How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Every inch of land in the countryside is valuable, growing the food that farmers depend on for their survival.

If peppers don't bring them enough benefits, they won't be able to grow them just to make their own food delicious.

As a result, everyone who came to inquire about what good things their family had obtained left.

After they left, Chen Feiyan continued to eat her own.

After finishing eating, Chen Feiyan asked her two daughters-in-law. "What do you think of this food? Does it taste good?"

After saying that, Chen Feiyan said to Aunt Sun.

"Daughter-in-law, do you think that if we prepare a large pot of Malatang and sell it at the dock where your brother works, can we make money in this weather?"

After hearing this, Aunt Sun realized that her mother-in-law wanted to do business to make money.

She frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly: "Mother-in-law, I think it should be feasible."

"It's just this profit, I don't think it's very high."

"The dock where my brothers work has more than 2,000 dock workers every day. There are trackers who specialize in pulling boats, porters who specialize in carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight, and cart drivers who push wheelbarrows, and even more specialized The widow who washes and cooks for the laborers.”

"Everyone is tightening their belts to live a tight life. I think they are reluctant to spend money to buy spicy hotpot."

Chen Yixuan heard this and said with a smile: "Aren't there many merchants around the pier?"

"The Malatang we make is so fragrant and tastes so good. Those merchants will pay some money to try it no matter what. As long as you sell ten bowls a day, you will earn ten bowls of money."

Chen Feiyan quickly answered her husband's words.

"Yes, daughter-in-law, your father-in-law is right. If our family doesn't try and sit at home every day, we will definitely not make any money!"

“Only when we go out will other people know how delicious the Malatang made at our house is.”

"Daughter-in-law, which one of you is willing to help your mother-in-law and father-in-law sell a pot of spicy hotpot in the city?"

Aunt Sun was a little reluctant at first, but when she thought that after such a large pot of Malatang was transported to the city, she could quietly take out a few bowls to feed her parents and younger brothers, she smiled and said.

"I'll go, I'll go tomorrow! I'll ask my husband to go with me."

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan suddenly looked at his wife and said.

"Daughter-in-law, let me go first tomorrow. I'll say hello to my aunt and the other people in the Zhang family. I also have to meet the people in the Yamen. So that they know about this business. , I’m going to do it at the dock.”

"By the way, daughter-in-law, you will make a big pot tomorrow. I will go to the city to sell it first and see how much it can sell for. From now on, no matter who in the family goes out to sell Malatang, they will follow my order from now on. The money will be paid."

Aunt Sun felt particularly uncomfortable when she heard this.

She felt that her father-in-law was too smart and cunning to be on guard against her.

As expected, he is a scholar and has more eyes than others.

Since she was not the head of this family yet, even if Aunt Sun had any objections, she remained silent.

When Chen Feiyan saw it, she smiled.

"Master. This is a good idea."

"But in the future, our family should do more than just this kind of business. Our daily expenses are too big, and we have to pay for them in the past few years. The third, fourth, fifth, and our nephews all have a daughter-in-law. "

"Four daughters-in-law will have to spend a large amount of money as gifts to enter the house. I made a conservative estimate. The money for gifts and banquets all add up to about eight taels of silver."

"Master, if you want to take the provincial examination in three years, our family must prepare enough ten taels of silver for you."

"As a result, our family must prepare at least 20 taels of silver now."

Everyone present was shocked when they suddenly heard this astronomical figure.

Why does the family spend so much money?

Chen Feiyan saw that they were all stunned, and then said: "Our house is too small, and there is simply no room for so many people in the family." "I think we still need to build a few more new houses in the future."

"..." When Chen Yixuan thought about the huge expenditure in the future, he remained silent at this time.

Why do they still feel they are short of money even though their family has some money?

It costs money here, it costs money there.

When will their family reach a level where they can spend money whenever they want?
Chen Feiyan has long wanted to achieve financial freedom.

When the chickens, ducks and geese at home were over a year old and began to lay eggs one after another, she started to teach the whole family how to make salted eggs, salted duck eggs, and salted goose eggs.

Seeing that there were already thirteen rabbits, she killed some of them herself. She kept all the rabbit skins, and she had long since learned how to tan them herself.

Rabbit meat, she dried it into bacon.

Later, I asked my husband to take the 20 kilograms of rabbit meat to the county town and sell it, and I got cash.

During normal times, Chen Feiyan forced everyone in her family to weave linen.

Everyone is busy from morning till night.

Unknowingly, a large amount of supplies came out of the house.

……

Aunt Sun followed her husband and sold malatang in the city.

Indeed, as he had encountered at first, the Malatang business was not easy to do.

Because everyone is too poor and reluctant to spend money.

How can they be willing to spend one penny when they wish they could spend a hundred pence on it?

Even though Chen Feiyan originally set a price of two cents for a bowl of Malatang, the workers on the dock were reluctant to spend money on it.

Some people saw that there seemed to be red oil in the pot and smelled a strong and fragrant smell, so they wanted to buy a bowl and have a taste.

When Chen Feiyan saw that Malatang business was not doing well, she was helpless.

This was the situation at the bottom of ancient society. Men farmed and women weaved, and they were self-sufficient.

Because there are too many poor people, the commodity economy is particularly underdeveloped.

In addition, the transportation conditions and facilities in ancient times were very poor, and the products and specialties from various places were not very popular.

Chen Feiyan's Malatang business failed. Now she is particularly envious of the female protagonists and male protagonists in the ancient farming novels she read before.

The protagonists, both male and female, are all so capable.

By making a stewed dish, you can amaze the whole village, town and even the whole country.

Moreover, a braised vegetable recipe can easily be sold to the richest and most powerful restaurant owner in the county for dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. Some people's dim sum recipes and other cooking recipes can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

They can sell cooking recipes, why can't they sell recipes themselves?

It’s not like she’s illiterate or can’t write!
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyan went to Chen Yixuan with great interest and told him all her thoughts.

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan was stunned.

"Daughter-in-law, the kind of person you mentioned who can sell a prescription for hundreds of taels of silver absolutely cannot exist!"

"Who is the scapegoat who is willing to spend tens of taels of silver, hundreds of taels of silver, or even thousands of taels of silver or tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a cooking recipe?"

"You know, the annual salary of Magistrate Zhao of our county is forty taels of silver! It's just a cooking recipe. If the rich and powerful people are really interested, they can directly kill the people you mentioned. Tie them up with ropes and beat them half to death, lest they fail to teach the cook at home how to cook..."
