Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 401 - 256: A Strange Feeling

The jam-infused juice, with its sweet and sour taste, was much loved by both Erniang and Xiaoxue.

Especially with its pinkish hue in the white porcelain bowl, just looking at it put one in a particularly cheerful mood.

However, the men seemed not very enthusiastic about these sweet things. Although they admitted it tasted good and were surprised that Xiaomi could create such a miraculous thing, that was the extent of it.

Liu Ze drank his share of the juice while listening to Xiaomi’s plans, nodding thoughtfully.

Besides mixing it with water, the jam could also be eaten with mantou, or added to cold drinks.

The weather was getting hotter, and it was time for cold drinks to hit the market.

"Sending them to the restaurant is indeed a great idea. There are two restaurants in the city where many wealthy ladies and wives go to drink tea. Or they could be sent to the theater as well,"

"The theater? Why?" Xiaoxue was puzzled.

"Men mostly like to drink and have tea, but this juice suits the taste of women and children. Many women like to meet to listen to opera, and they also drink tea at the theater."

Jiang Yu nodded along: "Xiao Ze is right. After we go to the city tomorrow, we should first ask at the theater and the restaurant."

The three jars of jam were all meant to be sold, but Xiaomi decided to keep the one for herself and split half of it out. When the driver took Liu Ze and the others back, he took it back with him.

The Jiang and Liu families, apart from when the Jiang family first moved to Xiangmu Village, had little contact thereafter. However, when either side got something good, they would still habitually send some to the other’s household.

After handing the jam to her brothers, Xiaomi didn’t bother with it anymore. Although she enjoyed making it, that was because of the profit. As for sweet foods, she wasn’t particularly fond of them.

But the next day, she was still happy to follow Xiaocao to pick berries. Though she wasn’t fond of sweet foods, she really enjoyed playing in the mountains!

Especially with Xiaocao leading, there was no worry about taking a wrong path; they could directly find where these things were!

The happiest thing for Xiaomi was that Zhang An was finally not tagging along with them anymore!

Ever since he wet his pants in fright that time, he probably felt embarrassed himself. Every time he saw them, especially when he saw Wei Ziang, he would walk around them.

The Jiang family had more paddies, but with Jiang Hu hiring people to work, it only took a day and a half to finish everything. Now they just needed to wait for the rice seedlings to take root.

Jiang Hu continued to construct the pigpen while Erniang and Aunt Liu went looking for wild pig weed. After all, there were still pigs and rabbits at home, and they needed food every day.

Thanks to Xiaomi, Xiaocao’s parents felt that following Xiaomi was more profitable than working at home daily. So she would show up to find Xiaomi punctually every day and then take her up the mountain.

The first day’s jam, three jars, sold for a total of three hundred copper coins, which meant fifty copper coins per jin.

After deducting expenses for sugar and salt, two hundred and fifty-five copper coins were left.

When Zhang Xiaocao received her one hundred and seventy copper coins, she was completely stunned, overwhelmed with joy, almost faint with excitement.

It wasn’t just Xiaocao; when she took the copper coins home and handed them to her parents, Zhang Yuan and his wife were equally ecstatic, almost to the point of celebrating with gongs and drums.

Thus, the couple felt increasingly that following Xiaomi meant having better meals. If it were possible, they would’ve wanted their daughter to follow Xiaomi all day long.

However, the profit from the jam wasn’t just about these two hundred plus copper coins.

Starting from the second day, Xiaocao and Wei Ziang began heading up the mountain with their baskets, but Xiaomi, due to her young age, was stopped by them and could only carry a basket.

Unfortunately, although the jam was profitable, berries weren’t available every day. Except for the second day, when they picked about five or six jin more, the amount gradually decreased.

Especially by the fourth day, when the family finished their chores, adults and children began going up the mountain to pick berries, hoping to make some extra money.

Their three-person advantage disappeared entirely. That day, the total amount picked by all three was less than five jin.

Xiaomi instantly lost interest, deciding not to bother anymore. With such a small amount, the jam made was not even enough to fill the teeth gaps.

Xiaocao was a bit disappointed, but berries were wild, and everyone had the right to pick them.

Moreover, over the past few days, they had already earned several hundred copper coins, and her mother even bought fabric to make her a new dress, so she was satisfied!

However, during this period of frequently going up and down the mountain with Xiaomi, Xiaocao got to know her well and knew that Xiaomi was someone who couldn’t stay idle.
