My family isn't considered wealthy yet, and wearing such expensive clothes makes things inconvenient.
So for so long, their own people's clothes have not been remade, mainly because they are used to wearing them, and comfort should be the priority.
Xu Han smiled broadly as she looked at the large bags of food Lu Chuan was carrying. "Why did you buy so much? Have you eaten yet?"
As Lu Chuan opened the food container, he said, "Not yet, waiting for you to eat together."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han sat down and helped Lu Chuan open all the food they had just bought.
The two had breakfast together, and then called their servants to go to the mountain produce shop together.
The cabinet I wiped yesterday is now completely dry after being aired out overnight, and there are no water stains at all.
Xu Han said, "Let's put the different kinds of things in first, and put the rest in the cabinet below."
Xu Han directed them to put the items away according to their different categories.
Of course, no fresh vegetables were added. The cabbages and radishes in the mountains had already been harvested, and there were no other green vegetables available at this time of year.
If you want to buy cabbage, radishes, or similar items, you can only go to the farmers' homes near the county town to buy them.
In just one morning, the shop was completely cleaned inside and out.
Looking at the shop that was fully stocked, Xu Han felt that there were still not enough varieties of vegetables.
I couldn't think of anything to add. There are only so many vegetables available in winter, and there's really nothing else.
Even though that's what I thought, I still felt like something was missing.
She simply moved a chair over and sat down, carefully recalling the meals she had eaten during this period.
Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han sitting there and didn't disturb her, thinking that she was tired and resting.
Suddenly, Xu Han slapped her thigh and said, "I've got it! I was wondering what was missing. It's bean sprouts and tofu."
We can sell not only vegetables, but also these two items. There aren't many vegetables available in winter, so these two should sell very well.
Looking at Xu Han's startled expression, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, chuckled, and reached out to rub her thigh that he had just slapped.
"I thought you were tired, but it turns out you were thinking about the business at the shop!"
However, your idea is indeed good. This morning when Han Qi and I went to the market, we didn't see any bean sprouts for sale. We can give it a try.
I did see two tofu vendors, and I even checked them out specifically, but their tofu wasn't as good as yours. It had impurities and was a bit hard.
Xu Han became even more excited upon hearing this. "Really? If there really aren't any, we can definitely try selling them."
"We can sell more than just bean sprouts; we can also sprout mung beans and peanuts, both of which are delicious and have different textures."
Lu Chuan had also tried peanut sprouts and mung bean sprouts, and thought Xu Han's suggestion was very good.
To confirm whether bean sprouts were actually being sold at the market, Xu Han specifically called Li Wen over, since he had been in the county town for the past few days and frequently visited the market, so he had a clearer understanding of the situation.
“Bean sprouts? Madam, I have never seen them at the market before.”
"Never seen it before? That's even better. What do you think about us selling it in the shop?"
Li Wen thought carefully, "I think it's feasible. Very few people here know how to sprout vegetables, and even if they do, no one has ever sold them."
I've never had bean sprouts at my previous home, but I don't know if they're available here.
Li Wen first ate bean sprouts deep in the mountains. When he first tasted them, he didn't know what they were. They looked like beans, but they were different from the beans he usually ate. He only found out after asking Dan Niang.
The bean sprouts we eat at home were taught to Granny Ma by Xu Han. Granny Ma was very meticulous, and after learning a few times, the bean sprouts she sprouted grew very well.
Xu Han thought that she had never seen bean sprouts in the shops in the county town over the years, so she figured they were not available, or if they were, no one would sell them.
After all, there are many things to pay attention to when sprouting beans. If you're not careful, the bean sprouts will grow too big and won't taste good.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if someone grows bean sprouts. Making bean sprouts is complicated and time-consuming, so it's more cost-effective to buy them.
Once I understood this, I became even more certain of my idea to sell bean sprouts in the shop, and I could also sell tofu.
Since it's cold now, I can make the tofu the night before and deliver it the next day without any problems.
Moreover, it's perfectly feasible to do it on the same day; you just need to get up a little earlier.
Making and selling tofu is hard work; don't they all get up in the middle of the night?
Xu Han looked at Li Wendao beside her and said, "When you go to pull the cabinet later, tell Granny Ma that I asked her to sprout some peanuts, bean sprouts, and mung bean sprouts."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Han changed her mind and said, "Forget it, let's not sprout peanuts, just some bean sprouts and mung bean sprouts will do."
Too many varieties will actually make them harder to sell. Let's start with these two; we can talk about peanut sprouts later.
Li Wen replied, "Yes, madam. How many kilograms of bean sprouts do you need?"
Xu Han did some mental calculations. Under normal circumstances, one pound of yellow soybeans can sprout 6 to 10 pounds of bean sprouts, and under average conditions, it would be 8 pounds.
Ten jin is eighty jin of bean sprouts. There are many people in the county town, and since it will be the time when the sprouts are ready and the business is just opening, there will definitely be a lot of people coming by attracting customers.
Even if we can't sell them all, it doesn't matter. We have a lot of family members, so we won't waste anything.
It's pitiful; if they really can't sell them, they might have to eat bean sprouts every day!
"Let's order 10 catties of mung beans and 10 catties of soybeans for now, and ship them once a day. We absolutely cannot run out of stock."
"Yes, madam, I understand."
Li Wen continued, "Madam, the matter you mentioned yesterday about contacting farmers to buy radishes and cabbages has already been taken care of when I went to the market today."
We bought them below market price, but even at this low price, we don't make much money. I estimate we only earn about seventy or eighty coins a day.
Xu Han also thought of this situation. In this era, ordinary people would rather stretch every penny to two, and many people would rather take it to the county town to sell, so that every extra penny they could get was worth it.
Since Xu Han bought the goods at the same price as she sold them at the restaurant, she naturally didn't make much money.
Upon hearing this, she comforted Li Wendao, saying, "It's okay, I never intended to make money from this."
The main reason is that our shop is supposed to sell vegetables, but right now our vegetable garden is empty, so we can't just not sell any vegetables at all.
"Next spring, I'll have them plant more vegetables, then it'll be much easier for us to sell our own produce."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "And you're calculating based on normal business. What if our business is exceptionally good? Then we'll earn even more."
