A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 7 Started to make money and eat
"My surname is Zhang. Miss Mu will just call me shopkeeper Zhang from now on."

Mu Wanniang called out 'Master Zhang'.

"Girl Mu, how do you plan to sell this cooking method?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Zhang didn't talk nonsense, and Mu Wanniang didn't want to talk about such impoliteness, she said directly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, to be honest, the ingredients and seasonings for this dish are the ones in your restaurant. The chef already knows, if you rely on me, I will naturally have nothing to say, but I just believe that shopkeeper Zhang will not be such a person, so I am so relieved to leave the method to you first."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang laughed loudly, "I just said that Miss Mu is not a simple little girl. Since you are so relieved, then I can't let you down."

"Well, this dish of yours can be regarded as a new dish. We have only seen cakes made of sugar here, but it is really rare to cook vegetables with sugar, and the taste is quite good." Shopkeeper Zhang thought that this dish would definitely If you are liked by those wives and ladies, you will definitely earn a lot of money when you sell it, "Your dish is also considered a big dish. Since you sold the recipe directly, this is also our first business. I will count you 20." How about two?"

From the conversation just now, Mu Wanniang knew that the shopkeeper would not bully her, she was just a little girl. Indeed, she only used this dish as a good start. She did not expect such a high profit, but she got the money Then she thought about it again, the recipe she sold for 20 taels, the restaurant will naturally earn no less than this, after all, it is her side that is losing money.

But it's just the beginning, Mu Wanniang can also think about it, let's focus on the present first.

Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to send her out through the front door, but Mu Wanniang insisted on going out through the side door, worried that she would be too conspicuous.

"Mu girl, this can be regarded as our first transaction. If there are others in the future, feel free to bring them and guarantee you a high price."

Mu Wanniang smiled 'gently': "Then thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang."

After coming out of the restaurant, Mu Wanniang showed a real smile.

Can finally have money!

Although this 20 taels of silver is not much for the people in the county town, it is quite a lot for the people in their village.

Knowing that there will be a way to make money in the future, Mu Wanniang is not prepared to lose herself and her two children.

She came here in a hurry today, so she didn't bring a basket to put things in, and there were few things at home. She went to a small stall in the county to buy a backpack that could be carried, and then went to a nearby shop to buy ten catties. Rice, ten catties of white flour, and bought oil, salt, sugar, sauce, vinegar and some basic seasonings.

I have to say that the salt and sugar are quite expensive.

Because she will come to the county again later, so she didn't buy much rice this time, and the above simple things cost her almost [-] cash. Her previous idea was to spend at most one tael of silver, and she had to think about it when she went back. Do you want to use the current money to replace the house with a new one, but it is still too noticeable, so let's make up for the missing things first.

Mu Wanniang was going to take out two taels of silver to replenish the goods, and she had to go back and think about what to do with the remaining 18 taels.

Then she went to the cloth shop and the tailor shop.She doesn't know how to make clothes, so she directly chose the finished ones, two sets of each, and then two sets of mattresses and bed sheets.

She didn't plan to buy good ones, but she didn't buy the worst ones either. Instead, she bought cotton cloths that were more comfortable to the touch, and bought two pairs of several pairs of cloth shoes. More than three or two.There were too many things, so Mu Wanniang went to an alley with few people, pretended to sort out the purchased things and put them into the space when no one was paying attention, leaving a few catties of flour and soy sauce outside.

When she went back, Mu Wanniang didn't do her any harm, she spent two cents to ride the bullock cart, but fortunately, the person sitting next to her was from a nearby village, and when she saw her getting into the bullock cart, she buried her head in the bullock cart and didn't speak, so she ignored her. After a few village entrances, Mu Wanniang hurriedly got out of the bullock cart with a basket on her back, and hurried home by herself.

Because she came back and took the bullock cart, she arrived home earlier than she had estimated.

There was no one at the door, so no one was going to make a fuss.

She opened the door and went in, and the stone in the back room opened the door, and her eyes turned red when she saw her.

"Sister..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing him crying, Mu Wanniang hurried forward and was hugged by her, Shitou's sobs became heavier.

"Sanwa urinated on the bed, but I can't move the quilt. I want to do laundry but I dare not go out." Shitou cried terribly, "Sister, I'm sorry!"

Mu Wanniang was amused, and patted him on the back, "What's the matter, I'm going to wash it later, come and see what I bought."

She carried the basket into the house, and smelled the mild smell of urine as soon as she entered. Looking at Sanba who was lying on the bed and grinning at her, she cursed heartlessly.

She showed Shito what she bought, and then she changed Sanwa's trousers first. The trousers that were aired today were dry, so she just put them on. As for the changed ones, there are new ones now, so she just threw them away , Anyway, the fabric is uncomfortable to the touch.

After tidying up Sanwa, Mu Wanniang noticed the pumpkins that had been eaten in the kitchen, and thought about going to Aunt Wang to get money for some goat milk for them to drink.

"Stone, are you hungry?"

Shi Shi nodded first, then shook his head, Mu Wanniang knew that he was hungry but it was difficult to say.

"Sister, go find Aunt Wang, and she'll be back in a while."

She took thirty Wen and went to Aunt Wang's place to exchange ten Wen for goat milk.

Aunt Wang didn't care where her money came from, and brought her half a bucket of goat milk.

"The weather is hot, so much goat milk will not keep fresh. Remember to hang it in the well of your house to ensure that it will not go bad for a few days."

There is a dry well in front of Mu Wanniang's two thatched huts. Although there is no water, it is really cool inside and it is good for hanging things.

"Remember to bring the bucket back to me after drinking the milk, and remember to give me the money if it's broken."

Mu Wanniang remembered that she took the goat milk home and kept it at home. She boiled the fresh goat milk with sliced ​​ginger and added some sugar she had just bought for Sanwa and Shitou to drink. With the remaining [-] Wen, I went to the old lady who sold eggs nearby and exchanged a basket of eggs for a basket of eggs. With the money, it was time to supplement the health of the two children.

After she came back, she boiled the rice she had bought and let the stone watch the fire. She had to hurry up to wash clothes and fetch water.

Because there are vegetables in the space, she didn't buy vegetables in the county. Instead, she took out two tomatoes and cauliflower from it. For dinner, she just made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried cauliflower.

While still asleep, Sanwa made him a small bowl of white rice porridge with sugar in it, and Mu Wanniang gave Shishi a taste.

At the beginning, she couldn't be too conspicuous. Originally, she wanted to buy meat, but the house with a yard in the countryside is very well ventilated. If the meat is really cooked and the smell wafts out, then everyone will know where she is. It's hard to explain when I eat meat.

"good to eat!"

The stir-fried dishes are even more delicious. The dishes with oil and salt have a really different taste, and this time Mu Wanniang bought enough seasonings, so the taste must be delicious.

Worrying that Sanwa would wake up soon, Mu Wanniang ate fast, and when she raised her eyes casually, she saw Shitou crying and eating.

"..."

Is this baby too touched?

Shitou raised his hand to wipe his tears, "Sister... can we still eat rice all the time..."

Mu Wanniang thought for a while, and then realized that the child was afraid that she would give him a good meal and then sell him?

She laughed, "Of course you can eat it in the future. Elder Sister can already make money. Tomorrow, Elder Sister will ask someone to repair the door of the house, so that no one will dare to break in in the future."

Stone nodded fiercely.

He likes the current sister.
-
Waking up early the next morning, while Shitou and Sanwa were still sleeping, Mu Wanniang went to the kitchen to suffocate the meal, and waited for a while to come back and make a pot of cauliflower and tomato and egg soup. She had to go early Find someone to discuss repairing the door.

As long as we discuss it today, we can get started tomorrow morning.

　As I said before, the background of the Daxi Dynasty in this book is that the business development is very prosperous, so the heroine's recipes can only be sold for 20 taels.Even in this village, there are quite a few houses built with bricks and tiles, so the village is not particularly poor.
