The glutinous cake was cold and refreshing, and it was one of the most delicious snacks and desserts in summer.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue was determined to make them.
“Aunt Wang, does anyone in our village have a stone mill?” She immediately asked Aunt Wang.
“There’s one at the village chief’s house, why?” Aunt Wang asked with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“I just thought of a cold snack. I think I can try making it.”
“What snack is it?” Before Aunt Wang could ask, Wang Erya asked.

She had to bring back two catties of brown sugar when she went to town the next day.
The next day.
Lin Xiaoyue and Wang Shuanzi took the ox-cart to town early in the morning.
First, she went to Ruyi Restaurant to sell some prey. Then she went to the market to buy some vegetables.
After buying the ingredients, Lin Xiaoyue went to the grocery store to buy two catties of brown sugar.
Then, she carried the basket and walked out of town.
She didn’t wait long before she saw Wang Shuanzi riding the ox-cart back. She got on the ox-cart and returned to Daishi village with him.
When they got home, Lin Xiaoyue gave the things she bought to Liu Shi, and then began to prepare the ingredients for the cold glutinous cake.
She had to try it.
If it worked, she could go to town to sell them after the house was built.
Ever since their family started building the house, the family’s daily expenses had increased greatly.
In order to build a better house, she didn’t ask Uncle Jiang to save on the bricks. As a result, she increased the number of bricks ordered from the brick kiln.
The house was only half built. Excluding the 60 taels of silver she paid to the construction team, the cost of the materials, the workers’ wages, and the daily purchase of food, she had spent more than 80 taels of silver in total.
However, in addition to building a house, she was also planning to build a heated bed, a stove and lay stone slabs on the courtyard and every room. These expenses would not be a small number.
In addition, when the house was built, there would be a need to add furniture and some other things to the house. By then, she did not know how much money she would have to spend.
It was also fortunate that Liang Chengcai had given her 50 taels of silver as a thank you gift before he left, so she had the confidence to let Uncle Jiang go all out.
However, even so, when the house was built and everything was settled, she would not have much money left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that it was the middle of summer, and she and Li Xiao had hunted too much in the mountains, it was no longer so easy to hunt.
She had thought about it. Hunting, in a sense, also depended on luck, so she had to consider doing business and finding other ways to make a living.
For example, selling cold glutinous cake while the weather was hot.
In the future, when she grew sweet potatoes, potatoes, and chilies, she would have more opportunities.
There was a large population in Qingshi Town, and the people in town were willing to spend money. In addition, there were many merchants coming and going, so the business environment was actually not bad.
Lin Xiaoyue took a wooden bucket and went to get the polished rice from her interspatial ring.
Seeing that not only was there not much polished rice left, there was also less than half a bucket of coarse rice left in the bucket. Her face was filled with helplessness.
In order to not attract attention and save costs, their family had been eating coarse rice all this time.
However, they had to feed more than 20 people a day, and most of them were young men who did physical work. The amount of coarse rice they consumed every day was also not a small amount.
It seemed that she would have to go to the grain store again tomorrow.
In addition, their family used to consume a lot of refined rice every day. Previously, she had calculated that the food in her interspatial ring could last until next year, but now, she was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to last that long.
