Earn money to support your family in ancient times

"Mom, I'm back!" Su Nuo ran to the kitchen and gave the fine noodles to Su Mu, "This is from Brother Tang, mother, fry it and eat."

"I went out to sell herbal medicine early in the morning, and I just came back now. If I hadn't heard that you helped the refugee move, I would have gone to you!" Su Nuo poked Su Nuo's forehead angrily. He took the fine noodles angrily, "You too, how can a brother be so able to do work for himself, and not afraid of tiring himself!"

Su Nuo repeatedly apologized, and coaxed his mother softly: "Mother, I think he is alone and has no relatives, and he is from the same village, and his character is not bad, so I help him."

"Then if you go out for so long in the future, you have to tell me that your father and I are only one child of you. If something happens to you, how will we live!" Su Nuo glared at Su Nuo, and only agreed when Su Nuo agreed. His face calmed down, and he stretched out his hand to unwrap the thin noodles wrapped in big leaves, "What did you say about thin noodles, I—"

Oh, this is made of fine noodles!

Mother Su was dazzled by Bai Jinjin's face, she came back to her senses, looked at Su Nuo with burning eyes and said, "That Tang Yuan gave it?!"

The style of this noodle is a little different from what they usually eat, but it looks like it is made of good flour, and it costs at least a dozen yuan to sell it!

Su Nuo nodded: "Brother Tang gave it to him, and he has to open a small stall to sell it!"

"It looks like a serious person. You helped him, and he gave you something. He is a person who can communicate." Su Mu was relieved, and began to think about the fine noodles again, "How do you eat this?"

"You can eat it however you want," Su Nuo still thinks it tastes better when cooked like Tang Yuan's. "However, I think Brother Tang cooks it fried. It tastes very good. Mother, you should also try it fried."

Su Nuo told Mrs. Su how to stir-fry, and Mrs. Su clicked her tongue and said, "It's really worth it. You're willing to use so much oil and sauce for just such a small order of noodles."

"Mum, why don't you try it, maybe Dad likes it too, Dad studies in the room all day and even has a bad appetite, maybe this fried noodles can make Dad eat a few more bites."

Su's father is the only child of the Su family. He was smart since he was a child, and he was admitted to Tongsheng at a young age. Everyone in the Su family waited for him to honor his ancestors. He failed, and his parents passed away one after another. Only Su's father, Su's mother, and Su Nuo, who just learned to walk, remained in the Su family.

He couldn't help being disheartened and didn't want to take the exam again, thinking of going out to find a job to support the family, but Su's mother disagreed and insisted that he continue to take the exam and support the family by himself, but Su's father couldn't hold back her, so he had to swear in his heart to study hard , get admitted as soon as possible so that the mother and son can live a good life.

But the exam is really uncertain. Su's father has not passed the exam until now, and he shut himself in the room to study all day long. He is not in good health. Both Su Nuo and Su's mother are a little worried.

Mother Su thought of her husband who had lost weight recently, and gritted her teeth: "Okay! Mother will make this fried noodles!"

Sure enough, Su's father really liked the fried noodles, and he ate a lot more than usual. Su's mother didn't feel bad anymore, and asked Su Nuo to ask Tang Yuan if he could buy some more.

Su Nuo poured Su's father a glass of water and looked at Su's mother: "Okay, but Brother Tang said that he wanted to sell something called cold noodles. It must be better than fried noodles. I will buy it for you and dad when the time comes." Try it."

"He's so good at being a man," Su's mother was surprised, and laughed again, "Then you can keep the money you sell the medicine for yourself, I still have it here."

Reading is a costly thing, not to mention books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are very expensive. In Su Nuo's family, he also got to know some herbs in the past two years. He often collects herbs and sells them to make a living.

Although Su's mother said so, Su Nuo still gave most of the money from selling medicine to Su's mother.

"There is nothing wrong at home. I promised Brother Tang that I will help him tomorrow. He is so kind. Maybe he will send me a bowl to try. Besides, even if I buy it myself, the money in my hand will be used up." That's enough, mother will use the money to add some ink to father."

Su's mother glanced at Su's father, her eyes were slightly wet, and she said warmly: "Okay, mother, take it, good boy."

Su's father patted her hand, and Su's mother understood what he meant, they should only save the money for Su Nuo as a dowry.

Maoshi may be considered very early in Tang Yuan's previous life, but it can only be regarded as a normal wake-up time in this era. When Tang Yuan came here, his habits have gradually changed, and it is not difficult for him to get up at dawn.

He rinsed carefully with cold water, thinking that he might meet his parents when he went to Su Nuo's house today, he immediately remembered the tattered clothes on his body, he smiled helplessly, he didn't expect to buy clothes for himself, What a mistake.

Fortunately, although the clothes on his body were tattered, they were clean, and at most he was considered poor.

Tang Yuan arrived at the door of his house according to the location Su Nuo said yesterday, and Su Nuo was already waiting at the door.

Tang Yuan didn't see Su's father and Su's mother, and the two went to Uncle Niu's house that Su Nuo mentioned.

Tang Yuanjiang asked to talk to him, and he agreed without hesitation, saying that he could do it, and the price was affordable, 250 renminbi.

Tang Yuan paid a deposit of [-] Wen and waited for two days to pick it up, and then went to the town with Su Nuo to purchase the materials to be used.

He went directly to the Wangji grocery store he had been to last time, and the boss still remembered him. Seeing him buying a lot of things at once, he smiled more kindly: "Don't worry, little brother, there is no one in the whole town whose price is cheaper than mine." It’s a fair store, if you buy more in the future, we can still negotiate the price.”

Tang Yuan also thinks this store is good, and if his business is good, he can cooperate for a long time.

The two of them went back in the bullock cart again this time. Although everything was tightly packed in bags, the other people on the bullock cart still stared at the big bags, but this time they didn't meet them. The person who didn't wink, the people in the car just gathered together and muttered.

Tang Yuan didn't care, as long as the crime didn't come in front of his eyes, he didn't have time to deal with it.

He went back to work on the chili oil, alkali noodles and other things needed to make cold noodles, especially the alkali noodles. If you want to make cold noodles, you have to cook them and pour some oil on them, then quickly dust them off with chopsticks, and then let them cool for later use.

Tang Yuan got up early and worked late for two days before getting everything ready. He even made three bowls for Su Nuo and Su's father and mother to taste.

The car made by Uncle Niu was even better than he imagined, and he paid for it readily.

On the day when the stall opened, he pushed the cart borrowed from Uncle Niu's house to the town early.

He had searched for a place to set up a stall a long time ago. There were a lot of people. Although there were many stalls, he was confident that his cold noodles would not lose to others.

The bright red chili oil, the pure sour vinegar, and the red, green and white shreds of cucumber and carrot are arranged one by one, which are beautiful and attractive.

Finally someone couldn't help but ask, "What are you selling?"

Tang Yuan pointed to the thin noodles on the side: "Cold noodles, six yuan a bowl, hot and sour appetizer, why don't you try a bowl? Guaranteed to be delicious!"

"What is this, why haven't I heard of it?" The man was dressed richly, and he thought he didn't have any delicious food that he hadn't eaten, so he clicked his tongue twice and waved his hand, "Then try a bowl!"

When opening the door for the first order, Tang Yuan was naturally serious, quickly made a bowl and handed it to the person.

The curious people on the side all looked at the man. The man mixed the noodles twice, and the hot and sour taste spread away. His eyes lit up, and he picked up a big chopstick and took a big mouthful of the noodles, and then... his head I never lifted it up.

The people on the side waited anxiously: "How is it! How is it!"

A serving of cold noodles is not much, and the man finished it quickly, wiped his mouth, and shouted at Tang Yuan, "One more bowl!"

Then I had time to say to the people beside me: "This noodles are delicious! It's not as soft as usual, but it's not so hard. It breaks after a little bite. It tastes cool and comfortable! Inside The chili oil is also very fragrant, full of pepper flavor! I saw him put vinegar just now, but for some reason, I didn’t taste the jerkyness of the vinegar at all! Pair it with this refreshing side dish, it’s amazing !"

Tang Yuan was a little proud of himself. Would it be delicious? The chili oil and vinegar took him a lot of work. The chili oil was first fried with several spices and then poured on the chili powder. The vinegar was also prepared first. Sauté cinnamon and pepper in oil in a pan, then pour vinegar, add light soy sauce and sugar to remove the bad sour taste of vinegar, of course the food made through such troublesome steps is delicious.

Hearing what he said, many people around couldn't help it. People in the town are much richer than farmers. Although they can't go to restaurants often, many people are willing to spend a little money at roadside stalls.

"Give me a bowl!"

"Bring me a bowl too!"

The business came up immediately, and Tang Yuan's face was full of smiles. It seems that he did the right business!

There were too many people, and although Tang Yuan moved swiftly, he had to collect money, make cold noodles, and set up a stall for the first time by himself, so he was a little too busy.

Fortunately, the cold noodles he had just prepared were not many, and they were sold out quickly, which prevented him from making mistakes.

But those who didn't eat it were in a bad mood, and asked repeatedly: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"You must come tomorrow, I'm still waiting to eat!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, he was complained by the people next to him: "You have eaten two bowls and it's not enough! If you eat less, maybe I will eat it!"

The man chuckled and said, "Then it can't be my fault, it's just that the cold noodles are so delicious!"

The man thought, if the stall owner comes again tomorrow, he must buy some for his mother or daughter-in-law and children to taste. He just ate it for himself, it really shouldn't be!

Tang Yuan was naturally happy to see that his cold noodles were so popular, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will come at this time tomorrow."

Everyone told him to prepare more before they dispersed slowly.

Tang Yuan has been busy for a long time without drinking a sip of water, and now he is not in a hurry to close the stall and walk back. First, he poured himself half a pot of water, wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat on his head, and leaned against the shady tree rest.

The weather was too hot, and he just couldn't stand it after being busy for a while. Fortunately, he asked Uncle Niu to add a big oil-paper umbrella to the car to cover it.

After resting for a long time, Tang Yuan packed up his things and went back. On the way back, he had to endure another toss under the sun. If he hadn't been stronger these days, he might have collapsed a long time ago.

Making money is hard work, but it will not be hard when Tang Yuan returns home and counts the money.

He poured the copper coins in the box on the table, and listening to the sound of clattering, he felt very relieved.

After excluding the cost, he earned seventy coins today!This is because he prepared a little less material today. If he had prepared more, he would have earned back all the money he made for the car by working a few more days!

Although the money is not as much as he sold the Polygonum multiflorum, but it can last for a long time, and there is no danger. Relying on your own hands is much more reliable than relying on the luck given by God.

Tang Yuan didn't want to ruin his body, so he took a nap before getting up to prepare things for setting up a stall tomorrow. Because he had a lot of things to prepare, he went to bed very late.

It was only when he was half asleep and half awake that he thought about how many clothes he should make. He felt that in a few days he would not be able to hold on to the clothes...

The author has something to say: Tang Yuan: How long have I been wearing this tattered dress...

PS: I really love cold noodles in summer, and hot dry noodles are completely out of favor~
