Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 18 Finding ways to make money

Qiao Yan swallowed her saliva looking at the sizzling fried meat in the pot and said, "My lord, this fried meat smells really good."

Jing Yi said: "The lard from this fatty pork can be used for cooking in the future. Qiao Yan, you have to learn how to cook well, and you will be the cook at home from now on."

Qiao Hong said: "Little sister, you have to learn it well. There is no one who asks you to cook, and you have to take over the work in the kitchen. After you learn how to cook from the young master, you can't let the young master into the kitchen again." .”

Qiao Yan nodded, "I will definitely learn from my son. From now on, I will leave the work in the kitchen to me."

The fried lard Jingyi was placed in a clay pot, and the oil residue was fished out and placed in a bowl for later use.

Jing Yi dug a few bowls of noodles and started kneading them, "Today I'll make pancakes for you. Qiao Yan learns."

Today they brought back some wild vegetables from the field. The three of them washed the wild vegetables and blanch them in boiling water, then chopped them up for later use.

Fortunately, this world already has scallions, which are indispensable for cooking.Jing Yi chopped some scallions, mixed the chopped wild vegetables and oil residue together, put scallions, some lard and salt on it.I don't want to put any other seasoning.

Then Jingyi pulled the reconciled noodles into dough pieces, rolled a piece of dough into dough sheets, wrapped the mixed fillings in it, pressed them into dough cakes and baked them in a pan.

The pan has just finished frying the oily residue, and there is still a lot of oil, which is just right for baking pies.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to turn on a low fire, and soon the pie was baked with charred outside and tender inside.

The large iron pan is big enough to bake several pies in one pan.One pan of pie comes out on a plate and a second pan is baked.

Liu Shi also smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen, "What are you doing so fragrant?"

Seeing her mother, Jing Yi smiled and said, "Mother, we are making pies, we can eat them in a while."

Soon the pie was baked, and Jing Yi made another wild vegetable egg soup.

There are not many kinds of vegetables in this world, maybe they haven't been discovered yet, but there are quite a lot of wild vegetables that can be eaten.What's more, Jing Yi is a wood-type supernatural being, so she can completely judge whether plants are poisonous and edible.

Soon Jing Yi asked Qiao Yan to bring pies and soup to the table in the main room, and then shared some pies and soup with the brothers and sisters for them to eat in their own rooms.

After all, brother and sister Qiao Hong were her servants, so it was inappropriate to eat at the same table with them.

The Qiao Hong brothers and sisters were very touched when they saw that their young master gave them the same food as their master. They felt that they did the right thing by selling themselves to the young master. Otherwise, where would they find such a good master?
Qiao Hong looked at his sister's delicious food and said, "Yan'er, you have to learn how to cook well, and take over the work in the kitchen from the young master as soon as possible. How can a young master, a male master, come into the kitchen to cook. We will discuss the family affairs in the future." Be diligent, don't disappoint the kindness of the young master. It is a great blessing for us to meet such a good master."

Qiao Yan said: "Brother, I understand that as servants, we should abide by our duties as servants. We are lucky to be able to be together, and the son and wife are so kind to us."

Jing Yi and her mother sat in front of the table in the main room, Jing Yi put a pie in her mother's bowl, "Mother, try the pie I made."

Liu Shi looked at the pie in the bowl and said, "I've never eaten this before, it looks very good."

She tasted it even better, and nodded in surprise, "Well, it tastes really good, delicious."

Jing Yi poured another bowl of egg soup for her mother, "Mom, we spent a lot on building a house and buying things at home. I don't have much money in my hand. I want to go to the town or the county to see what can make money." It’s autumn now, and we have to buy winter clothes and thick quilts before the weather gets cold. We also need to prepare firewood and charcoal.”

Mrs. Liu nodded, "What you're saying is that these cotton-padded clothes and quilts are not cheap. Go to the county town and buy some needles, thread and fabrics for your mother, who can do embroidery and sell them. The four of us in the family can't sit and eat."

After eating a delicious dinner and lying on the comfortable bed at night, Jing Yi felt at ease.At least here you won't face the danger of being hunted down.

A good night's sleep Jingyi got up early in the morning and went out for a run in a bunt.When she came back, Qiao Yan had already boiled hot water and made a simple breakfast.

Jing Yi took a shower in the bathroom and then had breakfast with her mother.

During this period of time, because Jing Yi has been combing and tempering her body with supernatural powers, not only her physical fitness has been greatly improved, but her height has also grown a lot.Now Jing Yi has a height of 1.6 meters five.This is considered high among ancient women.

After breakfast, Jing Yi tidied up and said, "Mom, I'm going to visit the town today, and let Qiao Hong and his sister accompany you."

Mrs. Liu said: "Let Qiao Hong go with you. If there is anything on the way, there will be someone to take care of you. We will be fine at home with the door closed."

Jing Yi thought for a while and nodded, "Okay then, let Qiao Hong follow me to see the world and get acquainted with the surrounding situation."

Jing Yi took Qiao Hong out to the town.

During this period of time, she has been commuting between Yunxi Village and Huidong Town, and she is already very familiar with the road between them.

The two of them walked for more than half an hour before reaching the town.Jing Yi thought that she must buy a carriage in the future, she didn't want to walk back and forth.

When she arrived in the town, Jing Yi first inquired with others to find the only showroom in the town, and then Jing Yi bought some needles, thread and fabrics for her mother.

She doesn't expect her mother to earn money by doing embroidery, but she hopes that her mother will have something to do so that she won't be bored every day.

There is only one main street in Huidong Town. There is a restaurant on the street, and there are shops such as medical clinics, grocery stores, and grain stores.Although the town is not too prosperous, it is not bad.

Jing Yi went to the medical center to inquire. The medical center not only sees patients and sells medicines, but also accepts herbal medicines.Jing Yi also asked the approximate purchase price of some herbal medicines, and she had a good idea.

Although herbs are more expensive, Jing Yi doesn't know if there are many herbs in the nearby mountains, and selling herbs is not a long-term solution.

Jing Yi knew Huidong Town better, so she hired a carriage and took Qiao Hong to the county town.After all, the county seat is larger, and there should be more ways to make money.

From Huidong Town to Hui'an County, even the official road that Jingyi took was quite bumpy. This ancient carriage has wooden wheels and no shock-absorbing equipment. Walking on the road can shake people's bones.

After finally entering the county seat, Jing Yi got off the carriage and moved around for a while before getting better.

She didn't go anywhere else, and took Qiao Hong directly into the largest restaurant in the county.There is a lack of food in this era. She wants to see what is delicious in this place.Maybe in the future she can cooperate with restaurants or sell some recipes to earn some money.

It takes too much energy to open a restaurant by herself. She has no plans to do so now. She wants to earn some money to buy some fields and grow some food and cash crops.
