Chapter 369: Making Money is Too Easy
Anything on the pedestrian street, once taken away, will immediately have an identical one appear in its place.
With such an incredible skill, if she doesn't take the opportunity to become the richest person in the country, it would be a shame to have such a huge golden finger.
Of course, because Xia Chan had previously moved away half of the national treasury’s wealth, he is now actually the richest man in the country.
She just didn't regard the wealth that she obtained so easily as her own.
Xia Chan glanced at the master who followed Xie Yunying in. Behind him were two apprentices, carrying a table and walking in.
There was a square table in the middle that was sunken and just big enough to hold a portable gas stove, so they carried it in.
Appeared in front of Xia Chan.
The master carpenter didn't know who Xia Chan was.
But when he saw Xie Yunying talking to Xia Chan respectfully, he boldly guessed that this was the person who asked him to make such a strange table.
The carpenter came forward.
"Hello, madam."
Xia Chan was wearing a felt hat with a veil hanging down, hiding her true face.
The carpenter came forward to say hello, and she nodded, her eyes falling on the table not far away.
"How many tables like this can you make in a day?"
She wants a lot here, twenty-eight tables.
And it’s on time.
What she was thinking was that she must open this hot pot restaurant before the New Year.
The carpenter said, "Madam, as long as the price is right, I can make all the tables and send them to you in two days."
In fact, these tables only need to be made by cutting the middle part according to the size and then nailing on a few baffles.
The process is very simple.
The reason I said two days was because I was worried that Xia Chan would think the money was too easy to make and would lower his price.
To be honest, he could finish it in one day.
"one day!"
The summer cicada spoke.
She doesn't have that much time to waste.
If she didn't want to do it herself, she would have done it herself long ago, and it wouldn't have been the turn of outsiders at all.
The carpenter didn't expect that Xia Chan could guess his working hours so accurately.
He pretended to be embarrassed, but in his heart he was actually relieved. After all, the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, and it would be great to make some money before the Chinese New Year.
After thinking about it, the carpenter nodded and agreed.
Xia Chan gave the money to the carpenter and asked him to deliver the table the day after tomorrow morning.
From tonight to the morning of the day after tomorrow, it is already one day plus two nights. In this amount of time, let alone making more than 20 tables, even 50 tables should be no problem.
In addition to the hot pot table, she also ordered a few other things.
The rack for placing vegetables when eating hot pot, and some racks used in stores.
There are drawings for these things, and Xia Chan handed the drawings to the carpenter.
Holding a heavy bag of silver in his palm, the carpenter chuckled, nodded, bowed and said goodbye to Xia Chan.
"I will certainly deliver the table the day after tomorrow morning."
The owner of this store was so generous that I paid the full amount before I even saw the items.
It's so comfortable to do business with such people.
The carpenter took the silver and left with a smile, going back to his shop to work.
The carpenter was able to remain so calm because he didn't know Xia Chan's true face under his hat.
If he knew that the person he was doing business with was the current queen, his hands would probably tremble when he took the silver.
After the carpenter left, Xia Chan also prepared to go back.
Xie Yunying looked at the table in front of her and asked Xia Chan curiously how to use such a table.
"Is this the place in the middle for the hot pot?" she asked, pointing to the middle of the table.
"Yeah." Xia Chan nodded.
"Sister-in-law, can we still have hot pot tonight?"
Xie Yunying asked with bright eyes.
Xia Chan was checking the workmanship of the table. When she heard what Xie Yunying said, she smiled and said, "Mom and the eldest and second sisters-in-law are here. It's okay to have hot pot."
"Mom, are they here?"
Xie Yunying was still thinking about having one or two more nights of freedom, but she didn't expect her mother and the others to come over.
But then again, there are still two days before my third brother and sister-in-law get married.
It is understandable that my mother and my elder and younger sisters-in-law came here to take care of things these two days.
After all, there are no elders in my sister-in-law's family, and the Xie family is both my sister-in-law's in-laws' family and her parents' family.
Xia Chan and Xie Yunying returned to Xia Mansion together.
Xie Liu planned to stay and supervise, work late into the night, and clean up the Queen's hot pot restaurant as soon as possible.
Xia Chan stood on the carriage, lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Liu who was not far away. "Go back and eat, then come over."
"My lady, I will just eat something here."
Xie Liu is very sensible.
Xie Yunying was about to get on the carriage. When she heard Xie Liu's words, she turned around and looked at Xie Liu.
"Sixth brother, aren't you going? The hot pot cooked by sister-in-law is delicious."
Xie Yunying was really polite to Xie Lin's secret guards and called each of them brother.
The only girl is Twelve, and she is also called sister.
These secret guards are all orphans. Some of them have abandoned their own surnames, and some don’t even know where they were born.
They all have the surname Xie, and their names are arranged according to numbers for easy memorization.
"Thank you, Miss Yunying. I won't go."
"That's it."
Xie Yunying felt a little regretful, but didn't know what to say.
Although she seems lively, she is not always good at speaking.
For example, now.
Xia Chan looked at her sister-in-law's expression, bent down with a faint smile on her lips, and entered the carriage.
Xie Yunying also followed him into the carriage.
The soldiers guarding them drove the carriage towards Xia Mansion.
In the evening, the streets of Chang'an are still bustling with people coming and going.
After all, this is the main street of Chang'an City.
Moreover, there is no war now. After the world is at peace, the capital of the kingdom has regained its former bustle, and is even more lively than the most glorious time of the previous dynasty.
Although it has been snowing these days, the streets are still swept very clean.
The carriage clattered along the bluestone slabs.
Xia Chan and Xie Yunying were chatting in the warm carriage.
The world is peaceful now, so Xia Chan doesn't have to worry about being assassinated even if he travels in simple clothes.
This is also the reason why Xie Lin felt relieved to let Xia Chan go out.
He eliminated all dangers, so his wife and children could go out without worry.
Xie Lin did not ask his wife to stay in the palace every day.
He would not use any treaty or rules from the previous dynasty to restrain Xia Chan.
She does whatever she wants.
With his pampering, he can handle everything.
.........
It wasn't long before Xia Chan and the others arrived at the Xia Mansion.
Dinner had already been prepared at home.
But because Xie Yunying strongly requested to eat hotpot, Xia Chan, as her sister-in-law, naturally had to satisfy her sister-in-law's wish.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xie Su glanced at her daughter helplessly and said to Xia Chan on the side, "Xiao Chan, don't spoil this girl too much. You're going to spoil her."
