Chapter 52 Vanves

On weekdays, there would never be so many people surrounding the school entrance.

Cui Hejin saw everyone blocking the door and wanted to ask everyone to give way before entering the school.

But at this moment, he heard everyone's discussion.

"It's really dangerous."

"No, just hearing it is scary."

"What's going on in the school? Don't you hire craftsmen to repair the house regularly? If it hits someone, everyone will be dead."

"You can't say that. Even if you don't die, you will be maimed. You have to know that the entire kitchen roof collapsed. I live next to it and heard the loud bang."

"Fortunately, my family always lets the children go home for lunch and won't go to the kitchen at all."

"But I heard that if Master Cui didn't go back at noon, he would heat up food in the back kitchen. Fortunately, Master Cui is not here today. If Master Cui was here, he would be buried in it..."

Everyone was talking in a flurry of words.

Cui Hejin could no longer hear the sounds behind him, and his head buzzed.

My mind was filled with the sound just now, and the whole kitchen collapsed!

And he happened to be preparing to heat up food in the kitchen at noon, if not...

His cold and picturesque eyebrows seemed to suddenly take on a dark color.

His face was also slightly pale.

Someone came from behind and happened to see Cui Hejin shouting: "Master Cui, you are here!"

When the people surrounding the door heard the sound, they turned around and looked at Cui Hejin and said, "Oh, Master Cui, it's great that you're okay."

"I heard from my Xiaozhuang that your wife called you away. Fortunately, after you left, the kitchen collapsed within a short time."

"Mr. Li asked a craftsman to come over and take a look. He said that the beams in the back kitchen were in disrepair and the kitchen was often useless, so Mr. Li never asked anyone to repair it..."

"It's really a coincidence. It seems that your wife is blessed and can make you prosperous."

Some people are more superstitious and think that Master Cui's wife just happened to call him away, allowing Master Cui to avoid danger, which means that his wife is a prosperous husband.

Speaking of Jiang Zhiluo, Cui Hejin's solemn and deep eyes seemed to be filled with gentle moonlight, as if they contained a touch of tenderness that was not easily revealed.

Cui Hejin said calmly: "Thank you all!"

After nodding greetings to everyone, he entered the school.

Mr. Li was still watching from the kitchen.

Cui Hejin went over and saw the collapsed pile of wood. His expression changed slightly. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li!"

Mr. Li looked back at Cui Hejin and sighed: "Fortunately you are not in the kitchen. It is my negligence that the kitchen is in disrepair."

"But your wife is indeed a good person."

Cui Hejin stood there quietly, with the aura of tranquility all over his body, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this time.



In the Cui family of Donghe Village, Jiang Zhiluo counted the time and knew that Cui Hejin would be fine when she returned to school, so she felt relieved.

Jiang Zhiluo boiled medicine for Mrs. Cui and let her drink it.

After Mrs. Cui drank the medicine, she couldn't help but ask: "Mother Yao, what shall we do in the afternoon? I will listen to your arrangements."

"Mom, I'm trying to figure out what to eat."

Mrs. Cui was stunned and said: "Zhiluo, are you talking about setting up a stall to sell food?"

"Well, just over there at the pier or at the market. It's better to do food business than selling brown sugar maltose."

"We sell brown sugar maltose. At most, the business is better in the first few days. As time goes by, fewer people buy it. These things are not daily necessities, but they are for food."

Jiang Zhiluo has been thinking about this matter.

Not to mention that making brown sugar and maltose is troublesome and time-consuming. Even if people buy these things, they won’t eat them every day.

But the food is different. If it is delicious, many people will buy it and eat it every day.

Mrs. Cui thought about it and said: "Yes, Zhiluo, what you said makes sense. That is, everyone buys candy during the New Year and festivals, and they don't buy it every day, but for those who are busy in the town, they don't buy it every day.

, If you don’t bring dry food with you at noon, you have to buy something to eat.”

"I see those who sell steamed buns. They can sell all the steamed buns in several steamers a day."

"At least a few hundred steamed buns, three cents for the ingredients, five cents for the meat filling, at least one tael of silver a day."

Do the math and it's more cost-effective than the brown sugar maltose they make.

Mrs. Cui didn't dare to think about setting up a food stall before, but after eating Zhiluo's cooking, she gained confidence.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "It's okay, mother, just go and have a rest. Don't worry, I'll think about it myself first."

In fact, she has many business ideas in her mind, but she needs to think carefully about the specific food stall.

Besides, it is better to start a small business at the beginning, the lower the cost, the better.

Mrs. Cui couldn't sit still. She had nothing to do at home in the afternoon, so she said to Jiang Zhiluo: "Zhiluo, then you have a rest at home, and I'll go out for a walk."

Mrs. Cui put her basket on her back and went out.

Jiang Zhiluo sat in the yard and wondered whether to make a leek box or set up a wonton stall.

She knew that many people who were busy outside liked to eat something with hot soup. When they sat down to eat a bowl of wontons and then drank some wonton soup after they were full, they would feel very comfortable.

But if you set up a wonton stall, a bowl of wontons costs fifteen or six cents, which is actually profitable.

And if you want to serve wontons, you can make them at home in advance and then go to a stall in town to cook them fresh.

She can make wontons with a lot of fillings, and the wonton skins are thin, so she doesn’t need too much dough.

However, the leek box can also be made at home. When you go to the town, someone will buy it and fry it on the spot.

Spring has just begun and the weather is still a bit cold, so there is no need to worry about things breaking.

You can also braise pig meat, and the seasonings you bought before are also available.

In fact, braised pigs are the least expensive thing to do.

Jiang Zhiluo wondered whether she should braise the pigs and sell them first to see how the business went.

As she thought about it, she took out the seasonings she had bought earlier, thinking that she would go to town and buy some pairs of pig water from Lin Zhuzhu.

Although every time she bought meat or ribs, Lin Zhuzhu would give her a pair of pig's guts as a gift, but if she didn't buy meat, she would still have to spend money to buy the pig's guts.

Fortunately, the price of buying pig litter separately is relatively low.

Three pennies can buy a big bucket.

Just when Jiang Zhiluo was about to go out, Jiang Xiangchuan walked towards this side with five-year-old Jiang Yunxuan.

Jiang Xiangchuan pushed the small dining cart with the bellows on it, and Xuanxuan also helped push it, walking on his legs, looking very serious.

When he saw Jiang Zhiluo, Jiang Yunxuan said excitedly: "Sister!"

Jiang Zhiluo was very happy when she saw her father and younger brother coming, and said in surprise: "Dad, Xuan Xuan."

She looked at the things her father was pushing and her feet were not moving smoothly, and it hurt even when she looked at them. However, her father still came all the way to deliver the small dining cart to her.

Jiang Xiangchuan was also very happy when he saw his daughter, and said with a smile: "My daughter, this is the small dining car you mentioned, and this is the bellows, they are all ready."

Xuanxuan said in a sweet voice: "Sister, the bellows is so easy to use. Now I can help my parents pull the bellows and light the fire."

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "Xuanxuan is really amazing."

After being praised by her sister, Xuanxuan's face showed a happy smile, which was very cute.

She held her brother with one hand and pushed the small dining cart with the other hand, saying, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Xiangchuan waved his hand and said, "Daughter, it's okay. Dad won't go in. I'll just go back after giving you something."
