Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 132: Applying for a Horse-drawn Carriage Rental and Preparing for Business

Listening to the compliments from her family and seeing their expressions as if they had discovered a surprise, Qiao Jianer realized how exaggerated the lies they were about to tell her were.

Even if it tastes bad, you still have to praise her like this.

Fortunately, the dishes she cooked did not disappoint these words.

However, Qiao Jianer is not completely sure now that her family likes the meals she cooks.

Because these methods are different from usual ones, the taste is also different.

She said, "Then during this time, everyone will go to the river, and I will cook for everyone every day."

"Okay, thinking about having such delicious food to eat gives me more energy to work." Qiao Dameng responded happily without any hesitation.

"Then we are so lucky. Jian'er's cooking skills are so good. After I'm done with this busy period, I will learn from Jian'er." Feng also said.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food, Qiao Jianer was convinced that her cooking skills were up to par.

The dishes were quite large in portion, and in the end everyone scraped off every ounce of oil on the plates, so it looked like they didn’t even need to be washed, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Qiao Jianer calculated that the secondary categories in the space were about to be unlocked. When the time came, he would use these crops to make money. How would he explain where they came from?

It still needs something to cover it up, and that is a carriage.

But it was too expensive to buy both the horse and the carriage. The horse and the carriage cost eighty taels, and the carriage cost twenty taels, so the total cost was one hundred taels.

Qiao Jianer went to Old Lady Qiao to discuss: "Grandma, can we rent a carriage?"

"Kamera, do you want to rent a carriage?"

"Well, buying a carriage is too expensive, so I'd like to rent one, if it's possible."

"You can rent one. There's a stable in our town. The average one costs three taels of silver a month, and a good one costs five taels. Most people can't afford it, so few people rent carriages. Those who run carriages are mainly the servants of the stable. Otherwise, they can't even make back the cost of rent."

"After this period, they will go to the county town to find work, but renting a carriage is not worth it. Even if they go there for a month, the cost of riding in a carriage is not as much as renting it."

Qiao Jianer shook her head: "Grandma, it's not for this. I rented the carriage for another purpose."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she knew that this was a way to make money, so she lowered her voice and said, "Jian'er, what's your idea?"

Qiao Jianer winked at her grandmother and said, "It's an idea to make money. We need to buy some things these days, including renting a carriage. They'll go down to the river to work, and we'll take care of these things at home."

Old Mrs. Qiao thought about it. She had already found mushrooms in the mountains, spent all her physical effort, and gambled. What other ways could she make money?

But Jianer always gives people surprises.

This family is going to have to spend a lot of money again.

Old Mrs. Qiao felt hopeful: "Okay, whatever you want to do, just do it, grandma will support you."

Qiao Lian'er had already made a list in his mind. He needed an iron stove, an iron cooking pot, an iron wok, charcoal fire, and the paperwork for setting up a stall.

You must first obtain the documents for setting up a stall before you can apply to purchase iron stoves and other iron products, because iron products are strictly controlled. Even these cooking utensils, the court is afraid that the people will melt them down to practice weapons.

The next day, he asked Old Mrs. Qiao to buy charcoal at home. Qiao Jianer took his household registration certificate and took a carriage to Yongguan County.

She was a little distressed on the way because Datian Village was under the jurisdiction of Ning County, and she was going to Yongguan County to set up a stall, which might not be so smooth.

Unfortunately, Datian Village is located in the southeastern part of Ning County, too far away from the jurisdiction of the county, making it difficult to find work and do business there, while Yongguan County is much closer.

She took a walk around Yongguan County and found several markets selling snacks, located in the east, west, south and north of the city, including a snack street near the center. These were areas designated by the government. Apart from these areas, stalls could not be set up casually, otherwise they would be evicted, all items on the stalls would be confiscated, and fines would be imposed.

Qiao Jianer decided to open a stall in the market behind the central street. The stall fee here is twice as expensive, but there are many people, so it is easy to make a profit.

Qiao Jianer found the city supervisor, presented his household registration, and explained his purpose.

The chief official of the Daze State Market Supervisor was called the City Magistrate. The City Magistrate was a fat man with two wisps of mustache.

He took the household registration and looked at it, then raised his hand and raised his mustache.

"You are from Datian Village, Ning County, and you want to set up a stall here."

"Yes, because Yongguan County is closer to us."

"There are already several people in Datian Village who want to set up stalls here, but this is not your county after all, so it's difficult to do so in principle."

Qiao Jianer knew that what was difficult to do in principle meant that you could ignore principles as long as you paid money.

She had already inquired about the price of setting up a stall here, which was seven taels of silver a month, so she readily stuffed ten taels into the hands of the mayor.

The mayor held the heavy silver ingot, his face full of embarrassment turned into a smile, and he quickly wrote the document for her.

"It's due in a month and you can go to stall number eight to set up your stall."

Qiao Jianer had already walked through the snack street just now. The empty seats were marked, and number 8 was the best empty seat. It seemed that money really could make the world go round.

With the documents for setting up a stall, it was much easier to buy iron stoves and iron pots, but the quantity was strictly controlled. Qiao Jianer bought a large wok and two cooking pots as much as possible, which was almost enough.

As for the iron stove, I bought one with three holes, which is connected together as a whole and is also convenient for carrying.

Then Jianer took a carriage home. When the coachman saw that she had bought so many things, he drove the carriage to her doorstep.

It was already afternoon at this time. Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Man Qiao went to a charcoal-making and selling house in the village and bought 100 kilograms of charcoal. Qiao Jianer specifically asked them to buy fruit wood charcoal. It was a bit expensive, but it produced less smoke, higher heat, longer burning time, and had the fragrance of fruit wood, making it very suitable for setting up stalls on the street.

She saw some stall owners using inferior charcoal that produced a lot of smoke. The smoke was so smoky that it made people cry and their noses run, and it also affected the taste of the food. As a result, the number of customers decreased a lot.

To do business well, you must consider every step carefully and follow the principle that customers are God. Only by making them comfortable will their wallets be comfortable.

"Jian'er, have you eaten? I left some food for you at noon, and it's heating up in the pot." said Old Mrs. Qiao.

"I've already eaten. I'm going to the town to rent a carriage."

"If I want to rent it today, do I have to sell it tomorrow?"

"No, rent it first and get practice driving a carriage," said Qiao Jianer.

In the world she came from, when she went to the prairie to play, she also learned to drive a horse-drawn carriage, so it was not completely new.

However, in order to drive the carriage smoothly to the county town, you still need to develop some skills.

Renting a horse carriage was easy. The carriage was equipped with a Ferghana horse. The rental fee was five taels of silver a month, and it could carry two thousand kilograms.

Qiao Jian'er drove the carriage back slowly. Although she rode cautiously, she was bold and steady. Horses are the most sensitive and can sense the character and temperament of the driver, so they slowed down and rode steadily. They would also avoid obstacles in advance. If they encountered a carriage coming from the opposite direction, they would also pull to the side properly to prevent Qiao Jian'er from panicking.

Before Qiao Jian'er could swing the whip in her hand, the blood horse did what she wanted to do.

She was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the horse carefully.
