Chapter 51 Idea
Wow! A thirteen-year-old civil official and a fourteen-year-old military official—what does that even mean? They're practically child prodigies! No wonder Jiang Chun became the Grand Marshal of the Borderlands before he was even thirty in his previous life!
Zisu felt a mixture of curiosity and admiration for Jiang Chun.
What a remarkable young hero! What's rare is that he has excellent character and is a truly admirable man. In his past life, he was the dream lover of many young ladies, and even his rival, Xiao Fan, had to secretly admire him.
Zisu never imagined that in this life she would have such a close relationship with the young hero's family. But then again, it didn't seem so surprising.
Indeed, in this life, she has avoided several misfortunes, and even her uncle has benefited from her good fortune, leading a completely different life from his previous one. Therefore, it's only natural that she would encounter good fortune.
Another 290 taels of silver came in, and Zisu was overjoyed. She deposited it all into Maoyuan Money Shop. She worried that if bandits raided Wuliping, the loss would be enormous.
In all things, it's better to be safe than sorry!
With her uncle's family around, especially with Shangguan Zhihua, that ticking time bomb, she couldn't feel at ease. Every single member of that family was a menace. The bandits wouldn't raid Wuliping without reason; what they feared was this family instigating or deliberately spreading rumors about how wealthy Xiaoshitan in Wuliping was.
Zisu even suspected that her father's death in battle might be related to her uncle. Otherwise, how could her father, with his exceptional martial arts skills, undefeated record, and so many elite troops under his command, have been forced off a cliff by the enemy and left without a trace?
But I digress. Let's get back to the main point.
As they left the money exchange, Xiangli couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why didn't you ask Good Days Restaurant for more money? It's such a waste to sell the secret recipe so cheaply."
Zisu: "Fragrant pears, 290 taels of silver, that's not a small amount. In Wuliping, a family of five only spends about ten taels of silver a year. The money is enough. We're destitute now, so having more friends means having more options. Who knows when we'll need their help? Setting the price of the secret recipe a little lower is a favor to Manager Jiang, so he'll be more willing to ask if we need anything in the future."
"Oh, I see. I misunderstood." Xiangli suddenly realized and scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.
Passing by a bookstore, Zisu carefully selected a farming book, a book on making pastries, and five decent calligraphy brushes. The farming book cost only two taels of silver, while the pastry book cost five taels, and each calligraphy brush also cost two taels. Nevertheless, Zisu bought them without hesitation.
Xiangli stared in disbelief, secretly marveling at the sight.
Miss, aren't you being a bit too generous? Good heavens, you've spent seventeen taels of silver in one go.
Before leaving, Zisu sold an idea to the bookstore owner and earned one hundred taels of silver. In one go, she earned back the money she had spent on books and pens.
Xiangli was stunned again. After leaving the bookstore, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you only said a few words and you earned a hundred taels of silver. Isn't it too easy to make money like this?"
Zisu rolled her eyes at her: "Look at you making such a fuss. Do you think that idea was easy to come up with? If you ask me, we should have sold it for less!"
