The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 144 People's Heart and Using Master Liu
Naturally, Wen Bao wouldn't teach her a lesson just because Tuantuan kicked Pangpang. Boys, of course, have to be beaten and beaten to be brought up.

Even if it can be seen from Tuantuan's skilled movements that she has done a lot of things before, but who can call Tuantuan a sister.

Resting at home for a day today, what Wen Bao has to do is to find a simple way to earn money at the summer market.

Wen Bao is at home, the whole family is naturally happy, Meihua doesn't have to go to the academy today, it's hot, and she doesn't want to eat those things, so the aunt and sister-in-law started making Liangpi.

In summer, it's perfect to eat these refreshing foods.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to make soup?"

They used to eat Liangpi, Song Dalang and the others didn't care about men, but Wen Bao and the others had to drink half a bowl of soup every time, but before it was either kombu soup or egg soup, but these hot soups didn't please men.

Looking up at Song Dalang and Wu Yong who were washing their faces, Wen Bao suddenly laughed.

"sister in law?"

Meihua didn't understand that her sister-in-law laughed suddenly, she saw her sister-in-law greeted herself and went out to Zhang Lian's house.

Wen Bao came and went very quickly. When he came back, he not only brought a few packs of medicinal materials, but also brought Zhang Lian's family back. He even carried a large medicine box behind him.

"Master Xue, quickly find the clay pot, I want to make soup."

Wen Bao thought of something that would be very suitable for selling at the summer market.

Sour plum soup!
Her home has an ice cellar, and it is not difficult to make an ice cellar for the college. She said at the beginning that the ice making method at home can be released slowly after two or three years of business.

Although money is a good thing, this kind of unique craft is too profitable, and it is easy to bring disasters to the family.

Wu Wanjin, Lord Liu, and Wen Youcai all agreed with Wen Bao's words, so this method of making ice would no longer be valuable in two or three years.

When Zhang Lian heard that Wen Bao's family was eating cold noodle today, she immediately greeted her mother-in-law and her husband, and brought her son, Shuidi, to come with his stomach full, without any alienation from Wen Bao.

Wen Bao was not polite to her either, and the two of them pondered together to see if they could make some more soups suitable for summer. This kind of soup, which can be sold after being cooked and chilled, is especially suitable for the group of girls in school.

Liquan joined the noodle washing team as soon as he arrived, Aunt Ma helped look after the children, and Wen Bao and the others cooked soup.

After trying sour plum soup, honeysuckle soup and mung bean soup, Wen Bao also confirmed that all three soups are good.

Mung bean soup is the simplest, but sour plum soup and honeysuckle soup are not as simple as their names. Although there are not many ingredients, they are definitely difficult to figure out.

At noon, a group of people ate Liangpi and drank iced soup. Although the two breastfeeding people and Zhang Lian could only drink a little to taste, the other people who were tasting strongly supported the soup.

With these, Wen Bao thought of popsicles again. She didn't want milk popsicles anymore, but she could still do it simply by freezing some sugar popsicles.

After the daughter-in-law gave orders, Song Dalang took Wu Yong and began to make wooden boxes according to Wen Bao's request. Wen Bao used to make plastic boxes for this thing, but now he can only try it with wood first.

Wen Bao didn't stop for a day, and after seeing three kinds of popsicles the next morning, Wen Bao decided to only sell sour plum soup and honeysuckle flavored popsicles.

The older children in Tuantuan were very interested in this kind of ice cubes frozen on wooden sticks, but even so, Wen Bao let them take three bites each.

If you want to eat again, wait for the next time.

Although children can't bite much with small mouths, but their spleen and stomach are weak, Wen Bao dare not give them so many cold things.

The bazaar on the fifth day of the lunar new year can't catch up. You need to prepare tools and medicinal materials. It doesn't matter if you experiment with these things and take them from home, but if the college wants to do business, it needs to take the college's account.

If these things are to be sold, it is natural to discuss with all the gentlemen in the academy first.

In fact, the only gentlemen in the academy who were not familiar with Wen Bao were Jing Rong and the others, but they were still surprised when they saw that Wen Bao could take out so many ice cubes.

Wen Bao didn't ignore the expressions of the two, but she didn't say much, as long as everyone agrees.

Except for the first day, no one signed up for the women's school these days. Wen Bao had already guessed about this, so she was not in a hurry.

After asking Song Dalang and the others to transport the things to the women's school and tell the children that they have to work harder these days and that they can earn money when the market opens, the children thought they had heard it wrong.

"The sour plum soup and honeysuckle soup you want to sell are one penny a bowl, and the mung bean soup is two pennies a bowl. This kind of popsicle, sour plum and honeysuckle flavor, is three penny a piece and five penny two."

After Wen Bao briefly told the children about these things, and then told them that for every ten copies sold, the school would only take one part of the capital and the rest would go to the children. Wen Bao was sure that he saw the tears in the eyes of many children.

Children can't make wooden boxes, but there is absolutely no problem for older children to cut bamboo sticks.

Under Wen Bao's final consideration, all popsicles will be made of bamboo tubes, and one section of bamboo tube will be cut off in the middle to form two popsicle tubes, and the bamboo without bottom on both sides can be used to cut bamboo sticks.

There is no waste in this way. Although the bamboo can be thick or thin, Wen Bao took the middle section, and the difference is not too much. The thicker bottom section is made into bamboo cups, which are used to hold the three kinds of iced soups.

Everyone in the college started to get busy. Before the start of school for the women's medicine department, Wen Chengshuang was asked to help replenish the goods from the county, and at the same time sent a letter to Master Liu.

Everything in the college is developing in a positive direction, but everyone except Wen Bao is worrying about enrolling students.

"Don't worry, you'll find out at the market the day after tomorrow."

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the matter and prevent the children from being in an unnatural state when they heard the wind, she refused Mei Hua and the others' inquiry, saying that she would find out the day after tomorrow.

"Master, this Wen family is not simple."

Listening to Jingyu's words, Jingrong raised her head and put down the book in her hand, "Jingyu, remember to call her the dean." After Jingrong first pointed out the problems in Jingyu's words, she continued: "She is indeed not simple. .”

Wen Bao, who was not simple, went home after checking the contents of the female school's ice cellar again and again, and waited for another day tomorrow. When the day after tomorrow arrived, it would be the first opportunity for the female school to make an appearance, and she had to seize it.

When the Songjia village market first opened, the county magistrate Mr. Liu brought many businessmen there once, but no one thought that Mr. Liu would come again this year.

This time Master Liu still brought a lot of people, and before noon, he finally arrived at the market in Songjia Village.

Just a quarter of an hour before their arrival, the female students led by Wen Bao and the others took out the popsicles they had made after the weather finally warmed up.

Novelty things are always attractive. A bamboo tube is placed in the ice cube. If someone wants to buy it, take out the bamboo tube and scald it in the hot water next to it. Take it out quickly and turn the bamboo stick in the bamboo tube. A colored stick The ice cubes came out.

After taking a bite, I found out that it was sweet and sour, chewed it and swallowed it, and it was cool all the way to the stomach.

"Girls, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"You can't eat too many cold things. It's hot at this time, so it's okay to eat some."

The children spread out in groups of ten to sell popsicles and iced soup. When Mr. Liu came with the merchants, he happened to be met by a group of children.

Liu Mengyao saw her grandfather at a glance, but her grandfather shook his head at her.

Chen Ying also recognized Mrs. Liu, she was not afraid of people, she trotted over and started selling her own things.

The little girl had a sweet mouth and coaxed many people who followed Master Liu to become curious about this popsicle.

When they decided to buy it, Chen Ying immediately turned around and shouted, "Uncle Wu."

Wu Yong stood not far from the children, and when he heard the movement, he immediately pushed the wooden cart over quickly, and brought popsicles to Mrs. Liu and the others as Chen Ying ordered.

At this time, if the merchants following Master Liu did not understand the real purpose of coming to the Songjia Village Market today, they would be living in vain.

"Grandfather, there are twelve branches in total, one for three Wen and two for five Wen, for a total of thirty Wen."

Because Mr. Liu said to treat guests just now, Liu Mengyao could only protect the cloth pocket in his arms and ask Mr. Liu for money.

Not only did Liu Mengyao reveal the relationship between the two of them by saying "grandfather", but the merchants behind him were also wondering why Master Liu would send his granddaughter to a girls' school.

Master Liu didn't hide it, and handed the thirty Wen to Liu Mengyao, Liu Mengyao and the girls around her counted it together, and then put it in the cloth pocket.

"Sister Mengyao, how much did you sell?"

Yao Lin's voice came from a distance, followed by an exclamation.

Yao Lin stopped to look at the place where the sound came from, and immediately trotted towards it.

"Uncle, are you here to see me?"

As Yao Lin threw herself into her uncle's arms, everyone immediately started discussing women's studies.

After discussing, I asked about how the girls' school recruited students. I heard that the enrollment was still going on, so I immediately started thinking about arranging for my daughter to study.

The prostitute daughter is reluctant, so the concubine daughter, there are no children who are six or seven years old, and it is okay to be two years older, anyway, this opportunity must be seized.

They missed the donation, but this time, they have to send a child anyway.

After Wen Bao and the others heard that Master Liu had brought a group of merchants, and those merchants began to inquire about the women's school, the others looked at Wen Bao.

"Sister-in-law, did you arrange this?"

Wen Bao did not deny that, of course, only the daughters of these families were not enough, but with the first batch, there would be the second batch.

At the market today, many people from nearby villages and towns came to ask about the girls' school. As long as they knew that Mrs. Liu's granddaughter was also in the girls' school, would they be afraid that they would not let their girls come?
Everyone has the desire to follow suit, not to mention that they are following Mr. Liu from Nanning County and wealthy households from Nanning County.

Wen Bao never worried that there would be no students in the women's society. They might not learn anything else, but it was still possible to learn to read and learn arithmetic in a year.

It won't be too much money, but she can guarantee that it will not be bad if she studies well.

What's more, in addition to the main courses and sub-courses, they will definitely gain more from staying in the academy for a year than they will staying at home for a year.

Wen Bao's guess was correct. In the second half of July, nearly a hundred girls from all over Nanning County came to sign up for school. Although [-]% of them chose a one-year subject, the remaining [-]% still chose it. other subjects.

Everything about women's studies is developing in a positive direction. Although Wen Chen angrily wanted to move to Songjia Village after giving birth to another son to enjoy the happiness of Wen Bao and Meihua, but she still planned to take The child came to Songjia Village.

Songjia Village is going to be lively.
