Chapter 149 Sweet and Sour Sugar Gourd
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. After this day, that is, the end of the New Year, people in joy will return to reality from the celebration and think about how to live a good new year.
Su Zhi planned to use this festival to make another profit and sell all the remaining hawthorns at home. Before that, she had sold some by making hawthorn cakes and fried chestnuts, and all the chestnuts were sold to the restaurant. Now there are still several baskets of hawthorn left. Su Zhi plans to make all the sugar- If the lights are sold, they will definitely be sold at a good price.
Su Zhi calculated that if these hawthorns are a string of five or six hawthorns, they can make thousands of strings of sugar-coated haws, and if these sugar-coated haws are only sold by her and Shen Zi'an, not to mention that they can't be sold out. Even if they can be sold out,
Of course, find acquaintances if you have money to make money.
The people Su Zhi found are all people who have come close to them these days. This time, she didn't call Liu Siniang and Wang Huazhi. Let's not talk about whether these two people can go to the lantern festival in the town on the Shangyuan Festival, but they can go. This time it's selling sugar-coated haws, which * More appropriate.
Wang Huazhi is a widow. It is inconvenient for her to have a baby in a woman's house, and Liu Siniang is not treated well in that family. She has her part in her work. I don't think of going to the Shangyuan Festival to play. Even if she thinks of it, she will let her stay at home to watch the house Besides, Su Zhi looked at Zhao Daliang coming back. She felt that the person was not a pure person and had too many intentions. She didn't want the person to know about the business she made money, let alone let him propose to participate in it.
Therefore, in the end, in addition to Li Shi, he also called Li Qing, Shen Shugen and Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui. They thought that the sugar-coated haws would be made and sold in groups. They would definitely sell much faster. You can play again after selling it, and nothing will be delayed.
On the day of Shangyuan Festival, Shen Zi'an went to call all these people early in the morning.
Su Zhi told these people about selling sugar-coated haws. Ask them who would like to do this business together.
"Brothers and sisters-in-law. We have this for us. Let's do it together. Each of us pays the salary. When it's done, everyone can take a certain amount of sugar-coated haws to the lantern party to sell, and each string of sugar-coated haws is sold. You can bring out part of the money from there. The more you sell, the more money you get, and how much money you can make. It depends on how much you sell. This is called dividends. What do you think? Do you want to do this business?
Su Zhi stood in front of the hall and finished her words. Looking at the people sitting on both sides, she knew that they would agree. This is a capitalless business. As long as they work hard, they will make money, and those who don't make money are fools.
Sister-in-law Li's eyes widened and said, "Sister. Look at what you said, of course we all want to do it. You are sending us money. If we don't continue this kind of good thing about pie falling from the sky, it's really starving to death. God won't be pitiful!"
The rest of the people also nodded one after another. They felt that this was really a good thing. Some people even thought that it was taking advantage of Shen Zi'an's couple. They felt that they paid too many dividends, so they just paid for it.
Su Zhi said, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, don't be polite. We are familiar with each other these days, and it will be far away if we are more polite. Besides, this sugar-coated haws may not make money or not. Maybe the dividends you will get at that time will not be as much as the salary I gave during the day. At that time, you don't realize that it is taking advantage of us.
Shugen's sister-in-law smiled and said, "My sister-in-law, what you made will definitely not be sold. Even if you stew a cabbage, it is more delicious than ours. Your hands will be praised for cooking for the emperor. Although I don't know what this sugar-coated haws are. But that's all I heard. I think it must be a good food.
Li also said, "That's right, that red sour fruit. We all say it tastes bad, but the fourth sister-in-law, you can make such delicious cakes. Since you can make that, you can definitely make other delicious food.
Li Shi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you have told us this sugar-coated haws for a long time, and also let us see what it is. If you sell it to others, let us taste it first, so as not panic."
Wang asked with some surprise, "Brother Stone, you have also seen the world outside, and have you never heard of this sugar-coated haws?"
Li Shi has been to many places and even stayed in the capital because he was sold to be a subordinate. Many people who have not been far away in the riverside village have seen the world.
Li Shi stalled his hands and said, "I haven't even heard of it. This is not strange. My sister-in-law is clever. She has made too much strange food, but I have never seen it. Now when I make it again, I don't feel anything. I just want to see it first and try it again.
Wang thought the same thing. She took a look at Su Zhi and thought that it was good that she didn't have a mess with Shen Zi'an for the sake of her mother's sister at the beginning. If Su Zhi was so smart and had so many ways to make money, they couldn't get it. Even if they got it, it was not good It means to appear in front of them again. Thinking of making another sum of money, she was also happy in her heart, but when she thought that she had to pay the money to the public, she felt sad again.
When others heard it, they were even happier to eat food that Li Shi had never heard of. They thought that the more strange it was, the better it would be to sell, and they also wanted to see what the sugar-coated haws were like like Li Shi.
Su Zhi was very happy to see that everyone was willing to sell sugar-coated haws with them. These people were people who took good care of their couple these days. She also hoped to make their lives a richer life, and she planned to spread the reputation of sugar-coated haws in this Shangyuan Festival.
"The four sisters-in-law and I went to clean up the red sour fruit and let these men do their work."
Su Zhi took four women into the west room. There was also a kang in that room. Shen Zi'an was hot in the morning, and it was very warm when charcoal was put in the room.
Those baskets of red sour fruits were put in this room. They had been washed by Su Zhi with water added to Lingquan yesterday. Now they are all red and bright, as if they had just been picked from the tree. Several women were surprised to see it, boasting that Su Zhi would hide the fruit.
Su Zhi thought that if it hadn't been for the function of the spiritual spring, it wouldn't have been so watery, but this hawthorn is easy to collect, and it's not surprising that it's better.
Su Zhi first took the red sour fruit for several people to try and teach them how to remove seeds.
The four women were all skillful. They learned it at a glance and began to do it. While giving the red sour fruit to the seeds, they chatted and laughed happily. The atmosphere was very warm.
Shen Zi'an took Li Shi and several men to make bamboo sticks. Huzi and Xiao Suo also played with him, but the two of them preferred to play with Xiaohei. The two of them kicked a bamboo contempt ball in the garden and played with Xiao Hei Xiaobai. Bai Lang and Dahei watched.
By noon, several men had already cut a lot of bamboo sticks and handed them over to the West House. At this time, the red sour fruits had also gone to the seeds.
Except for Li Shi, the other four couples went home for dinner. Li Shi stayed to eat with Shen Zi'an. As soon as they finished eating and didn't rest for a while, those people came back. They all wanted to make the sugar-coated haws quickly so that they could taste it.
"That Sun wanted to come, so let's stop him. Sister-in-law, let the holy beast guard a little. If she and the third brother come, there must be nothing good.
Wang said that she didn't want Sun to interfere in this business. One more person would take away more money, not to mention the Sun she hated.
Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an looked at each other. Shen Zi'an went out and talked to the white wolf and told him that someone came and stopped him. In short, he couldn't let the unwelcome people see this sugar-coated haws.
Sure enough, Shen Ziping and Sun came this afternoon. As a result, the holy beast was shocked and was sent away by Shen Zi'an without even entering the door. Both of them were very unwilling when they left. They also wanted to make money, but Shen Zi'an and others didn't let them participate. They hated Shen Zi'an very much.
Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi are naturally not afraid of offending them. What should they still do? They taught several people to make sugar-coated haws. When the red sugar-coated haws wrapped in shiny syrup appeared in front of everyone, several people felt that this thing was really cute. They wanted to eat it, but they were a little reluctant. It looks good in your hand.
Su Zhi said, "This is sugar-coated haws. We can make large strings and small strings, six large strings, and three small strings. The big skewers are sold for five cents, the small skewers are sold for two cents, and the small skewers use the small red sour fruits left after the skewers.
Several people looked at the big string of sugar-coated haws and the small string of sugar-coated haws, and felt that the big string was festive, and the small string was also festive. Several adults held the big string in their hands, while the small lock and the tiger held the small string. Even if they didn't eat it, they felt different.
"Delicious! Sour and sweet!"
When Huzi bit the red sour fruit, he felt that his mouth was sour and sweet, which was more delicious than the best snacks and candies he had ever eaten. He immediately smiled.
The little lock also took a gentle bite and nodded with a smile.
Several adults also ate it and felt that it was really delicious. They immediately increased their confidence in the business of this sugar-coated haws to make money. After eating the sugar-coated haws in their hands, they began to work enthusiastically.
Many people are powerful. After it is done, several people installed all the sugar-coated haws and put them on Shen Zi'an's ox cart, and then the group was ready to go up the town. ( To be continued) RQ
