Chapter 14

Wei Ying saw Shen Ji smacking her lips while weaving a lucky knot, and she could hear her smacking sound when she listened carefully.Can't help laughing: "Sister Ji, what are you thinking about delicious food again?" This sister Ji can cook and is also a foodie.He cares so much about eating, but he doesn't take it very seriously.If you have this reaction, you must be thinking about something delicious.

Faced with Wei Ying's narrow smile, Shen Ji hurriedly put away his reverie, "Oh, it's nothing, I just thought that I haven't eaten soy milk with fried dough sticks for a long time. Master, if we live in the town, we can sell more things, and You don’t need to carry so many things every three days to go to the market. People in the town spend more money than people in the village.” People in the village are basically self-sufficient. If you go to the city, you can earn a lot of money by selling breakfast .

Aunt Wei was cutting fabrics nearby, and said, "What are you selling?"

Shen Ji took the opportunity to put down his work to be lazy, pointing his fingers and said: "Well, let's start from the morning, we can sell soybean milk fried dough sticks, steamed buns and steamed buns, and I can cook many kinds of porridge. Then I sell fish at noon Ball soup, other snacks can also be made, and even a night market can be set up at night.”

Wei Ying thought for a moment, "It's not as good as you think. Although the town is better than the village, there are still a lot of people who come out to buy food. What you are talking about, unless you go to a bigger place, such as the capital or In a place like Hua'an Mansion, if you rent a small shop, or simply set up a stall before, more people will come to buy it."

Aunt Wei nodded. The business is not bad if you go to the town once every three days, but it is not so good if you set up a stall every day.Moreover, the cost of going to the town to live and rent a house is not small, and there is a lot of money now.

Shen sent an "oh".This is also the reason, people nowadays are not as many as modern people.The spare money in their hands is not as much as modern people, and most people are quite frugal.

At this moment, the three of them were chatting after dinner.Generally, the fish balls will be made the next day after the market, which is better for preservation.Er Gouzi will also deliver the fish tomorrow, so tonight is the time to make good luck and gather for the temple fair to sell.Then, Aunt Wei cut Shen Ji’s new clothes, and seeing that she had already knitted about thirty of them, she asked her to go over and teach her the basic stitches.

The clothes worn by the villagers are mostly coarse cloth woven by themselves, and the colors are also very single.A new suit may not necessarily be made in a year.Aunt Wei is doing embroidery and selling, that's why she buys silk and colored threads.Moreover, Shen Ji noticed that the clothes Wei Ying wore were not coarse cloth, which was quite different from that of the villagers.I can't help but think of the distinction between long-sleeves and short-sleeves that Kong Yiji insisted on.At that time, she even snickered, she was so poor that Aunt Wei really regarded her son as a young master.

But later I saw that the villagers respected Wei Ying as a scholar, and they were polite when they occasionally came to ask for a letter or write a banner for a happy event.It is true that everything is inferior, only reading is high.Shen Ji couldn't help but think of the bitterness of looking for a job after graduating from a bachelor's degree, like begging for alms.At first she thought that what Wei Ying said about him writing letters to earn money was referring to this, but later she found out that was not the case.When people from the village came to him, he didn't charge money, and at most he accepted food brought by others.He wrote letters for others in the town behind Aunt Wei's back, taking advantage of the opportunity to buy or borrow books in the town every few days.Therefore, there are not many opportunities.

As for the village, firstly, there are not many people, and secondly, if the people who study with him know about it, they will say that he has a copper stink.

As for the academy he's going to this time, it's much better than the private school he's attending now.The teacher is a failed candidate, much better than the gentleman in the village who can read a little.Wei Ying used to go there to borrow books and copy them back, and Mr. Na liked him very much.It just so happened that I saw him writing letters on behalf of him on the street, and his handwriting and literary talent were both good.He wanted him to study in the academy, but was delayed by the illness.

At this moment, seeing Wei Ying immersed in reading, Aunt Wei asked Shen Ji to go out to the main room to learn needlework.This has to be said for a while, and it will affect Ying'er's reading.Moreover, there is no shortage of lamp oil for that little bit of lighting now.

When Shen Ji was selling fish ball soup today, he also took a look at the embroidery that Mrs. Wei sold. Most of them were exquisite purses, with some flowers and birds embroidered on them, which were lifelike.

Shen Ji had no foundation at all in the past, which made Aunt Wei a little puzzled, but she didn't say much.He taught some basic stitches and color matching very carefully, and then sent Shen a small flower stretcher and a small piece of silk for practice, which were leftovers from tailoring, and let her try to embroider. A handkerchief.

Shen Ji practiced very seriously, while Aunt Wei made new clothes for her.Not long after Shen Ji arrived at Wei's family, Wei Ying's illness gradually recovered, and the family's financial situation also began to improve, so Aunt Wei really believed that she was a lucky star in her heart.The new clothes are also made with great care, even if they are not as good as those made for Wei Ying, they are not worse than the embroidery work for sale.

Shen sent his lustful pairing to Aunt Wei, who was a little dissatisfied, but let her go.

"Sister Ji, I'm afraid the black sesame seeds have cooled down, so go and put them away. It won't be good if left for a long time."

"Oh."

This time when going to the market, Aunt Wei bought some black sesame seeds and asked Shen Ji to fry them for her when she was cooking dinner.Shen Ji went to the kitchen, packed it in a sealed jar according to Aunt Wei's instructions, and showed it to her.

Aunt Wei reached out and grabbed a small handful and put it directly into her mouth, "Well, it's very fragrant, you can eat a little too."

Seeing her chewing directly, Shen Ji followed suit, and it was quite delicious.

"Sister Ji, your hair is yellow and short. I can't even do a slightly more complicated hairstyle for you. I can only grab it in the back of my head like this. If you have nothing to do, just grab a handful and eat it. After a while, your hair will change. It's dark and bright."

Shen Ji was taken aback, it turned out that it was prepared for himself.Although I know that it is because I can earn money for the Wei family and pay for Wei Ying to study, so Aunt Wei treats me well.But seeing her seriously making new clothes for herself, as well as the black sesame seeds, her heart still couldn't help but feel hot.

She fell into this place inexplicably, and she didn't have a good life in the first place. She was sold directly to bury her father and became a little slave.In fact, I have always been a little unhappy in my heart, but I just have to endure it in order to survive.On weekdays, seeing Mrs. Wei greeting and caring for Wei Ying, she often has hot eyes and thinks of her modern mother.Now that Aunt Wei cared about her, she couldn't help being moved.

However, if you are moved, you can still be redeemed.At that time, at most, after she and the Wei family have changed from a master-servant relationship to a cooperative relationship, she will think of ways to make them make more money.

The can of black sesame seeds was placed in the kitchen, and when Shen Ji was working, he would grab some and throw it into his mouth to chew.In fact, next time you can grind it into black sesame paste and eat it.She thought as she put the jar back.The soup base of fish ball soup is boiling in the pot, giving off an attractive aroma.Just as she was walking back, she noticed that there seemed to be someone in a gap in the kitchen wall.
