บท 133: Preparing to Plant Chillies

Xiao Qing was in front of the stove. Lin Xiaoyue didn't see Li Xiao and Xiaozhi.

"They went to Uncle Sun's house. He finished some furniture and asked Xiao'er to collect it. Your little brother went with him." Liu Shi said.

"Oh." Lin Xiaoyue responded.

"All the furniture we ordered should be almost done, right?"

"Yes. Uncle Sun said that there are two more pieces left and that they will be completed tomorrow. After breakfast, ask Li Xiao to go to Stonemason Yan's house to bring the grinding stone back. This way, we can prepare to sell the cold glutinous cakes." Liu Shi said.

The cold glutinous cakes could only be sold on hot days. When the weather cooled down, not many would buy them.

After the autumn harvest, they would be sending the two children to the academy. They heard that it would cost a total of eight or nine taels of silver.

They also had to prepare some money to buy the two children a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone each.
