Chapter 19 College Examination ([-])

Shen Ji's roast fat sausages are loved by Wei's mother and son, including Uncle Wang next door, and Lizheng's family, but she only cooks them once in a while.Aunt Wei had already thought about this idea, but she couldn't force her if Shen Ji didn't like it.The cost is lower than that of fish ball soup, but it can also be sold for five yuan a bowl.Now I am very happy to hear her propose it, but I saw Shen Ji frowning, "Sister Ji, what's the problem?"

"If you want to do a lot, it's best to simplify the process. Let's hire someone to wash it. There must be someone in the village who is willing to do it. You will be paid three yuan for washing a basket, and the aunt will supervise by the side. Don't let them use too much vinegar. Watch them too. It’s not clean enough.” If Shen Ji wanted to wash every day, she would have to go on strike within a few days.

Aunt Wei calculated the profit, "Okay."

As soon as the wind was released, someone came to ask, but they felt that the three pennies were too little and wanted to raise the price.Before Er Gouzi and the others caught fish as if they were playing, five catties a day was very easy, but this time it was a little more troublesome, so she gave an extra penny.

Shen Ji knew that this was because others watched the Wei family make money, so they wanted to raise the price.In fact, three pennies is not too little, because in fact, it is not tiring but it is too stinky.And it can be washed out in half an hour, which doesn't delay them from doing homework. It takes half a day to make a purse, and it may not be able to earn three Wen, unless there is good craftsmanship like Aunt Wei.By the way, Shen Ji can now make his own purse and cut cloth for clothes.It's just that she really doesn't have talent in this area. Aunt Wei said that she can only barely see it.Fortunately, Shen Ji himself did not have much pursuit of this, and he was not discouraged.

She said softly to Aunt Wei: "Ma'am, let's boil hot water and wash it. There should be many people in the neighboring village who are willing. If the aunts don't want it, let it go."

Aunt Wei nodded, "Well, you can't force people."

The process of making fat sausage is much simpler than that of fish balls. It mainly depends on the seasoning after cutting it into the pot.Therefore, Shen Ji can make two cages a day, either steamed or boiled or roasted.Then someone figured out that washing two cages and earning six cents would buy a catty of meat in two days, which is pretty good.Besides, I still wash it with hot water. If I use cold water in February, it will be cold.Immediately, a third aunt Liu said she did it.Aunt Wei ordered her, and the others could only leave bitterly.

In this way, within a month, Shen Ji earned back four taels of silver, and she didn't take her own four hundred Wen, and asked Aunt Wei to entrust someone to carry it to Wei Ying.He is outside and has a lot of money to spend.It would be good to make him worry less about money.When Wei Ying is well, this family will be really good.That's all they can do.

If you want to continue to strive for a well-off life, you will inevitably make other people jealous.But there is nothing they can do to make them jealous, and they can only rely on Wei Ying to gain fame.

At the end of March, Wei Ying returned from the state capital in a hurry.I have lost a lot of weight, and my eyes are bigger when I look at them.

Shen Ji looked at him with bright eyes, guessing that he did well in the exam, so he thought narrowly, his voice became more and more obvious, the child has officially entered puberty, and he will know that he wants to be a woman in the future.When the list is published this time, if he is on the list, maybe he will get married.

No, then don't I have multiple bosses, and I have to serve another young mistress every day.It's not good if you are a master with many things.

"Sister Ji, what are you thinking when your eyes are rolling around?" Wei Ying's hoarse voice rang in Shen Ji's ear, and at the same time, she tapped a chestnut on her forehead.

"It hurts!" Shen Ji covered his forehead.

Aunt Wei looked at this scene, her eyes wandered over the two of them, and then she said, "This time, because of the exam, I couldn't celebrate your birthday. It will be fifteen. By the way, there is still sister Ji, you You are also nine years old. Why don’t you eat noodles today, and make up for your birthdays.”

Shen Ji thought to himself, I just hitchhiked.However, thinking about eating birthday noodles, I still happily agreed.With ready-made bone soup, she sprinkled flour to prepare the dough.Kneading and pressing noodles is a laborious task. Shen Ji can't do it anyway, and only Aunt Wei can do it.While pressing the noodles, Aunt Wei beat Shen Ji again, telling her to keep a distance from Wei Ying in the future.Shen Ji pretended not to understand, and just followed her words.

Anyway, she would not easily approach Wei Ying.Now that the issue of redemption has been settled, the Spring Festival couplets will not be sold until next year, and she and Wei Ying have nothing to do with each other.It's just strange why she didn't say a few words in front of her son, but kept talking to herself instead.

Since it was birthday noodles, Shen Ji added side dishes as he wished.When the birthday noodles were brought to the table, Wei Ying had already washed and changed clothes and was waiting.

"Well, it smells so good!" Wei Ying borrowed to live in the temple, ate a month's fast, and went to have a tooth sacrifice after the exam.Moreover, his stomach recognized Shen Ji's cooking skills. Even the meat dishes in restaurants were not as good as Shen Ji's. They were fat but not greasy, and they were fragrant and crispy.

The birthday noodles made by Shen Ji are rich in ingredients, such as mushrooms, black fungus, yellow flowers, bacon, fat sausage, green bamboo shoots, green beans, Chinese cabbage, etc., and the broth is very mellow, and the noodles are also very strong.Thinking that Wei Ying is now half-grown to eat as much as a poor old man, she specially made a bowl for him.As a result, he ate everything and even drank the soup.

Aunt Wei felt distressed, "It's okay if you didn't eat in the temple, didn't you give money to let you go out and eat something good?"

What good food can there be in the temple? They provide free board and lodging to poor students, which is already very good.

Wei Ying wiped her mouth clean and said: "The food in the state capital is too expensive, even buying a piece of paper is several times more expensive than here. But I didn't treat myself badly, I still have to go out to fight teeth every now and then. Mother, there are still four taels of silver left .These two taels are for my sister.”

Only then did Aunt Wei ask, "How did you do in the exam?"

Wei Ying smiled, and Shen Ji saw confidence in it.Sure enough, I heard him say next: "Mr. Pei told me a lot of exam questions from previous years, and I have been stepping up to study before the exam. There should be no problem."

"That's good, that's good." Aunt Wei was a little agitated, and Shen Ji thought it was understandable.This is an era in which one is doomed to become a master or continue to be a servant after one test.

After washing the dishes and going back, Wei Ying called Shen Ji to stop halfway, and gave her another tael of silver, Shen Ji blinked, what is this?Why give Aunt Wei another tael of silver behind her back.

"You find me another six hundred Wen."

Oh, I see, Wei Ying didn't want to take advantage of her and gave her the four hundred wen together.Shen Ji happily accepted.In this way, she has more than three taels of silver.

Wei Ying saw her smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she couldn't help scratching her nose with her hand, and then took out a small package from behind, "Here, this is a snack sold in the state capital, I brought some back for you. "

Shen Ji was even happier. She had no ambitions in her life, so she just ate alone.Immediately said loudly: "Thank you, young master!" He happily took it back to the house to taste.Put the rest in an iron box and lock it, so as not to save the mouse.
