Chapter Thirty-Eight
"Ah Chen, it's really the first time I've eaten such a delicious roasted sweet potato!"
Da Zhuang still wanted to eat again, and picked up one that he was reluctant to let go, but his bulging stomach told the master that he really couldn't put it down, so he could only put it down helplessly.
"No matter how delicious it is, I can't let you eat it, you're the third one, right?" Sun Chen pretended to be angry and said that sweet potatoes are easy to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the human gastrointestinal tract, and if you eat too much at one time, it will make people feel bloated and burped. The sugar content in sweet potatoes is high, and eating too much will cause a lot of gastric acid in the stomach, which may cause a series of adverse reactions such as spitting acid water or heartburn.
People who have an empty stomach in the morning, or who have to go to sleep soon after eating in the evening, especially those who do not have a good gastrointestinal function, it is best not to eat sweet potatoes.
Because of this, Sun Chen's roasted sweet potatoes are best used as a snack for shopping, rather than a staple food in the morning and evening.
"Huzi, we can't be the same as your big brother, you have to remember that no matter how delicious things are, you can't eat more, or the big belly that doesn't hold up will drag you down, and you won't grow taller in the future!"
"Huh?" Huzi, who was only eleven years old, listened, looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and reluctantly put it down. "Brother Ah Chen, will you invite me to eat again in the future? My mother baked it at home, and after eating it, her mouth and hands were black, and it was not as delicious as what you baked. ”
"Hehe, of course I will," Sun Chen, who was patted on the back, promised with a smile, "Brother Ah Chen will sell roasted sweet potatoes in our town in the future, and every time you go there to find me in the future, I will send you two to eat, okay?" ”
"Really? Thank you, Brother Chen! Huzi's eyes were shining, and he silently made up his mind that he must follow his father when he goes to town in the future.
The charcoal that Uncle Tie Niu covered was really the best, and Sun Chen was lucky enough to come across the pile he had just covered with a few peach woods, so he simply bought it with him at the price of one pound and one penny.
Originally, Lin Tieniu didn't plan to ask for money, but Sun Chen made it clear that he was using this thing to make money, and if he didn't collect money, he could only find someone else to buy it in the future, so he agreed to accept it.
Looking at the heat-insulating cotton gloves specially made by the second girl in his hand, he had another idea in his heart, why not let his sister and Aunt Zhu try this at home?
Winters here are quite cold. Although it is not the kind of cold method that can freeze your ears when you come out bareheaded, the phenomenon of hands and feet being frozen has also happened frequently.
The feet are a little better, and you can wear cotton shoes. But when you do things in winter, you can't shrink your hands, your hands are red and swollen from the cold, and even there are not a few people who have frostbite, and there are very few people who know how to care after freezing.
When I went to the hospital to see Langzhong, there was no one who couldn't get down for one or two halves of silver, so how could ordinary dealers be willing to do it?
If they make gloves and sell them to the merchant Yang, he will definitely be happy to sell them for five yuan a pair, and then sell them through him, and ten yuan a pair can also be sold quickly.
The cloth used for gloves is a small piece, and you can also use smaller fabrics to put together, remember that in the corner of the cloth village, a small piece of cloth is only three pennies a pound, a pound can weigh a big pile, and ten pairs of gloves can not be used up. Cotton is not used much, one or two cotton can make two or three pairs of gloves, such a pair of gloves, the cost is less than two pennies.
A little girl like Erniu can easily make twenty or thirty pairs of gloves a day, and she has at least sixty or seventy dollars a day.
However, the technical content of this thing is too low, and the average woman who can sew and thread can make it with a little research, so it is easy to be imitated, and can only be supplied in large quantities when it is first put on the market, and make a little 'trick money'.
I thought of it, and I divided the remaining roasted sweet potatoes for everyone and took them home, and left a few for the old courtyard alone, and Sun Chen sent the second girl to send them over.
He took his gloves and followed Da Zhuang to his house, and went to Aunt Zhu and Aunt Qingyun to discuss things.
When the two aunts saw the gloves in Sun Chen's hand, they couldn't help but praise Sun Chen for thinking cleverly.
Sun Chen took the opportunity to tell them the idea that had just popped up in his heart.
"Let's make things before it snows first, even if the merchant Yang doesn't agree to help us sell it, I will take it to the town to sell, even if it is a loss, I can't lose much." If the aunts want to work together, let's earn more and earn less, if the aunts want to be safe, this capital will be paid by me, you are waiting to get the salary of three copper plates per pair of gloves, but after I earn money, you can't regret it. Look, what's the solution? ”
After Sun Chen said the pros and cons, he stopped talking and left time for the two of them.
The two concubines looked at each other, and neither of them could come up with an idea for a while. After a long while, Yao Qingyun spoke to Sun Chen, "Ah Chen, you said that you should try to do as much as possible at the beginning, can I ask my sister-in-law for help?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, but I have to let the aunts help keep it secret, and I can't let others see it until I sell it. After all, it's not a hard thing to get, and I'm just trying to make some money. ”
And this 'tricky money' has only one chance to earn.
"Then I'll get paid." Yao Qingyun felt very embarrassed, he didn't know if he could earn money, so he asked Ah Chen for wages here.
"Okay, no problem." Sun Chen was not surprised at all, because as far as he knew, Yao Qingyun's maiden brothers were not having a good time, and of course they wanted to be safe.
"Ah Chen, if you don't take more aunts, I'll give you five taels of silver, and if you make money, you will calculate the salary for me according to a pair of gloves and three cents, and then pay me back the capital of five taels of silver, if you don't make money, you will be treated as a partner between your aunt and you, and you will compensate everyone together!" Aunt Zhu got up at this time and took out five taels of silver from the inner room, handed it to Sun Chen, and said.
"Auntie, how can you count it like this!" Sun Chen's eyes couldn't help but get hot, Aunt Zhu was afraid that she would lose money in the end! "The money I made co-authored is my own, and I came to your stall when I lost money?! Will I be able to raise my head and be a man in the future? You say partnership, let's partner, lose money and make money, we are all together, do you think this is okay? ”
"If you don't agree, just think that I borrowed the five taels of silver, and even if I lose it all in the future, I can only pay it myself." Afraid that she would object, Sun Chen deliberately added another sentence.
"Okay, okay, just do as you say, let's work together!" Aunt Zhu smiled.
"That's pretty much it." Sun Chen also laughed. Although this transaction is said to not make a lot of money, it can lose money, but it will not be.
There is a reason why he is so confident.
Their method of preventing frostbite on their hands here is very simple and rude, which is to sew a piece of the sleeve of the cotton coat they wear in winter. Because it is inevitable that you will encounter dirt when working, if the whole sleeve is long and it is very inconvenient to disassemble and wash, it is easy to sew a section.
It's easier when you're not working, cross your hands into the other sleeve, huddle together, and it's warm!
It's just that this action is very indecent, and some people who think they still have some face and some tutors disdain to let themselves and their children do this, especially those who read.
