The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 109
After entering the city, there are indeed fewer people. Although the people in the city are preparing to eat and celebrate the New Year at home, they have almost eaten at this time. What kind of food, so as soon as they arrived at the market, all these stewed meat and dried meat were snatched up...

After all, the Chinese New Year's dishes have already faded out. It's really wonderful to eat some delicious braised pork.

A group of people couldn't laugh or cry, especially Zhong Gensheng sighed: "I knew I would kill one more pig to sell..." Seeing that many people came late, and when they asked them that they were sold out, they looked regretful. It was really pitiful. .

Shen Sisi chuckled lightly and said: "From now on, let's kill two heads every day, let Er Gouzi and the others guard the stall one by one, instead of guarding by two... It's better..."

She turned back and smiled again: "Are you willing?! One person keeps fifty catties, and when it's sold out, each person gets fifty yuan... But you are going to bring the brine to dry, this is not considered money..."

Er Gouzi's eyes lit up, and said, "Yes, yes."

They had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but it came true as soon as the Chinese New Year opened, and they were all overjoyed at once, and their daily wages had increased a lot. Who could be unhappy? !After a month, I can earn one or two half of the silver, which is a great thing, and working in the city doesn't cost that much...

This stewed meat is easy to sell, even if one person keeps a stall, at most it will be sold out by noon.They don’t care even if they sell marinated dried meat. Didn’t they sell it before? This is better than meat. After all, not everyone can afford meat every day. When they want to eat meat but are reluctant to buy it, they just I will buy this dental fest, what a great thing...

Er Gouzi and the others were so happy that they jumped up immediately, they knew that they would have meat to eat with the local girl.

The Yu Dynasty did not suppress business very much, so although the status of businessmen is lower than that of ordinary civilians, they are not considered cheap, and the management is not so strict, so there is no need to worry about Shensi because they are engaged in commercial activities. , and the change of nationality will not affect the exams of the second treasure and the third treasure.

However, people with fame are not allowed to engage in business, this is to prevent affecting the balance of the market.

Originally, Shen Sisi asked Er Gouzi and the others to sell meat, and they went shopping by themselves, and went to Fumanlou to have a look, but they didn't expect the meat to be sold so fast, so they had to go to Fumanlou together in a donkey cart.

Shopkeeper He greeted them happily when he saw them coming, took them into the backyard, watched tea again, and said with a smile: "Forgive me, I'm really busy. If you can't make an order, you will have to quarrel. There is really no way..."

It was a cold day, and he was still sweating profusely on his head, which made Shen Sisi really speechless, it seemed that he was really busy.

Zhong Gensheng smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you in the midst of his busy schedule..."

Shopkeeper He hurriedly said: "...Where is it, I still have time to entertain you, so stay for a light meal at noon." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "No, we have to go back to collect the pigs, and we have to buy some things to go back , there is no way to stay, next time, thank you for your hospitality..."

Shopkeeper He said helplessly: "I'm busy, hey, I'll have some free time during the Chinese New Year. I see, there is no day off for Fumanlou. Starting from today, it has been full of orders for a month..."

"I think this way, right? Although I'm busy, it's better than being idle..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Since the business is so good, you might as well raise the price again. The side dishes you order don't raise the price, but the bottom of the pot But you can raise the price..."

Shopkeeper He's eyes lit up, and said: "Yes, I have to think about it, this pot is the only one..."

Seeing that he understood, Shen Sisi smiled, and without disturbing his thinking, he asked Zhong Gensheng to put down the gift he had brought, and they came out. Shopkeeper He gave it out apologetically and said, "I'm so rude, I must treat you well next time." , you also take some time to come over to our Fumanlou for a meal, bring your wife and the children at home..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded and said: "The shopkeeper's business is important, next time I have a chance, I will definitely come..."

Shopkeeper He nodded, and thought to Shen Si again: "If there is any pickled cabbage, I would like to collect some more. I even bought a yard to store these. For those empty tanks, I let the staff pull the bottom material every day." Time to send it over..."

"Success..." Shen Sisi smiled, got into the donkey cart, said hello and left.

Then go to the market to buy things.Er Gouzi and the others didn't have any objections, instead they looked around and bought things. They now have a lot more money and can buy some things they want, but some people are willing and some are not, and they just want to save money.

There are not many vegetables for sale in winter, just some Chinese cabbage, which was dug out and put in the cellar years ago, and it is not too fresh, but it is better than eating pickles. Shen Sisi bought a lot and put it on the donkey cart, because It's just after the Chinese New Year, this food is really not cheap, but now Shen Sisi doesn't care, since he has money, there is no need to worry about how much the food costs.

She can eat the vegetables in the space, but it's really hard to explain it now. She should find a reason to bring it out for everyone to eat when the vegetables are harvested in spring.I guess it tastes good...

I bought vegetables, and bought some grain, rice, and noodles. Now I don’t eat black noodles at home. I buy white noodles. I bought some sesame oil, sesame oil, and lard. Now the family kills pigs every day. There is no shortage, so they Now it saves money.

I also bought salt, sugar, spices, soy sauce, vinegar and many other miscellaneous things, and pulled a donkey cart almost full.

So when we went back, we could only sit and meditate on the donkey cart. Zhong Gensheng led the donkey and walked back slowly. The car was unloaded, and it was still early, so Zhong Gensheng went out early to collect the pigs. It was dark and early, and if he didn't go out early, he might be delayed, and the road was not easy, so he had to take advantage of Butcher Wang's arrival. When it comes time to collect a few more pigs and come back, he is thinking about killing two pigs, so that six people go to the stall every day, which is a big income...

Dabao is still in the accounts, paying wages, reconciling accounts with Shen Sisi, and counting the money.

Shen Sisi checked the ledger and there was no discrepancy, so she took the money and said, "Four Treasures, how much is the family spending for the Chinese New Year this year..."

Sibao brought over an account book, and said helplessly, "I didn't record many of them before, but according to the book, there are 240 taels..."

Previously, Shen Sisi was thinking about letting him be the housekeeper and manager, so he asked him to keep the family accounts.Dabao is in charge of stewed meat accounts. Although the two manage differently, they are essentially the same.After training, both of them are very capable now...

"It's really not ignorance, it's shocking..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "But it's true that a lot of money has flowed out of my hands during the Chinese New Year. Now the family's expenses are really quite big..."

During the Chinese New Year, it’s time to buy vegetables and give gifts. Not to mention expensive things, the most important thing is that you can’t give gifts. Important people naturally gave a lot of gifts. Although Li Zheng and Niu Laogen also returned gifts, what was spent was always spent.

Besides, the things given to Mr. Lin should not be too bad. The things they gave were all exquisite, and they were given to Shu Xiu, so the family's expenses would naturally be heavy.

Shen Sisi saw that he remembered the accounts, not only the accounts were very clear, but the handwriting was also a beautiful sight, she smiled and said: "Go on, when the spring comes, the family's expenses will be more..."

"...Well." Sibao responded, just chuckled. Although the expenses were large, the income was even greater. Shopkeeper Guanghe received 50 taels that day, and the family would never worry about spending money...

Shen Sisi gave him the ledger, and told him to grind the seasonings, which is what Sibao has to do every day. After grinding, Shen Sisi comes in to fry. This is an unavoidable thing. It doesn’t need to be fried, she is lazy now, and told Sibao the ratio of each kind, and asked Sibao to mix it every day, put it in the firewood room and lock it in a sack. This is easy to make and store. There are quite a few now.It is convenient to use in the future, but the Four Treasures are still recorded every day, so that you can remember how much you use, how much you remember, and how much you save...

Only the bottom material is not easy to get. Not only does it take a lot of effort to grind it out, but it is also a big problem to fry it and adjust the material. However, I am used to it when I meditate, and I can get it out before night every day, so that The guy from Fumanlou picked it up the next day...

However, I am still tired, Shen Sisi looks at the sky silently, and the cooking workshop has to be put on the agenda.

He Axiu had already prepared the lunch, they ate it first, and left some for Zhong Gensheng, Zhong Gensheng entered the door almost at the same time as Wang Butcher, he was relieved as soon as he entered the door, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I met him on the way to help, otherwise this There are so many pigs, I don't know when I will be able to get back..."

Zhong Gensheng had five pigs tied to his hands, all of which were considered big, so they had great strength. Zhong Gensheng was sweating all over his body, but with a smile on his face, he drove two pigs to the side courtyard to be killed by Butcher Wang, and the other three pigs were killed. Locked in a pigsty.

Butcher Wang is also happy, killing one is killing, and killing two is killing. In the future, he will earn more money, which is also a supplementary income, so Butcher Wang is naturally very happy.

Zhong Gensheng washed his face, started to gobble up the rice, and said: "...it seems that I have to buy a bullock cart quickly, and I will collect the pigs, tie them directly and throw them on the bullock cart to bring them back. Don't worry, I will Pulling them back like this, everyone is disobedient. It saves some time to have a bullock cart, and I can collect a few more pigs, so I can do other things. From now on, the family will kill two pigs every day, so I have to work harder. Otherwise, I won’t be too busy…”

He Axiu said: "It's true that the big cow is not necessarily willing to sell it if it's matured..."

After all, cattle are a big labor force for a family.Zhong Gensheng said helplessly: "Looks like I have to buy it at a high price... and only the ox cart is used. The donkey cart is too small and not strong enough to hold a few pigs..."

"That's true..." He Axiu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that Lao Gen is asking for you? If someone sells it, someone will tell you. Don't worry, overcome it first and then talk..."

"Cheng..." Zhong Gensheng continued to eat. He also ate less meat, and only ate the Chinese cabbage that he just bought today. Fresh vegetables are still very attractive for the Chinese New Year.

When Zhong Gensheng finished his meal, Shen Sisi whispered: "Father, I still want to buy a piece of land..."

Zhong Gensheng said: "Buy a field?!"

"No, it's wasteland..." Shen Sisi discussed with him in a low voice: "Our family is not short of this money now, and there is no need to waste time in the field. We should do something else. The land is enough, we will buy food for food in the future, and I will grow seasonings on the three acres of land, and I will use this a lot in the future, so just buying is not a solution, and we will grow some peppers..."

Zhong Gensheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Sure, the harvest of the three mu of land is average, so let's do what you say. At worst, I will water more in the future to make the seasoning grow better, and the family can save some money..."
