Travel through ancient times to farm

Chapter 2 Making Money ([-])

Boss Li has opened many restaurants, and he is considered wealthy in this land. His relatives are officials in the imperial court, so it is said that he has a lot of background.

"Let's leave after you finish this tea, our restaurant is not something you can afford." He didn't understand that there were only two women and children, but he was asked to be the leader, this little girl couldn't do a job.

Daxuan saw that this person was dressed in silk and satin, he was thin but energetic, his eyes were full of shrewdness, he could tell that he was someone who could make decisions.

"Today I'm not here for tea, but I have a dish to teach you, eel soup." She said it clearly, without considering how funny it was from a ten-year-old girl.

Boss Li smiled contemptuously, "We have a lot of excellent cooks here, and we don't need a little baby to teach them." Everyone knows that no one eats rice field eels, and they have a strong fishy smell.

"Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You have such tastes every day, and one day customers will get tired of it," Da Xuan said.

"Ms. Li has opened many stores. Although he is not talented, he still knows how to manage his own business. You are too busy, little boy." Obviously he doesn't like this.

"Why don't we make a bet, I bet you are interested in my recipe, if I lose, I will sign a contract of sale to you." Da Xuan said, the ancients are not as easy-talking as in novels, they are very shrewd.

At this time, many people gathered in the hall, and everyone was not in the mood to eat. They were paying attention to these two people. Who wouldn't be interested in Xiaowa betting with the rich boss?
"Okay, if you lose, you sign the deed of sale to me, and all the guests will be witnesses." Boss Li is a businessman, and of course he has to do this kind of business that is sure to make money without losing money.

It’s time for dinner, and the chefs in the kitchen were kicked out, and many people were watching outside the door. Daxuan cut ginger and garlic, put oil in the pot and fried the rice field eel until cooked, then put water, ginger and garlic to cook until the soup was fragrant. Creamy white, seasoned with salt and pepper.

People here use pepper as medicine. Last night Daxuan saw peppercorns at home, so she ground it into powder, which is the best seasoning for soup.

Sure enough, a pot of eel soup came out, and the chef couldn't help but gather around it. Da Xuan made ten bowls of soup, not only for Boss Li and the cook, but also for the onlookers to taste.

After one bite, I felt my stomach warmed up a lot. The soup was milky white and delicious, without the smell of earthy smell, and even the eel meat was tender.

Everyone suggested that restaurants should serve this dish.

Boss Li was convinced, "Little baby is really amazing. You just sold me this soup recipe and the following seasonings. You just have no eyes." He can taste it. Compared with his own soup, it has more flavor. If it can be made into a big dish, the profit is not low.

"It must be sold. I don't know how much the boss is going to pay for this soup." Da Xuan didn't know the price here, and her mother Yao certainly didn't know either, so she simply asked him to make a price first.

"A tael of silver is good," Boss Li's eyes were shrewd, and it was the little baby who spoke all the time. The women around her kept silent, most of whom were from the countryside and didn't understand anything.

If it was Daxuan from before, she would have happily agreed, but no, she is a girl with a mental age of 26, there is no way to cheat her.

"Boss Li knows how to do business. You have to start with one or two dishes in your restaurant. I just sold this soup to you, and the cost is low and the profit is high. You can send me one or two taels of silver. Although I am small, I can make this soup." The dishes must be other than that, is Boss Li going to push me to the opposite restaurant?" Da Xuan sneered.

Boss Li couldn't calm down anymore. He and the restaurant across the street are deadly rivals. As she said, he would lose a lot of money. He laughed and said, "Little baby, you got it wrong, one tael of silver is for you to drink tea, this soup It must be more than one tael, it is worth 20 taels."

After all, tell the shopkeeper to go to the cashier to get 21 taels of silver.

Daxuan thought it would sell for ten taels at most, but she said that it could be sold for 21 taels. She was still angry at what she said just now, and said, "This soup is worth this money. Next time you cheat me, I will go to the restaurant opposite."

She made this dish again, and the cook next to her was listening carefully. When the soup was finished, 20 taels would be ready.

Yao shi was walking down the street with a heavy amount of money in her arms. She couldn't believe that her daughter could earn so much money, which would be enough for the family to spend for three years.

The businessman was really cunning, Da Xuan muttered, even trying to cheat such a cute and smart doll.

"Daxuan, with this money, your father can finally marry the second wife," Yao shi was full of joy, and then his voice gradually faded away.

"What?" Da Xuan couldn't believe it.

"It's mother's fault that she didn't give birth to a son for your father." Yao knew that Daxuan was unwilling, so why would she?There is no male in the family, and he will be looked down upon all his life.

"Mother, I don't agree. I only have one mother, and I don't want a stepmother," Da Xuan said. If I marry another one, the family will definitely be in trouble. She can't see the Yao family being bullied. Monogamy is a good marriage. She doesn't agree with ancient times. Three wives and four concubines.

If one day marries someone, that man must only have her as his wife.

Yao's tears welled up, "Mother doesn't want to, but mother hasn't given birth for many years, mother can't make your father unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life."

Daxuan has no feelings for her so-called father. Regardless of his wife and daughter, he goes out to work to marry a second wife for him. In modern terms, he is a scumbag.

"Father is powerful, so he can marry the second wife by his own ability. We have to live on the 50 taels, save it for him to marry his stepmother, and we will starve to death in a short time." Daxuan didn't want it, and she was not stupid.

"But……"

"Don't be so," Daxuan interrupted her. Yao is good at everything, and the feudal thinking in his bones can't be changed no matter what he says.

Daxuan was unhappy, snatched the money bag, rushed to the nearest clothing store, chose two pieces of material to pay, went to the jewelry store to buy some silver jewelry, and went to the pork stall to buy fat meat, and went home to squeeze the oil. She hadn't had any oil for the day, and her stomach was empty. In the end, she bought a few bunches of candied haws. It seemed that candied haws were delicious when she watched a TV show before. Let's try it today.

Women are sensual animals. They are still angry just now, but they feel happy after shopping.

Yao shi followed behind to carry things, she found that her daughter had lost her temper. She didn't know when it started, but she became smart and assertive all of a sudden.

After tasting the sweetness, Daxuan plans to try a few dishes with rice field eels. Today she cooks braised rice field eels in brown sauce, chops ginger, garlic and chili peppers, handles rice field eels, heats up the pan, puts oil, puts sliced ​​ginger, garlic and chili peppers to saute until fragrant, and then frys rice field eels until cooked , add water and seasoning, boil, after a while, a plate of braised eel is finished.

"Daxuan, accompany me up the mountain to pick mushrooms." The person who came was Hu Niu. Usually the two of them had a good time and often went up the mountain to cut firewood together. Daxuan was brought back by her father.

"What delicious food are you doing? It smells so good," Hu Niu swallowed, her squinted eyes glowing.

"Braised eel in brown sauce, let's eat together." Hu Niu was kind to her, and Da Xuan was willing to share it with her.

"My father said that just after it rained, there were a lot of mushrooms on the mountain," Huniu said. Her brother was going to school. She went to pick mushrooms and paid back the money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for her brother. The brother said that he would teach her how to read in the future.

"Let's go together." It's boring to stay at home, so why not go up the mountain and have a look.

It rained for several days and the road on the mountain was muddy.

"Pheasant, rabbit," Da Xuan said excitedly, but she didn't realize that there were these things on the mountain.

Huniu was speechless, "Daxuan, why are you excited? We see these things every day, and we can't catch them. We have to hunt to catch them." Picked up.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally saw the mushroom in Huniu's mouth. Daxuan couldn't calm down when she saw it. The mushroom cap was brown, the stipe was white, it had hairs and scales, and it had a strong aroma. It was matsutake.Daxuan can tell that she lived with her grandparents in Sichuan before, and matsutake was produced in their place, which was very expensive.

"Huniu, hurry up, this one can sell for a lot of money," Daxuan said quickly. This area is all the same kind of tree, and there are this kind of tree at the root. This is also a rare good tree. Daxuan is not greedy for this tree. It is good to pick matsutake and keep it for yourself. In the past, this thing was rarely eaten, and it was sold to the rich.

The two went back down the mountain after picking. Daxuan agreed with Huniu that she would sell Huniu's two catties of matsutake for her and give her two taels of silver. Huniu didn't expect to sell it for so much money, so she agreed immediately.

Daxuan plans to make matsutake soup for her mother tonight, this fungus has high nutritional value.However, before entering the house, I heard noises in the house, obviously it wasn't her mother, her mother was always soft-spoken.

Daxuan trotted back, and when she entered the door, she saw a fat woman spitting all over the place.

"Ms. Daxuan, why don't you share the two pieces of cloth in your house with your mother, your sister-in-law and me? You are too heartless. You can hide the good things and use them yourself," Qian thought she was very reasonable.

"I plan to share some with you when I have free time today. Sister-in-law, please don't be angry if I've been delayed for a few days." Yao shi was obedient, and she was easy to talk to herself, not to mention her sister-in-law suppressed her with filial piety.

Daxuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, she directly protected Yao Shi behind her, and said loudly, "Grandma, we'll send it over later, why do you and us give it?"

"We are a family, and I am your own sister-in-law, Daxuan, what are you talking about?" Qian was furious, and after not seeing the little brat for two days, her mouth became more and more sharp.

"Why don't you give us a share when your family secretly eats white rice. My family can afford fabrics with their ability, but you work hard on your own. What's the matter if you want to take advantage of others," Da Xuan sneered.

"At the beginning when my mother asked your family to borrow ten Wen, don't you remember what you said? You said that even if your family sent beggars away, you would not borrow money from the poor," Da Xuan said, not caring about how ugly the aunt's face was.

"Daxuan, stop talking," Yao shi panicked, having never seen Qian shi staggering.

"Mother, I will seek justice for you, so that the shrew will not always bully us," Da Xuan was really speechless, hating her mother for nothing.

"Little bastard, who are you calling a shrew," Qian said without choosing a word.

"Call anyone who looks like a shrew," Da Xuan put her hands on her hips, as if she was ready to fight.

"Who taught you to talk to your aunt like this?" The person who came was grandma Liu Shi. She was very dissatisfied with Yao Shi, and she didn't know what evil she did in her previous life. She married a daughter-in-law who couldn't bear grandchildren.

Qian was secretly proud of herself.

However, no one expected that Daxuan ran up to hug her grandmother's thigh and started crying, saying, "Ma'am, I'm going to send you the new cloth I got at home. Ma'am said, you have a lot of clothes this year, so you don't need new materials." , leave it to her, if mother disagrees, there will be no quarrel," she said as if it was true.

Mrs. Liu was furious. Mrs. Qian usually likes to take advantage of others. She knows it, but she never thought that she would also want to take things that her daughter-in-law respects her, "Mrs. , co-author met a white-eyed wolf." Liu believed in Daxuan's words, after all, Yao was usually filial, although she still didn't like Yao.

"Little bastard, you are talking nonsense, am I that kind of person?" Qian was furious.

"I don't know what kind of person you are," obviously Liu didn't believe her.

"My aunt asks my mother every year to suggest that I give less food to grandma, but my mother disagrees. Auntie, do you still remember this matter?" Daxuan was ten years old, and anyone who heard it felt that she was unintentional.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she covered her chest. As she got older, her chest hurt when she got angry. She cursed, "Mr. Qian, you poisonous woman, you are going to starve my elders to death. Why are you so bad-hearted? I'm going to sleep with you."
