Chapter 420 - 420 Unattainable Heights
420 Unattainable Heights
“Then we’ll go buy some paper and ink later as well.” Xue Sifu didn’t think it was a problem at all.
“Sure.” Xue Yan had no opinion.
Jiang Yue naturally had no objections.
After waiting for another hour, some people came, but they didn’t come to buy ice directly, but to eat ice. Xue Sifu told these people to come again tomorrow. Then, he removed the sunshade and sent it to Shen’s Medical Center. Everyone was ready to go home.
Doctor Shen had given him a lot of ingredients for the new sour plum juice. They were all prepared and wrapped in paper bags. Each paper bag could be used to cook a large pot.
Doctor Shen’s ice had not been finished yet, so he did not take away Doctor Shen’s small wooden box and quilt. Instead, he decided to get Doctor Shen a small wooden box and a quilt, so that it would be as convenient as possible to bring some ice for him to eat every day.
On the way back from the street of Shen’s Medical Center, they happened to pass by a shop that sold early rice. Then, Xue Sifu stopped the ox cart and went in to buy. He bought two ox carts of early rice.
This shop said that it would definitely deliver it to their doorstep before dark today.
Xue Sifu paid the money and walked out of the shop with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, continuing to go home.
Fortunately, there were several bookshops in this town, so he could buy paper and ink without taking a detour. After a short walk, he came across a bookshop, stopped the ox cart, and bought paper and ink.
He also bought a few ready-made blank books that were already thread-bound.
This kind of paper book could be used to record things. He didn’t need to bind the book, which made it more convenient as they needed it as soon as possible.
However, the paper for the written document could not be bound. It had to be piece by piece because he had to give the other party one piece.
There was only one official road out of the town, so he was not afraid of going in the wrong direction.
However, while Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu were still on their way back to the village, Xue Erfu, Xue Sanfu, and Xue Wufu finally returned.
Behind the ox cart, they were on were four other ox carts.
There were two ox carts of large wooden boxes, one ox cart of quilts, and the last ox cart contained several large pots and a wooden bucket with a lid. There were a few medium-sized wooden boxes, and the oil paper could not be seen. They were all stored in wooden boxes.
Xue Sanfu and the others were sitting in Tian’s ox cart that they had borrowed. On it was the big wooden box that they had bought for today’s ice delivery, as well as a few small wooden boxes that they had bought.
He bought a lot of sweet red beans and packed them in wooden boxes.
As for the small wooden boxes and wicker baskets that were used to store popsicles, they were brought back by the ox cart at home.
When the villagers saw the five ox carts enter the village, they all opened their mouths wide and shouted, “Must be nice!”
They already knew that quilts could keep ice from melting for a long time, and Xue’s family had bought so many of them. Business was perfect.
Other than being obedient, they didn’t know what else to say.
They all felt that Xue Dafu’s family was already at a height that they could not reach.
“Father! Mother! We’re back!” Xue Wufu shouted even before he reached his house.
Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and the others saw that they were free and were making rice noodles again. They were delighted by the noise. The cheerful tones meant that business must have gone overwhelmingly well. They stopped what they were doing and opened the door to the courtyard to take a look.
When they saw the things in the four carts, they didn’t feel any heartache. Instead, they were overjoyed!
They didn’t even ask, but the smiles on their faces were already plastered all over!
Xue Wufu jumped down from the ox cart and rushed to Liu Guixia and the others. He excitedly and softly told them how much money they had made today, as well as the ice that Shopkeeper Qiao and Butler Zhao had bought.
