Chapter 177: More Shrewd
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She could already foresee that in the future, Xue Sifu would definitely be the most capable compared to Xue Yifu, Xue Erfu, Xue Sanfu, and Xue Wufu.
She wouldn’t comment on Xue Yan, she could see that this person just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life.
As for her third brother, Xue Sanfu, although she had never met him before, she had heard a little about him from her family. She knew that he was impulsive and straightforward. No matter how capable he was, there was a limit to such a personality.
She still couldn’t see Xue Sifu’s upper limit.
During breakfast, Xue Sifu told his family that he wanted to buy 45 kilograms of glutinous rice to make caramel candy. However, the salary he was given yesterday wasn’t enough, so he asked his family for some money.
Xue Dafu and the others trusted Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, so they naturally believed that the caramels could be made. They didn’t have any objections to Xue Sifu’s words.
He didn’t let Xue Sifu pay for it himself, he used the money from Liu Guixia to buy ingredients like glutinous rice, wheat, and rice flour.
Jiang Yue only wanted to make some caramel candy for Xue Xiaobao and the others to express her grat.i.tude. She guessed that it would only be this one time, so she did not buy the gauze. She planned to borrow it from her uncle’s family when she filtered it.
The oil mill of the eldest uncle’s family was now open for business, so they needed a lot of gauzes to filter the oil. She was sure that if she asked, they would happily give her one.
However, since Sifu was venturing into the caramel candy business, it would not be a bad thing to have some gauze at home. With this in mind, Jiang Yue said, “You should buy some more gauze. It needs to be filtered.”
“Of course, I will.” Xue Sifu naturally didn’t have any objections.
After breakfast, Xue Sifu asked Xue Erfu to accompany him to town to buy these things. He didn’t want to go by himself. He promised his family that he would take the ox cart, but the two of them still didn’t take the ox cart and left.
After Xue Sifu and Xue Erfu left, Jiang Yue whispered to Xue Yan, “Sifu seems smart.”
Unlike the other people in the family who had been with her for some time and slowly believed that she could make anything she said she could, he was the first to want to learn from her. She had not even made the caramel candy yet, but he told her that he wanted to learn how to make it and start this business. Now, he was even going to buy the ingredients himself to get started.
Understanding her meaning, Xue Yan smiled, “He can be even more shrewd than this.”
In his previous life, they had thought that Sifu was just smart and quick-witted, but ever since they went to the capital and he started to manage the family’s a.s.sets for them, his true potential was finally revealed.
He had never seen someone who was better at doing business than Sifu.
Now that Sifu wanted to start this business, they could naturally see how smart Sifu was.
“It’s good to be more refined, so you won’t suffer losses.” Jiang Yue said.
“That’s true.” Xue Yan nodded with a smile. In his past life, Sifu had never suffered a loss. No one had ever been able to take advantage of Sifu.
When Xue Sifu and Xue Erfu returned, it was already afternoon.
Also, because Xue Sifu wanted to sell caramel candy, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan soaked some wheat, but there was still a lot left. Because there were only two pots at home, one big and one small, they could only make 15 kilograms of glutinous rice a day at most. Since the glutinous rice was already sprouting, it couldn’t be done in a day. They had to soak a little bit of wheat today to germinate them, then soak some more tomorrow for more.
The whole process went by very quickly. If it grew well in a day, then they would be able to make the candy quicker. The remaining wheat would grow leaves, and then it wouldn’t be called malt anymore, but wheat seedlings.
