The Village Doctress Chapter 254: Invitation from Mrs. Song
"That's it. Sister Fen and I weighed 800 catties of crispy peas, 300 catties of salted peanuts and 400 catties of spiced broad beans and sent them to Washe. Then, the salted peanuts are still at that price. , but Sister Fen abruptly said that the five-spice broad beans cost 40 taels a catty. So, yesterday we went to the cottage to earn 490 taels of silver!" In Lin Fang's eyes There were little stars twinkling, which dazzled Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu didn't expect Lin Fen to be able to sell five-spice broad beans for forty cents a catty, so he was also happy, "Sister Fen is really capable!"
"What about me, what about me?" Lin Fang looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes, begging for praise.
Lin Fufu saw it as funny, but he also really felt that these two little girls are capable, so he said with a smile, "My sister Fang is also capable!"
Satisfied, Lin Fang happily told Lin Fufu how many of the managers in Nawashe begged them to make more snacks, and how much they wanted.
Lin Fufu heard it strange, just gave away a few hundred catties of crispy peas, and they were sold out so quickly?
Listening to Manager Xu's tone is quite demanding!
Not everyone can tell how much you want, and it's impossible to say if you don't have the ability to eat it.
Therefore, Lin Fufu became more thoughtful and asked Lin Fang, "So the crispy peas that Manager Xu gave you are all sold out?"
Lin Fang excitedly said: "It's sold out. I heard from Manager Xu that it was sold out not long after we left!"
Lin Fufu nodded thoughtfully.
Going to Washe twice, she made a rough estimate. As a big town with a permanent population of 5,000 to 6,000 but a foreign population of 40,000 to 50,000, the daily passenger flow of Washe can be imagined.
The main reason is that these migrants are here to do business. Most of the businessmen are rich and have leisure time in winter. It is really possible that Washe can sell several hundred catties of crispy peas a day.
"Actually, Gospel, Sister Fen and I stayed in Washedo for a while yesterday, and those rich guests took the initiative to ask Xiao Er to weigh a few catties of crispy peas and bring them home for the family to eat. " Lin Fang said suddenly, after thinking for a while, she looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes, "Gospel, don't you still have a shop? Let's make some delicious snacks and sell them in your shop. Can make money!"
Lin Fufu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded calmly: "That's a good idea! I just feel that the shop is wasted, and I'm reluctant to rent it out to others."
"Well, then Sister Fen and I take the time to clean up, and then go to the old carpenter's shop and ask him to make a few rows of cabinets and wooden boxes for small snacks." Seeing that Lin Fufu agreed, Lin Fang was very happy said happily.
Lin Fufu nodded and asked her: "Then I will leave this matter to you and Sister Fen, can you do it well?"
"Don't worry, I have learned a lot after being with Mr. Liu these days. Besides, my sister has taken time to go to Liu Ji Restaurant to learn from the shopkeeper in the restaurant." It's been a bit tiring, but fulfilling!
Both she and Lin Fang feel very good, and feel that this is what a person should live, with energy and hope.
"Gospel, it's time to eat noodles." Lin Fang came with a large bowl full of noodles, and greeted Lin Fufu, "I'm afraid you will be hungry and panic, so I made you a simple noodle with glutinous rice noodles. There are a lot of them."
Lin Fufu likes the dumplings made by Lin Fen very much. When he saw that what she made for her were dumplings, his brows and eyes frowned.
Saozi was passed down from the people of Beirong to Wei. The people of Beirong are cold and like to make spicy mutton dumplings in winter. After eating, the body is warm, but it is easy to get angry, but the physique of Beirong people has long been used to it, so it is not easy to get angry after eating.
But the physique of the Wei people is not good, and they are not used to the mutton scorpion with the smell of mutton, so they use pork scorpion instead.
Lin Fen is very good at making glutinous rice dumplings, and the glutinous rice dumplings she makes are very delicious, and most people can't make her taste.
Even Lin Fang and Feng Shi can do it, but they just can't make that taste.
Lin Fen uses moderately fat and lean pork belly to make pork sausage. Because Lin Fufu doesn't like to eat fat, so in order to cater for Lin Fufu's taste, she uses four-fifths of lean meat and one-fifth of fat meat Make dumplings.
Lin Fufu has seen Lin Fen make scorpion with his own eyes, and he has also learned from it.
The steps are, first wash and cut five or six catties of meat for later use, prepare more than a dozen dried red peppers, a large section of cinnamon, five or six bay leaves, a small bowl of chili powder, five star anise, a small Bowl of pepper, salt, vinegar, a small piece of ginger, a small handful of chives, and a small dish of old soy sauce.
After preparing these, heat the pan first, then put a large bowl of lard, and add a large spoonful of sesame oil to enhance the aroma. When the oil is cooked to medium maturity, first put the fat meat and simmer for a while, then directly pour in the lean meat and stir fry until it is half mature, then add the prepared aniseed ingredients, mix well and stir fry.
Then add old soy sauce for coloring and simmer for a quarter of an hour. When the meat color is finished, and it is almost cooked, add old mature vinegar to taste. Then simmer for a quarter of an hour, and pour in the chili powder.
Do not stir after adding the chili powder, let the chili powder and meat blend naturally, wait for the saozi oil meat to be red and bright, then add salt to taste, and put it in the pot for half an hour.
Then take it out of the pot, put the cooked shaozi in a large urn with a lid, and take it as you like.
Because the temperature is low in winter, it can be preserved for a long time, so this scorpion can only be eaten in winter for a few more days.
If you want to eat in summer, you can only eat every day, which is very troublesome.
"My Sister Fen's dumplings are even more delicious than those made by Master Tie of Liuji Restaurant!" Lin Fufu said enjoying the delicious noodles with dumplings.
Lin Fang echoed and said, "I think so too. Some time ago, I was so busy with Brother Liu Qin that I didn't eat for the rest of the day, so he took me to Liu Ji Restaurant to let Master Tie make simmered noodles. It’s just not as delicious as my sister’s.”
Everyone likes to hear other people's compliments, not to mention that Lin Fufu and Lin Fang's compliments are sincere, Lin Fang pursed her lips and smiled, and said without pretense: "Then I will make more glutinous rice noodles for you from now on! "
"Hey, sister, it won't work if you eat too much." Lin Fang said.
Lin Fufu laughed, "When we open the restaurant, Sister Fen can prepare some more for the guests to eat."
"That's a good idea!" Lin Fang smiled and nodded.
"Well, I will definitely do more!" Lin Fen also felt good, this is an extremely simple matter for her, if she can do something for Gospel, as long as she can, she is very happy.
When Lin Fufu finished eating the glutinous rice noodles, Lin Fen helped her put away the bowl, and then the three sisters talked about business again.
Lin Fufu told Lin Fen about Lin Fang's proposal to sell snacks in her shop just now, and Lin Fen also thought it was good.
She also specifically added: "I saw those rich guests who took their children to the theater at the Washe, and they all cried and rolled after they didn't buy the salted peanuts and spiced broad beans we newly sent. It’s pitiful and ridiculous. If we also sell it in the shop, at least it will be very popular during this period of time!”
After listening to Lin Fen's supplement, Lin Fufu felt that the snack business could be done.
The main reason is that she is lucky. Whether it is the Great Wei or the Beirong Kingdom, there are very few snacks. It may be that it is difficult for those common people to eat enough. What about snacks?
Even for those big families, the cakes that can be made are all precious and rare products, and they can't be circulated to the market at all, so that ordinary people can often see them.
Even if you can see it, you can't afford it, right?
But the small snacks she makes can be sold by tael, and one tael is sold for three pennies. Parents who feel sorry for their children will usually pay this for a few pennies.
"Then it's settled." Lin Fufu made a decision.
"Oh, by the way, I'll give you the four hundred and ninety taels of silver that Manager Xu gave you." Lin Fen went to get the silver after finishing speaking.
Lin Fufu frowned and held her back, "Sister Fen, I'll put the money on you. Since we want to open a shop to sell snacks, we need to collect a lot of broad beans, peanuts, etc. I'm busy now, I'll leave it to you and Sister Fang, and I'll pay for the raw materials from the few hundred taels of silver, and tell me if it's not enough."
"Oh, where do I get these hundreds of taels of silver? A few dozen taels are enough for me." Lin Fen said, and after thinking about it, he said, "The money we sell for the Biandan and Preserved Eggs The restaurant has also settled the previous accounts one after another, and I calculated that there are more than one thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and I will bring them together for you."
Seeing that the money for Biandan and Preserved Eggs has also been settled, Lin Fufu asked: "Then our latest batch of Biandan and Preserved Eggs are ripe?"
Lin Fen said confidently: "The last two batches are almost done. I only made the front and rear feet five days later. The next few batches are coming soon."
"Sister Fen, why are you working so hard? If you get tired, it won't be worth it." Lin Fufu said angrily.
Lin Fen laughed: "During the days when you and A Fen were in the town, I just stayed at home and made those. The last few batches were five or six thousand, and the next few batches were tens of thousands."
Lin Fufu nodded, grabbed Lin Fen's hand, and thanked him earnestly.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Fen patted Lin Fufu's hand, "I heard Saburo say something like, brothers work together to break gold. We sisters work together to break gold!"
The hands of the three sisters were tightly held together again.
Under Lin Fen's insistence, Lin Fufu only accepted the banknote of 1,500 taels of silver, and put the rest on Lin Fen.
Lin Fufu took out three more one-hundred tael banknotes and put them in Lin Fang's hand, "Sister Fang, you keep these, and you can use this for whatever you want to buy in the future."
Lin Fang tightly held the bank note that Lin Fufu handed over, and nodded heavily.
"Ah, by the way, since we are the ones who want to sell snacks in the shop, shouldn't Manager Xu deliver some less every day?" Lin Fen asked.
Lin Fufu nodded, "We can't do too much in one day. From tomorrow onwards, let's give him three hundred catties for each item. It depends on what you can do, and don't do it if you don't have time. "
"Well, then it's settled like this. A Fang and I are ready for tomorrow, and we will send it to Manager Xu tomorrow morning." Lin Fen said.
Lin Fufu nodded, feeling that the sisters were too hardworking, and she was also under pressure.
"Also, we can't do this at home. It's better to build a few more pots and stoves in the back hall of the shop, and then we ask trustworthy people to help us do these." Lin Fang added.
Lin Fufu thought about it and felt that what they said was very good, and they were trustworthy people. This is a bit troublesome.
But Lin Fufu felt that Da Ya Niang and Da Ya Second Aunt could come over.
Because the last time I went back, I heard from Nanny Qin that there was nothing left to do with the milk of the second aunt, and there was not enough milk for her family, so Grandma Li helped find a new nanny.
Auntie Da Ya now sees that the whole family can earn wages, and she is anxious about something.
There are also some sister-in-laws from Feng's natal family. Lin Fufu also thinks that they are good, but who should be invited, Lin Fufu thinks it is better to listen to Sister Lin Fen's opinion.
"Then who do you think is the right person to ask for help?" Lin Fufu asked, and then mentioned all the people she was thinking of just now.
Both Lin Fen and Lin Fang fell into deep thought, and finally Lin Fen said: "Let's find three people first. I think the second aunt is clean and neat, and she has a tight mouth. She is one of them. My aunt and I The cousin of the second uncle's family can also."
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fang.
Lin Fang nodded, "These people are very tight-lipped. Since they have earned this salary, they won't talk nonsense outside. We will also tell them in advance not to go out and talk nonsense. It must be okay."
Seeing that the sisters had the same opinion, Lin Fufu said with a smile: "Let's leave it to you to deal with it, and I will leave it alone."
Lin Fen and Lin Fang looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Lin Fen said solemnly: "Don't worry about Gospel, we can do well."
Lin Fufu reminded her again: "Sister Fen, don't forget that you have to go to Liuji Restaurant to learn from their big shopkeeper every dinner." After speaking, he looked at Lin Fang and said, "Sister Fang is fine. You can follow."
"Hey, the shopkeeper is busy enough to teach my sister, how can he have time to teach me?" Lin Fang remembered that the fat shopkeeper of Liuji Restaurant was so busy that he wished he had three hands. want to laugh.
"Then you have learned it, so help him if you can. Besides, you don't need him to teach you." Lin Fufu means to let them learn by themselves, and she also knows Liuji Restaurant The shopkeeper is busy.
The two sisters also understood, laughing and playing for a while.
"Fufu, then do the math carefully, how much money have we earned in the past few days?" After the two of them rested, Lin Fen asked Lin Fufu.
"Yes, let's see how much money we are short of buying the restaurant in Qinglian County." Lin Fang also said.
Lin Fufu also told the two sisters about his plan to buy Mrs. Jiang's eight big shops in Qinglian County.
The two sisters are now obsessed with earning money to buy the eight big shops.
Seeing the bright eyes of the two, Lin Fufu said with a smile: "I've already thought about this several times in my heart, and I plan to buy a big house in the county for us to live in later, so I'm selling it today. The money for snacks, biandan and preserved eggs is almost enough to buy that big house."
This means that all the money I have worked hard these days has been used to work on the house in Qinglian County, and now I have very little left.
Lin Fufu thought that the two sisters would be disappointed when they heard the news, but they just nodded.
Lin Fen said with a smile: "Gospel, it's a good thing to buy a house first."
"Yeah, I heard Brother Dalang say that buying a half-house in the county is more difficult than going to heaven. You can buy the gospel, which is a great thing!" Lin Fen Excited too.
"That's because Lin Dalang is worthless. He doesn't have the ability to earn money, so he said that. As long as he has money, why can't he buy a house? Even if he has money, he can buy a house in the capital." Lin Fufu laughed.
I hate Lin Dalang more and more.
The next day, when Lin Fufu woke up, Sister Lin Fen had already gone out to do errands.
After washing up, she went to the kitchen, where sweet potato porridge was warmed in a large pot, with a layer of hot and fragrant saozi, which Lin Fen specially reserved for her.
After she finished her breakfast, she just walked out of the courtyard, and when she wanted to go to the Li Family Medical Center to buy some useful medicinal materials, there was a hasty knock on the door.
After opening the door, what I saw was Mother Qiu who was next to Mrs. Song I met yesterday.
"Oh, Miss Lin actually has such a big and magnificent house in this town?" As soon as Lin Fufu opened the door, Mother Qiu put her head in the yard and looked greedily.
To be honest, she really couldn't believe that this was Lin Fufu's house, but after asking all the way, Lin Fufu did indeed live in this house.
After staying in the inn for one night, Mrs. Song felt uncomfortable everywhere, so she asked Madam Qiu to deliver letters to Mr. Wang's house, because Mrs. Song's husband Song Li, the prime minister of Ningxian County, and the father-in-law of the great aunt of the Wang family used to be Colleagues, the two have a good personal relationship, so it is normal for Mrs. Song to come to see the Wang family when she is in Qingyang Town.
When the Wang family heard that the wife of the magistrate of Ning County lived in an inn in the town with her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson who had already given birth, they took it very seriously and sent the best carriage in the family to bring Mrs. Song's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law He and his children were taken to the other courtyard of Wangfu.
Ms. Song was like Mrs. Wang when she talked about Lin Fufu delivering her daughter-in-law. Seeing such a coincidence, Mrs. Wang hurriedly told Mrs. Song about Lin Fufu helping the ladies and ladies in the town to see a doctor.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Song also wanted to get along with Lin Fufu, so she sent Qiu's mother to send Lin Fufu a big red envelope early in the morning.
That's why Qiu's mother found Lin Fufu here.
"Miss Lin, our wife said that she has done a great favor to our family, and this red envelope is to thank her." Mother Qiu said.
Lin Fufu said you're welcome, so he accepted the red seal.
Mother Qiu glanced at the red envelope that Lin Fufu received with some reluctance, thought about what her wife said, and relayed what Mrs. Song said to Lin Fufu: "Our eldest grandson was born here today. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the three washings, so my wife said that I can wait until the ninth day. On that day, my wife will send a carriage to pick up Miss Lin to watch the ceremony, and Miss Lin must go."
Lin Fufu frowned. At this time, she was busy with business matters, especially the cosmeceutical side. How could she go to Ning County to attend the "three washing" ceremony of that young master Sun.
"Our wife asked me to tell Ms. Lin that Miss Lin's good medical skills cannot be lost in vain. When you arrive in Ning County, Madam will help Ms. Lin introduce you to those respectable wives in Ning County." See There was a look of hesitation in Lin Fufu's eyes, Qiu's mother cursed Lin Fufu in her heart for not knowing what to do, and continued to relay what her master said to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu's heart moved, Mrs. Song was not that kind of enthusiastic person, her shrewd appearance couldn't escape her eyes, but why did she want to please her? Want to introduce her to those respectable ladies in Ning County?
