Chapter 9 Making Money

"In this way, saltpeter also needs money to buy, I will give you a deposit, you let your man buy some saltpeter, as long as the skin is good, I will not treat Qiu San badly." The uncle in charge was also an anxious man, and directly took out twenty yuan, "These are enough to buy saltpeter, it's better to get it quickly, if you can pay it before the end of the month, I will add an extra fifty yuan to each one." ”

This is a lot of money, Erhua's face is red with excitement, and he can't wait to drive his man up the mountain to catch rabbits now.

Wei Jin glanced at the second sister, who was already so happy that she couldn't sit still, then took out a larger bowl, put a bowl of mixed meat and vegetables, and sent it to the table.

"Thank you uncle for taking care of my sister and brother-in-law, there are no good things in our family, even if the uncle eats, he will add it after eating."

"Little girl is clever." The uncle in charge of the Su family admires Wei Jin's coming to work very much, even if the value of this bowl of dishes is not high, but people think of their own good, and they also make face for themselves, this little girl is good!

Knowing that her sister was in a hurry, and she also understood that the Su family's steward was in a hurry, Wei Jin asked Erhua'er to go back to her brother-in-law first to talk about business, there were not many people on her side, and she and Sihua'er were enough.

"What kind of pot helmet is this, it's quite delicious." While they were talking, the others had already started eating.

The pot helmet looks mediocre, but when you eat it, it's not so bland. The dough is lightly salted and baked crispy, and it is very fragrant when chewed. Although there is not much seasoning in the cold salad, just the sauce vinegar and chili pepper with a little spice powder, it tastes just right. After eating a mouthful of dry food, I drank another sip of hot soup, and suddenly felt fragrant in my lips and teeth.

These caravan stewards are not people who have no money, they have traveled from south to north, and they have not eaten anything delicious. Although it is not as delicious as the mountains and seas, the unique delicacy of the north and south is not uncommon, but this pot helmet is the first time to eat it.

"Speaking of which, this is a bit similar to the meat sandwich bun in Chang'an, but I have eaten the meat sandwich bun, the bread is not as crispy as this, and it is sticky after soaking the broth, and the people who like it like it very much, but I just can't eat it." This pot helmet is just right with my appetite. ”

He finished eating a vegetarian meat in three or two times, and two bowls of soup followed his stomach, and the whole person was satisfied.

"Girl, can you take it?"

"Yes." Wei Jin raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Uncle is planning to take it back to make dinner?" ”

"What's the point?"

"If you eat it at night, I will mix the dishes first, put the cakes alone, and the uncle will add the hot dishes to the cakes at night, if it is a little longer, I will pack the seasoning with a small bamboo tube, and the cakes and vegetables will be packed separately. When the uncle eats, he has to find a way to pour the seasoning of the bamboo tube into the dish and mix it well. The main reason is that the weather is relatively large now, and it is easy to go rancid if it is mixed and stored for a short time. ”

"The little girl is very thoughtful." The other stewards chuckled under their breath.

"My house is in the city, so you separate the seasoning for me, and when I go back, I will let my daughter-in-law mix it for the child to taste."

"That's fine." Wei Jin collected the money, took out the oil paper prepared earlier, wrapped the cakes and vegetables separately, and then poured the seasoning into the bamboo tube prepared in advance, plugged it tightly with a wooden stopper, placed it vertically between the dough cake and the dish, and then wrapped it with a larger piece of paper, and wrapped the hemp rope on all sides, and carried it firmly in his hand.

Seeing that his companion packed a pot helmet, several other people who were close to him also packed a copy, and they all said that they would take it back to their families to taste. The others who didn't make their home here could only watch. They usually eat with the guys at night, and it is definitely not okay to only eat pot helmets.

"Little girl, how long can you keep this cake?"

"If the weather is like today, it can be stored for three days, and if it is colder, it can be stored for four or five days. If it's hot, it won't work, unless it's put in a ventilated and cool place, otherwise tomorrow it will be spoiled. ”

The questioner looked up at the weather and thought about it.

"Pack me twelve pot helmets and pack them in three. Tea boss, you still have dry braised pork here, if there is, cut it and fill me with two catties. Is it feasible for me to use braised pork to clamp the pot helmet? ”

Absolutely! Wei Jin and Uncle Lu, the owner of the tea shop, glanced at each other and were very happy. Each of them is busy putting the stewards in place. Wei Jin also mentioned that Uncle Lu wrapped a bag of fried and crushed chili powder separately, saying that it tasted excellent when dipped in meat. A group of them was lively for more than an hour, and after the goods were packed, the stewards added a pot helmet with meat to each of their subordinates. The price is not expensive, and it can be sold well, and by the way, it also helped this clever little girl sell it.

After sending the group away, Wei Jin and Sihua'er sat down to rest. The noodles prepared today are almost used, and there are not many people here in the evening, and they can't sell anything, so it's better to close the stall early.

The pot helmet stove was placed in the pantry, and Wei Jin and Sihua'er returned home with the unsold meat and dishes. That's all it takes to boil some gruel in the evening.

"Forty people, a total of sixty-five pot helmets were sold. Twenty-five for white noodles, twelve for vegetarian dishes, and the rest for meat dishes. Twenty-eight for meat dishes is 210 Wen, 40 Wen for vegetarian dishes, and 25 Wen for white noodles, a total of 275 Wen! ”

Although Sihua'er is illiterate, her head melon seeds are still very useful, and she silently counted them while she was doing it, and she wanted to know if she would lose money.

But what shocked her was that even if Sanhua'er sent so many out today, they still earned it. Not counting the stove money, flour, meat and vegetables and spices are a total of 150 yuan, and the rest is earned! I can earn 100 wen a day, and I won't be buried by money in a month?

"Silly girl." Hearing her broken thoughts, Wei Jin smiled and hit her, "Today's business is an accident, I met a nobleman." The uncle in charge of the Su family needed the second brother-in-law to help him get rabbit skins, so he helped us by the way. It's not every day that you have such a good business. ”

"The second brother-in-law's craftsmanship is so good? Even the steward of the Su family wants to look for him? ”

"Probably so. Those stewards have sharp eyes, maybe no one else has noticed the second brother-in-law's exquisite craftsmanship, and now, the second sister's family can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Although they did not deliberately deduct them when they were separated, the laws and rules of this dynasty were there, and the second brother-in-law only got a house and two acres of dry land when he set up another door, and the family provided them with a year's food, and then they had to figure out their own way.

It should be said that the brothers of the second brother-in-law's family, except for the eldest one, have almost the same share of the property, but the following two younger brothers have not yet started a family, and the things they have received are temporarily handed over to their father and mother for safekeeping, but the money they earn can be kept by themselves, and their father and mother will not prepare anything more for them.

"If it weren't for the sister-in-law of the second brother-in-law, they wouldn't have separated so early. Therefore, the old saying 'wife and family affairs are harmonious' is not unreasonable. ”

Wei Jin felt sorry for her when she thought of the two sisters who seemed to be comfortable but were actually a little embarrassed, even so, she was still worried about her three younger brothers and sisters, and the second brother-in-law did not complain at all, such a sister and brother-in-law were really what they could only meet in their previous life after burning high incense.

As the two were talking, they saw the second sister coming back happily with her nephew on her back.
