Chapter 53

Jiang Shanqing noticed Li Meier's adoring eyes, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Don't look at me like that, those who don't know think I'm your father."

When Li Meier heard this, she immediately fell back angrily, hum, she took back what she just said, this old devil is not as good as she thought, his words are too irritating!

The dinner was very sumptuous. In order to reward Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Li specially asked Mrs. Qiu to cook some good dishes. Unfortunately, Mrs. Jiang didn't have much appetite today. She only drank a bowl of soup and couldn't eat some vegetarian dishes. It was cheaper Li Meier And Jiang Shanqing, they were exhausted today, and their food intake was much larger than usual, almost all the dishes on the table were eaten by the two of them.

Mrs. Li looked at these two snacks, her heart trembled, how big is this, it can be eaten like this, if it is bigger, it will make her poor.

Li Mei'er doesn't care about Mrs. Li's unattractive face, she is also a person who can make money now, so she should eat more.

After dinner, Mrs. Li was finally able to continue asking questions. Looking at Mrs. Jiang, she hurriedly asked, "Mother Meimei, how much did you earn today?"

"I don't know too well, I haven't calculated it carefully, but I guess it's about five taels." Jiang and the others didn't have time to count the silver, they only said a rough figure.

When Mrs. Li heard that there were so many five taels, she immediately covered her chest, "My God, it's only been a day, and you've earned so much money?"

"Madam, it's true, the money is in the box, and I'll count it right now in front of you."

Mrs. Lin had already taken out the money box, and dumped all the broken silver and copper coins on the table.

"I'll count it myself!" Mrs. Li waved her hand and counted the copper coins one by one without letting others intervene.

After a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Li counted all the money.

"There are 2100 copper coins, and the broken silver is about three taels, and the total is about five taels." Li Lao Niang held the silver coins and smiled happily.

She carefully put all the money into a purse, and ordered Mrs. Lin to string up the copper coins, and then she looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mrs. Meier, you can be regarded as a hero this time. When our business is over, I will share it with you." Forty percent of the profit will be given to you."

Mrs. Li was also generous this time, and directly distributed [-]% of the profit to Mrs. Jiang. After all, if Mrs. Jiang hadn't come up with the idea, she would not have gotten so much money.

Mrs. Jiang thought it would be good for Mrs. Li to give her three achievements, but she didn't expect her to be so straightforward this time, so she smiled and said: "Mom, I only get three achievements, and I want to give the other ten percent to my natal family. Thanks to the four sheep sent by my mother, otherwise our cost would not be so low." It is not cheap to buy goat milk outside.

"It should be, it should be, thanks to the help of my in-laws this time." Mrs. Li agreed with a smile, as long as it is not distributed from her share, it doesn't matter.

Mrs. Li finished counting today's income, and let Jiang and the others go back to rest earlier.

After everyone left, she sighed to Pozi Lin again: "I really didn't expect that the ice cream business is so lucrative, and we only spent five renminbi to buy the materials, but we earned it back." It's five taels of silver, ten times the profit, if others know about it, they shouldn't rush to do this business."

"Ma'am, other people don't know how to make this kind of ice cream. We have this stuff. It's a secret recipe!" Mrs. Lin said with a smile. It's not a small reward, after all, her monthly salary is only five hundred cash.

"Yes! It's the secret recipe." Mrs. Li nodded her head in agreement, and then couldn't help feeling emotional, "It seems that I did the right thing in agreeing to adopt Shanqing, otherwise there would be no such profitable business today."

"Ma'am, I think young master Shanqing is really extraordinary. He can learn such a secret recipe from books at a young age, and it will definitely be even worse when he grows up. I think he has a very good relationship with our little lady. How about..."

Mrs. Lin thought it would be nice for the two children to have a doll kiss, and if they were locked up first, they would not be afraid of being snatched away later.

"Look again, the two children are still young now, Shanqing looks very clever now, but it's hard to say when he grows up, our family's Mei Meier is also very smart, looks good and fits well. It’s not impossible for those wealthy families.”

Mrs. Li still had some concerns about the identity of Jiang Shanqing's illegitimate son. She felt that her family was pure and white, and her son might make further progress in the imperial examination in the future. It was not impossible for those rich families to think about it. Her old man was somewhat ambitious.

Li Mei'er didn't know that Mrs. Li had such great ambitions for her marriage. She was still more than ten years old before getting married. Now she only needs to eat, drink, play and sleep.

Right now she was taking a shower, lying on the bed and asking Jiang to dry her hair.

"Mother, I'm going to sell ice cream tomorrow." Li Meier said to Jiang Shi with her head raised.

Mrs. Jiang did not agree, rubbed her head with a handkerchief, and said: "No, I will let you go with me today because I am watching. Tomorrow it will be you, Nanny Lin and Chuan'er. They will sell you." Bingche has no time to look at you."

"I don't need them to watch, I can take care of myself." Li Meier poked her head out of the veil and protested.

There are so many people in the market town, what if some bad guys take you away, you are so small, you won't even be able to run away! "Jiang said to frighten Li Meier.

Li Meier is not a real child, so naturally she won't be frightened by Jiang Shi.

"No, if a bad person wants to get close to me, I will immediately yell and run to Nurse Lin and the others." Li Meier said confidently.

"How do you know which one is a bad person, and the bad people won't write them on their faces as bad people. Okay, stop talking and go to bed." How could Jiang believe that a three-year-old child has the ability to protect himself, and wiped his face. Li Meier's hair, said as she tucked her into the bed.

Li Mei'er was very helpless, it was troublesome to be a small person, and it was inconvenient to do anything.

"Mother, I want to live in a room by myself." Seeing that Mrs. Jiang and Li Yan were about to go to bed, Li Meier quickly made her request.

Jiang frowned, and refused without thinking, "No, how old are you!"

"I'm going to be four soon!" Li Meier was not convinced.

"You look like this, I thought you were going to be forty soon." Jiang scolded with a grin.

Li Meier was depressed, but she still said stubbornly: "I'm not a child anymore, I don't want to live in the same room with my parents."

"Mei Meier, if you live in a room by yourself, you won't be afraid at night. Be careful of the big bad wolf coming to you." Li Yan, who had already changed into his pajamas, also threatened Li Meier.
