The first is the problem of fire.

If you want to make noodles, you have to light a fire, but now you don’t have the money to find a stove.

The problem of noodles is easy to solve. You can make handmade ramen, which is made on the spot and looks hygienic. The other problem is the stall.

It seems that in addition to training the horses tomorrow, I also need to set up the stall.

The next day, Xu Wenyan asked Chen Sanlin to set up a stall.

The height is about the same as Chen Sanlin's waist, and it is made into a hollow table to place things underneath.

Moreover, Xu Wenyan also knew how to solve the problem of fire source. He took out a large pottery jar and slowly hollowed out a part of the bottom with a carving knife so that he could make a fire inside.

If conditions get better later, you can rent a shop. For now, just make do with this. You can't invest all your capital before you can achieve any results.

While Chen Sanlin was building the stall, Xu Wenyan went to the mountains to find many flowers of different colors. He polished the wooden board in front of the stall and then painted a pattern on the board, which occupied the main body. Xu Wenyan also painted some other patterns in the gaps around it.

At that time, few people could read, so using paintings was more likely to attract customers.

This stall cannot be completed in a short time, so Xu Wenyan can only practice by himself and then teach Chen Sanlin slowly later.

Recalling what Wang Zeren had taught me before, I leaned over the horse and gently patted it with my legs, and Xiaohong started successfully. Pulling the left rein makes it go left, and the right rein makes it go right, and if you pull them together, it will stop.

"Isn't this also very difficult?" Xu Wenyan smiled, realizing that he was indeed gifted.

In fact, the main reason is that Xiaohong has already received training in the government. As long as you can master the skills of riding a horse, there will generally be no big problems. The most important thing now is to develop a good relationship with Xiaohong.

Xu Wenyan rode Xiaohong around the village.

Many villagers saw two horses heading towards Chen Sanlin’s house yesterday. Now, seeing Xu Wenyan riding out on a horse, they were really envious.

Such a strong horse cannot be bought at least thirty or forty taels.

"What are you trying to show off for?" Lu Dagang, who was helping work in the fields, glared at Xu Wenyan viciously.

Captain Zhu left yesterday. Because they were punished, they cannot leave the village for the time being. I'm afraid they will have to settle in Jixiang Village in the future.

I was here under the scorching sun, turning over sweet potatoes, while that pretty boy who relied on men was riding a horse leisurely strolling around the village.

Lu Dagang had long suspected that Xu Wenyan and Wang Zeren were having an affair. She already had a man but she still didn't have the self-control to hook up with an official. What's the difference between this and prostitution?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Wenyan arrived at the foot of the mountain, where he saw three familiar figures, the Zeng siblings and Zheng Yuan.

"What are you three little guys doing?" Xu Wenyan got off the horse, tied Xiaohong to the tree next to him, and let Xiaohong eat grass by herself.

"Brother Xu!" Zeng Yuanyuan ran over and took Xu Wenyan's hand with a smile.

The other two children looked at Xiaohong with excitement.

"Xu, Brother Xu, is this your horse?" Zeng Hong walked over and looked at Xiaohong nervously. He wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

"Yes, from now on it will be called Xiaohong. Do you want to touch it?" After all, he is a child, and whatever he is thinking is reflected on his face.

"Ok!"

Xu Wenyan brought the three children to the front, telling them not to let them touch the horse's butt casually.

"When I grow up, I will buy a horse so that daddy and mommy won't have to carry me and my sister around." Zeng Hong said excitedly.

I saw several children, each carrying a small backpack, which looked newly made. There were some wild vegetables in the basket, mixed with some weeds.

I guess he hasn't recognized all of them yet.

Xu Wenyan helped a few children clear the weeds out of the backpacks. When he saw Zheng Yuan, Xu Wenyan remembered the sauerkraut. If he wanted to sell it, he would at least have to ask Zheng Liwei and his wife.

After all, the sauerkraut can only be made with the mother water in their tank: "You have found almost everything, I will take you back."

"real!"

The three children's eyes lit up instantly. Brother Xu said that he would definitely send them back on horseback, as they had never ridden a horse before.

"Of course, your brother Xu can deceive you three kids." Although he is already an uncle here, brother sounds better than uncle after all.

The children were put on the horses one by one, with the two girls' backpacks on both sides, and Zeng Hong at the end.

"You can hug a horse, but you can't pull its hair."

Is that it? Xu Wenyan took Xiaohong and sent the three children home.

The three little men on the horses have had smiles on their faces ever since they got on, making the children in the village very envious along the way.

The three children's homes lived close to each other, so Xu Wenyan directly pulled Xiaohong into the Zheng family's door.

"Hey, Brother Xu, why are you here?" Zheng Liwei put down his hoe and walked towards Xu Wenyan, obviously having just finished his work.

"I came to see you about something."

Zheng Liwei looked at the horse behind Xu Wenyan with envy in his eyes. Yes, who wouldn't be envious of having a horse at a time like this? If his career hadn't been ruined, he would have a carriage now.

"Brother Xu, come in and sit down and talk. Madam, go cook some more rice."

Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "No, I'll leave after discussing with you. I'm here for this pickled cabbage matter."

"Sauerkraut? Brother Xu, if you still want some, come and get it. My wife makes a lot of it."

"No, I want to sell it."

When he heard that it was going to be sold, Zheng Liwei calmed down and thought carefully.

Xu Wenyan said, "I'm buying from you because I didn't know the price on the first day. I won't know until I sell this jar."

Zheng Liwei nodded: "Well, it's okay, Brother Xu, you can sell it if you want, but this..."

"We'll split the sauerkraut harvest 60% and 40% respectively, 60% for me and 40% for you, how about that?" The price Xu Wenyan offered was considered high, and he could also provide them with some raw materials, such as bracken, toon, chili peppers and the like.

Xu Wenyan learned that their pickles mainly consisted of pickled radishes, cabbages and cowpeas, and they had not tried other vegetables yet.

But as a time traveler, Xu Wenyan naturally knows what tastes good when soaked and what tastes bad when soaked.

Zheng Liwei's expression changed slightly: "Of course, we can, but we might have to use this pickled cabbage to set up a stall in the future."

After a pause, Zheng Liwei said, "Brother Xu, how about this? I will supply you exclusively. You open this shop first, and when the business is good in the future, I will directly become your waiter. How about that?"

Hearing this, the waiter Xu Wenyan laughed: "Hahaha, I already have three waiters."

"Ah?" Zheng Li was visibly stunned: "Three waiters, they shouldn't need so many."

"It's not necessary to have so much. If my business is doing well, you can be the accountant." Xu Wenyan couldn't guarantee that he would make money, so he could only talk about it this way for now.

But Zheng Liwei is not a fool. He has already determined that Xu Wenyan can succeed. Based on his experience as an accountant for most of his life, he believes that the business Xu Wenyan is doing has business opportunities.

There is a high probability that his investment will not fail.

The most important reason was that even if Xu Wenyan failed, he would not suffer any loss. By selling his own sauerkraut, he was helping to promote himself.

If the sales of this sauerkraut are good, there will be no worries about selling it in the future. If the sales are not good, we will have to consider changing our approach.

In this way, the two of them reached an agreement, and Xu Wenyan took a jar of pickled vegetables and left.

Next we will see how the sales volume will be tomorrow.
