I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 19 Division of Labor
"let me tell you……"

Before Ning Lao San got close to his wife, he couldn't help but want to tell her how popular it was to sell pastries in the town this time.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ning Pengpeng coughed hard and suppressed them back.

Ning Lao San could only wink at Wang Shi who was eager to see through, and said that after returning to the house next time, the two of them would have a good talk.

Ning Pengpeng didn't want to watch the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between their husband and wife, so he sat down on the long stool in the middle of the living room, poured a big glass of boiled water, drank a big glass full, and felt that he was alive now. coming!

No, she can't do the job of going to the market every day.

Don't make a lot of money by then, and kill yourself so much!

Anyway, the third child went to sell pastries with him this time, so let him take the fourth child with him tomorrow to supervise each other, it should be no problem.

It's just that, with more than half a catty of brown sugar yesterday, only a hundred or so pastries were made.

Even if I make all the two catties of brown sugar today, it is estimated that I can only make about [-] yuan.

Calculated at three yuan and ten Wen, you can earn about 900 Wen, deducting the cost of peas, red beans, mung beans, glutinous rice, brown sugar, and the wages for those who sell cakes and make cakes at home. Pure profit It is estimated that there are more than [-] articles.

In fact, the most expensive carriage is the horse. After all, the horse has to be transported thousands of miles from the north. Dahuaishu Village belongs to the south. If you buy a horse, it will cost at least a few dozen taels.

Coupled with the frame, it is another sum of money.

In fact, buying a horse-drawn cart is not as good as buying an ox cart.

After all, cattle can also go down to the land to cultivate the land.

Of course, in Ning Pengpeng's eyes, this cow has other uses.

However, a calf costs at least a dozen taels of silver.

If she really wanted to do that, the cow must be indispensable.

Therefore, these days, she has to strive to earn the money for buying cattle as soon as possible.

With a "snap", Ning Pengpeng put the empty cup on the table, and said to Ning Laosan and Wang Shi.

"Go, wake up Xiaosi, and then, take out all the beans you have at home. Since the family has been separated, I don't want to take yours for nothing. I will pay you eight cents for everything."

When she heard Ning Pengpeng's words at the beginning, Wang couldn't help but glanced at Ning Laosan, the family was just separated, why did they take the food they were about to share?

When she heard the next sentence, Wang's face lit up immediately, but she did not forget to reply politely.

"Mother, this is so heretic. If you want some beans, a daughter-in-law should be filial."

Ning Pengpeng glanced at her and said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense to my old lady, if you say that again, I will take it seriously!"

Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Wang didn't dare to talk too much, and hurriedly went back to the house with a quick hey, and took out all the beans that he had just distributed the day before yesterday.

When Mrs. Qian saw it, she was eager to try it, but yesterday she said she would not participate in the pastry business, and now she sells the beans for money. I don't know if her mother-in-law will scold her?

"Mr. Qian, it's the same with your house. If you have beans you want to sell, just take them out, and I will charge you the same price as the third child."

Ning Pengpeng glanced at her, then looked at the row of radish heads at the door of the second room, and said angrily.

"Hey, okay, mother, thank you mother."

When Mrs. Qian heard her mother-in-law's words, she nodded her head again and again as if she had been favored, and almost knelt down and kowtowed.

There is not much miscellaneous grains in the family, and the total amount is only about one hundred catties. After dividing it into six parts, the family only got less than twenty catties.

I used up almost ten catties of my portion yesterday.

If we do it now, if we add the beans from the second, third, and fourth families, and the youngest daughter's share, it will weigh about [-] catties, which is only enough for two days at most.

Therefore, Ning Pengpeng called Ning Laosan to go to the village to collect beans, peanuts, and eggs first, and took Xiao Si and Wang Shi to soak the beans and glutinous rice first.

Peanuts, wait for her to make sugar first, then make delicious ones.

Anyway, I will do it later, so I will collect some and save it first.

It would be even better if he could take the opportunity to squeeze out peanut oil.

It's just that this meal has to be eaten bite by bite. The small goal now is to buy a bullock cart first.

The same is true for sugarcane, Ning Pengpeng feels that the reason why people in the village don’t know how to make brown sugar is that, as a modern person, she takes it for granted that everyone knows about sugar making and other recipes .

In fact, in ancient times, no matter what kind of prescription it was, it was a secret recipe of a certain family.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Ning Lao San to not know how to make brown sugar.

Similarly, this also reminded Ning Pengpeng.

Although she has mastered knowledge that people today cannot know, but this knowledge cannot be exposed all at once.

Today's Ning family is just a farmer in the village!
If she used all kinds of modern prescriptions carelessly, what was waiting for her might not be the gold and silver treasures, but wolves, tigers and leopards.

After all, who would not be malicious when they see a child holding a big gold brick and wandering in the street majesticly?
So, set a small goal first and take your time.

Ning Laosan went out and received [-] catties each of peas, red beans and mung beans at the price of five cents a catty.

The peanut kernels received directly from the peanuts were collected at a price of seven cents per catty, and they received fifty catties.

After all, most of these are planted in a ridge of land in front of the house, fried during the Chinese New Year, and a bite for the children is considered a snack.

As for glutinous rice, there are not many people who grow it, because it can be used to make zongzi, which is a grain like rice, so the price is much more expensive. Even if it is thirteen coins a catty, they only receive [-] catties.

In this way, more than two liang of silver was spent directly.

As for two eggs for a penny, I bought a basket of about sixty eggs, which was only thirty pennies.

Compared with the two or two taels of silver, it is nothing compared to the big witch.

Wang Shi and Qian Shi didn't expect that the mother-in-law would collect so much glutinous rice at such an expensive price without blinking an eye. They suddenly thought that they didn't take out the few catties of glutinous rice they got allotted, and they really regretted it.

Ning Pengpeng seemed to be aware of their thoughts, and asked Xiao Si to put the finished pea yellow down the well.

"If there is not enough glutinous rice in the future, if you are willing, you can pay the same price."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the third child to move all the miscellaneous grains into his house.

"Okay, mother."

Wang Shi responded vigorously, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

"By the way, Mrs. Wang, in the future, Xiaosi and I will have some delicious meals, so you can cook! Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."

Locking up the food, Ning Pengpeng thought about it, making this pastry every day was exhausting enough, if she had to cook and serve the cheap little son and daughter, she would not be happy.

Thinking of the eggs and leeks made by Wang's before, although there was not much oil and water, the taste was good, so he directly said to her.
