Qin Yao felt that Liu Ji's face was probably made of a city wall.
As soon as he heard that it was delicious, he squeezed over.
The main point is, I have no shame, so you can't condemn me with morality.
Six bowls of delicious wontons were served and the children's eyes widened.
A bowl costs eight cents and contains fifteen wontons with plenty of meat filling. Dalang and his three siblings think it tastes better than candied haws.
They think anything related to meat is the best.
Sanlang and Si Niang ate up such a big bowl of wontons.
Qin Yao took a look and realized that she would not be able to sleep at night, so she must have been holding it in.
Qin Yao didn't allow the two of them to drink the remaining soup and finished it in two big gulps.
Liu Ji was waiting to pick up the leftovers, but he didn't even get a single mouthful of soup. He was so depressed.
After lunch, Qin Yao asked Liu Ji to take the children back to the car first, and went to buy some New Year's goods alone.
Add some oil and sauce, and buy 20 kilograms of meat. When the time comes, make lard from the fat and freeze the lean meat outside and eat it slowly.
Qin Yao saw that some people were growing bean sprouts and selling them, so she decided to try it herself so that she could have an extra vegetable to eat in the winter.
He bought a piece of red paper, some incense, candles, two red lanterns, and a bag of fodder to feed the cows.
There was only nine taels and five cents of silver left in Qin Yao's pocket.
It hurts to think that I would spend six cents of silver for a trip into the city.
Everything in this ancient world is so expensive. If Qin Yao doesn't find a way to make money, she feels like she will run out of money.
Having an ox cart is convenient. It can carry people and goods. When Qin Yao returned the ox cart to the village chief's house, she touched the ox again and again, feeling greedy and wanting it.
Unfortunately, I can only look at it now because the money in my pocket does not allow it.
A family of six returned home with a full load. As soon as they entered the yard, the gloomy sky suddenly brightened.
It's snowing.
White snow particles fell down, and soon the ground was covered with a light layer of white, which made a rustling sound when walking on it.
A family of six huddled in the main room, warming themselves by the charcoal pot that had just been lit, and were thankful that they had returned at just the right time.
The snow is falling very fast.
Overnight, the earth was covered with a layer of white silver light.
The temperature dropped sharply and real winter arrived. To resist the severe cold, every household stayed indoors.
In order to save firewood, Qin Yao's family only cooked two meals a day. They cooked the lunch together in the morning and heated them on the charcoal stove at noon.
There was no condition to burn a charcoal stove in every room, so the whole family gathered in the main room after getting up.
Five people including father and son learned to read.
After doing 200 push-ups, Qin Yao started thinking about how to make money.
Qin Yao began to recall the online time-travel novels she had read when she was in school.
How do the heroines who travel through time make money?
The most common one is cooking delicious food.
Among them, pig offal appears frequently because of its low cost and the fact that it can be easily sold for a lot of money.
Qin Yao was also somewhat moved.
But reality gave her a hard slap in the face!
First, she couldn't buy the spices for making offal.
The spices here are extremely expensive. Star anise, Sichuan pepper and the like are not available for sale in the entire Kaiyang County.
Only officials and wealthy businessmen can afford it, and private transportation and logistics routes are still used.
Secondly, there are less than a thousand people in the villages within a dozen miles. The villages and towns are scattered, and the nearest town, Jinshi, is three hours away. There is no mature market at all.
Starting in a small mountain village, there is no way out.
One last point.
So funny!
No one in the village can afford to raise pigs, and there is no raw material at all!
Pig offal is also meat. The thrifty working people can even fry grasshoppers and leeches and serve them on the table, let alone mere pig offal?
"Give up the pig-in-water route!"
Qin Yao crossed out the option of getting rich by selling pig offal on the small board.
She continued to think about other delicacies.
Tofu seems like a good choice.
However, as the saying goes, there are three major sufferings in life.
Rowing, forging iron, and making tofu!
She didn't know if she could endure it.
Wait, she saw people growing bean sprouts in the county, so they wouldn’t be able to make tofu too, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Yao decided to test the children at home.
"Does anyone know what food can be made from soybeans?"
Qin Yao lifted Liu Ji from the teaching seat, sat on it herself, and asked with a smile.
Jiro actively answered: "I know!"
Qin Yao nodded encouragingly and motioned for him to speak.
Erlang said, "Soybeans can sprout, and they can also be made into tofu pudding and tofu. My aunt makes tofu and sells it in the winter, and people in the village exchange soybeans with her for New Year's Eve dishes."
Dalang added: "It's hot pot. Tofu and meat are very delicious when stewed in hot pot."
He had eaten it twice when his mother was still alive, and he still remembers the fragrance.
Qin Yao rubbed her throbbing eyebrows. Not only was the tofu road blocked, but there was even hot pot here.
Moreover, people in the village mostly engage in bartering, and it is normal to exchange soybeans that are more than raw materials for tofu.
If you think about it carefully, it would be better for her to continue making straw sandals.
Dalang and Erlang looked at their stepmother anxiously. Didn't they answer correctly? Why did the stepmother look so dissatisfied?
Qin Yao forced a smile and gave the two of them a thumbs up. "Congratulations, you got the answer right, but you only get the spirit award."
The two brothers looked forward to asking, “What is the Spirit Award?”
Qin Yao gave a thumbs up again, "This is it, it's great."
The two brothers stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether they should laugh or not; however, it was difficult to laugh.
Qin Yao waved at Liu Ji, "You continue."
Liu Ji took a deep breath to avoid getting angry to death. The class was going well, but she had to come and disrupt it!
