Chapter 18 Finding a way to make money

Qiao Yan looked at the fried meat in the pot and swallowed her saliva and said, "Childe, this fried meat smells so good." ”

Jing Yi said: "The lard fried from this fat pork can be used for stir-frying in the future." Qiao Yan, you have to learn cooking skills, and you will cook at home in the future. ”

Qiao Hong said: "Little sister, you have to follow along. How can you let your son cook, you will have to take over the work in the kitchen in the future. When you learn to cook with Childe, you can't let Childe into the kitchen anymore. ”

Qiao Yan nodded, "I must study hard with my son." After that, the work in the kitchen will be left to me. ”

The fried lard Jingyi put it in a clay pot, and took out the oil residue and put it in a bowl for later use.

Jing Yi dug a few bowls of noodles and began to make noodles, "Today I will make you trap cakes to eat." Qiao Yan learned. ”

Today they got some wild vegetables from the field, and the three of them washed the wild vegetables, blanched them in boiling water, and then chopped them for later use.

Fortunately, there are already green onions in this world, which are indispensable for cooking. Jing Yi cut some chopped green onions, stirred the chopped wild vegetables and oil residue together, and put the chopped green onions, some lard and salt on it. I don't want to put any other seasonings.

Then Jingyi kneaded the mixed noodles into a dough mixture, rolled out a dough into a dough sheet, wrapped the mixed filling into a dough cake, and put it in the pot to burn.

The pan has just finished frying with oil residue, and it is also stained with a lot of oil, which is just right for baking pies.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to burn a low fire, and soon baked a pie that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The big iron pot is big enough to bake several pies in one pot. After the first pot of pies comes out of the pan, they are placed on a plate, and then the second pot is baked.

Liu Shi also smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen, "What are you doing so fragrant?" ”

Jing Yi saw her mother and smiled: "Mother, we are making pies, we can eat them in a while." ”

Soon the pie was baked, and Jing Yi made another wild vegetable egg soup.

There are not many types of vegetables in this world, and it may be that they have not yet been discovered, but there are many wild vegetables that can be eaten. What's more, Jingyi is a wood-based powerhouse, and she can judge whether the plant is poisonous or not, and whether it can be eaten.

Soon Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to bring the pies and soup to the table in the main house, and then also gave some pies and soup to the brothers and sisters for them to go back to their rooms to eat.

After all, the Qiao Hong brothers and sisters were the servants she bought, and it was not appropriate to eat at the same table with them.

The Qiao Hong brothers and sisters were very moved when they saw that their son-in-law gave them the same meals as their master, and they felt that they had done the right thing by choosing to sell themselves to their son, otherwise where would they find such a good master?

Qiao Hong looked at his sister's fragrant food and said, "Yan'er, you have to learn cooking skills and take over the work in the kitchen from your son as soon as possible." Childe, a male host, where can he go into the kitchen to cook. In the future, we must be diligent in family affairs, and don't live up to the kindness of our son. It's a great blessing that we met such a good host. ”

Qiao Yan said: "Brother, I understand that if we are subordinates, we should keep our duties as subordinates. We are lucky that our brother and sister can be together, and the son and Mrs. are so good to us. ”

Jing Yi and her mother sat at the table in the main room, and Jing Yi put a pie in her mother's bowl, "Mother, try the pie I made." ”

Liu looked at the pie in the bowl and said, "I really haven't eaten it like this before, it looks very good." ”

She tasted it even better and nodded in surprise, "Well, it tastes really good, it's delicious." ”

Jing Yi served another bowl of egg soup to her mother, "Mother, let's build a house and buy things at home, it costs a lot, I don't have much silver in my hand, I want to go to the town or county seat to see what makes a living." It's autumn now, and we have to buy winter clothes and thick quilts before it gets cold. Firewood and charcoal also had to be prepared. ”

Liu nodded, "What you said is that this cotton coat and quilt are not cheap. You go to the county seat to see and buy some needlework and cloth for your mother, and your mother can do embroidery work to sell. The four of us in the family can't sit and eat empty. ”

After eating a delicious dinner, Jing Yi felt relieved when she lay on a comfortable bed at night. At least there is no danger of being hunted down here.

Had a good night's sleep, Jing Yi got up early in the morning and went out for a run in a short dress. When she came back, Qiao Yan had already boiled hot water and made a simple breakfast.

Jing Yi took a shower in the bathroom and then had breakfast with her mother.

During this time, because Jing Yi has been combing and refining his body with his abilities, not only has his physical fitness been greatly improved, but his height has also grown a lot. Now Jingyi is already 1.65 meters tall. This is considered high among ancient women.

After breakfast, Jing Yi cleaned up and said, "Mother, I'll go to the town today to have a look, and let Qiao Hong's brothers and sisters accompany you." ”

Liu said: "Let's let Qiao Hong go with you, if there is anything on the way, it is good to take care of it, we will close the door at home." ”

Jing Yi thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let Qiao Hong follow me to meet the world and familiarize myself with the surrounding situation." ”

Jing Yi took Qiao Hong out of the door and walked to the town.

During this time, she traveled back and forth between Yunxi Village and Huidong Town, and she was already familiar with the road between them.

The two of them walked for more than half an hour before they arrived in town. Jing Yi thought that she must buy a carriage in the future, she didn't want to walk back and forth.

When she arrived in the town, Jing Yi first inquired with people and found the only show shop in the town, and then Jing Yi bought some needlework and fabrics for her mother.

She didn't expect her mother to do embroidery to earn money, but hoped that her mother would have something to do so that she wouldn't be bored every day.

There is only one main street in Huidong Town, and there is a restaurant on the street, with medical centers, grocery stores, grain stores and other shops. Although the town is not too prosperous, it is not too prosperous.

Jing Yi went to the hospital and asked, and the hospital not only sold medicine to people, but also collected herbs. Jing Yi also asked about the approximate purchase price of some herbs, and she had a number in her heart.

Although herbs are more expensive, Jing Yi doesn't know if there are many herbs in the mountains nearby, and selling herbs is not a long-term solution.

Jing Yi knew more about Huidong Town, and she hired a carriage to take Qiao Hong to the county seat. After all, the county seat is larger, and there should be more ways to make money.

From Huidong Town to Hui'an County, even if the official road is taken, Jingyi is bumpy enough, this ancient carriage is wooden wheels, there is no shock-absorbing equipment, walking on the road can break people's bones.

Finally entered the county seat, Jingyi got out of the carriage and moved for a while before getting better.

She didn't go anywhere else, and took Qiao Hong directly into the largest restaurant in the county. In this era, there was a shortage of food, and she wanted to see what was good in this place. Maybe in the future, she can cooperate with the restaurant or sell some recipes to make some money.

It takes too much energy to open a restaurant on her own, and now she has no plans to do so, she wants to earn some money to buy some fields and grow some food and cash crops.
