Qiao Xiaomai is a favored figure by Yang Wenxiao. When her temper flares, she even dares to talk back to Yang Ye, so at this moment, no matter who comes from outside, she refuses to see them.
Relying on sweet potato balls, Sweet Potato Cake, and Monkey Brain Spicy Strips, she now earns hundreds of thousands of taels of silver daily, and millions each month. This is more than enough to maintain the expenses for the canal and the bluestone road, and she makes this money quietly and effortlessly.
Since the money she earns is enough, and she won't slap her own face, she firmly insists on not selling.
This year, she absolutely won't sell.
If they want it, they'll have to come back next year.
Her words have some flexibility to them: next year, come back.
Next year—there are only two months until the New Year. If she sells on the first day of the New Year, that is still technically next year.
Qiao Xiaomai says she won't meet anyone—who can do anything about her?
