Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 7 Going to Town to Shop
Zhang thought Li Mingxia wanted to go out and relax, and was afraid that she would not be willing to buy anything, so she kept reminding her.
"Got it, mother. If you see some of these red fruits when you go out, pick some and bring them back. I'll need them!"
It was already noon when Li Mingxia arrived at the town according to the route she remembered. She first found a grocery store to find out the market prices of the things she needed. The clerk was a nice one. He did not look down on Li Mingxia because she was not well dressed. He carefully answered all of Li Mingxia's questions.
"A pound of white sugar is eight cents, and brown sugar is cheaper, six cents. This kind of bath beans is what the wives of the rich families in the town like to use, and a bag of them costs fifty cents."
Li Mingxia nodded as he listened, and had already made up his mind, "Give me two pounds of sugar, a bag of pine nut candy, and the needles and threads I asked about just now, and help me pack them, thank you, brother Xiaoer."
Originally the clerk had not expected Li Mingxia to buy anything, but when he heard that the deal had been made, he immediately became delighted and ran to help Li Mingxia prepare what she wanted.
"The total is thirty-nine copper coins. Take it, girl." The waiter handed a paper bag to Li Mingxia, and she counted out thirty-nine copper coins and handed them to the waiter.
After going out, Li Mingxia walked forward along the street. When he passed by a bun shop, he bought six buns for 18 cents. After thinking about it, he went to buy half a pound of pork. When he saw some offal, he added two copper coins to buy it.
After this trip, Li Mingxia had a general understanding of the prices in the town. Finally, he bought a silk flower for each of his two sisters on the roadside for six cents, and then went home contentedly.
Although the thatched hut they live in now is a little shabby, Li Mingxia thinks it has one advantage, that is, it is a little distance away from the center of the village and not too noisy. Thinking about tonight's menu and the next money-making plan, Li Mingxia feels that she is full of energy and vitality!
"Sister! You're back!"
"Sister! Why did you come back just now?"
The three little kids were playing in the yard. When they saw Li Mingxia coming back, they all ran over and chattered non-stop.
Li Mingxia wiped the sweat off their heads, took out the bag of pine nut candy that had been divided into four portions from her pocket, and gave one portion to each of them. "Big sister bought this for you, eat it. Mom and I have saved some for you, so no one needs to save any for anyone else. Eat it quickly!"
When had the three children ever eaten pine nut candy in the Li family before? Only the people in their eldest uncle’s family could eat it, and they could only watch. They might even get scolded if they watched for too long. Can they eat candy now?
Li Zhengde picked up a pine nut candy and put it in his mouth. It was delicious and sweet, but not as good as the one his elder sister gave him that day.
"Mom! I'm back!" When Li Mingxia came back with those things, Zhang was mending clothes for her sisters. There was a plate of red fruits on the kang, probably waiting for Li Mingxia to come back and eat them.
"Mom, I bought these needles, threads and cloth because they were cheap and could be used at home. And this, let's keep the brown sugar and mix it with water for drinking, and eat the meat buns in the evening. I'll cook some soup in the evening, and this white sugar..."
Zhang felt a little painful when she saw Li Mingxia taking out things one by one, but when she thought that she had already told her eldest daughter how to use the money, she simply stopped thinking about it.
"This white sugar is the key to turning red fruits into delicious food that we can sell for money!" Li Mingxia lowered his voice and said a few words to Zhang.
Zhang looked puzzled, but still nodded, "It's not difficult, I can make it. Okay, let's do whatever you say! Even if it can't be sold, things with sugar in them won't taste bad, just give it to you siblings to sweeten your mouths!"
Zhang is a person with a weak character and cannot be the head of the family, but she loves her children very much and can listen to other people's opinions. She will not act on her own just because of her status as a "parent", nor will she ask her children to "sacrifice" because of her cowardice. Such a person is rare, and Li Mingxia is content.
The job of cleaning the pig offal fell on Zhang. Old Mrs. Zheng loved to eat pig offal, and the Li family couldn't afford to eat meat often, so they would buy pig offal every now and then to cook. Zhang took on the task every time because she disliked others' unclean handling. After doing it many times, Zhang cleaned it quickly and cleanly, and even Old Mrs. Zheng couldn't find any fault with it.
Of course, there was nothing good to do with that half pound of pork, so Li Mingxia took out three pounds of pork from the space, chopped it up, and added flour to make pork meatballs. She planned to make a meatball soup, a spicy pork intestine, and a cold wild vegetable dish in the evening, and then bake a few cornmeal pancakes and a meat bun for each person!
After cleaning the pig's offal, Zhang came back and saw dozens of meatballs made from half a pound of pork in the pot. The corners of her mouth twitched. It seemed that she was really not suitable for cooking. No matter what her daughter cooked, it was as if she was blessed by the Kitchen God. One pound of meat could be used as five pounds of meat! In the future, she should help her daughter. Let Xia Jieer do the cooking.
"Mom, please watch the pot for me. I'm going to cook the pig offal." Li Mingxia handed the spoon in her hand to Zhang. She picked up the pot of pig offal and picked out a handful of chili peppers from the space.
Yes, this dynasty didn't even have a magical condiment like chili pepper. As for where the chili pepper came from, Li Mingxia said that she picked it up from the mountain and that she had seen someone in the town eat it before. Anyway, there was no way to verify it, and no one could say that she was lying!
The most important thing about spicy pork intestines is to put enough ingredients. Li Mingxia's space has all kinds of seasonings. She stir-fries the clean pork intestines over high heat. The aroma completely overwhelms the meatball soup. Zhang is attracted by the choking yet appetizing aroma, and can't help but come over. Looking at the pot of red pork intestines, she wonders what new thing her eldest daughter is cooking.
"In the old house, we always fried it before eating. Sister Xia, how did you make this? Why does it smell so pungent and fragrant?" Zhang sniffed the fragrance in the air, and her stomach, which was not very hungry to begin with, began to make noises.
"It will be ready soon, Mom. Please make some pancakes. Those few buns are not enough." Li Mingxia has mastered the art of talking about something irrelevant, and his hands move without pausing at all.
