Chapter 397: Find a way to make money
When Zhao Qiujin heard Feng Lan say this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, they supported each other along the way, although they encountered a little trouble on the way, and even the hardships along the way made her about to collapse.
However, Feng Lan never gave up.
Zhao Qiujin couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, but she was also worried that she would drag Feng Lan down.
If Feng Lan really has any enemies in the capital of Qi State, what if she takes Feng Lan back and is accidentally discovered......
"Feng Lan, have you really thought about it, if you return to Qi Country with me, in case you encounter something bad at that time, and the situation on the Qi Country side is completely different from here, you have been in the mountains for more than thirty years, can you really adapt to the environment there?"
Feng Lan nodded, "Well, I believe that after I get there, if I don't know the environment and everything is unfamiliar, I'm sure you won't leave me, right?" ”
Zhao Qiujin heard Feng Lan say this, nodded, looked at him seriously, and then she said: "Yes, we are friends, so we will never give up on each other, just like you said, you will not betray me, I am really grateful to you for accompanying me down the mountain, if I am alone along the way, maybe, I would have fallen off the cliff a long time ago, maybe, I will not be able to go down the mountain alive, but, with you as a friend, I am really happy." ”
Feng Lan also smiled when she heard this.
The two of them only rested at the old man's house for three days to learn a little about the situation here, but they didn't have any money anymore.
The old man's family was already poor, and all the people around here were poor people, and if they wanted to hurry, they had to accumulate a little entanglement.
Zhao Qiujin really had no choice but to think about it and see if there was any way to make money.
But most of the people who work in the mountains are farmers, and the way they make money is nothing more than to work in the fields, but working in the fields, plowing in spring and planting in autumn, that is a matter of the four seasons of the year, and it is absolutely impossible to get silver in a short period of time.
Unless they help the peasants, but the peasants here are very good at their work, and they don't have much money to give to the outsiders.
Even if she is familiar with Zhao Qiujin now, the eldest mother has no way to help her, and the eldest mother's own life is also stretched, eating some simple corn paste every day, and life is very hard.
Feng Lan looked at Zhao Qiujin with a distressed expression, "Otherwise, I went up the mountain to hunt, and I caught those prey and sold them." ”
Zhao Qiujin thought about it and nodded, there is only this for now, but she can't rely on Feng Lan alone, Feng Lan goes up the mountain to hunt alone, it is already very dangerous, and she doesn't know how the harvest is.
She herself has to think of a way to see how to make money, Zhao Qiujin is a flexible brain, after all, he is a modern person in the 21st century, how could he be starved to death in this ancient world?
Soon she found out that the market was selling pastries, and the business was good, but the pastries they made were more traditional pastries, and they were not very tasty.
Zhao Qiujin thought to herself, she still has some skills, although she may not be good at learning, but she can also make something, so she asked the eldest mother: "Auntie, do you have rice batter, yam and pumpkin at home?" ”
Although the eldest lady didn't know what Zhao Qiujin wanted to do when she asked this, she still nodded, they were doing farm work in the field, these were originally things grown at home, how could there be none?
"Girl, if you want to say anything else, our family may not have it yet, but there are a lot of pumpkins, and there are also a lot of yams, and some of them have not been mined in the ground, and as for the rice batter, it may be a little more expensive, not very much."
Zhao Qiujin heard the eldest lady say this, and immediately replied: "Auntie, I have a way to earn silver, so let's make some silver here now, and then we will give you a part of the silver we earn, so that we can also improve the lives of you and the uncle, we need a little entanglement." ”
When the eldest lady heard Zhao Qiujin say this, she didn't understand what she wanted to do, what Zhao Qiujin was going to do was pumpkin pie and small shortbread.
"Auntie, I think the pumpkin pie you made for us that day tastes okay, but I can make some improvements to your original pumpkin pie, and if we make it even better, the next day, we can go to the market to sell pumpkin pie, and besides, I have a kind of cake here, called a shortbread."
When the eldest lady heard Zhao Qiujin say this, she nodded with a smile, although she didn't quite understand Zhao Qiujin's thoughts now, but they quickly made pumpkin pie and small shortbread.
The next day, before dawn in the morning, Zhao Qiujin took his eldest mother to the market together, and the hard-working Feng Lan had already gotten up and was ready to go up the mountain to hunt early.
"Feng Lan, why don't you wait a little longer, the injury on your foot is not completely healed, in case you accidentally get dirty and infected again, you should rest first and see how my little shortbread sells today."
Feng Lan shook her head and said, "It's okay, this injury is nothing at all, I've already gotten used to it." ”
He has lived in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and it is normal for him to be injured a little, but after meeting Zhao Qiujin, Zhao Qiujin said that if the injury on his foot is not treated well, he may be infected with tetanus, especially if he is scratched by metal, it is even more dangerous.
He had never known these before, but he did know one or two common herbs, because he lived in the mountains and did not have a doctor, so it was inevitable that he would not encounter some diseases and troubles, so it was normal to know the use of some common herbs.
Now that she has Zhao Qiujin as a friend, Feng Lan feels that in the peaceful and waveless days, there seems to be a sudden little more interesting thing.
Zhao Qiujin took the eldest lady to the market, everyone looked at their faces, and they didn't take it seriously, and soon, there were more and more people coming and going in the market, and the east was white, and it was dawn.
Zhao Qiujin was a little anxious, everyone was in a hurry to buy what they needed, but no one noticed the cakes she sold.
The lady next to her glanced at Zhao Qiujin, and she also looked embarrassed, she had never done business, she only occasionally came over to get eggs for a little oil, and she hadn't done anything else.
Zhao Qiujin thought about it, there was really no way, she took out one of the small plates and put a few pieces of bread in it, but she chopped all the cakes.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look, all of them are free to try, these free tastings, you eat them, if it's delicious, buy it, if it's not delicious, forget it."
Hearing that it was a free tasting and no silver was required, the people who came and went stopped and looked at Zhao Qiujin with a curious look.
They don't know what is going on with the bread seller, and can they eat it for free?
Obviously, everyone didn't believe what Zhao Qiujin said, and they were afraid that they would have to pay the silver after coming over and eating the cake.
Zhao Qiujin had no choice but to take the initiative to take a piece of cake and hand it to a passer-by next to her, she said: "You eat, it's okay, buy it if it's delicious, forget it if it's not delicious." ”
