After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Zhu Yu also changed his previous tentative approach and sincerely stated the purpose of his visit this time: "Miss Bai, I heard that you have a batch of preserved eggs that you are anxious to sell. My mother owns a restaurant in the county. The preserved eggs are selling well now, and my restaurant also wants to try selling some. I wonder if Miss Bai is willing to sell the preserved eggs to me?"

This wave of operations made Bai Qingyun helpless. Now there are many substitutes that are cheaper than Bai's. "Why did Master Zhu take a fancy to my preserved eggs? You have to control costs when doing business. My prices are more expensive than other stores. If you really buy my preserved eggs, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to your mother!"

"Miss Bai, what you said is wrong! Although doing business is about cost, you get what you pay for. Miss Bai's preserved eggs always taste better. Although ordinary people can't taste it, people like me who are particular about food can still tell!"

"What's more, my restaurant mostly entertains distinguished guests, so the prices will naturally be higher than the original prices. If the quality cannot be guaranteed, it will easily ruin the reputation."

The words were very sincere, and Bai Qingyun no longer had any doubts. He asked Wang Er to clean up the inventory and sell the more than 200 kilograms of preserved eggs to Zhu Yu at one time.

But the preserved eggs on the Bai family’s stall are sold individually. They sell 200 kilograms at a time, so it’s not convenient to count them one by one.

The eggs Xie Shuer bought were relatively large, with about ten to twelve eggs per pound. Bai Qingyun waved his hand and directly sold ten eggs per pound. Two hundred pounds of preserved eggs was two thousand preserved eggs, and at ten cents per egg, the remaining preserved eggs were sold for a total of twenty taels of silver.

After the business deal was settled, Zhu Yu did not stay long. He just exchanged some pleasantries with a few people and asked the servant to take the preserved eggs back to the restaurant.

After receiving the silver, Bai Qingyun paid Wang Er two taels of silver as wages. Two taels of silver was already a high salary, not to mention that Wang Er had only worked for more than ten days. After some refusal, Wang Er finally accepted the money and was responsible for the sale of the house in the county town.

Xie Shuer and Xie Li spent a lot of time and effort on everything from purchasing eggs to making and selling them. Bai Qingyun directly gave each of them a monthly stipend of five taels of silver. It had been exactly one month since they bought the house, so the two did not refuse.

Xie Shuer received her monthly salary for the first time in her life, so she simply stopped watching the stall and took Bai Qingyun for a stroll on the street.

"Yun'er, I'll treat you to some candied haws this time, how about that?"

"Okay, then let Sister Shu'er pay for it today!"

The two of them walked around. Time always flies when sisters are shopping. They looked at clothes in one shop and jewelry in another. Xie Shuer even bought Bai Qingyun a silver hairpin as a token of gratitude. The texture was not very good, but the style was very novel. Bai Qingyun was reluctant to use it for a while because she had a lively personality and was afraid that if it fell off, she would cry without knowing where to put it, so she had to keep it in her space.

In Xie Shuer's eyes, it was like Bai Qingyun carefully putting it into her purse, and she quickly said, "Yun'er, don't worry, if you drop it, I'll buy you another one!"

Bai Qingyun then took it out and asked Xie Shuer to help him put it on.

The two of them were shopping happily, and thinking that they would have to go home the next day, they bought some gifts for their parents and three brothers. They didn't finish shopping until the sun set and then went home.

Father Bai entrusted the house to a local real estate agent to sell it. The real estate agent had a wide network of contacts and could sell the house more efficiently and at a lower price, which was much easier. However, the family had to be left alone, so he asked Wang Er from next door to help and occasionally look after it.

Early the next morning, everyone packed their luggage, had breakfast and prepared to go home.

The way back was by water, just like the way here, passing through Baiyang Town, but it was not as easy as the way there. Although the luggage of the Xie family was sold or given away, some of their underwear and personal belongings still needed a few packages!

Father Bai often went to Hongyunlou to deliver fish, and was familiar with Manager Xu, so he borrowed the restaurant's carriage. Although Grandpa Xie's health had improved, he still needed conditioning due to a long illness, so he sat in the carriage with his luggage.

It was Xie Shuer's first time to travel far away. Bai Qingyun was afraid that she would not be used to it, so he accompanied Xie Shuer for a walk on the streets of Baiyang Town.

"Sister Shu'er, look, that's where my brothers go to school. I guess they are all busy studying now, but they all go home at night. My brothers are all very good. They usually teach me to read and write, and take me to the mountains to play in their spare time. When you come, we can go play together!"

As if infected by Bai Qingyun's cheerful mood, Xie Shuer's mood also became cheerful. It seemed that there was a little more breath of life here than in Qujiang County!

After driving along a long dirt road, the village of Dayang slowly began to appear in sight.

Bai Qingyun had good eyesight. He spotted Grandma Bai waiting at the entrance of the village. He took Xie Shuer by the hand and started running, shouting, "Grandma, I'm back."

He ran closer and hugged Grandma Bai: "Grandma, I miss you~"

Grandma Bai was surrounded by her granddaughter's sweet and coquettish behavior, but she still didn't forget to scold her: "You kid, you've been gone for so many days, and you still miss me, an old lady. I'm afraid you've lost your desire to play!"

Then he looked at Xie Shuer who was standing beside him and said kindly, "This is Shuer! Good child, you have suffered a lot. You should treat this place as your own home. Now you are back home!"

The last time Bai Qingyun went home, he told his family about his experiences in the county town, and naturally told everyone about the situation of the Xie family. The old people were kind-hearted towards Xie Shuer's experience, and they felt distressed when they heard about it. Now that they saw her, they were naturally very surprised.

Xie Shuer was dazed by the enthusiasm. For the first time in her life, she felt the warmth from someone other than her grandfather, and she suddenly understood the meaning of home and family.

Father Bai just arrived in his carriage, and the group went straight home without much greeting.

Grandma Bai had prepared lunch a long time ago. She made it rich to welcome the new family member. Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Xie hit it off right away and drank wine together. No one knew how much they drank.

All I know is that the two of them left the table, one was Brother Bai and the other was Brother Xie, both of them looked like they regretted not meeting each other earlier!

It was still daytime, but the two men had already met Zhou Gong under the influence of alcohol.

Bai Qingyun took the opportunity to stroll around the house when he had nothing to do.

The house was renovated under the management of Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai. A few rooms were added next to the original house and the backyard was also widened. The two old people originally planned to buy the several acres of wasteland in the backyard, which would be very convenient whether for farming or building a house. However, Bai Qingyun did not agree and gave up!

Bai Qingyun's idea was very simple. If the world was unstable, these lands might not be planted next year after purchase. Wouldn't it be a waste of time then? It would be better to wait and see the situation before making plans.

Under Grandpa Bai's planning, the expanded backyard turned the originally messy courtyard into neat and orderly.

The cowshed along the courtyard wall is connected to a simple woodshed, which makes it convenient for feeding and far away from the living area.

At Grandpa Bai's strong insistence, the magical tree in the backyard was moved to the vacant land in the village, leaving only a lonely pear tree in the yard.

But now is the season when pears are ripe, and the branches of the tree are filled with pears, which looks particularly tempting.
