Chapter 5: Negotiating How to Make Money

Then I bought some seasonings. There were not many kinds of seasonings in ancient times, only salt, cane sugar, vinegar, ginger and some more expensive spices, such as star anise and fennel.

He also asked Mo Shengming to buy some simple seasonings and half a catty each of some more expensive seasonings.

Go to the counter to check out, 35 catties of brown rice cost 130 Wen, 180 catties of coarse cornmeal cost [-] Wen, the total is [-] Wen, and the price of other seasonings adds up to [-] Wen. The shopkeeper saw what they bought. If there were more, the change was removed, and they were only charged [-] Wen.

After buying the necessary items, it was time for lunch. Mo Shengming was afraid that Mo Xiaoxiao would be hungry, so he took her to a stall selling Chaos on the street, and ordered two bowls of Chaos, one large and one small. of.

The big bowl is [-] Wen per bowl, and the small bowl is [-] Wen per bowl. If you want to put meat or other ingredients in, you need to add a few Wen. In order to save a few Wen, they only need two bowls. It is pure chaos, and no other ingredients are put in.

Maybe it was because they were really hungry, so the two of them ate quickly. After eating, a way to make money popped up in Mo Xiaoxiao's mind.That is, she can make snacks. There are many modern snacks, and she can make them herself. There are not many ancient seasonings, and she can develop them slowly, so she is not afraid of losing business.The more I think about it, the more I think it is feasible. I just need to go home and discuss it with my parents. If they don't agree, it will be miserable.

Because I was more excited when I came here and didn’t pretend to be anything, so I walked more briskly. Now I have something on my mind when I go back, so I feel tired after walking more than half of the way. I also had a serious illness before, and my body has not fully recovered, but She didn't say anything, but her face became paler and paler.

Mo Shengming also noticed Mo Xiaoxiao's state at this time, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, Xiaoxiao was only six years old this year, and she had a serious illness some time ago, and he actually let her walk such a long distance.

So she picked up Mo Xiaoxiao and rushed home. Mo Xiaoxiao leaned her head on her father's shoulder, and heard her even breathing after a while.

It was already half an hour after arriving home, Mo Xiaoxiao felt ashamed and fell asleep lying on Mo Shengming's shoulder. Fortunately, her brother and sister didn't laugh at her, otherwise if there was someone If there is a crack, she will definitely get in.

After watching them come back, Mrs. Lin took the bamboo basket and was surprised to see that she had bought so many things. She guessed in her heart that they must have spent all of them. Otherwise, how could she buy such expensive items and buy so many at a time? He said, "Although there is not much food at home, you can't buy so much. Let's save a little bit. In a month or so, the family will be able to harvest food. What are you going to buy so much?"

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and Mo Xiaoxiao obediently walked up to help Mrs. Lin tidy up her things, and said, "Mom, there are more people in the family now, and there is always something to eat. No matter how economical you are, you can't be hungry." What? Besides, my brother, sister, and Xuanxuan are all growing up, if they don’t eat enough, how can they grow up? If they don’t grow up, they can’t help mother make money, right?”

"Pfft... You're the only one who is right. Mom knows it. It's okay. You've been tired all day. Go out and have fun first, and then remember to come back early for dinner."

"Yeah, mother, then I'm going out!" Mo Xiaoxiao gave Mo Shengming a smug look, as if saying: "Look, I've coaxed mother!"

Seeing her proud look, Mo Shengming smiled helplessly.Immediately after helping Lin put away his things, he went to the field with a hoe.

In the evening, after Mrs. Lin finished cooking, she asked Xiaoxiao to go to the field and call Mo Shengming and others back. Xiaoxiao turned around and was walking outside, only to see that Mo Shengming and others had already returned.

"The head of the house is back, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and scoop up water to wash your father's hands." Lin said with a gentle smile.

"Hey, okay, I'll go now."

"Xiaoxiao, don't move, just come by yourself." As soon as Mo Shengming finished speaking, he saw that Mo Xiaoxiao had scooped up the water and put it in the basin, and said to him with a smile, "Daddy, wash your hands." .”

Seeing how sensible her daughter is, she had no choice but to smile and say, "My Xiaoxiao is still sensible."

Mo Xuanxuan on the side didn't obey after hearing this, she just pouted and said aggrievedly: "Daddy is biased, is Xuanxuan ignorant?"

Seeing Mo Xuanxuan playing tricks, the whole family laughed without shame. Seeing everyone laughing at her, Mo Xuanxuan blushed and pouted even higher. What Mo Shengming likes most every day is talking and laughing with the whole family When I was laughing, seeing how cute Mo Xuanxuan is now, I stepped forward and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "Hehe, my Xuanxuan must be sensible, if anyone says you are ignorant, then Daddy will take care of you Go vent your anger, okay?"

"Then why are they still laughing?" Mo Xuanxuan looked angrily at the people who were still laughing, feeling that they were bullying her, she was so wronged, thinking about it, her big eyes were filled with tears, letting go If they still laugh, she will show them hard.

Naturally, Mo Shengming, who loved his daughter like his life, couldn't see such a scene, so he pretended to be fierce and said to Mo Yuntian and the others: "Don't laugh, whoever wants to laugh, don't want to eat tonight." Although the tone was very serious , but the smile on his face still couldn't hold back.

Then she said to Mo Xuanxuan: "Look, they haven't laughed anymore, if anyone dares to laugh again, then dad will beat him up."

After listening to Mo Shengming's words, Mo Xuanxuan was very proud, raised her head and hummed, and followed Mo Shengming into the house, leaving only the four brothers and sisters outside who were holding back their laughter.

At the dinner table, Mo Xiaoxiao put forward his own ideas. Everyone looked at each other in surprise, then looked at Mo Xiaoxiao with burning eyes, and asked questions in turn. The eldest brother Mo Yuntian asked: "Xiaoxiao, can we sell it?" What is it?"

"That's right, what can we sell? We don't have anything to sell right now..." the second brother Mo Yunfeng said in distress.

Although Mo Shengming, Lin Shi, Mo Yaoyao and the others did not speak, their eyes still showed the same meaning as them.Mo Xiaoxiao saw that everyone didn't scold her, but instead thought about what she said, which surprised her a little. She thought that she would definitely be hindered, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

Xiaoxiao propped her chin with her small hands, thought for a while, and said, "We can sell food. For example, the weather is getting hotter now. We can sell cold noodle and cold noodle. Say this thing tastes refreshing."

Mo Shengming and his wife looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Mo Xiaoxiao, the expression was very clear, that is, what is this cold noodle?What is Liangpi?How do you do it?Besides, I have never heard of this food before, so how did Xiaoxiao know?Although he was puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, as Mo Xiaoxiao figured it out by himself.
