Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Because I know there may not be many crabs in the mountains now.

Xu Wenyan didn't have high expectations, so he didn't go out until the next morning, and this time he only brought Chen Sanlin with him.

Just as expected, they only found seven crabs after searching for more than half an hour. Xu Wenyan saw that Chen Sanlin's hands were frozen red.

“Okay, Brother Sanlin, let’s just chop some firewood and go back. It’s so cold now that the crabs won’t come out.

Chen Sanlin nodded and rushed to Xu Wenyan from behind and led him up the mountain.

There are some woods in the forest that Chen Sanlin cut last year. They were piled up here to dry, and they can be harvested this year.

After cutting down the branches on the main trunk, Chen Sanlin carried a piece of wood on each shoulder and prepared to go back.

Xu Wenyan tied up the chopped branches and carried them on his back.

"Put it down, I'll carry it later." Chen Sanlin said to Xu Wenyan who looked a little embarrassed.

He weighed the firewood on his shoulders and said, "I can do it. You can't be the only one doing the hard work at home."

Chen Sanlin wanted to say something when Xu Wenyan pushed him forward.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. I'm still carrying it. I'm so tired."

The persimmon cakes at home have already taken shape, and they are also being dried at night because the fireplace is burning.

After drying at home for another four days and keeping them in storage for a week, a thin layer of frost has formed on the persimmon cakes. They are sweetest when eaten at this time.

Xu Wenyan has already made up his mind. He plans to sell the persimmon cakes for five cents each. Since persimmon trees are common and everyone knows about them, it would be a bad idea to set the price too high, as it would be difficult to sell them.

But in fact, selling them for five cents is already a good profit, and you can make a lot of money by selling this whole room full of persimmon cakes.

The next morning, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin went to the county again. Rong Xiaoliu had not come to see him these days, so Xu Wenyan thought that he had misjudged him and there was nothing to complain about.

He rented a table at the restaurant next door for two cents a day, then Xu Wenyan put out the persimmon cakes and started shouting again.

"Come and have a look, these freshly made persimmon cakes are good for moistening the lungs, relieving coughs and facilitating bowel movements! Come and have a look..."

Xu Wenyan had just called out a few times when a young man came.

"Hey, little brother. It's you again. Why aren't you selling crabs today?"

Xu Wenyan also recognized this young man. Wasn't this the person who came to ask when he first set up a stall to sell crabs?

"The crabs are sold out. We won't be selling crabs today. Come and have a look at our persimmon cakes. How about them? I guarantee they're delicious!" Xu Wenyan held up a string of persimmon cakes, which looked like little lanterns, and everyone was really surprised.

This young man had bought crabs to eat last time. The taste was indeed unique. Moreover, the Baihualou behind also started selling crabs, also steamed, but they were several times more expensive.

The young man felt that he had made a profit just thinking about it, and originally wanted to go back to Xu Wenyan to buy crabs, but he was gone. This time he was happy to see them, thinking that he could eat crabs again, but he refused to sell them.

"Forget it, forget it. I trust you. I'll buy two to try." The young man took out his wallet and asked again, "How much?"

"Five cents a piece."

The young man hesitated, obviously thinking it was a bit expensive, but he couldn't just put the money back after he had already taken it out of his wallet, not to mention that so many people were watching, it would be too embarrassing.

"Uh, okay, give me two."

Xu Wenyan happily used scissors to cut two for the young man. This was also the first order.

After the young man left, more and more people gathered around, but most of them were there because they heard what Xu Wenyan said. A persimmon cake cost five cents, and a meat bun only cost three cents, so it was indeed a bit expensive.

Xu Wenyan knew that he had to take the initiative at this time, otherwise the crowd would disperse after a while.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Wenyan stared at a middle-aged woman wearing a cloth dress with some patterns on it and said, "Auntie, buy a piece of persimmon cake to try. Our persimmon cakes are big and sweet. It's worth buying one." As he spoke, Xu Wenyan used his hands to split a piece of persimmon cake into four halves and gave one piece to the woman to try.

The woman saw that it was already handed to her, so she thought she would eat it if she didn't pay. But when she put it in her mouth, the soft, sweet taste of the persimmon burst out in her mouth. She had never eaten such a soft and sweet persimmon cake.

The woman's eyes instantly became clearer: "Pack two for me, so I can buy some for my child to try."

After seeing the transaction was successful, Xu Wenyan took advantage of the situation and gave them to a few people who looked a little better dressed. This really worked. People around him stopped waiting and bought one or two to try out something new.

Later on, Chen Sanlin could only help pick persimmons. He was so happy to see his wife making so much money. In fact, he could go hunting in winter to support his wife, but his wife was too capable.

Although only a small half of the backpack was sold in the morning, Xu Wenyan was content. He earned two taels of silver in one morning and could buy a lot of things for his family.

This time, Xu Wenyan bought a lot of salt and weighed a lot of meat to make bacon. He definitely wouldn't go out in the winter, and if he couldn't eat meat, he would rather die. He had to buy more salt, even though it was expensive, he had to use it.

However, in Xu Wenyan's memory, making salt is not difficult, but it is sold at such a high price, which shows how high the profit is.

It was cold and even the cows were a little lazy. This time it took half an hour longer than usual to get back. Xu Wenyan also felt that it was time to speed up the process.

He gave Xiaohu and Old Lady Zhang eight hundred and fifty as wages for processing the persimmons, which was already a high price. By now, Xu Wenyan had spent all his money, except for the two taels he had left with Chen Sanlin to prevent himself from being too impulsive.

These two taels of money will really be life-saving money in the future.
