I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 486 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (4)

After arriving at the county seat, Shi's father told Uncle Cai that they would meet at the place where the ox cart was parked at noon and go back together at that time.

Because Father Shi and his daughter gave money, Uncle Cai nodded in agreement.

The fields here don't produce much, and after paying the tax, the family doesn't have much food.

Not to mention, if they want to make money in the countryside, it is more difficult than reaching the sky, and every penny they can earn is one penny.

Anyway, it's just a little bit of strength for the cow, so go back and ask the children at home to cut more tender grass for the cow to eat.

After parting from Uncle Cai, Shi's father asked passers-by, and then led Shi Jiang towards the grocery store.

Grain seasonings are basically available in grocery stores.

Shi Jiang was also very curious, and followed Shi's father, looking around at the county town of An County.

It's really that the county seat of An County is too dilapidated. It is said to be a county seat, but it is actually similar to a town. There is only one main street, and you can walk from one end to the other end, even if you have finished walking.

At the end of the main street is the county office, and this main street is considered the busiest place in the county.

Walking about a kilometer to the left from the county government office, there is a Qingfeng Academy. It can be said that scholars in the entire An County study in this academy.

On the right side of the county government office, there is the largest restaurant in An County. The one with accommodation is opened by the wife and brother of the county magistrate.

It's just that the business is usually very light.

What the restaurant owner wants to do is those businessmen who come to Jingzhou to run business.

They usually go outside the customs to collect those furs, and it is inconvenient to bring too many things, so they will ask for a few rooms here as a temporary foothold.

Shi's father just bought some food and seasonings, so he found out everything about An County.

"Jiang'er, you heard that, if you do business here, if you do business with local people, you will probably lose any money. But if you do business with those running merchants, you will have trouble with the county magistrate. You have to know , we are here now, even a mere county magistrate can make life difficult for our family, understand?"

Walking out of the grocery store, Shi's father lowered his voice, and broke the truth to his daughter who was full of joy.

Shi Jiang shook his head when he heard Shi's father's words.

"Father, the local villagers are really not willing to pay, but you said, for some people, if they want to buy something, will the family members pay for it even if they are reluctant? Besides, who said If you do business, you must have trouble with the county magistrate? We can definitely share the benefits with the county magistrate, and I think the county magistrate will not hate to earn more money."

Hearing what his daughter said, Shi's father was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and looked to the left of the county government office.

"You mean, do business for scholars?"

Shi Jiang nodded vigorously. Just now, when Shi's father was asking the owner of the grocery store for news, she was not idle.

From the mouth of the clerk, I learned that Qingfeng Academy does not provide meals, so these scholars have to bring their own lunch boxes when they come to study.

If it is winter, you have to eat cold meals.

If it is summer, it is very likely to eat rotten food.

But if you don't eat, you will be hungry.

Many students have no choice but to let their families make the kind of thick and not afraid to put the noodle pancakes to eat.

At least this kind of noodle pancakes are not afraid of eating bad stomach in summer, and soaked in water in winter to soften the bite, and you can barely eat them.

It's just that it's tasteless!
What Shi Jiang wanted to make was bean paste, the kind with garlic and chili added.

The cost is cheap, and the selling price will not be very expensive.

It is most suitable for the students in this academy, besides these students, there is also the caravan running out of customs.

After leaving the customs, there is a boundless grassland, and there is nothing to eat except steamed buns and buns!
If you put some garlic bean paste in these things, you will never let the birds fade out of your mouth.

Of course, she wouldn't just go to those motorcades that run the business.

After all, Shi Jiang didn't know how many times they came a year.

It's better to do business with the wife and brother of the county magistrate who is ready to open a restaurant here, and it will be more stable.

Shi Jiang is confident that as long as this garlic bean paste is popularized, the [-] troops guarding the border will make their family earn a lot of money, and they will not worry about eating and drinking in the future.

And now, the Great Wall, they have to take the first step.

Buy soybeans, garlic and peppers and go back. First, sell them at the academy, earn some capital, and then talk about the second step.

Father Shi's eyes flickered, and he asked solemnly.

"Jiang'er, where did you get that garlic bean paste recipe?"

Shi Jiang pouted and said, "When I went to my grandmother's house in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw it in the miscellaneous books I bought casually. It's just that you don't like me reading such miscellaneous books, so I didn't dare to bring them home."

Shi's father recalled that when he was at home before, this daughter liked to read those messy travel notes and miscellaneous books. He also said that she once made her angry with him for more than half a month before calming down.

"Okay, let's buy the things back. You try it first. If it doesn't work, don't be sad. Dad promises that you and your mother won't suffer."

Father Shi touched the top of his daughter's head and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went into the grocery store again, and bought some of the few materials that Shi Jiang requested.

After buying it, Shi's father took Shi Jiang to the butcher shop to buy some meat.

Looking at the stick bones, pork heart, liver, and large intestines on the butcher's stall, Shi Jiang resisted the urge to point out these things and ask the butcher's owner how to sell them.

After all, the recipe for making garlic bean paste can be said to be seen in miscellaneous books.

But these stick bones and pigs, how did she, a daughter of a dignified fifth-rank official, know how to make these things?

It can be said that Shi Jiang would never have had the opportunity to touch these butcher shops if he hadn't been exiled this time.

After all, for a daughter like her, the meat has already been cooked and brought to her.

If she asked Shi's father to buy these things, it would definitely make Shi's father and Shi's mother wonder if the person in front of her was their daughter.

So, she has to hold back.

It may be that Shi Jiang looked at the bone with too hot eyes. After Shi's father bought a catty of fat meat, he paused, and spent another five yuan for the butcher shop owner to tie the bone together. .

The butcher shop owner didn't expect that someone would pay five cents for this stick bone, so he smiled and gave him two extra fan bones, which was considered an extra.

After all, there is no meat on this stick bone, and most of the time no one buys it, and at night, he can only throw it to the family dog ​​for extra meals.

Fortunately, Shi's father was clever, even though he came in Uncle Cai's bullock cart, he didn't forget to bring a basket.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to take so many things by himself.

As for asking Shi Jiang to help carry things, Father Shi didn't even think about it.
