With Zhao Sidan doing live eating and broadcasting for publicity, how could the people around him endure it?
Ten cents is equivalent to one-third of a day's wages. Most people can still afford this money. Of course, they will not buy a bowl per person, but buy a portion and share it with the whole family.
"Dawang Niang, your craftsmanship is really amazing."
"The rice soaked in the soup is so delicious. This meal is so comfortable!"
"I'm not full...burp, give me another bowl of corn porridge that costs one penny. I have to do hard work in the afternoon."
Many people in the village are willing to come to support me, and the most they can spend is more than 20 pennies, which is within the affordable range.
The old Zhao family didn't prepare too much, and almost a hundred copies were sold out in less than half an hour.
"Oh my god, I really made money!" Mrs. Sun took out the wooden box containing the money, her eyes shining, "With so many copper coins, our family will become rich."
Mrs. Zhao opened her hand and said, "The cost hasn't been calculated yet."
In fact, the main cost was the three kilograms of meat I bought in the morning, which cost more than 70 cents in total. I also bought tofu and bean sprouts for more than 20 cents. As for the spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, they were all dug up in the mountains at home. The cost The total is about one hundred cents, and other than that is the net profit.
The total amount of copper in this wooden box is six hundred and eighty-two cents, which means a net profit of half a tael.
Everyone in Lao Zhao's family was breathing a little unsteadily. They made half a tael of silver in one noon. If they were open and sold, they would probably make one tael, which would be two taels of silver in a day... I always felt that making money was too difficult. It turns out that making money can be very easy as long as you find the right way.
"Dad, Mom, this business can be done!" Mrs. Sun took a deep breath and said, "I think the dishes can be enriched to give everyone more choices."
Wen Shi nodded: "Porridge and wild vegetables are selling slowly. It can be seen that people are not willing to spend money to buy these foods that they can make by themselves. You can add more meat..."
A group of people from Lao Zhao's family held a meeting again.
Cheng Wanwan put forward some opinions of his own from time to time. At this point, the business has officially started.
While the old Zhao family was doing business, in mid-February, the four county examinations finally ended.
Although the county examination is only the first step and there is still a small step before childbirth, the county will still send people to specially notify and congratulate.
That morning, as soon as Cheng Wanwan got up, she heard the sound of singing and beating drums. Master Yuan came with four government servants to congratulate him, and first went to Master Yu's residence.
People in the village gathered around to watch.
"That boy from Master Yu's family is actually the head of the case in our Ping'an County."
"What does the head of the case mean?"
"I came first in all four exams, so I'm called the head of the case. Anyway, it means that I'm very powerful."
"..."
"Four eggs are not bad. He is even on the list at such a young age."
"I heard that Ping'an County will only take the top 100 candidates in this county test, and Sidan is the 99th."
"Oh, Sidan is so lucky."
"..."
Zhao Sidan proudly puffed up his chest as he was surrounded by people.
Although he is only the ninety-ninth, from today on, he is a glorious child, oh no, half a child.
"Master Yu, Sui Ruren, congratulations!" Master Yuan smiled and stroked his beard, "Will the two children take advantage of the situation and fail in the government examination next month?"
After the county examination, there is the government examination, which is about the same time as the college examination. Many students will pass the exam in one go.
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "Sidan has only been reading for more than half a year, and his foundation is not stable. Let's talk about it next time."
Zhao Sidan was not disappointed either. He knew his situation very well. He could pass the county examination only because of the day-in-day teachings of his eldest cousin and Master Yu. If he wanted to pass the prefecture examination, he would have to study hard for at least two more years...
"Xiao Zhan plans to give it a try." Master Yu said, "He is young, so it doesn't matter if he fails. It's just to gain experience."
Master Yuan nodded: "Many students from Huzhou have already passed by. The county magistrate is afraid that you will not be able to find a place to stay by then, so we have booked an inn in advance. When the time comes, you can go over and enter the Yuelai Inn and report your name to the magistrate. , ready to move in.”
Master Yu waved his hand quickly: "Our Yu family also has a residence in Huzhou, so we won't bother you, sir."
"The Yu family lives in the east of Huzhou City, and the examination venue is in the west of the city. The distance is too far, and the children are tired." Master Yuan said with a smile, "Our young master also has to take the exam, so we made a reservation for Cheng Tongsheng and Young Master Xiao Yu together. No trouble. I still have something to do in the city, so I’ll take my leave now.”
After Master Yuan left with the government servants, people in the village came to express their congratulations.
Master Yu's family was surrounded, and Cheng Wanwan's family was also surrounded by people from the old Zhao family.
"Oh, Sidan is indeed the grandson of our old Zhao family. He became half a child at the age of ten. It's really amazing!" Old Man Zhao said with high spirits, "Come, follow me to the Zhao family ancestral hall. This good news must be received Tell the ancestors!"
Mrs. Zhao was very happy: "I'll boil four eggs for you later. I'll try to get a merit in the exam and come back later."
Zhao Sidan said with a bitter look on his face: "Four eggs are too many, I can't eat them."
He is no longer the child who picked up eggshells on the ground and licked them. Over the past six months, he has already had enough of one egg a day.
Zhao Erwang's head came over: "It's okay, I'll help you eat one."
Donghua licked her lips: "I can also help Brother Sidan eat one, or two."
"You two gluttons, go ahead." Old Mrs. Zhao was blatantly partial, "Sidan has done great service for our old Zhao family. Four eggs are all given to him as a reward. If you can't finish them, eat them at night. If you can't finish them at night, Let’s eat again tomorrow morning!”
While Sidan passed the county examination, Cheng Wanwan prepared a meal at home for his family to have a lively meal together.
While eating, Cheng Wanwan asked casually: "Zhao'er, when do you plan to go to Huzhou?"
Before Cheng Zhao could say anything, Shen Zheng said: "The exam will take place on the third day of March and it will be done at the end of February. My father will definitely not have time to accompany me. Ah Fu, you go with me."
Ah Fu nodded. He was originally a book boy. He would go wherever the young master went.
Cheng Wanwan put down her chopsticks: "Then I'll go with Zhao'er."
Cheng Zhao was stunned: "Second aunt, that's no need. I can do it alone."
"Multiple people and multiple caretakers." Cheng Wanwan said, "When we go to Huzhou, there are too many things that need to be dealt with. You can just be responsible for the exams and leave other logistical matters to me."
In fact, she wanted to go shopping in Huzhou. Firstly, she would visit the big cities. Secondly, she would look for fruit saplings. If she didn't have any, she would buy them from the mall. Thirdly, she was ready to start her glycerin business, so she had to go to Huzhou. Learn about the market.
Shen Zheng's face was full of sorrow, so he shouldn't have asked Ah Fu to follow him. With Ah Fu, his aunt no longer cared about him.
Also, his father is really useless. It’s been half a year, why has there been no progress at all? If he had fallen in love with a girl, how could he be so persistent...
Cheng Zhao was very moved. If he really had a great career, the first person he would repay would definitely be his second aunt.
