Chapter 3: Rush to the market
The other two children were silent, but they kept swallowing.
Xu Chunhua looked at the kind face with a twisted expression, and glared at the eldest son and daughter: "It's useless!" Is the starving ghost reincarnated, I don't know how dirty the food made next door is, and I will have a rotten stomach and a rotten mouth when I eat it! ”
Then he changed his doting expression and looked at his little son and said, "Hubao is waiting, my mother will boil eggs for you to eat, the eggs are fragrant, ah!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Zheng Xiaoyue's house also smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, and the male owner Wang Dazhuang took a deep breath and said in surprise: "This is a cook next door?" ”
"What a cook! It's a miserable little lady, but this craft is really good, I have to ask her how to do it, I only saw her buy some cabbage and pork yesterday, it was so fragrant. After Zheng Xiaoyue glanced at her husband, she also wanted to know what Jiang Huaiyu was cooking.
Just like Jiang Huaiyu's dream, although the people here are not poor, they are very lacking in material and spiritual enjoyment.
Just simply use the aroma of lard residue to match the plain cabbage, but they can't think of it, but simply treat the lard residue as a meat dish, and eat it dry and hot alone, no matter how greasy it is, it will choke hard.
After feeding her son, Jiang Huaiyu finally ate hot dishes, and after a full meal, she cleaned up and began to coax the sugar packet to sleep.
It wasn't until the sugar bag fell asleep with his thumb that Jiang Huaiyu walked into the courtyard and used a hoe to reclaim a vegetable field next to the chicken pen, which is not very big, no more than three meters wide and no more than five meters long.
After loosening the soil, Jiang Huaiyu cleaned up the chicken pen again, and while she was busy, she was thinking about what to use to earn the first pot of gold.
"I really envy the protagonist in the novel, just plagiarize two poems and you can be domineering and exposed." Jiang Huaiyu sighed.
Opening a teahouse, selling recipes, etc., all need to have a certain amount of economic accumulation, otherwise if you rashly find someone to cooperate, you will only be swallowed to the bone, Jiang Huaiyu knows that no matter what era and place, it is a husband who is not guilty, and he is guilty.
But maybe you can make handmade soap and bath beans?
Thinking of this, Jiang Huaiyu's eyes lit up, this is indeed a big business opportunity.
In the country of Dayun, even the powerful can only use spices to boil water in the luxury, and after washing the fragrance, it is not as good as the cleaning ability of pancreas and bath beans, and the location in the south and the humid climate make it easy for even the powerful to have lice on their heads, so they have to use a grate to comb day and night to comb away lice and dander, not to mention the mud that can rub one hand with a rub of the skin.
However, after a moment of excitement, Jiang Huaiyu dispelled this idea with some frustration, handmade soap needs to use lard, bath beans need to use a lot of medicinal materials and honey locusts, and handmade soap will mature for a period of time, in a short period of time, whether considering the cost or time, it is not suitable for Jiang Huaiyu's current situation.
"Forget it, let's go to the market and see it." After Jiang Huaiyu cleaned up the chicken pen, he felt sticky sweat, so he quickly fetched a few buckets of well water and wiped his body in the bedroom.
The cold well water dispelled the heat and stickiness, and felt the refreshment brought by the evaporation of water vapor around his body, Jiang Huaiyu secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must make bath beans and handmade soap!
I don't have these things in the shower and wash my hair, I always feel that I haven't washed it, and it's very uncomfortable, especially now that it's summer, and she sweats at every turn, and she doesn't want to be sloppy and covered in sloppy.
"Ahh
The sugar bag in the house woke up, screamed twice in a milky voice, Jiang Huaiyu hurriedly entered the house and picked him up, the little guy immediately smiled sweetly at Jiang Huaiyu, and the grape eyes were crooked, but Jiang Huaiyu was cute.
After teasing her son for a while, Jiang Huaiyu began to recall the ancient books she had read in her previous life over and over again, and she was afraid that if she stayed for a long time, the memory of her previous life would fade.
You must know that whether it is ancient books such as "Heavenly Creation", "Qi Min's Technique", "Suiyuan Food List" or "Xiangxian", the importance to her next life is too great to describe.
In this world where you don't even know how to make braised braised food, there are too many things that Jiang Huaiyu needs to sow and sprout.
In this way, Jiang Huaiyu, who had been busy for two days and had a clear understanding of the village, could finally go to the market with Zheng Xiaoyue and Xu Chunhua and other women.
Wangjia Village is a small village located at the foot of the mountain, only a hundred miles away from Shangjing, and more than 20 miles away is the county seat, so the villages near here are very familiar with the world.
The market is in the county seat, sitting on a donkey cart, today Jiang Huaiyu deliberately wiped her face with burnt grass and wood ash, her appearance is so outstanding, thinking of the professional bully who robbed the people's daughter, just in case, she still did a good job of covering up.
Because the sugar bag was young, Jiang Huaiyu still carried him behind him to the market.
Zheng Xiaoyue first asked her eldest son to sell the eggs she had saved during this time, and then asked her daughter to take the beaten dumplings to the cloth shop to exchange money, and finally pulled Jiang Huaiyu to the market.
Along the way, Zheng Xiaoyue commanded in a low voice: "Yu Niang, if you believe me, let me talk about it later, Liu Laosan's chicken cub is the strongest in this bazaar, but he is very treacherous, you speak honestly, he will definitely sell you half of your price with a mouth." ”
Jiang Huaiyu said with a smile: "I believe in my sister-in-law's personality, and I can rest assured that I have your help in bargaining." ”
Zheng Xiaoyue is not stupid, but she doesn't know why she feels that Jiang Huaiyu's praise is true, and she is very happy when she listens to it, and when she walks to Liu Laosan, who sells chickens, ducks and geese, she puts away her smile, recovers her snarky face, and cuts the price murderously.
not only sold six hens to Jiang Huaiyu at the price of eight cents a piece, but also pasted a small rooster and a cage containing chicken cubs.
Liu Laosan grabbed the chicken cubs into the cage, and complained with his teeth: "I said that the sister-in-law of the Wang family, you can't come back at this price anymore, it's a loss to me!" But it's also a blessing that Brother Zhuang can marry you, thanks to me, I still think about the capital, otherwise I will be given away by you for nothing! ”
"Look at what you said, in two days, my sister-in-law will introduce you to a yellow flower girl, I think you are loyal and honest, you will definitely succeed!" Zheng Xiaoyue successfully bargained, and also grinned and fooled a few words.
"Then little brother, I'm waiting for your good news, haha." Liu Laosan didn't take it to heart.
Walking back with the cage, Jiang Huaiyu was still amazed at Zheng Xiaoyue's extraordinary combat power just now, but in addition to buying chickens today, there was another purpose.
Jiang Huaiyu looked at the lively market in front of him, most of the stalls here were selling chickens, ducks, goose eggs, grains, fruits and vegetables, and some snacks, but they were all steamed cakes, small wontons and spring rolls, and if you wanted to eat better, you had to go to the restaurant.
As she was walking all the way and looking all the way, Jiang Huaiyu suddenly saw Xu Chunhua reprimanding her daughter.
The little girl cried so much that she couldn't breathe, and said, "Mother, can't we eat rice at home, we always eat beans and always love to fart, and others don't want to play with me!" ”
When Xu Chunhua heard this, she suddenly felt that the people around her were pointing at her, so she was so angry that she slapped her several times and scolded: "Who made you eat beans and drink cold water, eat indiscriminately to love farts, eat rice and eat rice!" Eat so much that you won't even be able to fight! ”
Jiang Huaiyu looked at the black lines all over her head, how to say that she was also a little girl, she didn't know how to go home and teach her well, and if she beat her like this in public, she lost face.
However, she didn't come forward to persuade her, looking at Xu Chunhua's posture, it seemed that she was inconsistent, and it was not easy to get along.
"Don't pay attention to her, this mother-in-law is really stupid, she always likes to beat and scold her two children outside, and only one of her younger sons is regarded as a treasure." Zheng Xiaoyue had a look of disdain in her eyes, and pulled Jiang Huaiyu to the side to go around to other places.
Jiang Huaiyu smiled and didn't say anything, but she subconsciously disliked this kind of eccentric and doting person, and then she remembered that the beans that caused Xu Chunhua to beat and scold her daughter were bags of soybeans.
Generally, people who are reluctant to eat rice will buy these beans and mix them in rice, although the taste is not good, but they can also fill the stomach, but the stomach is easy to bloate after eating.
Wait a minute! Jiang Huaiyu paused, grabbed Zheng Xiaoyue's hand, and didn't care that the other party was startled, and asked with suppressed excitement: "Sister-in-law, do you know where tofu is sold in this county?" ”
"Bean...... Rot? Zheng Xiaoyue looked dazed, she didn't even know what Jiang Huaiyu was talking about, she shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this thing, is it for food or use?" Uh, is it a person's name? ”
"Nope! Sister-in-law go, accompany me to buy two bags of tofu! Jiang Huaiyu was relieved.
There is no tofu here!
Also, the tofu she knows was invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, but if there is any Han Dynasty here, there is naturally no Liu An, and the dispute in the troubled times is less fantasizing about the prevalence of immortal alchemy, and naturally there is no precondition for the birth of tofu.
Beans can be bought for only three pennies to buy a big bag, most of the time they are used to feed livestock, the taste is not good, only poor people will steam and eat.
The more Jiang Huaiyu thought about it, the more excited she became, and hurriedly took Zheng Xiaoyue to buy two bags of soybeans, and lifted them on the donkey cart heavily.
Zheng Xiaoyue thought that Jiang Huaiyu was about to be in financial distress, so she was embarrassed for an afternoon, and finally pretended to be happy and bought two bags of beans to eat.
Alas, what a miserable man.
I didn't know that Zheng Xiaoyue had helped her make up a bunch of miserable life experiences again, Jiang Huaiyu sat on the rickety donkey cart, not caring about Xu Chunhua's eyes from time to time, but thinking about how to make money with tofu in her heart.
You know, not only can you make money by making tofu, but you can also make snacks sweet bean curd, salted bean curd, and by-products are yuba and dried beans.
This kind of thing is cheap in raw materials, she just deliberately avoided others to buy some gypsum in the medical hall, two bags of beans can order a large vat of tofu, if it is a penny and a bowl, it can also be sold for hundreds of yuan, and you can save a tael of silver in ten days!
Don't underestimate this tael of silver, not to mention far away, in this county, it can meet the needs of a family of four for a month or two.
