The first day of Dahe Village officially received tourists and ended successfully.
Zhao Tiezhu came over excitedly to report the accounts: "We received sixteen people today and earned a total of thirty-eight taels. After deducting labor costs, food expenses, and material costs, we made a net profit of twenty-seven taels of silver."
Labor costs are the wages of those who receive tourists, food costs are tea and other items, and material costs are the prey released on the mountain...
Earning more than 20 taels of silver a day, the entire flowering season lasts for about three months. In total, this is a considerable amount of income.
The key is that the work is not tiring, as if someone specially delivers money to your door.
Li Zheng's breathing was a little unsteady, and he opened his lips and said: "Da Shan Niang, this business is too profitable. When the lotus flowers fade after summer, won't it be impossible to do this business? No, I have to think about it, how can I do it?" Let’s continue this business for a long time…”
Cheng Wanwan smiled and watched Li Zheng walk away.
After the lotus has withered, the pond is full of dead lotus and the autumn rain is continuous. It is also interesting to listen to the sound of rain falling on the remaining lotus. Otherwise, how could there be such a famous poem: Leave the remaining lotus to listen to the sound of rain.
Furthermore, she planted chrysanthemums in the flower garden. In the autumn, she would enjoy the chrysanthemums and some crabs. It would be delicious.
But there is no need to tell Li Zheng now, let him think carefully, maybe he can come up with other more interesting things.
As soon as Cheng Wanwan returned to her yard, she heard Sidan say that something happened at the old house, and the old lady asked her to come over as soon as she was done.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Lao Zhao's yard, she heard Mrs. Sun's voice yelling: "You little girl, you are so brave. You dare to steal the candy at home. Forget about stealing candy, you actually do something I don't know what it is." Make it into water and sell it to scholars to drink. If you drink it to death, you will have to die! I’m so angry, how could I give birth to a thing like you that doesn’t know how to live or die?"
Donghua and Qiuhua were kneeling in the corner, their heads lowered and silent.
Mrs. Zhao said with a straight face: "Okay, stop scolding, wait until the boss's wife comes and ask how to handle this matter!"
Cheng Wanwan walked into the courtyard: "What happened?"
"These two girls are selling lotus drinks on the street today. Has your sister-in-law heard about this?" Wen Shi sighed, "I really thought she made the drink from lotus flowers, but it turned out that it was stolen. I mixed the sugar at home with water, then went up the mountain to pick some red wild flowers, squeezed the juice of the wild flowers into it, and then picked a lotus and put it on the side. It became the so-called lotus drink. Does anyone know if there are any wild flowers on the mountain? Poison, those scholars drank a bowl each, what if someone died, it’s really scary!”
Cheng Wanwan was really shocked.
These two girls are really brave, they dare to do such a thing!
She knelt down and asked in a lowered voice: "Winter flowers, I'm asking you, are the wild flowers you use for coloring mentioned in the recipe?"
Donghua shook her head and said in a low voice: "No."
Cheng Wanwan continued to ask: "Then how do you know that this kind of flower can adjust colors?"
"We used to use this kind of flower to paint our nails." Qiuhua said with a wince. "The nails can change color, so can the sugar water..."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She didn't even know what to say. She would do anything to make money.
Now, let’s just hope this dyed weed isn’t poisonous.
Otherwise, if something happens to those scholars, the reputation of Dahe Village will be ruined.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Then can you go up the mountain to find some wild flowers and come back to show me?"
Donghua said hurriedly: "We picked a lot this morning and saved some to use tomorrow. They are placed under my bed."
"What, you still want to sell it tomorrow?" Mrs. Sun was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up when she picked up the firewood. "Life at home is getting better and better. You must do something wrong, you damn girl. Don't hide. See if I don’t beat you to death!”
Cheng Wanwan hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her: "Don't do it yet. Once you are sure that the wild flower is poisonous, I will never stop you from doing it again."
Winter Flower quickly ran to the house and took out the wild flowers. The flowers picked in the morning were already gone. The flowers were red and yellow, and they were separated by Winter Flower and placed on both sides.
Cheng Wanwan clicked on the system, and the system already had a prompt.
[Natural wild safflower, eighty yuan per pound! 】
There is also an introduction to this wild flower on the side. It is non-toxic and can be used as medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots. Pregnant women should use it with caution.
Fortunately, no women came today. Otherwise, if I accidentally let a woman who had just given birth drink this stuff, something would really happen.
She put down the red flower and said quietly: "This wild flower is considered a medicinal material and is not poisonous, but pregnant people cannot take it. You two are lucky today. If something happens, the entire Dahe Village will have to follow you two." Disaster!"
"Fortunately, it's not poisonous." Mrs. Sun breathed out a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, can I still continue to do this business?"
Without any scruples, her mind came to life. This drink could earn seventy or eighty cents a day, which was more than the coal diggers in the village earned.
Cheng Wanwan said sternly: "Of course we can do this business, but we can't deceive consumers. Since it's a lotus drink, it must live up to its name. There must be lotus leaves or lotus juice added to this drink. I don't know how to do these things." It’s provided free of charge, if you still want to continue doing business, then ask Shopkeeper Yan to pre-purchase the raw materials.”
Donghua responded happily: "Thank you, auntie. When I make money, I will buy flowers for auntie!"
She was so happy that she jumped three feet high.
Mrs. Zhao said solemnly: "Who told you to get up? Keep kneeling!"
Donghua shrank her neck: "Didn't the aunt say it's okay? Why do you continue to kneel..."
"You two stole the candy from home. If you dare to steal anything from home, I can't wait to chop off your hands!" Mrs. Zhao picked up a wooden stick and hit Donghua's legs, forcing her to kneel down. "As the old saying goes, , stole needles when he was young, and stole gold when he grew up, Zhao Fugui in our village is a living example! No matter what business you do, you must be aboveboard. If you dare to do such sneaky things again, you are no longer a member of my Zhao family! "
Dong Hua was beaten until she whimpered, and Qiu Hua sobbed softly.
"Don't cry! How dare you cry!" the old lady said bitterly, "You are not allowed to eat or sleep tonight. You have to kneel all night. You must remember!"
Cheng Wanwan agreed with the old lady's education method. Modern education does not advocate corporal punishment for children, but if they make such a big mistake, they can persuade and teach them with kind words. Not so many people have such patience and give them a hard beating. After a pause, you can deeply remember the bottom line of principles in your heart.
Early the next morning, Zhao Youcai came for a ride and went to the city to buy candies for the two girls, and also ordered lotus flowers in the lotus pond.
The business stalls of Donghua and Qiuhua were officially opened after they passed Ming Road.
Five cents a bowl is actually a bit expensive, but people who come to the village don't care about the money, and basically everyone will order a bowl.
In addition to Donghua's business, everyone else's business is also good, especially Zhao Mazi who sells wood-carved hairpins. A hairpin costs 20 Wen. He can carve seven or eight hairpins a day, and he can earn more than 100 Wen by selling them all. The savings at home increased instantly.
