"What should I do then?" Shen Shuangshuang asked directly.

Cheng Lei paused.

"Let's buy it from a grain merchant."

"Just buy some old grain."

"You didn't promise the tenant farmers new grain, did you?"

"Nope." Shen Shuangshuang said.

Cheng Lei had a relieved expression.

"Promise to give grain, but you don't grow grain in your village, this matter is actually a bit troublesome."

"But when we distribute food next year, we won't necessarily need that much food."

"After all, when the time comes, if you divide the food among them, they will not be able to finish eating, and they will also sell some of it. When the time comes, you convert some money to them, and they should agree. ”

Shen Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.

"But in any case, you still have to prepare early and stock up on some food first."

"Hoard. Find the Zhou family! Stale grain is now cheap. ”

Shen Shuangshuang burst into laughter.

"You can't buy all the old grain. This year's harvest in Mengjiazhuang is still Su Sange's, and he still has a Wangjiazhuang in his hand. ”

"How about you say that I will go to Third Brother Su and ask him to sell me the grain in his hand?"

Cheng Lei's eyes moved.

"Those two Zhuangzi have a lot of land. Do you have spare money to buy that much food? ”

Cheng Lei's gaze was too straight, and Shen Shuangshuang dodged it.

"This ...... It's okay too...... Isn't food cheap now? ”

Cheng Lei frowned.

"Sister, you agreed at the beginning, and you wanted to lend me the bride price money for marrying Yu Yan-"

Shen Shuangshuang's face turned pale, and he was a little weak-hearted.

"Yes, yes."

"Tell me how much you have on hand now, and how much you are missing."

Cheng Lei's face was bitter.

"The patchwork adds up to less than three thousand taels, and half of it hasn't been scraped together."

Shen's eyes widened.

"And—so much?"

"Hmm." Cheng Lei nodded in frustration.

Shen Shuangshuang was a little sympathetic.

"Don't worry, it's still a few months before the Chinese New Year."

"When the weather cools down, the business of the hot pot restaurant will improve."

"Again, our branch is about to open. When the time comes, the two stores will be open together, and they will be able to make more money. ”

Cheng Lei's eyes were complaining.

There is still a difference of more than 7,000 taels of silver, even if the hot pot restaurant makes more money, it is not enough for him to earn 7,000 taels of silver......

Thinking of something, Cheng Lei suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Sister, I want to sell hot pot base ingredients in a hot pot restaurant, mainly to those merchants who come and go to Shangyang Town, what do you think?"

Shen Shuangshuang's face was stunned.

"This ......" is not good.

She is now short of chili peppers, and the production of fermented bean curd and steamed pork powder has been stopped, where can she make hot pot base in batches?

Moreover, the hot pot base is different from the steamed pork powder, and there is oil in the hot pot base, and the weather is cold in winter, so it is feasible to seal it with oil paper after cooling.

But in the summer, when the weather is hot, the oil in the hot pot base melts away, and the hot pot base is ruined.

At present, Shen Ji's old hot pot, as well as the hot pot branch opened in the county, the hot pot base she gives is made fresh on a regular basis.

When storing, the hot pot base is also placed in a clay pot and stored at a low temperature as much as possible.

"Nope." Under Cheng Lei's expectant gaze, Shen Shuangshuang still refused.

Cheng Lei looked disappointed.

However, it did not insist.

Shen Shuangshuang was a little sympathetic.

After hesitating, he said, "If you really want to generate income...... Otherwise, sell some lo-mei that can be packaged in the store. ”

Cheng Lei's eyes lit up.

"I'll give you the recipe when I go back, and you can serve a few braised dishes in the store in the future." When the guests leave, if they are willing to buy, you can pack them for them. ”

"By the way, the braised dishes are only on our own hot pot restaurant, and the franchise store is counted. You have to keep an eye on the recipe, don't leak it out. ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Lei hurriedly responded.

"Tofu skin and yuba, I also want to put some in the store to sell." Then he said.

Belch...... Shen Shuangshuang's expression was a little embarrassed.

"You can do it yourself."

Her poor brother, this is to make more money, and she wants to try everything.

"Good! Thank you, sister! Cheng Lei said immediately.

Shen Shuangshuang waved his hand and picked up vegetables from the pot.

"By the way, I want to buy a batch of piglets, do you have a way?"

Chickens can be bought in sufficient quantities in the market, and although they are available in the piglet market, there are not many of them.

"Nope." Cheng Lei responded without thinking about it.

"You go to the market and ask the butcher, you should be able to find it."

Shen Shuangshuang was a little disappointed.

chatted with Cheng Lei about some other topics.

By the time I left the branch, it had been more than an hour.

Thinking that Li Ke and the others were leaving Shangyang Town today, Shen Shuangshuang did not go anywhere else, but returned to the Rejuvenation Hall.

As a result, Li Ke was already in the Rejuvenation Hall.

As soon as Shen Shuangshuang came back, Shen chose to avoid it, leaving the space to his son and daughter-in-law.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Looking at each other, Shen Shuangshuang asked Li Ke a little nervously.

"The master thought that it was not easy for us to get along with husband and wife, so he specially allowed me to leave first." Li Ke said and walked towards Shen Shuangshuang.

"Let's go for a walk." Opening.

"Hmm." Shen Shuangshuang responded.

The two walked out of the Rejuvenation Hall and came out into the street.

There are more people on the street, but they are not as restrained as before.

The two of you chatted for a while, passing by a jewelry store.

Li Ke proposed to go in and have a look.

Shen Shuangshuang wanted to refuse, but seeing that Li Ke had already taken steps towards the jewelry store, he chose to follow.

Entering the silver building, Li Ke asked Shen Shuangshuang to pick up jewelry.

Shen Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, then responded.

Since you have decided to accept Li Ke and accept the gift he gave, it can be regarded as a signal to the other party.

In the end, Shen Shuangshuang chose a jade hairpin.

also chose a hosta with the same style for Li Ke.

Li Ke's eyes were excited, holding the hosta, and he couldn't put it down.

Giving each other "love tokens", after walking out of the jewelry store, the hands of the two unconsciously pulled together.

"When will you come back when you leave this time?" Walking to a street corner, Shen Shuangshuang suddenly stopped.

Li Ke turned around and met Shen Shuangshuang's gaze.

The woman's beautiful face made him lose his mind.

"Giggles—" Shen Shuangshuang covered his lips.

Li Ke hurriedly came back to his senses.

"It depends on the situation of Cold Moon City."

"Da Liao is ambitious, and it is difficult for Cold Moon City to stabilize."

"Before the snowfall, Liao can't afford to fight, and we should come back for the New Year." As he spoke, Li Ke stretched out his hand and stroked Shen Shuangshuang's face.

Shen Shuangshuang subconsciously wanted to hide, but stopped.

The man's hand did not touch her face, but helped her comb her sideburns from the wind-blown hair.

Shen Shuangshuang laughed, took Li Ke's hand again and walked forward.

"Then I'll wait for you." Whispered.

A warmth melted from Li Ke's heart.

Time passed quickly, and before the unitary time, the two of them rushed back to the Rejuvenation Hall.

Murong Zhan and Yin Song have returned.

The guards, as well as the guys from the Rejuvenation Hall, began to deliver the medicinal herbs to the docks.

Yin Song asked Li Ke to borrow Shen Shuangshuang to speak.

"The kraft cabbage you mentioned earlier, as well as other vegetables, can be approved to me."

"Anyway, there are separate merchant ships that come to you from time to time to batch bean curds and yuba, and when the time comes, just bring some vegetables and vegetables by the way."
