Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Sauerkraut, Preparing to Go to the Beam

Old Lady Shen glanced at Zhu with disdain, and then helped Shen Xiujuan to leave.

Before the Zhu clan could make a move, Shen Yunxi hid in the crowd and said, "What can you do with a hundred copper plates, the wound on this face needs the best medicine, otherwise it will leave a scar!" ”

"That's it, the last time I was working, my arm was bruised, and it cost me a few taels of silver to prescribe a side medicine in Langzhong!" In fact, it was smashed by wood and fractured!

"A few days ago, my son fell and broke a little skin on his hand, and he spent more than a tael of silver!" In fact, it was a hand that was scraped by a debris on the ground, and the wound was long and deep, and he had to change the dressing every day.

Originally, everyone was just watching the show from the sidelines, and the usual behavior of Mrs. Shen and the Zhu family was not liked by everyone, and no one was favored, but Mrs. Shen's attitude of throwing the copper plate just now angered these villagers.

Shen Yunxi was very familiar with this scene, the last time the old lady smashed her jar, she threw a hundred copper plates on the ground.

"Then you say, how much does it cost?" Old Lady Shen said impatiently.

Everyone was also a little stunned by this question, the injury on Xu Zihui's face is actually a skin injury, and no one can say whether he can leave a scar, so he has to invite Lang Zhong to know.

"Twenty taels of silver!" Shen Yunxi hid behind and said.

"Twenty taels? Why don't you grab it? Old Lady Shen jumped to her feet and scolded.

When Zhu heard this, he said, "That's right, twenty taels, this face is going to the county seat to see, and there is no scar at all!" ”

"Phew! I think you're deliberately blackmailing! Old Mrs. Shen tightened her pockets, twenty taels was already a lot of money for the current Shen family!

"If you don't give money, then go to the county office, but the scar on this face has to be seen in time to see Langzhong, if it is delayed, the chance of leaving a scar will be bigger and bigger, and the money will be lost even more!" Shen Yunxi said nonsense.

As soon as the Zhu family heard it, it was okay, and they asked for money by pulling Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen didn't want to go to the county office, if Shen Xiujuan was sued to the county office, it would be difficult to marry in the future!

She reluctantly took out ten taels of silver, "Twenty taels is not, there are only ten taels, do you want to love it!" ”

Zhu's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

A farce ended with Mrs. Shen losing ten taels of silver, and Shen Yunxi mixed in the crowd and returned to the homestead.

Yang Xiaomi and Aunt Huang had already come back to help, and this "rich Xia Gongzi" was still gnawing on the cow bones in a hurry, ignoring what was happening outside.

Shen Yunxi didn't talk much, and joined the ranks of cooking!

At noon today, I ate sauerkraut fish, sauerkraut white meat, sauerkraut stewed pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs. The staple foods are sauerkraut dumplings and sauerkraut noodles, respectively.

Fortunately, Aunt Huang and Yang Mi's pasta are not bad, otherwise Mu Chenglin would really be tired to death!

Xia Yifan tried every dish many times, the more he ate, the more satisfied he became, just when Mu Chenglin was cooking, Shen Yunxi explained beside him, he had already memorized the five methods of sauerkraut!

After eating, Shen Yunxi also distributed the rest of the dishes to Yang Mi and Aunt Huang, and Mu Chenglin took Xia Yifan back to the halfway up the mountain.

Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin have already dried the marinated beef one by one and hung it all over the yard.

Xia Yifan was no longer surprised, he followed Shen Yunxi to the backyard, which was full of many jars.

Shen Yunxi opened one of the sauerkraut jars, "There are already several jars of sauerkraut ripe in here, and one jar will ripen every day in the future, if you need to increase the amount, we can also increase the amount of pickling!" ”

Xia Yifan nodded, he wanted these jars of sauerkraut, the previous bean sprouts and tofu made the business of several nearby Qingfeng Lou better and better, and he had already tasted the sweetness.

It's just that bean sprouts and tofu are not easy to preserve, and it is difficult for him to transport the finished product to his father to taste, but sauerkraut is different, as long as it is well preserved, it can be stored for a long, long time.

The next step is the bargaining link, the purchase price of a pound of vegetables Shen Yunxi is two cents a catty, Xia Yifan opened the price, and the sauerkraut is purchased for ten cents a catty.

Mu Chenglin on the side directly refused, before this, Mu Chenglin rarely opened his mouth to meddle in the affairs of Shen Yunxi and Xia Yifan, but this time he refused!

"Young Master Xia, sauerkraut is easy to preserve, and you have your own caravan, it is not difficult for you to transport it to Qingfeng Towers all over the country!"

"Sauerkraut is different from pickles, its taste is more special, plus the few recipes just provided, what kind of benefits will it bring to Qingfeng Lou, I think Xia Gongzi understands it very well!"

Shen Yunxi didn't think of this, she knew that Xia Yifan had more than one Qingfeng Building, but only one sauerkraut......

She glanced at Mu Chenglin, Mu Chenglin's eyes stayed on those vats, and Xia Yifan's eyes were also attracted.

"That's right! The sweet and sour pork ribs I ate at noon today are sweet and sour, and one of the ingredients is called vinegar. It's not good yet, though, and when it's fully cooked, we'll have more recipes for Qingfeng here! ”

In fact, the vinegar is already good, but you can drop Xia Yifan's appetite first!

"On top of that, the sauce in these vats will taste even better than vinegar! With them, even the pork stew that we eat regularly will become even more delicious! ”

Shen Yunxi first made the reputation of soy sauce and soybean sauce and used them to attract Xia Yifan.

Xia Yifan glanced at Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi with a smile, "It's not impossible to raise the price, but the purchase price of this vegetable is already very low, so let's add five more copper plates." ”

Shen Yunxi continued, "Young Master Xia, I'll give you vegetables, can you make sauerkraut?" ”

"You don't know how cumbersome the process is here, how many ingredients have to be added, otherwise the dish won't be like this!"

"Besides, the tofu made of soybeans is sold in Qingfeng Building for more than 100 copper plates!"

In the end, Xia Yifan set the sauerkraut at 20 yuan a catty, containing water, and Shen Yunxi was satisfied.

At the same time, for the five new dishes at noon, Xia Yifan gave another hundred taels to buy the recipe.

signed a contract with Xia Yifan, and after moving the sauerkraut jar into the carriage, Xia Yifan left.

Shen Yunxi saw that Mu Chenglin was a little dissatisfied, she persuaded, "Sauerkraut is a dish no matter what, besides, I still have a lot of ideas, when we have money, we will also go to the town to open a store!" ”

Mu Chenglin shook his head, "There are many restaurants in the town, and there is Qingfeng Building, so it's hard to compete!" ”

"Think bigger! Can I think of a different cuisine, and can I not think of a different business model? Making these pickles is just the beginning. ”

"When it gets bigger, we'll buy all the land around it and build a big workshop. We're going to open a store in the town, and then we're going to the county seat to open a store! ”

Mu Chenglin listened to what Shen Yunxi said, and his eyes flashed a little light, if this is the case, wouldn't it be okay?

He clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions, maybe God let Shen Yunxi come to him by mistake to help him!

When cooking in the afternoon, Shen Yunxi found that Mu Chenglin's mood was better, this guy, obviously only sixteen years old, but he kept a straight face all day long.

She's earned him more than one hundred and twenty taels, and I've never seen him smile at her!

Forget it! She doesn't care about her sister as much as her brother!

On this day, Shen Pingping came out to cut pigweed again, these days, Liu's beating is about to accept her fate, but she Shen Pingping is not!

Shen Yunxi can live a life under such circumstances, and so can she, Shen Pingping.

At this time, there was a sound of rustling in the grass again, Shen Pingping didn't have the first nervousness, she quietly approached, picked up the grass, and saw Qiao Ruijie and Liu Shihan.

She hid in the shadows, watching the process in full view, and an evil thought rose in her heart.

As the days passed, the Mu family's new house was about to be completed, and on this day, Shen Yunxi completely handed over the task of cooking to Aunt Huang and Yang Xiaomi.

During this time, Aunt Huang was familiar with it, and she also knew a few simple dishes, all of which were dishes that Shen Yunxi did not sell to Qingfeng Lou.

Shen Yunxi is going to buy furniture with Mu Chenglin, it cost twenty taels to buy land before, and one hundred and twenty taels before building a house and a workshop, although there are some incomes every day, but it is not enough to buy good furniture!

A few days ago, the sauerkraut recipe was sold for another 100 taels, and the furniture could be settled in advance!

It's going to be autumn, and there are fewer and fewer cabbages and greens, so Shen Yunxi let out a rumor that everyone should have a variety of mustard greens, and when it comes to winter, they will collect as much as they want, two pennies a catty.

The people who have fields in the village have all started to grow mustard greens, and even looking at Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin feel pleasing to the eye!

The two of them sat on a donkey cart, and everyone was talking and laughing at them, and they all knew that they were going to buy furniture!

There was only one furniture seller in the town, and Mu Chenglin walked in with Shen Yunxi. Although there are not many styles, the difference is mainly in the grade of wood.

The living room, four master bedrooms, two guest rooms, kitchen, a lot of furniture needs to be used, beds, screens, mirror tables, wardrobes, desks, tables of eight immortals, various stools and chairs, etc., each of which needs to be bought several pieces.

Shen Yunxi didn't want to use inferior wood, so after doing the math, he could only buy the furniture he needed the most first, and the rest could be added slowly when he had money later!

Shen Yunxi is not worried about running out of money, when her vinegar, soy sauce, and soybean sauce are ready, Xia Yifan will definitely take the initiative to find her.

After customizing the furniture and paying the deposit, the two of them went to the bookstore again, bought books and paper for Mu Chengjin, and then went to the ceramic store to customize a hundred jars and twenty vats.

Although Xia Yifan will return the jar later, there is also a turnover process in the middle, with the jar in hand, you can do whatever you want directly!

The last two bought a lot of flour and rice, and a lot of pork!

The food and pork eaten during these days were either brought by Uncle Zhao or by the village head, and today the two of them came to the town and simply purchased them by themselves!

After buying these, the two went back with a full load, and the donkey cart was stuffed with flour, rice and pork, and no one in the village would dislike them for being crowded!

Within a few days, the furniture entered the village, and many people came out to watch, and the material of these furniture was worth a lot at a glance, and many people looked hot.

"I heard that the Mu family has built a lot of rooms, how can there only be such a little furniture!" Someone in the crowd asked.

"It can't be that there is not enough money, right?" Someone muttered quietly.

"I see! If you don't have enough money, you can cover less, you can see that you are a fat man with a swollen face! ”

Shen Yunxi won't care about these sour words, she is very busy!

Soon, the house will be built and ready to be beamed! Mu Chenglin said that he would invite the whole village to dinner, which he and his mother had discussed.

Most of the villagers are still very simple and good to the Mu family, and they will slowly develop and grow in the village later, and they need the support of the villagers.

The day before Shangliang, Mu Chenglin went to the mountains again, if he could find something new, coupled with his current craftsmanship, this Shangliang's rice would definitely make the villagers full of praise.

Shen Yunxi, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin cleaned up in the new house, and when they had finished cleaning and returned to the middle of the mountain, Mu Chenglin had not come back yet!

Mu's mother was very worried about her son's safety, there were many dangers in the mountains, and one accidentally got into the belly of the tiger.

Shen Yunxi is also very worried, if Mu Chenglin is gone, she has no support here, a twelve-year-old girl, with a somewhat pampered mother-in-law, a ten-year-old brother-in-law, how can I live this day?

Mu Chenglin found a big cow in the trap, hungry for some days, he guessed that it should be the mother of the little buffalo last time, came to look for her child, but also fell into this trap.

Although the big cow was a little thin from hunger, it was still very large. This is a place deep in the mountains, and it is easy to attract powerful beasts.

Unable to bleed and make the cow struggle, he made a raft and tied the dying buffalo with his mouth and four legs, put it on the raft, and pulled the buffalo out of the mountains while being vigilant.

So he got home a little late!

From afar, he saw his mother standing in front of the courtyard gate, pacing back and forth for fear, and his cheap little wife also kept looking out.

Mu Chenglin smiled self-deprecatingly, and his face returned to his original expression.

After Mu Chenglin approached, Mu Mu finally saw Mu Chenglin and the big buffalo behind him, and she said a little tremblingly, "Ah Lin, how dangerous this is!" ”

Mu Chenglin caught the big buffalo in a trap, and it was so hungry that it had no strength to tell Mu Mu, Mu Mu still had palpitations, "Dragging such a big thing, if you encounter a tiger and a lion, you can't go fast, don't do this next time, don't eat this beef!" ”

Mu Chenglin said gently, "Got it, mother!" ”

Taking advantage of the night, Mu Chenglin dismantled the cow, and Shen Yunxi knew that there was no chance to sleep tonight.

Like last time, Mu Chenglin processed the big bones, she came to make braised beef, and finally made beef sauce.

Mu Chenglin not only went to the village chief's house to borrow a cauldron this time, but also went to Yang Xiaomi's house to borrow a cauldron, and at the same time let them let out the rumors, early tomorrow morning, the Mu family invited the whole village to eat beef noodles.

When Mu Chenglin boiled all the beef bones, the braised beef on Shen Yunxi's side had already begun to be boiled and soaked, looking at Shen Yunxi's somewhat sneaky appearance, Mu Chenglin still pretended not to see it.

The braised beef occupied the two large pots in the kitchen, and Mu Chenglin found a wooden basin to serve the braised beef and the soup together.

It was not early, and Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin were driven to sleep.

The next thing is to make beef sauce together, this time there is a lot of beef, and all the dried mushrooms at home are soaked, and it is estimated that a few jars can be made.
