Crossing the Unknown Country

Now we need to improve the tools and make a simple version of impact oil pressing. In fact, Su He had seen other oils when he went to Fengyu County last time, in the back kitchen of Fumanlou, but that kind of oil was too expensive. It was said that it was transported from a long distance, so all the oil sold outside was lard. It was just that it came from the south, so Su He knew that this era already had oil pressing technology, but it had not come here.

Su He is not worried about the oil pressing technology now. He just thinks it is better to keep a low profile in this place. It is enough for his family to support himself, and then he can open a workshop with the support of a big backer!

She knew that even now, opening an oil press workshop was still very conspicuous, and making money was no problem, but she was afraid that her family would not be able to keep the workshop. The Su family was too weak, so everything had to be done slowly, so many things were made just for their own use instead of being sold.

Su He thought that oil pressing was not urgent, so he would first make enough for his family. If not, he would not use it for breakfast. Anyway, he could make pan-fried buns and pancakes at home, and no one in the town would sell them. Even if there were many people selling them in the old world, it would depend on who tasted better and who could make money. It was even more so here, as every skill was not passed on to others and they had their own secret recipes.

Anyway, her own seasonings are more complete than those of other shops, and she believes that the pan-fried dumplings she makes will definitely be very attractive. As for the soy sauce and vinegar she makes, Dr. Jin and his family like them very much. Now the three families basically eat the ones she gives them, and they ask her for more when they run out!

After the meal, the Su He family got busy. Su He copied books to earn money, while Su He's parents continued to make noodles. They also had to prepare the quantity that Wang Xiaohu wanted.

Now there are only three of them left at home. Tomorrow, the family needs to chop firewood, feed the chickens, compost the chicken manure, check the fields, and make noodles. Su He discussed with his parents that they should buy firewood from the villagers, so that they can also earn some money and they don't have to work so hard. Su He's parents thought that they were too busy, so they agreed to find Wang Erbao tomorrow to ask him to help chop firewood and take care of their own people.

Don't bring firewood from the village when you go to the city. Just buy Tang Dabao's firewood if you need it. This way you can help him. Su He also plans to lend him money to buy a small cart so that he can bring more firewood back at a time, and they don't have to worry about buying firewood.

If the family is busy, they have to ask the villagers to help with farming. Otherwise, his parents have to sell breakfast and make noodles. It is too hard and exhausting. It is not worth it. If you can make money, you have to be willing to spend it. If you do everything yourself, you will be exhausted sooner or later.

When my uncle makes money, he has to hire a helper. Otherwise, he has to run back and forth to make tofu early in the morning, which is not a solution. If someone can help them grind the soy milk, and they only need to go over and order tofu, it will save a lot of effort.

In short, when your own business is getting bigger and bigger, you have to work hard if you are short of manpower. Instead of doing this, hiring someone is the best way. As for hiring someone, Su He's family has no such idea. Their family is a small business and they can't afford to support so many people.

When their business grows bigger and their yard is big enough, they can only follow the local customs and buy their own servants. After all, in this era, no one trusts servants rented from outside, and they can only feel at ease if they buy them themselves. They have no choice but to follow the crowd, otherwise how can they integrate into this society if they are out of tune with the crowd?

Su He was very tired today and went back to his room to rest early. Tomorrow he had to think about the oil pressing equipment again, and figure out a small one first. Otherwise, like today, if he pressed too much oil, his father would be exhausted.

Su He looked at his own little hands and feet and could only sigh. Who made him a child, he could only stay in this piece of land, and knew nothing about the outside world. The farthest he went was Fengyu City, which was a remote city in this country. He saw and heard too little, so he knew little about this country. There were many things that Su He didn't dare to do, but maybe they already existed in this world, but they were isolated from the news here.
