In the second half of the night, the whole inn fell silent.

The innkeeper was lying on the square collapse behind the counter and napping, but Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin did not sleep.

Xu Tianxin was in the hut, sketching a pattern of distillation vessels with charcoal.

She needed to send the drawings to the porcelain factory as soon as possible to customize the lids, steam pipes, and coolers for the distilled spirits.

Presumably, it will take at least two days to add money to make the porcelain factory rush production, and she does not dare to delay, for fear of affecting the time to go back. More than a dozen people plus feeding cattle and mules, one more day of delay in Fucheng, even food and accommodation will cost an extra one or two silver dollars.

Xu Tianxin had a glass of honey water, a plate of freshly baked pastries, an unfinished steamed bun and a Northeast salad in his hand.

The pastry was deliberately steamed by the grandmother and left for her to eat, and the grandmother said that it would be convenient for others to make up lies.

But the taste is not bad, it just doesn't look shaped.

As for the salad, my grandmother was afraid that she hadn't eaten properly for a few days, so when she bought the ingredients before, she bought some vegetables and made a spicy mix for her.

When he returned to the inn in the evening, Xu Tianxin ate half a steamed bun with spicy mixing.

Grandma said that when she takes her out next time, she must have added everything that should be added at home at that time, and she will have some spare money in her hand.

Suddenly, there was a snoring, Xu Tianxin put down the charcoal, got up and covered the third uncle with a quilt.

The third uncle was going to lay on the floor, and he was always worried about them. There is only a two-meter kang in the room, a table and a stool, and it is extremely cramped when you turn around, and you can't sleep with people.

It was still the grandmother who reprimanded the third uncle for lying on the ground and getting in the way, so she went to lie on the kang first, and then it was too late to wake up after she was busy and then move the table and lay on the floor, so the third uncle couldn't stand the sleepiness and lay down at ease. The third uncle can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.

At the same time, Mrs. Xu, who was in the stove room, also closed the door of the firewood room and was busy with her movements.

Mrs. Xu is cutting the fermented dough into shreds thinner than leek leaves.

The oil in the pan was at the right temperature, and the thin, short noodles were put into the hot oil, and finally in her hands, they were fried like popcorn and curled.

A large chunk of sakima made with honey, caramel, the best fine white flour on the market, eggs and a mixture of preserved fruit shreds.

Mrs. Xu used a rolling pin to roll it flat while it was hot, and after flattening it, she sprinkled a lot of black sesame seeds on it.

The sound of her knife clicking with her knife clicked.

The aromatic smell spreads in the stove room.

Mrs. Xu's Saqima is beige in color, crispy and non-sticky, and each piece has a lot of sweet and sour preserved fruit silks, when you are hungry or have low blood sugar, you can take a bite of your lips and teeth and have a moderate sweetness. There is no modern saccharine taste, she is boiled with caramel and honey.

Mrs. Xu also tasted a piece herself, and thought to herself while tasting it: What should you name it?

All she knows is Saqima, aka Dog Titty Dip Sugar.

Why don't you call it a gas horse?

Look at the shape and think: hornet's nest?

Just as Xu Tianxin pushed the door in, he helped his grandmother turn the oil lamp, and when asked, he said casually: "Health code." ”

…… Really talented.

"Done?"

"Well, milk, I guess custom stills will be expensive."

"It's okay, it's hard to go out, let's spend the most, and the rest just needs to reach home." lest you go back and buy nothing, and it will be expensive. ”

Mrs. Xu didn't want to infect her granddaughter with the anxiety of lack of money: "The money should be enough, isn't this going to sell these two pastry recipes again?" ”

It can be seen that Mrs. Xu is also looking forward to these two kinds of dim sum.

While making mochi with orange juice, Mrs. Xu thought to herself: It would be nice if the two recipes could be sold for more than 50 taels.

At once, you can relax a lot, pay off the famine you owe, go back with a debt when you leave, and you can buy back the necessities that the family lacks at the moment. This is the best result.

Of course, that was the bottom price in her heart, and she wouldn't open her mouth for only fifty taels of silver.

After all, it is exclusive, it depends on whether the owner has a vision.

Not to mention the Qinglou's always premium sales method, only mention the chain dim sum shop, branches all over the country can use health codes and fruit mochi recipes, only these two kinds of pastries, several stores at the same time, even if there are few people who buy, but to the noble customers who often buy desserts to push more, can not be prepared for a month or two to return to the capital.

Therefore, fifty taels is not a lot of recipes, it depends on whether the store cares about one or two more types.

That night, the grandparents and the third child of the Xu family slept upside down on the two-meter kang in the hut.

Mrs. Xu slept in the middle and was very disgusted, but the third child couldn't bear to wake up the snoring sound.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Xu appeared in the kiln porcelain factory with her son and granddaughter.

"How many silver taels?"

"The craftsmanship is complicated, and you have to be urgent, if you come to pick up the goods in the afternoon two days later, you will need thirteen taels." The shopkeeper of the kiln porcelain factory who collects money pulls the abacus.

Customized pot lids, they have to contact the blacksmith shop they work with, and the utensils they want are also mixed with wood, and there is a barrel made of wood with a "mechanism" in it, I don't know what it is used to brew, but the carpenter needs to have good craftsmanship to make it.

Mrs. Xu didn't give the money on the spot, and went back to the inn to get a mule cart and went to four handicraft workshops around the city in a row.

In fact, there is no complicated place, it is nothing more than that there is no water pipe as a conduit and faucet, and the production is more bizarre, and it is added to it. The old distillation barrels were filled with a few wooden partitions with curved boards. It can be seen that in ancient times, it was difficult to even buy an instrument, and it was expensive to death.

Thirteen taels of silver money was spent, Xu Youcang's feeling was: he had to hold back and not squeak, after all, it was too late to regret it, and the old lady came out after spending the money.

But...... What's the wine? He didn't sound like he was brewing it himself, and he wanted to buy ready-made wine and brew it again, why did it feel like taking off his pants and farting?

Xu Youcang's expression was as natural as possible: "Mother......"

"What do you ask, no, you can go back, it's useless anyway, can I use the silver money to play in the water?"

Xu Youcang was aggrieved, he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Xu touched the silver money in her pocket, and returned the forty taels of fish floss to Liu Laozhu, so she didn't mention it.

They had 19 taels of silver for part-time work plus robbery, and they had to remove the 5 taels of oil money they bought in the county seat. She asked Liu Laozhu to help buy 20 catties of sesame oil, 150 catties of plate oil, and 30 catties of soybean oil. These oils together are not enough to open a restaurant, but it cost five taels, and this money has been given to Liu Lao's family in the county seat as early as the past. Fortunately, she earned five taels by selling sets, which was leveled out again.

I earned more than four taels of silver by selling jade ring noodles, but I had to remove the two taels of silver from my mother-in-law.

As for the money left over from the family, he bought the mermaid meat in the village in bits and pieces to make jade ring noodles and fish floss. And the expenses along the way are all spent, and there is still money left. When you go out, you don't spend anything, you can eat and live again and again, and you will have to spend a lot of money on the average travel fee when you go home, so it's not so fine. In addition, she and her granddaughter earned a salary of three taels of silver from live broadcasting.

According to Mrs. Xu's thoughts, in fact, she and her granddaughter earned money from live broadcasting, and it stands to reason that she should save it for her granddaughter alone, not as a family. It's not just her selfishness, but it's mainly troublesome, and if you have more money, you won't be able to tell the boy. But people have to know how to be flexible, when the family is in a hurry to use the money, they have it, and they can't go outside to borrow it, that is a lack of heart.

But when Ming'er has the money, she has to string out the money, so that her family and Qin Niang can't find out.

In short, after paying the utensils money, there are still twelve taels left in his hand, which is the family's silver money, and the foreign debt of seventy-four taels has been paid off forty, and there is still a debt of thirty-four taels, and this is the situation.

In the eyes of the third child, she probably only has five or six taels left.

Mrs. Xu patted her son on the back and said, "Silly look, hurry up and catch the car to make money." ”

Mrs. Xu went directly to the largest green building in Fucheng, and she still put her hope here.

Haven't you heard that saying, when you earn easily, you will spend money loosely. Qinglou is a place of high consumption, and money comes quickly. As the family members in the live broadcast room said, a bottle of Coke in modern entertainment venues sells for 25 yuan, and two yuan outside.

Ward day, this green building smells of money from the outside, there is a boat workshop, a chef and a dining area, and it will be sent at noon.

The first floor is to listen to the drama and drink tea, and at this time, the female storyteller in the hall is dressed in white and is talking energetically.

It is said that there is also a private room, where you can order a female gentleman to enter the private room to tell a story or play a musical instrument to enjoy tea.

The red yarn on the second floor fluttered, and there was a beautiful sound, it was estimated that he was singing and dancing, and the private room for eating was also on the second floor.

Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and looked at the third floor, guessing that it was a custom room, specially for receiving distinguished guests, and I heard that she went directly to the third floor by taking a single door.

In addition, the backyard is covered with a large courtyard alone, like the five courtyards of the big family in the legend, there are rockeries, lotus ponds, fishing gardens, gardens in the courtyard, but they are guarded and can't enter, the green building has its own "guards", and the backyard is not allowed to enter casually. The mother-in-law and maid who enter and serve back and forth also have to show their waist cards.

Mrs. Xu guessed that she couldn't prepare those rooms, and some rooms were shaking lightly under the furong curtain, and the red waves were rolling and wheezing, so she couldn't spoil the good things of the distinguished guests, and she would manage them strictly.

Like if she broke into the door by mistake, how could she break a tone of scare to others.

And all of the above, Mrs. Xu is listening to the flower sellers, the headdress fan sachets, the spices and skin care products, the dresses and embroidered shoes styles, all kinds of things are sold, and only after listening to everyone's words do they know that they are now in a small house waiting to buy the steward.

I heard that every three days will be a unified meeting of salesmen, the people of the whole city do counterpart business know about this, and there is only this time period every day to take care of them, Mrs. Xu feels very lucky, if she didn't buy distillation utensils, it won't be so coincidental, I guess I will come early to eat a closed door. It's right that I didn't come last night, and I heard the girl who sold flowers say that people don't have time to take care of it at night.

Mrs. Xu just regretted that she couldn't broadcast live, and Xu Tianxin and Xu Youcang were stopped outside and waiting. No matter what you sell, only bring a sample into one representative.

Mrs. Xu was the most worn and eye-catching, and there was nothing valuable to sell in the eyes of others, so when she was arranged to sit in the most inconspicuous room and wait silently, she estimated it in her heart and raised the reserve price again.

Even the price of the set, she mentioned a few articles.

An hour later, it was finally her turn, and she was earning more than most sales reps.

Because there were only a few samples of the set she brought, she was reprimanded, saying that she wasted people's time and didn't bring goods to pay anything.

In the end, it may be a waste of time to not be able to gain nothing, so the purchasing manager selects six models and sends a total of 1,000 of these six models. A thousand digs, and I don't know how many fish Guan Erbald will kill. But if the 1,000 sets could be delivered before the middle of eleven, she alone would have earned twenty taels of silver.

And the big head is the practice of selling "health codes" and fruit mochi. Saqima, what does the store like to call it, and I just bought the steward and struggled with it. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the dessert recipe she added two things together sells for sixty-five taels. Although it is not cost-effective, it is a solution to an urgent need.

Mrs. Xu walked out of the Qinglou and hugged her granddaughter a little excitedly.

The famine can be over.

She can also make two more padded jackets for her granddaughter, two more sets of underwear, and can afford to buy a few books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone. If necessary, you can buy a few knives for your granddaughter even the cheap paper that wipes her buttocks.

Xu Youcang looked at his mother's excitement and couldn't believe it: "It's really sold?" The one that was tinkered with last night? Mother, can you pinch me, I think it's a dream! ”
