-drawn carriage for further processing.

For a while, Wangjia Village was bustling with cars coming and going.

Many people from other villages came to watch the fun. Seeing that people from other villages could get money directly after selling acorns, they were so envious that their eyes were red.

Some people want to go directly to the person in charge and ask him if they can collect the money in their village.

There are also acorns in their village, so it doesn’t matter whose fruits they are.

Some people even told the person in charge directly that the price they wanted was lower than that of Wangjia Village and it would be more cost-effective to accept their price.

The manager sent here by Cao Jun is no shortsighted person. He does not offend anyone and always has a smile on his face when facing these people.

"I'm just a manager. I can't make the decision on this matter. As for why they only collect in Wangjia Village? Haha, I don't know."

Seeing his stubborn attitude, the people who came could only leave unwillingly.

After these people left, the manager smiled and no longer paid attention to them.

Zheng Xiaoman's family did not participate in selling acorns, and their family does not need to rely on them to make money now.

Just a few days ago, her family bought another 20 acres of mountain land and 11 acres of farmland in the village.

After the beginning of next spring, all these fields will be used to grow sweet potatoes on a large scale.

This year, acorns attract everyone's attention, but their sweet potatoes can be kept secret for another year.

By next year, they will no longer be able to hide their sweet potatoes.

When the time comes, apart from the ones I use myself, the rest can be distributed to the villagers as sweet potato seeds.

These past two days, Zheng Dashan and Old Man Zheng have been on the mountain, picking up acorns from their own twenty acres of land.

They brought all the acorns back for their own use. Zheng Xiaoman and Zhou Chunfeng tied the bags of acorns tightly and then put them in the river behind the house to soak.

"Da da da"

While the mother and daughter were busy in the yard, they heard the sound of a car approaching outside the yard.

Zheng Xiaoman stood up and walked to the door, and saw the big carriage that she envied.

At this moment, she no longer felt envious. Instead, she wanted to shout, "It's only been a few days since he left. Why is he here again?"

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a girl in a light yellow dress appeared from inside.

The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old and looked very quiet.

She has fair skin, a standard oval face, bright eyes and white teeth, and a very decent smile on her lips.

When the girl got off the carriage, she saw Zheng Xiaoman standing at the door.

She nodded slightly to Zheng Xiaoman, then turned around and reached out to help the old lady out of the car.

Zheng Xiaoman felt a headache whenever he looked at the old lady. No matter in her past life or this life, she had never been a rule-abiding person.

She really couldn't like such a serious elder.

Zheng Xiaoman turned around and shouted to her mother, "Mom, it's my aunt who is here."

Zhou Chunfeng also frowned slightly, then stood up and wiped his hands.

You said to this old lady, if you came here to recognize your relatives, wouldn't you be closer to his father-in-law?

Why don't you go to the old house when you come here, but always go to their house?

Because of what happened at the last meal, Zhou Chunfeng didn't have a good impression of this elder who suddenly appeared.

But no matter how much she dislikes it, she still has to observe the proper etiquette as a junior.

When Zhou Chunfeng walked to the gate of the courtyard, her old aunt also happened to come over.

The girl in yellow clothes supported her and walked beside her, and behind the two of them was an old woman carrying a bundle.

Zhou Chunfeng greeted with a smile on her face, "Aunt is here, why didn't you send someone to tell us so that we can pick you up."

There is actually another meaning to this statement, which is that when you visit someone's house, don't you remember to tell them in advance?

Although they are not a wealthy family, they usually go down the mountain to see what would happen if someone came and there was no one at home.

It was unclear whether the old lady understood the meaning of Zhou Chunfeng's words or not. She just hummed without any expression.
