Chapter 8 Making Money ([-])

"It's time for me to go out and cook. When I'm done, I'll send it to my aunt."

After finishing the embroidery work, her son showed signs of improvement after taking the medicine, and there was a heavy burden at home, so Aunt Wei began to care about the production in the field.After all, he will have to rely on this to make ends meet in the second half of the year.Because Shen Ji has to cook, cook medicine, take care of Wei Ying, take care of the chickens at home, etc., and also make up fortune knots.Aunt Wei didn't let her follow her to do farm work.

Shen Ji used the fish kept in the tank to make fish soup for Wei Ying, then stood on the stool and fried a Chinese cabbage as usual, brought it in for Wei Ying, and took out a basket to put the food on to deliver to Aunt Wei.

These days, when she went down to fish in the river, she would always gain more or less something.I cook fish and eggs for Wei Ying, although limited by seasonings and side dishes, there are not many varieties, but she is good at cooking, Wei Ying loves to eat, and starts to increase the amount of activity every day, and her complexion gradually becomes better than before good.

Therefore, Aunt Wei turned a blind eye to her cooking with oil.In fact, she herself also likes to eat dishes fried by Shen Ji with oil.

However, the rice and oil tanks were indeed almost empty, and she couldn't help but become more concerned about the production in the field.

Shen sent the food back and ate it himself, then started to weave Chinese knots again.There are still three days until the June 100 Guanyin meeting, and she has to hurry up and make up some more.In the end, when the bundle of silk rope was used up, I asked Uncle Wang to bring another bundle, and weaved more than [-] Chinese knots of different sizes.

Tomorrow is the temple fair. Shen Ji sorted the Chinese knots piled up in Wei Ying's room by size, traditional and simplified. Aunt Wei also came in to look at them. The mother and son listened to her babbling: "This is the biggest one. I want to sell it for twenty yuan. It takes fifteen yuan to agree. This one is more complicated, and it costs ten yuan. These small ones cost three yuan."

Aunt Wei looked at her son, "Can you sell it?"

"It shouldn't be a problem to sell it fresh. If it's good, you should be able to sell it in the future. Did you let the children catch fish and send it to our house, mother?"

"Well, it's released. I'll follow what you said. The doctor told you to eat more fish. Ask them to send the fish as soon as they catch it. It costs two cents for five catties. It's not difficult for them."

Wei Ying gave Aunt Wei the more than 60 Wen she had saved together, "Mother, you take this. How much money do we have left?"

Aunt Wei did not refuse, and the family was indeed running out of food. "Including what you gave, there are more than 500 Wen." My son is getting better day by day.

"Ying'er, don't worry about the money. You still need to spend more time on your homework when you get better. This time I wasted so much time, and my mother is really worried that it will delay your end. If it doesn't work, you can sell a few acres of land at home. gone."

Wei Ying turned to look at Shen Ji, who was taking stock of Chinese knots, "Mother, maybe sister Ji can give us a surprise tomorrow. Even if it doesn't work, isn't there still fish ball soup for sale? Don't sell Tian easily. If we sell it, we may sell it next year." There will be no more food."

"Mother knows." Aunt Wei also looked at Shen Ji. She gritted her teeth and bought it for two taels of silver to protect her son from disaster.Perhaps, the money was not in vain.Isn't Ying'er seeing each other now?Maybe this sister-in-law is really a lucky star.

On the second day, Aunt Wei did not go to the field, but took Shen Ji to the temple with a Chinese knot on her back.Get there early to get a prominent spot.Shen Ji prepared the food for Wei Ying yesterday, and brought it out of the well and put it in the kitchen before leaving.The chickens at home are entrusted to Mrs. Wang to take care of them.At that time, she will also help Wei Ying heat medicine and meals.

After finally reaching the ground, Shen Ji followed Aunt Wei out of breath and placed the Chinese knot on the blue cloth under the tree.A few big ones that are more conspicuous are hung on the tree branches.

Then the two stood and ate dry food and waited.More and more people came to catch the temple fair, but for the time being, no one cares about it.Shen Ji first went to other stalls to see what they were selling and what the prices were, and then he looked at how others were attracting customers.

It's just that, at the beginning, she was still a little embarrassed to yell loudly, so naturally she didn't have much popularity.Aunt Wei said: "Sister Ji, this can't work, you can yell a few words."

It's all this far, it's not good to be shy.Shen Ji imitated the people next to him and yelled, "Come and buy a lucky knot. It will keep you safe when you go in and out, and you will be lucky. It is a good-looking and cheap lucky knot."

With such a yell, someone really looked over here.Shen Ji waited hopefully, and finally a little girl looked fresh and pulled the adults over to have a look.

"How do you sell this?" She pointed to a more delicate one hanging on a tree and asked.

"Well, it was originally sold for five cents, but you are the first customer, little girl, and you will be counted as four cents." Shen Ji replied with a smile.

"Mother!" The little girl stretched out her hand and tugged at a corner of her mother.

Seeing that the mother was still a little hesitant, Shen Ji picked up a Chinese knot with the word "Ping An" woven in a ring on the blue and white cloth, "Open a business, and I will give you another peace."

"Okay, take one." The woman handed over four Wen, and Aunt Wei accepted it.

After a start, the business will be done easily, and gradually people will gather around.Shen Ji found that her original price was a bit high, ordinary people would not be willing to spend so much money on gadgets, so they bought a smaller one and sold them together.Aunt Wei let her decide, seeing that the business was going well, her face was full of smiles.This sister-in-law is quite capable, and she has sold seventy or eighty articles in a while.She squeezed her purse, ready to go back and buy some more bundles of red silk rope.Also, what Yinger said was to give sister Ji some dividends.

It was sold out before noon that day, and a total of more than 300 Wen was sold.Aunt Wei sent Shen fifty cash, and then bought her a candied haws to eat back.

Shen Ji looked at the candied haws, smiled, and then took it, "Thank you, ma'am." By the end of her weaving, her fingers were strangled and the skin was torn.But fortunately, I made fifty coins in six days.Her worth is [-] Wen, and it may be higher if she wants to redeem herself.Maybe selling fish ball soup makes a little more than that.Shen Ji was full of hope at the moment.

Aunt Wei was even more delighted, and the cost totaled more than 30 Wen.Fifty cash for my sister, and two cash for candied haws.This also made a net profit of more than 200 articles.This is more profitable than her embroidery.

There are still twelve days until the next temple fair, come back then.She can also help make it up, just let Jijie teach herself.

"Auntie, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell. I have to think of some new tricks. Besides, those people who are smarter should be able to infer other things from one instance. It won't be so easy to sell next time." In the long run, The fish ball soup that Wei Ying said is more reliable.After all, this is a technique that only you can master.If others buy it, they can't learn it.

When she was doing it, Aunt Wei was a little dumbfounded watching from the side.In fact, she also tried to do it.There is no machine here to make fish balls, so she uses the primitive method of debone the fish, and then pound the fish into minced meat.Relying on the sensitivity of foodies to seasonings, this was made.Since you want to sell it, you have to spend more money.
