I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 32 Unbalanced Heart

With a crisp snap, Boss Ning froze on the spot, raised his head blankly, and stared at Ning Pengpeng.

If this was Ning Laosi's handsome face, Ning Pengpeng wouldn't think anything of it. After all, Ning Lao Si is lazy, but he looks pleasing to the eye!
As for Boss Ning's face, although he was only in his early twenties, he had a beard. With such a face, and staring at him with such eyes, Ning Pengpeng felt a little nauseous.

"Okay, just talk if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say. I thought you were the boss before, so I pampered you and spoiled you. I am willing to be that old lady. Now, you and your daughter-in-law can just be honest and don't act like monsters. I What to ask, what to answer, or where to call and where to go!"

Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, a look of embarrassment flashed across Ning Youfu's face.

However, he stood up obediently and did not dare to act like a monster again.

"Mother, didn't you always buy brown sugar from my father-in-law's shop when you made pastries? Now, my third brother hasn't bought brown sugar for a long time! Is the pastry mixed with sugarcane water?"

Ning Pengpeng glanced at Boss Ning, seeing him looking at her nervously, but his mind turned.

"Yeah, that brown sugar is so expensive, I just found out that this sugarcane water is sweet when you drink it like this, filter it several times with that white gauze, and use it in pastries, it is much sweeter than using that brown sugar.

The most important thing is that the brown sugar is so expensive, and there are too many impurities in it, so it needs to be melted and filtered.

Anyway, it has to be turned into sugar water and filtered, I might as well use this sugarcane water!
However, it is a pity that although sugar cane is cheap, it has a time slot.

When the sugar cane is out of the market, I have to buy that expensive brown sugar to make pastries again! "

Speaking of this, Ning Pengpeng sighed, expressing helplessness.

After hearing this, Ning Youfu felt a lot relieved.

"Mother, how did you come up with the idea of ​​squeezing sugar cane water?"

"It's so simple. You go to the stream to wash the sheets a few times, and you will know how to squeeze the sugar cane water! I also tried to do it, but I didn't expect it to be done.

If the brown sugar from your father-in-law's house wasn't so expensive, I wouldn't have racked my brains to come up with such a solution. "

Hearing his mother's complaints, Ning Youfu couldn't help but blushed.

In fact, he did know the purchase price of the brown sugar, but it was only sixty yuan a catty, but when he sold it to his own mother, he didn't drop the price for even half a cent.

Even if his mother didn't know how much money he earned, Ning Youfu still couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Mother, my father-in-law has always wanted to know how to make this sugarcane water since he knew that you made money by making this pastry and that sugarcane water. Yesterday he quietly called Mrs. Liu and privately ordered her to come to the house to find out some.

It's just that my mother-in-law was sensible and told me about it.

That's why my son accompanied Mrs. Liu back to visit you.

Mother, no matter how miserable my son is, he is also the son of the Ning family. You always think of the Ning family, so you don't have to be on guard against me like a thief, it will only make your son feel sad. "

Ning Youfu finished speaking in a half-truthful manner, with a lonely expression on his face.

Ning Pengpeng did not expect that the Liu Wang family would have such a heart. After all, in a patriarchal society, she dared to risk being blamed by her husband and secretly asked Ning Youfu to tell her her husband's concern for the Ning family's money. Fang Zi thought about it.

Ning Pengpeng felt a little admiration for her.

"I'll tell you all the news I want to inquire now! As for whether you want to tell your father-in-law, that's up to you."

Without the blueprint of the ramming car, even if Liu Wangcai knew the general principle, it would definitely not take a day or two to reproduce it completely!
For such a crisis, Ning Pengpeng already had a countermeasure.

After all, sometimes a crisis can turn into an opportunity.

"Of course, if your father-in-law wants to participate, I don't mind."

However, Ning Youfu had already given up his mind when Ning Pengpeng said that the sugarcane water was seasonal.

He reckoned that his father-in-law hadn't thought of this either.

If only when the sugarcane is on the market, can the sugarcane water be squeezed and sold.

The input is not directly proportional to the output. After all, when Uncle Lin talked with him just now, he said that in order to squeeze the sugar cane water, many mothers not only spent money to hire someone to make a pulper, but also bought a cow back. , specially used for squeezing sugarcane water.

These alone cost dozens of taels of silver!
Moreover, it is impossible for one ramming cart to be enough. If you buy a few more cows and a few more pulsing carts, it is estimated that hundreds of taels of silver will disappear.

If the Liu family also started the business of selling sugarcane water in the town, they would have to buy sugarcane fields again.

Although it is not expensive, it is money!
The most important point is that there is only one season to do business in four seasons of the year, but with so much investment, how much can you earn back just by selling sugarcane water?
Of course, you can also take advantage of that season to make cakes and sell things that require sugar like your mother.

But this pastry is not something you can make if you want to, right?

If you want to buy a prescription, you have to spend money.

Money goes out like flowing water, and the speed at which it can be earned back must not be as fast as the speed at which it is spent.

Therefore, based on Ning Youfu's understanding of his father-in-law, he would definitely not make such a risky business.

After all, all of this still requires the entire Anzhen to be sold by the Liu family alone.

But the whole Dahuaishu Village has tasted the sweetness of selling sugarcane water this year.

How could such earning be missed next year? If a large number of people selling sugarcane water poured into An Township, with such a small population, how much could the Liu family earn?
It's not worth it, it's not worth it, it's not worth it no matter what!

In the kitchen, Mrs. Wang was just putting the pastry on the pot to steam, when she saw her sister-in-law Liu came in from the door.

"Oh, so it's my sister-in-law! It's so rare, what kind of east wind brought you to this countryside?"

These days, the gradually bulging purse made Wang's back straighten a lot.

The belly that was already pregnant pushed it out forcefully, and the obsequious smile that was always on Liu's face was swept away, but he looked at Liu who was looking around with a half smile and said.

"Third brother and sister, look at your belly, it must have been five months? Hey, seeing you and your second brother and sister working hard in this kitchen, it hurts to think about it. By the way, has mother taught you all about pastries?
How do you do it, I'm still curious! "

Mrs. Liu wanted to pooh Mrs. Wang in her heart, but thinking of the purpose of her visit this time, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she stepped forward to hold Mrs. Wang's hand, talking with something in her heart, while looking at the work Mrs. Qian was doing. look.

Especially seeing Qian Shi, Liu Shi felt quite unbalanced.

It's clear that the family is separated, why did the mother-in-law tell the second and third children the recipe for making pastries?

It's clear, put their big house aside!
