Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Mr. Zhu disdainfully, then helped Shen Xiujuan to leave.
Before Zhu could attack, Shen Yunxi hid in the crowd and said, "What can a hundred copper coins do? This face is so injured that it needs the best medicine, otherwise it will leave scars!"
"That's right, last time I was injured on my arm when I was working, I spent several taels of money on the medicine prescribed by the doctor!" In fact, the injury was caused by a piece of wood and a fracture!
"My son fell down a few days ago and cut some skin on his hand. It cost him more than one or two silver!" In fact, the hand was scratched by debris on the ground. The wound was long and deep and had to be replaced every day. medicine.
Originally, everyone was just watching the show. Everyone disliked Mrs. Shen and Mr. Zhu's normal behavior, and no one took sides. However, Mrs. Shen's attitude of throwing away coins just now angered these villagers.
Shen Yunxi was very familiar with this scene. Last time the old lady smashed her jar, she dropped a hundred copper coins on the ground.
"Then tell me, how much does it cost?" Mrs. Shen said impatiently.
Everyone was a little stunned by this question. The injury on Xu Zihui's face was actually a skin injury. No one could tell whether it would leave a scar. We would have to invite a doctor to find out.
"It's still twenty taels of silver if you don't say anything!" Shen Yunxi said hiding behind.
"Twenty taels? Why don't you go and grab it?" Mrs. Shen jumped to her feet and cursed.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhu said, "That's right, twenty taels. You have to go to the county town to see this face. There won't be any scars left!"
"Bah! I think you are deliberately blackmailing!" Old Mrs. Shen closed her pocket tightly. Twenty taels is already a lot of money for the Shen family now!
"If you don't pay, then go to the county government office. But for the scar on your face, you need to see a doctor in time. If you delay, the chance of scarring will increase, and you will lose more money by then!" Shen Yunxi made nonsense. road.
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she thought it was okay and asked Old Mrs. Shen for money. Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to go to the county government office. If Shen Xiujuan was sued to the county government office, it would be difficult for Shen Xiujuan to get married in the future!
She reluctantly took out ten taels of silver, "I don't have twenty taels, there are only ten taels. Do you want it or not?"
Zhu's eyes shone brightly and she nodded repeatedly.
The farce ended with Mrs. Shen paying ten taels of silver. Shen Yunxi mingled with the crowd and returned to the homestead.
Yang Xiaomi and Aunt Huang had come back to help a long time ago, but this "rich Mr. Xia" was still chewing on the beef bones calmly, paying no attention to what was going on outside.
Shen Yunxi didn't say much and joined in the cooking!
Today’s lunch was pickled fish, pickled white meat, pickled pork ribs, and sweet and sour pork ribs. The staple food was pickled dumplings and pickled noodles respectively.
Fortunately, Aunt Huang and Yang Xiaomi were good at making pasta, otherwise Mu Chenglin would have been exhausted!
Xia Yifan tried every dish many times, and the more he ate, the more satisfied he became. When Mu Chenglin was cooking just now, Shen Yunxi was explaining beside him, and he had memorized all five ways to make sauerkraut!
After finishing the meal, Shen Yunxi also distributed the remaining dishes to Yang Xiaomi and Aunt Huang, and returned to the mountainside with Mu Chenglin and Xia Yifan.
Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin had dried the marinated beef one by one and hung them all over the yard.
Xia Yifan was no longer surprised. He followed Shen Yunxi to the backyard, where there were many jars piled up.
Shen Yunxi opened one of the sauerkraut jars and said, "There are already several jars of mature sauerkraut in here. From now on, there will be a jar of mature sauerkraut every day. If you need more, we can also increase the amount of pickled vegetables!"
Xia Yifan nodded, he wanted these jars of pickled vegetables. The bean sprouts and tofu made the business of several nearby Qingfeng Restaurants getting better and better, and he had already tasted the benefits.
It's just that bean sprouts and tofu are not easy to preserve, and it would be difficult for him to transport the finished product to his father to try. But pickled cabbage is different. As long as it is stored well, it can be stored for a long time.
Next came the price negotiation. Shen Yunxi's purchase price for a pound of vegetables was two cents per pound. Xia Yifan set the price, and the pickled cabbage was purchased for ten cents per pound.
Mu Chenglin on the side refused directly. Before this, Mu Chenglin rarely interfered in the affairs of Shen Yunxi and Xia Yifan, but this time he refused!
"Mr. Xia, sauerkraut is easy to preserve, and you have your own caravan. It will not be difficult for you to transport it to Qingfeng Tower across the country!"
"Sauerkraut is different from pickles. Its taste is more special. Together with the several recipes just provided, I think Mr. Xia knows very well what kind of benefits it will bring to Qingfeng Building!"
Shen Yunxi didn't expect this. She knew that Xia Yifan had more than one Qingfeng Tower, but just one pickled cabbage...
She glanced at Mu Chenglin, whose eyes rested on the large tanks, and Xia Yifan's eyes were also attracted.
"That's right! The sweet and sour pork ribs we had for lunch today are sour and sweet, and one of the ingredients is called vinegar. But it's not ready yet. When it's completely brewed, we will have more recipes here for Qingfeng building!"
In fact, the vinegar is already cured, but you can whet Xia Yifan's appetite first!
"In addition, the sauces in these large vats will taste better than vinegar! With them, even the stewed pork we often eat will become more delicious!"
Shen Yunxi first promoted the reputation of soy sauce and soybean paste and used them to attract Xia Yifan.
Xia Yifan glanced at Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi with a smile, "It's not impossible to raise the price, but the purchase price of these vegetables is already very low. Let me add five more copper coins."
Shen Yunxi continued, "Mr. Xia, I will give you vegetables, can you make sauerkraut?"
"You don't know how complicated the process here is and how many ingredients need to be added, otherwise the dish wouldn't be like this!"
"Besides, Qingfenglou sells tofu made from soybeans for more than 100 copper coins per plate!"
In the end, Xia Yifan priced the pickled cabbage at twenty cents per catty, which contained water, and Shen Yunxi was satisfied.
At the same time, Xia Yifan gave another hundred taels to buy the recipes for the five new dishes at noon.
After signing a contract with Xia Yifan and loading the pickled cabbage jar onto the carriage, Xia Yifan left.
Shen Yunxi saw that Mu Chenglin was a little dissatisfied, so she advised, "Sauerkraut is a vegetable no matter what. Besides, I still have many ideas. When we have money, we will open a shop in the town!"
Mu Chenglin shook his head, "There are many restaurants in the town, and with Qingfeng Tower here, it's hard to compete!"
"Think bigger! I can think of different delicacies, but how can I not think of a different business model? Making these pickles is just the beginning."
"When we get bigger in the future, we will buy all the surrounding land and build a big workshop. We will go to the town to open a store, and then go to the county to open a store!"
Mu Chenglin's eyes flashed a little after hearing what Shen Yunxi said. If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible?
He clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions. Maybe God sent Shen Yunxi to him by accident to help him!
While cooking in the afternoon, Shen Yunxi noticed that Mu Chenglin's mood was better. This guy was only sixteen years old, but he had a straight face all day long.
She has earned more than one hundred and twenty taels for him, and she has never seen him smile at her!
Forget it, forget it! As a sister, she doesn't care about her brother as much as she does!
On this day, Shen Pingping came out to cut pig grass again. These days, Ms. Liu was almost resigned to her fate after being beaten, but she, Shen Pingping, did not!
Shen Yunxi can live a good life under such circumstances, and so can she, Shen Pingping.
At this time, there was another rustling sound in the grass, and Shen Pingping was no longer as nervous as she was the first time. She quietly approached, opened the grass, and saw Qiao Ruijie and Liu Shihan.
She hid in the dark and watched the entire process, and an evil thought arose in her heart.
Days passed by and the Mu family's new house was almost completed. On this day, Shen Yunxi completely handed over the cooking task to Aunt Huang and Yang Xiaomi.
During this period of time, Aunt Huang learned a lot and learned a few simple dishes, which were all dishes that Shen Yunxi had not sold to Qingfenglou.
Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin are going to buy furniture. They spent 20 taels on the land before and almost spent 120 taels on building a house and a workshop. Although they make some money every day, they still want to buy some furniture. Good furniture is not enough!
A few days ago, the sauerkraut recipe sold for another hundred taels, so the furniture can be ordered in advance!
Autumn is approaching, and cabbages and green vegetables are becoming less and less. Shen Yunxi spread the word and asked everyone to grow mustard greens and harvest as much as they can in the winter, paying two cents a pound.
Everyone in the village who has fields has begun to plant mustard greens, and even the couple Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin find it pleasing to the eye!
Two people were sitting on a donkey cart. Everyone was talking and laughing about them, and everyone knew that they were going to buy furniture!
There was only one furniture store in town, and Mu Chenglin walked in with Shen Yunxi. Although there were not many styles, the main difference was the grade of wood.
The living room, four master bedrooms, two guest rooms, kitchen, need a lot of furniture, such as beds, screens, mirrors, wardrobes, desks, tables of immortals, various stools and chairs, etc. You need to buy several pieces of each type.
Shen Yunxi didn't want to use inferior wood, so after thinking about it, she could only buy the furniture she needed most for the one hundred taels, and the rest could be added later when she had more money!
Shen Yunxi is not worried about running out of money. When her vinegar, soy sauce, and soybean paste are ready, Xia Yifan will definitely come to her.
After customizing the furniture and paying a deposit, the two of them went to the bookstore to buy books and paper for Mu Chengjin, and then went to the ceramics store to customize a hundred jars and twenty vats.
Although Xia Yifan will return the jar later, there is also a turnover process in the middle. With the jar in hand, you can do whatever you want directly!
The last two people bought a lot of flour and rice, and a lot of pork!
The grain and pork eaten during this period were either brought by Uncle Zhao or the village chief. Today the two of them came to the town and simply purchased them themselves!
After buying these, the two of them returned home with a full load. The donkey cart was filled with flour, rice and pork, and no one in the village would object to them being crowded!
Within a few days, the furniture arrived in the village, and many people came out to watch. The materials of these furniture were very valuable at first sight, and many people were enthused.
"I heard that the Mu family built a lot of rooms, why do they only have so little furniture?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Isn't it because we don't have enough money?" someone whispered.
"I think it looks like it! If you don't have enough money, just cover it less. You see, you're trying to make yourself look fat!"
Shen Yunxi won't care about these harsh words, she is very busy!
Soon, the house will be built and the beams will be put up! Mu Chenglin said that he would treat the whole village to a meal, which was what he and his mother had agreed upon.
Most of the villagers are still very honest and treat the Mu family well. They will continue to grow and develop in the village slowly and need the support of the villagers.
The day before the meal was served, Mu Chenglin went to the mountains again. If he could find something fresh, and with his current skills, the meal would definitely be praised by the villagers.
Shen Yunxi, Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin were cleaning the new house. When they finished cleaning and returned to the mountainside, Mu Chenglin hadn't come back yet!
Mother Mu was very worried about her son's safety. There were many dangers in the mountains, and he accidentally fell into the belly of a tiger.
Shen Yunxi is also very worried. If Mu Chenglin is gone, she will have no support here. How will a twelve-year-old girl live with her pampered mother-in-law and ten-year-old brother-in-law?
Mu Chenglin found a big cow in the trap. It had been hungry for some days. He guessed that it was the mother of the little buffalo from last time who came to look for her child, but she also fell into the trap.
Although this big cow is a little thin due to hunger, it is still very big. This is a deep mountain where the noise is loud and it is easy to attract powerful beasts.
He couldn't bleed or let the cow struggle, so he made a raft, tied the mouth and four legs of the dying buffalo, and put it on the raft. While vigilant about the surroundings, he pulled the buffalo out of the mountains.
So he got home a little late!
From a distance, I saw my mother standing in front of the courtyard gate, pacing back and forth because of worry, and his cheap little wife who kept looking out.
Mu Chenglin smiled mockingly, and his face returned to its original expression.
When Mu Chenglin came closer, Mother Mu finally saw clearly Mu Chenglin and the big buffalo behind him. She said tremblingly, "Alin, how dangerous this is!"
Mu Chenglin trapped the big buffalo in a trap and told his mother that it was so hungry that it had no strength. Mu's mother was still frightened, "If you drag such a big thing, it won't be able to move fast if you encounter a tiger. Don't do this next time. This It’s okay if you don’t want to eat beef!”
Mu Chenglin said gently, "I understand, mother!"
Taking advantage of the darkness, Mu Chenglin dismembered the cow. Shen Yunxi knew that there would be no chance to sleep tonight.
Just like last time, Mu Chenglin handled the big bones, while she braised the beef, and finally made the beef sauce.
This time, Mu Chenglin not only went to the village chief's house to borrow a big pot, but also went to Yang Xiaomi's house to borrow a big pot. At the same time, he asked them to spread the word that early tomorrow morning, the Mu family would treat the whole village to beef noodles.
When Mu Chenglin cooked all the beef bones, Shen Yunxi's braised beef had already started to be soaked. Looking at Shen Yunxi's sneaky look, Mu Chenglin still pretended not to see it.
The braised beef occupied two large pots in the kitchen. Mu Chenglin found a wooden basin and poured out the braised beef and soup.
It was already getting late, so Mu Mu and Mu Chengjin were driven over to sleep.
The next step is to make beef sauce together. There is a lot of beef this time, and all the dried mushrooms at home have been soaked. I estimate that I can make several jars.
