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

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Strong Local Flavor_1 Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Strong Local Flavor_1 Now with the bicycle, this problem no longer existed; even the farthest fields took only a quarter of an hour to reach.

The time spent was shorter, and it also saved a lot of energy.

Furthermore, the green grass cleared from the fields could be brought back with ease, without having to carry it back like before.

This scene completely matched what Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Tiehu had envisioned when they created the bicycle.

The bicycle indeed greatly facilitated the villagers’ lives.

A month of practice made everyone realize the benefits of the bicycle, and those who had lost interest couldn’t help but be moved again.

A tael or two of silver was indeed a lot, but if one scrimped and saved, it was still possible to gather such an amount…

As a result, many people came to the manor to inquire; the enthusiasm wasn’t as high as for a heated kang, but it was estimated that selling a few thousand more wouldn’t be a problem.

A few thousand units was a big order, too much for Qiao Changshun to handle alone, so Tong Tiehu had to take over.

Tong Tiehu didn’t decline either, he had ox carts and only needed to supervise a little every day, which was absolutely no problem.

With the bicycle issue settled, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang had nothing else to instruct.

After eating, Tong Tiehu stayed to help move the chili peppers from the fire pit onto the horse-drawn carts.

Perhaps because they were watered with Spiritual Spring water, these chilies growing on the fire pit matured faster than ordinary peppers; they were already fruiting, lush and green. At this pace, they would be ready to eat in another half a month.

Qiao Xiaomai placed great importance on this batch of peppers. Afraid of any accidents in the manor, she discussed with Fan Linong and finally decided to move all the peppers with soil to the horse-drawn carts and take them to the Capital City.

This was something that could earn a considerable amount of silver, and she would only feel at ease keeping it under her own watch.

These peppers took up five horse-drawn carts. By the time they finished, it was almost evening.

Tong Tiehu drove the ox cart back to the village, and Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang checked their luggage again to make sure nothing was forgotten, and then they went to sleep.

Dawn arrived quickly, and as the sun rose, it was time to depart.

Qiao Xiaomai made a simple breakfast in the kitchen. From Bailu Town to the Capital City, there were post stations along the way, one every half day’s journey, so they did not need to bring any dry food.

After breakfast, they moved all their luggage onto the horse carts, and Fan Linong personally entered the pigpen, ready to catch pigs.

Initially, Qiao Xiaomai planned to bring only two pigs, but Fan Linong thought it was too few. “You’re using five horse carts just for peppers, but when it comes to the pigs the Supreme Emperor likes, you’re only bringing two. Is that appropriate?”

A piglet weighs merely fifty to sixty pounds, bringing only two, who are you planning to stuff with them?

They can’t stuff anyone!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai blinked and remembered that they still had to visit Extreme Flavors House, and quickly said, “Then let’s take a dozen or so.”

They couldn’t just bring some for Yang Wenxiao; they had to bring some for Yu Ang as well.

So, the convoy added two more horse-drawn carts. In total, there were now ten carts, enough to form a small fleet.

Looking at the fleet before her, Qiao Xiaomai patted Tong Sanlang’s shoulder, “I bet there isn’t a more rustic fleet than ours.”

Five horse carts were loaded with peppers, two with pigs, and one with chickens. It couldn’t get more rustic.

Tong Sanlang nodded, “The rural charm is indeed strong.”

Qiao Xiaomai clicked her tongue twice, then turned to look at the people standing beside her, “Alright, Sanlang and I are ready to set off. When we come back, we’ll bring everyone some local Capital City specialties!”
