Chapter 79 -079: The Space is too Cute
Surprisingly, hearing about this, Bai Yihong became somewhat excited.
Of course, this excitement was not a bad thing, it stemmed from a farmer’s longing for land.
“The idea of buying a piece of land, I wouldn’t have dared to think about it in the past,” Bai Yihong said with a hint of emotion.
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Dad, as long as our family pulls together, our lives will improve, not to mention buying land, we could afford to buy houses and manors in the future.”
If Bai Ruozhu had said such a thing in the past, Bai Yihong certainly would have dismissed it as a child’s idle talk.
While he still found it hard to envision, he now felt a glimmer of hope that what his daughter envisioned might just come true someday.
“We owe our current wealth to your efforts, Ruozhu, so the property deed should bear your name.
If your Uncle finds out, tell him Chang Sheng had instructed you to do so, we must avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings,” Bai Yihong calmed himself and thinking of Bai Yibo’s drunken rants he’d heard about from Zhou Dehai, he couldn’t prevent his worries from resurfacing.
There is truth in wine; his oldest brother surely harbours such thoughts.
If it had just been him, he would be resigned to working like a horse for his parents his whole life.
But the money was earned by his daughter, who now also had to shoulder most of the family’s expenses.
How could he ask his daughter to hand over her hard-earned money to his greedy elder brother?
Lin Ping’er was quite satisfied with her husband’s words today.
She felt that he was finally turning a wise eye.
“Your father is right, let’s do as he suggests,” she said.
Bai Ruozhu hesitated, “There’s more than just me in the family.
Dad and Mom can’t be too biased.
We’ve got my elder and younger brothers, and in the future, we’ll have their wives.
We need to avoid causing any hard feelings.”
At this point, Bai Zehao, who had been quiet all the time, quickly said: “That won’t be an issue.
If my future wife is petty about this, I’ll make sure to guide her properly.
I owe this house to you, it’s important to remember and appreciate those who have helped us.”
With everyone being so understanding, Bai Ruozhu, at a loss for words, thought for a moment and said, “How about this?
We’ll buy the land under my name for now.
In the future, we can implement a kind of ‘personal contracting system’.”
“A personal contracting system?
What’s that?” Bai Yihong was curious about this new concept, intuitively recognizing its relevance to farming.
Bai Ruozhu laughingly explained, “For example, if we buy land under my name this time, it would be considered as me contracting it.
If we buy more land in the future, we can put it under Dad or Mom’s name, or even my brothers’ names if they start a shop or business.
Everyone will be responsible for managing their property and comparing whose business yields higher profits.”
“Contracting system?
Little Sister, your mind can conjure all kinds of unexpected ideas.
This sounds very interesting,” Bai Zehao couldn’t help praising her.
Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er were thinking about their daughter’s future plans for buying more land and starting a business.
They looked at each other, feeling gratified by their daughter’s strong ambition.
Nevertheless, this was a good thing because if their family could be prosperous, her remarriage would be smoother.
Bai Ruozhu was unaware that her parents lacked ambition.
She had clearly talked about becoming fabulously wealthy, but they only thought about achieving a moderate standard of living.
The difference in their perceptions was enough to make her sigh with frustration.
She had the golden finger, couldn’t they have a little more faith in her?
Late at night, when all was quiet, Bai Ruozhu sneaked into her space.
She prepared a roasted fish for her meal, then started pondering how to make more money, knowing that she didn’t have enough.
Would selling noodle soup work?
No, this is not the right time.
She was scared of stirring up trouble, especially with that old man from the welcoming guests come.
Sell fish?
The fresh fish could fetch some silver, but how would she explain where the fish came from?
Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu’s eyes lit up.
She could make the fish into dried fish!
The dried fish could be explained as being bought from passing traders, so there wouldn’t be any problem.
Having decided, she quickly set to work.
With a wave, a few fishes flew ashore.
She began to clean them but not long after, she started to break a sweat.
It was going to take so much effort to process dozens of fish!
Not to mention cleaning and salting them would come next.
She would tire herself to death if she had to do this all by herself!
“Couldn’t the fish be killed and cleaned directly, and then evenly spread with salt?
It’s really hard for a pregnant woman to do this,” Bai Ruozhu complained as she kept busy.
The moment her words fell, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes.
She blinked, and the next thing she knew, the fish were already gutted, cleaned, and evenly covered in salt!
Wow, is this special consideration for pregnant women?
Bai Ruozhu’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn’t help shouting into the sky of her space, “You are so adorable, space!
Let’s process a few dozen more.”
Then, fish started to rain down like torrential rain.
Bai Ruozhu got a fright and instinctively covered her stomach while folding her neck.
Fortunately, the fish seemed to have eyes and didn’t hit her at all.
Bai Ruozhu patted her chest, saying, “Space, you’re so playful!”
After the dozens of fish were all processed, Bai Ruozhu’s eyes sparkled looking at them.
She thought for a while and asked, “Can they be turned directly into dried fish?”
But there was no change in the space this time.
It probably found her too greedy.
Bai Ruozhu scratched her nose awkwardly, chuckled a few times, left her space, and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
Even though she didn’t have to do any of the work later, she was very tired from the initial effort.
In the days that followed, whenever Bai Ruozhu saw no one around, she would sneak into her space to check on the fish.
After a day, the fish had dried much faster than they would have outside.
Bai Ruozhu was so delighted that her eyes squinted into crescents.
She was thrilled.
Now, she could go and earn a lot of silver.
After thinking it over a few times, she decided not to let her family know about it.
It would be too easy for them to realize something was amiss.
Just in time, Fang Guizhi came looking for her.
Seeing Fang Guizhi panting profusely with exertion, Bai Ruozhu quickly had an idea.
“Guizhi, I’ve obtained some goods privately and was thinking of doing a small business.
How about we team up?” Bai Ruozhu asked, holding Fang Guizhi’s hand with a beaming smile.
Having earned her first personal money because of Bai Ruozhu, Fang Guizhi’s eyes sparkled at the mention of ‘partnering up’. freēnovelkiss.com
She immediately nodded and said, “Yes, yes, what are we going to sell?”
Bai Ruozhu took out twenty pieces of dried fish from under the bed.
The fish from her space were large and hence made generous-sized dried fish.
Moreover, the quality was exceptional.
Interested, Fang Guizhi carefully touched the dried fish and asked, “Is this fish?
How did it become like this?”
“These are dried fish, made from larger fish.
The taste is different from the fish we eat normally.
I’m sure someone in the restaurant would want them.
You can take them to a few restaurants and whoever offers the highest price, you sell to them,” Bai Ruozhu instructed.
“How much can we roughly sell them for?
Surely not less than what you paid for,” asked Fang Guizhi after considering it for a while.
Bai Ruozhu estimated the price of fresh fish.
Making dried fish was laborious and required a crafty touch, and the ones she had, had a premium quality.
“At least four pieces for a tael of silver.
But remember, this has to be our secret and make sure no one else finds out,” Bai Ruozhu replied after giving it some thought.
