Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen - Chapter 20

Agreement

Jian Qingqing really agreed with Uncle Ox’s words. She said with a smile, “Uncle Ox is really knowledgeable. No wonder your family is living so well!”

Uncle Ox also liked this girl who had ideas and guts, he encouraged her, “Making money means doing whatever you want. I’m afraid that people who are afraid of things will never earn any money. Look and see. How is it possible to make money? I like girls like you who have courage. If you do it boldly, you will definitely make money!”

Jian Qingqing laughed out loud. “Sure! Thank you for your kind words, sir!”

The group of people chatted and laughed and soon reached home. Originally, Uncle Ox’s ox-cart only passed through the entrance of the Jian Family Village. However, he felt that he was very compatible with Jian Qingqing, so he took the initiative to send them to their home.

Jian Qingqing took the things down and thanked Uncle Ox with a smile.

Father Jian had been holding back his anger all the way until he saw Old Man Jian. Then, he was about to complain. However, Jian Qingqing explained her big plan of making money before he could open his mouth.

Old Man Jian was silent for a long time. He held his old pipe and did not say anything. There was no tobacco in the pipe, but he would take it out from time to time to satisfy his craving.

Seeing that Old Man Jian did not say anything, Father Jian looked at Jian Qingqing proudly.

Jian Qingqing could not be bothered with him, but her heart gradually sank.

Could it be that her grandfather did not support her? If her family did not agree, she would have no choice but to think of other ways.

At this moment, Old Man Jian looked up as if he had made up his mind. He looked at Father Jian seriously and then shifted his gaze to Jian Qingqing. “Do you really want to do this?”

Jian Qingqing immediately sat up straight and answered very seriously, “Grandpa, this is not an impulse of mine. I have thought about it for a long time. I have considered whether it is feasible and whether it can be done.”

“Alright, then do as you wish.” Old Man Jian’s voice was kind and firm.

Jian Qingqing’s heart was like a roller coaster. Although she had expected Old Man Jian to agree, the result still made her so happy that she cried.

She said seriously, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will definitely succeed.”

She knew that it was not easy for an old man who had been digging for food for his entire life to agree to this matter. However, because he loved his granddaughter, he gave her infinite support and tolerance.

Jian Dalang was dumbfounded. “No, Father, how can you agree? If she doesn’t succeed in making this meat, wouldn’t it be a waste? The capital is huge!”

Since Old Man Jian was not on his side, he planned to find another ally. Jian Dalang tugged at Mother Jian’s arm, who was cooking. “Honey, do you think Qingqing is fooling around?”

Mother Jian smiled gently. “I think Big Sister’s idea is quite good. How much meat will there be? If you can’t sell it, you can eat it yourself.”

Mother Jian was a person who did not have her own opinions. She listened to her father-in-law, her husband, and her child. However, she loved her child more, so she would choose to support her child without hesitation.

Jian Qingqing leaned on her shoulder. “Mom, you’re so kind!”

Jian Dalang was so angry that he did not say anything.

“Alright, this matter is decided. Dalang, look at us. We’ve been honest for decades and only know how to dig for food in the fields. What did we get? We didn’t get anything. It was only enough to feed the whole family. After a natural disaster, the whole family almost starved to death. Do you remember what happened to your little brother? If we had the money to pay for corvee, we wouldn’t have let him go to the battlefield. He wouldn’t have died at such a young age.”

“I’ve had enough of this life without money. If Big Sister has ideas and is willing to take action, I’ll let her do it. It’s much better than us being cowardly. If she makes a mistake, we’ll just ask her to come back. It’s not like we will lose a lot at home.”

Hearing Old Man Jian’s words and mentioning his brother who had died in battle, Father Jian was speechless. He reluctantly agreed to let Jian Qingqing do business.
