Almighty peasant girl

Chapter 10

Family Liu is in charge of money. Even though he made a lot of money during this time, he was used to being frugal and never thought about spending too much on food.

During this period of time, it was quite busy, and Shen Yunyao didn't think much about eating meat, but now that she remembered it, she couldn't bear it any longer without eating meat for so long.

The free meat in the countryside is not just fish in the river or wild animals in the mountains.It just takes a little work to get it home.

On this day, Shen Yunyao specially made a fishing rod, and asked the eldest brother to go fishing and come back.

Now she can't go get some prey herself, and prepare the tools, which may be used in a while.

For her small physique, it is laborious to draw a bow, but it is easier to use a small crossbow.

Before the big brother came back from fishing, she cut out the parts of the crossbow out of cloth.

"Sister, today the fish is quite big, it can weigh two or three pounds, and I caught two."

Shen Yunhao carried two large grass carp buckets, and shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard.

When Shen Yunyao heard the elder brother's words, her eyes lit up, she propped herself up with one arm, and shouted, "Then one of these two fish is steamed, and the other is made into fish soup. The fish's stomach is clean, especially the black film, Get rid of it. Otherwise, it will smell fishy."

"Got it, ma'am."

"Xiaohao, is your mother at home?"

A thin woman in her 30s stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked Shen Yunhao who was busy in the courtyard.

"Mother, Aunt Huang is here." He called inside.

Mrs Liu was cooking ice cream porridge in the kitchen, and hurried out after hearing this, "Do you want to get today's ice cream? How much?"

Aunt Huang just stepped into the yard, and six people came in behind.

Aunt Huang said, "I don't have to make my share of the ice cream tomorrow. I will take all the ice cream I ordered yesterday."

The rest of the people also said that there is no need to make tomorrow's, and they took today's.

"What's wrong?" Liu Shi felt that the attitude of these people was a bit strange, not as enthusiastic as before.

"Many people are making ice cream now, which is cheaper than yours. Don't dislike us for not buying yours. Who doesn't want to earn more?"

"Yeah, I asked you a few days ago if you would lower the price. You said that the cost was there, and it couldn't be lowered."

"I also asked. Your ice cream started to sell well for a while. Others appeared one after another, and they can't sell anymore."

"Who doesn't want to make more money, but now there are always a dozen or so roots to be melted in the end, and they can only be sold cheaply. Who can stand it for less than ten cents a day."

Several people shouted at each other.

Liu Shi knows their careful thinking, either they really don't want to buy again, or they come together to put pressure on the price to drop.

In fact, she also found that during this time, many people followed the trend of making ice cream at home, and it was time to consider what A Yao said about selling cold noodles.

With a bitter expression on her face, she said, "The cost is here, it really can't be reduced. Thank you sisters for caring about my family. In this case, my family will not be sold from tomorrow."

Aunt Huang and the others persuaded them for a while, but seeing that Liu's mind was firm, they stopped persuading them and left one after another.

"Mother has decided to sell the cold noodles you mentioned. There is a wharf three miles away from our village, and the town is five miles away from the village. Where should we go?" .

Shen Yunyao had never been out of the village before, so she didn't know how the flow of people in these two places was, so she had to say, "Go to the wharf to try it first, and if it doesn't sell well, then go to the town."

Mrs Liu said, "You're right. I've been to that pier before. There are quite a lot of boats, and many people stop there. I just don't know if there are any other places to set up stalls. I'll go check it out in the afternoon."

In fact, we can sell noodle pressing machines in large quantities at home, or sell dry noodles directly, but it is hard to say whether there is a market.

Shen Yunyao thought of this, the times are different and the market is different. Only by testing the water can you know the market demand.

Liu Shi solved a problem and went out to cook lightly.

Drinking a mouthful of milky white fish soup and eating a mouthful of tender fish, Shen Yunyao's taste buds were satisfied.

The little babies Shen Yunhan and Shen Yunzhen were eating the fish that their mother had picked out for them, dancing with excitement, and they didn't stop eating.

When Shen Yunhao was fishing, they helped to catch earthworms as bait by the river, which is also a credit to them.

The fish that has passed its own hands is fragrant!

After the two little guys were full, they couldn't wait to take out their fans to fan the air, and they sweated profusely after drinking the soup.

Shen Yunyao felt a sense of joy when she saw the twins shaking fans in unison, and she felt a little hot.

It would be nice to have a fan.

She considered the possibility of making a mechanical fan.

If you use water as power, you can get a large water tank, but adding water every day is laborious enough.

Her home is on the edge of the village, close to the river, and only about 20 steps away.

Make a big waterwheel and put it in the river, and you can do more water-powered things at home, such as stone mills, threshers, etc., and you can also divert water to your home, saving you the danger of fetching water from the river.

However, in this way, her home will become a scene of eight townships, and she will also become a celebrity.

It's not a good thing for her to change too much in a short period of time.

It is best to change slowly, so that people can see it without being abrupt.

"Brothers and sisters, oh my, they're all eating, your family has made a fortune, and you've eaten all the fish." Zhao said yin and yang angrily, "We are a family with broken bones and tendons, and when we make a fortune, we can pull it off. Take care of your own family. Don't be like those white-eyed wolves."

Hearing Zhao's gentle and shrill voice, Shen Yunyao shuddered and got goosebumps.

She really doesn't like this auntie, it doesn't matter if she is thick-skinned, the main thing is that this voice sounds strange and uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, Auntie looks like a dog's nose, but whenever there is a little thing at home, she can come over immediately.

Shen Yunyao thought, Auntie didn't send someone to watch her specifically, right?
She really thought about it.

Zhao's daughter, Shen Yunyan, was very calm when she heard the second aunt's words after leaving the ancestral hall, but she paid attention to the movements of Shen Yunyao's family every day, waiting for a favorable opportunity to retaliate, and told her mother about the situation here.

The eldest uncle has two sons and a daughter, and the second uncle has a son and a daughter.I heard that the aunt's first child was a son, and she often laughed at her own mother, who was not pregnant three years after marriage, as a hen that did not lay eggs.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao always wanted to overwhelm her sister-in-law. Seeing that the third family was earning a living, she was not so jealous.

Shen Yunzhen reminded kindly in a milky voice: "Big brother caught this fish from the river. Auntie wants to eat it, and there are still more in the river."

Liu Shi also defended: "Sister-in-law, you didn't see that people stopped buying my ice cream just now, and it's only been sold for a few days. Alas, all the money I earned has been eaten by my stomach. My Yao girl still owes a lot of money for medicine. Sister-in-law, can you lend me some?"

Mr. Zhao just came to hear if the few people who came here just now have any chance to make money. Now, Mrs. Liu said that he borrowed money, and immediately wanted to slip away.

"Hey, does your family still need to borrow money? My family still has a lot of debt. I haven't fed the pigs yet, so I'll go first."

Zhao shi walked out while talking, and soon disappeared.

Liu Shi cut, "I knew that it would be impossible for anyone to pick something out of her hand."

The whole family ate in Shen Yunyao's house, only Liu Shi and Shen Yunhao had not finished eating.

Taking advantage of Shen Yunhao's presence, Shen Yunyao hurriedly said, "Yunhao, after you eat, give these pieces of cloth to the carpenter to make parts. It's still hardwood. I'll tell you the size after you finish eating."

"Okay, sister, what are you doing this time?" Shen Yunhao responded excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
