Chapter 335: Losing Money
Maybe cook porridge, or make pancakes to eat, in short, you will definitely live up to it.
It takes several days to make sweet potato starch. This time is just enough for Zhaojiazhuang to prepare the tools for making sweet potato vermicelli that Xia Mingyue mentioned.
It was agreed that Xia Mingyue would come to Zhaojiazhuang again in a few days to teach the next step of making vermicelli. Zhao Lizheng began to urge the people working in the vermicelli workshop to hurry up and make enough sweet potato starch.
The crowd immediately became busy.
The vermicelli workshop has just started, and Zhao Lizheng attaches great importance to the people who work in the workshop. They are all carefully selected from the Zhaojiazhuang, who are hardworking, quick in work, and very smart.
These people, regardless of age or gender, are working very hard at this time and just do their best to do the job in hand.
But some people have raised doubts.
Although this ancestral hall is old, it is also a place for worshiping ancestors. The tablets that can be placed are those who have made outstanding contributions to Zhaojiazhuang. It can be said to be the most important and sacred place in the entire village. , should be kept clean and solemn on weekdays.
Nowadays, the backyard of this ancestral hall is bustling with people. It is filled with all kinds of dried sweet potatoes and wooden basins. People come in and out every day, making it very messy.
And this is just the beginning.
When the vermicelli workshop is really started, the big stove will be burned, the vermicelli will be cooked, dried and sold...
By then, this ancestral hall will be forgotten by people. The ancestral hall.
Would this be disrespectful to the ancestral hall and ancestors?
Faced with such doubts, Zhao Lizheng suddenly blew his beard and glared, "Are our ancestors such stingy and pedantic ancestors?"
"I can guarantee that our ancestors in Zhaojiazhuang always dreamed that our Zhaojiazhuang would become rich quickly and live a better life, so that we would be able to provide for a few promising people in the future."
"To be honest. If we were able to save Lady Xia, Xia The lady is able to come to our Zhaojiazhuang again. Maybe it was brought by the sparks on the soles of the feet of our ancestors running underneath."
"At this moment, maybe I am begging my grandpa to help us open up all the roads. relationship, so that our vermicelli workshop can quickly It’s running smoothly!”
“My ancestors are working like crazy down there, and we’re just dragging our feet above. We’re afraid that our ancestors won’t feel at ease underground and jump out of the coffin board in the middle of the night. Even if I come out, I will grab your ears and scold you severely. A meal!”
“In the future, when we make money and our lives get better, we will repair the ancestral hall, provide more everlasting lamps to our ancestors, and burn more paper money, so that our ancestors’ lives will be better. Some, isn’t it better?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately agreed.
Yes, since you are the ancestor of Zhaojiazhuang, who doesn’t want his descendants to live a good life and be successful in the future?
If the ancestors were really looking forward to it down there, and they are now discouraged, that would be a great act of unfilial piety. When they get old and go underground, they will really be scolded to death by their ancestors.
After thinking about this, the people in Zhaojiazhuang no longer had any objections to setting up a vermicelli workshop in the backyard of the ancestral hall. Instead, they became more energetic in doing the work at hand.
My ancestors have worked so hard to help them. If they, the younger generations, don't work harder, they will really embarrass their ancestors!
Everyone's efforts were reflected in Zhao Lizheng's eyes, which made him extremely happy. He was just thinking about where to build the workshop next.
The backyard of the ancestral hall is just a transition, and it will eventually become formal and appear professional.
In addition, an ancestral hall is an ancestral hall after all. Although he said so, it must ultimately give the ancestors a quiet environment.
Therefore, a professional and spacious workshop is particularly important to Zhaojiazhuang.
Zhao Li was thinking that these things needed to be planned as early as possible, so on the second day, he asked Zhao Sanlin to measure the land and prepare to open up wasteland and weed for future use.
When Zhao Sanlin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Ah?" "Ah what?" Zhao Lizheng glanced sideways, "Is it because I didn't make my words clear?"
"No." Zhao Sanlin shook his head and frowned, "Isn't it a little early to do these things so early?"
To put it bluntly, it's hard to say whether this workshop can make money.
"Are you questioning my vision or Madam Xia's plan?" Zhao Lizheng curled his lips and asked.
Zhao Sanlin, "..."
None of them.
He didn’t even dare.
"Since you don't have any, hurry up and do the work." Zhao Lizheng snorted coldly and entered the main room with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Sanlin touched his nose.
It felt like his father disliked him very much.
But he was just a little worried. After all, he had to think in the best direction and prepare for the worst, so that things could go smoothly.
He is just a little more conservative...

Since June, the weather has become hotter day by day.
In the hot summer, people will inevitably be greedy for coolness. Not only do they try every means to enjoy the coolness every day, but they also choose foods that can relieve the heat, such as watermelon.
Xia Mingyue also introduced a unique cooling product for Buyunlou at this time.
The once popular ice powder, paired with some fresh watermelon chunks, peach chunks and other seasonal fruits, began to be sold at Buyunlou.
On the basis of ice powder, a new food is added, cold shrimp.
Stir and simmer the finely ground rice milk and clear lime water until it becomes transparent and has a solid feeling. Use a slotted spoon to drain into a cold water basin into pieces the size of shrimps. After the pieces are formed, mix them evenly with the cooled brown sugar water, and then you can eat them directly.
The cold shrimp has a cold taste and is chewy and smooth. It not only relieves the heat but also gives a certain feeling of satiety. It is very suitable for people who have a bad appetite due to the heat.
Among these foods, the most popular is milk and taro balls.
Use taro puree, purple sweet potato puree, and pumpkin puree, add enough tapioca flour to knead the dough, roll it into long strips and cut it into small pieces, cook it in the pot, remove it from the cold water, and pour it with fresh of milk and sugar, you can start eating.
The taro balls are chewy and refreshing, the milk is mellow and delicate, the taste is full of fragrance, and the aftertaste is sweet. It can be said to be a salted fish of all ages and is loved by people of all ages.
Shopkeeper Ge even found an ice cellar and paid a high price to have ice delivered to Buyun Tower every day, so that it can be used to make cold drinks to relieve the heat in summer.
With the addition of ice cubes, the texture and taste of ice powder, cold shrimps, and milk taro balls are improved to a higher level, making them more popular among customers.
Just a few days after these cold drinks were sold, the accountant found Shopkeeper Ge, "Shopkeeper, I have calculated and calculated again and again. Selling ice powder, cold shrimps, and milk taro balls every day is not profitable. On the contrary, I also lost some money.”
“The younger one looked at the account carefully. The book, the rest is fine, but the ice cubes used to make these meals are really expensive, and the prices are not expensive, so I lost money.”
Because I had a heat stroke yesterday and was on the road today. The reason is that the update is a bit late~
