Chapter 10 The Beginning of Making a Fortune

In the endless fields, the summer rice that has already set ears, under the breeze, is like a sea of yellow and green.

By the river at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yunxi came twice, once to wash clothes, and once to find Shen Pingping, but now her purpose is different.

Walking slowly along the river, Shen Yunxi saw a lot of wild ducks, and the people in the village often came to catch wild ducks, but the ducks had a strong smell, and the taste was not very good, plus the ducks swam very fast, and people who didn't know how to water would not dare to go down to the river to catch ducks.

A large duck flapped its wings violently, then buried its head in the water, and soon resurfaced with a small fish in its mouth.

The ducklings gathered around and wanted to eat the fish.

When Shen Yunxi saw this scene, she felt very warm, she suddenly remembered something, and casually brushed aside the grass on the shore, and was surprised to find that there were four wild duck eggs here!

She carefully touched the duck eggs and put them in her pocket.

Shen Yunxi sat by the river, thinking about the way forward.

Now in front of her are these wild ducks and duck eggs, there are a lot of wild ducks like this in the whole Hong County, and there are a lot of duck eggs, duck eggs can be made into salted duck eggs, this practice has been, but the practice of Songhua eggs has not been.

She opened the "Falling in Love with the Kitchen" APP and searched for the method of Songhua eggs, which is not difficult, but the production of preserved egg powder is more complicated.

If she bought ready-made preserved egg powder directly from the "Pumpkin" video APP, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Mu Chenglin's family, so if she wanted to make Songhua eggs, she could only mix the preserved egg powder herself, and this recipe could only be postponed.

She looked at the flocks of ducks and remembered how to eat ducks, ducks can be made into roast duck, sauce duck, plate duck, salted duck, etc., duck feathers can be made into down jackets, duck blood duck gizzards can be made into duck blood vermicelli, and duck neck, duck head, duck collarbone, etc. can be made into lo-mei.

But this requires a lot of investment, and the wild ducks will always be caught one day, and they need to be raised by themselves.

Shen Yunxi kept looking at the APP, she suddenly remembered the little wine left by the Mu family, so she thought of wine, she immediately searched for the method of winemaking, and the same as Songhua eggs, the method of winemaking is not difficult, but it needs koji.

However, she can prepare the koji ingredients in advance.

After turning over and over, Shen Yunxi still decided to take the road of soybeans, because there were too many soybeans, she decided to ask Xia Yifan for help, Mu Chenglin mentioned that Xia Yifan is a big businessman, and he must have a way to get soybeans.

The businessman is very profitable, as long as she gives him some sweetness, Xia Yifan can't be rich and not earn!

In addition to the wild ducks swimming on the surface of the river, there are also fish in the water, how can the fish be cooked and delicious?

Braised soy sauce is required, and soy sauce requires soybeans.

To steam, you need tempeh, and you need soybeans for tempeh.

Sauerkraut fish, you need chili, wine, and sauerkraut!

Then make sauerkraut first, Shen Yunxi checked the method of sauerkraut, the method is not difficult, the ingredients can be found, and it will be successful in about half a month.

The raw materials of sauerkraut can be mustard greens, cabbage, greens, and now in this season, you can buy cabbage greens in the village, as for mustard greens, if the sauerkraut sells well, you can release the wind, saying that it will be purchased in winter, so there will be a lot of people who grow mustard greens.

Thinking of acid, Shen Yunxi thought of edible vinegar again, she checked it, and the self-made method is not difficult, and it can be good in almost half a month.

After asking Xia Yifan to get soybeans, she began to sell tofu and tofu brain.

So decided, start with bean sprouts, sauerkraut, vinegar and tofu bean brain.

After deciding, Shen Yunxi patted the dust on his body, picked up four wild duck eggs, and prepared to go back to Mu's house.

Just a few steps away, Shen Yunxi heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw a little girl panting.

In the memory of the original owner, there is this little girl, her name is Yang Xiaomi, and she is one of the few good friends of the original owner in the village.

Yang Xiaomi is thirteen years old this year, one year older than the original owner, and her family conditions are not very good, so she often comes out to work. Yang Xiaomi's personality is relatively straightforward and enthusiastic, and she often takes the original owner who is one year younger.

"Yunxi!" Yang Xiaomi held a package in his hand, and then looked Shen Yunxi up and down.

"A few days ago, my grandmother was not in good health, my father and mother took me and my brother to my grandmother's house, and I just came back today and listened to my uncle and second uncle talk about you! Yunxi, you're okay! ”

The worry in Yang Xiaomi's eyes was not pretending, she was really worried about Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi smiled, "Very good, much better than in the Shen family!" ”

Yang Xiaomi's eyes were less worried, "Show me your head, I heard that you have a big hole in your head!" ”

Yang Xiaomi was a little taller than Shen Yunxi, she looked at Shen Yunxi's head cautiously, "It's okay, it's scabbed." I heard that Mu Chenglin is good to you, so it's good, at least leave the Shen family's cannibalistic place! ”

Yang Xiaomi read while looking at Shen Yunxi's scar.

"What are you doing here?" She was very curious, what was Shen Yunxi doing by the river at noon?

Shen Yunxi showed the four wild duck eggs in his pocket, "Come out and go around!" ”

"Yunxi, don't run around, the water in the river is deep, it's summer, maybe there are snakes!" Yang Xiaomi was not excited because she saw the duck eggs, but cared about Shen Yunxi's safety.

"Not really! Grandma deceived Brother Mu of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, the Mu family is having a hard time now, I just came out to look around and see if I could find a way to make money! ”

Seeing that the little girl was in such a hurry, Shen Yunxi explained.

"Have you thought of a way to do that?"

Shen Yunxi nodded, "Start with a small business first, if it is successful, then make it bigger, and when that time comes, I will send you another recipe!" ”

Yang Xiaomi didn't take it to heart, but she still smiled happily, "Okay, Sister Xiaomi is waiting for Yunxi's recipe to make a fortune!" ”

After speaking, Yang Xiaomi stuffed the package in her arms into Shen Yunxi's arms, "I heard that your grandmother collected so much money, so she gave a few old clothes as a dowry, and here are a few clothes that I am too small, you wear them just right." ”

"The cake was just baked by my mother, enough for you to eat twice, and there are a few sugar cubes here, which Xiao Zhou saved, he has to let me bring it to Sister Yunxi!"

Shen Yunxi's eyes were a little red, Yang Xiaomi's two uncles were disabled, they had never married in their lives, and they didn't have much labor, the family was taken care of by Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, and the family only had enough food and clothing, but they still thought about her.

There are not many things and they are not expensive, but this love is the rarest!

"Alright, alright! You still have a wound on your head, hurry up and go back to rest! I went back, too, and I didn't come back for a few days, and Uncle made a lot of baskets, and I went to town and sold them! ”

After speaking, Yang Xiaomi turned around and went back.

Shen Yunxi returned to the Mu family with the package, and on the way she was thinking of a way to suit the life of the Yang family.

As soon as Shen Yunxi arrived home and put the package away, he saw that Mu Chenglin was not resting.

Shen Yunxi said the idea of making sauerkraut and vinegar.

Mu Chenglin doesn't know what sauerkraut and vinegar are, but as long as he can make money, he will support Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi said the ingredients needed for sauerkraut and vinegar, and Mu Chenglin took her to the town without saying a word.

Yesterday, because he had to go back to the door, the cloth that Mu Mu asked him to buy for Shen Yunxi had not been bought, but he just bought it today.

Lingyang town sells cloth on the family, so the price is not cheap, some people will go to the county seat before the New Year every year, the cloth to be used for a year to buy back.

Because there are many cloth shops and competition in the county, the price is much cheaper than that in the town.

Shen Yunxi didn't care much about the material of the clothes, because she had already inquired just now, if she really wanted to wear beautiful clothes, she didn't know how many sugar gourd recipes she would sell in a year.

So she chose an ordinary cotton fabric, and the amount of two clothes cost one or two pieces of silver.

Now she finally understands why all the clothes washed on the first day are patches, and why the Shen family's expenses are so big, because the Shen family, from adults to children, has new clothes every year, and only the original owner, a child without a mother, wears old clothes.

After buying the cloth, they went to buy a lot of sugar and salt, because last time Mu Chenglin bought ten catties of sugar in one go, the boss smiled when he saw Mu Chenglin!

"Boss, another ten catties of sugar and ten catties of salt!" As soon as he heard that there was big business, the wrinkles of the boss's smile deepened.

Ten catties of sugar are 600 wen, ten catties of salt are 300 wen, a total of 900 wen.

Shen Yunxi looked at it, she knew that the sugar was extracted from honey, but the salt was coarse salt.

There are a lot of purification recipes in her APP, but now is not a good time to take them out.

After buying sugar and salt, Mu Chenglin took her to the place where ceramics were sold.

Whether you are making sauerkraut or vinegar, you need to use a clean and airtight jar.

The two of them chose here for a long time, and finally decided to buy a half-person tall jar, which weighed about 100 catties after being loaded with food, and was easy to move.

But there are not many such jars in the ceramic shop, only two, two hundred wen each.

Shen Yunxi ordered twenty on the spot, paid a deposit of one or two silver, and agreed to pick up the goods five days later.

The guy from the ceramics shop helped carry the two jars to the entrance of the town.

"I know you!" The guy said to Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi, "You are the little couple who came to sell sugar gourds two days ago, and I heard that sugar gourds were invented by you!" ”

"Now that I have bought so many jars, is there any new invention?"

Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him, the guy was a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm talking too much, I'm sorry!" ”

"It's fine!" Shen Yunxi didn't pay attention to it, the young man was just curious.

When I arrived at the entrance of the town, Uncle Zhao's donkey cart in the village had just arrived, and Uncle Zhao's donkey cart came to the town twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Many people got down from the donkey cart and saw Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin buying two jars.

"Yunxi, what are you doing, are you thinking of any way to make money!" The one who spoke was an aunt, surnamed Wu, who had not had any communication with the original owner.

"Isn't it getting cold? We don't have any land, and we can't find wild vegetables in the mountains in winter, so we thought about buying two jars to pickle some pickles to survive the winter! Shen Yunxi's eyes rolled, and he had already thought about it.

Mu Chenglin glanced at her and continued to move the jar to the donkey cart.

"The salt for pickling pickles, and the price of this jar, are almost as expensive as you can eat cauliflower, right? I think you've come up with some kind of recipe to hide it, right? ”

It was Zhu who said this, she was deflated by Shen Yunxi that day by the river, and she always wanted to find a time to get the field back.

"I said Aunt Xu, even if I have any recipes, what does it matter to you?" Shen Yunxi replied angrily, this old woman is really annoying.

"Why is it none of my business?" Aunt Xu's voice was a little louder, she was a little excited, when her daughter married Shen Wenjun, Shen Yunxi was going to call her daughter Fourth Aunt, how to say that she is also related, she has a good recipe, why can't she get a piece of the pie?

"My prescription is about my aunt's business, and the aunt's family will also give me some money, okay?" Shen Yunxi said.

Zhu pointed at Shen Yunxi and scolded her for being shameless, "I can't fight with you, you still think about my family's silver, and you want to eat it?" ”

"That aunt is worried about my recipe, doesn't she just want to eat fart!" Shen Yunxi replied with a smile.

There was a sound of ridicule around, and Aunt Wu, who spoke at the beginning, was a little embarrassed, and Zhu pointed at Shen Yunxi and left a sentence, "You wait for me!" I walked away without looking back!

After putting the jar, sugar, salt and cloth away, Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin went to the vegetable market again, and at this time the meat stall on the other side of the market had already closed to see if there was any meat sold in the vegetable market.

There is not much meat in the vegetable field, there are only two catties of fat left, one catty and eighteen, which is rounded by the two, and there is still a lot of pork belly left, and Shen Yunxi also wants one catty, one catty and fifteen.

Finally, I asked the boss for two shaved bones.

After buying these, Shen Yunxi proposed to go to the bookstore again and buy some pen and ink for Mu Chengjin.

"No, you don't! Ah Jin can wait for a while to buy it, and the books at home are enough for him to read for a long time! Mu Chenglin rejected Shen Yunxi's proposal.

Shen Yunxi shook her head, although she knew that Mu Chengjin's foundation was good, she couldn't delay him from moving forward just because he had a good foundation.

"Brother Mu, what are we making money for? It's not about making life better, the money is put there and it doesn't make money, it just rusts! ”

"Besides, it's not like we're running out of money now, and I've come up with a new idea, so why wait?"

"Ah Jin is now the most critical time to study, you have delayed him for a year, don't delay him anymore!"

Mu Chenglin listened to Shen Yunxi's words, and swallowed back into his stomach when he wanted to say something, "Okay, but just buy some pen and ink!" Let him continue to practice his words well! ”

Shen Yunxi didn't continue to insist, she didn't understand the books read by the ancients, and Mu Chengjin had also passed the stage of enlightenment, and the content he read was deeper, let them worry about it themselves!

After picking for a long time, I finally chose the cheapest set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which also required two taels of silver.

Shen Yunxi knew that it was not that Mu Chenglin was stingy, but that there were still many places to spend money, so if he wanted his family to live a better life, he could only work hard.

In the end, the two of them went to the grain store again and bought ten catties of rice. Shen Yunxi really didn't want to eat coarse grains, Mu Chenglin didn't have any opinions, in fact, he and his mother and brother had eaten enough coarse grains.

After buying these, Mu Chenglin took Shen Yunxi back to the donkey cart, and after waiting for a while, the talents who came to the town returned to the donkey cart one after another.

Because of the two more jars, the donkey cart was a little crowded.

Zhu was very dissatisfied and wanted to kick the altar, but she was afraid that the altar would be broken and she would have to pay for it, "I said Lao Zhao, you are too unkind, when we came just now, it only costs two cents to sit comfortably, but now it is so crowded, do you still want two cents?" ”
