After Xie Baotian finished speaking, he also frowned and remained silent.
Mr. Lu hugged Xie Yushu
"My daughter, what will I do in the future?"
Seeing that everyone was gloomy and miserable, Xie Yushu couldn't stand this low-pressure environment and took the lead to break the atmosphere.
"Okay, don't worry, mother, don't cry either. Although I took the divorce letter, I won't be unable to survive. Didn't I save Mr. Han in Fucheng some time ago? He gave me Got my money.
This time I went out to treat another patient and earned dozens of taels of silver. I have already bought a piece of mountain land in Tai'an Mansion, and now I have found someone to build a house there. When I come back, I will go there and let Han Sir, please create a female household for me.
I have skills and can live well on my own, not to mention it's not far from Tianqi and Tianming. They can't let anyone bully me. I feel more comfortable than in the Xiao family! "
Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming were also busy guaranteeing
"Mom, aunt, don't worry, we are there and we won't let my sister be bullied!
When my sister goes over there, you don’t have to worry about what the talkative women in the house like to say. By the way, my sister will give us thirty taels of silver, and we will form a partnership with Brother Liu and his brothers, and we plan to go to Tai’anfu Pier. Open a food shop.
Moreover, my sister also bought a lot of hawthorns and sugar for my father. She wanted to teach my father and second uncle how to make candied haws. They calculated the cost. For one pound of sugar and 30 skewers of candied haws, they could earn 30 copper coins!
If my father, eldest brother, and second uncle can sell dozens of strings a day, each of them can earn about one tael of silver a month. This is still a bad year, and they will only sell to rich people. When the year improves, they can sell for a hundred dollars a day. Ten skewers is also very possible. I saw people selling candied haws at markets and temple fairs in the past. They sold hundreds of skewers a day, and they were all sold out before dark.
We are of the same mind, and our family’s life will only get better and better in the future. When the time comes, we will be envied by those gossiping people! "
Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming quickly talked about their plans to make money, and as expected, they immediately diverted the attention of the Lu family.
"real?"
Mrs. Lu didn’t even know what to ask first, so Xie Yushu said directly
"It's all true. It's just that you have to keep my mountainous area a secret. There is no need to spread it to everyone. That place is still in a panic and only temporary housing for workers has been built. It will be completed next year and the year after. There are more rooms, so you can stay at any time for a change of environment.
As for Tianqi's shop, there is a lot of traffic at the pier, so opening a food shop is guaranteed to make a profit, so don't worry.
Candied haws on a stick is a small business, easy to learn, and children are willing to eat it. It is not expensive, and there is definitely no need to worry about selling it. It is not a problem to make a few taels of silver a year.
I'll teach you tomorrow morning. It's getting cold now. Once the dipping is done, you can sell it and try it! "
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, the whole family looked forward to it. Xie Baotian even couldn't wait to go outside to find vitex branches, and he and Xie Baoshu tied two candied haws on the heads overnight!
After talking about the candied haws on a stick, Xie Yushu asked about Xie Tianlin's marriage. Mr. Lu praised the girl and said that you all just happened to be back. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, ask your brother to invite people over and let us all have a meal together. Know know know.
Xie Yushu heard this and said:
"The day after tomorrow, isn't there a big market in town tomorrow? My dad and the others are going to sell candied haws, and I'll take you to the market to buy some things!"
Mrs. Lu was afraid of spending money and didn't want to go, so she asked Xie Yushu to keep the money. Then he fell silent.
The family kept talking until it was deeper into the night, and then they went to sleep.
Xie Baotian burned the tiles himself, and not only rebuilt the original five main houses, but also built three additional east and west wing rooms. They are all tiled houses made of lime and stone, and the yard is spacious. Today, the Xie family's house is also the largest in the village. It’s considered one of the best.
Although there were many houses, the wing room was usually unoccupied. Although the kang was burned, it was still a bit cold. Madam Lu left Xie Yushu and Xiao Haitang in her own room, and drove Xie Tianqi and the other boys to the wing room.
After a good night's sleep, Xie Yushu got up early the next morning and taught Xie Baotian and the others how to dip candied haws.
Mrs. Lu and Ms. Wang had gotten up early and had already skewered more than sixty candied haws. Seeing Xie Yushu come out, they asked Xie Yushu if this was enough. Xie Yushu looked at it and said
"It's almost done. It's my first time selling, so let's test the waters first."
Xie Baotian, Xie Baoshu and Xie Tianlin were very active and looked around Xie Yushu like good students.
Xie Yushu quickly washed the pot and put water on it. Second aunt Wang helped to light the fire. Mrs. Lu arranged the candied haws one by one and brought it to Xie Yushu. In fact, there were not so many people needed, but everyone was curious, so Xie Yushu let it go. They were busy.
When the water boiled, Xie Yushu counted the candied haws. There were sixty-six skewers. They were well dipped. Two kilograms of sugar was enough. But thinking that the first dip was not accurate, she grabbed an extra handful and put it into the pot. After stirring and waiting for the sugar to form small bubbles, Xie Yushu asked Wang to take off the heat and quickly dipped it in.
Pick up the dressed hawthorn, roll it quickly in the pot, dip it in sugar, and put it on a smooth cutting board. When it cools, it becomes a bunch of crystal clear candied haws.
Although Xie Yushu's technique of dipping candied haws was just for fun and she learned it from a certain video by making it for herself, but it was still okay. After dipping two kilograms and a handful of sugar, there was still some left. In order not to waste it, Xie Yushu directly took a few Throw a hawthorn into a pot and roll out a dozen rock sugar hawthorn balls for the family to try.
While several people were inserting candied haws, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang cooked another pot of thick porridge and everyone ate it. Xie Yushu took Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Wang, Xiao Haitang, Xie Baoshu and Xie Baotian and went straight to the market. .
Xie Tianlin took six bunches of candied haws on a stick and went to the girl's house to show his courtesy. He also told the girl to come home for dinner tomorrow.
Xiejia Village is only twenty miles away from the town, and Xie Yushu and the others arrived there in less than half an hour driving the donkey.
Now, after two or three months of transition, the market has regained some vitality. There are not too many people, but there are also some who hunt pheasants and rabbits in exchange for grain and cloth, and some who exchange potatoes for salt, but there are all kinds of snacks. But none of the candy balls were sold.
Xie Baotian and Xie Baoshu's candied haws attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared. However, most of the people wandering around the market were poor people. Even if they saw it, they couldn't afford it. There were only two or three people here and there. It was extremely painful to spend three dollars selling the product. I bought a bunch for a copper and took it home for my children to eat.
Xie Baotian and Xie Baoshu were a little anxious. Xie Yushu advised them to shout louder, shouting at the shops along the street, and personally inspected his house, cleared her throat and shouted
"Selling candied haws on a stick! Sweet and sour, good for spleen and appetizer, candied haws on a stick suitable for all ages!"
