Chapter 22: New Ideas for Making Money

Chi Yue put the dishes on a guest table, beckoned the family to eat, and ordered two side dishes, as well as porridge and rice, and had the right to have lunch here.

Although the Zhou family felt that it was too expensive for their peasant family to enjoy, in front of outsiders, it was inconvenient to stop Chi Yue.

Chi Hao and Chi Xiaoxue devoured it, and first used half of Chi Yue's dishes, and the other two plates of delicacies from the store that they had never eaten before, but they were still almost the same, but they were pulled by Chi Yue.

It took about half an hour, and the dinner table was finally swept away, leaving only half a plate of dried mushrooms, which Chi Yue forcibly snatched from the twin siblings and waited for the boss to taste them.

After a meal, several people were still fine, full of food and drink, but they were a lot more energetic.

The boss was settling the accounts while paying attention to this side, and finally, he called a junior and asked him to try the dish called "Dried Mushrooms" himself.

Although Xiao Er looked greedy, he still couldn't help but worry and didn't dare to agree.

"I'll come." A clear voice echoed through the hall, but it was a cook coming out of the kitchen in the backyard.

This cook is in his early forties, tall, burly and powerful, with sonorous steps, if he is not wearing the clothes of a cook, others would think that he is a practitioner.

Chi Yue raised an eyebrow. She was busy in the kitchen, and the chef paid the most attention to her cooking process, and she was eager to taste it.

"Boss Mo, just let the rest of the people taste it, why do you want to go out in person?" The boss was polite, obviously with great respect for the cook.

Boss Mo didn't answer, and couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and taste it.

On that rough face, the eyebrows stretched out after a while, and the deep and quiet eyes also brightened for a moment.

"Good taste!" Boss Mo admired from the bottom of his heart, and glanced at Chi Yue deeply, "I can't imagine that this mushroom is so mellow and delicious, I think it's because the world has been destroying the heavens!" ”

Seeing that Boss Mo was taking the lead, the boss finally mustered up the courage, stepped forward and tasted it, and praised it again and again, "Delicious, delicious!" ”

Everyone saw the shocking delicacy, and they all rushed to ask the boss to add dishes and taste it for themselves.

The boss was naturally happy in his heart, he looked at Chi Yue, and said boldly: "I want all the mushrooms, I don't know the price?" ”

As for the method of drying mushrooms, he didn't ask, because he believed that Boss Mo had already memorized the method.

"Ten pennies a pound, how?" Chi Yue knew that there were mushrooms in the mountain, and if the lion opened his mouth, it was not suitable, and if it was too little, it could not be rowed, so he took it moderately.

These two big bags of mushrooms are two hundred catties, and they can earn two copper coins.

"Okay." The boss readily agreed.

Chi Yue then said: "Boss, you don't know that this mushroom can be eaten, and you don't know that mushrooms can be grown, right?" ”

The boss was stunned, Chi Yue brought her too much shock, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Could it be that little girl, you can plant?"

"Nature." Chi Yueyun said lightly, "With my backing here, boss, you don't have to worry about running out of supplies, and you don't have to send people to dig out your heart and work hard to find and pick in the mountains, isn't it a thing once and for all?" ”

"Do you want to work with us for a long time?" The boss looked at Chi Yue thoughtfully.

This little girl has such a business acumen at a young age, which is not simple.

Chi Yue bowed, "If the boss refuses, let's go to the next family to discuss." ”

The boss is so shrewd, where is he willing to let go of such a good business opportunity? He knows that although there are mushrooms in the mountains, there are many kinds of mushrooms, who knows which one is poisonous and which one is not? But if you find the wrong one, the consequences are unimaginable.

And as Chi Yue said, mushroom picking requires a lot of labor, and it is really not as convenient as having a stable supply of goods.

The boss glanced at Boss Mo and saw that he had no objection, so he said, "Okay, I promise to cooperate with you." ”

"I wonder if you have any other dishes, girl?" Boss Mo was obsessed with vegetables and couldn't help asking.

Chi Yue said generously: "Naturally, I don't mind passing on good things to partners who are willing to make a fortune with us." ”

The ease of the words made several people laugh at each other.

Not only the boss and Boss Mo, but also the person sitting upstairs also had deep eyes and stared at Chi Yue thoughtfully.

Boss Mo used to be a well-known imperial chef in the capital, and the natural residence has always been supported by his name, so that it can be famous throughout the county, and even people in the provincial capital have come to visit.

This little girl has been praised by him personally, which should not be underestimated.

From the simplest stir-fried meat with mushrooms, to braised mushrooms, salt-and-pepper mushrooms, stewed mushrooms with chicken, to tomato shrimp and mushroom noodles, Iketsuki has contributed mushroom-related dishes that he has eaten in modern times without hesitation.

The boss here is surnamed Meng, and when Boss Meng saw Chi Yue being so honest, he trusted her more and more.

Boss Mo smiled even more boldly: "I wonder if Miss Chi is interested in coming to us to be a chef?" I can give up the position of head chef. ”

Chi Yue raised her thin eyebrows and said playfully: "This pot is too big, I can't lift it." ”

The euphemistic refusal made the air feel relaxed and burst into laughter.

Everyone saw that Boss Mo, who had always been serious, was talking and laughing with a little girl, and they all sighed.

Chi Yue and the others left the natural residence, which was sent by Boss Meng and Boss Mo together, and the courtesy was staggering.

At the end of the day, they got nearly six taels of silver, and there were countless sources of silver money after that, and Zhou only felt that it was like in a dream, which was too unreal.

Passing by a ready-to-wear shop, Chi Yue grabbed a few people, "Mother, how about we go in and see?" Now that we have the money, it's time for the family to get new clothes. ”

Zhou glanced at the patched and shabby clothes on everyone's body and nodded in agreement.

Entering inside, she first selected a few sets of clothes for the twin siblings, Chi Yue selected two more for Zhou, and then Chi Xin, she asked Chi Xin to choose by herself.

After all, Chi Xin is a big girl, and she should be the master for herself.

Chi Xin said embarrassedly: "I still don't need it, I have a lot of clothes, and I wear them all." It's not easy to make money, so it's better to save some money. ”

"You have a lot of clothes, but what one is not left over from someone else's clothes? The patches have been patched several times! Seeing that Chi Xin was a big girl, so she didn't know how to think about herself, and she didn't dare to show her thoughts about dressing up, Chi Yue only felt angry, "You don't pick, I'll help you pick it!" ”

She picked out a goose yellow gauze skirt and put it in front of Chi Xin to compete, and was immediately denied by Chi Xin, "I'm a peasant girl, where can I dress like a lady?" Yue'er, don't make fun of me, it's a joke if you wear it out! ”

"Sister, anyone can wear this dress, who stipulates that only everyone can wear it? The daughter of the head of our village, the fat girl, didn't she also wear such a dress to show off everywhere, who didn't see her and be greedy? Chi Yue wanted to buy this one for her, "You are wearing it for the first time, and you will get used to wearing it." ”

Chi Xin insisted on refusing to ask for it.

Zhou came over and said to Chi Yue: "I think it's better to buy your sister an ordinary shirt, such good material is really not suitable for her." ”

Seeing that Zhou said the same, Chi Yue only felt that these two women were hopeless, so she had no choice but to put her clothes back.

The poor are poor because of their thinking, and this modern wise saying is really good.

In the end, Chi Xin chose two ordinary fabric clothes, which already made her satisfied in her heart, and her eyebrows and eyes radiated brilliance.

Chi Yue originally wanted to buy herself two expensive and bright dresses, but in order not to be too different from Chi Xin, so that Chi Xin felt inferior, she had to choose two ordinary clothes.

Just as he was about to come out with a full load, Zhou grabbed Chi Yue.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Chi Yue looked at her inexplicably.

Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, and finally muttered: "Your grandparents, as well as your aunt, Chi Yuan, let's bring them back with a body?" ”

Seeing Chi Yue's hesitation, Zhou hurriedly added: "Otherwise, let them know that we bought new clothes, but didn't buy them for them, they might not be able to make trouble!" ”

Although Chi Yue was unwilling, it was inconvenient to disobey the Zhou family again, so she had to say: "Just bring one body to grandma, Qiao's and her son's husband, she won't choose it herself, why do you ask us to worry about it?" ”

The Zhou family had no choice but to compromise, obeyed Chi Yue, and only chose for Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi.

A few people bought two catties of meat, a few catties of vegetables and fruits, and decided to go back and make a good meal.

Chi Hao and Chi Xiaoxue ate rock sugar gourds, candied buns and other delicious things as they wished, not to mention how happy they were.

At Zhou's insistence, Chi Yue had to buy two more catties of meat and a few catties of melons and fruits, and go back to bring them to the old house.

After going back, Zhou took the things to the old mansion non-stop and handed them to Grandma Chi with a smile on his face.

Although Grandma Chi said that she was greedy, she deliberately put on a disgusted look, "Hmph, just buy such a little thing, why can't you eat when we are old?" ”

Zhou Shi smiled: "Didn't my daughter-in-law bring a month's worth of rice to my father?" If my father and mother still want to eat and use, I will inform my daughter-in-law again, and I will buy it again. ”

Grandma Chi snorted coldly, stopped talking, and didn't look at Zhou, so Zhou planned to go back.

Qiao Shi walked in, pulled it around, didn't see the clothes for him, and couldn't help but stop Zhou, "Brother and sister, you bought clothes for yourself and your parents, can't you also buy one for Yu'er?" Yu'er is also your nephew after all, this dear relative, how can you forget him? ”

"How can I forget her" is not easy to speak, but the stupid eyes are clear.

Zhou couldn't say anything, so he had to excuse himself: "Because the silver taels I brought are not enough, only enough to buy these, next time, next time!" ”

"Hmph, I don't think you want to buy it at all!" Qiao Shi scolded, "Yu'er has a cold-hearted aunt like you, it's better not to have it!" ”

Not wanting to argue with Qiao, Zhou bit his lip and turned around and walked out of the old mansion.

Out of the door of the old mansion, you can still hear Qiao's scolding voice, which is extremely ugly.

Zhou wiped the corners of his eyes, and there was no one to complain about his grievances.

After dinner, Chi Yue leaned next to Zhou, who was picking peanuts and contemplating, and told her his new idea.

"Mother, I think since we have a unique skill in boiling sugar, why don't we make it bigger?"

Zhou didn't know why, "How to make it big?" ”

"Open a workshop, recruit people, and make more sugar!" Chi Yue replied categorically.

This sentence made Zhou dumbfounded, and he looked at Chi Yue in disbelief.

She didn't even turn around with such thoughts!

"You said you opened a workshop?" Zhou's tongue was knotted, "But such a big thing, you...... Is it done? ”

"Mother, don't you trust your daughter?" Chi Yue pouted, pretending to be uncertain.

"No...... yes, her daughters have won the trust of many big people, what qualifications does she have as a peasant girl not to trust her?

"It's just...... Just ......"

Knowing Zhou's worries, Chi Yue smiled "poof", "Mother, look at it, I must open this sugar-boiling workshop and make it bigger!" ”

The firmness in those eyes is indestructible.
