Hu Liang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry too much, I'll go out with the village people to do odd jobs in a few days, and I'll go ...... when I hear that the brick kiln is recruiting."

"Don't go!" Widow Xie interrupted him without even thinking about it.

Since the loss of her husband and eldest son, Widow Xie no longer allowed her remaining two sons to do those dangerous jobs.

She was so scared that she couldn't afford another accident.

"Mother......" Hu Liang looked bitter.

In fact, the most worrying thing is that he has been delayed again and again in his marriage with the Cao family, and he originally wanted to save some money to propose marriage in the spring of next year, but now that he is in the soup again, how long can the girl wait for him?

"Aunt Xie, Brother Liangzi, I have a way to make money......

She wanted to help the Hu family get out of the predicament as soon as possible, so she told her the idea of selling dehydrated vegetables.

After hearing this, Widow Xie and Hu Liang looked at each other, both of them a little hesitant.

Ji Yu's heart is understandable that she wants to help them, but selling vegetables ...... Every household in the village basically has a vegetable garden, and there are all kinds of vegetables that cannot be eaten and thrown away, and it is impossible to make a few dollars to sell them in the town, and where are there vegetables to sell after winter.

Ji Yu knew that the reason why they thought this way was because they didn't know what dehydrated vegetables were, so she explained in detail the production methods and characteristics and advantages of dehydrated vegetables.

When they heard that dehydrated vegetables can be stored for a long time after they are done, they are fine in winter, and they can be eaten as soon as the boiling water is boiled, and they are the same as fresh vegetables, and the mother and son are excited.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, let's do it now, do a good job and let Liangzi and Dacheng pick the town to sell ......" Widow Xie said, getting up and about to go out.

Ji Yu was also used to saying that the wind was the rain, so she grabbed her and cried and laughed: "Aunt Xie, it's not time yet." ”

"So what's the time?"

"Wait until it's really cold."

No matter how well dehydrated vegetables are, they can't catch up with fresh vegetables that are picked and eaten.

Now is the time when the garden is about to be stopped, and everyone is afraid that the vegetables will rot in the ground, so they will go to the town to sell them, and the price is extremely cheap. At this time they go to sell dehydrated vegetables and do not have any advantages.

In some ways, dehydrated vegetables are actually the same as off-season vegetables, and the selling point is that "scarce is expensive".

In winter, everyone can only guard the cabbage and frozen radish in the cellar to gnaw, or when the pickled vegetables are served with sauce for three days, they will launch dehydrated vegetables, and they are not afraid that there will be no market at that time.

There are always more rich people in the town, the county guards the canal, and vegetables are not so urgent in winter, but the price is several times more than usual. Dehydrated vegetables can fill this gap.

When the snow covers the mountains and the canal freezes...... Aren't those rich people who can't buy fresh vegetables even if they have money to buy them also potential users?

Ji Yu described it, and Widow Xie and Hu Liang were stunned when they heard it.

"If it can really be done...... How much does that have to sell for? ”

"Hmm......" Ji Yu scratched her chin, "Naturally, we can't increase it by more than ten times, but we can't sell it at the original price, and we always need to multiply it several times." ”

Looking at Ji Yu's five fingers stretched out, Hu Liang felt that he was choking on saliva.

"Out of breath!" Widow Xie slapped him on the back, and she didn't even look at it, so she asked Ji Yu: "Then according to what you say, we have to wait a month to do it." ”

"No, selling naturally has to wait until the weather really cools down, but do it as soon as possible." This is also the key point that Ji Yu wants to say today, "We must rush the last stubble in the vegetable garden and make it into dehydrated vegetables, otherwise when the garden is cleared, we will have no raw materials, and no matter how good the idea is, it will be in vain." ”

Widow Xie was flustered by what she said, and finally found a way to make money, but she couldn't delay.

"There are still a lot of leftovers in our vegetable garden, I'll take Liangzi and them, I'll pick them up now......"

Ji Yu shook her head: "Those alone are far from enough. ”

Widow Xie thinks about it, and where her vegetable garden is bigger, she can't help but sell it a few times.

"What then?"

"Acquisition."

“…… You're saying we have to pay for other people's food first? ”

"That's right, taking advantage of the low price of Qingyuan, the more the better."

Hu Liang was a little difficult: "This is not a problem, but the cost ......"

If you haven't made money yet, you have to pay for it, and you don't know if you can make it in the end, which can't help but make people's hearts beat the drum.

Of course, the main problem is that there is no cost.

The Hu family was already poor, and they had to give their grandmother medicine from time to time, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that they are surrounded by four walls.

Although Ji Yu earned a lot of silver, she spent it on Dabao, and they all knew it.

Widow Xie didn't want to embarrass the two little ones, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'll go out and borrow and see the ...... later."

Borrow? Q: Who borrows? No matter how many people are willing to lend it to their homes, they are afraid that they will not be able to pay it back.

Hu conscience knows this in his heart, and Ji Yu also knows it.

"I'll figure it out when it comes to the cost."

When she sent Dabao to the Salesian Bureau before, she gave him one or two pieces of silver, and then gave half of it to the girl named Xiaoqu, and the remaining five yuan, plus the four and a half dollars she left before, barely enough for one tael.

Although one or two is a lot, if you want to make it bigger, it is far from enough.

All Ji Yu can think of is to buy as many as she can with these first, and then she will take advantage of this time to copy more books, and make up for it after making money.

Widow Xie refused to take out Ji Yu's money bag: "You have this little money left, don't keep your body, in case of a waste, what do you and Dabao eat and drink, and what do you expect?" ”

"Aunt Xie, you can put a hundred hearts, you will definitely not be wasted, I have already tried it. Besides, even if you lose, you are not afraid. Ji Yu touched Dabao's head, "I eat meat, and Dabao eats meat with me." I eat bran, and Dabao eats chaff with me. He's okay with that, right, Dabao? ”

A few people said that for a long time, Dabao was holding a puppet next to him, and he didn't say anything.

The puppet is the size of a palm, which Ji Yu sewed with her own hands when she had nothing to do, she had to say that it was a little lion named Simba, but Dacheng and the little sisters insisted that it was a soil dog, or a dead and ugly kind of earth dog.

Ji Yu doesn't have the same knowledge as children, but if you look closely, she really doesn't look like a lion, but it's too ...... to say that the earth dog No one has seen it anyway, and she says a lion is a lion.

Fortunately, Dabao is still very knowledgeable, and he holds the puppet every day, and the slingshot made by Dacheng for him has been beaten into the cold palace.

"Dabao, give my sister a face, give a response." Ji Yu smiled, with a look of ill will.

Dabao glanced up at her, lowered his eyelids to pull the tail of the little lion, and after a moment, nodded perfunctorily.

"Oops! Our Dabao is the most well-behaved! Ji Yu hugged his little head and kissed him.

Dabao raised his hand and rubbed the saliva on his face.

Seeing the two of them like this, Widow Xie is really a bit of a sister and brother.

And since leaving Dabao behind, Ji Yu has also begun to really take root and live. It's not like before, it's always like an adult, it's cold and unpopular, and it's distressing to watch.

"You raise Dabao well, and teach it well. Look at the flesh on this face......" Widow Xie bent down to pinch Dabao's face, but he avoided it sideways.

This child is still only close to Ji Yu.

Ji Yu smiled, although she knew that Dabao was not good like this, she still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he still relied on himself.

This interruption was far away, and Ji Yu was about to talk about the details of the acquisition, when Hu Dacheng suddenly panted and ran into the yard.

"Sister Xiaoyu, go and take a look! A visitor from the broken shack said he was looking for you! ”
