Cheng Xi was walking on the streets of Linjiang Mansion carrying large and small bags.
In addition to half a kilogram of salt, she bought several feet of fabric and twenty kilograms of stretch cotton at the cloth store, which cost her two and a half taels of silver.
"Oh~ It's so worthless-"
Thanks to the support of those robbers, otherwise the cheap husband's medicine would have been all spent.
After thinking about it, I still have to make money.
I'll upgrade my green onion pancakes tomorrow!
Cheng Xi touched the remaining five coins on his body and walked to a pork stall.
"Boss, how do you sell this meat?"
"Lean meat is 15 cents per catty, fat meat is 20 cents per catty. How much does the lady want?"
"Seven catties of lean meat and two catties of fat meat. How do you sell pig trotters and pig ears?"
" There's no meat in this thing, and no one wants it. I'll give you five cents and take it away." The boss
was full of energy. He cut five kilograms of meat with two clangs of his knife, then turned around and cut it again. Four pig trotters and two pig ears were strung together with straw rope.
Cheng Xi was overjoyed when he saw the "good things" he bought for five cents.
"Boss, leave these unsold ones to me in the future. I will come and get them."
"Really? Are you kidding me?"
"Really, I don't want the others, four pig's trotters and two I'll give you ten cents for each ear."
Pigs' trotters are all good things, but they are too time-consuming to deal with, and she really doesn't have the patience. In comparison, the price-performance ratio of pig's trotters is too high.
Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it won't go bad even if it's marinated. It's not too pretty to take it out for a toothpaste from time to time.
If that doesn't work, she can still be put in the refrigerator in the space, right?
The stall owner agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay, then I'll leave the lady alone!"
The stall owner took the pile of copper coins and smiled so hard that he secretly sighed that he had met a big customer today.
Cheng Xi paid and carried the things and quickly arrived home. He took out some spices from the space and marinated all the meat he bought.
Under the heat of high fire, the fishy and blanched pork exudes a burst of aroma.
"Milk, it smells so good, it tastes like meat!"
"Who is making delicious food again? I can't live without it every day!"
"Milk, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
"Eat Eat as long as you want. Where do we have the money to let you eat meat all day long? Come and work for me!"
Very good, the child next door cried with greed again.
Cheng Xi was in a great mood, humming a song, picked up the cotton and cloth she bought, and went to her sister-in-law.
"Xingqi, you are good at stitching, can you make a few quilts?"
Shen Xingqi was embroidering purses at this time. There was a one-meter-wide screen placed on the east side of the boudoir. The butterflies and birds in the pattern echoed each other and were vivid.
This craft can definitely be applied for World Heritage status in modern times.
"Of course. The whole family is run by Sister Xiaoxi, so I help with the needlework."
"Everyone has his or her own strengths, but I am far behind you in embroidery. Remember, you are our Shen family member. Bao'er."
The little girl doesn't seem to know her own potential and value, so what can she do?
I, the people in Cheng Xi, must show the attitude of "I am the best in the world", even if I don't have it, I have to teach her!
Shen Xingqi had no idea that she would embark on the path of becoming a king. She smiled lightly at her, and the sides of her cheeks turned pink because of the praise.
"Sister Xiaoxi, you are so kind~"
"."
This kid is quite easy to coax.
Cheng Xi couldn't help but take out a lollipop from the space and stuff it at her.
"Here, here are the candies I bought today."
"I'm not a child."
"I'm not even 15 years old yet, so why am I not a child anymore."
She is still a baby herself!
Cheng Xi roughly estimated the weight of the cotton. Twenty kilograms was enough for one person and one bed.
"Let's make three quilts first. I see that the weather is a bit cold, so the quilts should be thicker."
There are a lot of warm silk quilts in her space, and they are made of high-quality fabrics, but they are too eye-catching when they are taken out. To survive for a long time in ancient times, you had to adapt to the environment.
Shen Xingqi nodded in agreement. With her help, she unwrapped the lollipop wrapper and put it in her mouth. Her dark eyes were incredibly bright.
***
In the morning, Cheng Xi got dressed, opened the window and took out the thermometer.
3 degrees.
Two degrees lower than yesterday.
The water in the wooden bucket in the yard has a faint tendency to freeze.
The weather this year is indeed abnormal, and the speculation came true, which cast a layer of gloom over Cheng Xi's mood.
The awareness of precaution and crisis has been deeply ingrained in her bones. She is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the unexpected. It is always right to prepare in advance.
Cheng Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, took out a pen and paper from the space and began to think about how to spend the winter.
Cotton clothes and quilts are necessities. Charcoal in ancient times was too expensive, so you can buy more firewood and store it. The windows need to be sealed, as the oil paper can easily break in the event of strong winds and heavy snow. A wood-burning iron stove is also required to ensure indoor temperature.
The most important thing is food. Although there is no shortage of anything in her space, there are still two people at home, so things have to pass through the open road.
Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, condiments, eggs and meat, fruits and vegetables, commonly used soups and medicines.
"In ancient times, it was not illegal to buy knives. Do you want to buy two?"
Added!
The white A4 paper was filled with writing in a short time, and she listed a lot of supplies.
The cell phone in the space rang an alarm, and Cheng Xi reluctantly put it in, pushing the cart to start a new day of making money.
Huaishui Pier.
This is indeed an important transportation hub in the Great Yan Dynasty. The pier is as lively and full of shouts as ever.
The arrival of the trolley caused many people to stop and watch. Five days is enough time for the fragrant green onion pancakes to open up sales.
Due to its high quality and low price, her stall is not only loved by the day workers at the dock, but also the wealthy people who usually run business can't help but buy a few more to eat on the road.
"Young lady, you're finally here, give me two pancakes!"
"Okay!"
Cheng Xi quickly set up the iron plate, and the scallion pancakes he prepared in advance sizzled with oil when heated, and the aroma soon spread.
The regulars sniffed it vigorously, and their eyes fell precisely on the wooden barrel on the right.
"It tastes like meat! What other food has the little lady prepared?"
"Yes, it's braised pork. The braised pork in the pancakes will be delicious. Would you like one, sir?"
Cheng Xi opened the wooden barrel and discovered the unique taste of braised pork. Floated out.
The red meat is filled with a strong five-flavor aroma and the color is attractive, instantly capturing the taste buds of everyone 500 meters around.
Today, in addition to scallion pancakes, she also made a lot of meat bun pancake skins, which can be used after heating them on the iron plate for a few seconds. It can be said to be a very fast food.
Without waiting for the regular customer to answer, Cheng Xi took out a fist-sized piece of braised pork, chopped green pepper on top, and put it into the heated pie crust.
"Sir, it's five cents each. Do you want to try it?"
The person opposite who was still hesitating was stunned.
Ah, this little lady is ready. Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't buy it?
"Come one, come one, get the ten cents!"
"Okay."
The other party couldn't wait to take a bite almost as soon as he took the oil paper bag, and the next second he was stunned.
A bunch of onlookers next to him were more anxious than him.
"How is it? Does it taste good or not?"
"It tastes so good. How can there be any reason why so much meat shouldn't taste good?"
"What kind of reaction is this? You should speak up!"
"Oh, I'm so anxious, shouldn't I?" Could he be choking?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the regular customer burst into tears of excitement.
"It's so delicious, eh - two more, no, three!"
Isn't it just five cents each? It's not expensive, he can eat five more!
Regular customers take out money from their pockets while eating steamed buns, eager to stuff them into their mouths.
Seeing this posture, the others gathered around him.
"Little lady, bring me a meat pancake!"
"I'll have one too, and two green onion pancakes!"
The car was instantly flooded with customers, with three tiers inside and three tiers outside, almost swamping the owner.
Cheng Xi: "."
There is no need to be so exaggerated.
You ancient people knew marketing.
