The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 17 adds new items

At night, Jiang Hui was sitting at the table writing. Shen Yunniang looked at her and said, "What were you doing during the day? You studied here at night. Did you go out to play secretly again?"

"No." Jiang Hui shook his head, "I've been at home all day and haven't gone out anywhere."

Shen Yunniang took Jiang Hui's book and looked at it, "Tomorrow you will write five hundred more words."

"No, no!" Jiang Hui shook his head repeatedly.

After Shen Yunniang checked Jiang Hui's homework, she came to Jiang Shiyi's room. Jiang Shiyi heard Shen Yunniang's footsteps and quickly picked up the embroidery bag and pretended to embroider a few stitches.

Shen Yunniang looked at her daughter's embroidery and felt a little headache, "Why haven't you finished embroidering this leaf in the past few days? What are you doing at home?"

Jiang Shiyi felt a little guilty, "I embroider every day! I also clean the house and cook for you."

Shen Yunniang took it over and taught her a few stitches carefully, "You must finish the embroidery for me tomorrow. I want to check it."

"Mom, I don't like embroidery!"

"If you don't like embroidery, what can you do in the future? If a woman doesn't know how to make clothes, her husband's family will look down upon her!"

Jiang Shiyi turned around, "Mom, what did you say? I don't want to embroider, I just like cooking."

"To prepare meals, we need to be able to embroider flowers..." Shen Yunniang's tone became serious.

Jiang Shiyi embroidered a few more stitches, and Shen Yunniang patted her head angrily, "Why are you so stupid! Your hands are like mallets, and you can't teach me how to do it."

Shen Yunniang sighed inwardly. Her daughter couldn't do anything. She had raised her too squeamishly. At worst, she would have to work harder as a mother in the future.

When Shen Yunniang came out, she gave her another silver coin, "I see that there is nothing at home. You go and buy some, and you can buy snacks with the remaining money!"

Jiang Shiyi was happy with the money in his hand, "Mom, you are the best to me!"

Shen Yunniang scolded her and went back to the house. Being a cook was also a very hard job.

After Shen Yunniang left, Jiang Shiyi lay down on the bed to settle the accounts. After taking out the costs in these few days, she also earned more than a tael of silver, but it was really not enough for her to buy all kinds of seasonings!

Jiang Shiyi thought for a while, and in order to increase her income, she couldn't just sell cold skin. In this season, it would be great if there were sour plum soup and cold skin sold together!
In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Shiyi made sour plum soup with the ingredients bought from the drugstore, and put a lot of sugar in it.

In ancient times, sugar was a rare thing. No matter what, there must be enough ingredients inside. Only by making things well can you attract more repeat customers.

Moreover, Jiang Shiyi also discovered that the Xicheng District where he lived was not very poor. Some wealthy businessmen and petty officials lived here. There were often little maids in bright clothes carrying food boxes to buy food. He had to think of a way to do this. These people’s business.

Jiang Shiyi tried making a few portions of colorful cold skin. The recipe of colorful cold skin is the same as that of cold skin, except that spinach and carrot juice is put in it. It just looks good.

On the first day, only five servings of Wucai Liangpi were made, and they were all bought by a little maid. There was also a little maid who was holding a food box and pouting. Her girl had a bad appetite these days, so she wanted to buy them back to make her happy. Woolen cloth.

In the afternoon, the little maid who bought colorful cold skin came over again and said that the young lady at home wanted to treat the little sisters to dinner and asked her if she could make more tomorrow.

Jiang Shiyi nodded and said yes! A few days later, Jiang Shiyi discovered a new problem.

For example, in the homes of wealthy businessmen, the little maids would bring food boxes and bowls by themselves. Similar to neighbors like Mr. Chen, who had a large family, they would simply come over with vegetable basins and pack them, and if there were others nearby, they would bring the bowls. Take it back first, there's nothing you can do if it's farther away.

Because she couldn't take it away, she lost some customers.

It would be great if the cold noodles and sour plum soup could be taken away. Jiang Shiyi thought about it and came up with a good idea: rolling cold skin.

So what to do with sour plum soup? If only, like in the previous life, those ladies held paper cups in their hands and chewed straws, that would be great!
"You can use bamboo tubes." Jiang Hui said.

Jiang Shiyi's eyes lit up, but then he thought, the sour plum soup can be packed in a bamboo tube, but what about the straw?

Jiang Hui held some green reed pipes in his hand, "I wonder if this will work?"

Jiang Shiyi held a small bamboo tube with a small opening on it, then inserted the green reed tube into it, and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Hui took it and said, "It tastes really good, sour and sweet!"

Jiang Shiyi gave him another drink. Jiang Hui waved his hand and said obediently, "Sell for money!"

Calculated in this way, a bamboo tube cost one penny, which was added to the cost of sour plum soup. A cup cost four pence, and many people bought it. Even in ancient times, ice was a bit expensive.

Manager Chen stood aside and looked at the small stall. The green bamboo tube was placed in the ice basin with a layer of water vapor on it. It was pleasing to the eye and extremely cool.

An aunt with a child pointed and said, "I want both."

Jiang Shiyi rolled out a piece of cold skin, brushed it with red chili oil, mixed cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, pickled beans, bean sprouts, and gluten in a small pot, and then rolled it up. Put it on the washed lotus leaf, then tie a beautiful knot, and then take out a bamboo tube of iced sour plum soup and hand it to the child, "Eat it quickly after you take it back!"

"How much is the total?"

"It costs six cents to roll cold skin and four cents to make sour plum soup!"

The aunt put the copper coins in the wooden box next to her and took the child away happily.

"You have so many tricks up your sleeve!" Manager Chen couldn't help but admire, "Your Liangpi is now famous!"

"Give me one portion first! No, give me four portions!" Manager Chen was still thinking about his little girlfriend, so he gave her this rolled cold skin and iced sour plum soup. His little girlfriend would definitely be very happy. Besides, my little girlfriend is not alone at home, and she also has nieces and nephews, so she brings her there and the whole family is happy.

"I'll give you one as a gift!" Jiang Shiyi said.

"No need." Manager Chen waved his hand, and Jiang Shiyi gave him a copy anyway, "Thank you! Brother Chen, you have helped us a lot!"

"What are you talking about? We, the people of Yanjing, need to help each other!"

Jiang Shiyi couldn't help but feel a little moved. It turned out that the ancients also had feelings! Agent Chen studied in his early years and later became a broker, doing business in buying and selling houses, renting houses, and taking them to the government office to do paperwork. He not only helped their siblings, but also helped many people.

After adding the business of rolled cold skin and sour plum soup, Jiang Shiyi spent most of the day. In order not to let Shen Yunniang find out, she had to get up early in the morning to cook. At night, after Shen Yunniang fell asleep, she would secretly run to the side room, Working with Jiang Hui on making these materials, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to sleep.

On this afternoon, Jiang Shiyi and Jiang Hui were washing dishes, chopsticks and vegetables in the side room. When she came out, she found that Shen Yunniang had returned.

Fortunately, Shen Yunniang didn't notice and even helped her make dinner.

"Why don't Hui'er come over for dinner?" Shen Yunniang asked as she set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"I'll call you!" Jiang Shiyi hurried out.

Shen Yunniang refused to let her go, "I'll go! Let me see what this little guy is doing at home?"
