Shi Sui and Shi Zheng settled the accounts for their mother with their fingers. They went to three noodle stalls this morning and sold all the seventy kilograms of dried noodles and three kilograms of plate noodles. They got a total of one thousand and fifty-five.
Money.
They gave the remaining two kilograms of noodles to the second child, Shixu, so that he could use it to cushion his stomach when he got hungry while studying at night at the private school.
The fifty kilograms of flour they used to make the noodles cost 650 Wen, plus the oil for frying the noodles and the seasonings put in the noodles, the cost was about 700 Wen, so they sold it today
The net profit from the noodles was three hundred and fifty-five cents.
Moreover, these three noodle stalls in the county made reservations with them to deliver thirty kilograms of noodles to their stalls three days later. In other words, they would deliver goods to them for ten days a month.
In total, they have to make 900 kilograms of noodles a month, which is 12,600 copper coins, or twelve taels and six hundred copper coins.
After deducting the cost of 600 kilograms of flour, 7,800 fen, the net profit was 4,800 fen.
In other words, as long as their family makes noodles at home, they can earn almost five taels of silver a month without having to do it every day.
This is still the profit brought by three noodle stalls to their family. If they supply a few more noodle stalls, what's the point?
The more they calculated, the brighter Shi Sui and Shi Zheng's eyes became, and Hui Niang was also shocked by the calculation.
If they could earn so much money every month, it would only take a few months for their family to go to the county town, let alone rent a house, or buy a house.
"Mom, you haven't even counted the dishes yet!"
After Shi Jiang listened to Shi Sui and Shi Zheng finish their calculation, he smiled and gave another blow.
Shi Sui and Shi Zheng immediately thought of the surprise in their mouths when Shi Jiang just finished making the noodles and asked them to try them.
Yes, if the market sells well, let alone five taels per month, I believe fifty taels is possible.
"Mom, you and my little sister will make more this time. I will take it to the next door county and sell it. Especially that plate of noodles. Make more of it. I will follow my little sister's example and cook a plate and let them taste it.
.I believe that anyone who has tasted this plate of noodles will definitely buy a pound of it and go back."
Then he punched his palm with a look of despair.
Shi Jiang laughed a little, but he didn't expect that Shi Sui had thought of it before he even said how to lure those people into taking the bait.
"Okay, but you have to bring Zheng'er with you. If anything happens, you can ask him to run errands. Just remember to come back in three days and deliver the noodles you ordered from the county."
Huiniang said to her two sons, and then she took Shi Jiang to the village to ask someone to collect the wheat, and then sent it to the water mill to grind it into flour. This was better than going to the rice and grain store in the county to buy it directly.
It's several cents cheaper per kilogram.
However, after all, there are not many people who can keep the wheat and grind flour for their own consumption.
Huiniang bought the whole village, but it could only grind four hundred kilograms of flour.
"Mom, why not ask uncle and the others for help?"
Hui Niang was just a person, running around gathering wheat and grinding it into flour, which wasted too much time.
For Shi Jiang, the few pennies per kilogram were not worth it at all.
However, that doesn't mean it's not a deal.
Don't underestimate the price difference of a few cents per kilogram. If it goes down to a few hundred kilograms, the difference will be a few hundred pennies.
It is better to earn this money for the rice and grain shop in the county than for my uncle.
The most important thing is that after the wheat is ground into flour, the remaining wheat bran and ginger are still useful.
There are many brothers from the Shi family in the village. It makes no sense for Shi Xinhai to be a policeman and Hui Niang to make money, so she doesn't want to take advantage of her brothers.
Of course, Shi Jiang would not pick on those who were related by blood, but would choose brothers from the family who had always been helping Shi Xinhai.
Even if Shi Jiang is willing to go to the county town to do business or something, others will probably have concerns.
The best way is to let them open a pig farm in the village.
Oh, the pigs in this dynasty were not called pigs yet, they were called piggies, the kind that had not been castrated.
Normally, few families in the village can eat meat.
Shi Jiang was able to eat it because Hui Niang wanted to make some bone soup to replenish her health.
When Jiang drank the bone soup, he almost spit it out on the spot.
It has a strong smell of sao, where can I drink it?
Finally, after Shi Jiang pulled Shi Zheng and asked again and again, she found out that the pig today had never had any surgery, so it had always had the same smell.
In order to be able to eat tender and delicious pork, Shi Jiang must carry forward the surgery of pig castration.
Of course, the prerequisite for raising pigs is feed.
Let my uncle's family collect wheat and grind it into flour, and then sell the flour and wheat bran to their family.
In this way, my uncle and his family can make money, and they also have pig feed.
As for the problem of selling the pigs when they are raised to slaughter, Shi Jiang feels that it is not a problem at all.
After all, even if the pork cannot be sold, it can still be made into many meat products.
Shi Jiang is only worried that there are not many people in the village who are willing to raise pigs. After all, those people don't know Shi Jiang's plan.
If we raise too many pigs and cannot sell them, wouldn’t we lose money?
When Shi Jiang told Hui Niang, Hui Niang was also a little hesitant.
"What kind of surgery are you talking about? How did you know about it?"
Such a surgery is really scary coming from an eight-year-old girl.
When Shi Jiang heard Hui Niang's question, he secretly said something bad.
I was so carried away that I forgot my current age.
At her current age and her ancient background, it is really impossible for her to know about this kind of surgery.
It's just that the words have flown out of my mouth and I can't swallow them back.
Therefore, Shi Jiang rolled his eyes and immediately raised his hand to cover his forehead, looking uncomfortable.
"Mom, I...I don't know where I saw it. I just had this impression in my mind, so I said it. Mom, my head hurts."
After Shi Jiang finished explaining, he closed his eyes and looked like he was about to faint, which startled Hui Niang, who was originally feeling strange.
He quickly stepped forward, supported Shi Jiang, and then called Cao Zheng over to check Shi Jiang's body.
"The thing you just said she said may have been something she had seen before. Although she suffered from soul-leaving syndrome, she could still remember some things unintentionally, just like she could eat and dress herself.
Therefore, it is normal for some people with ecstasy to suddenly think of past events. So, you don’t have to worry too much. However, what you said about her castrating the pig makes me very sad.
It’s curiosity.”
After Cao Zheng carefully inspected it, he came out and spoke to Huiniang.
When Cao Zheng said that Jiang might remember the past, the expression on Huiniang's face froze and she completely forgot what Cao Zheng said at the end.
All she could think about was that after getting along with Shi Jiang during this time, she, her husband and son had already treated Shi Jiang as a real family member.
