Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold

Li Yun smiled and said, "Neighbors are outside the neighborhood, so what do you do outside." ”

The Li family is next door to the Yao family, and they are much richer than the Yao family. The head of the family, Li Si, once entered the school for two years, although he later changed to farming, but he admired the scholars - this is also the reason why the Li family often helps the Yao family, and the eldest son-in-law of the Yao family is a real scholar. Li Si himself couldn't be a scholar so he put all his hopes on his three sons, but unfortunately the eldest son and the second son were not interested in reading, only the younger son liked to read and had talent, and passed this year's children's exam.

Li Yun can't study hard, but he is indeed a good farmer, and the production flute in the Li family's field allows him to take care of one or two more layers than other families, and such a trivial matter as driving an ox cart is naturally not a problem. In addition to the Yao family, half of the area on the ox cart is occupied by the Yao family, and the other half is pickles made by Aunt Li, which has to be sold at the grocery store. The pickles made by Aunt Li are very delicious, so she often makes the vegetables that she can't finish eating into pickles and sells them to the grocery store.

Yao Huang's current Shilu realm is an overhead dynasty, the country name is Zhou, the north of the Xia Dynasty has the Xia State established by nomads, and the south is the Yue State established by ethnic minorities. Anping County, where Qingshui Village is located, is located in the northernmost part of the Great Zhou Kingdom, close to the Xia Kingdom. Since the signing of the peace agreement between the Zhou and Xia states five years ago, the two countries can trade with each other, and the number of merchants traveling to and from Anping County has increased, and the whole county has become lively and prosperous because of these merchants.

Holding a copy of "Bo You Guangji", Yao Huang passed the time while understanding the basic situation of this world. Now the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has just been on the throne for only a year, and it is said that he was not valued by the previous emperor, but his luck is good, several brothers and brothers have earned their lives to grab the throne, and the current emperor has chosen to take advantage - this is the majority of opinions, Yao Huang feels that this emperor is not simple, and he endures deeply enough, just like Yongzheng, he is the biggest boss behind the scenes.

In addition to the royal family, there are also those families who are high in this world. The rights of the family are not small, and some aspects can even limit the imperial power, but after decades of royal suppression, the rights and status of the family are no longer as good as at the beginning of the founding of the country.

There are rivers and lakes in this world, what are the six major sects, what demon sects, what martial arts alliance masters, teahouse storytellers often talk about some major events that happen in the rivers and lakes, but for a small village girl like Yao Huang, the rivers and lakes are still too far away.

Halfway through reading the book, Anping County arrived. After entering the city gate, several people were divided into two groups, Yao Hong and Wenren Qianye took Xiao Ke and Li Yunzhong's ox cart to the grocery store to process pickles and needlework, and then went to the medical hall of Li Yunxi's apprentice to see a doctor; Yao Huang and Yao Qing went to sell peanuts......

"Second sister, this is not the direction of the market." Yao Qing found that his second sister was going in the wrong direction, and reminded him loudly.

"We don't go to the market."

"Huh? If you don't go to the market, how can you sell peanuts? Yao Qing was puzzled.

"We go to the restaurant and sell it all at once than waste time in the market." Yao Huang had already thought about it, "Maybe we can still get a fixed source of customers." ”

"But will the restaurant accept outside food?" Yao Qing asked worriedly.

"I have faith in peanuts." Yao Huang said to his younger brother, "Don't worry, the second sister promises that today's trip can bring us a long-term income." ”

Baiweiju is the largest restaurant in Anping County, and the reason why this one was chosen is not only because of its large scale and many customers, but also because the owner of this restaurant is the most fair Qi family in Anping County.

"Two guest officers, please." Baiweiju did not refuse Yao Huang and the others to enter the door because of their clothes, and this alone gave Yao Huang a positive score for his impression of Baiweiju.

"Second brother, is your shopkeeper there? I have a business I want to talk to him about. Yao Huang said to Xiao Er with a smile.

Xiao Er looked at the girl who was talking, and found that although she was wearing old clothes with patches on them, she was very clean, and her whole person was downright and generous, not at all like an uninformed little village girl, so she nodded and said, "Please follow me." ”

Led the two sisters and brothers to a table in the corner, Xiao Er turned around and called the shopkeeper over.

"This little lady, surnamed Zhang, is the shopkeeper of Baiweiju, I heard that you have business to discuss with me?" The shopkeeper of Baiweiju is a chubby middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a kind and wealthy look.

Yao Huang didn't talk nonsense, opened the jar directly, and grabbed a few peanuts for the shopkeeper to taste.

Shopkeeper Zhang thoughtfully put the peanuts in his mouth, and after chewing them a few times, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Not bad. How much stock the little lady has, we want it all. ”

"There are about ten catties in the jar, two hundred wen per catty," Yao Huang asked Yao Qing to hand over the jar to the little second brother who was following the shopkeeper Zhang, "Chenghui, a total of two taels of silver." ”

Without hesitation, Shopkeeper Zhang took out two ingots of silver and handed them to Yao Huang, believing that this new food called peanuts would bring them more than ten times the profit of the restaurant.

"Can you exchange one or two of them for copper coins?" Yao Huang asked.

Shopkeeper Zhang glanced at Xiao Er, who hurriedly carried the jar into the kitchen, and took a string of copper coins from the counter.

After taking the copper coin, Yao Huang smiled and said to the shopkeeper Zhang, "Business is prosperous", and pulled Yao Qing to leave Baiweiju.

"Wait a minute." Shopkeeper Zhang called the sister and brother, "May I ask if you still have this kind of peanuts?" ”

"Absolutely." Yao Qing preemptively said, there is still a large piece of land on the mountain, only a small part is sold for two taels of silver, if you sell all the peanuts on the mountain, won't you be able to earn dozens or hundreds of taels of silver? There is no need to worry about the medicinal materials of the brother-in-law, and the family does not have to starve.

"In that case, can we buy peanuts from you?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang is really shrewd," Yao Huang said, "Yes, the peanuts we sell are only simply fried, and any heat can be made as long as there are raw materials." And peanuts can not only be fried dry, but also fried, boiled in salted water, and can also be used for side dishes, stewed soups, and even squeezed oil ......"

The shopkeeper's eyes became brighter and brighter under Yao Huang's description, "On behalf of Baiweiju, I signed a long-term purchase intention with you. ”

"Fifty wen per pound of raw materials." Yao Huang didn't want to waste all his time peeling peanut shells.

"Thirty." The shopkeeper bargains.

"Forty. I can provide some recipes for peanuts to be included in the dish. ”

"Deal."

When the two siblings came out of Baiweiju, in addition to the long-term supply contract signed with Baiweiju, they also had an extra 22 taels of silver on them - Yao Huang sold the recipes of Kung Pao Chicken, Peanut Stewed Pig's Trotters and Fish Skin Peanuts to Barilla, and Kung Pao Chicken was exchanged for 10 taels of silver, and 5 taels each of peanut stewed pig's trotters and fish skin peanuts.

Yao Qing's little face glowed with excitement, more than twenty taels of silver, even if his father and mother were alive, the family had never earned so much silver. The second sister is really capable! Yao Qing thought with admiration.

"Let's go to the eldest sister first, and then go to the market to buy food and daily necessities later." Yao Huangdao.

Yao Qing naturally had no opinion, and when the two of them rushed to the pharmacy, they found that their eldest sister had a bitter face, tears were in her eyes, and she was holding her brother-in-law's arm tightly. The brother-in-law comforted the eldest sister, and there was a trace of helplessness on his breezy face.

"Eldest sister, what's wrong?" Yao Qing asked worriedly.

"Second sister, you sold out of peanuts so quickly?" Yao Hong saw the two of them and hurriedly wiped away her tears, "How much did you sell for it?" ”

"Lady!" Hearing this, Qianye interrupted Yao Hong's words, "Let's go home." ”

"But ......" Yao Hong hesitated, and the worry in her eyes about Wenren Qianye could not be hidden.

"Sister, is there not enough money to buy medicine?" Yao Huang understood when he saw the situation in front of him.

Yao Hong nodded bitterly, she bought needlework and sold it for more than 200 yuan, plus more than 800 yuan on her body, a total of more than one or two silver, I thought it was enough, but after the doctor saw Xianggong, he said that it had been delayed for too long, and Xianggong's illness had a tendency to turn to pneumonia, and he needed good medicine to recuperate, and it cost ten taels of silver. But how can they have so much money? Even if the second sister finds a new food, she can't sell it for a few taels of silver, right?

"How much do you need?"

"Ten taels."

Yao Huang took out a big silver ingot from his arms, "Sister, we have money, hurry up and grab medicine for my brother-in-law." ”

Yao Hong and Wenren Chiba were dumbfounded.

"Second sister, why do you have so much money?"

"Of course you sell peanuts?"

"There aren't many peanuts in that jar, how can they be sold for so many taels of silver?" Wenren Qianye expressed his suspicions, he was not an uninformed village girl like Yao Hong, he had eaten a lot of good things in the past, and he had also eaten rare and rare food, although peanuts were delicious, he had never seen them, but he judged that peanuts should be sold for less than ten taels of silver with such a simple food.

"I only made two taels of silver by selling peanuts, and the rest was obtained from selling recipes."

"Recipes?" The two husbands and wives spoke in unison.

"Yes, the second sister sold three recipes about peanuts to Baiweiju, earned twenty taels of silver, and signed a long-term supply contract with Baiweiju." Yao Qing interjected excitedly. The second sister is so powerful, she made so much money at once, and her brother-in-law's illness can be cured well.

"Second sister, what's going on?" Yao Hong asked in surprise. Wenren Qianye's deep gaze was projected on Yao Huang, and he could see that the girl in front of him did not have any disfigurement, but the previous introverted shyness was gone, and he was full of confidence. When did that change? Wenren Chiba thought about it, as if it had changed since he was rescued from that fall into the water. Is it really like what the old people said, after experiencing great changes in life and death, people's temperament will change?

"I'll tell you more when I get back." Yao Huang didn't want to put his "great achievements" on the street, twenty taels, which the rich couldn't look down on, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a big amount. She didn't want to be remembered by thieves.

"Eldest sister, you and your brother-in-law grab the medicine first. I took my little brother to the market to buy some supplies. ”
