General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 56

56 Beg Her

“Is it available for sale in town?” a cook asked.

“No,” said the chef.

“What about the prefectural city?” Manager Sun asked.

Master Fu shook his head. “There’s no such thing in the prefectural city either. These salted eggs are all for the high officials and nobles in the capital. Ordinary small provinces and counties can’t sell them.”

“That’s not right.” Manager Sun wondered, “If this thing is only sold in the capital, could that girl have bought it from the capital?”

It was late today, and the regular customers were anxious.

“Are you getting arrogant? Jin Ji has already sold two pots!”

Shen Chuan said gloomily.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Eh? Why are you here today?”

“I was passing by,” Shen Chuan said.

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao wrapped five salted egg yolk pastries and handed them to the auntie in front of her. “Your snacks are 100 copper coins.”

The yolk pastry cost ten copper coins more than the wife cake and chestnut cake.

“Here, the list.” Shen Chuan casually handed her the list.

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. “You specially came to give me the list? Actually, there’s no need. After we finish our business here, we’ll go to the academy to get it ourselves.”

Shen Chuan said angrily, “I said I was passing by and brought it to you!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “You’re a little angry today. Did you get into a fight with the dean again?”

Shen Chuan sighed. “He insisted that I go to the city to study after spring. I don’t want to go!”

This was a family matter, and it was not convenient for Su Xiaoxiao to interfere.

“For you.” Su Xiaoxiao wrapped a set of snacks for him. “It’s for you. No charge.”

“What?” Shen Chuan asked.

“To comfort you,” Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Shen Chuan was speechless.

Shen Chuan coughed lightly. “I’m a man. Do I need a little girl like you to comfort me? Here!”

He threw a small silver to Su Xiaoxiao. “There’s no need to look. I’m happy today!”

He was going to squander his father’s wealth!

He would squander the money ruthlessly!

After squandering his wealth, Eldest Young Master Shen swaggered away.

Su Xiaoxiao handed the silver to Su Ergou and put it away. “Do you understand?”

Su Ergou shook his head in a daze.

He didn’t understand. Why did Young Master Shen give his sister more money when she didn’t want it?

Su Xiaoxiao patted his shoulder. “Learn slowly.”

There was clearly much less traffic on the streets than before. In addition, they had arrived too late. Many customers waited for a long time and thought that they would not be setting up their stall today.

“Sister, it’s a little slow today,” Su Ergou said.

“It’s fine. It’s normal to have ups and downs in business.” Su Xiaoxiao’s mentality was very good. She was probably really generous and not anxious at all.

The money she had on hand was not earned from the snack and braised food business. She had earned 45 taels of silver from selling the formula and 30 taels of silver from Young Master Xiang. She did not have to worry about being hungry in the short term.

However, her business had to be expanded slowly. If she wanted to expand the production scale, she had to invest more capital.

Besides, the house was old. This house was built when Madam Chen and Father Su got married. More than ten years had passed, and the walls had cracked, the roof was piling, and there were leaks.

She planned to put the construction of the house on the agenda after spring.

With this calculation, she would have to spend the money she earned before she could save it.
