Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

When the soup on the stove is cooked, bursts of charming meat aromas emerge from the big earthen pot, which is even more exciting on this winter morning.

In their county, they are usually used to eating salty food in the morning. Ordinary people cook some porridge at home and eat pickles. Those who have money can go to the street to eat noodles or wontons, or they can eat steamed stuffed buns or bean curd. Come.

Everyone thinks that it is better to have a light meal in the morning, and you must not be used to eating a morning full of fish and meat.But the crock pot soup cooked by Zhang Shu and his family whets the appetite.

Someone passed by here and asked, "Brother, how do you sell your soup? How much is a bowl?" If it is suitable, a bowl of soup in the morning is fine, and you can buy a few buns yourself, which is also a meal. meal.

"Brother, our soup is free of charge. If you buy our pancakes, you will get a bowl of soup for free. You can sit here and eat." Zhang Shu lifted the cloth on the basket and let him take a look at the autumn potatoes. cake.

"How much does that pancake cost?"

"A penny a penny."

"Then you give me a penny, and pour me a bowl of soup." He mainly wanted to drink a bowl of broth, and the pancakes were just incidental.But when he ate the pancakes, he took a bite and it was crispy and crispy, and when he ate it, it was salty and delicious, and he took a sip of soup, it tasted really good.

"Give me two more pancakes, and another bowl of soup."

"Okay!" Li Mujin quickly helped him get the good things and sent them up.A guest is a living sign. Some people try to be more useful than you say a hundred words, so the other people passing by are you two, and the three of us ate here, and those who didn’t want to eat here bought pancakes. It’s a novelty after all, I don’t know if I will have it next time.And this little couple is willing to let them taste it first, not afraid that it won't taste good when they buy it home.

This pancake is already crispy, but it tastes even more delicious when paired with radish bone soup.Taking advantage of the new stuff, they sold almost all of these pancakes in one morning.

There were two or three left, so Zhang Shu wrapped them up and gave them to the people who set up stalls on the left and right sides. He had a lot of customers here, which took up a lot of their seats, and it was rare that neither side said anything.

When the things were sold out, they closed the stall and went home. After putting away their things, they went to the Lin's Inn to pick up the cattle. When they got home, it was already afternoon.

The two of them ate two large bowls of rice cooked by Grandma Zhang, and then Li Mujin untied the cloth bag and started counting the copper coins earned today.

Of the 120 pancakes, three were cut out for others to taste, four were wrapped for Lin Dongdong, and the last three were given to the grocery shoppers next door. In other words, they sold a total of 110 pancakes.

Zhang Shu bought bean curds for two coins, a pile of minced meat and bones for seven coins, and a two-jin big radish for one coin, making a total of ten coins.

That is to say, they went out and earned 53 Wen, excluding the cost of 47 Wen, and earned [-] Wen.

Li Mujin was quite satisfied, after all, he couldn't earn so much in a day.But Zhang Shu was not very satisfied. If he had done other things, he would have earned so much by himself. This time he brought Jin'er with him, but it was still less. So why are both of them so tired?

He had to think of another way.It would be better if the cost is lower and the things are fresher, so as to make money.It's best not to go to the city every day. His calf is still young, and if he walks seventy or eighty miles of mountain roads every day, he will definitely not be able to grow meat.

As soon as he said his thoughts, Li Mujin laughed, "Ashu, how dare you think that if money is so easy to earn, everyone's family will have gold and silver mountains. Anyway, if I can earn forty or fifty a day The text is very good." If I can earn this every day, I can earn more than one or two a month.

"Look at it. Others don't dare to think about it, but I dare to think about it. I'll let you take a look today." Zhang Shu put down his big words in front of Li Mujin.Not to mention that he has lived two lifetimes, and he still knows a little about what makes money.

"Then just let me watch." Li Muzhen encouraged him casually, and then asked, "There are no more autumn potatoes at home, so we really don't want to do this business? If I want to do it, I'll go to someone else's house to buy some. "

"No need, I can't do this job," Zhang Shu waved his hand first, and then something flashed in his mind, "Buy, buy, buy, and then go buy some, I thought of a new thing."

If they want to talk about making money in the county, no place can compare to the big river outside the city.From this big river, you can enter the sea, and the time to reach Nanhai County is much, many days shorter than before, and it is safe along the way. The navy of the imperial court attaches great importance to this waterway. Basically, there is no need to be afraid of water bandits and pirates. of the kind.

Therefore, people who do business in other places will always come to their side by boat first, and then transfer to a big boat to do business in Nanhai County, and they always have to eat something at their place on the way.Moreover, there are many workers working on the river, some help others to carry bags, some dredge the river bottom, and some go fishing by themselves in small boats near the sea.

These people work almost every day. Although it is hard work, they also earn more. They work outside all year round. Generally speaking, if a part-time worker wants to get a share of the pie, they have to be ranked first.

Of course, these people are not unwelcome by everyone, at least for those who sell food, they hope that the more the better.

One kind of food that Zhang Shu thought of this time is to use potatoes to squeeze the pulp, then make the pulp into powder, add some alum into it, stir it into a ball with boiling water, and then use a colander to make vermicelli.This is a way of eating passed down from Yanbei, but due to the inconvenient transportation, it will take at least five or six years for it to be passed on.

Next a handful of vermicelli, add two stalks of green vegetables, and then mix with a spoonful of peanut chili.Moreover, for people on the river, they are by the water all day long, and the water vapor in their bodies cannot be dispelled, and their joints are always painful at night. I can sleep better.

The more Zhang Shu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished he could sell it now, but Li Mujin looked at him strangely, saying that he would buy it, and then saying no, whether to buy it or not?And this expression is too strange, what did you think of?

"Ashu, should you buy it or not?" Li Mujin walked up to him, bent over and asked.

Zhang Shu came back to his senses, held Li Mujin's face and kissed him quickly, "Buy, buy, buy a lot, we're afraid we're going to send it out!"

Li Mujin thought silently, maybe she was going crazy.He broke Zhang Shu's hand, swept the money on the table, and then swept it into his small bag, turned around and went out to buy autumn potatoes.

Zhang Shu still stayed where he was imagining what would happen after he got rich overnight. When he found out that Li Mujin had gone out, he hurriedly followed him out. His little Jiner couldn't carry such a heavy thing back by himself.

As soon as Zhang Shu ran to the door, he saw his Jin'er standing at the door of Laiwang's house talking to Laiwang Fulang.

After seeing Zhang Shu coming out, Li Mujin said to He Yue, "Brother Yue, no need, just let Ah Shu move in."

He turned to Zhang Shu again and said, "Brother Yue's house has three baskets of autumn potatoes, I bought them all, you go and move them out, remember to return the baskets to Brother Yue later. I'll go to someone else's house to have a look."

Li Mujin is very straightforward about the things that must be bought. Such a basket of autumn potatoes, regardless of size, costs seven cents a basket.You know, autumn potatoes are not bigger than spring potatoes, so they can be sold for three to five catties at most in such a basket, but they still think they are small and not tasty.

Unless the family is very poor and eats it as a meal, most people throw two into the stove when cooking, or put two on the rice and steam them with dipping sauce, no one is willing Use big meat to cook it.

Li Mujin bought a basket with seven Wen, and there were still many people who sold it. No one would go to the market for this autumn potato. It was not good to eat, so of course it was better to sell it and buy something else.

After walking around casually outside, Li Mujin bought six baskets and came back, spending more than 40 cash, and almost lost all his earnings in a day.

Grandma Zhang watched these autumn potatoes move back in baskets, and felt worried. Could it be possible to eat autumn potatoes as a meal?Even if it’s selling pancakes, can you still lift your arms after grinding so much?
