At night, Ye Xiaoxian waited until everyone was done then let Li Hongmei call the other brothers over there to eat cold jelly. The oil lamp was burning in the room. In the dim light, Ye Xiaoxian divided the cold jelly into five portions and let them taste it.

“Sister-in-law, the cold jelly was delicious; it’s actually sweet.” Baofeng took the first bite and couldn’t help praising her.

Baozhu then ate a spoonful, feeling that it was slippery. The smell of grass with a trace of sweetness was the taste of mesona herb. She couldn’t help praising Ye Xiaoxian.

“So nice, sister, was this what the old immortal taught you to do?”

“Yes, Ye Xiaoxian answered, and then looked at Xiao Baoshan.

Xiao Baoshan was already tasting it. Although he ate rudely, he was full of masculinity. When the corners of his mouth moved, his angular face was exposed, which was very sexy.

After taking two sips, he looked at Ye Xiaoxian and said lightly, “This is the best cold jelly I have ever had.”

Li Hongmei had also eaten half a bowl and she also said, “Yes, this was also the best cold jelly I’ve ever had. Little Ye, how did you make it so delicious? I’ve eaten cold jelly in town before and it was all bitter.”

Baozhu helped Ye Xiaoxian respond. “There was an old immortal to help and, naturally, it’s delicious.”

“Seeing that everyone felt it was so delicious,” Ye Xiaoxian began to talk on the subject. “Since you all feel that it’s delicious, why don’t we sell cold jelly in the county?”

“Erm…Little Ye, do you want to do business in the county?” Li Hongmei asked.

Others also looked at her in surprise, especially Baozhu, who was so surprised that she couldn’t close her mouth. Although the women in Da Liang Village worked a lot, they were not only able to go and work in the town, but also brought up their kids. However, few women had left to do business.

“Ma, I have calculated that a bowl of cold jelly can be sold for two copper coins in the town. If we sell a hundred bowls a day, we can get two hundred pennies. After deducting the costs, we can make one hundred and eighty pennies. This is faster than cutting wood to make money.

When talking about the business, Ye Xiaoxian said, “The cost of selling cold jelly is not high. In the early stage we only need to put in a few spoons, sugar water, a few buckets, and pick it up to sell when the cold jelly is ready. Isn’t Baoshan going to work in the county every day? He can take a trip for us, Ma and I will take another trip, and we will not be tired.”

Li Hongmei, Baozhu and Baofeng still watched her dully.

It sounded great, but they didn’t understand it.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled. “Well, just listen to me. I am confident that our cold jelly could be sold for money.”

Li Hongmei and the others were still dazed, but Xiao Baoshan understood what she said.

Unexpectedly, he was the first to agree.

“It’s rare that Little Ye has such guts. I thought it should be supported. Tomorrow I will be able to get my salary for this month. I could buy some spoons for Little Ye”.

“But Baoshan…” Li Hongmei couldn’t help worrying. “Maybe it is not appropriate for women…to go out and show themselves?”

“Ma, there were many women in the city who came out to do business. So long as they made money by working, there is nothing wrong with it.” Xiao Baoshan said with certainty.

Under the light, Ye Xiaoxian looked at Xiao Baoshan, thinking that Xiao Baoshan had advanced in his thinking on such matters. How could he be so pedantic in marriage?

Li Hongmei saw that since Xiao Baoshan agreed, how could she disagree, so she said excitedly, “Indeed you as husband and wife have shared one mind; within only one night, you guys…”

Ye Xiaoxian nudged Li Hongmei under the table, motioning to her to say no more.

Xiao Baoshan also stopped her. “Ma, it’s getting late; everyone should hurry back to the room.”

Li Hongmei ignored this and asked, “Baoshan, weren’t you going back to the room to sleep with Little Ye?”

Xiao Baoshan’s face turned red. He glanced at Ye Xiaoxian. Ye Xiaoxian wasn’t shy. She just stared straight at him and waited for his response.

Seeing this, Xiao Baoshan quickly looked away, then stood up and said, “Ma, I’m still sleeping with Baofeng. You should rest early.”

“Baoshan, you…” Li Hongmei still tried to stop Xiao Baoshan, but she failed.

“Baoshan was going too…Alas, I will teach him a lesson tomorrow when I have time.” Li Hongmei looked at Ye Xiaoxian with pity.

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t care. They hadn’t reached such a level of intimacy and haste made waste.
