Daily life after crossing

Chapter 4 Selling the Jam

Lu Shi'an has been making jam for the past few days. After adding the diluted spiritual spring water, the taste of the jam has been greatly improved.

The happiest thing for the two little ones at home is to eat porridge with jam. Lu Shi'an wasn't very able to accept this way of eating, but it was up to them.

He picked up a few clay pots in the space, put the jam in them, and kept two jars for himself, preparing to pack the remaining five jars and sell them in the town.

He decided not to tell Xiaoyu and Ah Heng about the space for the time being. They were too young to understand what the existence of space meant. Moreover, when they are older, they will have their own lives, and the space will not be known by others. They are now the only relatives of Lu Shi'an since the second life. He didn't want to cause the gangsters to find out and hurt them because of the space thing, so he should hide it or hide it.

"Brother, are you going to sell jam?" Lu Shiheng asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm going to sell jam, you can watch it at home, the second brother will help him with his work when he comes back, and the chicken should also be good and be good." Lu Shian asked worriedly.

Lu Shiheng snorted dissatisfiedly, but agreed obediently: "Brother, when am I not good, I will wait for you to come back at home."

Lu Shian was not so worried, thinking to himself: Ah Heng is really good, but he really did The brother's just can't do it without worrying at all.

Uncle Niu's family is the only family in this village that has a horse-drawn carriage. He drives the car from the village to the town, but the time cannot be set arbitrarily. The last time Lu Shian gave him a jar of jam, he was very satisfied, and then he agreed to take him to the town by carriage today.

"Uncle Niu, I only have these five jars, you can take me to town!" Lu Shian smiled and handed him two cents.

Uncle Niu didn't refuse: "Next time I'm going to town, just say it straight, don't give anything anymore, the sauce you made probably cost a lot of sugar, your Aunt Niu told me harshly after knowing it. A meal." As if remembering Aunt Niu's angry look, Uncle Niu's expression became a little unnatural.

Lu Shiheng smiled and said: "It's not worth anything, it's just the boy's heart. Uncle Niu also took care of our family when I was sick. The boy is very grateful." This is not true, Aunt Niu did give a lot of money some time ago. Vegetables and grains grown by themselves.

Uncle Niu didn't say anything anymore, he just told Lu Shi'an to be optimistic that the jar would not be broken, and he started off with a carriage.

It's been a long time since I came to this era, but Lu Shi'an has never been out. He can only have a general understanding of this era in the few memories of the original owner. At this time, it was the Yin Dynasty. The level of development here is equivalent to the early Tang Dynasty. Even the purchasing power of currency is similar. A pound of grain can be bought for three or four cents. It can be seen that it is very difficult for people in the village to save some money. It's a difficult thing, but there are also good places. Cheap food means high yield of food. In the village, as long as people are not lazy, very few people die of starvation. What makes Lu Shian even more satisfied is that there is no special contempt for doing business here. It can be said that the status of businessmen and farmers is similar, but the business tax is heavier.

"His Majesty in this dynasty has worked hard to rule, and has made outstanding military exploits, so that we are where we are now. Don't look at us now that we don't have much money and silk, but anyway, there are no bad people, and we don't fight anymore. If you work hard, you can always get on." Uncle Niu saw He kept looking at people coming and going outside, afraid that he would be bored, so he chatted with him.

Lu Shi'an couldn't help but nodded, indeed, as long as you can live and work harder, it's really not a problem for many people who are used to suffering. But he felt that to live, one should not only live well, but also live well and live easily.

"Okay, here we are. If you want to sell this sweet sauce, you have to go to an inn, restaurant, or restaurant. Why don't I take you to the biggest restaurant in our Yanlai Town!" Uncle Niu suggested.

Not long after, they came to the door of a well-decorated restaurant, and when they looked up, they could see a plaque with the words "Huihong Restaurant" written on it.

Before entering, there was a servant at the door, standing in the lobby, and said, "Are you here for dinner?"

He looked reluctant, probably because he saw that Lu Shi'an and the others were really shabby.

Uncle Niu said with an apologetic smile: "This little brother, we're not here to eat, we're here to sell."

The boy said disdainfully, "What good things do people in the countryside have, huh, I don't have any knowledge and I still feel like I live in a backcountry. What a rare treasure."

Lu Shian patiently said: "It's not a rare treasure, it's just something we made ourselves, I want to ask the shopkeeper to take a look..." Before

he finished speaking, the boy immediately took it. He picked up his broom and was about to blast them out, and sneered, "Here comes another one, all kinds of cats and dogs come to our store, picking up the messy things, what are they supposed to be treasures!"

"Why do you talk like this, little brother!" Now, just as he was about to reason with him, Lu Shi'an stopped him. "Forget it, Uncle Niu, we won't argue with him." Lu Shi'an

turned to the servant again: "Today we wanted to sell jam to your shop, but it seems that we don't have to."

The young servant thinks he has a lot of knowledge, which means that the owner of the restaurant is probably a person who has high self-esteem. Seeing it or not seeing it is meaningless.

The servant thought he had won, so he spat on the ground arrogantly and went back.

"Bah, who is it? It's really inexplicable. We haven't said anything yet." Uncle Niu said depressedly.

"Forget it, Uncle Niu, it's alright, let's switch to another family." In fact, Lu Shi'an also expected that things would not go so smoothly, and things have come to an end.

They went to another restaurant with a simpler name, called Yanlai Restaurant.

The servant in the Yanlai Restaurant led them through the door with a straight face, and then they saw the owner of the restaurant, who was taking a nap at the cashier.

However, when he heard movement, he woke up.

Then I heard that Lu Shi'an was going to sell food, and he was a little interested: "Really? What is food?"

Lu Shi'an took out the orange-yellow reddish jam with great confidence, but it hadn't poured yet. In the bowl, the restaurant owner smelled the fragrance of fruit, so he couldn't wait to take out a spoon and scoop a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"Well, this is good, this is good." The boss couldn't stop praising, "I don't know how my brother is so young, how can he have such skills." After speaking, he couldn't help but take a spoonful.

Uncle Niu saw the sweetness he ate, and remembered the taste he ate before, and smashed his mouth aftertaste.

The owner of the restaurant was very satisfied, "It also added brown sugar to cover the sour taste of the fruit, but it still has a fruity aroma. Well, that's not bad! Let's see, for a tael of silver per jar, you don't lose money, and I also earn some money, you see. How?"

Lu Shi'an was also very satisfied with the price, he made a contract with the boss and got five taels of silver.

The boss said: "I'm afraid this jam will not last long, right?"

Lu Shi'an couldn't help giving the boss a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of the boss, he pointed out the root of the problem, "Yes, this can only be stored for seven days, and it cannot be The sun is shining, if there is an ice cellar, it can be stored for about ten days."

"That's fine, that's fine, enough time. Little brother, you have to sell it to me Yanlai Restaurant only as stated in the contract. ' the boss reminded.

Lu Shi'an quickly said: "I still understand the rules, you can rest assured." Then he was silent again: "If others know this craft, then I can't do anything, I can only guarantee that my jam will be delicious and clean. "

The boss nodded: "It was natural at that time."

Lu Shi'an bought some chickens, ducklings, and geese that could look after the house. He also bought cotton cloth, rice noodles, and vegetable seeds. Couldn't resist buying some.

Uncle Niu couldn't stand it anymore: "An Wazi, I know you can make money at a young age, but you can't spend it like that, you still have to save a little."

Lu Shian smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Niu, I will definitely do it next time. Don't buy so many." In fact, I secretly felt that the consumption concept of young people is really different from that of old people since ancient times!

Back at home, Lu Shi'an packed some brown sugar for Uncle Niu: "Uncle Niu, today I will let you and I ran for a whole morning, I'm really sorry, this is a little thought of the boy, you must accept it."

Uncle Niu didn't want to accept it, but Lu Shian put the brown sugar in the car and left, Uncle Niu had to accept it, just wanted to Next time he goes to town, he will definitely take him there, and he will also be taken when he is busy with farming.

The jam really sold out in the next few days. Many people thought it was too expensive. A small plate cost 500 cents, and no one was interested, but after eating it, they couldn't stop. This jam is suitable for all ages and is loved by the majority of Yanlai residents.

The chicks, ducks, and geese are growing well under the care of Lu Shiheng. Don't look at Lu Shiheng as young, but they do things in a well-mannered way, like a little adult.

Cheng Yu was always serious and shy. Lu Shian often praised him because of his good cooking skills, and he often blushed for a long time. He felt that the eldest brother was very silent before, but now that the eldest brother has become "bad", he likes to tease him.

Lu Shi'an found brother Liu Wen who made bamboo baskets in the village, Aunt Lin's son, and ordered more than a dozen baskets. Then he asked the children in the village to help them find edible berries. The fruits in each basket should be the same. Yes, after picking, give a basket of three cents. The price is fair. Each child can pick several baskets a day. At the foot of the mountain behind the village, there are wild grapes and wild raspberries everywhere, as well as some unknown edible fruits. Some earn more than their parents.

So at night, some people always put on a good show of parents suppressing bear children.

"Auntie, this is what I earned, I can't give it to you." The bear child tightly clenched the copper coins in his hands, but he didn't give it to his parents.

His mother had no choice but to coax him: "Good boy, iron bull, give the copper plate to my mother, and my mother will help you save it and marry a daughter-in-law."

Unexpectedly, the child burst into tears: "I don't want a daughter-in-law, I don't want a daughter-in-law, I'm going to buy candied gourd. Well! I want to eat candied gourd!" Lu Shi'an sometimes distributes food from the town to the children in the village who are picking wild fruits. Obviously, the child is obsessed with candied gourd.

"Okay, my mother will buy it for you tomorrow, a big bunch!" His mother reluctantly agreed, there is no way, this money is earned by the child after a busy day, he deserves it.

In the past few days, Lu Shi'an knew nothing about what was happening in the village. But he is in a really good mood. After all, selling jams is a steady stream of income. Now he has earned more than a dozen taels. Now he makes more and puts it in the space. In winter, he can ask the boss to increase the price.

There is a difference between having money and having no money. When you have no money, you have to be careful even to eat some rice. Now it is different. Every morning, Lu Shian will cook some eggs for his two younger brothers, and he will go to the town to buy some meat every three or five days. Stew ribs to eat. Xiaoyu and Aheng have both gained weight, and their complexion is not as bad as before.

Lu Shi'an also asked someone to send some cakes, brown sugar, and cotton cloth to the uncle. This kind of kinship also has to be back and forth. The uncle has been helping their house. Now that he has money, he can send some things that the uncle is reluctant to buy.

The author has something to say:

Well, I still changed it a bit, and I want to read it again. I was going to overhaul it, but I didn't have time.

Regarding jam, it is very suitable for time-travel novels. I don't know if you have read it or not. I don't start with very good, infrequently used, and creative stalks, generally they are rotten stalks.

I hope everyone understands. mwah.
