Shen Anan looked at the eldest brother and asked puzzledly: "Brother, why is this, it's not that I don't give it to others, it's just a two-day delay, why doesn't it work." ”

Knowing that his sister had never done business, and he didn't know why so many strange ideas suddenly popped up in her head, Shen Anting patiently explained to her carefully. "You haven't done business or dealt with people out there. The people here are all thieves, and if you want to take other people's things and don't pay, others will think you're cheating. Many of them only recognize money and not people. ”

"And they don't know if we have the ability to sell these medicines, in order to ensure that their silver is not lost, of course they think it is safer to take the silver."

Shen Anting said a word, and Shen Anan nodded, so he did get to the point.

Shen Anting breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This is not the most serious, what is serious is that if those people think that we are lying and bring people to make trouble?" ”

This last point is also the point that Shen Anan is most worried about. The so-called knowing people and knowing their faces but not their hearts, in case someone sees them collecting herbs to make money, making trouble in the middle, and indiscriminately encouraging others to do things, it is not impossible.

This business rule is actually no different from that in modern times.

One pressure comes from the farmers who will be working with them, and the other pressure is to prevent others from stumbling on them behind their backs.

Shen An'an is a transparent person, as soon as Shen Anting said it, she understood.

"Brother, I see what you mean. We must do this business, but at the beginning we can only do less to try the effect. If we are familiar with all the processes and make some money in our hands, and then slowly expand the scale, it is estimated that it will be a matter of course. ”

The expression on Shen An'an's face also recovered quickly, she figured it out, so she didn't have to worry.

"Hehe, you still use water to form this idiom, it seems that you have made a lot of progress recently." Shen Anting also looked very happy, his sister was so smart, he could understand as soon as he said it. Shen Anting felt that Shen Anan might really have a talent for doing business.

It turned out that Shen An'an, in order to cover up the fact that she had crossed over, had been shouting to read and write with Shen Anting since she was rescued from falling into the water. Shen Anting saw that she suddenly changed her personality and liked to read. He thought it was a good thing and taught her some words one day.

Later, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Shen An'an's literacy speed was very fast, and he could learn it almost once or twice. I thought that my sister had suddenly opened her mind, but I didn't know how much higher Shen An'an's knowledge was than I didn't know.

After hearing this, Shen An'an couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and said to Shen Anting: "Little sister, I can make such great progress, and it is also the credit of my eldest brother, little sister, I thank my brother here." ”

The brother and sister were talking happily, and at this time, the Cao family had already taken Xiaoshan to sleep and was about to coax him to sleep.

"What are you two talking about, talking so happily. Sister An, remember to cook dinner, let's stew meat tonight, let's open meat. Do you know how to roast meat? ”

"Mother, how do you burn the meat?" Shen An pretended not to burn meat and asked Cao.

"Just cut the meat into small pieces, cook it and put salt on it. This meat is fragrant, and there is a lot of fat, so it is delicious to cook. Cao thought that there would be a good meal in the evening, and just thinking about it made him feel like his saliva was about to fall.

After speaking, he didn't forget to advise: "You have to move quickly, and you will have to bring food to your father later." ”

Shen An'an saw Cao Shi turn around and go to the wing, and said in his mouth: "Mother, I know, I'll do it." ”

"Brother, I'll help you go back to your room to rest first." sent Shen Anting to the room to rest first, and then Shen Anan carried the piece of pork belly and the big pig's head to the kitchen.

According to Cao's statement, this meat is cooked like this and put a little salt, can it be delicious? If you want to make meat delicious, you need to have a lot of spices.

But the spices from where they lived.

Shen An'an remembered that she wanted to buy some spices on the street, but she didn't see anything, if Shen An'an remembered correctly, she remembered that next to their village, on the mountain, there was a forest. The forest was so dense that she remembered that there was an octagonal tree there.

It's just that the people here don't know that this star anise can not only be used as a spice, but also that this star anise tree is full of treasures.

"Why don't I give it a try? If it works, maybe it's another thing that can make money. Shen Anan muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then made up his mind to take a look.

Maybe she glanced at it last time and saw it wrong.

Shen Anan thought that what he saw might be the star anise, and his heart became hot. Then he shouted to the room on the east side of the wing. "Mother, I'll go out and pick a few handfuls of wild vegetables, and I'll be back in a while."

In the past few days, almost all of the wild vegetables that their family has eaten have been picked by Shen An'an outside, so when she said this, Cao immediately agreed.

"Go and come back quickly, it's getting dark this day, don't delay delivering food to your father."

Hearing that he was going to deliver food again, Shen An'an's good-looking little brows couldn't help frowning again. She really doesn't want to bring food to her father, what if she runs into that villain again?

When she thought of delivering food, something suddenly came to her mind. Who rescued her that day, and why she still can't remember what that person looked like.

Shen Anan thought as she walked, but she still didn't figure out what the person who saved her looked like. He looks like he's tall and good-looking.

According to his own memory, Shen Anan quickly found the place where an octagonal tree grew. Because the star anise itself has a faint fragrance, when you enter this forest, you will naturally smell this special fragrance clearly. There was no need for Shen An'an to look too deliberately for it, she found this place.

This mountain forest is very dense and very sunny, which must be the reason why this octagonal tree grows so well.

But now it's late autumn, because the peak season for picking star anise is in July and August every year, so now there is no need for Shen Anan to climb the tree to pick, there are a large number of ripe star anise on the ground.

Some star anise is ripe, and the bean clip naturally opens its small mouth, revealing the star anise seeds inside. Look at the familiar brownish-yellow star anise seeds. Shen An'an felt that he had discovered a new world.

According to the book, this star anise seed can be used to extract oil. Moreover, the anise tree and the leaves of the star anise tree are still the raw materials for making soap.

It's a pity that Shen Anan didn't learn chemistry well when she was in school, otherwise she would definitely know how this soap was made.
