44 Chapter 44: Helping to Promote

“By the way, can the small-sized sandals be cheaper?” Aunt Li said as she thought of something.

Qin Xiaoyao forced a smile.

“Er… Our family only gets a bit of hard-earned money. The sandals are only sold for three copper coins because the customers are from the same village. If we send them to town, they are usually sold for four or five copper coins a pair.”

“These small-sized straw sandals might require less straw to make, but it takes a bit more skill to weave them. The effort taken is not less than the bigger-sized sandals.”

“Besides, there are very few people who buy small-sized straw sandals, so we don’t make many of them…”

“Alright, alright. Three copper coins it is then. Help me choose three pairs of smaller ones.” Aunt Li interrupted Qin Xiaoyao.

She did so mainly because she felt that Qin Xiaoyao was right. The price of three copper coins per pair was indeed very cheap.

“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao replied enthusiastically.

Soon, she had helped Aunt Li pick out the straw sandals.

“If your size isn’t accurate…” Aunt Li asked before she paid for the straw sandals.

“You can take it back and try it on. If it doesn’t fit, you can bring it back to exchange.” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly.

Only then was Aunt Li satisfied, and she began to take out the money.

After counting eighteen copper coins, she handed them to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao took the money, thought for a while, and shoved a copper coin back into Aunt Li’s hand.

“Haha! Thank you for bringing me the message, Aunt Li. Our family is poor. This is just a token of our appreciation,” she said.

The slight displeasure that was beginning to show on Aunt Li’s face disappeared immediately.

“It’s just a message, something that I can do on my way. Who wants your money?” She pushed it back.

However, Qin Xiaoyao insisted on giving it to her.

“It’s also to thank you for patronizing our business, Aunt Li. Just accept it. It’s not like I’ll give it to you every time.” She said with a smile.

Only then did Aunt Li accept it.

“Alright. Then I’ll go back and help your family promote them. Your family’s straw sandals are indeed good.” She said, beaming happily.

Butcher Qin gave her two copper coins, and this girl gave her another copper coin. It was equivalent to giving her a pair of straw sandals for free.

Haha! Three copper coins for a pair. She had gotten a good deal when she could buy straw sandals of this quality.

“Thank you very much, Aunt Li.” Qin Xiaoyao thanked her with a wide grin.

With that, she walked Aunt Li out of the courtyard.

After that, they said goodbye to each other warmly before Qin Xiaoyao returned.

However, the moment she entered the kitchen, she saw four pairs of eyes staring straight at her.

This was especially evident with Big Girl Li, who couldn’t hide the admiration in her eyes.

They had overheard Qin Xiaoyao selling straw sandals to Aunt Li just now.

The way she spoke and the way she treated her customers were in no way inferior to those experienced workers in town.

In such a short time, not only did she sell six pairs of straw sandals, but she also won Aunt Li’s favor and made her take the initiative to help promote her business. It was beautifully done!

After all, Aunt Li was the wife of the village chief of Brook Falls Village.

If she were willing to help spread the news, the entire village would soon know that the Song family was selling straw sandals.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

She ignored Big Girl Li and went forward to split the money with Madam Liu and Song Yun.

“I took two pairs of the straw sandals that Mother made, and the rest belong to Yun’er. This is your money.”

As she spoke, she gave Madam Liu four copper coins and Song Yun eight copper coins.

The two of them didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the money, feeling very happy in their hearts.

When Big Girl Li saw this, she felt envious again.

How come she didn’t know how to weave straw sandals?

“Alright, Big Girl. Start the fire.” Qin Xiaoyao said as she looked at Big Girl Li.

Following that, she went to the stove.

“Okay.” Big Girl Li responded in a listless way, and then started to help out.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up in a smile again.

“Oh yes. I have good news,” she said.

Everyone turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Aunt Li just brought a message. She said that Fortune Mansion wants me to send two hundred catties of Chinese yam to them tomorrow.”

Everyone was shocked.

“200… 200 catties?” Big Girl Li couldn’t help shouting out. She even gulped down her saliva halfway.

At five copper coins per catty, if it were two hundred catties, then… then that would be one tael of silver!

Madam Liu’s mouth was also wide open as she stared at her daughter-in-law.

If they were asking for the Chinese yam so soon again, did this mean that Fortune Mansion was doing brisk sales with the Chinese yam?

Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.

“I guess the dishes made with Chinese yam have already opened up a market in Fortune Mansion.”

“After this, we won’t have to worry about selling our Chinese yam.” As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she looked at the Chinese yams piled in the corner.

Right now, this was the most valuable thing in their family.

Big Girl Li also looked in the direction Qin Xiaoyao was looking, her eyes full of envy.

“There must be more Chinese yam in the mountains,” she muttered.

She also wanted to dig up Chinese yams to sell!

Qin Xiaoyao’s hearing was sharp, so naturally, she heard Big Girl Li’s mumbling.

“There are other good things in the mountains besides Chinese yam.”

“We’ll go into the mountains in the afternoon and have a good search. When we find something good, we’ll bring it back. We’ll be going to town tomorrow, so we can send all of them to Fortune Mansion in one shot.”

Big Girl Li nodded quickly.

Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and said again, “Also, Big Girl, if your family has extra vegetables to sell, you can bring them too. We’ll send them to Fortune Mansion tomorrow.”

“When they are sold, you will get whatever they are sold for. I won’t take a cut from you.” Since they were sisters, she would take it as helping Big Girl Li.

Big Girl Li’s face lit up.

“Great! Then I’ll go back and ask my mother later!” she hurriedly said.

Their family was different from the Song family. They had land, and there were enough vegetables for their own consumption.

In fact, they had a lot more than enough for their own consumption.

It was just that the vegetables were cheap, and they wouldn’t sell well in town. They had to pay to enter town, so no one would go to town just to sell vegetables.

However, if Fortune Mansion could buy them all at the market price, it would still be worth the trip.

At the very least, she could guarantee that all the vegetables she prepared would be sold off.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.

“In addition, my father said that the straw sandals have been sold out. Let’s send some more.” Qin Xiaoyao then looked at Madam Liu and Song Yun after saying this.

“Mother, Yun’er, I’ll have to trouble you two.”

The two of them looked excited.

“We’ll continue weaving in the afternoon!” Madam Liu said quickly.

Song Yun also nodded.

“Mother and I will try to make more straw sandals so that tomorrow, Sister-in-law can bring all of them along.”

Weaving straw sandals really earned money quickly. She had already earned fourteen copper coins in two days just by sitting at home.

This was just from the straw sandals she had sold in the past two days. If she sold the remaining straw sandals for money, she could earn even more.

In the past, she wouldn’t even dare to think about such a thing.

“Let’s see how much you can produce. If there’s a lot, I’ll try to sell some in the grocery stores. If there are not many, I’ll give them all to my father and let him help me sell them. ”

It was not difficult to sell them at the price of three copper coins per pair.

The main thing was that the design of the straw sandals made by their family was nicer than that of ordinary straw sandals.

The mother and daughter nodded, their hearts full of energy.

Soon, the rice was ready.

Qin Xiaoyao was also done cooking the dishes.

After Song Yun delivered the food to Song Que, everyone started eating.

The dishes for lunch today were the same as last night’s, and Big Girl Li ate until she was satisfied.

When she thought of the Chinese yam she ate, which cost five copper coins per catty, she felt that stir-fried Chinese yam tasted even better.
