Chapter 45 A Safe Way
In an instant, Su Xueyi coughed.
“Ahem…”
Su Xueyi's coughing sounded as if it was about to cough out her heart and lungs.
“Ahem…”
Such a cough is scary, violent and violent.
Su Erya was so frightened that her hands trembled, "Uncle San, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xueyi waved her hands and wanted to say something, but now she could only cough and couldn't speak at all.
Shen Yueyao felt a little guilty when she saw him like this.
She took out a silver needle and pricked Su Xueyi's body a few times, and Su Xueyi's coughing became less severe.
Shen Yueyao filled the gourd with some spiritual spring water and asked Su Xueyi to drink it.
After drinking it, Su Xueyi felt much better.
He blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, you're just spicy."
"I was negligent."
Su Xueyi said: "It's my body's problem."
Seeing his body like this, Su Xueyi's heart sank.
I thought I could help, but ended up making them worry.
…
Shen Yueyao didn't dare ask Su Xueyi to help her taste it. She took a few bites herself and thought it tasted good.
Next, Shen Yueyao made some gourd jars.
Making a gourd jar is easy.
Use the kind of waistless gourd, small gourd jar and large gourd jar as containers.
There was no glass in this era, so this was the only thing we could do.
In fact, if you have bamboo, you can also make it into a bamboo tube shape.
But she didn't find any bamboo, so she had to use a gourd.
If you use clay pots, they are easy to break and expensive.
This saves money.
You can make a lot of money by selling these.
One pound of meat and chili peppers made sixteen pounds of chili meat sauce.
One pound of chili meat sauce can fill four small gourd jars and two large gourd jars.
Shen Yueyao filled forty small gourd jars and eight large gourd jars.
I didn't expect that they could hold so much at once. Even if I sold a small jar for five cents, I could still make a lot of money.
You should know that a pound of meat costs only a dozen cents.
However, the seasonings and purchased soybean paste and noodle sauce are more expensive.
But the cost is nothing compared to packing so much chili con carne.
If we can open up the market, we can make a lot of money from chili meat sauce alone.
Thinking of this, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but feel hot in her heart.
The key is that this is easy to do, you can make it in advance and sell it the next day.
Unlike food, you have to get up early in the morning to make it.
If you have a stove, you can make and sell at the same time.
Without the support of space, what you make in the morning will be cold by the time you get to town.
Su Erya was so excited, "Aunt San, I didn't expect you could hold so much."
"Yes, if it sells well, we can start a chili con carne business in the future. We can find some time to grow some chilies in the yard for future use."
Su Erya nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
She now knows that this pepper is a good thing.
Shen Yueyao took a can and asked Su Erya to give it to Old Madam Meng so that she could eat it with her meals on weekdays.
The pepper is not very spicy and is within an acceptable range.
"Aunt San, we have so many, can we sell them all tomorrow?"
Su Erya was still a little worried.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't worry, this thing is easy to store, not to mention that the weather is cold now, so it won't go bad if it is stored for a long time."
"Also, do you know how much bean paste noodle sauce costs in town?"
Su Erya said, "I remember it used to be twenty coins for a small bottle."
Shen Yueyao said: "Yes, ours costs five cents for a small bottle. The bean paste noodle sauce tastes a bit worse when eaten directly, but ours can be eaten directly."
"Yes, everyone will definitely buy it once they've tried it. It's so cheap, and you can eat it with bread or steamed buns."
Su Erya suddenly gained confidence.
Shen Yueyao even thought about whether she could cooperate with the restaurant.
But she also knew that those who opened restaurants were all powerful and might not be interested in this chili meat sauce.
Also, if they knew that the chili meat sauce was so good and that they could make so much money per pound, they might try to get the secret recipe from her.
She didn't really care about this secret recipe, as she could make all kinds of delicious food anyway.
But making chili con carne is the easiest and quickest way to make money right now.
Now that her family has no backing, Shen Yueyao naturally doesn't dare to act rashly.
So it’s safer to set up a stall and sell chili meat sauce.
The town has a large population, and if the goods sell well, you can ask a peddler to sell them on your behalf.
She knew that there were peddlers carrying goods on their shoulders and selling them on the streets of villages or towns.
It is convenient for everyone to buy things at their doorstep.
However, we must first open up sales channels and markets before we can better negotiate business.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yueyao asked, "By the way, Erya, do you know if there is a market near our village?"
Anyway, there is no market in Liuhe Village.
But logically, some villages should have markets.
Chen Yueyao said, "There's a market in Beimai Village every fifth and tenth day of the lunar month. Beimai Village is about four miles away from our village if you take a shortcut. It's a big village, a wheat-growing village, and it has a wheat field. During the harvest season, some grain collectors will also collect grain in Beimai Village. People from nearby villages will bring their harvested grain there to sell and earn some copper coins to supplement their family income."
"Why don't you sell it at the grain store in town?"
Shen Yueyao remembered that there was a grain store in the town.
Su Erya said, "The grain store keeps the price low, which is not cost-effective. The price is slightly better when merchants outside come to buy it."
I see!
It seems that we can go to the village market on the fifth or tenth day of the New Year.
We should not underestimate the consumption capacity of the lower-class villagers.
As long as everyone is willing to buy chili meat sauce, the more people come, the more it sells, and the more money you make.
Shen Yueyao planned to go to town early the next morning to sell the chili meat sauce.
Su Erya felt sorry for Shen Yueyao and said, "Aunt, tomorrow morning, I'll go to the town with you. I also want to see and learn how to do business."
Shen Yueyao didn't want to bring Su Erya with her, mainly because setting up a stall in town was actually hard work, and Su Erya was still young, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt.
However, since Su Erya wants to learn how to do business, it would be better to let her take a closer look.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yueyao said, "Okay, let's go to town together tomorrow morning."
"good."
In the evening, Shen Yueyao cooked as usual.
It’s just made for Su Xueyi, Dabao and Erbao.
She ate the chili meat sauce with steamed buns and found it delicious.
Much better than eating vegetables.
While eating, Shen Yueyao thought of enema again.
Yes, pork sausage.
In the technological age, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, many people will make some sausages and store them for consumption.
If you want to do enema, it may taste good but the cost is high.
It takes a lot of pork to fill that much sausage.
For ordinary people, it is too expensive and not worth it.
There must be many people who are reluctant to buy it.
So this thing can indeed be made, but it can only be made for family consumption.
Not available for sale yet.
Seeing Shen Yueyao eating so happily, Su Xueyi, Dabao and Erbao also wanted to eat it.
Shen Yueyao looked at their expressions and felt like she was eating alone.
She explained, "This is chili pepper. My husband, you're not in good health, so you can't eat it. You can only eat a little bit. Dabao and Erbao, you're still young. Tomorrow, I'll make you some meat sauce without chili peppers."
Today was an oversight.
I thought the whole family could eat it.
But when Su Xueyi coughed once, she realized that she couldn't let them eat it.
Chili meat sauce goes well with rice, and Shen Yueyao ate two steamed buns in one go.
But I only ate a little bit of the chili con carne.
Because sometimes one mouthful of chili meat sauce can make you eat two or three mouthfuls of steamed buns.
Eating this way is actually very economical.
If possible, Shen Yueyao could eat another steamed bun.
But if she wants to lose weight, she still needs to control herself.
After washing up in the evening, Shen Yueyao no longer had to knead the dough, which was a lot easier.
After taking a shower, she sat at the table and thought about business.
Su Xueyi was copying books by the oil lamp.
In the past, Su Xueyi was not used to having someone around her.
If she hadn't tried so many methods before, including crying, making a fuss, and even threatening him with Dabao and Erbao, they wouldn't be living in the same room.
But even though they were in the same room, Su Xueyi never laid a finger on her.
He thought he was also aloof.
But it was different this time. She was sitting next to him, and even without saying anything, he felt an indescribable feeling.
His heart softened.
