"Now you know how to cook these two ingredients. They are very delicious and go well with rice, right?"
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
Xiao Lingyu continued to coax him, "If you were asked to take chili peppers and tell the villagers that chili peppers are delicious, how would you convince them that chili peppers are delicious?"
Su Ningjie blurted out, "I'll stir-fry a dish with chili peppers and let the villagers taste it themselves. Once they try it, they will definitely like it."
Xiao Lingyu patted Su Ningjie's little head and said, "Yes, it's that simple. Let them taste it themselves. However, it will be more difficult to go to the county. Are you afraid?"
Su Ningjie vowed, "Mom, I'm not afraid. I will definitely be able to sell these two ingredients."
"Okay, mother believes you."
Xiao Lingyu took Su Ningjie back to the front yard, and together with the eldest and second Su brothers, they sent Su Xingyi into the room and made him lie down.
"Children, take a nap for half an incense stick. After that, I will teach you how to read and write, and I will also test you on the eight new characters you learned yesterday."
Except for Su Ningwen, the other three kids were so frightened when they heard this that they had no time to take a nap and ran to the main room to review the eight new characters they had learned.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Mother will also test me on the sixteen characters I learned the other day."
Three little ones:!!!
While the children were studying, Xiao Lingyu thought carefully about how to price these two ingredients.
It should be neither too cheap nor too expensive. In later generations, chili peppers can sometimes be sold for dozens of yuan per catty, while green peppers and tomatoes are relatively cheaper.
Now in Beiyi, she is the only one who has these two ingredients. She can’t sell them for just a few dozen coins. She’ll have to sell them for at least several taels of silver, right?
It's rare after all.
This is not a one-time sale, so it can't be sold too expensively.
Xiao Lingyu determined the prices of the two ingredients based on the national conditions of Beiyi and the consumption levels of wealthy families.
Millet peppers and dried chili peppers are 20 taels per catty, green peppers are 15 taels per catty, and tomatoes are 10 taels per catty, which is neither expensive nor cheap.
"Children, the time has come. Mother is here to test you. Who will go first?"
Su Ningwen was the first to raise his hand but quickly put it down. Before his mother could teach him anything new, he already knew the Thousand Character Classic.
Xiao Lingyu learned from yesterday's lesson, and whenever he raised his hand first, he would be tested last.
It takes too long to test him once.
"Third child, you've already memorized the entire Thousand Character Classic. Today, I'll take some time to explain the entire text to you. Once you understand it, I'll read it through again. (Three Character Classic) (Disciple Rules) (Cai Gen Tan). Are you willing to learn?"
Su Ningwen showed his little fangs, smiled and nodded, which was exactly what he wanted.
He doesn't know why he likes reading, but he is happy when reading.
Xiao Xier frowned when she heard this and thought, if mother teaches third brother to read and write alone, won’t third brother monopolize mother for a long time?
My third brother studies very quickly, and mother may like him more and more.
no!
We can't let this happen!
She wants to learn from him!
Little Xier pouted her lips, blinked her soft eyelashes and said obediently, "Mom, I want to read and learn as much as my third brother."
Xiao Lingyu thought that if Xiao Xier had not met her, she might not have had the opportunity to read and write.
In Beiyi, except for the daughters of wealthy families or those with enlightened elders at home, most women have no chance to read and write.
"Xiao Xi'er, since you are willing to learn, mother will teach you more. Then mother will test you first."
Half an hour later, the children ran out of the main room happily.
Xiao Lingyu returned to his room and made three eye masks using scraps of fabric and absorbent cotton from the base. He then grabbed some herbs from the institute's medicine warehouse, put them into a steam generator and boiled them, setting the timer to a quarter of an hour.
A quarter of an hour later, he stuffed the three eye masks into the medicine and soaked them, then returned to the room and made a handkerchief for each child. Toilet paper had not been made yet, so they still had to use handkerchiefs to wipe their mouths.
After making the handkerchiefs, I made dust masks for the children. In ancient times, the roads were all dirt roads. The last time I went into the city, fortunately there was no wind and no other ox carts on the road, otherwise we would have been covered in dust and it would not have been beautiful.
It would be nice if there were a smooth cement road, so we could make cement and build roads.
Xiao Lingyu was happy for a short while before calming down again.
In ancient times, using cement to build roads was not feasible!
Not to mention the high cost, the means of transportation in ancient times were either ox carts or horse carts.
It is very dangerous for horses to fall down easily when they gallop on the cement road.
The racecourses of equestrian clubs in later generations are all made of grass or sand. If it really worked, the racecourses would be built with cement roads, not to mention the 100-mile express.
Now that she has come to this world, she should adapt to the local customs.
There is no point in being pretentious, and you can't go back to your original world.
Why not just wrap yourself up with a mask, veil or cloak to block out the dust?
Xiao Lingyu looked around the room and wondered how he was going to get through the winter.
The original owner placed more than a dozen hot water bottles in the quilt in the house during the winter, and the charcoal basin was kept hot enough. With maids and servants serving him, he didn't have to worry about being cold.
Xiao Lingyu stood up and carefully rummaged through the large bamboo cabinet. Inside was a large quilt, a large mattress, and two sets of thick clothes, one large and one small.
Xiao Lingyu went to the west room where miscellaneous items were stored and took a look. There were three charcoal braziers.
It seems that the winter here is similar to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River in later generations. The people here are probably more resistant to cold and have to endure the winter.
But she is afraid of the cold!
Xiao Lingyu wanted the kind of floor heating that would allow him to wear summer clothes in his room in winter and still sweat.
what to do?
Do you want to rebuild the house and put up a northern-style kang?
