It finally cleared up the next day, but unfortunately the road was muddy, so I couldn't go to the town.
Luo Jianjia got up early in the morning to make a cake, rolled all the noodles into a cake, and put it in the oven to bake slowly.
Afterwards, he took out more than 30 eggs from the family, and boiled 30 of them in a pot with cold water.
After cooking for about half an hour, fish out twenty-five.
The rest continued to cook for a while, and then fished out after they were cooked.
She put the twenty-five fished out earlier in cold water, took them out one by one, and smashed the shells.
Looking at her behavior, Zhao shi asked curiously, "Jianjia, what are you doing, are you going to peel the eggs and sell them?"
Luo Jianjia shook his head and explained it to Mrs. Zhao: "No, I have to add seasonings and continue cooking in a while."
"Oh." Zhao shi nodded.
She didn't ask any more questions, she beat the eggs like Luo Jianjia did.
After breaking all the egg shells, Luo Jianjia put the eggs into the pot again, and added spices such as peppercorns and star anise leaves in the pot.
These spices are always available at home. Luo Jianjia was often used in cooking before, and the ingredients for cooling the skin are also needed.
After putting these, add salt and other seasonings, and finally add some sugar, tea leaves, and water.
Cook for a quarter of an hour, turn off the heat and let it rest.
After doing this, the tea eggs are basically done, and the rest is just waiting quietly.
For breakfast, Luo Jianjia cooked a pot of white rice porridge, with pickled cucumbers as a side dish, and the pancakes just baked in the morning as the main dish.
The cake I made yesterday was sold, but I didn't eat much at home.
With yesterday's experience, today's cakes are better and more delicious, the outer layer is crispy, and some crumbs will fall off when you bite.
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chu liked it very much and praised it.
"It's delicious and fragrant to eat directly without the vegetables," Zhao said.
"The salt and five-spice powder are just right, and adding some vegetables is also delicious." Chu Laodao.
Luo Jianjia agrees with Zhao's idea. In fact, she also likes to leave things alone. The more they chew, the more fragrant they are.
When the hour came, the family of three went to the pier again.
Scones are still selling well today.
Eggs with green leaves are also very popular.
The price of tea eggs is set at two cents a piece.
This price is a bit expensive for those who work at the dock, and many people ask for nothing.
It's just that Luo Jianjia's seasonings for making tea eggs are too expensive. Spices are expensive, sugar is also expensive, and tea leaves are also expensive. The cost is more than one penny, and selling two penny won't make much money. So she can't lower the price either.
The audience of tea eggs is the merchants who come and go.
Luo Jianjia cut a tea egg into eight equal parts, and if the merchants who came to buy things were interested, she would let them taste it.
Fortunately, the tea eggs are delicious, and most of the merchants bought them after tasting them. There were several at a time, and it didn't take long for the tea eggs to be sold out.
Those hard-boiled eggs are also sold out.
Scones, tea eggs, and egg soup don't make a lot of money, but they add up to a lot.
After going home, I earned about 200 cents today, and it is about to reach the best time.
Seeing this number, Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief.
It has rained again in the past few days, and it is colder than before. Now the sales of Liangpi have been halved. If the scones and tea eggs don't make money, she'll have to think of other ways.
"Jianjia, your brain is so good, you can think of so many ways to make money in the blink of an eye. It's a blessing for our family to marry you, and a blessing for Brother Leng." Zhao complimented.
Although Boss Chu didn't say anything, he nodded silently.
The family is really grateful to my daughter-in-law.
A few days ago, I saw that I was about to lose money, but my daughter-in-law turned around and thought of other ways to make money.
Being able to marry such a good daughter-in-law is a blessing that their Chu family has cultivated for several generations.
Hearing their praise, Luo Jinjia pursed her lips.
The heroine in the book is a time traveler and a lady from an aristocratic family. She has helped Chu Weilen a lot in her career, and that is the blessing of their Chu family.
Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia said, "Mother is very kind. You and Dad have contributed a lot. Without you, we wouldn't be able to make so much money."
Zhao patted his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "What are we, we're just fighting."
After a few people talked for a while, Luo Jianjia said: "Mother, our eggs are gone, we have to go to another place to buy some back, or we won't be able to sell them tomorrow."
Because of the bad weather, the road is not easy to walk, and I can't go out today, so I can only go to the neighbor's house to buy.
Zhao Shi immediately said: "I said I just forgot something, that's it, I'll go to the village and ask. But how many do I need?"
Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "About fifty."
With that said, Mrs Zhao went out.
On the other hand, after struggling for a few days, Wang Qingjue once again found Chu Weilen cheekily. After seeing Chu Wei Leng, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Brother Chu, your jerky... ah, no, it's called pork jerky, is there any more?"
Although Wang Qingjue was born in a concubine, he grew up in Jinyi Yushi, and he has never eaten anything delicious.
But the taste of the pork jerky is really special, not to mention the taste is good, I feel refreshed after eating it, and my body feels a lot lighter.
As for the increase in strength, he didn't feel it.
He has been reminiscing about the taste of pork jerky for the past few days. If he can't eat or sleep well, he wants to taste it again.
There are indeed Chu Wei Leng, but only a few pieces.
But he didn't want to give.
Wang Qingjue saw Chu Weilen's thoughts and said, "My little brother has an unkind request, I wonder if Brother Chu can agree?"
Chu Wei said coldly, "You say it."
"Can you ask my sister-in-law to make some for me?" Wang Qingjue said, "I can give you money."
He has already checked, Chu Weilen's family background is not very good.
He has money, and he really doesn't want to feel wronged.
Since this thing was made by Chu Weilen's wife, I beg their family to make some more.
Chu Weilen's first reaction was to disagree.
But after thinking for a while, I felt that I should agree.
He remembered that Roche was particularly fond of money, and he was most interested in counting money every day.
Would she be very happy if she knew that the pork jerky she made could sell for money
"If Brother Chu thinks giving money is not good, I can also give my sister-in-law something else. For example, what jewelry does my sister-in-law like?" Wang Qingjue asked.
What women like most is nothing more than a few things, clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache.
A foreign man gave his wife jewelry
Chu Wei Leng always felt strange.
"Then let's give money." Chu Wei said coldly, "My wife likes money the most."
Hearing that Chu Wei Leng agreed, Wang Qingjue laughed immediately. Coincidentally, the last thing he lacked was money.
"That's great, I'll have someone bring money to Brother Chu's house today." Wang Qingjue said eagerly, "Oh, by the way, does Brother Chu have anything to bring to the family?"
He's only been here for a month and has nothing to piggyback on.
Seeing that Chu Wei Leng said no, Wang Qing Jue said, "It's better for Brother Chu to go and write a letter to the house, and I'll have someone take it with me later."
write a letter...
When he came, he told Roche that he had something to write to him, but he felt that, with her character, she might not necessarily write to him.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
"Brother Chu is very polite."
Afterwards, Wang Qingjue took out a piece of paper from somewhere, found out the pen and ink, and handed it to Chu Weilen.
Although Chu Weilen had learned to read from others when he was in the palace and neighboring countries, he was not very good at writing.
Especially the brush, he doesn't know how to use it at all.
After taking over the brush, Chu Wei Leng scribbled some words on the paper: "How is everything at home? How are your parents?"
After a pause, he added a few words: "How are you?"
I wanted to add a few more sentences, but the Luo family might have come to trouble, but after thinking about it, there were a few words in it that I didn't know how to write, so I didn't write any further.
Although Chu Weilen's letter was folded, the stains on it were too heavy, and Wang Qingjue could still see it.
Looking at the letter, Wang Qingjue asked enthusiastically, "Brother Chu, do you need me to ghostwrite?"
Chu Wei gave him a cold look and shook his head: "Thank you, Brother Wang, no need."
He had said almost everything he had to say, and there was nothing left to say.
Luo Jinjia still didn't know that Chu Weilen had received such a large order for her. If she knew, she would probably wake up with a smile from her dreams.
Early the next morning, Luo Jianjia went to boil tea eggs first.
Tea eggs are easy to cook, but if you want to enjoy the taste, it is better to let them sit for a while. The tea eggs were soaked for too short a time yesterday, and she always felt that the taste was a little off.
After making tea eggs, she started making scones.
Not long after, Aunt Wang also came to help. Although there is less Liangpi now, but others are not less, and there are more samples.
At two o'clock, Luo Jianjia and Aunt Wang left Chujia Village with cold skin, scones and tea eggs.
Although it stopped raining, the road was still a little muddy. The two carefully pushed the car and slowly walked towards the town.
Because the road was not easy to walk, it was already past time when the two of them arrived.
Today is a big market. There are many people in the market, and there is not a single vacancy. Fortunately, Luo Jianjia made an agreement with Gouzu before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to occupy a good position today.
Seeing Luo Jianjia coming over, Gouzu greeted them all the way: "Is my sister-in-law here?"
Luo Jianjia nodded: "Yes."
Thinking of a few days ago, Luo Jianjia asked, "How many days have you been here?"
The dog left honestly: "I didn't come when I was next to him, but it was a small episode the day before yesterday, so I came here."
Hearing this, Luo Jianjia was slightly startled.
They had agreed before that the dog would come over every day to hand over the coins for the whole day, except when it rained.
Since the dog left the day before yesterday, how much did he pay
Gou left seemed to see her concern and said, "sister-in-law, don't worry. I guessed that my sister-in-law won't come when it rains, so I said that I didn't bring that much money with me, so I paid half a day's money first, thinking if my sister-in-law really came. Now, just add two cents of money."
Luo Jianjia glanced at him admiringly, and secretly said, what a smart child.
The purchasing power of the people who come to buy food in the town is higher than that of the people who work on the wharf, and lower than that of the merchants.
If the single cake is crispy, crispy, and cheap, it sells better than the one with vegetables.
As for the tea eggs, I asked a few questions at first and tasted it, but after hearing the price, few people bought it.
This is not the same as the situation on the pier.
On the dock, after the merchants tasted the taste, they thought it was delicious and bought it.
Luo Jianjia looked around at the people who came to buy things, pondered for a while, and when the next person came to ask, he carefully explained the ingredients he used to cook the tea eggs, especially the precious ingredients.
When the man heard that there were precious spices such as star anise, he used precious sugar, and he also used the tea leaves that he only took out for the holidays, he immediately bought two, and he didn't say anything more expensive.
This is the characteristic of the people in the town. They live better than the merchants, and they are richer than the people in the village.
Having mastered this, Luo Jianjia took the trouble to tell everyone about the ingredients used in tea eggs.
She didn't say how much each ingredient needed, and she didn't say a few key ingredients.
In this way, even if the guests guess what is in it, they may not be able to make such a good taste.
Aunt Wang looked at the tea eggs that no one asked at first and then was robbed, and admired Luo Jianjia a little more.
"My niece, what a brain you have, you can really make money."
Luo Jianjia glanced at Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, there is nothing special, as long as you understand what the guests are thinking, it will be easy."
Do you even know what the guests are thinking? That's awesome!
Luo Jianjia's status in Aunt Wang's heart was higher.
After dinner, the Zhao family closed the door, and the family counted the money together again.
When they counted to three hundred, all three had relaxed expressions on their faces. In the end, they earned a total of three hundred and forty-two today.
Mr. Zhao said, "If this is not possible, I have to remove twenty cents. A merchant ate our tea eggs and liked it very much. When he left, he took ten of them and gave twenty cents as a reward."
This kind of reward is not something that happens every day, so it cannot be counted.
"Even if it doesn't count, there are still more than 300 yuan." Old Chu said, "If this continues, I can earn 10 taels of silver a month."
After all, he subconsciously looked at Luo Jianjia, wanting to hear her opinion.
Zhao Shi swallowed when he heard this number, and said, "Can there really be so many?"
After asking, he also looked at Luo Jianjia.
Luo Jianjia thought for a while and said, "The amount of Liangpi will be reduced in the future. However, the weather is getting colder, so I can fry more egg fried rice. Now there are a lot of boats on the pier, and there are more people working. There are also many people who come to eat. If we follow this trend, maybe we can really earn 12 taels this month.”
Hearing Luo Jinjia's confirmation, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were very excited.
From the time when they could earn one tael a month, the two of them felt very unreal, to the later two taels, five taels, seven taels... and now twelve taels, this unreal feeling was like a dream.
And they don't spend much money, they have all the money, and they don't feel too deep.
"Can we keep making money like this in the future?" Zhao shi asked.
After asking, he said again: "If it is possible all the time, in a few years, wouldn't we be able to have thousands of taels? Isn't that richer than the gentlemen in the county town?"
Luo Jinjia thought, Chu Weilen will become prosperous in a few years, and their Chu family's assets are more than a thousand taels
Not only the assets, but also the reputation and status will be very high, let alone the county seat, the people of the prefectural city will be far behind, and they will all have a place in the capital.
"Xianggong is already a ninth-rank official at such a young age. After a few years, he may be able to rise to the top, and his official position will become higher and higher. At that time, parents will just enjoy happiness." Luo Jianjia said.
Hearing her daughter-in-law compliment her son like this, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It would be great if Brother Leng could really be so powerful, that's a good thing for honoring the ancestors."
After finishing speaking, he added: "However, when he is his official, my father and I are still thinking about making more money."
Zhao was very happy that his son could be promoted.
However, Zhao was not as happy as he used to be about enjoying happiness with his son.
After enjoying the fruits of his labor, Mr. Zhao hopes to make some money by himself instead of relying on others.
It is unreliable to rely on the feelings of others, not even a biological son.
In the three years her son left, she deeply realized this.
Still depend on yourself.
Boss Chu nodded.
He and Zhao have the same idea. They have been suffering for most of their lives and useless for most of their lives. Now that they can make money on their own, the feeling is different from before.
"Jianjia, can we continue this business forever?" Zhao shi asked seriously.
Hearing this question, and looking at Zhao's expectant eyes, Luo Jianjia was stunned.
How should she tell Zhao that they are not in her future plans
