After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi was walking on the street, feeling a little upset. He also reflected on his mistakes. He shouldn't have stayed for dinner at the Xie family. The relationship was not good enough.

There are problems with the Xie family's way of educating their children, and she is too casual. She needs to correct this in the future.

After this incident, there is no hope for cooperation with the Xie family. We have to think of a new solution.

"Girl, would you like some herbal tea? It's free for you."

The roadside stall owner greeted her. He was the one selling ice bowls and knew her. He wanted to ask her about the follow-up. He wanted to eat all the melons.

Shen Nanzhi also changed his mood, sat down and said: "Thank you very much, your business is good, right?"

"It's not enough to make a living in winter, so I'll just do business in the summer."

Shen Nanzhi's eyes flashed, "Winter, I will give you a way to make money. I guarantee that you can make a lot of money, buy a house, buy land, and even buy your own shop in the future."

The stall owner said happily: "If you can really make me rich, you will be my second parent. By the way, has your ex-husband paid you back?"

"If he doesn't pay it back, he will lose all his fame. My ex-husband won't cry until he sees the coffin."

"That's right, he deserves it. He doesn't cherish such a beautiful and blessed girl like you. He will regret it sooner or later."

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

For the sake of her money-making business, she had to praise herself for being beautiful against her will, which made it difficult for him.

The stall owner said, "I'm serious. Girl, you are really pretty. If you don't believe me, ask everyone, are you pretty?"

Shen Nanzhi quickly stopped him: "Okay, I believe you, isn't that enough? Don't embarrass me, what's your name?"

"My last name is Liao. My grandfather named me Liao Baojia. I came here to escape famine. After my grandfather passed away, I was the only one left in the family."

"Hello, Brother Liao. My last name is Shen, Shen Nanzhi. You can just call me by my name."

"Well, Miss Nanzhi, we are destined to be together. From now on, you can drink tea for free at my stall."

Shen Nanzhi was amused and teased him, "What about the ice bowl?"

A bowl of cold tea costs one cent, which is not worth much. But a bowl of iced tea costs twenty cents. Liao Baojia was embarrassed, but he didn't want to lose face: "The bowl of iced tea is free too."

"That won't work. I can't eat you out of money. It's good to have this intention. Your ice bowl is good, but it lacks some characteristics."

"Oh, what's the special? What's your idea? I really want to treat you to an ice bowl."

Shen Nanzhi said, "You can add some fruit juice. White sugar is too monotonous. You can add orange juice, osmanthus honey, yogurt, and dried fruits. I guarantee that your business will be unique in the county."

Liao Baojia said disappointedly: "These things you mentioned sound very expensive. If I add them in, the cost will also go up. Can I make money?"

Shen Nanzhi: "You don't understand. People who can spend twenty cents on an ice bowl don't mind adding a few more cents. They are all wealthy people. What they want is good taste and cleanliness.

Well, tomorrow I'll have someone send you orange juice, osmanthus honey, yogurt and dried fruits. The price of each bowl will increase by five cents. You can see how it works.

If it can't be sold, I won't charge you a penny. I'll just consider it as our fate. You can also say that we are destined to be together."

"That's fine too."

Since he wouldn't suffer any loss, Liao Baojia thought he could give it a try.

Shen Nanzhi finished drinking the herbal tea and said, "Your herbal tea is not a secret recipe. It won't keep customers. If you want to do a good business, you have to have something that others don't have."

Liao Baojia could tell that this girl from Nanzhi really had something good in her stomach, so he licked her cheeks and added another bowl: "Girl, help me improve the herbal tea, and I will give you 10% of the money I make in the future."

"That's not necessary. If I want to make this money, can't I just open a stall myself? I'll help you improve it, but you have to do me a favor, too."

"You said, I will help you as long as I can."

Shen Nanzhi said: "It's nothing, just help me keep an eye on the things happening in this county and get the news. Also keep an eye out for any useful information and tell me.

There are also the movements of the imperial court. You have a lot of people coming and going in your stall, and you are well-informed. I like you."

Liao Baojia said: "This is nothing. Those aunts and sisters love to chat with me. I am also happy to chat with them. To be honest, there is really nothing in this county that I don't know."

"Oh, you're that awesome?"

"Of course, even if the county magistrate had a new beautiful concubine and she was beaten by his wife, I was the first to know about it."

Shen Nanzhi laughed: "How dare you gossip about the county magistrate?"

"Why not? The county magistrate can't hear you, so how can he still argue with us ordinary people?"

"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Please keep an eye out for me to see if there's a wine brewer with real skills."

"Miss Nanzhi, you want to make wine, but it's not easy. You can't say whether the wine you make can be sold. The court will collect taxes, and the taxes are very heavy. In addition, in years of famine, the court prohibits the sale of wine."

Because alcohol is made from grain, using it to make wine will lead to food shortages, so the imperial court has always strictly controlled alcohol.

This person was not recruited in vain. Shen Nanzhi was just not well-informed about some rules and information, so he wanted to recruit him when he saw him.

It immediately gave me a useful piece of information. If I wanted to make money by selling wine, I had to have connections with the government. I couldn't do it alone.

"I understand. Everything depends on human effort. It's not a year of famine yet. Let's find the master first."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Do your best. As long as you work hard, I guarantee that your business will prosper, you'll marry a good wife, and have a bunch of kids."

"That's great, I'll let my baby recognize you as his godmother."

"No, I get scared when I hear people calling me mom, please don't harm me, you are repaying kindness with hatred."

Liao Baojia is indeed a know-it-all in the county. He heard the reason behind Shen Nanzhi's casual remark from other people the next day. It turned out that Miss Nanzhi was betrayed by her adopted child and was heartbroken. It was really pitiful.

Shen Nanzhi didn’t know that she was being pitied again, she really didn’t feel it.

I'm staying at Niu's house tonight and teaching Aunt Niu how to make sausages in the kitchen. I can't just make sausages appear out of thin air all the time. If I really meet someone who is too picky, and they think I'm a ghost and burn me to death, that would be unfair.

"It's easy to make, but the starch is hard to buy, and the seasoning is specially prepared by me. If you want the sausage to taste good, seasoning and dipping sauce are the key. As long as you master these two, no one else can imitate us and surpass us in the future."

Aunt Niu said, "It's true. Some chefs in some restaurants bought some to try and tried to make it, but they all failed."

Many people came to inquire about the secret recipe. Aunt Niu's family also had this idea, but they were all scolded away by her. How could she let Nan Zhi down?

Nan Zhi trusted her. She was given such a good business and was paid so much. She would not be an ungrateful person.

“We can still do this business for a few months. In winter, we can wholesale in large quantities and let others sell it. We only need to make sausages and sell them to them. We can earn more and don’t have to work hard to set up a stall.

Then let the kids go to school. It won’t be a big deal if they just play at home all the time.”

Niu Debao came back from outside, sweating all over. He gulped down the boiled water Aunt Niu had given him. He was no longer thirsty and came to ask them for food. But when he heard that they were going to send him to school, he immediately objected: "I don't want to study. It's too boring. I just want to help my mother sell grilled sausages and make a lot of money in the future."

Aunt Niu got angry all of a sudden. How many children want to go to school but don't have the conditions? It's their blessing that Nan Zhi has this intention. Why doesn't she want to go?

He grabbed the rolling pin and started beating the child. He really had no choice but to beat him.

Shen Nanzhi stopped her and said, "Danniu, if you don't study, how will you manage accounts in the future? If you don't know how to manage accounts, you will never make a fortune.

Let me calculate for you, at this small stall, if we sell 2,000 sticks a day and earn 2 cents per stick, how much taels of silver can we earn?"

"Two thousand? How many hands do I need to have to count them?"

If you can’t even count numbers below ten, how can you count two thousand?

Shen Nanzhi was speechless, "Four thousand coins, one thousand coins equals one tael of silver, it's only four taels of silver, and you're still looking for two thousand fingers?

This is the consequence of not studying. You are too stupid. You don’t even know how much you are worth when you are sold.

Sister Nanzhi has studied since she was young. Didn’t you see that those people admire her? "

Niu Debao had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go study."

"Well, you have to study hard. If you dare to skip class, I will make you count two thousand fingers. When you have counted them all, that's the end."

Niu Debao was shocked. How long would it take to count with two thousand fingers?

"No, where can I find two thousand fingers? Sister Nanzhi, you are scaring me."

Shen Nanzhi smiled grimly: "I can chop off someone's fingers and count them for you. Don't worry, I promise to get them for you."

Niu Debao believed it and said, "I will study hard and stop cutting my fingers."

"Don't worry, I won't chop yours off."

"No one's. I'm going to help my sister wash her hands."

Niu Debao was scared away. Aunt Niu laughed and said, "Only you can control this monkey. It makes me so angry every day."

The child was tough. After being beaten, he let go and ran away as if nothing had happened. Aunt Niu had no choice.

"You have to use both kindness and severity to educate your children. There should be rewards and punishments. It's not like training a child like a dog. If he's obedient, you give him food. If he's disobedient, you give him a stick. I guarantee he'll be well-behaved."

Aunt Niu laughed: "That's true, Nan Zhi, you are so smart. If the Jiang family doesn't cherish you, they will regret it sooner or later."

"That's because they are unlucky. We are blessed people and we won't enter the door of the unlucky."

"That's right. No one dares to say anything bad about you in the future. Auntie will treat them like this. It's the Jiang family that is unlucky."

……

At night, Shen Nanzhi entered the space again. She accidentally got a recipe for herbal tea. Although it was not as good as a certain Laoji, it was also an old recipe, passed down by a big family in the south. They didn't make money from it, so they shared it with trusted friends. Drinking it by yourself would help relieve internal heat.

The key is that the medicinal materials are all common and cheap. Shen Nanzhi had already bought some during the day and tried them himself after boiling them.

It’s just that medicinal materials in ancient times were a bit expensive. Ordinary Prunella Vulgaris cost ten cents per two taels, so it would be a loss if it was sold as herbal tea.

However, the ancients had less oil and water, so they did not cause much inflammation, so they could add large doses of water, which was always better than Liao Baojia's original method.

When making the herbal tea, Shen Nanzhi used a yogurt machine to make yogurt and added simple dried fruits such as melon seeds and crushed peanuts. Raisins and dried cranberries were too expensive and not suitable for him to use.

Orange juice is easy to make. There is concentrated orange powder, and one spoonful can make a large pot of juice.

The last thing is osmanthus honey. Sugar was in short supply in ancient times. Whether it was white sugar or honey, the price was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Shen Nanzhi grows honey in his space. There are so many flowers on the farm, it would be a shame not to grow honey.

In the future, she can plant more fruit trees, make locust flower honey, and honeysuckle honey. All kinds of honey can make money, and she can drink them herself. Suddenly, she finds that there are ways to make money everywhere.

There are only a few buckets of osmanthus honey in the space, so give them to Liao Bao’s family first.

All three things were put into jars and finally done. It took me a whole day, mainly because the yogurt took a long time to ferment.

He took care of the crops in the space again and fell asleep immediately because he was so tired.

The next day, she came to Liao Bao's stall early. He was already waiting, rubbing his hands and looking around. When he saw her coming, he treated her more intimately than his own sister: "Miss Nanzhi, you're here quite early."

"You're here pretty early too. I promised you that I would not break my promise, so don't worry."

"Hey, of course I believe you."

"This is herbal tea, try it."

Liao Bao's main source of income is still herbal tea. After all, not many people eat iced bowls, so it's good enough to sell ten or eight bowls a day.

After taking a sip of the herbal tea, his face wrinkled with bitterness: "It's so bitter, won't it scare away the customers?"

"Forget it. This is concentrated. It needs to be diluted with water. Add water before drinking."

"Ok."

He suspected that Miss Shen did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

I added a whole bucket of water, and this time I drank it, it was different, "Well, it's okay, bitter with a little bit of sweetness, the taste is a bit strange."

"This is good stuff. Drinking a bowl of it on a hot day will refresh you and cool you down. Those who taste the benefits will come back again. It's better than the water boiled from your rough tea stalks."

“Is that costly?”

Shen Nanzhi calculated and said, "You still have some money to make. It's not bad. Plus, you have a monopoly on the ice bowl business, so the herbal tea is just a bonus."

“Can the ice bowl business be monopolized?”

"No more, no less. After those wealthy families have tasted your ice bowls, they think the ones they make at home are not tasty anymore. Why not sell them out? Wouldn't your business be better?

Once you have a good reputation, you can hire a few more errand boys to deliver goods to people’s doorsteps. This is a big business that can make money.”

Liao Baojia didn't dare to think about it, "Thanks for your good words, I'll try selling it for a day."

Shen Nanzhi said: "If you want to expand, first pick some customers to try it out and accumulate customers. These ingredients can't be kept for long. They have to be cooked fresh every day. Don't be greedy and make your customers sick."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. I know the managers of those wealthy families, so I'll ask them to give it to the masters to try.

There are only a few wealthy families in our county, and I will try to take them all down."

Shen Nanzhi provided him with ideas and materials, and the rest was up to him.

"Miss Shen, where can I find you if I want to?"

"Go to the haunted house in the west of town. I bought it."

"Ah, Miss Shen, are you so brave?"

"Being poor is scarier than being a ghost. My courage is based on profit. As a qualified businessman, this is basic courage."
