Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 853: Chapter 853: The Popular Tricycle in the Capital City_1

After breakfast, Shen Bai arrived with several people.

Not long after, He Zhanggui also arrived with his men.

They were here to learn how to build kang bed-stoves.

The task was taught by Qiao Changshun and Tong Sanlang, while Qiao Xiaomai went to find Miao Dali. With many hands to make light work, the guest house was repaired in just a few days.

Now it was time to work on the ice cellar.

The importance of ice goes without saying; it was indispensable.

At noon, the guard Xiaoyang arrived, bringing a letter from Yang Ye, which contained a list of ingredients for soup. Yang Ye hoped Xiaomai would follow the list and prepare each item one by one.

And also to deliver a portion to the people in the Imperial Palace.

If it had been before, she couldn’t have completed this list no matter what, but this time she was energetic and free from menstrual cramps, she got busy!

Eating stewed lamb in winter is great, and coincidentally, Yang Ye’s letter was sent from Yang City. Xiaomai asked the guard Xiaoyang to slaughter two sheep.

One for themselves to eat and another to make soup to send to Yang Ye and the people in the Palace.

Thus, all afternoon, the kitchen was filled with tempting aromas. Worrying that drinking too much Spiritual Spring water might heal Qiao Changshun’s leg automatically, she mixed half well water with it. However, even with half well water in the pot, it didn’t affect the taste of the mutton soup.

A bowl of hot mutton soup went down, followed by other dishes made with lamb. Shen Bai, He Zhanggui, and the others boarded the carriage and left.

With many people, the kang bed-stoves were built in just one day; they would try them out and if there were no problems, they could teach others everywhere.

The guard Xiaoyang stayed the night at the manor, arranged to stay over by the Warehouse. The items Xiaomai made for Yang Ye weren’t ready yet, so he had to wait overnight.

The next day, after breakfast, he drove the carriage to the post station with several clay jars, which were split into two deliveries: one for Yang Ye and the other for the Capital City.

Capital City.

Jiwei Residence made another big news: they introduced an innovative children’s tricycle that didn’t need to be pulled by livestock and could run back and forth on the ground simply with the legs of a child.

This was too novel.

Unheard of, unseen.

Even those Aristocratic Families with rich heritage spanning hundreds of years could only marvel at it.

On the first day the tricycle was introduced, the threshold of Jiwei Residence was almost trampled; some people even wanted to buy a hundred at a time.

Yu Ang, the Left Minister, personally oversaw the Jiwei Residence headquarters, chuckling as he soothed the people clamoring to purchase: holders of VIP cards had priority purchasing rights, and they got an eight percent discount. One for one hundred eighty-eight tael, only up to five thousand tael, first come first served.

Indeed, after this batch of tricycles arrived in the Capital City, Yu Ang personally inspected them, then ordered another three thousand to be manufactured.

After all, they only needed wood, which was readily available.

Which Aristocratic Family didn’t have a few children? Two thousand tricycles distributed in the Capital City wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.

Working day and night to gather five thousand tricycles, he then allowed Jiwei Residence to start selling them.

This time, hedid not advertise using Xiaomai’s name anymore.

Qiao Xiaomai’s brand was already big enough; any bigger would be too conspicuous.

With the Jiwei Residence brand, it was enough to attract attention. No sooner had a child been found to ride a tricycle around the entrance to Jiwei Residence, then people immediately came over wanting to buy, with one even asking for a hundred at once.

Clearly, these were destined for places beyond the city.

Five thousand tricycles would suffice for the Capital City, but if the demand from other areas was included, alas, he should have had ten thousand manufactured!
