Chapter 11 Preparations before opening a noodle stall

Shen Yunyao looked at her brother's expression and was a little speechless. Is this the big deal?

If Shen Yunhao knew that she thought so, he would definitely tell her that it was true. After all, he had never seen a parts-assembled dough press.

Since knowing this, Shen Yunyao has been promoted to the most admired and powerful person in his heart.

He is extremely supportive and expects his sister to do other things.

He also thought about why his sister had never been so powerful before. Although he had doubts, he kept it to himself and did not ask. After all, she was his sister, and as long as the family could live a good life in the future, that would be fine.

Shen Yunhan wowed, "Sister, are you going to make something powerful?"

Seeing the enthusiasm of his two younger brothers, Shen Yunyao had no choice but to tell them: "I just want to make a small crossbow. When my legs heal, I can go hunting in the mountains. Then we will have meat to eat every day."

Mrs. Liu's face suddenly turned ugly. She put down the bowl, turned to look at Shen Yunyao, and said sternly: "You are not allowed to go!"

Shen Yunyao looked confused, "Mom, why?"

"You and Shen Yunyan were lucky enough not to encounter any wild beasts when they secretly went there before. I never knew you dared to go to the mountains. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go even if I tied you up at home. You didn't know that the wild beasts on the mountains are so ferocious that they can even Even a pheasant dares to fight with people.

Otherwise, why is there no hunter in the village, because a strong man cannot even kill a pheasant and hare, and ordinary arrows cannot penetrate their skin. Therefore, few people go up the mountain. At most, they collect some firewood at the foot of the mountain. And the wild animals in the mountain Things don’t go down the mountain very often.”

Shen Yunyao was surprised. No wonder Shen Yunyan always used to trick her into avoiding adults and going to the mountains. There were many good things in the mountains, and she could just pick up wild ginseng roots without going deep into the mountains.

"Why are they so powerful?" Shen Yunyao wondered.

Ms. Liu recalled the rumors she heard in the past: "We here were able to cultivate immortals a long time ago. Later, the spiritual energy disappeared, but some people and beasts who had practiced were left. They had no spiritual energy to support them and gradually fell away. But those who had practiced After all, beasts are stronger than humans, and their descendants are stronger than ordinary people even if they don't practice spiritual energy."

Shen Yunyao's eyes flashed with excitement. She must make a crossbow that can hunt wild animals.

Very good! I like challenging places the most!

Liu added: "However, the meat of these wild animals is very tender. Speaking of which, I remembered something. Hao'er, from now on, fish farther away from the river. If you can't pull up the fishing rod, just throw it away.

In the past, people in the village didn't go fishing because the fish in the river were too big for ordinary people to catch. People usually didn't dare to catch fish. After the autumn harvest, the villagers worked together to catch fish. A fish weighed several dozen kilograms, and they caught seven or eight fish. One strip is enough for the whole village."

Shen Yunhao responded quickly.

Shen Yunyao immediately thought of the noodle business. If there were fish balls and fish bones to make soup, it was basically a no-cost business and would only require a little effort.

It is necessary to make a device that is convenient for fishing. When the time comes, place it on the shore and turn the handle directly next to the device to easily pull up the fishing net or fishing wire.

Shen Yunyao started to cut old cloth with scissors again, "I will make a tool that is convenient for fishing, so I won't worry about my brother falling into the river. If we catch a big fish, we can make fish balls, and then we can earn more by selling noodles and fish balls." If you have a lot of fish bones, you can also make soup.”

Ms. Liu was noncommittal, "Let's make it and try it first before we talk." She was really hoping that this method would work.

In the afternoon, Shen Yunyao took a nap, and Shen Yunhao went to find a carpenter to make fishing gear first.

The weather was getting cooler, so Liu took a bamboo tube of water to the dock.

She arrived at the pier in less than an hour.

There are many large boats parked beside the broad river. This is the intersection of two rivers, and the two rivers merge into one and flow towards the sea.

The place where Liu walked was not far from the confluence of the rivers. Many large ships stopped here to replenish items on board, or for passengers to change ships.

The road along the shore is full of stalls selling food and other types of food. Liu asked about several stalls, and they all said that there is a stall fee of 50 yuan for setting up stalls here.

For a farmer, fifty cents is a lot of money. After all, twenty cents is a pound of white flour.

She walked around and saw two or three noodle shops, all of which were hand-rolled.

There are six or seven people eating at each stall. It's already past dinner time, so it's obvious that this place would be full if it were dinner time.

A bowl of plain noodles with a few green vegetables costs five cents. A bowl of noodles with three pieces of meat costs ten cents. It's all noodles made from whole grains mixed with white flour.

There are four or five large tables on the stalls, with long benches. These benches are still there every night, but you have to pay an extra thirty cash.

Some people want to save money and move home every day. If the original place is occupied the next day, they have to occupy a new place.

After Ms. Liu roughly understood it, she returned home.

During dinner, I told the children about the situation at the pier.

"The stall fee is too expensive. If we store it for another night, not counting food, the fixed cost alone will be 80 cents a day." Ms. Liu was a little confused, "Three kilograms of white flour a day would cost 60 cents. Can this make money? Don’t die at a loss.”

Shen Yunyao asked: "What kind of food does our family have? How much is it?"

"Ten jins of rice, three jins of white flour, ten jins of brown rice noodles. Twenty jins of soybeans, and fifteen jins of mung beans. Our family only has one acre of land and doesn't grow much. Why did you start asking this?" Ms. Liu has a good memory. The family accounts are very clear.

"We can make two types of noodles, one with pure white noodles and one with mixed noodles. Both types are made of wide noodles and thin noodles. You can also divide it into large and small bowls. The portion size of a small bowl is half that of a large bowl. Ask me when the time comes What kind of noodles do the guests want? Our family has more choices than others, so are we worried about not having any guests?"

Shen Yunyao finished speaking in one breath, thinking that the white noodles and mixed noodles here were not ground finely enough and the taste was not good. In the future, the hydraulic flour mill must be able to grind fine white noodles.

Ms. Liu nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "Ayao really knows how to do business. Just as you said. A big bowl of pure white noodles costs ten rupees, and a small bowl of mixed noodles costs 5 rupees. A small bowl of white noodles costs 5 rupees, and mixed noodles costs 3 rupees. Soup It’s all the same.”

"The soup can also be different. There are so many vegetables in the vegetable garden now that I can't finish them all. You can use them to make vegetable soup. I make three or four kinds of soup every day. Only add fish soup and nothing else. Just follow the price mentioned by my mother. Those with vegetables will cost two cents more, and those with fish or eggs will cost five cents more." Shen Yunyao couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought of the various delicious braised soups.

Shen Yunzhen's eyes sparkled as she stared at her sister, "Sister, then we can eat noodles every day, right?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Our stall is for selling. You have eaten it yourself, so what else are you selling? However, our whole family will eat the first meal when it opens!"

Shen Yunhao frowned slightly, "Should our family buy a car? How are we going to transport things? Do we need to borrow my uncle's oxcart every day? How do we make a stove fire? We don't have that many bowls, do we have to buy one?"

"I'll make a simple stove out of mud and dry it in the sun. Buy a cart. Make some folding tables and folding chairs. Thirty bowls are enough. If you want to save money, chop bamboo and make bamboo bowls and chopsticks. Right." Shen Yunyao secretly admired that this younger brother was already able to use his brain and always listened to his mother's orders before.

Mrs. Liu patted her forehead lightly, "Ah, I actually forgot about this. Ayao is right, just do what you said. Let's make bamboo bowls and chopsticks. There are a lot of thick bamboos in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Even if you cut a few, The village doesn’t care.”

The twins fell asleep while listening, so Mrs. Liu had no choice but to carry them to the bed. The three of them discussed it and tidied up separately. Mrs. Liu helped Shen Yunyao scrub her body, then scrubbed herself and went to sleep.

Shen Yunyao lay on the bed and started practicing every day again.

After taking out a 30-gram box of seasoning powder, she realized that she had forgotten to solve the problem of the taste of the stew.

There are no seasonings at home, and Mrs. Liu’s cooking is mediocre. It’s not realistic to go to the drug store to buy medicinal materials and make your own seasonings. Mrs. Liu will definitely disagree.

It was just the right time to bring out the seasoning powder, but how could I hand it over to Mr. Liu without being suspected?
