Chapter 196 The God of Wealth Descends from Heaven

The empty house was filled with miscellaneous items.

"It's pretty good!" Su Ying felt that it was much better than the dilapidated house she had in Huanggou Village.

"Let me clean up first." Niu Er's wife picked up the broom and cleaned up.

I didn't expect someone would live here, and I haven't cleaned the place for a while, so I still have to put away the clutter.

"There is no bed, so we can only sleep on the floor with straw." Niu Er was very sorry.

"It's okay. It's good to have a place to stay." Su Ying took out fifty coins and said, "Sister, this is the rent."

"Oh, this place is dirty. It's good that you don't mind, but why are you charging money?" Niu Er's wife refused.

"Sister, take it! We have several houses, how can we live in your house for free?" Su Ying stuffed the money into Niu Er's wife.

"My dear!" Niu Er's wife looked at her husband in confusion.

In the eyes of the poor, they would rather break a penny into two halves to spend. Niu Er's wife would definitely value the fifty cents, but she would feel guilty to take the money and let someone live in such a shabby place.

"Take it!" Niu Er knew that if he didn't accept it, it would be difficult for other brothers.

"Thank you, my lady!" Niu Er's wife accepted it and put it away carefully.

She said considerately, "My dear, find some stones to pad the ground, put these boards on top, and then cover them with straw. It will be much warmer."

"Thank you, sister!" Su Ying thanked her.

"Oh, you have such a sweet mouth, girl. I'm already a mother, but you still call me sister!" Niu Er's wife smiled even more.

Several people worked together and quickly cleaned up and decorated the two rooms.

"Just live here for now. Call me if you don't like anything!" Niu Er's wife said with satisfaction as she looked at the newly renovated room.

Su Laosan pulled the ox cart under the eaves and tied the ox in the corner of the yard.

"Wow, you guys are really good at frying dough sticks! What a big pot!" Niu Er's wife was amazed.

How much money would this cost? Not everyone can afford ox carts and big iron pots.

"Sister, do you have a stone mill at home?" Su Ying then noticed a large stone mill under the eaves, which was blocked by miscellaneous items.

"Yes, I seldom use it a few times a year. It's an old item in our family that has been passed down for three generations. It's a pity to throw it away, and it takes up space if I keep it." Niu Er's wife said self-deprecatingly.

It is not easy for a poor person to buy a household item, and the stone mill is of little use to his family.

"What a coincidence! I just need soy milk here! Why don't you ask my sister to sell soy milk next to my stall every day? Soy milk with fried dough sticks is the most delicious." Su Ying had a new idea.

Originally, I was thinking of buying beans and grinding them myself, but now Su Ying changed her mind and decided to cooperate.

I just fry the dough sticks and give up the soy milk. This way I can relax and others can make some money too.

"Is this possible?" Niu Er's wife was confused. Who would be willing to have others interfere in their business?

"Why not? We can only work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and then go back. You can sell soy milk first, and then you can sell soy milk and fried dough sticks together." Su Ying said generously.

"We...fry dough sticks?" Niu Er's wife suspected that Su Ying was crazy. How could she just push money away?

"Sister, don't doubt it, it's true! You can sell soy milk for the next few days and watch me fry dough sticks. You can set up your own stall in the future."

"Girl, this is a money-making business, are you willing to do it?" Niu Er's wife didn't believe it.

The fried dough sticks that Niu Er brought back were so delicious that she was craving them.

"We went shopping during the New Year holiday and did some small business. Frying dough sticks is not that difficult. Whether you are taught or not, people in the industry can figure it out after just a few glances.

It won't be long before a lot of them pop up in the city, but this stall can easily support a family," Su Ying said frankly.

"Well, thank you, my lady!" Niu Er's wife was so happy that she was at a loss what to do. This was truly the God of Wealth sent from heaven.

He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go buy some beans to soak."

"Captain Niu, you should go make an iron wok in the next two days." Su Ying reminded Niu Er to prepare early.

"Making an iron pot?" Niu Er thought for a moment and shook his head. "Too expensive, not worth it!"

With fried dough sticks everywhere on the streets, people soon get tired of them. An iron pot is used to store all the family's wealth, and it has no other use, just like a stone mill.

"Iron pans are very useful! There are so many things you can fry in a pan, not just fried dough sticks. When the streets are full of fried dough sticks, why don't you fry other foods?

"Don't underestimate this humble business. It's a way to make money quietly, and it's no less than your monthly salary!" Su Ying whispered.

Everything can be put into the frying pan, meat or vegetables, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, crispy and crunchy, and fragrant!

"Really?" Niu Er was very excited.

People from Chang'an really have different brains. They can see far and think a lot. They deserve to be rich!

"Does it make fun of me lying to you?" Su Ying raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Don’t underestimate the inconspicuous roadside stalls. Although they are not very decent and it is hard work, they really make money.

"I, I made an iron pot, but I have no money to buy other household items." Niu Er was a little embarrassed.

"Don't you have a few brothers? You can borrow money from us or form a partnership." Su Ying didn't think it was a big deal.

In a small business, if you borrow money, you should pay it back with a little interest to prevent the person helping you from suffering a loss and to preserve the reputation of both parties.

Partnership is also good. In the initial stage, we can share the risks and financial pressure. We can talk about the future later. Let’s seize the opportunity to make some money first.

Su Ying did not quite agree with the argument that joint business was not allowed.

If you have no money, no experience, and don’t find a partner, are you going to jump into the pit with your eyes closed?

As a human being, there will be conflicts, and this is not limited to business.

There will be many conflicts in a partnership business, but it is not Su Ying's character to just lie down and continue to be poor because of the conflicts that may arise later.

"Haha, the girl is really smart!" Niu Er suddenly realized, "I'll discuss this with my brothers right away. Girl, can they sell this soy milk too?"

Niu Er meant to sell the products alongside several other stalls.

"Of course you can. With soy milk, fried dough sticks will sell faster. It's best to add sugar to the soy milk, but it's okay if you don't add salt."

Sugar was added to soy milk. At that time, probably only a few nobles had drunk it, while the poor drank white or salty soy milk.

"Add sugar?" Niu Er was shocked. "That's a precious thing. Wouldn't it be a loss to put it in soy milk?"

"Sweet soy milk sells for two cents, and white and salty ones sell for one cent, isn't that enough?" Su Ying laughed.

"Oh, yes, look at me, I'm such a dumb person, I don't understand anything!"

After the deal was settled, Niu Er hurried to his brothers' homes to discuss the matter, while Su Ying and Su Lao San went to the stall to meet up with their families.

It is now the hour of Wei. From the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the city gates are closed for extended periods of time. The streets are bustling with people and stalls lined on both sides.

Su Laosan led the way in front, and Su Ying followed behind. When they finally arrived at the stall, it had already been occupied by someone else selling small gadgets.

"Sister, sister! Look, a windmill!" Xiao Tao saw Su Ying and hurriedly raised the colorful windmill in her hand.

A gust of wind was brought about, and the windmill slowly turned a few circles.

Atang also had one, but in a different color, while Su Zhaoyan and Su Bangyan were holding colorful dough figurines in their hands.

Everyone was excited, but also very careful, fearing that they would be damaged by passers-by.

Su Lu stood quietly beside Wei, with nothing in her hands.

"Alu, where's yours?" Su Ying was curious.

"I don't like it. It's for children to play with." Su Lu smiled. She couldn't bear to give it up at ten cents each.

Su Ying touched her cousin's head. She thought too much about others and was always easily overlooked.
