Leaving the area where Liu Bansanhu lived temporarily, Gu Nuannuan was a little glad that they had only been in this town for two days, because out of caution, they had been inquiring about people in this town who could not be provoked, and she was the first person they picked to rob yesterday. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise if these three people have already committed too many incidents in this area, it is really inappropriate for her to use them clearly.

Returning to the shop in the town, Gu Nuannuan bought some things that were not bought for the time being because they were not good yesterday, and by the way, they bought some rice and flour, and then went to the restaurant to buy two roast ducks and a few meat buns, and then went back.

All the way, she nibbled on buns to satisfy her hunger, and her mind was carefully thinking about how to go down.

Since yesterday when she decided to take the three tigers, she had never planned to take them back to the village, for the simple reason that it was not suitable.

Anyway, if a woman whose husband was away all the year round suddenly bought three male servants and brought them back to the village, she didn't have to think about it to know what kind of sensation it would cause. Rumors were fiercer than tigers, and she didn't want to try to be drowned out by the kind of rumors that would obviously kill people. But it wasn't okay to let them stay alone in the town. So yesterday when she decided to ask them to sign the deed of sale, she actually had a faint idea.

Later, after she learned that the three of them had more than five hundred taels of silver, this idea became clearer. She decided to open her own pastry shop in the town, so it was imperative to buy a house in the town, with a shop in front and a house in the back.

She didn't plan to take Haoyang to live in the town by herself. Her idea is that the shop in the town will directly hire Aunt Li's family to run it, and then share it with them in addition to the monthly money, I think they will be willing, right? And when the three tigers live in the town, they don't have to worry about the ruffians in the town coming to the door to make trouble.

When she got home, Gu Nuannuan knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door, but it was not Luo Haoyang but Aunt Li, she was not too surprised that Aunt Li was still here, but she just smiled and asked, "Auntie, where is Haoyang?" ”

"Falling asleep with Pebble in the room." Aunt Li helped Gu Nuannuan take the rice bag in her hand and checked it, "Yo, what did you buy like this?" ”

"It's white rice."

"A whole bag of white rice?" Aunt Li was obviously surprised for a moment, and then said angrily, "If you want to buy this white rice, why do you have to bring it all the way back from the town?" This thing is available in every household in our village, and if you want to buy it cheaper than in the grain store in the town, you will not be like them, and you will mix sand into it. ”

"yes, how did I forget that? The main reason was that when I saw them, I suddenly remembered that they could make rice cakes, so I really didn't think to go back to our village to buy them. Gu Nuannuan was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly she said, when she went to the town in the past two days, she saw that there were rice fields in the village, and every household naturally had rice when there were rice fields. She's really reluctant to go far.

"Alas, it's no wonder you, it's your father-in-law and mother-in-law who are too unkind, obviously their family is thinking about asking you to contribute when they are plowing, but when the harvest is over, they always give you two a little bit of miscellaneous grains to deal with, hum, don't really believe what they say about selling all the rice, in fact, although this big white rice is expensive, who won't leave a few buckets and a stone for themselves to put on the New Year's holidays or when there are guests to entertain guests, or sometimes eat a meal? Speaking of today's Son of Heaven, he is kind, he didn't pay too heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and he has had a good life in these years, and finally we can afford to eat the big white rice with mud legs occasionally. ”

Is this rice expensive? If you convert it, it is estimated that it is cheaper than modern rice, but why is it precious?

Gu Nuannuan instinctively disagreed for a while, and then remembered that the productivity in ancient times was low, I am afraid that the yield of rice is far less high than that of modern times, and the per capita income, especially the income of farmers, is not to mention that it is not comparable with modern times...... Thinking like this, she sighed in her heart, Aunt Li was right to say that this rice is expensive.

She turned her mind around, remembering the idea she had thought about before to make rice cakes and sell them as civilian food, and suddenly hesitated. It seems that I take it for granted that rice is cheap. The consumption power of the ancient common people is obviously different from that of modern people, and even rice is expensive in the eyes of the peasant family, and they can only eat it occasionally, so can they really accept the rice cake that is bound to be more expensive than white rice? Don't make rice cakes when the common people can't afford them, and the rich and noble people can't look down on them, and they will be unsalable.

Maybe she can design a few unique molds, so that the same rice cake can be made into different shapes, and there will be a difference between the simple and rough lump and the delicate price......

Just as she was thinking wildly, Gu Nuannuan heard Aunt Li asking curiously over there: "Nuan Nuan, what rice cake did you just say, can this big white rice also be used as pastries?" ”

"Yes." Gu Nuannuan nodded back to her senses, she looked at the sky outside, it was one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was completely too late to make rice cakes at this time, so she said to Aunt Li, "Auntie, this rice cake is actually easy to make, why don't you give me a hand, we will make it now, just in time for us to eat it at night." Well, I also bought roast duck, so I just stew a pot of dry rice at night and add two green vegetables, you call Uncle Xu and they all come over, and our two families will have a meal together, and I also have something to discuss with you. ”

Gu Nuannuan remembered that the roast duck she bought was originally intended to be given to the Xu family, so it was better to take it out at night and eat it together.

"Here, you don't need to eat together, you still keep the roast duck for Haoyang to eat, his body bones should be mended. It's not easy for you to think about us because you don't have anything. The two families are not outsiders, so what do you need to discuss? You just say it, no matter what it is, we will do our best to do what is easy and difficult to do. ”

Aunt Li shook her head as soon as she heard Gu Nuannuan's words, and looked at her blamefully, "You, it's not good if you have too few eyes." There is also this rice cake, which can be heirlooms. If you have a daughter, as long as you teach her to learn this skill, you will marry someone in the future, even if you don't have a husband for a copper plate, your family will definitely not dare to underestimate her. You say, how good is this aunt watching from the side? Anyway, it's not bad for half a day, let's not be in a hurry, it's better to wait for your aunt's house to go to your own home and slowly get it, and just send some to your aunt's family to taste it. ”
