Chapter 10 Moving

Qi Sui picked a good day and moved into her new home with Changsheng and the chickens she raised, holding the eggs that had just been laid this morning in her arms. There was a cowshed outside the house, which was set up for Changsheng alone. "Come, Changsheng, look, this is your luxurious single room, with a door!" Changsheng shook his head and looked very happy. Qi Sui comforted him and She began to make promises: "This is just the beginning. I will build you a bigger one later."

The chicken coop seemed a little small. It was just a small circle in the yard surrounded by a bamboo fence. She place the five chickens in and said, " A family should be neat and tidy." Actually, there were seven chickens, but when she left Shen Yu's mansion, she left two as a thank you gift. After simply tidying up the new house, Cheng An drove the ox cart to deliver the tables, chairs and other utensils that Qi Sui had customized from Carpenter Cheng.

Cheng Bao is not afraid of her at all now, she runs in happily with a small box in her arms, "Sister Sui, I'm here to see you!"

Qi Sui opened her arms and caught her. "I'm so happy! But why didn't you go to Sister Yu's school today?"

"Sister Yu said I can go to school later today."

After saying that, Cheng Bao handed her the small box in her pocket and said, "Mother knows that you found a teacher for me, so she asked me to give this to you and to thank you very much."

"What is this?" Qi Sui opened the box. Inside was a sachet embroidered with different patterns. It can be worn all year round. It also contains spices that can calm the nerves and repel mosquitoes. It can also be hung in front of the bed at night. It is very practical. She held the box in one hand and hugged Cheng Bao with the other, praising her endlessly: "Bao Jie'er's mother is really amazing. The patterns on it are embroidered just like the real ones. I will go to thank her in person someday."

Cheng An put the table and chairs in the yard, across the door: "Come out and give me a hand."

Qi Sui immediately let go, and together with Cheng An, they put the tables and chairs into the house. After a while, the empty house finally became a little lively. She felt very at ease and decided to celebrate today. This is her real home since she came to Yunyan Village. So Qi Sui invited Shen Yu and Ruo Wei to have dinner together, and she cooked four dishes and a soup herself. When the table was full of dishes, everyone stared at her.

"Why are you standing there? Don't be restrained. If it doesn't suit you, I'll make it again if you don't take it." Qi Sui urged.

Shen Yu looked at the green pepper scrambled eggs, tomato scrambled eggs, cucumber egg drop soup on the table. Every dish had eggs, Se couldn't help but laugh: "I'm afraid Madam Qi's chicken will cry."

"I didn't go to the town when I moved today so There's no meat, so I can only use eggs, you guys make do with it. "

Although that said, ordinary farmers are not willing to eat eggs, they save them and sell them, so if you think about it this way, this meal is actually a delicacy.

Cheng Bao ate happily, "Delicious!"

Qi Sui smiled and touched her head, she smiled and said, "Sister Bao is so kind!"

When the trees in the orchard were full of fruits, Qi Sui collected all kinds of fruits and gave them to Shen Yu as soon as possible. Shen Yu saw that she's holding more than ten kinds of fruits, of varying sizes, most of which she had never seen before.

"This is a lemon. You can cut it into slices and mix it with water to drink. It has the effect of nourishing the skin and resisting aging. It can also strengthen the body, which means it's not easy to get sick. This is a pomegranate, a loquat..." Qi Sui carefully explained The names and effects of each fruits.

Shen Yu listened patiently, asked a question from time to time, and did not forget to let her drink some water to relax. "These are all good things that are not available on the market. If they can be sold successfully, the profit must be quite high."

Qi Sui nodded, "Farmers in Pingyang County are busy preparing for the autumn harvest. Now is a good time to sell fruits. I calculated carefully. However, if the price is 15 wen per catty, 10 mu of land can produce hundreds of catties, and the income is stable at dozens of taels. You mentioned that the account book of the manor is short of 100 taels of silver, and it will only take half a year to fill it up."

After discussing it, Shen Yu followed Qi Sui's advice, and after she left, she called Ruo Wei to prepare paper and ink. The next day, Qi Sui and Cheng An collected two carts full of fruits before dawn and sorted them into baskets. When the sky turned slightly brighter, the two drove the ox carts to the town together. "Today is the market day, maybe we can sell out in a few hours."

Cheng An stood beside the ox cart without saying anything, but Qi Sui couldn't calm down and kept talking to Changsheng. At daybreak, the town was bustling with noise, the streets gradually became populated with people, and every corner was filled with people coming to the market, including many merchants who were trying hard to promote their own products.

Despite this, Qi Sui's fruit stall wasn't popular. She felt that her method was wrong, so she asked Cheng An tentatively: "How about we shout a few words too?"

Cheng An gave her a look, as if to say, "I won't do anything unnecessary thing".

Qi Sui waved her hands and smiled awkwardly: "I was just kidding, I'll yell it myself."

"Don't miss it if you pass by, come and have a look!"

People passing by glanced at it and walked over curiously, "What kind of fruits are these?"

Qi Sui saw that the visitor is a woman with her hair tied up and a bamboo basket on her arm, so she began to promote the efficacy of the product in prolonging life and beauty. With her sweet talk, she persuaded the woman to buy several kilograms of the product. When she left, she also gave her several apricots. Cheng An watched her silently from the side. She explained, "I'm telling the truth."

After selling the first order, several more people came. In total, they sold more than ten kilograms of fruit, but there was still some fruit left in the two trucks. After a long time, the sky was getting brighter, but the people passing by were in a hurry and had no desire to buy fruit at all. Qi Sui felt a little impatient and suddenly thought of someone. She said a few words to Cheng An and then left.

Today was the market day and the restaurant business in the town was better than usual. Liu Guanzhi was so busy that sweat broke out on his forehead and he kept asking the waiter to serve the dishes. "Boss Liu!" Qi Sui came in and shouted at him from the corner.

Liu was busy and had no time to catch up with her. He just asked, "What's up?"

"I've planted a lot of fruit recently. Can you send someone to pick some?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to find you after I finish this."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Qi Sui thanked: "Thank you very much, I will prepare it in advance." Liu was cooking and did not forget to pull out his hand to wave.

Qi Sui returned to the fruit stall and found people all around it. Cheng An was busy sorting and packing the fruits. She hurried over to help, not expecting so many guests to arrive after she had been away for only a short while. When the people dispersed, most of the goods on the cart were gone. Qi Sui thought about it and decided to make the remaining fruits into lucky bags, with three prices of 10, 15, and 20 cents for people to choose from. Later, someone bought them all.

There's nothing left for Boss Liu's side, so when he sent someone to buy it, Qi Sui apologized repeatedly and promised to deliver it personally tomorrow. Cheng An counted the money he earned carefully and gave it to her after confirming that it's correct.

Qi Sui took it and took out two strings of cash and gave them to him: "I said, half for you and half for me." This half came from her share, and Shen Yu did not touch a penny.

Cheng An only took one tael and said, "Bao Jie'er has to go to school, I won't take advantage of her."

Qi Sui shrugged and didn't argue with him. At most, she could buy more cakes for Bao Jie'er later. Thinking of cakes, she bought a bag of candied fruits before returning to the village The sun sets in the west, Qi Sui's shadow grows diagonally, and the system's voice is heard: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the development of the orchard and the subsequent tasks, and you have scored 2,000 points."

"It's really smooth beyond my expectations."
