On the way back, Erzhu felt as if he had been stung by some kind of insect.

My neck is a little itchy.

*Splat*

Take a slap with your hand.

Erzhu asked in confusion, "Where did these locusts come from?"

Then he left it in the carriage.

Stomp down hard.

The yellowish-green liquid exploded.

Chen Xian frowned, a hint of unease creeping over him.

On the way back.

Old Man Li asked in confusion, "Dad Dazhu, why are you buying so many red berries?"

Chen Xian: "Okay, let's cook."

More than an hour later, they returned to the village.

A large group of young women and wives gathered under the banyan tree.

Da Cheng's mother: "Da Zhu's father, did you just get back from the market? Why are you so late?"

Chunxiuniang: "Oh my, your business must be doing well. You bought such a big pile of wild fruits."

Apart from Erzhu, who remained calm, everyone else in the car was also calm.

The Su sisters looked flustered and remained silent with their heads down.

The villagers didn't take it seriously.

After all, they all knew that the second son of the Chen family was aloof and taciturn.

You get used to it over time.

Chen Xian looked miserable. "Business is tough. There are too many people setting up stalls along the city wall. I've only sold a few bowls all morning."

"I plan to do less tomorrow."

Hearing Chen Xian's words, Da Cheng's mother comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, Da Zhu's father. My husband told me that doing business requires patience. Things will get better after a while."

In the village, his family was the first to try it.

Back then, his family was the first to set up a fish stall in town.

However, the river south of Qingxia Village later experienced a drop in water level due to drought.

The more fish are caught, the fewer there are in the river.

Da Cheng's father had no intention of continuing to work as a fisherman.

Chunxiu's mother comforted him with a kind look: "Erzhu, quickly persuade your father. It would be better for him to go to town to carry heavy loads. He can earn at least twenty or thirty coins a day. Although it's tiring, the money in his hand is real."

Erzhu looked at him calmly without saying a word.

The old lady dog ​​made a fool of herself.

Old Man Li, who was watching from the sidelines, chuckled softly.

You believe everything people say.

He clearly saw when he arrived that Da Zhu's father had brought at least ten kilograms of noodles from home.

They were sold out completely on the way back.

He earns at least a hundred coins a day.

This is no faster than carrying heavy bags of money in town.

This is just the money they earned on their first day setting up their stall.

Although an unexpected incident occurred later.

They insist on using the money they earn to buy red berries.

Old Man Li couldn't quite understand it.

But look at Chen Xian's rather confident gaze.

That's when I realized that they had come up with a new way to do business.

Looking down at the chattering women, Old Man Li felt that he was at the very top of the social hierarchy.

Only he himself saw through Chen Xian's final move.

He chuckled and flicked the whip.

The oxcart swayed and rattled its way home.

Da Cheng's mother said, "Da Zhu's family is probably having a hard time. His two wives don't talk much either."

Chunxiuniang: "Yes, they didn't even say hello. It costs two coins per person to go to town, which is enough to buy an egg. I don't know what Dazhu's father was thinking."

Da Cheng's mother said, "It's all because he's so handsome that he's probably already completely bewitched by Da Zhu's father."

After arriving home, Cuihua had already started cooking.

Dazhu was busy chopping firewood.

The two daughters are helping to start the fire.

"Father, you're back."

Dazhu looked at Chen Xian carrying a large bag.

He asked in confusion, "Dad, what are you buying, and why are you buying so much of it?"

I took it and looked at it.

Red chili pepper?

Chen Xian explained with a smile, "Red chili peppers may seem like small things, but these red chili peppers may represent a big step forward for our Chen family's cold noodle business."

Although he said he didn't understand, he scratched his head and put his hands together in support.

Before eating.

I went back inside and counted how much money I had left.

Then, a brief meeting was held with the Chen family.

"Today, the family earned a total of 135 coins. We bought red peppers, and with our savings, we now have 60 coins left."

Dazhu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Dad, the liangpi (cold skin noodles) business is really doing well!"

Erzhu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Does Father mean that we should use the fragrant leaves we have and the remaining sixty coins to do some other business?"

Chen Xian was somewhat surprised.

Erzhuzi is really clever.

"Yes, the wheat harvest is coming soon. Our family probably won't have time to set up a stall in town, so we can only take advantage of the remaining time to earn as much money as possible and get our first pot of gold..."

Chen Xian kept the words he kept in his heart to himself.

A large population means a lot of food.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation, and even spiritual development, such as reading, all require a lot of money.

And everyone's physical condition.

In that backward ancient era, once someone fell ill, the cost of both medical consultations and medicine was simply unaffordable for ordinary families.

The only way is to obtain a large sum of money as soon as possible to provide everyone with the ability to combat the risk of illness.

He absolutely would not allow the Chen family to die because of a minor cold and the inability to afford medicine.

Su Shuangshuang glanced at the bag of fragrant leaves and asked in confusion, "Could it be that you're planning to sell some food with these?"

Chen Xian nodded with a smile.

She looked at her older sister with a smug expression, as if to say, "Don't let my quiet demeanor fool you, I'm actually quite smart."

Su Liniang smiled and rubbed her head.

Chen Xian didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"We're going to make tea eggs."
