Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm Chapter 184 Going to the Jiang Family

184 Going to the Jiang Family

Yes, after making a pot of cold cakes, the pot had to be washed.

This was to wash up any remaining cooked cold cakes. If it continued to heat up, it would become mush.

It was easy for the cooked rice paste to get burnt, and a little bit of burnt smell would affect the whole pot.

Hence, Lin Xiaoyue busied herself in the kitchen for more than two hours before she finished making all eight pots of cold cakes.

When the last pot was out, Lin Xiaoyue washed the pot and cleaned up the kitchen. Only then was the work done.

Aunt w.a.n.g had already carried two buckets of cold cakes out.

Lin Xiaoyue muttered as she took off her ap.r.o.n.

“I’ll go to town to deliver the goods later, and then I’ll go to the grocery store and buy a few buckets and a big pot.”

This time, Liu Shi did not stop her. In fact, she agreed.

“It’s faster to cook two pots at the same time.”

They were making more and more cold cakes, and the tools at home were indeed not enough.

It was not a big deal to store some extra utensils. The house was big enough anyway.

The cold cake business wasn’t only going on for this year. The utensils could still be used next year.

“One water tank in the backyard isn’t enough. I have to buy another one,” Lin Xiaoyue added.

It was a pity that there was no way to direct water to her house. She could only rely on Li Xiao to fetch water from the stream every day.

Fortunately, the stream was right next to their house.

“Sure, do as you see fit,” Liu Shi said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyue chatted with Liu Shi for a while, and then told her about her plan to ask the Jiang family to help harvest gra.s.s and gather firewood.

“We don’t have to use coa.r.s.e firewood. Xiao Hua and the others can pick up some fine firewood. We need one or two bundles a day. As for the gra.s.s, a basket is enough,” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi nodded.

“Okay, then I’ll go to the Jiang family and ask them about this. Let’s see if they are willing to take on the job.”

“Wait, mom,” Seeing that Liu Shi was about to go out, Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped her.

“Yes?” Liu turned around and looked at her daughter.

“Ask them if they’re willing to help harvest black locusts. We won’t have time to harvest them, so if they’re willing to do it, we’ll buy them at the price of 3 wen per catty.”

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and said, “well…and we want 200 catties.”

“Sure!” Liu Shi replied with a smile.

The soap her daughter made was very useful, and it was good for washing hair and clothes. They could store 200 catties of black locusts. When the soap liquid was used up, they wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough to make more.

“By the way, remember to remind them to be careful of the thorns. See what happened to Erya!” Lin Xiaoyue thought of w.a.n.g Erya and reminded her.

“I know!” Liu Shi said with a smile and prepared to leave.

Then, she stopped and turned around.

“Anything else?” She asked his daughter.

Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“No, mom.”

Only then did Liu Shi leave.

Lin Xiaoyue put down her ap.r.o.n, took the remaining two pots of cold cakes and went out.

Just as she reached the side of the road, she saw that Aunt w.a.n.g had already placed the cold cakes in the ponds and was walking back.

“Aiyo, why are you doing my job?” Aunt w.a.n.g quickly ran over to take the cold cakes.

“It’s fine. These are the last two pots,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“I’ll do it. You can go back now.”

Not only did Aunt w.a.n.g have a sick daughter, but she also had two pigs to take care of.
