Chapter 6

The town is very lively, and there are many pedestrians coming and going, whether it is a magnificent restaurant and tea house, or a dazzling small stall, everything is there.

In particular, small stalls selling food can be seen everywhere, and there is no lack of shouting and shouting everywhere.

Shen Yunjin looked around and said, "Then let's have a good meal of meat pies at noon today, there is a shop selling meat pies in front, let's go there and eat."

Jing Er burst into laughter immediately, and trotted forward cheerfully. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten meat, but he was so greedy.

When he arrived in front of the stall, Shen Yunjin looked at the meatloaf on the cage.

This meatloaf is very thick, the crust on the outside looks very thin, and the meat filling inside is naturally rich, and it smells very good, as if it is delicious.

The boss who sells meat pies smiled at her courteously, "Girl, let's have some meat pies. The meat pies cost three pennies each, just out of the pan."

"Then let's have nine cakes, choose the big one." Shen Yunjin took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and said.

"Okay."

The boss moved swiftly, and quickly wrapped the cakes in paper.

Shen Yunjin thought, nine pieces of meat pie, three pieces per person, will definitely be full, and if there are leftovers, it is okay to take them home for dinner.

But if you only eat meatloaf, will it be too dry?

"Boss, how do you sell this meat porridge in your house?" Shen Yunjin pointed to a pot of porridge next to him.

"Porridge is also two pennies a bowl, but since the girl has bought so many cakes, I can give you one penny a bowl."

Shen Yunjin nodded, and gave three more copper coins from his hand, "Let's have three more bowls of meat porridge, please bring them to the table over there later."

After she finished speaking, she took the meatloaf and walked over to sit with her younger siblings.

Jing'er looked at the hot meatloaf with bright eyes, he swallowed, and asked, "Sister, can I eat now?"

"Of course, eat it quickly." Shen Yunjin said, and distributed the meatloaf to Yunwen and Jinger.At this time, the owner of the stall also served three bowls of meat porridge.

Both Yunwen and Jing'er started to eat with big mouthfuls, both of them had happy faces, and Shen Yunjin saw her younger siblings eating happily, a sense of fulfillment spontaneously arose in her heart.

The taste of the meatloaf is very good. The meat inside is fat and thin, and it tastes fragrant but not greasy. It is a delicious meal when paired with warm meat porridge.

After the three of them were full, there were still two pieces of meat pie left on the table. Shen Yunjin wrapped the meat pie in paper and put it in the basket that he carried with him.

"Let's look around, I want to see if we can sell something in the town." Shen Yunjin stood up and said to Yunwen Jing'er.

Given the current economic situation of their family, Shen Yunjin had to find something to earn a living, or else he would soon fall into the predicament of starvation for the whole family again.

Then, the three of them left the meatloaf stall and strolled around for a while.

After looking around, Shen Yunjin found that the most sold in the town were food and some small gadgets, such as nets and bracelets, but she didn't know these handicrafts, and she couldn't learn them in a short time. It's easy, so it can't be sold.

As for what to eat, she has some ideas.

Yunwen looked at her and came up with an idea: "Sister, why don't we pick some pickles and sell them, after all, vegetables are relatively cheap, and you don't need to spend too much money to make them."

Shen Yunjin shook his head and explained, "The cost of pickles is certainly cheap, but selling pickles alone doesn't make much money, and there are pickles everywhere here. It's not easy to make money, but it's not very interesting."

She thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I want to make pastries and other pasta and sell them in the town. What do you think? We can sell some pasta that others don't often sell, so that we can attract more customers. You can sell more, and the cost is not too expensive."

"pasta?"

Yunwen and Jinger thought about it for a while, and they agreed.

"I think it's very good. It's not difficult to make pasta now. My brother and I can help my sister do it." Yunwen said.

Jing Er nodded, "Yes, how about we make some tonight and sell them tomorrow."

Seeing that her younger sister and younger brother are both so hardworking and willing to work, Shen Yunjin smiled. As long as the three of them are willing to live together and work hard, nothing can be difficult for them.

"Okay, let's come to the town to sell things tomorrow and check the market."

Now that they planned to start a small business tomorrow, they had to prepare well today. It was getting late, and the three of Shen Yunjin and his brother started to walk home.

On the way back, Jing'er was bouncing back and forth with the basket, but her clothes accidentally rubbed against a branch, and a hole was scratched on the underside of her jacket.

Yun Wen tidied his clothes and said, "It's okay, I'll sew it for you when I get home, but you have to watch the way carefully, no matter how bad this gown is, you can't wear it."

Shen Yunjin glanced at the clothes on his younger siblings, and his heart trembled slightly. The clothes of the whole family had been washed and turned white, and the patches on them looked particularly eye-catching when they were piled together. It was time to make some new clothes.

She fumbled for the money in her pocket, gritted her teeth and pulled her hand back. She still had to use the money for a small business, so she couldn't spend it all. Now she could only wrong the two children for the time being.

Shen Yunjin secretly thought that as soon as she made money, she would definitely make new clothes for her younger siblings.

After walking for more than half an hour, the three of them returned home.

Shen Yunjin sat on the small wooden bench and rested for a while, she said to Yunwen and Jinger, "You two are tired after walking for so long, go to the kang to rest for a while."

Yun Wen didn't go to the kang, but instead asked, "Sister, have you figured out what to sell tomorrow?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yunjin already had a plan in her mind, she said thoughtfully, "I saw a lot of small vendors in the town today selling buns and pancakes, and some people were selling different kinds of dim sum. Thinking that if we want to sell, we have to sell something that is different from others, and it must be easier to make. I thought about it, let’s make some pumpkin pies first and sell them.”

In the past, Shen Yunjin was fond of cooking and liked to taste different delicacies, but now she has limited ingredients and the economic conditions are a bit harsh. Otherwise, she can make more delicious and delicate pastries, not just pumpkin cakes. Simple enough.

"Pumpkin pie?" Yunwen was a little curious, "Can you make it, sister?"

She had never eaten pumpkin pie before, nor had she seen her sister make pumpkin pie, so she felt strange.

Shen Yunjin made up an excuse casually, and prevaricated, "I haven't done it either, but I've seen others make this in the past, so I thought of giving it a try. There are few pumpkin pies in the town, and I think this one should be able to do it." Good sale."
