Chapter 32 The opening of the business
Ye Xinyan was very disdainful of what her grandfather said, she rolled her eyes secretly, and complained: "About the matter of grandpa returning to his old job, what my uncle said is right. How old are you, and you still think you are a young man?" Woolen cloth?"

Qi Younian smiled, "Even if I am old and have no physical strength, I still have the skills. I can take two apprentices, teach them how to do the work, and earn money at the same time. When they learn it, your dowry will be about the same enough."

"Marry, dowry?" Ye Xinyan was shocked when she heard this word for the first time in Qi Younian's place, "What dowry? What do I want dowry for?"

Nanny Jin secretly smiled at the side, the old man was still thoughtful.

Qi Younian was surprised and said: "Of course you need a dowry when you get married. The dowry is good. When we are looking for someone else, we will have the confidence to choose the in-law's family. There are also people who are willing to marry us."

"I... I've already been married, what kind of family can I find?" Fortunately, Ye Xinyan swallowed the food in her mouth, or she might have sprayed it.

Before Qi Younian could speak, Nanny Jin became anxious, "Your child, you have just turned 19, so of course you want to find your in-law's family to marry. This time, let's find a dutiful family, and we will tell Ye Zi, who can read and write, He is well-educated, reasonable-looking, and handsome, so he will definitely find a lovable husband-in-law."

Nanny Jin really thought about this matter, the eldest lady just turned 19 this year, and she was just young.Although the eldest lady was married once, but she didn't have a son and a half girl by her side, if she just lived by herself, how could she do it?Now there is the old man and her by the eldest lady's side. When they are gone, what will the eldest lady do if she is old and lonely?
Although my eldest lady is not outstanding among the beauties in the capital, but in this countryside, the condition of the eldest lady can't be found in ten miles and eight villages.She is young, beautiful, and knows poetry and calligraphy. Although she is not as popular as a girl, the eldest lady has started to study hard now. The eldest lady has volunteered to help sew the two quilts at home.

Looking at all the conditions, the eldest lady is quite worthy of a wealthy family in the county and the countryside.

Qi Younian also chimed in, and said solemnly: "Yezi, Jin Nanny is right. You are a woman, and you are young, and you will have a long life in the future. You must have someone to rely on. Marry someone It must be considered."

"Well, that, eat, eat first." Ye Xinyan looked at the one-sided situation and made a quick decision, deciding that it would be better to put this topic aside first.Not only should it be thrown away now, it is best not to mention it in the future.

Nima, didn't the ancient times pay attention to the fact that women should not marry twice?Don't you pay attention to integrity?Why did everything change as soon as I arrived at her place? Before I knew anything, I started planning for her next home.

Things at home were pretty busy, and the three of them started planning to set up a stall to sell rice tofu.

The folding tables and chairs are all ready, and the small charcoal stove is also ready.The rest is to prepare broken rice, seasonings, and buy bowls, chopsticks and spoons.

Another thing is the staple food with rice tofu.The best ones are of course the biscuits sold in the county, but they are just starting out now, making the staple food by themselves is a bit more laborious, but the family can get an extra income.

A few days ago, when Qi Younian was repairing the tables and stools, Ye Xinyan and Jin Momo made two kinds of staple food.

One is made of cornmeal. Ye Xinyan once ate it in the northern countryside, called Tanhua.It is to mix cornmeal into a thin paste, then ferment it, add edible alkali to adjust it, then scoop it out with a spoon and pour it on the pan.Spread the corn paste on the pan naturally, cover the pot, and it will be cooked in a few minutes. When the flower is just cooked and still soft, fold it in half to form a semicircle, which is the finished flower.

This kind of tortilla, eaten while it is hot, has a soft taste and does not have the rough feeling like coarse grains at all.

The other is semi-leavened pancakes.After the dough is neutralized with edible alkali, add the soft dough and knead it repeatedly until the half-raised dough is smooth and tough.Then it is divided into small doses, wrapped with a small amount of pastry, rolled out, folded several times, made into triangular cakes, and then baked to mature.

These two kinds of food, each of them tried twice, and they were considered successful, so they began to make intensive plans to set up a stall.

At the beginning of April, the three people in the second bedroom of Qi's family woke up early. Nanny Jin and Ye Xinyan, one baked triangular sesame seed cakes, and the other boiled the rice milk ground the night before to make rice tofu.Then bring sesame seed cakes, fermented corn batter, and prepared rice tofu, as well as seasonings, dipping water, etc., and put them on the car.

As soon as the sky was bright, the family of three locked the door, rode a donkey cart, and went to the county town.

When buying things for her home and small stalls, Ye Xinyan took a good look at the place in the county seat. Qi Younian asked about the related matters of setting up a stall, and paid the money to the small official in charge of the yamen. business license.

With a fixed stall, this time they brought all the belongings of the stall and went directly to the place they were looking for.

Ye Xinyan chose a stall on a street with a lot of traffic, and the three of them set out rice tofu, dipping toppings, and triangular biscuits one by one.

In addition, a charcoal stove and a frying pan were set up, and Mammy Jin started to make corn flower stalls.

Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan set up two tables and placed stools respectively.

When everything was ready, Ye Xinyan shouted in the voice that Qi Younian and Nanny Jin had seen before: "Delicious and cheap fresh food, salty and refreshing rice tofu, crispy and crispy triangular biscuits, soft and fragrant The corn stand is blooming. Anyone who hasn’t eaten breakfast should try it, it’s a cheap and affordable breakfast.”

When they were setting up the stall, there were people watching from far and near. At this time, they heard this dark-faced young daughter-in-law yelling, "Eh, Ye Xinyan, as the spoiled eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, her appearance is still quite eye-catching in this small place. It's all paint and powder, but she can only tan herself and do some ugly things...

Hearing Ye Xinyan's yelling, someone asked, "What do you sell?... Rice tofu? I've never heard of such a food."

Ye Xinyan quickly answered, "It's rice tofu. It's a fresh food. It's delicious and cheap. It's just a big bowl of three Wenqian. Our toppings are also fragrant and delicious. Would you like to try it? Our little one There is also a staple food with rice tofu at the stall, which is cheap and you can choose two kinds.”

Some people shook their heads and walked away, while others poked their heads to see how big the big bowl Ye Xinyan said was. After looking at it, it was indeed not a small bowl.

Since people came to see it, they were hesitating whether to eat it or not.

Ye Xinyan persuaded: "We are opening for business today, why don't you sit down and have a taste? We will give you a discounted price, a bowl of rice tofu for two yuan, what do you think?"

The price reduction was discussed by Ye Xinyan and the others. Rice tofu is a fresh food, so people have to taste it on the first day so that more people can come to eat it.

The man was a little moved, "How do you sell your staple food?"

Ye Xinyan replied straightforwardly: "Triangle biscuits cost two cents each, and corn cakes cost one cent. If you eat them, we will accept you for one penny. Do you think it will work?"

　I’m embarrassed to say it, but if it’s important, I should say it a few more times: Thank you for your recommendations, favorites and clicks. It’s an expensive place to start for the first time. Thank you for your help. I will write carefully next time. I hope that book friends can continue to support.

　　Thanks again.
