After Zhou learned that Xiao's mother was going to set up a stall to do business, she looked confused.
She didn't know what was wrong with her mother. She always said that whatever she said was true.
It's not Zhou's fault. It can only be said that Zhou is a typical conservative. She is a player with stable output. She has some money in her hands and can save it until she dies. She would never think about doing business because doing business is too risky and she can lose it all if she is not careful.
"Mom, you want to do business, but I don't have any money to give you."
She really had no money. After all, the little money she had was used to study the secret recipe for her children.
She thought that Xiao's mother told her that she wanted her to support her with some capital or something.
Xiao's mother was very helpless about this, so she patiently explained that she would not need to contribute a penny to the business, she only needed to help with the work, and she would be paid every month in the future. When she made money, she would take her to the county to see a doctor.
When Zhou heard that she would not have to spend any money and would be paid, and that the money she earned would be used to see a doctor, she felt her blood boiling.
Xiao's mother always keeps her word and never goes back on her words. Not to mention that taking her to see the doctor might be just empty talk, but she will definitely do what she says if she says she will pay her.
Zhou felt very happy when he thought about the monthly income he would have in the future, so he agreed immediately and was willing to work with them.
So... the four mothers started to do something big quietly.
Jiang Sui is the commander. After all, it was her idea that made her the one who came up with it, so we have to listen to her on what to do.
First, you need to purchase a large batch of sweet potatoes and extract enough sweet potato starch.
The next step is to customize the mold. She needs an iron colander with round holes, because hot and sour noodles must be round to be classic.
Her previous method of blanching the potato skin and cutting it into vermicelli was too troublesome, so she just used a colander to sift out the vermicelli one by one, then fished them out and dried them. After drying them, she tied them into bundles and took them out and soaked them in water when she wanted to eat them. She could eat and cook them at any time.
Of course, she also needs a mold for boiling sweet potato skins, because she also wants to sell mixed sweet potato skins.
Mix the potato skin with sesame paste or peanut butter, a spoonful of chili oil, and add shredded cucumber and carrot, coriander and peanuts. It tastes better than cold noodles.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, this cold-mixed sweet potato skin will definitely sell well.
Sweet potatoes are easy to buy, and every household in the village has stocks.
A pound of sweet potatoes only cost five cents, and I bought five hundred pounds in one go, spending two and a half taels.
The villagers didn't know what the Xiao family was going to do with all those sweet potatoes, but as long as they could make money, they didn't care.
Jiang Sui asked Xiao Yi to go to the town to hire a blacksmith to make a few colanders for her. She couldn't describe it, so she drew two drawings and asked Xiao Yi to take them.
The blacksmith looked at the blueprint and said that it would not be difficult to make, but iron products would definitely cost money, and it was not easy to smelt iron at that time.
Three colanders cost only one or two taels of silver, and they said I could just pick them up after seven days.
As for the mold for boiling sweet potato skin, it is very simple. Xiao Yi can make it by himself. It can be done with two pieces of wood.
When he heard that the women in his family were trying to start a business, he didn't find it funny. Instead, he was very supportive.
Because he also felt from the bottom of his heart that this business could succeed.
Now that we have the sweet potatoes and molds, the next thing is to prepare the seasoning. Jiang Sui took some time out to go to town with Xiao's mother to buy the seasoning.
I bought spices such as cumin, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and also bought a large bag of sesame seeds, a large bag of peanuts, and a large bag of chili powder.
I also bought some pork fat. When I make spicy oil, this pork fat is the soul.
It just so happened that she came to the town, and Xiao's mother wanted to make up for what she owed the children.
She promised her daughter embroidered shoes for the second and third daughters-in-law, and also asked the fourth daughter-in-law to buy cloth to make two sets of clothes for herself. Otherwise, what would it mean for her to wear the old clothes that she had altered every day?
So after buying all these various seasonings, Xiao's mother went to the cloth shop again. She asked Jiang Sui to choose two colors of cloth by herself, and she would make it for her personally after returning.
Jiang Sui didn't hesitate and went straight to choose, because this was agreed upon in the morning and there was nothing to refuse.
The fabrics chosen were all very basic cotton and linen, and Jiang Sui chose green and light purple.
These two colors are more suitable for my age.
Cotton and linen cloth costs thirty cents a foot. With her size, she would need at least ten feet of cloth to make two sets of clothes.
Three hundred coins were gone all of a sudden, so country people don’t usually make clothes. If clothes are torn, they will be patched up if possible. As long as they can be worn, it’s fine, because making clothes is really expensive.
After the operation was completed, the mother and daughter returned home with a lot of luggage.
Ermazi saw that they bought so many things this time, in big and small bags, and was very curious for a moment. Did their family make some fortune?
Not only has he been going out very frequently recently, but he has also been buying up large quantities of sweet potatoes from all over the village.
Sweet potatoes are a food that everyone is tired of eating, and I don’t know why they bought them.
He didn't ask about this in person, but the matter quickly spread in the village, saying that the Xiao family had quietly made a small fortune.
Er Mazi helped to pick up the old doctor from the town to go to the Xiao family, so he knew that someone seemed to be living in the Xiao family and was injured, but no one knew who it was.
The Xiao family also announced to the public that a distant relative had come and broke his leg on the way, so he could only stay in the Xiao family for the time being.
So everyone speculated that this distant relative of the Xiao family was a wealthy person, and was staying at the Xiao family to recuperate, and paid a lot of money for food and accommodation.
As soon as these things spread, many people came to the Xiao family to inquire about the news, all of them just to join in the fun.
The Xiao family has been busy grinding sweet potato starch these days. Five hundred kilograms of sweet potato starch needs to be ground, precipitated, and dried, which will take several days.
As a result, the older and younger wives in the village would come to visit them from time to time, making it difficult for them to work.
This money-making skill must be kept secret. What if someone accidentally learns it?
They all came to inquire about their relative, Su Yanqing.
However, Su Yanqing had difficulty moving, so he could only stay in the room, with Mr. Zeng chatting with him to keep him company.
Mr. Zeng also knew that the Xiao family had recently been planning to set up a stall to sell hot and sour noodles. Seeing that the women in the Xiao family were all very ambitious, he told Su Yanqing about this and asked him if this business could be successful.
The answer is of course yes, because God will not treat any hard-working and diligent person unfairly.
Su Yanqing can now half lean on his back, and has been staying in the Xiao family for half a month. The Xiao family has taken very good care of them and has never treated them badly in terms of food.
He also learned a little about the Xiao family's situation through Mr. Zeng.
After learning about Xiao Hechuan's story, Xiao Lanlan's embarrassment, and Xiao's second sister-in-law's distress over not being able to get pregnant, I could only sigh, why does the hemp rope always break at the thinnest part, and why does misfortune always pick on the suffering people?
In Jeju, his grandfather learned of his situation and wrote back, saying that as soon as he was able to move, he would immediately leave for Huaxi County to recuperate.
But Su Yanqing didn't want to leave for the time being, because he wanted to do something for the Xiao family before he left.
