It's not that Shemulin thinks vulgarly. In this world, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible.

What should be told to Xie Pu right now has already been told; The news that should be known to the officials has also been made known to them; Xie Jinkun didn't know when he would be able to return to Beijing; Wen Xuyou and his wife are helping the Xie family inquire about the news, and they have already contacted the Xie family...... It can be said that the old and weak women and children of the Xie family, in addition to sending things to Xie Pu from time to time to make him live a better life in prison, can only sit and wait for news. They couldn't help with anything else.

However, even if there is only a little thing that can be done, it will never work without money. It took less than a day for them to live in Li's house, and they made Li Lang and Sister Zhang Qiao spend so much money, and they don't know how much they will spend after that! Not to mention anything else, a few children can't do without money when they see the doctor taking medicine, not to mention Xie Pu's care in prison.

Xie Pu's case seems to be quite clear, but the Cao family is powerful, and they are intent on stirring up peace, and the case does not know how long it will drag on. The Xie family may have to be mentally prepared, and the current predicament will not end in a day or two.

They almost left the house, and even if they pawned all the jewelry worn by several female dependents, the silver they exchanged was very limited.

Because Wen took his daughter back to the courtyard with his fallen daughter, his clothes and hair were wet, and he went to the garden to beg the old lady after changing into an ordinary dress, and he did not wear it carefully, so the jewelry that could be taken out was limited, and some of them were still commemorative and not easy to give up.

As for Aunt Dajin and Wanqin, because they are concubines, they just wear some silver jewelry or jewelry that is not very valuable. Although the Cao family is conceited and virtuous, she never allows her concubines to dress richly, and makes other wives and grandmothers laugh at her for not being able to suppress the arrogance of the concubines.

And Mrs. Xie, she has some good things, but how can she be willing to take these things out and sell them in exchange for money to support a few juniors she doesn't like? Even if she really wants to pawn, she will keep the money in her own hands and keep it as a private house, right?

In this way, the idea of pawning valuables for money is by no means a long-term solution.

The Li family has that little family background, and it is impossible for the Xie family to really go bankrupt. Xie Jinkun and his wife are not in the capital, and it is impossible for them to borrow money from the main family, whether they are in the family or in the store. The Wen family's background - Judging from what I saw in the Wen family just now, it is estimated that they are just ordinary honest people, and everyone has already worked hard for the Xie family, and the Xie family has no reason to ask for more.

Therefore, they have to find a way to earn money as soon as possible, at least enough for the daily expenses of the Xie family's elderly, weak, women and children, and Xie Pu's expenses in prison.

Xie Mulin began to consider the resources that their group could currently have.

Except for a few children who are still sick, and Mrs. Xie, who is not giving birth, Wen's, Aunt Dajin and Wanqin are all doing a good job. Xie Yingrong should also be good in this regard, and Xie Yingzhen can be regarded as having a little skill, but he was transferred to Xie Mulin...... I'm just not very confident.

However, the technique of female celebrity is not high to a certain extent, and the amount of money that can be earned is also limited, and it takes a lot of time. Xie Mulin doesn't think that Wen and others have the ability to be professional embroiderers. However, Li Xianglang is in the area where the eunuchs live, selling needles, threads, brains, fat powder jewelry to make a living, maybe they can help Li Xianglang make some small things to sell ***, such as Luozi, handkerchiefs, sachets, purses, etc., can make a little money is a little money. It's a good way to go.

But the amount of money that can be made in this way is still minority.

Xie Mulin thought back to Xie Yingzhen's memory, it seems that things like fat powder and sesame oil, if the effect is good, can still be sold for money? Xie Yingzhen has seen Xie Yinghui's five taels of silver for a box of incense powder and two taels of silver for a tube of lipstick, all of which are produced by famous stores in Beijing.

The Xie family also has relevant private recipes, including the head oil recipe collected by the underlying industry, the noodle prescription left by the ancestors who don't know which ancestor, and the formula of the imperial product fat powder that the Cao family got from the palace. It is estimated that Wen and Wanqin both know about these recipes, and it is very likely that Aunt Dajin also knows some secret recipes for special industries. I just don't know if they're willing to leak it out?

After all, this kind of private unique fat powder formula has a strong representativeness, and almost everyone who comes and goes to it recognizes it. Once it spreads, it is easy for people to guess that it is produced by the Xie family. The Xie family, who has always been wealthy, has actually been reduced to selling fat powder to make a living, and the daughters of the Xie family should feel very embarrassed, right? Will the Cao family allow them to do such a thing and ruin her so-called virtuous name?

In addition, the fat powder sesame oil is something to be applied to the face and body, even if it is a traditional formula that has been used for many years, it does not mean that it can adapt to everyone's skin, in case there is any accident, there will be trouble. Li Shanglang is a good person, it is not easy to do business, if you smash his signboard, it will be so sorry for him.

In addition, Li Shanglang does not have his own store, so he can only carry the burden of selling goods, and most of the people who patronize him are maidens, even if someone loosens his hands, he can't afford to buy any palace formula fat powder at every turn. The cost of things is high, no one can afford it, and it is doomed to lose money; And the cost of things is not high, how good can the effect be? It's not like the big road goods, and the money comes too slowly.

Belch! So what kind of fat powder head oil is there? It's better to sell medicine directly!

Xie Mulin remembered the old books in his study space, there were commonly used prescriptions in the "Family Daily Encyclopedia", when she was a child, she was not feeling well, and she also saw her mother flipping through the books to check the prescription to help her treat her illness, which was quite effective. Among the health books that my mother collected, there should be a few reliable old recipes, right?

She had to find a time to go through these books, and if she could find a few good recipes, she could sell them to Yan Jitang. Yan Jitang has very few medicines, and the types of diseases that Dr. Yan and Li Liu'an are good at treating are also limited, if they can get a few old prescriptions that have been circulated for many years, they can also increase their accumulation and strength. It's a good thing to have both sides!

Xie Mulin even began to think, maybe his mother Wen also knew a few good prescriptions? After all, she is also a daughter-in-law who has been a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family for many years......

In addition to prescriptions, it seems that food prescriptions can also be sold? For example, the pastry shop in front of Li's house seems to be doing okay, but there are not many varieties. Xie Mulin has a baking book used by his mother when she was young, and she has also played baking with her cousin, and she has also learned the practice of northern noodles and pastries from her grandmother, and she has learned Chinese and Western pastries from her grandmother...... Even if you are a seller, you can sell many of them. If you don't sell your child, but make your own dim sum consignment, it's not impossible to think about it......

Wait for her to go back and read the book, and then ask Sister Zhang Qiao and Mrs. Li about the price of raw materials and calculate the cost.

When Xie Mulin returned to Beimen Bridge, his heart was full of ambition and he felt that he would definitely be able to make money. Even if it adds up, it can ensure the daily expenses of the family. A few wives and concubines of the Wen family, and then pawn some inconsequential jewelry and gorgeous clothes, it should be able to cope with the rest of the expenses......

However, her ambition was poured on her head after returning to the Li family.

Mrs. Xie gave her an order with a straight face: "Now that there is no money at home, many things cannot be done, so I can only ask relatives and friends for help." The second girl went to the Jiang family, you and the second young master of the Jiang family had a marriage contract in advance, why did their family have to lend us 1,800 taels of silver for turnover, so that it was the affection of the in-laws. ”

What? Engagement?!

Xie Mulin was a little confused. She subconsciously looked up and saw that the third sister Xie Yingrong was standing beside Mrs. Xie, and showed a meaningful smile at her.
