Chapter 342: Earn money from both sides
Foods such as flower rolls and steamed buns don't need to be quick-frozen, and now the weather is not so hot, find a cool place, and store it for at least three or four days will not be spoiled.
Just freeze some stuffed food.
So in fact, it doesn't take much saltpeter to make ice.
However, in order to reward Jiubao for helping her keep it secret from the general, Xu Tianxin even sent a lot of saltpeter to Jiubao for keeping it for the summer to use slowly.
The ancient method of using saltpeter to make ice is not a secret method, and it has been mentioned in some reference books here in all dynasties. How to boil saltpeter is a little secret.
In Jiubao's eyes, for Xu Tianxin, who can make bombs and blow up his own house, the most basic step of getting saltpeter is like a joke, even he can, so he doesn't ask much.
Jiubao said the most to Xu Tianxin:
"We'll deal with it for a few days, and it's no problem for more than a month. In the past, when I went out with the general to catch up with the bad weather, I slept in the open air, I didn't eat anything, and I didn't eat a green leafy vegetable for half a year at the longest time, and it was always difficult to drink water. So the girl really doesn't have to be like this, so that the family side that hasn't been wrapped up quickly doesn't get busy. ”
Jiubao felt a little psychologically burdened.
For a moment, he regretted ordering food from Xu Tianxin, which made it very difficult for the Xu family to go out now, and they were very similar to the ones who dragged their feet.
But there is only a moment of regret.
Jiubao thought to himself: If God asked him to do it all over again, he would definitely find Miss Xu to order dinner earlier, and he would definitely not show up after two months of hard work.
After all, when conditions permit, who rarely suffers? It's not that they don't have money.
These elite soldiers should try to take care of their health. Don't finish digging anymore, your physical fitness won't be able to keep up with the waste after a year. They can't go to the battlefield with one enemy and ten, which is a greater loss.
However, they are all steamed dumplings, and you still want to eat swan meat? Miss Xu even looked sorry.
Jiubao almost bowed to Xu Tianxin and said: Don't be like this, although we treat ourselves as big treasures, we are really not a precious body.
If the young master knows about this, he will be rewarded with a few boards.
That night, when Xu Tianxin tossed food for the fifth time, when she was passing by the water bubble that met Huo Yunqian on a narrow road, Jiubao and them emerged from behind the hawthorn tree and appeared like ghosts.
Then no one spoke, but they scattered around them.
Jiubao didn't dare to stretch out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned Xu Tianxin to take off the steamed bun cloth bag hanging on his chest and back.
Jiubao took two steps and almost missed, and there were still two sacks tied to the cow's neck and the cow.
Xu Tianxin felt that he was picking up the bag, and when he looked back, the car that was still sharp before was empty, and those "ghosts" just now were gone.
Seeing that Jiubao tied a basket of dry food with a rope on his head, a bag around his neck, a large basket on his back, four bags on his two arms, and his chest was still like a kangaroo, he was opening his arms and wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
Xu Tianxin hurriedly called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
Before Xu Tianxin could speak, Jiubao also remembered something.
Although he felt that if Miss Xu was short of money, then he would be a poor ghost.
But what if.
The Xu family is a farmer's family, and the odd and miscellaneous businesses are added together, and they are very expensive when they are not sold. It's even harder to say if there's something urgent.
Isn't there such a sentence? Heroes are suffocated by a penny, not to mention that the common people have the possibility of tightening their hands for a while.
As Jiubao prepared to unload these grain bags, he asked:
"Girl, we are all rough people from martial arts, don't dislike Jiubao and be abrupt, I brought a lot of silver money before I came out here."
Before he came out, he also pulled out the pocket money that Shi'an had hidden, plus his own, almost more than three hundred taels.
Six fifty-tael silver tickets, and the rest are broken silver.
He brought it out when he came out to greet Xu Tianxin tonight.
"If it's useful, don't think about it, I can't spend it in the ravine.
Besides, don't you really need me to send you a message? Pass it to General Lu and ask her to write a note for you.
Why bother if you don't have the right, the road is unimpeded.
When you encounter a patrol at night, you don't need to be verbose, take out the letter with General Lu's private seal, and walk sideways, no one dares to deceive you. ”
Xu Tianxin couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stopped Jiubao Don't bother to unload the bag and take out the money, she has money.
I don't know when it started, but she felt that Jiubao was more like her friend.
Not to mention, if you really want to be short of money, if you have to borrow from the opposite sex, Xu Tianxin tasted the product, and found that opening his mouth to Jiubao was even less stressful than reaching out to Bai Muyan.
Bai Muyan's eyes were too affectionate, and borrowing money from such a person of the opposite sex had the illusion that he couldn't afford to sell his hue.
On the contrary, Jiubao has the down-to-earth spirit of a "little guy" and the atmosphere of a general. It's pure.
And what Xu Tianxin wanted to say to Jiubao was: "Ten days at most, you wait for me to come back." I've seen that there are still four jars of sauerkraut in my cellar, and I will ask my grandmother to make you sauerkraut stewed bone sticks for you. ”
Jiubao: Okay, this season, the Xu family still has sauerkraut, which shows how much other 0708 stocks will have.
If you want him to say, the Xu family is called Zhong Mingding's family.
The popularity is good, and there are many people who often come and go at home. There is no intrigue, and there is no need to bother to deal with useless people and things. In terms of eating and drinking, it is even more smooth, and there is no food on the table that tastes like chewing wax, and it tastes good.
Jiubao ran and disappeared into the night.
That night, Xu Youtian received a mysterious gift.
……
The day before departure, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Xu Tianxin deliberately made a pre-sale in advance for the sake of live broadcast sales.
Her pre-sale method is similar to her selling salted duck eggs and picking them up at the farm.
Xu Tianxin walked in the village with the sound of chickens chirping in the early morning, the sound of cuckoos, the chirping of frogs after the rain, and the chirping of crickets and cicadas.
She remembers that under her video, a highly praised answer was: It turns out that the freedom and idyllic life she wanted at the end of her life had been had at the beginning. When I was a child, I didn't cherish it, I still felt bored, and I missed it when I grew up, but I couldn't go back.
So Xu Tianxin thought that she would broadcast whatever her family wanted to watch.
When passing by Hao Yinhua's chickens in the West Courtyard, Xu Tianxin deliberately gave a close-up.
Because the chiming chickens in the west courtyard are warm-hearted, perhaps because they know the sound of their chickens, they run to the bottom of the wall every morning and stretch their necks at them.
One day it rained, and their house got up late, and the chickens were very anxious, and they almost went up to the wall to bark at them.
She was sleeping in the house and heard Grandma Hao Yinhua in the West Courtyard scolding the chicken: "Why are you so indebted, ah?" Forget about your own family affairs, and don't care if other people cover the sauce jar. It's covered, don't scream, Tian Xin'er is sleeping, and her grandmother will come out again to pluck your hair later. ”
At this time, Xu Tianxin came to the homes of several women who made Dragon Boat Festival sachets.
These aunts really got up early and were busy tying with colored threads.
"Yo, Tian Xin is here, have you eaten? I'll pour you a bowl of sweet water. ”
"No, auntie, I'm not thirsty. I'm just here to see how many I've saved? ”
The woman sighed, she had been busy for more than a month and almost two months, and she had only saved forty-six sachets by getting up early and greedy for darkness.
She doesn't think that it is because of the complexity of Tian Xin's improvement that it will be slow to compile, she thinks that there is too much work in the field, and there are many tattered household chores, and she has to pull a group of children to serve the men and the elderly to do laundry and cook, so that they will delay earning money.
"Will you take it today?"
Otherwise, Tian Xin would not get up early in the morning to come to the house, and it is not a secret that Tian Xin loves to sleep lazily in the village.
"Well, take it." Xu Tianxin squatted next to the woman, watching it seriously, that is, live broadcasting, how a few colored threads made up a small ingot, a small animal-shaped sachet, and then she would fill it with mosquito repellent wormwood.
But the woman misunderstood, thinking that she was not at ease.
The rough hand shrank and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, my aunt knows, you are going to sell these sachets to the rich and noble, and before each weaving, I soak my hands in hot water and wash them cleanly." I also wipe my hands with the oil I bought from you so that I don't scratch the threads. You see, none of them fluffed. ”
Xu Tianxin now sells some cheap flour oil for the sake of these surrounding village women and girls. Since the woman took over the work of beating the knots, she was ruthless, and used the empty jar of lard that used to be filled at home to go to Xu Tianxin and buy a spoonful.
She was reluctant to wipe her face, so she used it all to wipe her hands.
Xu Tianxin's place now sells cheap flour oil like soy sauce for people, and when it comes to selling spoons, the surrounding women come to buy it, and they need to bring their own jars.
Next, Xu Tianxin received the goods while live broadcasting, and she pulled the ox cart and came to the Pucao and Rattan Group.
These grandmothers are responsible for weaving cervical pillows, tatami mats, or round cushions for sitting at the coffee table. There are also cattailed mats.
Grannies sit around knitting.
Xu Tianxin interviewed one of the grandmothers: "How long does it take to weave this pillow?" ”
The grass rattan flew in the old man's hand, we don't understand why she wrapped a cloth on her head, the old man was smiling and said with a wrinkled face: "One a day, it's almost over." ”
There is only one a day, and it is said that it is fast, just because after picking the grass back, these grandmothers need to have a process of beating the grass and vines if they want to weave.
Xu Tianxin hoped to make more money, so she deliberately asked her family to search for the price of others first.
In addition, about Pucao here, she also sells white coarse cloth with soft and fragrant plush pillows.
And compared to the goods to be sold below, the above ones are not troublesome.
That is to sell wormwood essential oil soap, as well as wormwood essential oil.
From selecting Chen Ai, to cleaning, draining, grinding, distilling hydrosol, to distributing oil to make soap, cutting soap, repairing the soap shape in the shape of leaves, and then to sealing the soap seal, she broadcast every step to her family.
In summer, this soap horn is used to refresh, relieve itching, and remove mites, and men can also wash their hair and take a bath.
And wormwood essential oil can be scraped, and it takes about seven or eight catties of dried mugwort leaves to produce a small bottle of essential oil.
It is forbidden to use bottles and cans to store goods in the live broadcast room, and the boxes for soap are still small bamboo baskets hand-woven by grandfathers.
This time, the outer packaging has also been upgraded, because there are old craftsmen who can weave and dye Gao Mantang, Gao Mantang can weave patterns for small bamboo baskets, and they also carry colors.
Later, the family used a small bamboo basket with a lid buckle to install a flower head rope is also very beautiful.
Xu Tianxin also sold all kinds of floral essential oil soaps during this live broadcast, if the family in the live broadcast room bought six pieces, it was with a set of wooden boxes, and the wooden box was engraved with soap prints and trademarks engraved by Xu Youliang.
As for the container for essential oils, it is still a pocket-sized version of a small bamboo basket.
Why don't you leak it, this is taught by the villagers who fled from the outside and newly settled in Erdaohe, let them mix lime, tung oil and pig blood together, brush it on paper, and dry it after mounting.
Then use the bamboo strips to weave upwards one by one, so that the bottom will be small, the mouth is small, the belly is big, let the rest assured to use it, do not believe in advance to try, the cost is low and the oil does not smell, their hometown will use this to contain oil, vinegar and wine.
This method made the old Xu family happy, and it was clear at a glance that its biggest advantage was that it was not afraid of falling after the mouth was sealed, and the transportation was very light.
In this way, the Xu family's high-grade liquor can be transported out, and all kinds of things that need to be bottled in jars can also be shipped out, and they are not afraid that the road will slip and the jar will be broken in winter, and the cost will indeed be much lower. Because of the highest cost of pasting paper here, Lei Jiawo is working overtime to make paper.
At this time, what the people in the village didn't know was that Xu Tianxin took away a cart of goods, and Mrs. Xu drove away a donkey cart.
Mrs. Xu ordered a total of six donkey carts.
Every time Mrs. Xu tied the goods tightly, covered with oilcloth, and the knotting method used was still the technique of the special combat team taught by her modern son, and ordinary people would only pull it tighter and tighter if they wanted to untie it. Someone has not touched the goods, you can tell at a glance.
Donkey carts also have carriages, and no one knows what they are in.
The woman who caused the two batches of steamed dry food in the shop and the village mistakenly thought that it was dry food that was taken away. I thought that Mrs. Xu hadn't set off to Fucheng yet, and she cooperated with Zhao Zhenting's daughter-in-law to sell food in the town. Otherwise, where would all the dry food go?
After the grandfather and grandson transported four truckloads of goods in the morning, Xu Tianxin came to Grandpa Guan for the last stop.
Guan Erbald now has no home.
He salvaged Wei Fengshou and said: "Baby, as long as you are my son-in-law, my father-in-law will give you a home." ”
But after the red date father Wei Fengshou responded, the old Guan family's house was picked, the new house is under construction, the old house is not picked, where to build the new house?
Then things became, Hongjube not only had to take his new mother Yingzi to the workshop rented by Tianxin to borrow, but Hongjuju's father also had to take his father-in-law and stepson to live in the shack together.
Wei Fengshou built a house for the old Guan family for free, not to mention, he also had to cover Guan Erbald and Hu with a quilt to cook at night.
He is not as good as before, he used to sleep in the bathhouse and not live in the shack, and he can see Yingzi again. can be seen from the family affairs, Yingzi is very relieved to hand over his father and son to him, and he is busy filling the pillow core to make money. also said that if her father and son have something, just let him tell the red dates.
So Xu Tianxin came to an open field, and there was a lot of wormwood growing nearby.
The family members in the live broadcast room invariably played ellipses to express their surprise.
This open-air space has become a processing workshop for making mugwort.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, among the four rural langzhong, Langzhong who had treated Xu Zhaozhao in Xujiazhuang was also there, they were wearing a cloth towel on their heads, sitting at the table intently, rubbing the aged wormwood that had been more than ten years with their palms.
The real process of making mugwort, you need to pick out the weeds after picking the wild mugwort, beat the moxa ash, separate the leaves and stems, and mash them with a stone mortar five times, sieve them five times, and replace them with finer sieves over and over again. Then use a rolling pin to knock it, which is not at all more labor-saving than the old Xu family to make fish knock noodles.
Even the best quality mugwort, the people here pay attention to not being able to make moxa wool, they can't use stone mortars, but rub them with their palms. That's how much value it will be.
At this time, behind the four Lang Zhong were more than 100 half-grown male babies, who were pounding Chen Ai five times with a stone mortar and a sieve, and sifting five times, and the rolling pin was striking the moxa with an echo.
Xu Tianxin sat at a small table woven with pampas and vines, and on the table was specially placed a mosquito repellent tray made of wormwood, burning incense with essential oils made of wormwood and tangerine peel, and placing it in a pear lamp made by her.
is to pull out the pear flesh, this is called a glowing pear, Xu Tianxin compares his heart, and the family in the live broadcast room does not give up pears.
There are also samples of the finest wormwood freshly picked and a tea set with Peilan in it.
Xu Tianxin was not in a hurry to take out the goods to be sold, such as mugwort strips, foot soaking bags, bath orchid soup bags for bathing, etc., and wanted to insert a sentence, the reason why she made Peilan tea was precisely because there were wormwood, calamus, and very fragrant Peilan in the bath bag.
The ancient orchid grass also refers to Peilan, which means noble character, and the Dragon Boat Festival was called the Yulan Festival during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
She hopes that her family will buy a bath bag on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival and put it in the bathtub to aromatize and dissipate moisture.
Xu Tianxin first invited her master Guan Langzhong to sit cross-legged on another pampas mat, she opened and said: "The family has been Ai for three years, Langzhong will no longer come, if you want to be healthy, you will not do it for three miles." ”
Then, from her own incomprehensible perspective, she was asking Master what color the real three-year-old Ai was grinding out of, and what color was the five-year one.
Look at the ones on the market, how to fool modern family members. That is called every moxibustion takes one or two hours, it doesn't matter if it's not a good waste of time, and if you smell useless smoke for two hours, isn't that a pit person?
It doesn't even matter if the family buys it this time or not, she must tell the modern family what is true.
"There is also a seven-year illness, why choose three years of Ai, and whether one year is useless. Why do you only cut wormwood in the days before the Dragon Boat Festival, is it really artemisia in May and June, and as firewood in July and August? How do you store three years of mugwort, five years, or even ten years, do you want to take it out for a few days every year, and will there be wear and tear if you put it for a few years? That is to say, originally saved 100 catties, but in the end it became 10 catties. ”
Guan Erbald took a sip of tea, and he finally felt like a master.
“…… Ahem, you listen to the teacher's story. (End of chapter)
