The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 101
Xiaomi smiled brightly, the cold wind was blowing on his face, but he didn't feel the cold at all.I only wish that such a peaceful day will never end in my life...

In the early morning of the second day, the carriage full of vermicelli was led by Boss Lu, and seven or eight young people from the village helped escort the carriage, and set off facing the sun that just showed its face in the sky.

It happened that the first batch entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the gate thought it was some wild goods, but they heard that it was from Laoxiongling, and it was ordered by the Chen family, so they let it go.

Boss Lu is a bit more honest, but he is not dull. He pays a lot of tax for entering the city. In addition, he gave a few meat buns from home to the youngest soldier, which made the half-old man smile happily.

After the Lu family convoy passed by, the rest of the veterans slapped half of the soldiers on the head, and couldn't help laughing, "The boss of the Lu family has never changed his temper. He took care of at least half of the refugees at the gate of the city. .”

The half-big soldiers asked curiously while eating, "Where have all those refugees gone?"

The old veteran glared at him fiercely, and cut off the conversation, "I can eat your buns, why are you asking?"

Xiao Bing shrank his neck, and was soon distracted by the meat bun in his hand.

Most of the buns sold in the city are vegetables, with very little meat.And these days on Laoxiong Ridge, from time to time, some villagers brought back wild boars, knowing that the Lu family likes to eat meat, and they are willing to eat meat, so most of them were sent over.

Millet made a full hundred jars of meat, bacon and dried sausages were also hung all over the beams, and steamed buns were often steamed for the excess. The family is full of big-bellied men. No matter who is hungry, they can put it on the cage to heat it up. Cushion your tummy.Especially the group of mischievous boys, who can always read until they are hungry, so no one will send one.

The people in the village saw it, and felt that their children would not stop studying in the Lu family. Now the Lu family has provided food, so the dry goods on the mountain, wild boars, rabbits and pheasants, have entered the Lu family like flowing water...

The Lu family's food has always been exquisite and delicious, except for everyone in Laoxiongling, Lu Qian's place, and the Chen family, no one knows about it.

But now that the vermicelli is being brought into the city, all the restaurants are stepping up their efforts to figure it out.

There are specialties in the art industry, and the cooks of each family are proficient, but they can cook well after just one or two hands-on practice.

So on the third day, the impatient restaurant launched the "Full Powder Banquet" for the first time, with a table of ten taels of silver.

This price is naturally out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is not too expensive in the eyes of the people in Fucheng, and it is even cheaper in the eyes of the stewards of the rich and powerful families from Kyoto.

It just so happened that the fur goods were about to be collected, and everyone discussed going back together, so they set up a table to try something new.

As a result, some people don't like it, and naturally some people don't love it.

Afterwards, various restaurants also launched table noodles with meat and vegetables.

Herd mentality, almost everyone does not lack.Bei'an was not big in the first place, and the six largest restaurants suddenly launched together, naturally forming a trend, and even greeting each other has become, "Have you had a full-flavoured feast?"

Men are fine, especially women, children and the elderly, especially like the softness and smoothness of fans.However, it is inconvenient for the elderly, children and women to go in and out of restaurants frequently, so some people hired restaurant cooks to cook at home, but which big family has no cooks, and finally fulfilled the shopkeepers of the two grain and oil shops.

When the restaurant business was booming, they didn't participate in the bustle because they didn't have a cook, but now it's their turn to show off.

The dishes are free of charge, free delivery, all kinds of vermicelli and raw noodles, the shop is complete and clean, so the customers are like clouds.

So, in just three days, Xiaomi received the first batch of payment from shopkeeper Chen, plus the news of continued delivery.

Xiaomi is helping Feng Jian at the construction site of the greenhouse. One greenhouse a day in the village has almost formed an assembly line operation, and the speed is extremely fast.Today, the building happened to be built by Cuilan's family. Although her natal mother and brother had some embarrassing quarrels before, this daughter-in-law is hardworking and smart, and she can usually do the housework. Fenfang is also heavily relied on by Xiaomi. Now I am living happily.

Hearing the message from the young servant of the Chen family, Cuilan was so happy that she almost jumped up, and shouted, "Oh, that's great, we packed another batch of goods yesterday, so we can send them in together with my little brother." city."

The young servant was also very clever, and he praised him immediately, "Miss Si, your sister-in-law here is really neat in her work, and she really can't make a fortune if she doesn't get rich?"

Xiaomi stuffed him with a handful of copper coins as a reward, and finally said with a smile, "For your kind words, let's take the second batch back."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Cuilan again, and greeted, "Send the truck away, and you also rest for half a day, and come home to collect wages."

"Okay!"

The men who were resting and drinking tea heard that their daughter-in-law had received their wages again, and felt a sense of crisis in their hearts. They quickly threw away the pottery bowls and shouted loudly, "Come on, brothers, let's hurry up. Get up early to warm up the house and grow vegetables, and make money as soon as possible, otherwise the women in the family may be in trouble."

"Haha, isn't it!"

Everyone laughed and greeted in unison, and finally threw off their jackets, and got busy in full swing.

Vermicelli and cornstarch are both a catty and a tael of silver, so it is very easy to calculate the payment.The first batch sold a total of 500 catties, which is [-] taels of silver.

This is really a long drought and sweet dew, which completely enriches the shriveled purse of millet.You must know that except for the money from selling Peter Rabbit last year, which is considered a big income, the family has been spending money the rest of the time.Two yards were built, a gatehouse, dozens of wells, a potato noodle shop, and the villagers’ wages bought stones and hills on both sides, and sent them to Chen’s house, pile by pile, piece by piece, Can't survive without money.

As a result, the 200 taels of silver owed to Feng Jian has not yet been returned.

Shopkeeper Chen was safe and careful, and the payment he sent was a stack of small-denomination banknotes, totaling 400 taels, plus 100 taels of loose silver.

Xiaomi happily counted, and glanced at Feng Jian who was drinking tea from time to time.

Feng Jian had already seen her appearance in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he refused to answer.

Xiaomi couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Brother Feng, next time I settle the payment, I'll pay back your 200 taels."

Feng Jian raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "There's no rush, we'll talk about it later."

Xiaomi raised her chin triumphantly, pretended to be a local tyrant, and shouted, "My girl is rich, and she is rich!"

Feng Jian almost spit out his tea, and laughed sullenly.

When Xiaomi stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, and wanted to say something, all the female workers from the powder workshop at the foot of the mountain rushed over.

Feng Jian looked through the account books, Xiaomi paid the money, and quickly settled all the wages.

The women all held silver in their hands, and their faces were full of excitement. You must know that the most among them received a full three taels of silver, and the least received more than one or two taels of silver.The money is enough for the family to use for half a year, so how could they not be happy.

Xiaomi also wanted to share [-]% of the money as a bonus, but after a change of heart, he took it back. After all, it has just started selling, and no one dares to guarantee it later.It's better to wait until the Chinese New Year to make plans, and add some festive atmosphere to the New Year.

The women are eager to go home to announce the good news, and show off to the men. Nowadays, in every household in the village, there is a vague sense of "comparison" between the father and mother of the child. Of course, no matter who wins or loses, life at home is prosperous.But the men want to keep the dignity of the head of the family, and the women are full of energy when they want to turn the world upside down.

Seeing that it was still early outside, Xiaomi dragged Feng Jian down the mountain to check the stock in Fenfang.

Thirty acres of potatoes sound like a lot, but they couldn't stand the "torture" of the female workers' enthusiasm. Now there are only half of them left, but vermicelli of various widths and thicknesses and large vats of raw flour have occupied the warehouse.

Ever since they knew that the vermicelli was very popular, the women were more diligent and meticulous, and the warehouse was cleaned cleanly, not a trace of dust could be found.

Millet took a rough inventory, and the vermicelli was only more than 2000 catties, plus a thousand catties of cornstarch.

Although the ones sold in the city are very popular now, after a few days, after the freshness period, the comparison will stabilize. After all, no matter how delicious vermicelli is, it is not as good as meat or green vegetables. It is a must-have item on the dinner table.

Fortunately, this is the only one in Dayuan. North Anzhou goes south to Kyoto, and even to the south of Kyoto. It is vast and has many prefectures and cities, so there is no need to worry about the market.

On the contrary, I have to worry that the vermicelli and cornstarch in the warehouse are not enough to sell, which is like a drop in the bucket.

Xiaomi frowned, a little annoyed, and turned to Feng Jian to complain, "Brother Feng, I thought there were a lot of potatoes at home, but looking at it this way, it may not be enough to sell here in Bei'an Prefecture. But I bought potatoes from the south and shipped them over." , It’s too much trouble, and the cost of carriage and horses is too much..."

Feng Jian has long seen this problem, but this is Xiaomi's business, so he won't open his mouth easily.Now that Xiaomi asked, he spoke out what he had been thinking about for the past two days.

"Instead of buying potatoes from the south and shipping them to make flour, it's easier to build a flour mill in the south."

Xiaomi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he smiled, "Hey, that's a really good idea."

However, she turned a little frustrated, "The idea is a good idea, but none of the family members can handle it alone. After all, they are not familiar with the place, and buying land and building a meal is still a unique business. The local big family has evil intentions, and there is a second Du Youcai, won't it cause trouble again?"

Feng Jian raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Wilderness Academy, and said, "Both Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng's families are in Zezhou, why don't you write to your third brother to discuss it."

"Ah, it turns out that Brother Liu and Brother Cheng live in Zezhou. What a coincidence. I will write to my third brother tomorrow!"

Xiaomi clapped her hands happily, and said, "For the time being, let's open a small shop in the city, specializing in vermicelli and raw rice noodles. Uncle Chen refuses to take a share this time, so it would be bad if he was bothered. The furs hunted by uncles, and the mountain products picked by aunts, must have a good business. Even if the noodles are sold out, it is a good thing that the village sells furs without being exploited by fur traders. The only problem is, who will run the shop?"

Feng Jian didn't respond this time, turned his head to look outside the warehouse, and said calmly, "Since we're here, let's come in and talk."
