The rebirth of the sturdy and charming wife strikes

Chapter 475 Illusion (22)

Leaving the area where Liu Bansanhu lived temporarily, Gu Nuannuan was a little thankful that they had only been here for two days, because out of caution, she had been inquiring about the people in this town who could not be provoked, and she was picked by them yesterday. The first robbery object in .Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, if these three people have committed too many troubles in this area, it would be really inappropriate for her to use them clearly.

Going back to the shop in the town, Gu Nuannuan bought some things that I didn't buy for the time being because I couldn't take them with me yesterday. By the way, I bought some rice and flour, and went to the restaurant to buy two roast ducks and a few meat buns before heading back.

All the way, she ate buns to satisfy her hunger, thinking carefully about how to go down the road.

Since she decided to accept the three tigers yesterday, she had no intention of taking them back to the village for the simple reason that they were inappropriate.

Speaking of which, if she, a woman whose husband was away all the year round, suddenly bought three servants and brought them back to the village, she would have no idea what kind of sensation and gossip would be caused.Rumors are fiercer than tigers, and she doesn't want to try the feeling of being overwhelmed by rumors that obviously kill people.But it's not a problem to let them stay alone in the town.So when she decided to ask them to sign the deed of sale yesterday, she already had a vague idea.

This idea became clearer after she learned that the three of them actually had more than 500 taels of silver.She decided to open a pastry shop by herself in the town, so it was imperative to buy a house in the town, or a house with a shop in the front and a residence in the back.

She didn't intend to take Haoyang to live in the town by herself.Her idea is to directly hire Aunt Li's family to run the shops in the town, and then share with them in addition to the monthly money. I think they will be willing, right?And when the three tigers live in the town, they don't have to worry about the town's ruffians coming to make trouble.

When she got home, Gu Nuannuan knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door, but it was not Luo Haoyang but Aunt Li. She was not too surprised that Aunt Li was still here and just asked with a smile: "Auntie, where is Haoyang?"

"Fell asleep with Xiaoshizi in the room." Aunt Li helped Gu Nuannuan take the rice bag in her hand and weighed it, "Yo, what did you buy so heavy?"

"It's white rice."

"A whole bag full of white rice?" Aunt Li was obviously surprised and then scolded, "Why do you have to travel all the way to buy this white rice? Every household in our village has this stuff, so it's better to buy it than the grain shop in the town." It's cheaper than theirs, and they don't mix sand in it."

"Yeah, why did I forget this? The main reason is that when I saw them at the time, I suddenly remembered that they could be used to make rice cakes, so I really didn't think of going back to our village to buy them." Gu Nuannuan was taken aback when he heard the words, Then it suddenly came to light. When I went to the town for the past two days, I saw rice fields in the village. Naturally, every household with rice fields had rice.She was really far away.

"Hey, I can't blame you. It's your parents-in-law who are so unkind. They obviously want you to help when they cultivate the land, but when the harvest is over, they always give you and your mother a little grain to deal with the matter." Huh, don't really believe what they said about selling all the white rice. In fact, although this big white rice is precious, no one will keep a few buckets and a stone for themselves for the holidays or when guests come. Treating guests from time to time, or sometimes when you are hungry for a meal? Speaking of it, today’s emperor is kind, and he didn’t ask to pay too much exorbitant taxes. The life of the big guys who have been in good weather these years has been pretty good. Those of us with mud legs can afford this big white rice once in a while."

Is this rice expensive?If this is converted, it is probably cheaper than modern rice, so why is it so precious?

Gu Nuannuan disapproved instinctively for a moment, and then remembered that the productivity in ancient times was low. I am afraid that the output of rice is not as high as in modern times. The per capita income, especially the income of farmers, is not even close to the modern one For example, those who face the loess all the year round may be barely able to fill their stomachs, and those who eat big white rice are probably at the level of country gentry and landlords... Thinking about it this way, she sighed in her heart, and Aunt Li said that this rice is precious. That's right.

She changed her mind, recalling the idea of ​​making rice cakes into civilian food and selling them, she suddenly hesitated.It seems that I take it for granted that rice is cheap.The consumption ability of ordinary people in ancient times is obviously different from that of modern people. Even rice is precious in the eyes of farmers and can only be eaten occasionally. So can they really accept rice cakes that are bound to be more expensive than white rice?Don't make rice cakes that ordinary people can't afford, and rich people look down on them, and those that are not good or bad will be unsalable.

Maybe she can design a few unique molds, so that the same rice cake can be made into different shapes, and the price of simple and rough lumps and exquisite ones can naturally be different...

Just as she was thinking wildly, Gu Nuannuan heard Aunt Li asking curiously: "Nuannuan, what did you just say about rice cakes, can this big white rice also be used to make cakes?"

"Yes." Gu Nuannuan regained her senses and nodded. She saw that the sky outside was about one or two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it was too late to make rice cakes, so she said to Aunt Li, "Auntie, this rice cake is actually easy. Do it, how about you give me a hand, we will make it right now, just in time for us to eat at night. Well, I also bought a roast duck, so I simply stew a pot of dry rice and add two vegetables at night. Call Uncle Xu and they all come over , our two families have a meal together, and I have something to discuss with you."

Gu Nuannuan remembered that the roast duck she bought was originally intended to be given to Xu's family, but now it's better to take it out for everyone to eat together at night.

"Well, you don't need to eat together. You should save the roast duck for Haoyang. His body needs to be repaired. It's not easy for you not to miss us all the time. The two families are not heretics. Man, is there anything that needs to be discussed? You just say it, no matter what it is, we will do our best to do it if it is easy or not.”

Aunt Li shook her head as soon as she heard Gu Nuannuan's words, and looked at her reproachfully, "You, it's not good to be too narrow-minded. And this is making rice cakes, which is a skill that can be passed on to the family. If you have a daughter As long as she is taught this skill, she will definitely not dare to underestimate her even if she does not have a dowry of a copper coin in the future. Tell me, how about calling her aunt to watch from the sidelines? Anyway, it’s not bad. It will take a day and a half, let’s not be in a hurry, it’s better to wait for your aunt’s to go to your home and make it slowly at home, and it’s enough to send some to the aunt’s family to have a taste.”
