Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

The boss just sighed and turned around to greet other people.

Lu You sat back on the bench again, picked up the tea bowl and started drinking from it in big gulps.

Although it is called a herbal tea stall, it actually just sinks the brewed tea into the well next to it to cool it down.

But even so, the tea with a slightly bitter taste still made Lu You feel refreshed.

"Uncle, give me another bowl!"

After drinking a large bowl of tea, Lu You shouted again with an unsatisfied look.

"Drink slowly!" the boss said with a smile, "Two copper coins for a bowl, it's free to drink as much as you want, drink slowly!"

Lu You chuckled when he heard that, thanked the boss again, and turned around to look around.

This time when he went into the city, in addition to buying some daily food and clothing, Lu You also wanted to see what kind of business there was.

After all, although he used some clever tricks, he managed to cheat some money from his uncle Lu Decai.

But relying on these little tricks to cheat and defraud is not sustainable, especially when the school land at home was taken away, she had to find new ways to make money.

Thinking back to the time-travel novels he had read before, Lu You couldn't help but complain inwardly.

When it comes to time-travel entrepreneurship, eight out of ten novels are about purifying fine salt, inventing soap, refining white sugar...

But now that I have really traveled back to ancient times, I find that all this is bullshit.

White sugar and fine salt are all government businesses. If you really make them yourself, there will be only two outcomes.

Otherwise, you will be thrown into jail on the spot, and the officials will decide whether to kill you or reward you, and your life or death will depend on fate.

Or they would be killed directly to boost the performance of the local government.

After all, as long as the illegal reselling of salt and sugar did not happen in his own home, the county magistrate would be happy to chop a few thieves to show his power.

As for making soap…

Lu You frowned and thought about the chemical reaction equation in his memory.

This thing is not difficult to make. It only requires lard, alcohol and caustic soda.

As for caustic soda, wood ash solution can be used instead. Lard is also relatively easy to handle, and high-concentration alcohol can be obtained through multiple distillations.

But no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to produce it in large quantities on a large scale.

Soap is a daily necessity, and its price is too low. If we want to sell in large quantities at a small profit, the production cannot keep up.

The price is set high, where can I find so many suckers?

There is only one town, Qingshi Town, within a hundred miles of Heyuan Village. How could there be so many wealthy and powerful families?

I’ve seen complaints from time travelers in novels before. They said that after they developed some soap salt, they suddenly became guests of honor among the powerful and wealthy, and all kinds of bigwigs rushed to buy their products.

Those stupid authors!

Go through one yourself and see for yourself!

Let’s see if the soap is made. Do those powerful people rob it or buy it?

In this far-flung place, being caught and interrogated for the secret recipe would be considered a happy ending.

So what can I sell?

Lu You looked around at the people in the market, picked up the bowl and wanted to take another sip of herbal tea, but found that he had already drunk it all.

If I had a cup of Mixue Bingcheng at this time...

As he was thinking about it, a sharp gleam flashed in Lu You's eyes!

Yup!

How could I have forgotten it?

Ice jelly!

This is a must-have skill for the heroines of almost all female time-travel novels!

In the hot summer, a bite of sweet and refreshing ice jelly would fascinate these ignorant ancient people, right?

Especially since this thing is a food, it is not regulated, and the materials can be bought on the market, so there is a lot of room for operation if you want to produce it in large quantities.

Lu You, who was fantasizing about creating an ice jelly empire, had the smile on his face freeze the next second.

Because he thought of the most important question!

How to make ice jelly?

In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage. Although she helped in the kitchen, the most she did was picking vegetables and washing rice.

As for stir-frying, at most I would fry some eggs and shredded potatoes.

This ice powder...

God knows how to do it!!

Goudan’s time-travel novel!

I am a time traveler, probably just here to make up the numbers?

"Uncle! Give me another bowl!"

In desperation, Lu You called out to the boss again.

"coming!!"

Upon hearing this, the boss picked up the teapot and poured another bowl of herbal tea for Lu You.

"Girl, if you still have relatives in this town, go find them right away after you finish this cup of tea. Don't delay."

After filling the cup of tea, the boss spoke to Lu You with a smile on his face, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lu You felt something and turned around to look around, only to see a shifty-looking man talking to a few burly men in cardigans with bare chests across the street.

Seeing that he was looking at them, the man with shifty eyes immediately shifted his gaze away.

However, those big men did not shy away at all and even sneered in Lu You's direction.

As for his gaze, it was fixed on the table in front of Lu You, and it was obvious that he was after the money.

"Girl, drink this bowl of tea and leave quickly!"

The old man reminded again in a low voice while wiping the table.

"The scarred leader of that group is called Zheng Rong, also known as Zheng Xiezi. He is a well-known scoundrel on this street."

"On weekdays, besides working as a thug in the casino, I usually wander around the city."

"If he were to target us, it would be better if there were more people around. If there were fewer people, we would inevitably suffer some losses..."

Before the old man finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in Lu You's mind.

[Negative emotions from Sun Fu +10, +10, +10...]

Someone with malicious intent approached within ten meters of him!

Lu You turned his head and saw a sturdy man crossing the street and walking straight towards him.

"Old Yang! I can see you gossiping from a distance. I don't think you want to open this tea stall anymore, do you?"

Before he got close, Sun Fu pointed at the old man and started scolding him.

Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly stood up, bowed and smiled.

"How dare I chew my tongue!"

"Sit down, sir. I'll pour you a bowl of water to relieve your fatigue..."

As the old man spoke, he took out an empty bowl and prepared to pour a bowl of cold tea for Sun Fu.

But who would have thought that before the tea bowl was put down, Sun Fu raised his hand and slapped it aside.

Click! !

The tea bowl broke, and Sun Fu stepped on the bench and looked at the old man who kept sneering.

"Old man Yang! Be the best you can be from now on, or I'll blow up your shitty business!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man stepped aside with a smile, but the look he gave Lu You was a little more helpless.

[Negative emotions from Sun Fu +30, +30, +30...]

Following the system prompt sound, Sun Fu stood on the bench with one foot, looked Lu You up and down, and finally spoke slowly.

"I say... little girl..."

Almost at the moment Sun Fu opened his mouth, Lu You raised his foot and kicked the bench under his feet.

Bang! !

With a slight sound, Lu You stood up and attacked.

His right hand had already pulled Sun Fu's head and smashed it heavily on the tea bowl in front of him...
