As winter passes and spring comes, the weather gradually becomes warmer, all things grow, and everything is moving in a good direction.
Xie Yunjiao is immersed in making money all day long and never gets tired of it.
She wanted to earn more money and settle down in town, so that she wouldn't have to deal with those old Gu family who ate meat without spitting out bones all day long!
That day, she and Gu Huai had just set out from the town to the village when they saw from afar a man walking slowly on the road with a hunched back, as if he could be blown down by the wind.
Gu Huai thought the man looked familiar, so he hurried over to take a look, and he really knew him!
"Jin Hai? What happened to you? Are you injured?" Gu Huai asked.
When Zhou Jinhai saw Gu Huai, he wanted to straighten his back and pretend that nothing was wrong, but his back was so painful that he couldn't straighten it at all.
"You went to the dock to move goods." Gu Huai said.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, Gu Huai was very confident.
Zhou Jinhai did not hide it, after all, it was a fact that he went to work at the dock.
"You go hunting in the mountains and raise geese. The money you earn should be enough. Why do you have to work so hard and exhaust yourself?" Gu Huai said.
Although Zhou Jinhai was not as strong as him, he was also a strong man and could get a lot by hunting in the mountains.
It shouldn't be like this.
Zhou Jinhai sighed and said that his family was short of money when he was arrested, so he pawned his wife's dowry. As a result, the dowry was taken away by those bad guys, and he was almost arrested.
Fortunately, he was rescued by Gu Huai, and his wife Xiaoyu was not angry with him. She said that it was just a loss of money to ward off disaster.
But the family had no money left, and they even ate the rice they had prepared for spring planting.
It’s almost spring planting time now, and life is getting tight.
If they don't make more money quickly, their family will have less income after the spring planting season.
Moreover, the money I spent on my son’s medical treatment and medicine has not been repaid, and the creditors have come to collect the debt.
What a mess.
Zhou Jinhai couldn't help but sigh: "Poor people can't afford to get sick!"
Not only can you not afford to get sick, being sick is also a sin!
How many people have died because they had no money to treat their illnesses!
Relying solely on hunting and farming, dealing with heavy taxes and taking care of his family, the money he earned was naturally not enough.
He is not the only one in the village. There are many people who live a worse life than him.
No one can find a better way to make money. They have been farming for generations, and they can only continue to follow the path of their predecessors. There is no other way out.
Xie Yunjiao knew that it was impossible to change this situation on her own.
It's good enough that she can live her own life well.
However, it is not the time for spring planting yet and the weather is not very good. Everyone has free time and likes to sit at the door to cut bamboo strips and make bamboo baskets and other bamboo products.
These bamboo products are of good quality and durable, they are really good.
But what they make are just ordinary bamboo products, which are available in large quantities outside, but they cannot be resold at a high price.
Zhou Jinhai's father is very old, but he still insists on cutting bamboo strips and making bamboo products every day, just to earn more money so that the family can have less financial difficulties.
"Don't you usually go hunting? Why not cook the prey you catch into cooked food and sell it? This way you can make more money." Xie Yunjiao said.
She didn't seem to see anyone selling these on the street. If Zhou Jinhai were to sell these, business would probably be good.
"Cooked food? Cook it directly? Although it can be preserved longer this way, the taste will not be very good, right? Some prey has a strong smell, and no one will buy it if it is just cooked." Zhou Jinhai felt that Xie Yunjiao came up with this idea for his own good, but it was not a good idea.
"What I mean is to make these foods into braised dishes and then sell them," said Xie Yunjiao.
Gu Huai had tasted the braised food made by Xie Yunjiao, and it tasted really good.
But Zhou Jinhai had never eaten it before, so he was still confused.
Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to ask Gu Huai to go to the mountain to retrieve the prey that Zhou Jinhai caught this morning, and then the two of them went to Zhou Jinhai's house to teach Zhou Jinhai how to make braised food.
"My dear, sometimes I also smell this kind of meat aroma, which makes the meat in my own bowl no longer fragrant. It turns out that it is the braised food made by you." Zhou Jinhai said.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Xie Yunjiao didn't believe it. Their home was not close to here, about ten houses away.
"Really? Our whole family smelled it, and it made us drool." Xiaoyu said, "Xiaobao even pestered us to eat this delicious meat, but the problem is that we have the meat but don't know how to cook it.
Now that I’ve learned how to cook, I can finally let my little one enjoy a delicious meal.”
"Now that you have learned how to make it, you can make it yourself and sell it. Put it on a cart and drive around shouting. It smells so good that it will surely attract a lot of people along the way," said Xie Yunjiao.
"Sister-in-law, this is your unique secret recipe. We are very grateful that you taught us to cook it ourselves. How can I sell your recipe?" Although Zhou Jinhai was also tempted, he felt that people should not be so ungrateful.
"I'm not giving it to you for free. If you earn one or two taels of silver every day, you have to give me ten cents. This is called getting something for nothing." Xie Yunjiao said.
She knew that if she gave it to them for free, they would definitely not take it, so she came up with this method.
Zhou Jinhai and Xiaoyu felt that ten cents was too little, so they took the initiative to increase the amount from ten cents to one hundred cents.
Xie Yunjiao refused to accept it, saying that she had many ways to make money.
But Zhou Jinhai and his wife said that if she refused to accept it, they would not do it.
Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to agree.
Xie Yunjiao also performed cupping on Zhou Jinhai to suck out the blood clots on his waist, and then picked some herbs to apply to Zhou Jinhai's waist.
