Even if you don't have enough vegetables at home, it's very cheap to ask people in the village to buy them. You can buy a big basket for a few pennies.
In addition, a raw egg costs one penny. Adding eggs is equivalent to adding two pence. The cost is here. Those who are willing to add it, and those who are unwilling can not add it at all.
You can even have people bring in the eggs themselves and they can help process them, which is totally fine.
In this case, it is equal to a pie, and the profit is divided in half.
For them who have just arrived here, as long as they can sell more pancakes at the end of the day, they will definitely be able to earn a few hundred cash a day.
After a month, that’s a lot of money.
If it were any more, I'm afraid it would make people jealous.
Their family was unfamiliar with the place, so they were afraid it would cause trouble.
It's better to earn some hard-earned money like this. When people think about the money earned from getting up early and working in the dark, they will naturally not be so jealous.
Once they build some relationship with the wife and brother of the county magistrate over there, their family can pull off the tiger's skin and erect a banner.
At that time, no matter how much I bring out, I won’t be afraid of those hooligans anymore!
In fact, the sausage-making machine in her purse is still there!
It's just that in that world, she separated from her cheap sons and was alone at home, doing whatever she wanted.
Now that I am with my father and my mother, I am very constrained.
Many things cannot be taken out and used immediately.
For example, if she is making this garlic soybean sauce by herself, she can just use the stuff in the bag first and then use it later.
That night, Shi's father and Shi's mother ate spring pancakes made by Shi Jiang. Shi's father ate three in a row and was still unsatisfied.
"I didn't expect that Jiang'er's food would be so delicious."
Shi's mother also ate two. After finishing the meal, she burped slightly and covered her mouth with a blush.
“Really delicious.”
When Shi Jiang saw that his parents had given them affirmative words, he said what he planned.
I heard Shi Jiang say that such pancakes only cost three cents each, and steamed buns cost two cents each!
My daughter's pancake is packed with so many vegetables and tastes delicious. Three pennies is definitely a much better deal than spending two pennies on a dry steamed bun.
Even Shi's mother, who was born into a wealthy family and was raised according to the standards of a lady, could eat two and fill herself up, which proves that this cake is definitely delicious.
"In this way, I will take the few books I am copying to the bookstore in exchange for some money. Then we will buy more flour and vegetables. We will make them first and take them to the county together. Then, put the dough on the stove
Once it is heated a little, you can wrap these vegetables and eat them, which is convenient and hassle-free.”
Hearing what Shi's father said, Shi Jiang nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, when you go to the county, take me with you. Sell these handkerchiefs together. You can get a little more money."
Shi's mother took out the handkerchief she had embroidered in the past few days and said to Shi's father.
"Thank you for your hard work, madam!"
When Shi's father saw the complicated and exquisite patterns embroidered on the pile of handkerchiefs, he didn't know that Shi's mother just wanted to share the burden for him!
How much trouble does such a complicated and exquisite pattern take on your eyes?
Not to mention when she was in the capital, even when Shi's mother was working as a girl, she never did this.
After all, although she came from a merchant family, she also had maids and servants at home. If she wasn't making intimate clothes for her husband, she wouldn't need to do other embroidery work herself.
After marrying into the Shi family and becoming an official wife, she became much less hands-on.
Nowadays, there are no maids and servants, so I have to rely on myself for everything.
But doing embroidery like this can cause serious damage to your eyes.
The last grudge that Shi's father had about setting up a stall to sell pancakes was gone.
He can't let his little self-esteem cause his wife to have her eyes blinded in order to supplement the family income, right?
They did what they said, and the next day Shi's father and Shi's mother went to find Uncle Cai and took his ox cart to the county.
First, Shi's father sent the books wrapped in a backpack to the bookstore, one book each of three hundred and thousand, with fifty, eighty and one hundred texts respectively.
At that time, my father received 230 coins. After deducting the 60 coins spent on writing and ink, it was equivalent to earning 170 coins in more than three days.
Shi's father sighed, it's hard to earn money!
After all, in order to write these books these days, I have no time to rest all day long, but it is not easy to earn such a small amount of copper coins like this.
After Shi's mother and Shi's father separated, they went to a clothing store and first asked how much a piece of handkerchief made of ordinary cloth cost.
I learned that a plain handkerchief made of cotton cloth costs two cents a piece. If it is embroidered with flowers, depending on how good the embroidery is, if it is good, it can be sold for seven or eight cents, but the average one is only five cents.
A veil made of silk costs fifteen or six cents per piece. If it is embroidered with flowers, twenty or thirty cents is the minimum.
Shi's mother took a closer look at the silk handkerchief. The fabric couldn't compare with the ones in her hands, and she began to worry about it.
The proprietress of the clothing store didn't mind Shi's mother's careful questioning and explained carefully with a smile.
When doing business, the most important thing is to value harmony.
Even if she doesn't buy it, the most she can do is spend more time talking!
If she buys it, she is her customer there, so being polite is what she should do.
When my mother arrived, her face felt slightly warm when she saw how enthusiastic the landlady was.
She bit her lower lip and lifted the cloth covering her basket, revealing the brocade handkerchief she embroidered inside.
"I wonder if the boss can accept the handkerchief? The fabric of this handkerchief is the most popular in the capital in the past two years. It feels extremely smooth. The pattern on this handkerchief is also the most popular in the capital."
Shi's mother blushed and said to the proprietress of the clothing store.
"What a beautiful handkerchief. Did this pattern come from the capital? Is this embroidery technique not Suzhou embroidery?"
The landlady knew that the silk brocade used to make the handkerchief should be expensive, but she was more concerned about the pattern embroidered on the handkerchief and the embroidery skills of Shi Mu.
There are also many women in this county who use fabrics to make embroidery for her, but most of them are quite ordinary.
Not to mention the so-called embroidery skills, which are basically stitching techniques that every family knows, and are not popular with wealthy people.
"I don't know what to call a lady? Do you have any idea of joining my shop and becoming an embroiderer?"
The landlady took out the handkerchiefs in the basket one by one and looked at them carefully, and she immediately became interested in recruiting them.
If such an embroidery lady embroidered patterns not only on handkerchiefs but also on clothes in her own shop, the price of these plain-colored clothes in her shop would be doubled.
"Sorry, I still need to take care of the family, so I can't concentrate on embroidery work. If it's suitable, I can take over some embroidery work in my spare time."
Shi's mother didn't refuse at all. After all, she didn't know if the family's food business would work.
Although both she and her husband thought it was delicious, their tastes were somewhat different from those here. If the food business failed, at least she could still do some embroidery work in this clothing store, so that the family would not be unable to make ends meet.
