Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"Mom, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Mom, I was wrong!"

After returning home, both children admitted their mistakes to Xia Shengsheng.

Sicheng watched from the side, confused.

Xia Shengsheng asked several children to sit next to her.

“You didn’t do anything wrong in this matter, but that doesn’t mean you did it completely right.

Liu Zhongqiang cursed you and your mother and said bad words, so it is right for you to teach him a lesson.

But before you do anything, think about whether you can bear the consequences.

I can’t clean up your mess all my life.

This time you just paid some money for the medicine, but if you meet someone stronger than you next time, will you still be able to fight him head-on like this?

No matter what you do in the future, you must use your brains and think carefully about what consequences will arise if you do this?

The road ahead is still long, and there will be many injustices.

If you can't solve it, you should also have the ability to digest it yourself, instead of just picking up your fists and hitting them blindly."

Seeing the children nod in confusion, Xia Shengsheng touched their heads.

Xia Shengsheng said this just because he was afraid that they would suffer losses if they encountered tough opponents in the future.

So before doing anything, I hope they can use their brains to think carefully about whether it is worth doing.

Will it cause harm to myself if I do it?

Now that everything had been explained, and the two children came back so early today, Xia Shengsheng caught all the little laborers.

We went to work in the fields together.

Of course, I will definitely reward them well in the evening.

…………

The pepper seeds finally sprouted on the sixth day, and it seems that the effect is particularly good.

Xia Shengsheng quickly planted them in the cleared field.

I was busy for another two days, and finally after eight days, I planted the peppers.

Xia Shengsheng was so tired that she could hardly straighten her back.

At this moment, he really wanted to rush into Lao Liu's house, beat up those people lying on the kang, and force them to find work for him.

Village chief Ma would visit Xia Shengsheng's fields every day. Although he couldn't see anything special at the moment, he would feel itchy if he didn't take a look.

Xia Shengsheng didn't even need to patrol the fields. Village Chief Ma would definitely tell her if there was any situation.

On the 12th day of operation, the vermicelli factory turned all 5000 kilograms of potatoes into vermicelli.

A total of 290 kilograms of potato flour and 235 kilograms of sweet potato flour were produced.

Because the work had to be temporarily suspended, Xia Shengsheng paid the ten people their wages first.

Xia Shengsheng will have to go to the provincial capital to check on the next day of work and decide on the sales situation of vermicelli.

When the wages were paid, not only were the wages for Ma Dajia and Li Erjia increased as agreed upon previously.

I also gave two people an extra 20 cents and 10 eggs.

After all, the two of them took turns making lunch for Xia Shengsheng for several days.

"What are you doing? Do you still want to associate with us in the future? It's just a few meals. We just made some ready-made dishes. If you dare to pay me, I won't talk to you anymore when I see you in the future."

"That's right. We've been together for such a long time. Besides when we're at work, we're also friends in private. This shouldn't be allowed."

Xia Shengsheng finally had no choice but to take back the 20 cents, but the eggs had to be received by two people.

The two of them couldn't refuse anymore, so they accepted the things and left happily.

The wages of a few hundred cents made everyone very happy.

Everyone hoped that Xia Shengsheng could sell the vermicelli quickly so that they could go back to work and continue to earn wages.

Yiyi and Shanshan have also been gone for 13 days.

Today is the last day of the month. Xia Shengsheng went to the provincial capital to sell vermicelli. He will pick up the two of them back in the evening to stay for two days.

Don't delay either.

Ye Chao and Er Cheng have one day off every seven days. This time it didn't happen to be their day off, so I didn't take them with me to the provincial capital.

Xia Shengsheng prepared food for the poultry at home.

There was also some extra food in Xiaotian Dog's bowl.

After locking all the doors, he gave the key to the front door to Ma Kui's wife and asked her to help feed the kids at noon.

He took Sicheng and 100 kilograms of potato flour and 100 kilograms of sweet potato flour to the provincial capital.

I didn’t know if I could sell the vermicelli in the city, so I didn’t bring all of it with me.

Otherwise, if they can’t be sold, the car won’t be able to accommodate so many people when we get back.

"Mom, why don't you sell it in the village first? We don't have to transport it so far away."

Sicheng really loves eating vermicelli, and he thinks that the villagers will definitely like what he likes. He doesn't quite understand why his mother insisted on taking the vermicelli to the provincial capital to sell it.

"Why? To make money!

I plan to sell this vermicelli for at least 100 wen per pound. Do you think anyone in our village would be willing to spend this much to buy vermicelli?"

Sicheng's jaw dropped in shock. More than 100 wen? Even if he bought rice and flour, he could still buy seven or eight kilograms!

Who would be willing to give up seven or eight kilograms of rice and white flour and buy vermicelli that costs more than 100 wen per kilogram?

Sicheng couldn't help but ask Xia Shengsheng if it could be sold at this price?

Seeing that Sicheng was so interested, Xia Shengsheng explained his ideas to him in detail.

Vermicelli has just been launched, why not take advantage of this opportunity to sell more silver? Then how can we make money in the future?

Xia Shengsheng has calculated that ten kilograms of potatoes or sweet potatoes can produce about one kilogram of vermicelli.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested now are three cents per pound. Xia Shengsheng mixed in a lot of potatoes that cost more than one dollar per pound, and only a small amount of sweet potatoes, because the sweet potatoes sold in the supermarket are very expensive, more than five dollars per pound.

Some of the cheaper ones that cost more than three yuan were in very poor condition and had some rotten parts, so Xia Shengsheng did not buy them.

So in total, the cost of one pound of vermicelli is about 20 cents.

Xia Shengsheng wanted to set the price at 100 Wen.

Excluding costs and wages for workers, she can earn at least 60 cents, which is a good price.

When vermicelli is developed and the production method is figured out in the future, not only will it be sold in large quantities on the market, but every household will be able to make it themselves.

By then, the price will drop very low and you will basically not be able to make any money.

So the first thing to do in business is to earn that unique profit.

You should also dare to ask for a price, but without going too far in cheating others.

"Ah! Mom, you are so awesome! I think what you said makes a lot of sense..."

Sicheng kept flattering them, but neither of them expected it.

I spent the whole day wandering around the city, but there wasn't a single store that wanted to buy Xia Shengsheng's vermicelli.

Xia Shengsheng even found a few restaurants and said he wanted to prepare some vermicelli dishes on the spot.

They actually didn't agree with what Xia Shengsheng wanted to do, and not even a pound of vermicelli was sold.

I was kicked out several times.

Xia Shengsheng didn’t know what to do.

Looking at Sicheng who was sitting aside and sighing.

The admiration in his eyes for Xia Shengsheng's magnificent explanation just now was slowly disappearing.

"Actually, there are always setbacks in everything! Just take it slow! Hehe..."

Xia Shengsheng could only smile awkwardly.

In order not to make Xia Shengsheng sad, Sicheng put a smile on his face again and continued to flatter her.

"Mom is right. As long as I'm here, the vermicelli will definitely sell. Just take your time!"

Xia Shengsheng was touched by Sicheng's thoughtfulness, but she still felt a little depressed.

Before I came out, I was still fantasizing that the vermicelli I brought out would not be enough to sell.

And there will be a lot of people who will place orders with her for thousands of kilograms.

She will have to work hard after she returns.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by reality.

This is different from what was expected.

"Go pick up your two sisters first! It's getting late."
