173 She Bought More Wooden Buckets

He only hired someone because the business in the shop had improved.

“No rush, give me 12 more small wooden buckets,” Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said.

They had to deliver 12 buckets of cold cakes this afternoon to Ruyi Restaurant and these wooden buckets could only be retrieved tomorrow morning.

Hence, there were only 18 wooden buckets left in the house, which would not be enough.

“Wait, I’ll just take 20. It’ll save me the trouble of coming again next time,” Lin Xiaoyue said suddenly.

Besides Ruyi Restaurant, they were also going to have a stall in the west of the city, near Qingyun Academy, and the dock.

Also, if there were people who were willing to carry the cold cakes to the countryside, they would have more business.

She had a plan, but it would depend on whether Aunt Wang and the others were interested.

“Ah! You are so bold, I’ll get him to get the goods now!” Mr. Jin was very happy.

He quickly called for the shop assistant.

Aunt Wang wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Lin Xiaoyue looked at her.

She asked to check on the number of buckets and help bring them into the cart.

Aunt Wang didn’t say anything.

Lin Xiaoyue went to settle the bill. After they were all delivered to the cart, she rode the ox-cart away while Mr. Jin sent her off.

When they passed the city gate. Aunt Wang looked at the wooden buckets with a somewhat complicated expression.

Lin Xiaoyue would occasionally turn back and notice her expression.

Seeing that the expression on Aunt Wang’s face was becoming more and more tormented, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Do you have something to say?” She asked.

Aunt Wang couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Yue’er, aren’t these too many?” They had taken up almost half of the space in the cart.

They did make some money today, but after buying these things, there was probably not much left.

She wondered how Liu Shi would feel when she saw these.

“Too many? I’m afraid they won’t be enough,” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.

Aunt Wang’s expression froze.

She wanted to say something, but Lin Xiaoyue spoke again.

“We only prepared a limited number of cold cakes today, so we didn’t use so many bowls. We’ll double the amount of cold cakes tomorrow, so we’ll have to double the amount of bowls.”

“As for the wooden buckets, we only had 30 before we bought these.”

“I have to deliver 12 of them to Ruyi Restaurant this afternoon. The buckets can only be retrieved tomorrow morning.”

“Which means, if I don’t buy more, I’ll only have 18 available before tomorrow morning.”

“Of the 18, Ruyi Restaurant will take 8 tomorrow morning. We’ll also set the stall tomorrow, and we’ll only have 10 left at most.”

As Aunt Wang listened, her eyes gradually became clear.

“But buying 20 at once…it’s still a little too much,” she continued.

“Hehe,” Lin Xiaoyue chuckled.

“How is it too much? It’s only 10 more than today for the stall tomorrow. Besides, Ruyi Restaurant said they want 8, so I think we should prepare 2 more. The last 8 could be sold at home. I’d rather have more than less.”

Anyway, a small wooden bucket only cost 24 wen. She could earn more than that for a bucket of cold cakes.

Aunt Wang nodded.

She admired Lin Xiaoyue’s plan.

“I wonder how’s the business at home? How many of them did they sell?” Lin Xiaoyue remembered her instructions to the two children yesterday.

She hoped that the two children would work harder. Her mother was thin-skinned, so she didn’t expect too much from her.
