Xue Liujin slept so deeply that Zheng Yucheng eventually had to carry him to bed, and despite all the disturbance, he didn’t wake up.
This really got them excited.
Madam Xue also felt that she owed the Chiang Family too much, so she planned to take Ge Liutao shopping at the department store the next day. Whatever Ge Liutao took a fancy to, she would pay for it, hoping to ease her conscience somewhat.
As for Chiang Songhai, staying home and chatting with Xue Liujin was perfect for him since he didn’t like shopping at those kinds of places anyway.
The next day, Zheng Yucheng drove to Furong Hotel to pick up Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao and took them to the Xue Family’s home.
Chiang Xiao finally had a chance to act on her own, which thrilled her to no end.
She felt that she had been watched too closely recently, especially in the days following her encounter with Tyrant Meng.
The pressure of being with him was immense!
And, well, it wasn’t any less stressful having to write letters when not together!
After breakfast, she went right to the factory. It was still working hours, and the gatekeeper, a nice "Big Master," called the person in charge of the staff cafeteria for her when he heard she had game to sell.
The person in charge was intrigued by the idea of buying game at the same price as pork. Chiang Xiao came prepared, carrying a basket on her back filled with about ten pounds of rabbit and pheasant meat, freshly taken out of the "Space," still as fresh as when it had first been butchered.
The steward, who regularly handled the procurement of vegetables and meat, was naturally able to tell the quality and struck a deal with Chiang Xiao immediately for five hundred pounds.
Chiang Xiao was worried about how they would keep the meat fresh, but it turned out that the factory already had a cold storage facility, so there was no problem at all.
The game-selling business couldn’t last too long anyway. Initially, Chiang Xiao was content with selling five hundred pounds, but when she heard about their cold storage, she used her silver tongue to persuade the manager to buy an additional three hundred pounds.
That amounted to eight hundred pounds of meat, naturally because she priced it very cheaply.
This kind of deal wasn’t something one could stumble upon every day.
Just in time, the factory’s leaders and workers had been complaining about the monotonous and tasteless meals in the cafeteria, fed up with the same old dishes.
The steward thought to himself that he could now change the menu frequently, and nobody would have cause to grumble! Plus, the price was low.
He figured he had a fair shot at being named this year’s outstanding employee.
Having cleared out the meat reserve in her "Space," Chiang Xiao felt a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. It was sad not having meat to eat, but it was also troublesome having too much of it.
There was so much she didn’t know when she would finish it all.
Besides, after getting rid of that batch, she could go up to the mountains and slowly accumulate more, saving it for later.
However, the inability to find a suitable house was somewhat disappointing.
The packaging boxes were already being made. Once her grandparents were familiarized with the process, she would be ready to start the pastry business, so it was imperative to find a place soon, wasn’t it?
Although she could start in Peace Town, such expensive pastries would have a better chance of finding customers in the provincial capital.
Hence, Chiang Xiao was looking for either a two-story house or a storefront with living quarters in the back.
But the current real estate market for buying or leasing was still undeveloped, with most people preferring to live in or run their own businesses out of their properties, and few were willing to rent them out.
