A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

"Mom, the shopkeeper gave me three taels of silver, why don't we sell it?" Chen Dafu felt it was a pity. One tael seemed like a lot, let alone three taels. He didn't even have this huge amount of money. Dare to think.

Chen Dafu felt that his mother was confused.

"Dafu, did you just see that there were patients in the drug store?" Chen Changsheng asked.

"No, that little guy was taking a nap on the counter. As soon as we entered, he came up to us and thought we were patients."

"I guess the reason why there are no patients is because this pharmacy is dishonest. Snake gallbladder is a valuable raw material used in medicine. It can improve eyesight, detoxify, reduce fever and resolve phlegm. The pharmacy sells Chuanbei powder, dried tangerine peel powder, Zhuifeng pills, and Chuanbei loquat ointment. Snake gall is needed, and many pharmacies are rushing to get it.

But that "conscience drug store" bullied us as country people and wanted to blackmail us. "

Chen Dafu listened with half-understanding.

"Dafu, doing business is actually very simple. As long as the merchants are sincere and treat every customer sincerely, they can make the business bigger and stronger.

Mom doesn’t ask for a high price. As long as the other party gives a real price, Mom will sell it. "

The mother and son found another pharmacy, and this time she decided to let her eldest son go and try it.

Chen Dafu followed his mother's example and went to chat, but the waiter still invited the shopkeeper to come out.

The shopkeeper looked at the big fat snake he had caught, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "Little brother, I'll take this snake from you. The price is ten taels a piece. What do you think?"

Chen Dafu smacked his tongue. He thought three taels was a huge sum of money before, but he didn't expect to sell it for ten taels.

Are snakes so expensive?

Fortunately, my mother insisted not to sell it just now, otherwise she would have lost seven taels of silver.

Chen Dafu hurriedly reported the situation to Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng felt that the drug store owner was honest, and finally settled the deal for ten taels of silver.

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to accept the big fat snake and made an appointment with Chen Changsheng to send it over if there were any other medicinal materials.

Chen Changsheng received ten taels of silver.

**

Noon.

The bowl of wild vegetable porridge he drank before going out in the morning had long been digested. Chen Changsheng's stomach was empty and he had to eat something to fill his stomach.

She led Chen Dafu towards the noodle stall, "Boss, how do you sell noodles?"

"A bowl of plain noodles costs five cents, or a bowl with meat costs eight cents. Which one do you think?" The boss quickly led the mother and son to sit down.

"Let's have two bowls of vegetarian food. Be quick." Chen Changsheng didn't just start spending money lavishly just because he earned ten taels of silver.

Twelve taels is not a small amount. Farmers digging in the fields can only earn three taels a year.

She has stood up to others for three years every day.

But she is different from others. She still has four children to raise, build a house, prepare betrothal money for her son, and buy a dowry for Si Xi. There are many things that need money.

And it’s not every day that you are so lucky to catch a snake.

The boss made the noodles conscientiously and did not hesitate because the customers ordered plain noodles.

"Boss, may I ask where is the more practical place to buy food and supplies in this city?" Chen Changsheng wants to buy supplies. If he is not familiar with the place, it is better to find someone to find out in advance.

The noodle stall owner enthusiastically introduced the situation in Baishui County while kneading the dough.

There are seven or eight grain stores in Baishui County, and they are managed by the two major merchants in the city, the Liang family and the Wu family. The two families negotiate the prices before selling them uniformly, so the prices of the grain stores are the same.

Chen Changsheng probably had an idea in his mind. The Liang family and the Wu family were similar to modern business giants. They had a monopoly in Baishui County. As long as the price was not too outrageous and it was within the scope stipulated by the government, it was allowed.

After finishing the noodles, Chen Changsheng paid ten coins, thanked the boss and left.

Inside the grain store.

The price of brown rice is seven cents per catty, white rice is twelve cents per catty, brown flour is ten cents per catty, and white flour is fifteen cents per catty.

Chen Changsheng weighed ten kilograms each of brown rice and brown flour, and weighed five kilograms each of white rice and white flour. The total cost was 305 Wen.

Although the system just gave her a gift package of ingredients yesterday, which was Northeastern rice, it couldn't be taken out suddenly. If she bought these grains today, she could find an opportunity to eat them together.

Add some wild vegetables and it will be enough to last for a long time.

After leaving the grain shop, the mother and son turned into the pork shop. The owner of the butcher shop was taking a nap.

Pork costs twenty cents per catty, and ribs cost thirty cents per catty.

Chen Changsheng bought a pound of pork and wanted to buy a rib to make soup for her children, but Chen Dafu stopped her.

This year, any farmer who can buy a pound of pork is considered a luxury.

Not to mention the ribs, I dare not even think about it.

The owner of the pork shop saw the two farmers dressing up, and he guessed that they didn't have enough money, so he took the initiative to mention that there were still some pigs that had not been sold.

The pigs were originally sold for ten cents per catty, but now it is almost time to sell them. If they cannot be sold, they are damaged. They can be sold to Chen Changsheng and his son at a low price of seven cents per catty.

Pig meat is the unclean meat after killing the pig, including pig belly, pig heart, pig lungs, pig tongue, pig intestine, pig tail and pig ears.

Because these parts often have a peculiar smell, and people are not used to eating them, and they think they are not suitable for the table, so naturally they will not buy them. Only poor families who cannot afford meat will buy them back to taste the meat.

Chen Dafuzi had eaten pig meat once in his old house, and it smelled fishy.

But pig urine is a good thing for Chen Changsheng, especially pig intestines. In her eyes, it is a delicacy.

Dry-pot sausages, spicy sausages, stir-fried sausages, and spicy sausages all have a compelling aroma, are fat but not greasy, and become more fragrant the more you chew them.

Chen Changsheng asked for four kilograms of pigs to be put into the water, which cost him twenty-eight cents.

After leaving the pork shop, I went to the stall and bought four small packets of winter melon candies, which I took back to satisfy the cravings of the children at home.

Finally, the mother and son went to the grocery store. She had planned to buy a bathtub last night because she couldn't stand not taking a bath anymore.

A bathtub painted with tung oil costs 800 cents.

Wow, it's not cheap.

It’s better to take the time to buy a bathtub first. I have just filled my stomach and only have ten taels of silver on hand, so I have to spend some time.

After shopping, it was getting late, so Chen Changsheng and his eldest son went to the city gate, where Chen Daniu's bullock cart was already waiting for him.

Three other people from the same village have also arrived, everyone is gathered, and the bullock cart is ready to return.

This time Chen Dafu insisted on walking back, and he only sold vegetables in the city today. Compared with going to the fields to pull weeds, cut firewood, and carry water, it couldn't be easier.

Besides, I had a big bowl of noodles at noon, so why did I have the nerve to ride back in an ox cart?

Chen Changsheng still paid a penny for Chen Dafu to sit on the cart, and forced his eldest son to get on the cart. Chen Dafu couldn't resist, so he could only sit on the ox cart obediently. He also wanted to take the basket of Changsheng and put it on the ox cart for her convenience. Travel light.

But the oxcart was already loaded with people and goods, and there was no room left for the backpack.

Fortunately, the basket was not heavy, so Chen Changsheng carried it on his own.

A man from the same village saw that the baskets carried by Chen Changsheng and his son were heavy and seemed to contain many good things, so he couldn't help but start grabbing them.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, you went to the city to buy a lot of things today, but did you make some money?"

Chen Dafu was just about to say that he had earned ten taels of silver and bought some rice, noodles and meat, when Chen Changsheng held his hand down.

Chen Changsheng said calmly, "Her aunt, there are not many people buying wild vegetables these days. I only bought half of the two baskets of vegetables I carried early in the morning. People in the city look down on them, and it would be strange to lose them." It’s a pity that I can only carry the rest back and eat it myself.”

It's not that she's insincere, it's just that she's wary of others.

Throughout the ages, wealth has never been revealed in vain.

If you let others know that you earn too much, you will be jealous and cause trouble for no reason.

The aunt was relieved when she heard that Chen Changsheng didn't make much money and didn't ask any more questions.

After a busy day, I almost forgot to check my calorie consumption.

Chen Changsheng slowed down and followed the bullock cart about three meters away, quietly activating the virtual electronic bracelet. The main screen showed that the current total energy consumption was 2,042 calories.

Two thousand and forty-two calories!

at last!
