Chapter 7 Making Money ([-])

Wei Ying thought about her own mother, and felt that what Shen Ji said made sense.Perhaps, she used to only do cooking work.

At noon, Shen Ji baked an omelet, beat an egg into the flour, and sprinkled with chopped green onion.Wei Ying ate deliciously with tea.

When the sun was westward, Mrs. Wei came back.With a very tired face, he put down the basket first, told Shen Ji to make medicine, and then went into the house to see Wei Ying.Seeing that his complexion is slightly better today, he is happy.

Wei Ying said that it was because he asked Ji Jie to help him go out for a walk and was exposed to the sun again.Another reason is that I ate more than usual, but this is not good to tell Aunt Wei.She usually thought that Wei Ying ate the food cleanly.

Shen Ji then went to boil the medicine and finished it three times. He told Aunt Wei that she was going out to catch fish, and when she got permission, she took a dustpan and a big urn with her.

After she left, Aunt Wei said to Wei Ying, "Jing'er, what do you think of Miss Ji?"

"Unlike ordinary little peasant girls, she is knowledgeable and courageous. She is a little cunning, but kind-hearted. I think it's good." Moreover, she knew that her mother bought her to prevent disasters, and she didn't seem to care too much.In fact, he doesn't believe this either, it's strange to say nothing.However, at her young age, it's rare that she doesn't take it seriously.Instead, she was worried that she would be resold without such utility.

"Well, if you say she's good, that's good. She seems to be much more honest in the past two days."

Shen Ji's harvest today was better than yesterday's, with two six- to seven-inch catfish.The catfish meat was tender, so she made fish balls for Wei Ying to eat.Because there are more, I and Aunt Wei also shared some.The fish ball soup is also very delicious, and she is very satisfied.

Because there is no seasoning at home, Shen Ji still chooses to make soup. Anyway, the fish soup is fresh enough, so there is no need to season it.

That night, all three ate very happily.Since then, the job of cooking has belonged to Shen Ji.It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, there is no rice in the tank, and the number of dishes in the field is limited.She was a little worried about how to continue to improve the food.

After eating, I went to Wei Ying's room to clean up the bowls, and saw him playing with a piece of old red silk rope.Aunt Wei went to the market today and bought a new one to string the amulet he wore around his neck. This is the old rope that he replaced.

"Master, after you drank the soup, I'll wait a while and then heat the medicine for you to drink."

"Okay." Wei Ying is in good spirits now that she is full.

Shen Ji looked at the red silk rope in his hand, his eyes lit up, "Master, can you give this to me?"

Wei Ying was stunned, this was something he had worn next to his body.

"What are you using it for?"

Shen Ji pursed his lips, "I'll see if I can make a smaller and simpler China... No, a lucky knot." It's just a piece of old silk rope, so it's not too bad to refuse.Shen Ji thought about the Chinese knot, maybe this is a way to make money.

Wei Ying thought for a while, then handed it to her, "You do it, let me see."

Shen Ji held it in his hand, thought about the simple method he had learned, and then braided a small auspicious knot.Happily showing it to Wei Ying, "Look, young master, can this be sold?"

The lucky knot has a good meaning, and it is bright red. It is cheaper to sell, and someone should buy it.

Wei Ying looked at her, her hands were quite skillful, maybe she could really sell.One penny or two pennies, the people in the town should not think it expensive.And a bundle of silk ropes costs only a dozen pennies.

"Do you know any other way?"

Shen Ji nodded, "Yes, I know many weaving methods." She has studied Chinese knots in her spare time.From simple to complex, from small to large, I have actually operated it.

Wei Ying found twenty cents from under the pillow, which he earned by helping people write popular banners.I am preparing to take it out to support my mother's family.It would be great if Sister Ji could really earn money by relying on the red silk rope.

"Go to Uncle Wang next door. He will drive there every time he goes to the market. Ask him to bring you a bundle of red silk rope."

Shen Ji had a sweet mouth, and would call "Second Uncle Wang" when he saw her on weekdays. He heard that the scholar next door wanted it, and Uncle Wang easily agreed.Three days later, Shen Ji brought a large bundle back.

Aunt Wei saw that she had gone to the next door to bring back the red silk rope, so she asked, "Why are you pushing Yinger to buy this thing?"

Shen Ji told her that he wanted to make a fortune knot and sell it to subsidize his family.I don't worry that Mrs. Wei will object, because Wei Ying agrees, and she won't have any different opinions.

Sure enough, after listening to Shen Ji, she didn't say anything, but told her not to delay her work.

Because Wei Ying wanted to see Shen Ji make it up, she took it to his room to make it up after she finished her work.

"It doesn't seem too difficult, it's a bit like making a net with my mother." He watched Shen Ji's hands move quickly, and quickly made up several different ones.

"It's a bit like it. It's all weaving. This one is better than being fresh. It's really not difficult. Those big girls and daughters-in-law bought it back, and they can learn it quickly after taking it apart. So, I plan to save a little more, so what are you waiting for?" Sell ​​it when you go to the big market next time."

Wei Ying thought for a while, "Well, let's sell it at the temple fair when I'm nineteen, it should be better."

Shen Ji felt that there was no major obstacle in communicating with Wei Ying.He doesn't have the acidity of seeing money as a thing.Aunt Wei seems to have spent a lot of money on his new drug this time, and went to the big pharmacy in the county to get it.Therefore, the effect is more obvious than before.I just don't know where Aunt Wei got the money from.Shen Ji heard from people in the village that when Aunt Wei brought her son here, she pawned off some land to buy some jewelry.Maybe a little home.This is the best way, and you won't resell yourself easily.However, she also has to work hard to show her worth.Otherwise, there is still danger.

"The fish ball soup made by sister Ji is also delicious."

Shen Ji kept his hands on his hands, and said in his mouth: "But I can't catch many fish. If someone helps me catch fish, I can make fish balls." They ate the two catfish for three days.In order to avoid spoilage, Shen Ji had no choice but to put more salt.Then place the bowl in a large basin with cool water.That's the only way to do it if you want to sell it.Fortunately, she found that people here have strong tastes.And you can't collect too many fish at one time, usually you can only raise them for three or two days.Otherwise, it is easy to die, and the taste of dead fish is not good.

She used to focus on weaving Chinese knots, but now she heard from Wei Ying that this is also a way to make money.After it is done, it is stored, and then it is sold on the market.With this Chinese knot, the business will definitely get worse and worse, and we must continue to introduce new ones.She only planned to do ten tricks this time, and do more of each one.

"Master, what do you think of hiring a village boy to catch fish?" Wei Ying paid for it, of course he had to agree.

"It's feasible. Let my mother do it, and say that the doctor told me to eat more fish."

"Okay." Shen Ji looked at Wei Ying beamingly, as if he had found a partner for the shoot.
