138 Waiting for Them

Little Ah Yu ran home. The little lamb was at the village entrance from afar. It caught her and carried her back to the Wang family.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Little Ah Yu saw Liu Shi and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mother, Mother, we’re back!”

When Liu Shi saw Little Ah Yu, her eyes rippled with smiles.

“Run slower, don’t fall!” Although she said that, her hands still moved forward and hugged Little Ah Yu.

“Mother, our things are all sold out.”

They had set off in the morning and returned in the afternoon. The sun had yet to set, far exceeding the adults’ expectations.

They were still thinking about the children. If they were not able to sell anything after half a day. They would definitely want to stay longer and only go home when it’s dark.

The reason why they asked Wang Dalang to follow them was because they were afraid that these children would be stubborn and refuse to return.

Wang Dalang was the eldest brother after all. He had to bear the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings and not let them be willful.

“Really? They’re all sold out?” Liu Shi definitely did not believe it. The children had brought a lot of things. Today was not a market day. There would not be so many villagers going, but they could actually sell all the things?

This was really unbelievable.

Wang Wulang and the others knew that their little sister had returned and hurriedly ran back.

They heard Little Ah Yu’s words at the entrance of the courtyard.

“You probably ate it yourself! Ha, we won’t blame you!” Wang Wulang felt that even if he went, if he was hungry on the way, he wouldn’t be able to help but eat it. This was understandable, and there was nothing to say.

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang nodded.

It was impossible to hold back from eating such sweet candied haws and delicious wild fruits.

“No, we didn’t eat at all. Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, you’re all bad!” Little Ah Yu placed her hands on her waist and said angrily.

Her brothers did not trust them at all!

She didn’t want to talk to them anymore.

Little Ah Yu ignored them and twisted her body, her back facing them. No matter how Wang Wulang coaxed her, it was useless.

At this moment, the adults at home also returned one after another.

Old Madam Wang walked at the front. Now that everyone was in high spirits, Old man Wang was also valiant and spirited as he walked beside Old Madam Wang.

He carried a hoe at his waist and hummed an unknown tune, completely ignoring the obvious disdain in Old Madam Wang’s eyes.

“Grandma! Grandpa!” Little Ah Yu heard the commotion and saw Old Madam Wang. She pounced on her happily.

“Aiya, let Grandma see who’s back. So it’s our Little Fairy. Is Little Fairy tired from flying?” Old Madam Wang smiled and teased Little Ah Yu.

As Little Ah Yu said that she was not tired, she complained about Wang Wulang and the others. “Big brothers and the others said that we finished the food ourselves, but we really sold it. We sold it for a lot of money!”

Without a word, Old Madam Wang criticized Wang Wulang and the others.

She thought to herself that the children probably did not sell the goods for much money. Previously, they had discussed and settled the price at three copper coins a stick at home.

This price was not considered affordable, but the cost was there. This was also a joint business. To ensure that each party had enough benefits, the price had to be increased.

Three copper coins was enough to buy three ordinary sticks of candied haws. They probably wouldn’t be able to sell much.

Unexpectedly, the children really sold everything.

But even if it was sold out, it would only be about 100 copper coins.

Wang Dalang placed the money on the table in front of his family. The copper coins were poured out first, then the one tael of silver, followed by the remaining ten ingots of silver.

Old Madam Wang could still maintain her composure, but the other Wang family members’ eyes widened.

What was this?!

“What did you sell? Did you pick up gold and sell it?!”

“How can there be so much money!”

“Where did you get it from?!”

There were doubts, shock, and curiosity. All eyes were focused on the money on the table.

Wang Dalang did not dare to hide anything and told everyone what had happened in detail. After hearing this, everyone in the Wang family’s mouths fell open for a long time.

What was going on? Had a sucker suddenly appeared?

Moreover, he was the kind of sucker who liked to give away money!

Even Old Madam Wang could not help but twitch her eyebrows. Where did this silly and rich second generation kid come from?

To be able to make such a move in their small town, there were definitely not many people who were so generous, let alone a youth about the same age as Wang Dalang.

“Oh my god, so much money! You’ve earned more than ten taels of silver on this trip. It’s comparable to our family’s annual income!” Wang Chuanyuan couldn’t help but mutter, “When Eldest Brother went to town to work, he couldn’t even earn 100 copper coins even if he worked hard for a day, right?”

Wang Chuanfu: “…” Although that made sense, it would hurt me if you said it at this time.

The adults of the Wang family did not expect that even though they tried their best to earn money, they could not compare to the money from the wild fruits the children had dug in the mountains.

This blow was not light.

Fortunately, Old Madam Wang was still relatively calm. She told the children that such things could only be chanced upon by luck. The next time they went, they would definitely not be so lucky.

Therefore, they had to focus on quality. Not only could they not reduce the price, but they also had to increase their standards and make the customers feel that the product was worth the price.

The price must match the quality. In the beginning, they have to provide good service to make the customers feel that they were valued.

Old Madam Wang even ordered the Wang Family not to tell anyone about this matter. The Wang Family also knew the principle of not revealing their wealth, so everyone expressed that they would not spout nonsense.

However, the first time they succeeded in doing business, it also gave them great confidence. Therefore, in the next two days, they continued to study the candied haws. This time, they were all assisting Liu Shi, wanting to seriously learn how to make it.

Liu Shi naturally was not selfish with her teachings. She taught them a few times what they did not understand. Wang Dalang was the first to grasp the technique. The intelligent Wang Wulang learned a little slower, but the taste of the candied hawthorns he made was closer to Liu Shi’s.

Wang Wulang was especially proud. “I’ll never be afraid of losing my job. I can still sell candied haws in the future!”

Little Ah Yu added, “Fifth Brother, didn’t you want to be a general in the past?”

“…”

“Later, Grandma asked you to take the Imperial Examination, and you said that you wouldn’t come back if you didn’t become a scholar!”

“…”

“You’ll never be a general in your life!”

“…”

“In any case, you definitely won’t be able to be a candied haws seller. Grandma definitely won’t agree!”

“…” Wang Wulang looked helpless. He reached out to cover Little Ah Yu’s mouth. “Alright, alright, I understand. You don’t have to say anything else.”

Little Ah Yu blinked.

She still had a lot to say!

Two days later, the children set off again with the candied haws. This time, many people were waiting for them, especially those who had tasted the candied haws last time. Now, they all wanted to buy another one.

The taste was secondary. The main thing was that the sugar coating on it was very thick. After peeling it off, it could even become the family’s sugar reserve!

The servant, who had been guarding the street for two days, was about to cry when he realized that it was the Wang family.

“Aiya, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time!” The servant said excitedly. “Our Young Master is waiting for you!”
