Chapter 8 The imagination is very full, and the reality is very skinny

Because it was getting late, Chen Youyi took the silver and went back to the village, preparing to go to the county seat tomorrow after a night's rest. She wants to rent a house in the county town and do some early business, which is better than going to the mountains to find food every day in fear.

Thinking about things in her heart, Chen Youyi didn't sleep well all night, and just after dawn, she carried the clothes and baggage she packed last night and rushed to the county seat. Because he already had experience yesterday, Chen Youyi arrived at the county seat much earlier than yesterday when he arrived at the county seat.

She first walked around the county, and then asked someone to find the tooth man and explained to him that she wanted to rent a house.

The tooth man saw that she was dressed well, and at first he took her to some good houses with small courtyards. Although the environment is good, it is also expensive, and the rent for a month costs three or four hundred yuan.

Chen Youyi only had ten taels of silver borrowed from Qin Ziheng, and although he liked it very much, he could only euphemistically tell the tooth man that he wanted to see something else.

That tooth is not bad, seeing Chen Youyi's embarrassed face, he was not embarrassed, but smiled and led her to another house.

This house is a little far away from the market, but it is also secluded, but it is much more dilapidated than the ones I saw before, and it is nearly twice as small, there is only one main house and a small kitchen, but it will be enough if only Chen Youyi lives alone.

Seeing Chen Youyi's satisfied face, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This is a relative's house, and his grandson took him away after becoming an official, and this house has been idle." I see that the girl rents a house alone, this house is just right, the house is full of tables, chairs and benches, just pick up and pick up to live in, the girl does not have to pay a high rent, a hundred dollars a month, I don't know what the girl wants? ”

The tooth people have been with her for more than half an hour, and finally found a house that Chen Youyi is quite satisfied with in terms of location and rent, so she didn't hesitate much, nodded directly and said with a smile: "Then thank you little brother, I want this place." ”

Seeing that Chen Youyi was a cheerful person, and he didn't bargain or find fault with anything, the tooth man was also happy to do this business, and led Chen Youyi to sign a lease, and then gave the key to Chen Youyi, and the house was decided.

Chen Youyi returned to the newly rented house, listed the daily necessities that were missing and the things to buy for business, and then went to West Street to buy things.

By the time she ran back and forth to buy all the things she wanted to buy, it was already afternoon, and Chen Youyi went to the stall outside to eat a bowl of noodles casually, and then came back to clean up and make the bed.

This room has not been inhabited for a long time, and the dust is several layers thick, Chen Youyi wiped it inside and out, and after making the bed, she was so tired that she couldn't move at all.

Her whole body collapsed in the soft quilt, but her mind began to calculate how much money she had spent today.

100 wen for rent, 20 wen for dishes and chopsticks, 40 wen for bedding, and some 7788 things...... If you calculate it carefully, you will have spent nearly a tael of silver today.

Chen Youyi couldn't help but groan, is she spending too much money today, is this not good......

However, when she saw the newly renovated room and smelled the scent of cotton wool from the new bedding, Chen Youyi furrowed her brows again.

It doesn't matter, it's okay, she's improving her quality of life, money, it's still going to earn it back, isn't it? Thinking like this, Chen Youyi became excited again.

From today on, she will strive to be well-off in ancient times!

Because she was too tired, and she hadn't slept well in that thatched hut a few days ago, Chen Youyi thought about it and fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Youyi woke up early, and if she wanted to do business, she naturally had to think about what business to do first.

If you want to talk about those handicrafts, she doesn't know how to do them, but fortunately, she has always loved cooking, so she finally decided to sell them early.

In the morning, Chen Youyi walked around the city and found that there were only a few restaurants selling breakfast, and most of them were some nests and gruel.

Of course, there are also noodles for sale, but the cheapest bowl of noodles costs five cents, which is not something that ordinary workers are willing to eat.

Therefore, Chen Youyi thought about selling multigrain cakes, she also learned to do it when she was in an orphanage in her previous life, and there is a shortage of oil and salt in this era, as long as she puts the taste of oil and salt a little more, she should not worry about business.

Although we have already made up our minds about what we want to do, the stoves and various raw materials of this era are different from those of modern times.

Fortunately, the stove for spreading multigrain cakes is relatively simple, and after drawing the drawings, Chen Youyi found a blacksmith shop. In less than half a day, the blacksmith master had already made a pair of stoves according to Chen Youyi's request, but this stove cost half a tael of silver, which made her a little painful!

After making the stove, she went to the market to buy raw materials, and in this era there was no vegetable oil, only animal oil. The price of lard was quite expensive, and Chen Youyi didn't dare to buy more, so she only bought half of it.

All kinds of miscellaneous grains are cheap, but they add up to a tael of silver.

After returning to the hut, Chen Youyi found a broken wooden cart that had been placed in the yard, and when she rented the house before, she had already told the tooth man that this wooden cart could be lent to her for free.

The stove was fixed on a wooden cart, and half of the lard was refined and the lard was filled in a small clay pot.

The grains bought from the street are some coarse grains, and it is certainly unrealistic to use such particles to make cakes. Chen Youyi fried all these coarse particles, and then ground them into fine powder by hand with the nest.

After making these preparations, Chen Youyi really began to prepare to experiment with multigrain cakes!

First use some thatch, burn the charcoal bought from the market red, wait for the tin sheet on the stove to heat up, then brush with a layer of lard, and then quickly scoop a spoonful of multigrain paste on it, and then use a small wooden clipper to push it away as soon as possible......

The steps of baking multigrain cakes were clear in Chen Youyi's mind, and her fat white hands were also moving quickly......

"Ouch!" As soon as the lard was brushed up, Chen Youyi suddenly instinctively jumped away, looking at the flames on the iron plate of the pancake hula and rushing up, holding his burned hand, "Mom, I almost turned into roast pig's trotters!" ”

Fortunately, there was not much oil on the brush, and it was burned out quickly, looking at the burnt black iron plate, Chen Youyi only felt that she wanted to cry without tears.

Sure enough, the imagination is very plump, and the reality is very skinny!
