Chapter 54: A good wife who can make money!
…
Mrs. Zhou finished arranging the work.
Everyone agreed in unison.
In the Zhou family, it is no exaggeration to say that Mrs. Zhou is the backbone.
Soon, Lin Shiqi and the others finished their work in the kitchen.
Two pounds of meat was mixed into leeks and pork, as well as cabbage and pork, and was used to make more than thirty large buns.
Fortunately, Lao Zhou’s steamer has two layers and a large capacity.
Even though it has two layers, it has to be steamed in two times.
As soon as the buns come out of the steamer, the whole place is filled with fragrance.
She and Liu carried the buns into the house, "Mom, the buns are steamed, and I fried two plates of bean sprouts..."
Everyone was stunned.
The little ones couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! So many meat buns! Grandma! Is it Chinese New Year today?"
"I was hoping to be satisfied with just one bite. There are so many, everyone should be able to get one."
"Grandma, I will work hard and give me a big one!"
…
The impatient person has already reached into the steamer to take the buns.
It was opened with a chopstick by Mrs. Zhou.
"Old Third, you don't know the rules, do you still want to be punished?"
Zhou Laosan immediately shrank back with his head down.
Mrs. Zhou said, "Today's meat buns were made with the money that the fourth daughter-in-law earned from selling bean sprouts. You ate her meat buns, so if you don't work hard, you're guilty! Do you understand?"
"Got it, Mom!"
"We must help Fourth Aunt with her work!"
…
Only then did Mrs. Zhou start to distribute the buns with a smile.
It is true that Zhou’s family hasn’t eaten big meat buns for a long time. Except during the Chinese New Year, how can they have such a treat on other days?
Everyone held the buns in their hands, feeling like they were dreaming.
Take another bite and it’s so delicious that you want to bite off your tongue.
In particular, the two little girls, Daya and Erya from the second room, couldn't help shedding tears of happiness while eating.
Wiping tears, smiling, and eating in small bites...
I’m afraid that if I eat it too fast, it will be gone before I can savor it enough.
Over there, Mrs. Zhou said, "Today, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, everyone will have two buns. Eat as much as you want. After you are full, just work hard for your fourth aunt."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, everyone cheered, "Okay, grandma."
A big meat bun is the size of a palm and is quite a large portion. A smaller child can be full with just one meat bun.
Two are enough to fill you up.
Even Wang couldn't help but say sourly, "It's not easy for Fourth Sister-in-law to earn a few dozen coins. After so many days of hard work, she bought all the meat at once! That's quite generous. Thank you Fourth Sister-in-law..."
Lin Shiqi smiled, "It's not easy, but what's the purpose of making money? It's for the whole family to have enough food and live a good life together! It's worth it if we don't waste it."
"Good! Well said!"
Even Old Man Zhou couldn't help but praise him out loud.
He likes this kind of harmonious atmosphere among the whole family.
At this time, the Zhou family was truly more harmonious than ever before.
Zhou Lang concentrated on eating his meat buns. The leeks tasted good, and the cabbage tasted good too.
In ancient times, all ingredients were grown naturally without pesticides, so they were delicious.
In modern times, he never eats pork because he thinks it is too fishy. But here, he can't smell any fishy smell at all. It's really delicious.
Well, pork stewed with radish soup is also delicious.
Stir-fried bean sprouts are sweet.
When food is so precious, the deliciousness index can be doubled...
The next day, Lin Shiqi went to sell bean sprouts with Liu again.
Business is good.
I took out thirty or forty kilograms, but they were all sold out in a short while.
The next day, she didn't stir-fry the bean sprouts and offered free samples. Repeat customers bought them all.
Forty jin, still sold at three wen per jin, sold for one hundred and twenty wen.
Logically, she only needed to pay 50%, but she paid 60% to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Praise her again and again.
Lin Shiqi went to the utility room and saw that many stone troughs had been placed inside in just one day.
It seems that the mobilization meeting went well and the Zhou family was very efficient.
Lin Shiqi started soaking bean sprouts on a large scale.
She couldn't handle it all by herself, so she asked Liu to help her.
Now that the weather is getting colder, the bean sprouts are growing slowly, so Lin Shiqi moved a brazier into the utility room to raise the temperature quickly.
Meanwhile, bean sprouts have been soaking on the terrace at her home.
I go in with Zhou Lang every night. Zhou Lang hates the toilet in old Zhou's house. It's a squat toilet. Every time you take a dump, it stinks when you come out.
So, now Zhou Lang waits until night every day to enter the Concentric Lock Space and go to Lin Shiqi's house to wash and go to the toilet in the bathroom.
After washing up, he would read a book in the study room he rented, take a rest, or go to the terrace to watch Lin Shiqi busy at work.
Lin Shiqi soaks bean sprouts on the terrace and also grows some common fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers.
If you are lucky, you may be able to find a red tomato and try one.
After Lin Shiqi finished his work and took a shower, the two returned to Lao Zhou's house to rest.
"Lin Shiqi, have you noticed that the temperature in our Heart Lock Space has not changed at all, and it is like spring all year round?" Zhou Lang said.
This reminded Lin Shiqi.
"Yes, it seems so."
When I first entered, it was warm, and it is still warm now.
The temperature is just over 20 degrees, which is very suitable. Every time I come home, I feel like I am bathed in spring breeze and it is very comfortable.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the temperature will remain the same and will not change. The temperature here is suitable and crops will grow very fast."
Lin Shiqi nodded.
you do not say.
Bean sprouts also grow fast.
At Lao Zhou's house, even if they lit a brazier to increase the temperature, it would take five, six or seven days to get going.
It grew in four or five days on her terrace.
More than half of the bean sprouts she sells every day are grown on her terrace.
"Dog Zhou Lang, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhou Lang sighed, "It's hard to say. If it continues to remain unchanged, it means that the concentric lock space has affected your home, isolating you from the world and making it impossible to contact the outside world. This means that our way home has been cut off."
"What if there are changes? Maybe we can go back?" Lin Shiqi suddenly felt hopeful.
Zhou Lang replied, "That depends on what kind of changes they are. I can't be sure."
Both of them are in the exploratory stage now and cannot rush things.
Anyway, things are moving in a good direction now, so we can take it one step at a time.
In this famine, it is good enough to have enough food and drink and to be able to keep a foothold.
In this way, I sold it for half a month. At the beginning, I sold more than 100 Wen a day. Later, as more and more bean sprouts grew, the profit became bigger and bigger.
Longquan Town did not have that much sales, so Lin Shiqi set his sights on the county town.
Go find Mrs. Zhou.
"mother!"
Mrs. Zhou lay in the house every day and received a steady stream of 100 coins from Lin Shiqi every day. For her, this was simply a godly life.
Many people in the village knew that the Zhou family was selling bean sprouts.
My eyes turned red with envy.
It is said that the Zhou family has married a good wife who is good at making money!
