Chapter 16: The First Stall

Although Wei Xiaoniang is not very favored in the Sheng family, what she eats is still different.

Uncle Wei was touched: "It really feels different." It's not just because of the problem with this mutton soup, but it's really different in taste. ”

Shen Yanling also knew that of course there was something wrong with this taste, and she also had a trick.

Shen Yanling said with a smile: "Auntie, when I was at home, I read several books such as "The Book of Food", and there were many books that taught cooking. There are also some particularities about sticking cakes and the like. First of all, when mixing noodles, use hot water to live, a small amount many times, and it is best to add a little old noodles. Then, when you make noodles, you have to work in one direction, so that the noodles will be stronger......"

Shen Yanling told all the tricks he knew, of course, he learned from others in modern times.

Some of the books Shen Yanling said, some of which she had, and some of which she hadn't read.

It's just a pretext, and with Shen Yanling's identity, relatives won't question it.

Aunt Wei nodded: "I remember the trick you said." Next time I will too. ”

Li Wei asked, "Do you really remember?" ”

This is mutton, if they really take this as a livelihood, then it will not be good if they lose at that time.

To be honest, Li Wei is still a little trembling, which is scary.

I have been honest for most of my life, and if I want to do something big, I still don't know the bottom of my heart.

Don't be angry that it didn't work out, and put all your money into it. There are only a few thatched huts left in the family, and there are two acres of paddy fields.

But he's a big deal, so it's hard to say much.

Aunt Wei was still full of confidence, but when she heard her husband's words, she was also a little worried.

Shen Yanling hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, don't worry. When we came out, my mother promised us to stay here for two or three days. ”

Wei Xiaoniang frowned: "Although Madame promised us to stay for two or three days, we must always have some advances and retreats, and we can't delay." ”

Wei Xiaoniang is used to being cautious, although Wang Ruofu agreed to stay for two or three days, she still thinks it is better to go back as soon as possible.

Don't be caught, it's a careful life.

Shen Yanling thought for a while and said, "Then I'll watch my aunt do it again tomorrow, and we'll go back the day after tomorrow." ”

Then, Shen Yanling asked again: "Auntie, I don't know how much money it costs to rent a storefront in Yangzhou City?" ”

For the price of goods in this world, Shen Yanling is not very clear.

Aunt Wei was a little puzzled, but she still said: "An ordinary shop always costs three or five taels of silver a month." A good shop can't take down ten taels of silver. ”

Shen Yanling frowned, she didn't expect that the prices in Yangzhou would be so high.

But come to think of it, Yangzhou is a very prosperous city in this era.

Just like the Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in later generations, the price is naturally not comparable to other places.

It's just that in this way, her previous plan will be overturned.

Wei Xiaoniang said: "What? What are your thoughts? ”

Shen Yanling said: "I originally thought that we still have seven taels of silver, if it is enough." It is best for my aunt to take my uncle and uncle to rent a yard in Yangzhou City, make a shop in front of it, and sell mutton soup. If you have a yard in the back, you can still live. When the time comes, let's save some money and send Uncle Wei to the school. But now it seems that seven taels of silver is still not enough. ”

Hearing Shen Yanling's plan, Aunt Wei and the others all took a breath.

Aunt Wei waved her hand again and again: "I still don't want it, everything in Yangzhou City costs money, and even pouring a night incense costs money." We can't afford that. ”

Uncle Wei asked with concern, "Eldest sister, where did you get the seven taels of silver?" If you have money, take care of yourself and Minglan and Yunlan, and look at how thin these two nieces have become. ”

To be honest, Shen Yanling was a little moved.

But what the hell is skinny?

Sister, this is slim, okay? What do girls want to be so fat?

Well, Sheng Minglan still has some baby fat, and she seems to be a little bit herself.

After much discussion, it was finally decided to get a cart on which a small stove could be placed to heat the mutton soup at any time.

The preparations are done at home, and then pushed to Yangzhou City.

But that way, you spend more time on the road every day.

If only there was a carriage!

But when they came out, they were also from the Sheng family, and there was no way to give them to the Wei family.

In the end, Li Wei said: "To make a living, where is there anyone who does not endure hardship." What we can prepare, get ready the day before, let's get up early and hurry, and come back as soon as we sell out. ”

In the end, everyone still accepted Li Wei's statement.

There's no way, people are poor, there's no way to enjoy it.

If you have money, who is going to do this?

Shen Yanling felt in his heart that it would not work like this, he still had to get some silver and go to the city to buy a shop.

At the very least, rent one.

As for trying to find a way from the Sheng family, then I still don't want to.

There are only two people in the Sheng family who can figure out a way.

One is Sheng Changbai, this is the son-in-law. One is an old lady who has her own dowry in her hand, and the dowry is quite large.

The old lady has a lot of farm shops, but Shen Yanling didn't think of the idea of beating the old lady.

As for Sheng Changbai, forget it, he is too young and has no right to speak.

But when I think of the fruit trees on my manor, well, it's still too small, I'm afraid it won't be until next year.

As for ginseng, it only grows small seedlings, and there is no way to pick them.

There is no spiritual spring, in the manor, that is, there is no change of the four seasons, there is no need to hide, and it can grow all year round.

In other words, it can be equal to one year and four years.

"It's equivalent to a time ratio of one to four, which is not bad."

From the beginning of the afternoon, Li Wei took Uncle Wei to start preparing everywhere.

With the seven taels of silver brought by Wei Xiaoniang, it is still possible to buy a cart, plus a stove and chopsticks.

Speaking of which, you can also make your own dishes and chopsticks.

Uncle Wei went to the mountains to cut bamboo and came back, making some dishes and chopsticks by himself.

The polishing is very smooth, and it still looks very good.

The next day, Shen Yanling taught Aunt Wei to do it a few more times, and she prepared well.

On the morning of the third day, everyone got up early in the morning.

The carriage carried Wei Xiaoniang and several people, and Aunt Wei and Li Wei pushed the car.

Shen Yanling originally asked them to take turns to come up and rest, but Aunt Wei said that they would have to walk like this every day in the future, so they should not take the car.

By the time the sun came out, they had already reached the outside of Yangzhou.

The queue entered the city smoothly, and Aunt Wei didn't let Wei Xiaoniang help.

After all, there is still a coachman watching, and everyone is avoiding the coachman at this time.

For no other reason, just send the coachman out.

Who made everyone the master?

This, I still have to thank this feudal system.

Aunt Wei and the others found a place, put the cart away, a folding table and a few chairs, and began to set up the stall.
