New Way of Doing Business

Soon, Mu Yuchen pushed the little gangsters, that followed him, to the back of his mind.

Without losing any time, Mu Yuchen ran towards Liuojia Village. Perhaps he was in an excited state, which caused him to move faster than yesterday. Thanks to that, he managed to cover the distance between the village and Shenyang 15 minutes faster than the day before.

Once he made it to Liuojia Village, Mu Yuchen quickly rushed towards their old house.

"Lady, I'm back from the city…" Mu Yuchen shouted outside of their home, looking around for the sight of his lady…

Liu Xiaolan was awaken by his voice and sat down. She rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Little fool, you're back?"

In the morning, after helping Mu Yuchen prepare chestnuts for today she had nothing else to do. Once the sun came out and the day truly begun, she walked to the Zou family's house and once again bought some meat.

Perhaps Zou Xinhao remembered that she bought hares, so he managed to find some more of them today. Liu Xiaolan was a little puzzled, since there wasn't much time for hunting from the time she bought them yesterday, but she was still happy to buy another 2 of them.

However, once that was done and she prepared them for cooking at a later time, Liu Xiaolan once again had nothing to do. After looking at her house for some time and letting her mind run wild, she simply decided to go and sleep.

Well, it's better to sleep than to look at a wall, dazed, without any reason…

Mu Yuchen came inside their house and noticed that his lady just woke up. "Lady, did I wake you up? Sorry, I'll be more quiet next time I come back so that lady can sleep as long as she wants…"

Liu Xiaolan smiled. "It's fine, I've slept enough already. If I sleep anymore, won't I turn into a pig, just sleeping and eating?"

Mu Yuchen smiled but didn't answer. He wouldn't care if his lady turned into a pig, as long as she was happy…

"Lady, I've sold all the chestnuts again." He said before taking out the money, "Here you go lady, the total amount should add up to 15 silver coins…"

Liu Xiaolan took his pouch and sighed. It's truly not convenient to carry around money in ancient times, just look at the amount of coins here. Perhaps she should look around the city for some place to exchange her copper coins to silver?

Anyway, it's good enough to earn money. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolan happily stood up and hugged Mu Yuchen. "Little fool, you've done a good job…"

"Ah yes, Liu Jiahao wanted me to ask the lady about something…" Mu Yuchen suddenly remembered his talk with Shopkeeper Liu.

Liu Xiaolan was a little puzzled, "What does Uncle Liu want from you?"

"Liu Jiahao said that if we can guarantee to buy them, then he can get more people working on the buckets and increase their amount to 200 small buckets made daily...:"

Mu Yuchen continued, "But I wasn't sure if lady wants to continue doing this business, so I've said that I'll ask the lady when I'm home and tell him the result tomorrow…"

Liu Xiaolan listened to his words and thought about their future.

After all, she herself is pretty sure that selling chestnuts is not something she wants to do for a long time. Once she has enough capital to start a better business, she will stop doing this kind of business on the streets.

But the chestnuts do bring a good amount of income. Perhaps she should find someone that could be responsible for doing this business, while she would only provide the chestnuts?

Although she would lose some money this way, but the business could continue even without her needing to be there, and money is always money, even if the amount is smaller…

Perhaps she could also ask the person to collect raw chestnuts for her? Despite the fact that Mu Yuchen spent a few days collecting chestnuts for her, but at the current rate, if they increase the amount of buckets sold daily to 200, then their stash of chestnuts could quickly run out…

After thinking about it for another moment, Liu Xiaolan decided. Well, it's good to find someone to take over the business and only pay her some money for preparing the chestnuts.

And if there's a good opportunity, she might as well just sell the way she cooks chestnuts. After all, it's not really something hard to do, so even if she doesn't publicize her way of frying them, someone will probably figure it out in the near future…

And she might as well leave these things to some people in the village. This way at least she could partially avoid the eyes of the villagers, because even though most of them are simple folks, they can still get jealous when seeing someone earn a lot of money quickly...

Most people have already planted their land, so they've got a lot of free time. If she tells them the amount of money they could earn by selling her chestnuts, she's sure to find someone interested.

Thinking about this, Liu Xiaolan asked, "Little fool, what do you say we let some people from our village go and sell chestnuts for us? We'll only take care of preparing them…"

"It's a good idea, should I go find someone now?" Mu Yuchen very much agreed with this way of doing business. Let other people go to the city, while he can spend more time with his lady staying home.

Liu Xiaolan saw the eager look on Mu Yuchen's face and had a helpless smile on her face. Just what is going on in her little fool's mind? "Not now, I need to think about it more, we can't just let a random villager take over the sale…"

"After all, not everyone is good enough to sell things in the city. What if they go to Shenyang and make some trouble? What if they drag us in with themselves?"
