Chapter 126 Discussing Future Livelihood (Asking for Support, Collection, Tickets, Subscriptions)
Jian Muyou felt that he had no skills, and if he could learn to make vermicelli, he and his younger brother would not have to work for others.
"Okay, let's work as a family tonight, anyway, there are hundreds of catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes dug back, and there are still in the ground, if it can really be done, let's open a workshop, and we can buy agricultural products from the village or other villages."
Jian Fuyou also nodded and said, "I support myself to open a small workshop, it's better than going out to work for others." ”
The brothers looked at each other very tacitly, their brothers have grown up, it's time to become strong and give their sister a strong backing.
I can no longer only rely on my sister's monthly money to make a living, my sister has reached this age, she is going to get married, and they can buy a dowry for her sister if they can make money.
Before Meihua had time, she gave her father the clothes she had made in the afternoon to try them on.
Under the expectant gaze of the family, they quickly ate a full meal and began to prepare for a big job.
If a family wants to grind sweet potato flour or make French fries, they must wash the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Washing this thing in the yard on a cold night made everyone feel cold.
Jian Muyou and his younger brother did the washing and peeling work, and Grandpa Jane and Father Jane wrapped the grinding powder in the grinding disc.
The new daughter-in-law peels the potatoes and slices them into shreds.
Jane's mother and Meihua wrapped the ground powder, took a leaky sieve, and went through all the powder, and the fine powder appeared on the plate.
Every year in this place on August 15th, they will have a tool to make powder.
As long as the boiling water in the pot is boiled, the tool for making powder is held in your hand, and then the fine powder is poured into the tool, and the powder falls into the cauldron in strips, and it will become strips of powder.
The powder must be quickly scooped up in the pot and placed in a plate of cold water, which will become a strip of powder.
They are just trying today, and the noodles they make are only made into dozens of catties, and more than a dozen catties of sweet potatoes can be made into dozens of catties of flour, and they have calculated that this sweet potato is much cheaper than rice, and it may be sold at the same price as rice.
The whole family stood in the kitchen, at first it was the little girl who lit the fire, and then the little girl was replaced by the adult.
They all watched and felt that this sweet potato flour was similar to that of rice.
It's time to make fries again, and Meihua is making fried fries this time.
Every time the nun came back from the mountain, she would bring some fat and fry the fat of the pork, there would be fat and oil residue, and the nun would let her dig some potatoes and make french fries to eat.
There were no vegetables in the mountains, many times they were picking wild vegetables, and the nun didn't want to eat wild vegetables anymore, so she let the plum blossoms open a piece of land and let her grow some vegetables.
The fertilizer of the vegetables is, of course, the night incense that they pour every day.
Meihua is not an expert in growing vegetables, and every time he planted vegetables, he failed to have a good harvest.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes have long been dug up, and the nun asked the plum blossom to make various ways to eat, and the plum blossom was ready every time, but she couldn't eat enough with the young lady.
In the winter, they didn't grow any other vegetables, and they dug wild vegetables for almost half a month.
"Wow, it smells so good."
The little girl drooled when she saw the fries.
"This thing smells fragrant, it costs so much oil, and it has to be expensive to sell this thing, otherwise it won't cost so much oil!"
Grandma Jane was very distressed.
"Let's make this thing only with lard, let's only make a little bit and sell it in the teahouse!" Tea houses are a little more expensive. ”
Jian Muyou felt that no matter what, he had to try, and he had to try to know whether he succeeded or failed.
"I think what the eldest brother said is right, let's go to the teahouse to sell it tomorrow, the teahouse can't be sold, let's go to the market to sell, it will always be sold."
Jian Fuyou looked at their masterpiece tonight, very confident, he drooled at the food, economical and affordable.
"I think it's better to find a big family! There are more people in large households, and the food is more delicate, and the price is more affordable. ”
The new daughter-in-law is also a person from this place, and they only make a little food on August 15 every year, and they usually think that making noodles is a bit cumbersome, and they only cook once or twice a year.
"You go to the county seat tomorrow, let's find Steward Xie, Steward Xie is a little busier."
Meihua didn't feel that he had much credit, and this was the only way, they had no other relatives in the county, and they had no one to rely on.
The only choice is her young lady, and the only ones who can protect their young lady are Steward Xie and her sons.
She didn't want to use Steward Xie, she just wanted to help her family find some money-making work.
"Cheng, just listen to the big girl, let's take the vermicelli and fries to the county tomorrow, and the fresh sweet potatoes and potatoes will not be brought first, and the vermicelli and fries we sell can also be used for New Year's goods by the way."
If you can, you two brothers will be working in the city for a few days now, and you can make these things that only have a few dozen catties, and a few people in our family can do them. ”
Everyone else felt that Father Jian's opinion was good and nodded, only the new daughter-in-law and Meihua did not nod.
The new daughter-in-law really feels that she has just gotten married, and she doesn't want her husband to work so hard when she just got married.
Meihua had other ideas, and was silent for a while, but he still said to his family: "I think let's sell this thing first, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it may be easier to sell."
If you do too much, the family can't do it, or you don't do it, you have to do it well, not to mention that if the eldest brother and the second brother want to work, they can also do it after the New Year.
I listened to the young lady chatting, and the son of the Xie family was going to open a pharmacy and a medical center in the county town, and he was going to start building a house in the New Year. ”
"Well, the big girl is a good saying, now it's almost the end of the year, don't be in a hurry to go out to work, the big girl is by the master's side, and she hears a lot of secrets, if she says it, we can't say it to the outside."
Father Jian said to the big guy with a serious expression, although everyone is a family, his children also have to tell the new daughter-in-law who has just married to say a few words.
"Your father is right, let's chat at home, if we want to do this business, we must keep it a secret, so that others can learn, maybe we won't have a share of making money."
Grandma Jane was very worried that the family would be asked a few words outside and tell today's secret, not only that they would not be able to make money, but also that they would be punished by the master for causing the big girl.
The new daughter-in-law listened to the big guy, in fact, she also has a little selfishness in her heart, if the family makes money by doing this work, can she also take her mother's family?
I thought I would go home in a few days and tell my family, but now when I hear my in-laws say this, she can only bury her thoughts in her heart.
I think let's take a look at the situation first, if the people of the husband's family can make money, and then she blows the wind on the pillow, maybe she can bring her mother's family to make a fortune.
She also saw that the eldest sister-in-law seemed to be valued very much in this family, as if she was in a working home, and was valued by her young lady.
This sister-in-law looks honest and stupid, I didn't see that she was so capable!
Meihua slept in the same bed with her sister this night, looking at the tiled roof on top of the mosquito net, listening to her sister's breathing, and feeling that everything was beautiful.
This is the big house she has been looking forward to since she was a child, and this year she is looking forward to the night of the family reunion.
