Chapter 151： be lazy and save energy

Chapter 151 Be lazy and save some effort

Every time the Yuan family got up and went home, they would stay with the old gentleman for two days to discuss knowledge.

Because of the teachings of the old gentleman and the old lady, the children of the Qiao family are very well-behaved, no worse than the sons and young masters of rich families.

Even better than them, at the very least, getting up in the morning to exercise can be said to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

The key is that the three children of the Qiao family are very obedient and filial. As long as they are members of the family, no matter how young the three children are, they are all very caring and make your heart always warm.

The strawberry seeds were sown at the end of May, because the Ling River watered by Qiao Mai was a little diligent, no, it bears fruit.

Just in time for the Luna Festival, as soon as it was put on the shelves, it was targeted by rich people.

Fresh, huge, tender and bright red strawberries are really appetizing. The shopkeeper Niu made his own decision and priced it at five taels of silver per catty.

Qiao Mai didn't care about him, he picked strawberries and washed them for the old lady, and gave them a big bowl for the children, just like feeding piglets.

"Come, come, eat strawberries, they are fresh and delicious."

Ling'er has one in each hand. Fruits like strawberries can be regarded as the princess of the fruit and vegetable world. There is no one who does not like to eat.

Especially those grown by Qiao’s family, exuding a creamy taste, really delicious.

Business Manager Niu put two baskets on the shelf, one basket was ten catties, a total of twenty catties, and one hundred taels of silver was obtained, which was pure profit.

The shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the Qiao family and in the shop more or less tasted it in their mouths, and the owner is the best. If it is to grow grain, it can cost six taels of silver per mu, and only thirty taels of silver for five mu. Ten catties, you can earn several times the equivalent of five mu of grain.

I really admire my boss, he has ability and courage, and only with such a master can he eat meat.

The old lady also liked it very much. She guarded a large bowl of strawberries by herself, and ate half of the bowl in one go.

The rest will be distributed to the girl who waits on her. This is the best thing in Qiao's house. The servants can taste whatever the master eats.

Qiao Mai is relaxed now, he has also built a foundation, and can refine second-grade elixirs. The fields in the space are more than 10 million mu, close to 20 million mu.

Now I am starting to prepare the things for the festival. Fortunately, she has a fresh-keeping space and can make them in advance. When the time comes, the things will be the same as the ones just out of the oven. Otherwise, she will definitely be exhausted when she arrives.

Because there are more relatives and friends every year, there will be more annual ceremony preparations.

So this year, she plans to make part of the mooncakes herself, and buy the other part from the platform, so she can be lazy and save some energy.

On July 31st, the Yuan family got up and left, and on the fifth day of August, Qiao Mai started making mooncakes.

At least three pots of mooncakes are made every day, and after they are ready to cool, they are packed into her custom-made wooden box and thrown into the space.

I also bought ice skin mooncakes, crystal mooncakes, crispy mooncakes, all kinds of mooncakes that she found delicious and beautiful from the platform, and bought several copies of the same.

They also picked a lot of fruit in the space. The mayor’s house has five kinds of fruits, each in a basket weighing ten catties, three boxes of mooncakes made by her and three boxes of mooncakes bought. One copy, and Yuan Jiaqi prepared a large copy at his place, as there were more people there, the more he prepared.

She also prepared a few more copies. She was afraid that if someone came to give gifts during the holidays, she would be ashamed if she didn't prepare to return the gift.

The last pile was eaten by the family, which was richer than that for any family. She prepared eight or nine kinds of fruits alone, not to mention moon cakes.

I was busy until the tenth day of the lunar new year, when the family had already received the boxing gift.

The carpenter's family sent two boxes of mooncakes and a basket of eggs, and the Lu family also sent a lot of gifts, even Mayor Qian. They wanted to send them here earlier, because they were afraid that her etiquette would be too heavy. sorry?

The next day, she sent someone to send the festival to each family.

Wang's house, she prepared two copies, one for the old lady, and one for Wang Zongsheng. Even if Miss Wang and the others were not here, he was at home, but this gift had to be sent.

The old lady was so happy to receive these gifts, she was too greedy in this passage.

Looking at all kinds of moon cakes, she couldn't close her mouth. Those few fruits were more to her liking, and made her happier than giving her any gold, silver and jewelry.

On August 13th, Qiao Mai drove a carriage to Fucheng with a cart full of gifts.

The gift given to Wang Zongsheng first, when he heard that Qiao Mai had arrived, Wang Zhifu didn't put on airs, and came out to receive it himself, which gave Qiao Mai a lot of face.

"Ms. Qiao, I won't go to Qiao's house on Luna Festival. Please take good care of my parents?"

"Miss Wang is getting married, are you going?"

"Go, but not with you, I will ride a horse, or I will delay my official duties for a month."

"Okay, then we will go there first when the time comes."

"Well, I have to trouble Mrs. Qiao along the way."

"My lord, you are too polite."

Qiao Mai saw that the things on the carriage were unloaded, he saluted Wang Zongsheng, got on the carriage and left.

Wang Zongsheng sighed, if Mrs. Qiao were to open the workshop, it would also benefit the country and the people, so there would be nothing wrong with the Wang family. This time, the Wang family owed a lot to Mrs. Qiao.

At the gate of Fenglin Academy, Qiao Mai got out of the carriage and buckled open the side door of the school.

"Old man, I am a family member of Yuan Jiaqi, a student of your academy, and I am here to deliver something to him."

The old gatekeeper knew about this, and Yuan Jiaqi had notified him in advance.

"You wait, I'll call him"

The side door closed, and not long after, Yuan Jiaqi came up, followed by several younger scholars.

At this time, Qiao Mai had already unloaded the things in the car by the door. Seeing so many people, she still greeted them politely.

"How are you?"

"Yo, this is sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law!"

A few friends in the same dormitory stared at Qiao Mai, and the Yuan family saw them like this, so they gave it to each other.

"Moving things, first move these back to the dormitory, and I will distribute them later."

"What's the rush, sister-in-law, can we go to your house as a guest?"

"Yes, Xianggong's friend is my friend. Welcome everyone to sit at home."

"The Chinese New Year is over for us, you can't dislike us for being noisy."

"No, I'll cook something delicious for you here."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Our brothers thank you in advance."

Yuan Jiaqi looked at the way they owed their children, and raised their feet to kick them.

"Hurry up and move, your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, don't eat until you move for a while."

"Move, move, why don't we move?"

Under the care of Xiao Whip from the Yuan family, things were moved in by these people one by one. There was a box in Qiao Mai's hand all the time.

She stepped forward and handed it to the old gatekeeper, "This is the mooncake I made, I hope you like it."

"Yo, I still have my share." The old gatekeeper was very happy.

"nature"

"Thanks"

The old man took it, and Yuan Jiaqi saw that she was thoughtful in everything she did, and no one could fault her. Whenever he saw her, his heart was always full of happiness.

"Miss, you've worked hard, and you gave me a special trip so far away."

"It happened to be a gift for Mr. Wang, so I brought it here together. You know about our going to the capital, right?"

"Sir told me."

"Don't worry, I will take care of several children, and let them see the world when I get there, and nothing will happen. You can study here with peace of mind."

"I don't worry about your work. When are you going to leave?"

"On the 18th, I arrived in Beijing at the beginning of the month, and came back after playing for more than half a month. It may be the end of September when I get home."

"Then the children are free."

"I've made arrangements at home, you can use the money to withdraw from the shopkeeper Niu."

Yuan Jiaqi took a deep breath, "Okay, I won't see you off."

The two of you said one sentence to each other, and after Qiao Mai left, the old gatekeeper smiled and looked at Yuan Jiaqi.

"It's really loving, it's been so long."

Yuan Jiaqi blushed, he really wanted to be affectionate, but Mrs. Qiao didn't give him a chance, and he didn't know how to say sweet words.

When the two of them met and talked, they always said things in a clear and orderly manner, and after they finished talking, they went to their own business.

He is also worried, who will teach him.
