【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 125 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 5

Chicken feet, wing tips, chicken mid-wings, duck feet, and duck necks have always been very popular. They can be ordered from the slaughterhouse at a very low price of 2 yuan per pound, and the selling price is set at 2 yuan per pound.

And beef is a must.

The price of beef is 2 yuan per pound, and the price of braised beef is 8 yuan per pound.

Eggs are 1 yuan per pound, priced at 2 cents each and 3 cents for two.

Mushrooms, kelp, dried tofu, and bean curd skin are 0.2 yuan per catty. They don’t shrink much after being braised, so they are sold for 1 yuan per catty.

Radishes are 0.1 yuan per pound and sold at 8 cents per pound.

I plan to grow beans and potatoes in my own yard, and sell them for 5 cents per pound after braising.

……

After drawing up a table and recording all these, Yun Xi handed it to her two daughters-in-law to read. Wang Lili was well-educated and calculated that the time cost, labor cost, raw material cost and firewood cost accounted for about 40%, and the profit was more than 50%. This business could be done.

"Okay, the braised meat is almost done. Let's have a taste."

Yun Xi took out a piece of meat, cut it into slices, and ate it with steamed sweet potatoes. It was really delicious.

After confirming that the taste was good, the two daughters-in-law were very confident. They didn't even celebrate the Lantern Festival and started to prepare actively. They prepared a lot of things with 180 yuan. Yun Xi boiled water at home and cleaned the ingredients. Food safety issues must be taken seriously and people must eat well.

The braised meat is made up of three parts braising and seven parts soaking. In preparation for opening on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the meat should be braised at 11 o'clock the night before. Braise it over high heat for more than an hour and then over low heat for more than an hour. Soak it until six o'clock in the morning.

Wang Lili does the braised meat work in the evening, and rests at one o'clock in the morning until the next day. She gets up whenever she wants. Yun Xi and her eldest daughter-in-law do the business work the next day. They get up at four o'clock to knead the dough and mix the stuffing, and then take them to the village together.

The daughter-in-law carried the iron pot and wooden barrel for the braised meat, while Yun Xi brought the light items.

Before school starts, I asked Niu Niu and Dadan to go with me, and let Erwa stay at home to take care of his younger siblings.

While you are poor now, face the reality. When you make money in the future, you won’t have the chance to experience it even if you want to.

When she got to the street, Yun Xi found a street in front of a factory and started to put things away. This place was called Xiulin Street. There were factories, schools and seafood markets on this street. It could be said to be one of the more prosperous streets in the village. Many people seized the business opportunities and had already occupied the best locations, but the location of this street was really not bad.

Yun Xi occupied a spacious spot and asked her daughter-in-law to put down the iron pot and wooden barrel. "Wait here for a while. I'll go find some cardboard to write a sign and buy some plastic bags."

The weights were already there at home, so there was no need to buy them separately. However, plastic bags had to be bought, 100 for one dollar. Yun Xi asked for the two-dollar bags and gave them to her eldest granddaughter.

Simple and clear prices were written on the cardboard with chalk. Yun Xi found a few bricks to sit on and asked her eldest grandson to go to the roadside to act as a loudspeaker to attract customers.

An eight-year-old child is at the age of being extremely bold and not feeling shy at all. He stood by the roadside and started shouting loudly.

All kinds of rhymes and signature phrases come to mind.

Yun Xi was building a stove, and the firewood that her daughter-in-law picked up from the roadside was put to good use. She lit the fire and steamed the buns.

The amount of lard needed every day is not much, and there are not many oil residues either, so there are only thirty buns in a basket, no more.

The novel way of attracting customers and the aroma wafting from the pot quickly attracted some customers. Yun Xi opened the lid of the pot and the aroma became stronger. "Braised meat, braised vegetables and braised eggs, delicious and affordable. There are also fragrant big buns with oil residue. If you pass by, take a look. It's the first day of opening, spend more than ten yuan and get a free egg, while supplies last."

The prices on the sign seem a bit expensive at first glance, but the vegetables and offal are cheap. For students who haven't had breakfast, a bun and an egg are enough to fill them up. Adults can buy two buns and half a pound of vegetables to fill their stomachs. If you have money and time, half a pound of beef is also a good choice for breakfast.

She sells from morning until around two in the afternoon, and even most of the broth is scooped away by people. The business owners nearby exchange food with her. It's fine to exchange, but the recipe is not easy to figure out.

At noon, the four of them did not eat. After selling things, Yun Xi found a restaurant and went in to order some mutton soup, a big bowl for each person, and as many flatbreads as they wanted.

"Dadan did a good job this time. You can rest your throat. Niuniu will come to shout tomorrow." Yun Xi praised.

Dadan was extremely excited, "If my throat wasn't tired, I could shout even louder."

Zhao Guohong laughed at him, "No, it's not good to hurt your throat."

After dinner, Yun Xi brought flatbreads and mutton soup for her daughter-in-law and children at home. Since they didn't bring any bowls, Yun Xi asked them to scoop the soup directly into the wooden barrel and heat it up when she got home to eat.

When they got home, Wang Lili and the children had just woken up from their nap and were preparing to go buy ingredients. They had braised more than a hundred items last night, so they had to buy new ones today. Seeing them come back, she stared at Yun Xi expectantly.

Yun Xi waved her hand and said, "Let's go back to the house and count the money."

Each person received a handful of money and carefully counted it. The children also received their share. Two-year-old Sanwa, sitting in his mother's arms, grabbed a fifty-cent coin and waved it around. He didn't know what it was. Could he eat it? It seemed not.

After counting, everyone reported the number one by one, and the total amount sold was four hundred and thirty-six yuan.

Wang Lili said, "The cost is one hundred and eighty yuan."

Zhao Guohong said, "The meal cost four yuan."

"Not counting the costs of labor and firewood, I made 260 yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, I can earn more than 7,000 yuan a month." Yun Xi said in a low voice.

Zhao Guohong's eyes lit up, "Wow!"

Wang Lili didn't feel much about it. When her mother's family's boat was lucky, it could earn seven or eight hundred yuan a day. After deducting the cost of fuel and other things, the net profit was not small. Otherwise, how could they build a two-story building?

My mother also said that if my sister-in-law had many children, she would build a three-story house and give each child a room.

In comparison, this is not much.

Wang Lili said, "If we become famous, we won't have to sell our products outside. We can just do wholesale. That way we can make more money without having to travel."

Yun Xi was quite surprised that her daughter-in-law had a good business sense.

"That has to wait until the brand gets the word out. For now, don't even think about it. Remember to buy more pig intestines this time. They sell well."

Wang Lili asked: "Which vegetable is selling slowly?"

"The beef sold slowly. No one bought it at first, but then it sold out all at once," explained Zhao Guohong.

Wang Lili nodded to show that she understood.

Yun Xi took out two hundred yuan and asked her two daughters-in-law to go buy supplies. She went to boil water and prepare to clean up. The children helped to prepare the ingredients. It would take more than an hour to finish, so she could take a break in the afternoon.

"System, I realized that I am destined to be a hard worker."

The system quickly instructed her, "If you want to make a quick buck, that's fine. There are treasures hidden by smugglers and pirates at sea, as well as some hidden treasures. If you want to get them, I'll locate them for you."

"Forget it, let's get down to earth and live our lives. I still have a use for the teleportation talisman." Yun Xi asked it, "Did the original owner's husband and two children get into trouble? Are they really dead?"
