"It's like this. Sister Fen and I weighed 800 catties of crispy peas, 300 catties of salted peanuts and 400 catties of spiced broad beans and sent them to Washe. Then, the salted peanuts are still at the same price, but Fen My sister abruptly said that the five-spice broad beans cost 40 cents a catty. So, yesterday we went to the cottage to earn 490 taels of silver!" Lin Fang had little stars in her eyes In the blink of an eye, Lin Fufu's eyes were dazzled.
Lin Fufu didn't expect Lin Fen to be able to sell five-spice broad beans to forty cents a catty, so he was also happy, "Sister Fen is really capable!"
"What about me, what about me?" Lin Fang looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes, begging for praise.
Lin Fufu saw it funny, but he also really felt that these two little girls are capable, so he said with a smile, "My sister Fang is also capable!"
Satisfied, Lin Fang joyfully told Lin Fufu that the many managers of Nawashe begged them to make more snacks, as much as they wanted.
Lin Fufu heard it strange, he just gave away a few hundred catties of crispy peas, and they were sold out so quickly
Listening to Manager Xu's tone, it's a lot to ask for!
Not everyone can tell how much you want, and it's impossible to say if you don't have the ability to eat it.
Therefore, Lin Fufu had an extra thought, and asked Lin Fang, "Then the crispy peas that Manager Xu gave you are all sold out?"
Lin Fang said excitedly: "It's sold out. I heard from Mr. Xu that it was sold out not long after we left!"
Lin Fufu nodded thoughtfully.
After going to Washe twice, she made a rough estimate. As a big town with a permanent population of 5,000 to 6,000 but a foreign population of 40,000 to 50,000, the daily passenger flow of Washe can be imagined.
The main reason is that these migrants are here to do business. Most of the businessmen are rich and have leisure time in winter. It is really possible that Washe can sell hundreds of catties of crispy peas a day.
"Actually, Gospel, Sister Fen and I stayed in Washedo for a while yesterday, and those rich guests took the initiative to find Xiao Er to ask the little one to weigh a few more catties of crispy peas and bring them home for the family to eat." Lin Fang She suddenly said, thinking about it, she looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes, "Fufu, don't you still have a shop? Let's make some delicious snacks and sell them in your shop, and we will definitely make money !"
Lin Fufu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded calmly: "That's a good idea! I just feel that the shop is wasted, and I'm reluctant to rent it out to others."
"Well, Sister Fen and I will take some time to tidy up, and then go to the old carpenter's shop and ask him to build a few rows of cabinets and wooden boxes for small snacks." Seeing that Lin Fufu agreed, Lin Fang said very happily .
Lin Fufu nodded and asked her: "Then I will leave this matter to you and Sister Fen, can you do it well?"
"Don't worry, I have learned a lot after being with Mr. Liu these days. Besides, my sister has taken time to go to Liuji Restaurant to learn from the shopkeeper in the restaurant." Lin Fang felt that although the days are tiring now A little bit, but substantial!
Both she and Lin Fang felt very good, and felt that this is what a person should live with, with energy and hope.
"Gospel, it's time to eat noodles." Lin Fang came with a large bowl full of noodles, and greeted Lin Fufu, "I'm afraid you will be hungry, so I made you a simple simmered noodles with a lot of scorpions .”
Lin Fufu likes the dumplings made by Lin Fen very much. When he saw that what she made for her was dumplings noodles, his brows and eyes frowned.
The scorpion was passed down to the Great Wei from the people of Beirong. The people of Beirong are cold and like to make spicy mutton scorpion in winter. After eating, the body is warm, but it is easy to get angry, but the physique of Beirong people has long been used to it, so it is not easy to get angry after eating.
But the physique of the Wei people is not good, and they are not used to the mutton saozi with the smell of sheep, so they use pork saozi instead.
Lin Fen is very good at making glutinous rice dumplings, and the glutinous rice dumplings she makes are very delicious, and most people can't make her taste.
Even Lin Fang and Feng Shi can do it, but they just can't make that taste.
Lin Fen uses moderately fat and lean pork belly to make pork sausages, because Lin Fufu does not like to eat fat, so in order to take care of Lin Fufu’s taste, she uses four-fifths of lean meat and one-fifth of fat to make pork sausages .
Lin Fufu had seen Lin Fen make scorpion dumplings with his own eyes, and he also learned from it.
The steps are, first wash five or six catties of meat and cut them for later use, prepare a dozen dried red peppers, a large section of cinnamon, five or six bay leaves, a small bowl of chili powder, five star anise, and a small bowl of peppercorns, Salt, mature vinegar, a small piece of ginger, a small handful of chives, and a small dish of old soy sauce.
After preparing these, heat the pan first, then put a large bowl of lard, and add a large spoonful of sesame oil to enhance the fragrance. When the oil is cooked to medium maturity, first put the fat meat and simmer for a while, then directly pour in the lean meat and stir-fry until it is half-ripe, then add the prepared aniseed ingredients, mix well and stir-fry.
Then add old soy sauce for coloring, and simmer for a quarter of an hour on low heat. When the meat color is finished, and it is almost cooked, add old mature vinegar to taste. Then simmer for a quarter of an hour, and pour in the chili powder.
Do not stir after adding the chili powder, let the chili powder and the meat blend naturally, wait for the saozi oil and meat to be red and bright, then add salt to taste, and put it in the pot for half an hour.
Then take it out of the pot, put the prepared saozi in a large urn with a lid, and take it as you like.
Because the temperature is low in winter, it can be preserved for a long time, so this scorpion can only be eaten in winter for a few more days.
If Xia Tian wants to eat, he can only eat and cook, which is very troublesome.
"My sister Fen's glutinous rice noodles are even more delicious than that made by Master Tie of Liu Ji Restaurant!" Lin Fufu said enjoying the delicious glutinous rice noodles while eating.
Lin Fang echoed and said: "I also feel that some time ago, I was so busy with brother Liu Qin that I didn't eat for the rest of the day, so he took me to Liu Ji Restaurant to let Master Tie make noodles, but without me My sister made delicious food”
Everyone likes to hear other people's compliments, not to mention that Lin Fufu and Lin Fang's compliments are sincere, Lin Fang pursed her lips and smiled, and said without pretense: "Then I will make more glutinous rice noodles for you from now on!"
"Hey, sister, it won't work if you eat too much." Lin Fang said.
Lin Fufu laughed, "When we open the restaurant, Sister Fen can prepare some more for the guests to eat."
"That's a good idea!" Lin Fang smiled and nodded.
"Well, I will definitely do more!" Lin Fen also felt good, this is an extremely simple matter for her, if she can do something for Gospel, as long as she can, she is very happy.
After Lin Fufu finished eating the glutinous rice noodles, Lin Fen helped her put away the bowl, and then the three sisters talked about business again.
Lin Fufu told Lin Fen about Lin Fang's proposal to sell snacks in her shop just now, and Lin Fen also thought it was good.
She also specifically added: "I saw those rich guests who took their children to the theater at the Washe, and they cried and rolled after they didn't buy the salted peanuts and spiced broad beans we sent. It was so pitiful." It's ridiculous. If we also sell it in the store, at least it will be very popular during this period of time!"
After hearing Lin Fen's supplement, Lin Fufu felt that the snack business could be done.
The main reason is that she is lucky. Whether it is the Great Wei or the Beirong Kingdom, there are very few snacks. It may be that those common people can hardly even eat enough. Apart from eating, they work non-stop. How can they think about snacks
Even those high-ranking families can make pastries that are expensive and rare, and they cannot be circulated to the market so that ordinary people can often see them.
Even if you can see it, you can't afford it, right
But the small snacks she makes can be sold by tael, and one tael is sold for three pennies. Parents who love their children usually pay a few pennies for this.
"Then it's settled." Lin Fufu made a decision.
"Oh, by the way, I will give you the four hundred and ninety taels of silver that Manager Xu gave you." Lin Fen went to get the silver after finishing speaking.
Lin Fufu frowned, and held her back, "Sister Fen, put the money on you. Since we want to open a shop to sell snacks, we need to collect a lot of broad beans, peanuts, etc. I'm busy now , These are all handed over to you and Sister Fang, and the silver for the raw materials will be paid out of these several hundred taels of silver, and if it is not enough, tell me."
"Oh, where did I get these hundreds of taels of silver? A few dozen taels is enough for me." Lin Fen said, after thinking for a while, he said: "The restaurants that sell the money for Biandan and Preserved Eggs are also coming one after another. After paying off the previous account, I calculated that there are more than one thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and I will bring it to you together."
Lin Fufu saw that the money for Biandan and Preserved Eggs had also settled, so he asked, "Then our latest batch of Biandan and Preserved Eggs are ripe?"
Lin Fen said confidently: "The last two batches are almost done. I only made the front and back feet five days later. The next few batches are coming soon."
"Sister Fen, why are you working so hard? If you get tired, you won't be able to pay." Lin Fufu said angrily.
Lin Fen laughed: "During the days when you and A Fen were in the town, I just stayed at home and made those. The last few batches were five or six thousand, and the next few batches were tens of thousands."
Lin Fufu nodded, grabbed Lin Fen's hand, and thanked him earnestly.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Fen patted Lin Fufu's hand, "I heard Sanlang say something like brothers working together to break gold. We sisters work together to break gold!"
The three sisters held hands tightly again.
At Lin Fen's insistence, Lin Fufu only accepted a banknote of 1,500 taels of silver, and put the rest on Lin Fen.
Lin Fufu took out three more one-hundred tael banknotes and put them in Lin Fang's hands, "Sister Fang, you keep these, and you can use this for whatever you want to buy in the future."
Lin Fang tightly held the bank note that Lin Fufu handed over, and nodded heavily.
"Ah, by the way, since we are the ones who want to sell small snacks in the shop, shouldn't Manager Xu deliver some less every day?" Lin Fen asked.
Lin Fufu nodded, "We can't do too much in one day. From tomorrow onwards, let's give him three hundred catties for each item. It also depends on what you can do, and don't do it if you don't have time."
"Well, it's settled like this. A Fang and I are ready for tomorrow, and we will send it to Manager Xu tomorrow morning." Lin Fen said.
Lin Fufu nodded, feeling that the sisters were too hardworking, and she was also under pressure.
"Also, we can't do this at home. It's better to set up a few more pots and stoves in the back hall of the shop, and then we ask trustworthy people to help us do these." Lin Fang added.
Lin Fufu thought about it and felt that what they said was very good, and they were trustworthy people. This is a bit troublesome.
But Lin Fufu felt that the eldest lady and the second aunt could come over.
Because the last time I went back, I heard from Nanny Qin that the milk of the second aunt was nothing, and there was not enough milk for her family, so Grandma Li helped find a new nanny.
Now that the second aunt of the big girl can see that the whole family can earn wages, she is also anxious about something.
Lin Fufu also thought the sisters-in-law of Feng's natal family were good, but Lin Fufu thought it was better to listen to Sister Lin Fen's opinion on who to invite.
"Then who do you think is the right person to ask for help?" Lin Fufu asked, and then mentioned all the people she was thinking of just now.
Both Lin Fen and Lin Fang fell into deep thought, and finally Lin Fen said: "Let's find three people first. I think the second aunt is clean and neat, and she has a tight mouth. She is one of them. My eldest aunt and my second uncle's family So can my cousin."
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fang.
Lin Fang nodded, "These people are very tight-lipped. Since they have earned this salary, they won't talk nonsense outside. We will also tell them in advance not to go out and talk nonsense. It must be okay."
Seeing that the sisters had the same opinion, Lin Fufu smiled and said, "Let's leave it to you to deal with it, and I won't care about it."
Lin Fen and Lin Fang looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Lin Fen said solemnly, "Don't worry about Gospel, we can do it well."
Lin Fufu reminded her again: "Sister Fen, don't forget that you have to go to Liuji Restaurant to learn from their big shopkeeper every dinner." After speaking, he looked at Lin Fang and said, "Sister Fang can follow if you have nothing to do. .”
"Hey, the big shopkeeper is busy enough to teach my sister, how can he have time to teach me?" Lin Fang wanted to laugh when thinking of the fat shopkeeper of Liuji Restaurant who was so busy that he wished he had three hands.
"Then you guys have learned it, so help him if you can. Besides, you don't need him to teach you." Lin Fufu meant to let them learn by themselves, and she also knew the shopkeeper of Liuji Restaurant get busy.
The two sisters also understood, laughing and playing for a while.
"Gospel, do the math carefully, how much money have we earned in the past few days?" Lin Fen asked Lin Fuspel after the two of them rested.
"Yes, let's see how much money we are short of buying the restaurant in Qinglian County." Lin Fang also said.
Lin Fufu also told the two sisters about his plan to buy Mrs. Jiang's eight big shops in Qinglian County.
The two sisters are now obsessed with earning money to buy the eight big shops.
Seeing the bright eyes of the two, Lin Fufu said with a smile: "I've already thought about this several times in my heart, and I plan to buy a big house in the county for us to live in after we go there, so I'm selling snacks and snacks today. The money for Biedan and Preserved Egg is almost enough to buy that big house."
This means that all the money that has been worked so hard these days has been used to work on the house in Qinglian County, and now there is not much left on him.
Lin Fufu thought that the two sisters would be disappointed when they heard the news, but they just nodded.
Lin Fen smiled and said, "Gospel, it's a good thing to buy the house first."
"Yeah, I heard Brother Dalang say that buying a half-house in the county is more difficult than going to heaven. You can buy the Gospel, which is a great thing!" Lin Fen was also very excited .
"That's because Lin Dalang is worthless. He doesn't have the ability to earn money so he said that. As long as he has money, why can't he buy a house? Even if he has money, he can buy a house in the capital." Lin Fufu laughed.
For Lin Dalang, he became more and more disgusted.
The next day, when Lin Fufu got up, sister Lin Fen had already gone out to do errands.
After washing up, she went to the kitchen. There was sweet potato porridge warming in the big pot, with a layer of hot and fragrant saozi, which Lin Fen specially reserved for her.
After she finished her breakfast, she just walked out of the yard and wanted to go to the Li Family Medical Center to buy some useful medicinal materials, when there was a hasty knock on the door.
After opening the door, what I saw was Mother Qiu who was next to Mrs. Song whom I met yesterday.
"Oh, miss Lin actually has such a big and magnificent house in this town?" As soon as Lin Fufu opened the door, Qiu's mother put her head in the yard and looked greedily.
To be honest, she really couldn't believe that this was Lin Fufu's house, but after asking all the way, Lin Fufu did indeed live in this house.
After Mrs. Song stayed in the inn for one night, she felt uncomfortable everywhere, so she asked Madam Qiu to deliver letters to Mr. Wang's house, because Mrs. Song's husband Song Li, the prime minister of Ningxian County, and the father-in-law of Wang's aunt used to be colleagues. The personal relationship is not bad, so it is normal for Mrs. Song to come to the Wang family when she is in Qingyang Town.
When the Wang family heard that the wife of the magistrate of Ning County lived in an inn in the town with her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson, they took it very seriously and sent the best carriage in the family to pick up Mrs. Song's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and child. Arrived in the other courtyard of Wang's mansion.
Mrs. Song told Mrs. Wang about Lin Fufu delivering her daughter-in-law. Seeing such a coincidence, Mrs. Wang hurriedly told Mrs. Song about Lin Fufu helping the ladies and ladies in the town to see a doctor.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Song also had the intention to make friends with Lin Fufu, so she sent Qiu's mother to send Lin Fufu a big red envelope early in the morning.
That's why Qiu's mother found Lin Fufu here.
"Miss Lin, our wife said that she has done a great favor to our family, and this red envelope is to thank her." Mother Qiu said.
Lin Fufu said you're welcome, and accepted the red seal.
Qiu's mother glanced at the red envelope that Lin Fufu received with some reluctance, thought about what her wife said, and then relayed what Mrs. Song said to Lin Fufu: "Our eldest grandson was born here today, I'm afraid he did something wrong. There is no more washing, Madam said that it will be done on the ninth day. On that day, Madam will send a carriage to pick up Miss Lin to watch the ceremony, Miss Lin must go."
Lin Fufu frowned. At this time, she was busy with business matters, especially the cosmeceutical side. How could she go to Ning County to attend the "three washing" ceremony of that young master Sun.
"Our wife asked me to tell Miss Lin that Miss Lin's excellent medical skills should not be lost in vain. When you arrive in Ning County, Madam will help Miss Lin introduce you to those respectable wives in Ning County." Seeing Lin Fufu's eyes With a look of hesitation, Mother Qiu cursed Lin Fufu in her heart for not knowing what was good or bad, and continued to relay what her master said to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu's heart moved, Mrs. Song was not like that kind of enthusiastic person, her shrewd appearance couldn't escape her eyes, but why did she want to please her? Want to introduce her to those respectable ladies in Ning County
