Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Giving You a Car
Qiao Dami obediently mounted it and pedaled with her short legs, riding two circles around the room.
The three small wheels balanced her body well, and since the vehicle was low, she could easily place her little feet on the ground, preventing any falls from causing her harm.
Shopkeeper He watched Qiao Dami, eyes wide and mouth agape enough to fit a chicken egg.
In the past, Qiao Xiaomai had always brought food items. What was this thing now?
It didn’t need animals to pull it, only feet to pedal, and it moved forward on its own.
This was a Divine Weapon indeed!
...
Qiao Xiaomai caught the expression on Shopkeeper He’s face and smiled even more, “Shopkeeper, how do you like this toy?”
“Toy?” At those words, Shopkeeper He snapped back from his astonishment, incredulously staring at Qiao Xiaomai.
A moment ago, he had defined this thing as a Divine Weapon.
The next moment, Qiao Xiaomai called it a toy.
Such a huge gap!
“It’s just a little toy for children to ride and play with. You know my manor is built on a wasteland, with no villages in front and no stores behind—Dami is the only child there. So Sanlang and I thought about making him a small toy, look, this is it.”
As Qiao Xiaomai spoke, she nodded her chin towards Qiao Dami.
“The toy isn’t bad, right?”
In front, there was a delicate small basket, and at the back, between the two wheels, there was also a cute little basket, adding a touch of childish fun to the otherwise simple and stiff little cart.
Shopkeeper He “…”
To just casually come up with such a novel toy, impressive indeed!
Taking a deep breath, he restrained his amazement and sincerely praised, “It’s very good.”
“Then, do you think this could sell?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Of course it would sell. How much for one? I will buy one for my son right away.”
He had a little son, a year younger than Dami—just perfect for riding it!
“Hey, why buy it? I’ll give you one,” Qiao Xiaomai said with a chuckle.
“Give?” Shopkeeper He’s eyes widened. When had Qiao Xiaomai ever been so generous?
“Consider it a winter allowance, managing a big place like the Kee Taste Restaurant is no easy task.” The Qiao Family’s fortunes had really taken off thanks to the Kee Taste Restaurant.
Although the restaurant always made a profit, Shopkeeper He only earned a fixed salary as an employee.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper He glanced subconsciously at Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang nodded and then smilingly said, “Then, thank you, misses!”
Immediately after, he directly asked, “This little cart… it’s expensive, right?”
“Not expensive, twenty taels each,” Qiao Xiaomai declared.
Shopkeeper He “…”
That wasn’t expensive?
With his salary, he really couldn’t bear to spend so much on just a toy.
“That’s the price I’m selling them to Kee Taste Restaurant for. Whatever Kee Taste Restaurant resells them for, that’s none of my business,” said Qiao Xiaomai.
“Ah? Selling to Kee Taste Restaurant?”
As well as selling gourmet food, they could also occasionally sell little carts like these, right?
Who said restaurants could only sell food?
Selling a few other small items occasionally was perfectly fine.
“Um…” Shopkeeper He was at a loss for words. “I need to ask the owner about this.”
Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “Ask away. Bring the little cart over; this is a big deal. I see them going for fifty taels each in the Capital City, and even then, there will be buyers.”
“Sanlang and I made two thousand carts. At fifty taels each, that’s a hundred thousand taels. Even after deducting our own four thousand taels, there’s still a profit of sixty thousand taels!”
What do you think?
