The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 100 Victory in the First Battle
"It's good for all brothers to be satisfied, otherwise I will lose the original intention of my banquet today. You may have guessed that the new food I mentioned earlier is the vermicelli and starch on the table. To be honest, it is not delicious, but it is better It is novel, and no matter what dishes are served, it will not have the taste of the dishes themselves. They are soft, glutinous and smooth, suitable for all ages. If those dishes are released just now, they will definitely be full of diners. I am afraid that everyone will count their money hand hurts."

It is the nature of a businessman to seek profit, and everyone is naturally happy to hear this.

What's more, those dishes just now are really delicious, so someone tried to say, "Miss Lu, to tell you the truth, this is called...uh..."

"Noodles!"

Seeing that the speaker was confused by his name, Xiaomi answered with a smile, and the person also laughed and patted his forehead, "Yes, look at my brain. It's this vermicelli. It's a delicious food, but let's buy it back. It's from home. The cook doesn't know how to make it, especially the cornstarch, I really don't know what to do."

Others also said, "Since this ingredient has never been seen in Dayuan, it must not be cheap. If the cook doesn't know how to clean it, wouldn't it be a loss of capital and a waste of good things."

Xiaomi had been prepared for a long time, and directly took a thick stack of paper from the tray of the maid next to him, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, shopkeepers, including the dishes just now, there are other classic recipes, I wrote it all down. As long as the cooks at home are not stupid, you can learn it after a try or two."

"Okay, okay," everyone immediately became happy when they heard it. Almost every family of them has a special dish, which is absolutely confidential, so as to support the signboard and attract diners.

But just to be cautious, someone still asked, "Miss Lu, how many vermicelli and cornstarch did you use for the eight dishes and one soup just now?"

"Not much." Xiaomi didn't hide anything, and directly reported the truth, "The banquet just now used a total of two taels of thick and thin vermicelli, and three taels of raw flour. No matter whether it is vermicelli or raw vermicelli, Lujiafenfang will set the price One tael of silver for one catty, the same price."

All of them are veterans who have been in business for many years, and they are more proficient in arithmetic than the students of Kyoto Taixue, but they can understand it clearly after turning their heads.

Raw flour plus vermicelli, a total of five taels of silver, priced at one tael or five silver, if you add those prawns, chicken, meat slices, all kinds of things together, four taels of silver is enough.But if it is launched in your own restaurant, and the asking price is [-] taels, or even [-] taels, the diners will definitely come. When the time comes...

"Give me twenty catties of vermicelli and ten catties of cornstarch first."

"I want twenty catties of everything!"

The shopkeeper of one of the grain and oil shops was a fat man with a smile. He rolled his small eyes for a while, but he shocked everyone when he opened his mouth.

"I want a hundred catties each!"

Xiaomi is also surprised, after all, this is a new ingredient, whether it can be liked by all diners, no one can guarantee that it will be foolproof.But this fat shopkeeper is 200 catties, [-] taels of silver, which is considered a big deal, really bold!
Maybe he wanted to take it out, or split it up and sell it to a small restaurant...

Xiaomi thought about it, but didn't show it on her face. The vermicelli and cornstarch were priced at one or two silver a catty. This was the conclusion she and Feng Jian had come to after careful research, taking into account the cost and the buyer's profit margin. If it falls, the Lu family will be flooded with wealth.

As for others buying it, where to resell it, or even thinking about making the recipe, it has nothing to do with their Lu family.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper for your attention, I will also give you a recipe."

"Well, this is really the best."

After eating and drinking, everyone agreed to come to Chenjiabuzhuang to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon, and finally they all took their dishes and said goodbye and went back.

After all, the cook at home has to explain it, and it needs to be well publicized before it is launched.

On Laoxiong Ridge, men, women and children were really tired after a busy day.The women have to take care of the food, drink and clothes of the family, and go to work in the powder workshop, while the men hunt, build greenhouses, and go to Liu's house to help beat the tin tubes and iron stove rings in their free time.The old people need to collect firewood for heating in winter, and they need to mow the grass and send it to the deer pen. Even the naughty boys have to help fetch the best black soil and prepare it for the family to grow vegetables.

Every household is full of tired people, but they are full of energy. After all, there is a golden road waiting for them to step on.

Today Xiaomi went to the city to discuss selling vermicelli. The women in the vermicelli shop were most concerned. Firstly, whether the vermicelli could be sold was related to their wages. If I grow these potatoes at home, if I can't sell them for money, all conscientious folks will have a hard time.

So the naughty boys were sent an errand, which was to report the news at the mountain pass.

The weather is already very cold now, compared to previous years, the naughty boys no longer lack thick jackets to wear, and because of Father Lu's strict teaching, they don't look snotty and snotty.

But the child was naughty by nature, so someone came up with the idea to find dry branches to make a fire, and then went to the cellar to steal potatoes and bake them.

Lu Er Er came back from nowhere, and seeing this, he kicked each boy on the buttocks, and laughed and cursed, "I want to eat potatoes, so I bring them home and cook them. At this time, light a fire and order money, and you all wait to be killed." Kill it."

The naughty boys were not afraid of him, they scratched their buttocks and wanted to grab potatoes, so Xiaomi came back from the city in a carriage.

The naughty boy immediately changed his pitiful appearance and surrounded him, complaining, "Sister Xiaomi, second brother bullied us!"

"That's right, Second Brother kicked our ass!"

Unable to guess their little trick, Xiaomi turned around and took a pack of sesame candies in the car, handed one to the driver, Chu Yi, and gave the rest to the naughty boys.

"Second brother must be doing it for your own good. Don't make any noise. After dividing the candy, hurry up to the mountain and tell your mothers not to worry about it. The vermicelli is sold, and wages will be paid tomorrow night."

"Oh, sister Xiaomi is the best."

The naughty boys all cheered, but they didn't fight over it. The oldest boy took the lead in picking up the sesame candies, and each of them divided them up. Finally, the remaining half was stuffed into the mouth of the youngest, Plump.

Finally, the children ran up the hill with their legs free.

Scratching the back of his head, Lu Er Er jumped directly onto the other side of the car, snatched half a piece of sesame candy from the hand of Chu Yi who was smiling honestly, stuffed it into his mouth, and made Chu Yi slam the horsewhip in annoyance. .

Xiaomi couldn't help but feel a little relieved.After all, she was a little selfish about Xiao'e. Although she was for the sake of her family, Lu's second son had a deep-rooted affection. Xiao'e's leaving was a big blow to him, and she felt ashamed of her brother.

Looking at it now, it seems that things have calmed down, and I hope that everything will go well for Xiao'e and her family will be avenged.Of course, the most important thing is not to implicate Lao Xiong Ling.

After all, today's life is prosperous up and down the mountains, but the foundation is still too shallow.The previous Du Youcai was just the master's nephew, so he almost retreated to the deep mountains and old forests to avoid living in the deep mountains and forests because of the embarrassment.

If Feng Jian's master and servant hadn't happened to rush back, I couldn't imagine what it would be like now...

Thinking of this, Xiaomi suddenly missed Feng Jian very much.

Perhaps this longing had a destination in the dark. When the carriage came to the end of Lu's courtyard, Feng Jian was standing under the tree with his hands behind his back.

The west slanting sun had a faint orange color, which was a little bland, but it made his whole body extremely warm.

Xiaomi jumps out happily, and greets her with a smile, "Brother Feng, how did you guess that I'm coming back now? Let me tell you, today went really well..."

The little girl is like the most beautiful elf in the world. She speaks crisply and laughs brilliantly. No matter how heavy her heart is, as long as she is around her, she will immediately become happy.

I can't wait to hold her tightly in my arms and keep her in my heart, so that this joy will never be let down or destroyed...

Feng Jian slowly swallowed back the words he had prepared countless times, smiled lightly, and led Xiaomi into the yard, "How much did you sell in total?"

"Five hundred catties, five hundred catties!"

Xiaomi stretched out a white slap, his face was full of complacency, like a puppy pestering his master, his big eyes were full of hope.

Feng Jian spoiled with a smile, "Okay, the flag has won!"

Sure enough, Xiaomi's smiling face became brighter, and when he was about to say something more, the women who had heard the naughty boys' report all rushed over, surrounded Xiaomi and started asking questions.

"Xiaomi, is that potato flour really sold?"

"Yes, yes, one tael of silver per catty?"

"Oh, people in the city are rich, so they are willing to buy it so expensive?"

A little daughter-in-law was so happy that she was a little out of tune when she spoke. The mother-in-law who came in later patted her on the shoulder and scolded with a smile, "You don't even look at who did what you said. Xiaomi doesn't bother." , No one in this world has eaten such a good thing.”

The little daughter-in-law used to help make dolls, and now she is in the powder workshop. She is usually the main laborer in the family, earning no less than her own man, and she is not shy in front of her mother-in-law.

Everyone hurriedly changed the topic, "Xiaomi, how many catties did you sell? Should you pack the goods first? When will someone come to pick them up?"

Xiaomi also smiled and said, "We sold a total of [-] catties. I have an order here, and I will have time to reload the goods tomorrow morning. The next batch will take a few days. I have to taste it in the city before I can continue to order. "

"Oh, so many, that's great."

"No way, if we are late tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will delay the big event, why don't we take advantage of this free time to prepare the goods quickly."

"That's right, that's right, Xiaomi quickly bring the list."

Everyone was short-tempered, and they worked neatly. How could they bear it, they almost snatched the list from Xiaomi's hands, and then dragged a few naughty boys who could read and went to the powder workshop at the foot of the mountain.

After all, if the goods are sold tomorrow and the money is obtained, each family will receive wages again.

Is there anything in this world that is more joyous and anticipating than rewards for giving?

Everyone came quickly and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, there was only Xiaomi left in the Lu family compound.

When she thought of Feng Jian again, she saw that he had already poured tea in the room, let it warm up, raised a glass to Xiaomi from a distance, and drank it all in one gulp.

Replace wine with tea, and congratulate you for winning the first battle!
