Su Lele put the scraps of fruit peel on a plate and told everyone to taste them.
Everyone dislikes it.
After hearing the instruction, the grandfather immediately ran over and took a piece in each hand and started eating. The younger sister moved very quickly despite her small size. The elder brother also quickly took two pieces, one for his wife, and the same for his father. wife slave.
My grandfather ate it happily: "It's delicious, sweet and sour, and chewy. Take a piece when you're craving. It's not bad."
"Second sister, this fruit peel is also very suitable to my taste. The red fruit with sugar glaze tastes soft. This one is chewy, has a richer texture, and relieves greasiness."
Sure enough, pregnant women like sweet and sour food.
"Second sister, it's delicious."
Then Su Lele also cut a part for the servants to taste. Although it was just leftovers, everyone was reluctant to take a big bite and savored it slowly. A few years ago, they didn't have enough to eat. Now, although they can eat enough in Su Mansion, they rarely have snacks. Today, they can eat two kinds of snacks, both made with red fruits, which simply refreshed their understanding.
For elderly people like Grandpa, Uncle Chen, Aunt Guan, and Aunt Lin who have bad teeth, this fruit peel is more suitable for them to eat than some hard snacks.
Everyone worked together, and soon the fruit peels were wrapped in oil paper. There were 66 large bags full.
Su Lele said loudly: "Do you want to make money by relying on your own abilities?"
The fourth sister was very supportive: "I want to make money by myself."
The eldest brother asked: "Second sister, we don't have any bunks, how can we sell them?"
Su Lele smiled sharply and said: "I think so. Although we don't have a bunk yet, my grandfather, elder brother, sister-in-law, and parents should know a lot of dignitaries! Don't be afraid to share good things."
Wang Huilan didn’t understand what her daughter said: “Wouldn’t there be no money to be made from sharing?”
The elder brother's analysis was clear and logical: "Second sister, you want to expand your business through the friends we know, right? Give them food for free first, without mentioning money. After everyone has tasted it, they want to eat more, but they can't buy it. When the time comes, business will come naturally.”
"That's right, Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait."
"Granddaughter, how do you plan to price it?"
"I have thought about it. Red fruits are not valuable, but after taking into account the costs of sugar, purchasing red fruits, and labor, I plan to sell a pack of half a catty of fruit peel for 100 Wen. The sugar-frosted hawthorns are not easy to store, so I won't sell them. Customers who buy more fruit peels in the future can give some to the Frosted Hawthorns to try."
After the family discussed it, they all had no objections.
"Come on, each person takes a pack and goes back to eat for himself. The rest will be placed in the side hall. Tomorrow you can see who you want to give it to, and then come to the side hall to get it."
Su Lele was originally demented and had almost no friends, so she had to rely on them.
Su Lele said to the nine servants in the family: "Tomorrow we will make a batch of fruit peels. Then everyone will get two big bags to eat as snacks. There will be other snacks later. Everyone works hard in our Su Mansion. There will be no snacks. You will be shortchanged, and if you do a good job, you will be given a silver moon."
The maid Qiu Yu said loudly and hard: "Miss, I will definitely do it well."
Other servants also responded loudly, especially Uncle Chen's family. The master never beat or scolded them, and would give them delicious food. His wife would also reward them with some cloth. The owner also said that when his grandson grows up, he will be arranged to attend a school to learn calligraphy.
Everyone is thinking that they must work hard.
"Uncle Chen, I will follow you to Zhuangzi in the suburbs tomorrow morning."
"OK."
Su Lele planned to go to Zhuangzi to investigate. The ancient mountains must have been rich in products. Tomorrow, they would briefly explore and see if they could develop some new snacks.
Beijing suburbs Liujiacun
A carriage slowly drove into the village and ran towards the village. The woman sitting under the banyan tree at the village was not surprised. Everyone knew that the owner of the village was an official from the capital, and half of the farmers in the village were renters. Home field.
Su Lele was wearing a dark cotton coat and a single-screw hairstyle. The bangs hanging down on both sides always gave people a lazy and leisurely feeling. She was sitting comfortably and comfortably in the carriage, listening to Qiu Yu talking about the gossip in the capital.
The moment he got off the carriage, Su Lele felt how fresh the air in the ancient countryside was. The golden sun in the distance filled the mountains, and farmers were already working in the fields. He looked at the village in front of him, which covered about 5 acres of land. For ancient times, In general, Zhuangzi is not that big, but compared to modern times, it is considered a large villa.
Zhuangzi is watched by Uncle Chen and Lingzi in turns, and they usually come more frequently during the busy farming season. My parents and grandfather rarely come here. After all, the village is very simple and its purpose is basically to store grain.
After Su Lele took her maid Qiu Yu for a walk around the village, when she returned to the main hall, she saw Chen Bozheng chatting with a man who looked to be in his 30s and was wearing black linen clothes.
You can still see some patches on his clothes. The person next to the man is probably his son. He is very thin and his clothes are dirty. He is standing aside very obediently.
"Miss, this is Liu Shitou. He rented two acres of land from us. He gave us the red fruits last time. This time he brought some potatoes grown at home."
After Su Lele heard about the potato, she immediately glanced at the basket.
Hey, isn't this a potato? It turns out that it was called potato in ancient times. I thought potatoes hadn't appeared yet.
"Uncle Liu, how many potatoes do you have left at home?"
"Go back to Miss, there are still more than 800 kilograms left!"
Liu Shitou responded with a sad face. He and Liu Shan were the only two farmers in the village, and both had two acres of land. When he and Liu Shan were working at the dock, they listened to the words of the merchants in Mobei and bought some seeds at a high price to plant. The results were disastrous. High yield means high yield. It is easy to feel full after eating, but it is not delicious!
I cook it directly as a staple food every day, but it tastes tasteless and very bland. When I brought it to sell, no one recognized it. After tasting it, everyone said it didn’t taste good. We still don’t have enough money to pay the grain tax. In the past, we could barely pay it by growing other crops.
"I took it all, 10 yuan per catty."
Potato chips, here I come.
Su Lele plans to sell potato chips.
Tonight, let’s enjoy the hot and sour shredded potatoes, a large plate of chicken with potatoes, and griddle potatoes.
Liu Shitou told excitedly and sincerely: "What, young lady, you said you got all the 10 yuan per pound. But is this too much, and it tastes tasteless? Just buy some and try it." "
This farmer's character is quite good. Although his family is poor, he is honest enough.
"It's okay, I have my own arrangements. Are there any other races in the village? Harvest as many as there are."
