Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Some of the ten acres of land in front of the Shen family are still confiscated. We have to collect all we can before the freeze, and we also need to expand the cellar.

In fact, the Shen family dug two cellars in total. One was under the east corner of the front yard. She asked someone to bring in blue bricks. Rather than calling it a cellar, it would be more appropriate to call it a basement.

The surrounding walls are paved with blue bricks, green ash is used to eliminate insects, and lime is used to isolate moisture.

She asked people to deliver a lot of blue bricks, so others didn't know that she also dug a tunnel behind the house, which led to the foot of the mountain, more than 30 meters long. At the end, it was built against the mountain, and a very hidden underground tunnel was built. refuge.

This matter needs to be kept secret, but at the same time, it also needs people to do it.

After much deliberation, she secretly called Liu Heng aside and asked him and Luo Qin to take turns.

Liu Heng knew that this was used for refuge, and his boss also said that he had an old man and a young child in his family, so they would need it when the time came.

Thinking of this, Liu Heng became more serious.

Along the mountain, two houses were dug out and covered with turf. When the turf comes back to life and grows next year, nothing can be seen from the outside.

Inside the house, a layer of bricks was first laid, then a layer of lime was applied to prevent moisture, then a layer of wooden boards was ordered, and a skylight was made, which can be opened for ventilation and a little light.

When the cellar was first built, Shen Qing followed the Zhao family.

The Zhao brothers also brought a lot of goods this time, including hundreds of carriages and hundreds of escorts. The vast force stretched for two miles.

Zhao Jue came to pick her up in person, knowing that she didn't have enough carriages, so he brought ten, but it turned out that it was still not enough. The goods Shen Qing brought were enough to load twenty carts.

She not only brought kimchi, but also a lot of miso, as well as winter preserved vegetables, various pickles, and just ten jars of chili sauce. They were all pickled just right. You can smell the fragrant spicy aroma when you open the lid. It’s simply a perfect meal starter.

There was no other way, Zhao Jue could only ask someone to bring ten more carriages.

After tying a rope and feeding the horses, they were about to set off.

The Shen family arrived at the entrance of Yueya Village, which is now considered a small village. Xu Lu suggested that this place be changed into a village, and it would be called Yueya Village from now on. He wrote a letter and sent it to the Yamen.

Changing the name cannot be decided by oneself. It must be recorded in the county annals, so it must be approved by the Yamen.

This matter is not difficult to handle. If the money is in place, there is nothing difficult to solve.

A few days after she left, documents from the county government came down, along with a stone tablet and asked them to find someone to carve it and erect it at the entrance of the village.

As for the caravan, to be precise, it should be called the caravan carrying goods.

Zhao Jue picked her up and walked for half a day before meeting up with his brother, and they all embarked on a long journey together.

Not long after we left Pingchuan County, it started to snow, and the weather was bitingly cold.

Shen Qing observed that in the entire caravan, apart from her and Luo Qin, there were only two strong cooks and no more women.

For the sake of convenience, they were placed in a carriage, which was a treatment reserved for women. Even so, the carriage was filled with things, including bedding, clothes, and food. The free space was barely enough for them to squeeze in. Sit together.

Only when you are taking a break from cooking can you get out of the car and stretch your legs.

In order to go on the road, when they wake up in the morning, they have to cook a meal, eat very hard, and feed the horses. This is the most important thing.

Then it was on the road, almost never stopping to rest, and at most giving the horses water and food, and then it was dark.Because the team was so large that no inn could accommodate it. Besides, they were going straight to Yancheng and did not need to unload the goods on the way, so they basically did not enter towns and slept in the wild.

Anyway, there are many people, so the carriages are surrounded together like a fortress, and the horses are put together. Some people take turns watching the horses at night, some take turns watching the goods, some are responsible for security patrols, and some are responsible for food. If necessary, purchase must be made. Some people will leave on horseback in advance to purchase goods in nearby towns.

Shen Qing's twenty carts of goods were fully loaded. When they were merged into the team, some people were still curious about what she had brought.

In order not to make anyone jealous, Shen Qing calmly took a bag of kimchi and asked the cook to add more vegetables to everyone.

Seeing that she was bringing pickles, some burst into laughter, some shook their heads, and most were speechless.

To transport pickles all the way to the border is either a brain defect, a disease of the brain, or someone who doesn't understand business at all.

Zhao Jue purchased a lot of preserved eggs and even prepared a lot of stinky tofu, which he wanted to take to the border for sale.

Furthermore, he has been in business for so many years, and he has no idea what truly profitable business is.

So he didn't laugh at Shen Qing. Instead, after tasting the taste, he talked to Shen Qing about future cooperation, "You can't go to the border all the time. If your special pickles sell well, do you have to give them to me?"

Shen Qing was sitting in the tent right now, with a small charcoal stove in front of him.

The tent was a cowhide tent she had made before. When it was set up at night, it was just right for her and Luo Qin to sleep in it and also cook.

When she opened and set up the tent the next night, the two Zhao brothers were stunned.

The two of them are traveling around all year round, so they haven't thought about setting up a tent.

Firstly, the materials were not easy to organize, and secondly, they felt that it was more difficult to build. Finally, they and the guys lived and ate in the same room, so it was not good to make it too special.

But Shen Qing put up the tent, and they were still jealous.

After thinking about it, he got into the tent, looked here and touched there.

When the tent is fully opened, the space inside is seven or eight square meters, and the shape can be changed, whether it is large or small. If you want it to be larger, just open one side completely, and one wall will be exposed.

So there were several of them sitting inside, and it didn't seem crowded.

Shen Qing put a bag of hot pot ingredients into the boiling water, then glanced at him, "That's natural. I like to make money, but I'm lazy. I'm exhausted from such a trip. I plan to go to the capital to have a look in the future. , as for bitter and cold places like Border Pass, going there once is enough."

Zhao Jue got excited and said excitedly: "The kimchi made by your family is sweet and spicy, which is best eaten by northerners. Hey, this is hot pot? You turned out to be a hot pot so quickly?"

Shen Qing showed him the ingredient package, "The hot pot ingredients added with butter can be completely solidified in winter. You see, but when put in a pot and stirred by hot water, it becomes a pot of delicious soup. You can boil whatever you want. , even cooking noodles is no problem at all.”

She brought vegetables with her when she left. It was cold and they wouldn't spoil easily if left alone.

Just wash it and scald it twice in a pot and you can eat it. There is also cut lamb and some pork.

Huo Lin smelled the smell, opened the curtain and came in, "It smells so good! Do you want to eat hot pot tonight?"

As soon as the curtain was opened, the smell wafted out, and people outside naturally smelled it and looked over.

Zhao Ye shouted and asked what they were cooking and rushed in.
