"Jiang'er, can't we make this floss? Why are we buying so much fish?"
Shi's mother looked at the dozens of fish Shi Jiang bought, each weighing more than seven or eight pounds, and suddenly became worried.
Although this kind of fish is big, the meat is rough and can easily get stuck in the teeth when eaten, so almost no one likes to eat it.
Therefore, when Shi Jiang went to ask about the price, the fish that usually sold for six cents per catty only cost four cents per catty.
But even if it was two cents cheaper, these more than one hundred kilograms of fish still cost more than five hundred cents!
"Mom, don't worry, I will never waste your money."
Naturally, this big fish doesn't taste good whether braised or steamed, but when made into fish balls, this big fish is first-rate.
In particular, fish bones are easy to pick out. A large piece of fish belly meat can be used to make a lot of fish balls.
Add the onion and ginger and chop into fine pieces, add the starch and mix evenly, then bring the water in the pot to a boil over low heat, squeeze out the fish balls from the tiger's mouth, scoop them one by one into the water in the pot with a spoon, and wait until they are all squeezed out.
, and then bring to a boil.
The white and fat fish balls are ready one by one.
"This, is this made of fish?"
Shi Mu stared blankly at the large basin full of fish balls and said in disbelief.
"Mom, this time we sell meatball soup in addition to steamed buns. Four for five cents, two for three cents."
One pound of whole fish can be made into almost ten fish balls. If you sell it for thirteen cents, minus the four cents of the capital, you can get a profit of nine cents per catty. After deducting the other seventy-seven or eighty-eight cents, one catty will be obtained.
Fish can earn at least five cents in net profit.
About ten fish a day can earn 500 Wen, plus the profit from the steamed buns, it adds up to an income of more than 1 Liang a day, which is definitely no problem.
After one month, that's thirty taels, and you can earn back the money you spent to buy a house in two months.
When Shi's mother thought about how much she could earn for a house in two months, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Shi Jiang smiled and said nothing more.
In the eyes of my parents, this money was already a lot of money.
However, compared to the Zhao family living in the county town, there is no comparison.
Therefore, she still needs to make more money.
When the store was renovated, Shi's mother would cook inside, while Shi's father would receive guests outside.
Shi Jiang also bought a maid back to help collect the dishes and wash the dishes.
When they learned that Shi Jiang was buying someone, both his father and mother were a little numb.
They feel that there is nothing in this world that their eldest daughter dare not do.
Towards the servant woman, the Shi family couple were cautious at first, but later became more comfortable with her.
If you can earn about one tael by selling the steamed buns and balls, then selling them in the store, plus other meals, would make more than a dozen taels of silver every day. It is normal.
After all, the workers at the dock only made money. Their money was all hard-earned money, and they wished they could break one penny into two pennies and spend it.
And here, many families in the town are unwilling to open a fire, or if they want to entertain guests and buy one or two dishes to add to their meal, they will definitely go to a cheap and delicious restaurant to buy them.
Although Shi's restaurant is newly opened, it can't stand out that it's plentiful, affordable and delicious.
The Shi family didn't know that many things had happened in the village after they had been away from the village for so many days.
The biggest thing was that the young daughter of the Shi family who was taken to the Zhao family was remarried to the village.
The person she married was none other than Zhou Qingli, who was once her brother-in-law.
The gossip wanted to go to the Shi family to ask about the whole story, but several times they went there, General Tie was always guarding the Shi family.
Even when Zhou Qingli and Shi Lan originally wanted to pretend to be in the Shi family, hoping that the Shi family could forgive them, so that they could hold their heads high and be good people in the village, they also saw no one.
Shi Lan secretly resented her, thinking that her sister Shi Jiang must have said something to her father and mother, so they didn't want to see her.
When she thought about how she had been pampered and pampered since she was a child, now that her parents knew that she was not the biological child of the Shi family, she was indeed not as good as her biological sister.
Thinking of Zhao Qingqing, the real youngest daughter of the Shi family in the county town, Shi Lan couldn't help biting her lower lip.
If she hadn't had such a big handle on him, he wouldn't have had to marry back to the village.
No matter what, as a biological daughter of the Zhao family, would the dowry still be missing from her?
But now, when she thought that she had only received such a small dowry, she felt unwilling to do so.
Originally she wanted to argue with Zhao Qingqing, but when she heard her parents' plan, she backed down in fear.
She didn't want to die, and by marrying Zhou Qingli, at least she wouldn't have to die.
In the Cuiyuan of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingqing was carefully embroidering flowers with an embroidery booth.
A servant in blue clothes came over quickly and blessed the licorice guarding the door.
"Sister Licorice, sir, please ask the second young lady to come over."
Licorice nodded, turned around and wanted to go in to send a message, but saw Zhao Qingqing opening the curtain and walking out with a look of joy on her face.
"Let's go!"
However, when Zhao Qingqing hurriedly arrived at Mr. Zhao's study, the guest had already left.
"Dad, why did Mr. Fu leave so fast? You didn't even keep him here to eat?"
Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but stamp her feet and said coquettishly to Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao glanced at her and said with a wry smile: "Master Fu didn't come at all. It was the housekeeper of the Fu family who came. The housekeeper Fu came this time because of Mrs. Fu's wishes. If we are willing, the Fu family will
Send a sedan to carry you in. Qingqing, you
Although you are not my biological child, I have raised you for so many years, and you are already better than my biological child. Even if you have a conflict with Lan'er, my father will always be on your side. If you enter the Fu family, you have to think clearly.
If the Fu family lives well, then the Zhao family must live well."
Hearing that the Fu family was only willing to send a sedan to carry her through the door, Zhao Qingqing bit her lower lip immediately, feeling extremely hateful in her heart.
It's no wonder why Mother Zhao didn't tell her that she had found her biological daughter sooner rather than later, when she was about to be adopted as a concubine by the Fu family?
After the Fu family learned that she was just a farmer's daughter, they even considered breaking off the marriage.
Thanks to all the tricks I used to please Mr. Fu, I got this opportunity to join Mr. Fu's family.
Even if there was only a sedan to carry her in, she had to grit her teeth and nod in agreement.
But Zhao Qingqing also knew that what Master Zhao said was not a lie.
The Fu family would be willing to take her as their concubine mainly because the Zhao family would not give up on her.
After all, according to the news received by the Fu family, Mr. Zhao's relationship with the direct descendants of the Zhao family in the capital is pretty good.
If you want to catch up with the Zhao family in the capital, you must have an excuse to break through, and in-laws are the best way to build relationships.
Hearing his father's beating, Zhao Qingqing responded with a smile.
In any case, before she married into the Fu family, she couldn't act rashly.
