The children looked on with longing eyes, and the adults with them couldn’t bear to just pull them away.
After asking what was being sold here and how much it cost, they didn’t hesitate and bought a piece.
When one person buys, others co forward to inquire.
Originally, there were only five pieces of date cake left, and they sold out quickly.
Those who ca later wanting to buy them were a bit disappointed when they couldn’t.
How could Jiang Ran miss this opportunity?
He imdiately told them that he would be selling date cakes at the sa ti tomorrow, and he would prepare more so that everyone could get so.
Whether or not these people wanted to buy again tomorrow, Jiang Ran’s words truly lifted their spirits, and everyone left with smiles on their faces.
After packing up their things and putting Pei Jing in the cart, the group headed back.
It was only early spring, and the sky still darkened a bit early.
By the ti they got ho, it was already dark.
Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan were already ho and had almost finished preparing dinner.
At the sound of movent at the door, the two imdiately ca out to greet them.
Seeing Jiang Ran and the others return safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The spring plowing should be almost done by tomorrow, so I’ll be able to help you all then. You won’t have to work so hard anymore. Hurry up and wash up, and then we can eat."
Wang Cuilan kept chattering, her hands not stopping for a mont, not allowing them to help unload the things from the cart, only urging them to wash up quickly.
Jiang Ran and the others didn’t stand on ceremony, promised to do so, and quickly went to freshen up.
Wang Cuilan’s cooking wasn’t as good as Jiang Ran’s, but she had been cooking for so many years, and the dishes were full of flavor.
The family didn’t talk much and just sat together to eat.
After the al, Wang Cuilan tidied up the dishes all by herself.
It wasn’t until she finished her chores that Jiang Ran took out the money box.
"This is what we earned today."
The money earned each day was kept with Jiang Ran, but he always reported the daily earnings to the others.
Seeing the money in the box increase day by day, Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan also smiled.
Even if Jiang Ran didn’t give them the money, they didn’t mind.
The fact that Jiang Ran could do sothing, and had a much better temper than before, was the most delightful thing for them.
The earnings for the day were more than before because they sold date cakes in the afternoon.
Each piece of date cake sold for fifty cents, and they made forty pieces, which amounted to twenty yuan.
The date cakes alone matched the earnings from the morning and noon.
Of course, the more money, the better. No one would complain about earning less in the morning and noon. Everyone just hoped that business could be this good every day.
After counting the money, they went to the kitchen to prepare the things needed for the next morning, and then they rested.
Since that day, the Pei family’s life had really gotten on track.
Jiang Ran took Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan to the county town every morning.
To make things easier and earn more money, after selling breakfast, they didn’t go ho but started preparing lunch on the spot.
This saved the ti spent on the road, giving Jiang Ran more ti to prepare, allowing him to add more dishes and finally include the noodles he had been planning.
With the spring planting finished, the fieldwork was left to Pei Baoshan alone, while Wang Cuilan took Pei Jing to kindergarten every morning, then returned ho to clean, do laundry, cook, and feed the poultry and livestock.
