He saved money in ancient times to marry

The county town is far away, and it's almost noon at this moment. If you want to arrive before dark and find a place to live, you can't rely on manpower. Bai Li may be able to fight, but it will be a bit hard to bring Bai Qing.

So the two hired a donkey cart in the town, which cost four Wen. Bai Qing was very distressed, but there was nothing she could do. She only hated that she was not a man and couldn't walk and run.

In the evening, the donkey cart creaked and creaked and brought the two of them to the county seat. This county seat is called Huyang County, and it is a relatively affluent county seat.

Bai Qing seemed very timid, and Bai Li could understand it in his heart. The traffic is not developed these days, and the mind is blocked. How many people have never left the small mountain village where they live in their lives. Bai Qing has never even been to the town, let alone let her come all of a sudden. To the bustling county town.

Not to mention Bai Qing, even Bai Li himself was quite disturbed.They were born in poverty, with no roots and no roots. It is not much easier for them to gain a foothold in this strange city than it is for migrant workers from the original world to struggle to survive in a new city.

The days of summer are long, the sun has not yet set, Bai Li is not willing to spend money to find a dental shop, so he takes Bai Qing to Shangganfang in the West Market, where the people living here are ordinary people in the market, most of them are doing small business Yes, there are also peasants, whose houses are simpler, but the prices are very cheap.

Bai Li had inquired about this place before, and the people were not bad, most of them were honest ordinary people, and the government control was very strict, there were relatively more officials patrolling here, but it was relatively safe.

The two wandered around Shangganfang for half an hour, and found out that a family wanted to rent a house. The monthly rent was 120 Wen, and Bai Li didn't have that much money, so they discussed paying a deposit of [-] Wen first, and they would make it up together at the end of the month. .

The landlord was a solid man. Seeing that the two siblings were young and lonely, life was not easy, and they were two handsome and handsome children, he agreed without any difficulty, and even helped tidy up the yard.

This is an independent yard, a bit narrow, but it is well-equipped with all internal organs. The landlord also comes back to clean it on weekdays, so it is not too messy. The siblings work diligently, and in the evening they packed up the living needs. Bai Qing After boiling hot water and washing the pot carefully, Bai Li soaked the beans.

The siblings only had one box. Bai Li had seen the box. It contained some books and half-worn baskets and baskets. There was nothing useful, they didn't even have a quilt.Poorly shabby.

Bai Li took out those books and looked through them. There were only some enlightenment books and a set of four books, and he had hardly looked through them, so he put the books in a basket and carried them to the second-hand book market to sell.

Bai Qing was very distressed, and repeatedly stopped her. In her eyes, reading is a sacred and noble thing, and only very down-and-out people will sell books to survive when they have to.

But why are they not downcast people now?

Bai Qing sighed, and watched Bai Li sell those books, exchanged two quilts, two mattresses, and two pillows.

Bai Li was very satisfied. He couldn't buy so many things by selling these books in the original world, and books were expensive in this era, which made him feel like he was taking advantage.

The quilts are made of rough fabrics, and Bai Li is not picky, so he doesn't have the capital to pursue the quality of life right now.

The siblings were very tired that day, and they almost fell asleep with their eyes closed. There was no light at home, so they went to bed early and woke up early the next day.

It was just dawn, and Bai Li took the beans to the mill in the workshop to grind them. They had already inquired about the location of the mill. At this moment, people had not woken up, and there was no one in the mill. The siblings used two stone mills to make soybean milk.

When they got home, they boiled soy milk and ordered tofu. Bai Li sold a load of tofu, and Bai Qing pressed the rest with stones and cloth.

There was a handsome young man in the workshop, with a new face, and the tofu he made was white and tender. The neighbors were all curious, and the tofu was already sold out before he walked out of Shangganfang. or two liters of beans.

There is a grocery store in the workshop, and Bai Li brought back some soy sauce, star anise and sugar. These seasonings were not cheap, and they cost more than half of Bai Li's income.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Qing asked after taking the burden.

"For making tofu."

"Dried tofu?"

"Yes, we can't just sell tofu, we have to increase the variety of products."

Bai Li poured soy sauce, star anise and sugar into the pot and boiled it to make marinade. He could have used more ingredients to make more delicious marinade, but he was short of money and only picked some important ones.

Boil the marinade and let it cool, then press the tofu, blanch it in boiling water, then throw it into the marinade, the taste will be almost ready at dinner time, Bai Li takes out a piece and cuts it, and mixes it with some soy sauce , with steamed bean dregs, this is a dinner.

Bai Li felt bitter in his heart - he was about to vomit after eating tofu.

The stewed dried tofu had to be pressed again, and the next day Bai Li picked up the burden. The dried tofu was sold together with the tofu.

He had observed on the street a long time ago, there are no vendors selling dried tofu here, but there are tofu shops, but it is too far away from Shangganfang, and the vendors on the street only sell tofu.

So dried tofu is very popular, and Siwen is not a lot of money for the people in the county, so it is no problem to buy it once a few days.

When they came back to count the money at night, the siblings were very happy, and Bai Qing hid all the money in a basket to save food and money.

However, making tofu does not make a lot of money every day, so it can barely survive. After paying the rent and excluding the money for daily necessities, the two siblings are left with only two eldest sons after a month.

Bai Qing put away the two copper coins, and Bai Li was heartbroken to death. He already loved money, and he had experienced the suffering of having no money to treat diseases. He had an instinctive love for money. After going out, the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and five internal organs all hurt.

Bai Qing's cooking is delicious, and she is diligent and careful. In a few days, the dried tofu and tofu tasted better than Bai Li's. Bai Li did some research and made some bean curd sticks and bean curd skin, which sold very well. .

In this way, the life of the siblings is getting better and better. They built a shed outside the yard to sell soy products. The products include tofu, dried tofu, yuba, and tofu skin. They also get up early in the morning to sell soy milk and tofu brain. It's tiring, but the victory lies in freedom. Whether you earn more or less is your own.

The two siblings also got to know the neighbors in Shangganfang, and everyone in Shangganfang knew the handsome sibling who was new. But it can't help that Bai Li's small mouth is sweet and good-looking, and the neighbors around him like him very much.

Three rooms away there is a young man named Cheng Jiu who can jump up and down. He is a few years older than Bai Li. Ai followed Cheng Jiu to run around and play.

Cheng Jiu's father is a peddler who wanders around, and there is an old carriage at home. Cheng Jiu will do some car rental work. He is familiar with the things in the nearby cities and villages. Bai Li likes to be with him and listen to his nonsense. Cowhide.

There are towering mountains on the outskirts of the county seat. Cheng Jiu’s family got a new pony. The two of them often took the pony to run on the mountain, but the pony can’t go to high places, and it’s boring to always play at the bottom of the mountain. Tie the horse down the mountain and walk into the mountain to have fun.

The weather was cold, and the two teenagers were so hot that they didn't know the cold. They had been crazy in the woods for a long time, and now they were panting for a walk to rest. An indescribable sense of comfort.

It's good to be alive.

Cheng Jiu gasped and smiled and said, "Xiaobai, you can do it. No one in Shangganfang has been able to accompany me for a long time. I'm so crazy."

Bai Li also laughed: "People don't run wild when they are young, but they can't run when they are old."

Cheng Jiu gave a thumbs up: "That's right, I felt the same way. My fourth uncle came back a few days ago and said that he would take me on a boat in the spring of next year. Then I won't be so crazy with you. Be careful when you play by yourself."

He pointed to the top of the mountain: "I can't go further up, there are wild animals, and the road is not easy to walk."

Bai Li squinted his eyes to look up, and said, "So, before you leave, let's go up for a while!"

Cheng Jiu was taken aback, and laughed loudly: "You are quite courageous, you have a temper, go up and have a look."

That Cheng Jiu is used to being wild, courageous and strong, there is no place he dare not go. In the past, maybe thinking of his parents' instructions, he went down the mountain halfway up, but now Bai Li is behind him Agitation, I have already thrown those earnest wishes to the back of my mind.

The two climbed for a while, Bai Li called to stop, Cheng Jiu was in front of him, turned around and asked, "Why, can't you climb anymore?"

Bai Li pointed not far away: "I found it!"

"WTF?"

Panting heavily, Bai Li crawled over, hanging on the edge of the steep cliff to pick a small tree. Seeing this, Cheng Jiu was frightened and stopped him immediately: "Come back soon, you little monkey boy, I'll get it for you."

Cheng Jiu was much stronger than Bai Li, and when he climbed to the edge of the cliff, he scooped up the small tree with his long arm.

"Be careful!" Bai Li felt distressed: "There is only one wild alpine rhododendron in this area, don't break the root for me."

Cheng Jiu scolded with a smile: "Little bastard, don't care about your ninth master, but about this crap!"

He jumped to Bai Li's side, handed him the Alpine Rhododendron, and asked curiously, "What did you just say? Can it be sold for money?"

Bai Li carefully inspected the roots of Rhododendron alpine, and found that Cheng Jiu was thick but thin, and the root system was relatively intact. Bai Li heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This is Rhododendron alpine, a very beautiful and precious flower. Well, it can be sold for a big price."

Cheng Jiu clicked his tongue twice and said, "You kid still understand these things?"

"Understood, I can still raise them." Bai Li is not modest. He is qualified to say this. During his recuperation, he raised a whole house of flowers. Every time he sees these vigorous plants, he feels that his life is still hopeful. Let’s continue, but in the end, fate cannot be controlled, the house is full of flowers, and the four seasons are lively, but he passed away in the fragrance of flowers at the end of summer.

Bai Li once thought about what he could do and what he needed to survive in this world. He clearly realized that the feudal society would not allow a star of invention and creation to rise. He could make soap and glass, but he couldn't. I dare not take it out.

The economic lifeline of a country is like the root of a plant. The main root is in the hands of the royal family, and the side roots are in the hands of the big families. Even if it is a small root hair, it must not be a helpless poor man like him behind it.

So he chooses to be low-key and prudent, and start with the industry that already exists in this world-is he not allowed to invent, and he is not allowed to improve?

So he started by making tofu, but making tofu was not a long-term solution after all, and Bai Li didn't want to spend his life in poverty, so he put his mind on flowers, which he was best at.

Flowers and green plants are an elegant thing in this era, and they are mostly popular in the upper class. Bai Li has made a plan. After growing the flowers, he can not only earn money, but also be favored by adults in this era. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
