Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 146 Autumn is coming
Therefore, in her letter, Li Xiao not only wanted to trouble Ouyang Yiyun to take good care of Zhuangzi, but also wanted him to leave some good potatoes and sweet potato seeds for her Zhuangzi. Of course, wheat, beams, and beans are also needed. He said he would pay the market price.

Ouyang Yiyun: Am I the one who is short of money?As long as you care about me a few more words in your letter, I will give you everything you want!
Li Xiao didn't know that Ouyang Yiyun had already bought Zhuangzi. He was afraid that Ouyang Yiyun would think that she was urging him. He also specifically explained that they would not move until early September at the earliest. By the time they reached the capital, it would be mid-September at the earliest, so it was slow. Take your time to search, don’t rush.

Ouyang Yiyun is not in a hurry anymore about Zhuangzi. He has already bought it, so why is he in a hurry?What he is anxious about now is how to pursue his wife after he comes to Beijing.

Oh, it’s so sad to look at a little girl who’s not yet enlightened!

After worrying about himself for a moment, Ouyang Yiyun comforted himself, and then resurrected with full blood and went to work as a dog and horse for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao said that if he wanted more seeds, it would be better for Xinzhuangzi to plant them himself instead of keeping the others.

It will be July in two days, so we should seize the time to tidy up the village and plant some beams to save seeds.It’s not too late to plant potato seeds and sweet potatoes in late July or early August.

As for the wheat, you can pack up the village first, wait until Xiaoxiao's family comes to settle down, and then plant it in October. You can prepare the seeds in advance.

Soybeans are even simpler. The farmer harvests the beans and leaves some for her.

Li Xiao didn't know yet that not long after she sent this letter, her Zhuangzi, her Zhuangzi's seeds, and her Zhuangzi's land had all been clearly arranged.She is now making pre-exam recipes for her eldest brother.

In the Dali calendar, Qiuwei is on August [-]th after the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are three games in total, each lasting two days, and admission is the day before each exam.

So after all calculations, there is only one and a half months until the start of autumn, and the exam is about to begin!

Li Qingsong still goes to the academy as usual every day. Before the exam, the academy often organizes some exchanges on exam subjects, and Li Qingsong participates every time.

As the saying goes, "When three people are together, there must be a teacher." Li Qingsong knew that he was a late student, so he studied harder and cherished this opportunity for communication.Only by brainstorming and learning from each other's strengths can he make his own knowledge more advanced.

Li Xiao didn't know much about the subjects of the imperial examinations in this era. She had no way to help her eldest brother in these aspects, so with nothing to do, she began to tinker with and feed Li Qingsong.

In Liuning Mansion, the temperature is still not low after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and each exam in Qiuwei lasts for two days, and students are not allowed to leave in the middle. In other words, during these two days, candidates eat, drink, and have sex.

Li Xiao had heard that many candidates with poor physical fitness were carried out before the end of the exam, and then naturally failed.

After studying hard for ten years, and then failing the exam due to physical reasons, wouldn't this be murderous and heart-breaking?
So Li Xiao planned to start with the diet before the exam to take care of his brother's body. At the same time, he also had to urge his brother to exercise properly every day.

In addition, eating during the exam period is also a big issue that needs to be considered.

The exams are held for two consecutive days, and candidates are not allowed to leave the exam room in the middle. Candidates must eat three meals a day by themselves in the exam room.

Li Qingsong told Li Xiao that in the past, candidates usually brought some rice, noodles and vegetables, and there would be oil lamps in the examination room. Candidates would use the oil lamps to cook or heat food.

However, the temperature in Liuning is high. It is convenient to bring cooked food in advance, but it is easy to spoil. If you bring fresh ingredients, cooking with an oil lamp is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to be half-cooked.This is one of the reasons why in the south, far more students are carried out of the examination room in autumn than in the north.Fortunately, vermicelli has appeared in the past few years. Li Qingsong told Li Xiao that many candidates in the college are planning to use vermicelli as their staple food and just bring some extra vegetables. Li Qingsong also plans the same.

Li Xiao didn't want her eldest brother to eat vegetable vermicelli every time, and she was also worried about the difficulty of cooking vermicelli with an oil lamp, so when Li Qingsong was at the college during the day, she would do various things at home.

She has tried to make a lot of pork jerky, pork jerky, and various dried leafy vegetables. Her family members have also eaten it several times, and the reviews are pretty good, and there has been no diarrhea or vomiting. This shows that Safety standards met.

She wanted to make beef jerky, but beef was too rare, so she had to give up.

When she thought of vermicelli, she thought of vermicelli, and then she thought of instant noodles, so she tried to make them.

Fans don’t need to worry too much, she is just suggesting that the vermicelli workshop add a finer orifice plate to the noodle extruder.

As for instant noodles, she first tried deep-frying, which was convenient but not very healthy.Considering the eldest brother's status as a candidate, Li Xiao tried steaming noodles again.After trying six times, the first five failed, and it was not until the sixth time that I barely succeeded.

As a result, Li Qingsong added a vermicelli and instant noodles to his examination room diet.

In late July, Li Xiao had another sudden idea and went to a large iron shop to get a simple charcoal oven. It took him two days and he successfully baked biscuits.

Biscuits were just snacks, and Li Xiao didn't recommend that Li Qingsong eat too much. She thought of preparing some buns, steamed buns and eggs, so that at least he could eat them safely for breakfast and lunch on the first day.Just bring some biscuits as snacks.

But now that the biscuits have been made, Li Xiao adheres to the principle of not wasting resources and naturally wants to go on the market.So soon, "Xiao Xiao Xiang Tian" launched another biscuit with multiple shapes!
At first, the biscuits were only sold in Jixiang Restaurant, and the daily limit was limited. It was not until the Mid-Autumn Festival that the daily sales began to increase.

During that time, other dim sum shops in Liuning Mansion often went to Jixiang Restaurant. In the words of the shopkeepers: You are a restaurant owner and you don’t cook well, how can you have the nerve to steal the dim sum shop’s business?

They must get a piece of the pie!

So, in early September, two dim sum shops that had always had good relations with Jixiang Restaurant began selling shaped biscuits, and Li Xiao was able to make another fortune for this. Of course, this is a story later.

After the biscuits were launched in Jixiang Restaurant at the end of July, Li Xiao stopped trying to find new foods.

We have vermicelli, instant noodles, dried meat and vegetables.During the exam, her eldest brother only had to put dried meat and vegetables into vermicelli or vermicelli, add some dried vegetables to the instant noodles, and then add an egg. Oh my, she dared to say that every meal was the most delicious in the entire examination room!
After arranging matters related to his brother's examination room, Li Xiao began to concentrate on making money again.

A kitchen specializing in making biscuits was added to the workshop, and Li Xiao, the charcoal oven owner, even made five at once. Then, after being introduced by shopkeeper Liu, he hired two chefs who were good at pasta.

By the way, Li Xiao also specially made a batch, carefully wrapped it in oil paper bags, and then put it in boxes, and then asked shopkeeper Liu to take it to the capital, saying that it was for Ouyang Yiyun to try.
