161 Setting a Small Target

It wasn’t much more than what she had earned by hunting with Li Xiao during the construction period.

The price of the cold cakes was too low.

She wanted to earn a large sum of money by selling cold cake, so she still had to find a way to increase the order volume.

“How much money can we make if we sell them all?” Liu Shi was not good at mathematics, but she knew that her daughter was very good at it, so she asked her.

“Around 1,500 wen.” Lin Xiaoyue said indifferently.

Liu Shi’s eyes widened.

“So much?”

That was 1.5 tael of silver, and she could earn so much in a day. How much would it be in a month?

In any case, it was no less than 30 taels!

Her daughter was earning money way too quickly!

“How is it too much? I still want to save money to buy some land so that I can plant chilies, potatoes, and sweet potatoes next year. A good field is worth 8 to 9 taels of silver per mu, so 20 mu of land is worth more than 160 taels of silver.”

“Ah, it’ll be good to build a manor if we have hundreds of mu of land,” Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with yearning.

How good would it be to be a landlady!

If she hired people to work in the field, all the harvest would be theirs.

“What are you thinking? We only have Xiao’er who is a strong laborer in our family. Do we have enough manpower to work in such a big field?” Liu Shi said with a smile.

However, she did not disagree with her daughter’s idea of buying land.

After all, a farmer’s family still had to rely on farming.

For example, in the Wang family, there were two strong laborers who could earn money, but they were still looked down upon by others.

It was because they didn’t have much land, which was equivalent to not having any assets.

Therefore, if they were rich, they could buy some land. It didn’t matter if it was not a lot.

“Li Xiao?” Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “It would be a waste of his talent to let him stay in the farm.”

Lin Xiaoyue ignored her mother’s surprised look and continued, “after we buy the land, we will hire the farmers to help us and just collect the harvest.”

Liu Shi was shocked.

“How much money will we have left?”

Hiring people to farm would cost money. It wasn’t worth it.

“We’ll earn whatever’s left. Moreover, Qing’er and Xiaozhi are going to school. When they pass the elementary scholar examination, we will be exempted from the grain tax for 20 mu of land. If one of them becomes a high scholar, we will be exempted from tax of 200 mu of land.”

Liu Shi was stunned.

Then, she was slightly convinced.

Twenty mu of grain tax…

In the past, the Lin family only had 20 mu of land, and they had to pay 400 catties of grain tax every year, which was not a small sum.

If it was 200 mu, that would be 4,000 catty worth of grain! How much would that cost!

Liu Shi now felt that her daughter’s idea of buying land was not bad.

“Let’s set a small target of 20 mu first.” Lin Xiaoyue sighed.

In addition, she also wanted to open a snack shop in town. Not only would it sell cold cakes, but also noodles, fried potatoes, and so on.

Fast food delivery could yield high profits.

There was a strange look on Liu Sh’s face.

That was a small target?

Her daughter was really amazing.

Lin Xiaoyue was busy scooping the cold cakes into the wooden bucket.

Then, she placed the wooden bucket on a shelf not far away.

After cooking four pots in a row, she finally made twenty buckets of cold cakes.

Together with Liu Shi, they sent four of them to the pond. Lin Xiaoyue washed the wooden buckets and the ladle and put them away before she was finally free.

Thinking that she had to send the cold cakes to Ruyi Restaurant before 7 pm, Lin Xiaoyue told Liu Shi to gather the whole family to pay respects to her father while there was still some time.

So, the whole Liu family brought incense, paper money, and offerings to the cemetery outside the village.
