Food, clothing, housing and transportation cover all aspects of human life. As long as you live in this world, you cannot live without these four things.

Clothes in this era are nothing more than silk, cotton and linen as raw materials, woven on looms, and then cut into ready-made clothes to wear. It seems that there are not many steps, but there are many patterns, and there are dozens of kinds of fabrics alone. In this regard,

Without a certain understanding of knowledge, it is impossible to get involved in this industry. Of course, those with deep pockets are exempt. In the face of capital, everything is not a problem.

"Don't even think about this. It's not something you can do with a small cost."

Zhang Yingda deeply believed what Chang Xi said. With his pitifully small cost, let alone doing business in this industry, it was difficult to just buy a decent set of clothes.

In terms of housing, it is even simpler. In a nutshell, it is houses and house-related businesses, such as wood, bricks and other raw materials related to building houses.

In ancient times, there were masons who specialized in this, and they were skilled workers.

"In other words, if you want to get involved in this industry now, it's no different than carrying a big bag at the dock. And with your small body, they don't need you to be an apprentice."

It also requires selling a lot of labor in exchange for the little money that is just enough to live on, and it also requires a certain amount of craftsmanship, which has nothing to do with making a fortune.

Zhang Yingda looked at Chang Xi angrily, this woman's mouth was really bad.

"I didn't want to be an apprentice."

Chang Xi glanced at him sideways, "Even if you want to go, you can't find a way."

Don't think that learning skills is easy. In ancient times, the life of an apprentice was very hard. It was not that easy to get into the industry. Besides, Zhang Yingda's father was not in this industry.

She thought about it carefully and then remembered that Zhang Yingda's father was Fan Ya, and he was engaged in business and renting houses.

So before Zhang Yingda could protest, she added, "I take it back. Your father is Fang Ya, and your family's business has something to do with the house..."

"I don't rely on him." Zhang Yingda gritted his teeth with a cold face.

His father was incompetent and had a bad temper. He pawned his mother out for money and treated them harshly. He was like a pig or a dog.

Chang Xi could see that this half-year-old boy's hatred for his father was about to penetrate deep into his bones, but she did not advise others that everyone in the world is just their parents, because she also had a scumbag father in her previous life, and she knew what it was like to be the son or daughter of such a scumbag.

taste.

"As for transportation, you can't even get enough of carriages, horses, and ships. So to sum up, the first pot of gold you can get is food."

The knowledge of food is huge, and it is indispensable for people to live in this world every day. The business opportunities are even richer.

Zhang Yingda listened to Chang Xi's words very attentively. After analyzing it, it turns out that this is really the only thing he can do.

However, he spread his hands and said with an embarrassment, "I'm not good at cooking. In your words, restaurants don't accept kitchen apprentices like me. When I'm a waiter, they all think I'm young..."

The last voice was as thin as a gnat. He had protested to Chang Xi that he was a child, but now he was slapping himself in the face. He felt a little pain in his teeth.

Chang Xi did not take the opportunity to make fun of him for being stubborn, but saw that there was a busy section of road ahead, with people selling everything on the roadside, so she ordered the bearer to stop the sedan.

Aunt Luo had not interfered too much in the conversation between Chang Xi and the half-year-old boy. She was very accommodating. Now seeing Chang Xi asking to stop the sedan, she hurriedly stepped forward and bent down and said, "Ms. Chang, what are you doing?"

Chang Xi walked out of the sedan chair, looked directly at Mother Luo and said, "I feel a little bored after walking all the way in the sedan chair. I want to come down and take a breather."

She was not asking for Nanny Luo's opinion, but informing her of her decision.

After her careful observation, she found that the atmosphere of this dynasty was not very conservative, and there were many women walking on the street, including unmarried girls, so it was not out of place for someone like her to walk on the road.

Aunt Luo opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her, but when she saw Chang Xi's firm eyes, she immediately knew that if she said more, she would be offending Chang Xi, so she stretched out her hand with a smile on her face and said, "I'll help you."

Chang Xi waved her hand and rejected her proposal. She was not old enough, so why did she need support?

She walked forward without paying attention to the people in the Jie family behind her.

Xiaotao followed Chang Xi closely. She didn't even look at Nanny Luo. She raised her feet and followed Chang Xi. Then she glanced at Zhang Yingda who was following behind. She was still hostile to this person before, but seeing Chang Xi's attitude towards him

It was very unusual, so she put away her suspicions and began to look squarely at this half-grown boy who was only slightly younger than her.

Dong Li did not follow him immediately, but looked at Aunt Luo.

Aunt Luo winked at her, and she quickly caught up with the three-person team in front of her.

Aunt Luo could only walk at the back with the two bearers carrying the empty sedan.

Chang Xi saw that there was a shop selling candied haws in summer, which was quite novel, so she asked Xiao Tao to buy seven skewers, one for each person.

Aunt Luo took the candied haws that was still icy from Xiao Tao and was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Chang Xi would also bring her snacks when he bought them. As soon as her mouth was sweet, she no longer remembered the behavior of slandering Chang Xi.

As for the two bearers, they were eating candied haws happily. For the first time, they enjoyed the same treatment as their masters. This errand was quite easy and both of them were very satisfied. They were also thinking that next time Chang Xi would leave the house,

They still have to compete for jobs.

Zhang Yingda was not willing to eat this precious snack, but wanted to keep it for his sister to eat. However, this did not prevent him from observing the people who had benefited from Chang Xi.

His eyebrows relaxed, showing that this small favor can win over people's hearts, and he seemed to have learned something.

Chang Xi took a bite. It was sour and sweet. It was quite appetizing in the summer. It was hard for this person to think of using ice to sell this kind of snack in the summer. Out-of-season items are not cheap. As expected, she

When she turned around, she saw Xiaotao's little face wrinkled.

"Isn't it delicious?" she teased Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao had a bitter look on her face, "It's delicious, but it's too expensive. This string of things only cost five or six copper coins in winter, but now it actually costs twelve or three copper coins per string. Madam Chang, isn't this a rip-off?"

"

It was really too expensive, and even if it wasn't her money, she wouldn't be able to part with it. Madam Chang was very good at spending money.

A few days ago, before the twelfth-month medical checkup delivered by Aunt Zhong was still warm, Mrs. Chang gave Nao Shizi three taels to her godmother as a memorial ceremony. Now she has spent so much money on candied haws, and her heart is bleeding just thinking about it.

, after all, she only has a pitiful one or two months of money a month.

Chang Xi knew at a glance that Xiaotao was spending money and was heartbroken, so she smiled reassuringly, "As long as you enjoy the meal, it's worth it."

Money is meant to be spent. In this regard, she has never understood the meaning of saving. After all, some money cannot be saved, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team. Didn't you see that Grandma Luo and others have no objections?

"Ms. Chang, as long as you are happy." Xiao Tao said feebly. She no longer wanted to argue. She just had to eat now.

This Xiao Tao is becoming more and more interested in Chang Xi, so Chang Xi is becoming more tolerant towards her now.

However, when she turned her head and saw Zhang Yingda holding up the melted candied haws, which was about to be eaten, she frowned and said, "If you don't eat it, it will melt. The syrup melts faster in this weather."

Only then did Zhang Yingda notice that the syrup on the outside of the candied haws in his hand was about to melt. He quickly took a bite with heartache. The sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth. He couldn't help but close his eyes in enjoyment. It was so delicious.

However, before he could enjoy it for too long, he heard Chang Xi ask, "What do you think after eating this bunch of candied haws?"

Zhang Yingda opened his eyes instantly, temporarily putting aside his guilt about not being able to leave delicious food to his sister. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "He sells things that others don't have, so he can take the opportunity to raise the price and make a lot of money."

A stroke of..."

As he spoke, many inspirations flashed through his mind, and he was eager to catch them.

Chang Xi looked at the half-grown boy who stopped to think carefully in the middle of the sentence, smiled slightly, and did not rush him, but slowly walked around the market by himself.

After only a few steps, Zhang Yingda caught up with him while eating candied haws.

"Let me tell you, this is a way to make things more valuable." Chang Xi said slowly, "You have to find business opportunities in daily food, and they are business opportunities that you can operate at a low cost..."

Just as she was talking, she noticed that Zhang Yingda had not followed him. She stopped and followed his gaze, and saw a few listless vegetable sellers squatting over there.

She walked over and Zhang Yingda quickly followed.

She stopped in front of a stall with only a few cucumbers and eggplants left.

"Auntie, how do you sell this dish?"

When the woman selling vegetables saw someone coming to ask about the price of the vegetables, she immediately became energetic and said, "Madam, you see it's already getting late. I have to rush back to the village. I'll sell you all these vegetables. It only costs three."
