166 Selling Cold Cakes at the Entrance of the Academy

“Alright, we’re almost done shopping. Let’s go back.” Li Xiao asked her to return before evening, and it would take her another 30 minutes to get back.

“Yes.” The two of them replied.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue turn the ox-cart around and rode in the direction of the village.

When they got home, the two children went to the field to find Li Xiao.

Lin Xiaoyue went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

It was another sumptuous meal. The Liu family members felt very fulfilled as they ate the delicious food.

Lin Xiaoyue then told Liu Shi and Li Xiao about her plan to set up a stall near Qingyun Academy to sell cold cakes.

“There are many people coming from the academy after school, so there’s a business opportunity there. But it will be late and it’ll be dark when you return.” Liu Shi said worriedly.

“It’s not too late. Cla.s.s ends at fifteen minutes past seven. I’ll go there after I deliver the goods to Ruyi Restaurant. We will stay there for just one hour.”

“I’ll be back from town in half an hour. When I come back, I might still be able to help you cook.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi.

“But you’ll have to prepare dinner first.”

Liu Shi looked back at her daughter, “cooking is a small matter. I’m just worried that you’ll be too tired.”

She would go to the west of the city in the morning, come back in the afternoon to make cold cakes, deliver the goods, and then set up a stall. She wouldn’t have much time to rest.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, “what’s the big deal? Since the cold cakes are popular now, we should make more money. Otherwise, when winter comes, I’m afraid they won’t be able to sell.”

Ruyi Restaurant might still order some. However, it was not possible to set up a stall on the streets.

Liu Shi paused.

“That’s true.”

The cold cakes couldn’t be sold in the winter, and they would have to think of other means to make money.

If all else fails, she would just do embroidery work.

She would be able to get through the winter by taking a big job at the workshop.

Now that the situation at home was better, she was not afraid of not being able to find work. She should buy an embroidery frame.

“I’ll go with you,” Li Xiao suddenly said.

He was worried about her returning too late.

Liu Shi immediately nodded.

She looked at Li Xiao with approval.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

Just as she was about to talk about planting chili seedlings, Li Xiao spoke again.

“I’ve already planted the chili seedlings. I’ll add some ash tomorrow morning and water them.”

“I’ll go to town with you in the afternoon, and we’ll take a look at the dock. If I can find a job there, I’ll go to the academy to pick you up and come back with you.”

“Alright,” she said.

Although she wasn’t afraid, Li Xiao’s presence could indeed save her a lot of trouble.

Thus, the matter of selling cold cakes outside Qingyun Academy was settled.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoyue ground another 12 pounds of rice and made 10 buckets of cold cakes.

Together with Li Xiao, she sent the cold cakes to the pond. After washing up, Lin Xiaoyue went back to rest.

There were a total of 26 buckets of cold cakes in the pond now. Ruyi Restaurant ordered 4 and she was going to bring more with her when she set up the stall. She would bring 16 buckets to sell on the streets, so that’s a total of 20.

16 buckets were 400 bowls of cold cakes. She didn’t know if they could be sold out.

Whatever, she would sell as many as she could.

Filled with antic.i.p.ation, Lin Xiaoyue closed her eyes and quickly entered dreamland.

It was dawn when she woke up.
