Chapter 122 Growing Grapes
At a glance, he couldn't see any doorway, but as soon as he entered the main room, he was confused. He tried to rub the ground with the soles of his shoes several times, but found that the ground was incredibly smooth and very solid. He didn't know how it got there.
Su Tai came in with tea and snacks and saw this scene. She couldn't help but laugh, "Brother-in-law, don't look at it. Shen Yi smoothed the floor with various stones and carefully paved it. He also made some that we don't have here." It took a lot of effort to make clay!”
Su Sheng suddenly understood, straightened up, and sneered twice sheepishly, "I have never seen the world, but Sister Xiaomo is just laughing."
"No, try my Guokui. This is what is sold on Shen Yi's boat. There is also spring tea, which is picked in the mountains. It is a bit bitter, so I soaked it in mountain spring water and added some caramel sugar."
She put the food on the table, and the elegant tea bowl once again amazed Su Sheng.
After taking a sip of Guokui and drinking a bowl of tea, Su Sheng felt so comfortable that he couldn't describe it and just kept cheering.
Su Tai chatted with him for a while, and when talking about the situation in the county town, Su Sheng couldn't help but mention Cuilan's miscarriage again.
After Su Tai was stunned for a moment, she quickly regained her composure, "Since my cousin said it's okay, it must be okay. Brother-in-law, just wait, I'll go to the backyard to get you some ingredients and take a look."
After a while, Su Tai brought out the cotton cloth, which was purple, cyan, yellow, water pink, blue, black, brown and gray.
"Currently there are only these colors. Originally there was bright red, but most people wear bright red for everything, so I didn't get it. If my cousin likes it, my brother-in-law can tell me later and come back to pick it up in a few days."
Su Sheng waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, these colors can dazzle me. My father-in-law and his friends are simple, just get some white, blue, and black materials. Cousin Yunyun needs more. Your cousin said she likes purple and yellow. "
Su Tai probably guessed that Su Yu wanted to have a good relationship with Ke Yunyun, so she immediately picked out the yellow and purple materials, and also picked up cyan, water pink and white.
"Brother-in-law, take all these away and help me say hello to them. If you have time, it would be better for them to come and sit with me."
Su Sheng's eyes widened when he saw Su Tai being so generous, "Xiao Tai, why don't you discuss it with Shen Yi? The money I brought is not enough for so many materials!"
He prepared two taels of silver.
Su Tai suddenly said, "Who wants you to pay? My brother-in-law will give you whatever he has, and the rest is mine. You don't have to worry about Shen Yi, he will listen to me."
Seeing this, Su Sheng stopped being polite to Su Tai and quickly packed the materials and moved them to the bullock cart.
Seeing that he was rushing back, Su Tai quickly packed some pot helmets and a pot of tea for him.
When Shen Yi came back in the evening, Su Tai came out to help and mentioned the matter casually, "My cousin-in-law came here and gave me two taels of silver to buy materials. I took the money and gave some more. This is how we honor my uncle and them." Yes, by the way, how is business today?"
Shen Yi immediately took out the money bag and put it on the table. He drank a large bowl of water before suppressing the excitement in his heart. "It's my first time to do business today. I thought no one was willing to buy it. But before the boat went out, I sat on the table. The people on the boat were so attracted by the aroma of our pot helmets that they kept salivating. Those who had some money in their pockets bought one to share, and those who had no money also bought one to share.
Maybe they thought our Guokui was delicious, and they kept praising it after finishing the meal. They were still not satisfied. When the boat docked, some people couldn't help but spend a few pennies to buy one or two more. I still had half a basket left, so I took it to the town to try it out. There was no market today and there were not many people on the street. Shopkeeper Li of Jixiang Inn was easy to talk to, so I said hello to him and squatted opposite the inn to sell. .
In less than two quarters of an hour, all the remaining pot helmets were bought by people passing by. When I returned to the river, the people had not gathered yet, so I had to wait for another half an hour before the boat sailed. "
Today is the first day of opening. They prepared ten of each three flavors of thin noodle pot helmets and fifteen of each of three flavors of rough noodle pot helmets. They sold a total of 140 Wen, plus the money they earned from driving people across the river. Forty Wen, which adds up to one hundred and eighty Wen.
Su Tai was quite satisfied with the result, "After deducting the cost, I earned about a hundred cents from selling pot helmets today. I can prepare more tomorrow. I think we will double the amount tomorrow. We will see how much is left. In this way, we will be able to make more money on the third day." Easier to adjust.
In addition, I boiled wild camellia tea and put some caramel sugar in it. You can also sell it on the boat. Two bowls are a penny. If you can sell it, you can sell it. If you can't, there will be no loss. "
"Okay!" Shen Yi agreed. After resting, he immediately prepared the ingredients for tomorrow. Then he went to the bathroom to take a hot bath. After having a meal, he took Su Tai back to the house as soon as it got dark. Go to sleep.
It was dark the next day, so he got up half an hour earlier than yesterday to start work. When Su Tai woke up, it was still dark outside. She didn't panic when she found that Shen Yi was not around, but went to Earth Time and Space first.
It was time to harvest the ten acres of wild rice again, and she felt completely calm after receiving the 90,000 virtual coins.
He only glanced at the target that was within a certain distance of the upgrade, sighed helplessly, and turned around to go to the Mu Shikong Seed Shop and Vegetable Shop, where he purchased a batch of ingredients for making pot helmets and spent 500 virtual coins.
When she arrived at the stove house, Shen Yi had already made half of the pots and pans. She quickly helped him roll out the noodles and said, "I plan to clear out the one acre of vegetable land left by our family in the next two days and try to plant some grapes."
People have to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Although their family is now richer than other people in the village, their foundation is too weak. They must take advantage of the good years to come up with more money-making ideas, so that they will not be afraid of starving to death even if they encounter bad years again.
Shen Yi looked at her belly and frowned slightly, "Don't be busy, just wait until I come back to deal with it."
Su Tai nodded, but she already had an idea in her mind.
When Shen Yi went out, she immediately went to the Timber Space Sapling Shop and asked the boss for a batch of grape seedlings, including Kyoho grapes, summer black seedless grapes and sunshine roses. The price was twenty or thirty yuan. She ordered two hundred plants in total. The boss also gave me a discount and charged 5,000 yuan.
After getting two hundred grape seedlings into the open vegetable field, Su Tai went back to the house and moved a small stool, and started working with scissors and shovels.
When she was tired, she would take a rest. When she was hungry, she would eat a pot helmet and drink a bowl of goat's milk. She would wait for Shen Yi to come back and then plant twenty of them.
Pi Diandian pulled Shen Yi to see the fruits of his labor, "Look, I only planted twenty of them today while playing, working, and resting. Give me another ten days and it will be almost done."
Shen Yi looked at her expression and couldn't explain, "Actually, you can leave it alone and wait for me to come back."
Su Tai shook her head and said seriously: "You are already so busy, and you are not in a hurry. Look, the fruit seedlings are all in the pots. They won't die in a while. We won't be able to eat grapes this year. There is no need to look forward to anything. You Just let me do it slowly.
By the way, how is business today? ”
