Chapter 15 Negotiation

Chapter 15 Negotiation ([-])

She changed her position to block the view from that side, and then continued to put the seasoning.On the other hand, debone the fish, and then mash the fish meat and make balls.Turning around and telling Aunt Wei about this, the latter said angrily, "These people are really hateful."

"Auntie, people from the village, let's cover up the gap and pretend not to know. In fact, the key to making food depends on the feeling of the person who makes it. You can't see it this way." Shen Ji advised.

"I remember that when I first settled here, the woman in Lizheng came to my door to learn from my embroidery work. Of course, I couldn't teach her the most important things, but I couldn't offend her, otherwise I had to get stuck when applying for household registration. I had no choice but to teach her some things, but she felt that we should teach her any money-making methods we have."

Aunt Wei paused for a moment and continued: "The luck knot was taught to them. We didn't even sell it in the market, and we talked bitterly all the way. We are still poor, and we haven't made a fortune, so she is jealous again. Sister Ji, please watch. If it wasn’t for Ying’er’s recovery, she would end up soon. She came to ask you how to make fish ball soup in the morning. Maybe she would force me to sell you to her. "

That would really be a tool for making money, and it was not as easy as working in the Wei family.Shen Ji didn't want to be sold to Li Zheng's house at all.It turns out that it is good to have a scholar in the family.Shen Ji didn't dare to think that Wei Ying just spent money and made no contribution.It turns out that they sell fish ball soup like this, and earning two taels of silver a month by hard work still attracts people's envy.

"Even now that land is expensive, ten taels of silver can buy an acre of good farmland. Of course, two taels of silver a month is not a small number. A strong laborer who works early and late every day will not succeed if he doesn't work for two or three days. It’s only two taels of silver when the moon is full, and it’s the backbone of the whole family.”

Shen Ji calculated that if she saved two taels of silver a month, she could save two hundred wen, so that she could redeem herself in one year.At that time, she will also find a way to buy three acres of land and start a female household, even if she has taken root.You don't have to buy a good farmland, it's enough to save a dozen taels.Life is still very exciting!

"Auntie, I took a look. There are too many white radishes at home, and we can't eat them all. We will peel them, cut them into strips and marinate them, and then sell them with fish ball soup. A bowl costs one or two pennies, it should be OK."

Aunt Wei nodded, "Well, you can do it. If you are too busy, call me."

"Yeah, then I'll wash the radishes." Shen Ji picked two big and round radishes and put them in a basket to the river to wash.Thinking of the small days when Nongfushanquan had a little field, I think it is still very beautiful.She believes she can manage her life well with hard work.It's just that life is booming, and someone needs to support it.Otherwise, if something happens to your head, there is nothing you can do about it.An upright woman dares to run amok in the village.

I hope Wei Ying can go to high school.Shen Ji felt that Wei Ying would not be the kind of master who would turn his face and deny anyone once he gained power, and he had a little affection for the Wei family.As long as he keeps in touch with him in the future and asks him for anything, it should be fine for him to write a letter to the local respectable people to take care of him.

Ergouzi and a few friends were having a water fight in the water, and when they saw Jijie, they greeted her.Shen Ji took a closer look, the few people they were playing with, without Li Zheng's nephew, and thinking about Aunt Wei's words, he knew what he had said.

After washing the radishes, Shen Ji cut them into strips, dehydrated them with salt, and then pickled them.

The next day was a big day for the Wei family.Wei Ying is going to the academy in the town.Early in the morning, Shen Ji saw that he was being driven to town by Second Uncle Wang, wearing the new clothes he had worn twice, along with his books and luggage.

"Mom, you have to take good care of yourself while I'm away. Unfortunately, you won't be able to eat the dishes cooked by Sister Ji." The academy is more than 20 miles away from the village, and going back and forth every day is too much work and time-consuming.Therefore, Wei Ying can only live in the academy.

Shen Ji brought some pickled radishes and put them in cans.Tried it yesterday, it was very refreshing and appetizing.It's a pity that nothing can be stored for a long time in summer, otherwise you can bring more food.Seeing that for the past month, Wei Ying has grown flesh on her face from being fed by herself, and her smile is a bit brighter than the bright sunshine outside, she actually still has a sense of accomplishment.

"In the future, when we go to the market, my aunt and I will bring fish ball soup to the young master, as well as other food."

"Okay, you can remember."

"En." Shen Ji is now looking forward to Wei Ying's high school, so that she can support her in the future, and of course he has to curry favor with her.Wei Ying went to the academy to register as a class transfer, and there are eight months to go before the college entrance examination, sir, it is not easy to accept people.I heard that Mr. appreciates him very much.So it looks like he should have the strength to pass the exam.In short, relying on him, her fish ball soup can continue to be sold smoothly.In the future, if she wants to be a small landlady, she will also rely on his support.

"Master, I am very optimistic about you." Shen Ji said sincerely.You must pass the exam.

Wei Ying glanced at her, then stretched out his hand to stroke her hair-sparing head, "Well, this is similar to Mr. Pei's tone. If you want to read the books in my room, take them and read them, and remember not to wrinkle them. Just do it."

"Well, thank you, young master." Shen Ji, in the spirit of living and learning, asked Wei Ying a lot about the customs, and occasionally borrowed an easy-to-understand book to read.This helps her localization process.

Just like that, the life of the Wei family gradually became better. Shen Ji's fish ball soup was sold until October, and she had already saved [-] Wen.Counting it, Mrs. Wei should have five or six taels of spare money in her hand when she goes out to pay.Today, her small stall has added pork bone vermicelli soup with cabbage, potato cakes, and her famous pickled radish, and her small business is still good.

The varieties she chooses are all cheap and easy to make.Pork bone soup is what they add every time they go to the market to sell meat. The vermicelli is also homemade with rice noodles. As for the potatoes and radishes, they are from Aunt Wei's private plot.Because the Wei family's mother and son and Shen Ji are not good at farm work, and there is a lot of work in the family now, Aunt Wei simply rented out the three acres of land she left to plant, and planted radishes, potatoes and cabbage in the back of the house.There are now [-] old hens laying eggs in the family, and they can pick up [-] to [-] eggs every day.

Wei Ying is about to leave the exam, and every time he goes to the market to bring him food, Shen Ji pays attention to nutrition.The soup is often sent along with the meals.Now that the weather is cold, food can be put away. Wei Ying asked her to make more and send it each time. He asked a helper to warm it up in the kitchen of the academy.He said that his tongue was stung by Shen's foster care, and he didn't like the meals provided by the academy.This way, you don't have to pay for a meal.

On this day, Shen Ji sold out his things and closed the stall.Because it was a little later than usual, Aunt Wei was going to buy cotton to make a cotton coat for Wei Ying and Shen Ji, so she asked Shen Ji to deliver food to Wei Ying alone.

In the past, the two of them used to go together, but Shen Ji could find a place to put the soup pot and the bamboo drawer for food in the back basket, and then she set off for the academy.
