Chapter XXXVII. Preparation

"Whew, is that all it take?"

Smoothing out the last bit of mud, Da Zhuang looked at Sun Chen with a puzzled face, what is this strange big guy in front of him for?

But his face had already become wonderful because of the sweat and mud mixed together, and this expression made his expression look a little funny at this moment.

Because of the large amount of activity, his back will still hurt a little, and Sun Chen only moved his mouth to command today. So except for the fact that he touched a little mud on his hands because he needed to point out the correct position for Da Zhuang, his whole body was clean and fresh, and he didn't even sweat a little.

"Well, okay, it'll be ready to use when it's dry." Sun Chen looked at the finished product and nodded with satisfaction, he pursed his lips hard to keep himself from laughing, "You go wash first, let's eat again!" ”

"The pig in the pot should still be warm, let's eat it like this!" Wash the mud and sweat all over his body, and Da Zhuang begged lazy in front of Sun Chen.

After working all morning, digging and transporting soil, and smearing mud with mud, it was not so easy, he was going to die of exhaustion, and he tried not to move if he could.

Especially when he was just instructed by Ah Chen to smear mud into that big iron bucket, either the mud was too thick or too thin, or the iron bars were placed unevenly, and the height was different, so that his body was stiff and died.

"Well, the amaranth cake made by Aunt Zhu has been hot in the pot, and the little wood under it has not been cleaned, and everything is hot now." Sun Chen had just taken advantage of Da Zhuang's cleaning efforts to go to the kitchen, "You get things out of the pot and cut them, and we'll start eating." ”

If it was really cold, he would not agree to eat cold on such a day, especially the pig water containing a lot of meat oil, and he couldn't eat cold. If you lose your stomach because of this, you will be a little lazy, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Da Zhuang, who got permission, acted quickly, quickly put the two people's dishes and chopsticks in order, and pulled Sun Chen to sit down to eat.

"Ah Chen, you said that the second girl is not very old, why is the food so delicious? My mother's stewed meat can't compare to her! "Da Zhuang picked up a chopstick pork belly and chewed it, well~ It's really more fragrant the more you chew!

"Hehe, don't look at whose sister she is~" The sister was praised, Sun Chen felt honored, he threw a few pieces of pig lungs and a large intestine to Lao Bai, who had been wagging his tail next to the dinner table, and then picked up an egg stewed in it and peeled it off and tasted it carefully.

The eggs were washed and soaked in the soup, and with the pigs in the water, they had been marinated overnight and a morning, and now they became delicious from the inside out.

Different from the kind of braised eggs he used to buy in the supermarket, which were piled up with dozens of spice flavors, the unique flavor of eggs can be tasted better when eaten in this way.

Perhaps, this will also be a good small food business!

"Ah Chen, what do you think, silly and silly, don't hurry up and eat." Da Zhuang solved a large piece of pork liver, and was about to put down his chopsticks to pick something else, when he saw Sun Chen holding a braised egg there and smirking motionlessly.

"Hehe, of course I'm thinking about something beautiful~" Sun Chen came back to his senses and hurried to eat.

……

"Da Zhuang, I want to ask you something!" After eating and resting for a while, Sun Chen suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter? Just ask! "Da Zhuang patted his chest." As long as I know, I will not hide it from you! ”

"Do you know where we sell coal?" It occurred to him that something important had not yet been prepared—coal.

"Coals? Is it the kind of black thing that can be used to light a fire? Da Zhuang touched his head, he still heard Huang Xiucai in the village say that when he was rushing for the exam, he ran into a place where he didn't use firewood to burn a fire, and used that kind of black coal. I really don't know, but what is that for, you ask? Let's not say that there is no such thing here, even if it is sold, the price will not be low. ”

It's simply something that people like us can afford. Da Zhuang didn't say this, but Sun Chen could understand it.

At this time, Sun Chen suddenly recalled that when he was buying baked cakes in the town yesterday, he seemed to see the owner of the baked cake stall using charcoal.

"There's always charcoal, right?" That thing is better than coal, and if the raw material is a fresh fruit tree, the baked thing will be even more delicious.

"That thing seems to be made by yourself, isn't there wood everywhere in the mountains?" Da Zhuang gave him an idea, "The charcoal burned by Huzi's father is the best to use, and the ash is less and the fire is still used for a long time, if you want it, let's go to him for help." ”

"But Ah Chen, what do you want these things for? Does baked stuff sell? Although Ah Chen's big iron guy Da Zhuang didn't know what it was, he looked a little similar to the big pot stove at home, and now he asked himself again to inquire about the things used to make fires, could it be that this thing is used for food?!

"Well, you guessed it, I want to sell roasted sweet potatoes in town."

"Roasted sweet potatoes? Don't make a fuss, if you want to eat it, I'll be able to bake you a bunch right now. We can't find many people in town who don't bake sweet potatoes by themselves, right? Da Zhuang's reaction was similar to that of the second girl, and they all laughed at Sun Chen's whimsy, "Actually, you don't have to worry, your family's money should be enough for you now, and when you are healed, you can still continue to hunt in the mountains!" ”

"It's true that everyone can roast sweet potatoes, but I just want to sell this kind of thing that everyone can eat often." Sun Chen seemed confident.

"Maybe in the future, I will make more money selling roasted sweet potatoes than we used to earn when we went hunting in the mountains, and then you don't go hunting, I will lead you to the street to sell roasted sweet potatoes."

"You just brag about it, you."

"Where did I brag, Da Zhuang, don't believe what I said, how many rich people in our town are hunters? Except for those who entered the imperial examination, not all of them started in business. ”

"Then I'll wait for Boss Chen to take care of him in the future!"

"Hehe, don't worry, our relationship is so good, of course I will take care of you."

In fact, Sun Chen has such an expectation, which is not really whimsical.

Whether it is by farming or hunting in the mountains, Sun Chen will never be able to live the kind of leisurely and comfortable life of a rich man, and he may not be able to change it in the end.

It is unrealistic to expect him to change his fate through the imperial examination when he has a headache as soon as he reads, but it is different to do business, maybe he will not become a business tycoon who controls the lifeline of a country's economy, but if he wants to be rich and secure, he can still do it.

Moreover, the sweet potatoes they grow here are the kind of sweet potatoes that are very suitable for roasted sweet potatoes, with yellow skin and red flesh, moderate starch content, and they will not be choked and swallowed when they eat, sweet and soft, and they will not feel too watery.

Here, the kind of sweet potatoes that are stuffed into the hearth and roasted in every household will be scramble by the children in the family, especially the ones with less burnt parts.

If they have to taste the roasted sweet potatoes they have made, and then go back to eat their own roasted sweet potatoes, they will definitely not be able to eat them.

If such delicious things are not popular, then Sun Chen can only say that the mouths of these ancients are too tricky.
