The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

"How much money do you have?"

The village chief asked, and if it was not enough, he would arrange for every family in the village to donate some money as a subsidy. After all, the children grew up under his nose, so he would help if he could.

“How much does it usually cost?”

This touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. She didn't know how much it would cost to build a house here, and it was impossible for her to use all the money she had to build a house.

"A house like my grandfather's, with a main house, two side rooms on the east and west sides, plus a courtyard wall, would cost five taels of silver if it were a reed-bamboo house, and fifteen taels of silver if it were a brick-and-wood house."

"Then we need brick and wood, all in one go. We just have to wait until after the autumn harvest to start the work. We can make some extra money during this time."

The village chief's heart skipped a beat. This prodigal child couldn't even afford food or drink in the house. But then he thought that the money they would have wouldn't be much different if they made this choice. Children have grown up and have their own ideas, so he didn't continue to persuade them.

After returning home and having a quick lunch, Lan Wangshu began to daydream. The three little ones sat around her, keeping her company quietly.

Lan Wangshu's mind was full of thoughts about finding a reasonable way to make a living. The problem now was that materials were too scarce in this era. If she just took something out of thin air and used it directly, it would be too conspicuous. Rare items could be pawned, but they could not be used as a long-term livelihood. She was really stumped for the moment.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? You've been in a daze."

Lan Wangyan tilted her head, very confused, and Lan Wangyu also looked at her with a questioning look.

"Sister is just thinking about what to eat tonight, you guys go and have fun."

She was not so cruel as to let the children think about how to make money, so she sent the man away. The two little ones looked at Lan Luochen, who nodded, and then they went out hand in hand to play with the other kids in the village.

Lan Wangshu looked at the big sun above his head with some annoyance, wishing he had some ice cream to eat.

ice cream?

How could she forget that she could sell ice snacks? The system had small items like ice cubes, jams, jellies, etc. She could just calculate the cost and sell them directly to the restaurant. She would only make money for one summer anyway, and she wouldn't attract too much attention if she didn't show up in person. It was reasonable for her to make some quick money by selling these unique items.

Ask her to think about how ice is made in the novel. It seems that saltpeter is used, and it is said that it can be found near the toilet.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Lan Wangshu got up, went into the kitchen, took out a wooden bowl and a bamboo stick, and walked towards the toilet without looking around.

Lan Luochen was left alone with a dull look in his eyes, full of disbelief. He couldn't understand in his little head what a person was doing in the toilet with a bowl in his hand. Sister, please don't be upset, you can't eat that.

"Sister, don't be impulsive. Don't be anxious if you can't make money. Don't do anything stupid."

"what?"

Lan Wangshu looked confused. What stupid thing had she done? She looked at herself carefully and her head was filled with black lines in an instant. She understood what Lan Luochen meant. She was not a dog, so of course she was not going to eat.

"Sister is going to get something, you're overthinking it."

Lan Luochen nodded obediently, but still followed her worriedly. Lan Wangshu, who was standing not far from the toilet, covered his face with a piece of cloth, and walked in with a fearless look on his face.

As soon as he entered, Lan Wangshu almost vomited and felt like he couldn't open his eyes. He truly experienced what it meant to be eye-irritating. He forced himself to walk to the wall, scraped off a layer of white crystals, and then quickly left.

I walked into the yard, took off the cloth, and gasped for breath. It was really painful.

"Sister, what is this?"

Lan Luochen looked at the things in the wooden bowl and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that his sister wanted to eat this? Then he frowned, thinking that this was not good. Forgive him for only being able to think of food when he saw the bowl.

"You don't understand, this is saltpeter. Go get two basins that can be put together, and get some water."

Lan Luochen did as he was told and moved quickly. He came back after a while. Lan Wangshu dissolved a little saltpeter in the water in the large basin, stirred it for a while, and observed the reaction in the small ceramic basin.

Nitrate solution dissolves in water and absorbs heat, right? That should be the principle, but no one told her that the operation was so difficult. She had to keep adding saltpeter in batches, and getting ice was very slow.

It's really hard for her as a liberal arts student. She has to give back to the teacher what she learned in junior high school. It's okay if she can succeed with some effort. So let it be. Whoever wants to make ice can make it. There will be a reason for it when the time comes. If someone really doesn't mind the trouble, they can sell the method and it will also be a source of income.

She planned to use the snow lotus ice cubes and jam marshmallows in the system to make ice porridge and add milk. If she could buy taro balls and sago, it would seem that it would be good too.

"It's time to make some money and go shopping."

[Here I am, host. Please come in. 】

Lai Qian'er was quiet for a long time, but when he saw that his host was ready to make money, he immediately became very servile.

Lan Wangshu searched for a long time and bought everything she wanted. She bought purple sweet potatoes and tapioca flour for the taro balls, which she needed to make herself.

After shopping, she rubbed her temples lazily.

"Lai Qian'er, you really should set up a keyword search for this system. It's too hard to search, and my head is starting to hurt."

[That makes sense. I’ll give you some feedback. Sizzle…]

He picked up a small wooden stick and scratched the ground. Although it was clearly a sandbox made for him, Lan Luochen was reluctant to move it.
