Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

“There’s beef here!”

"Yes, ma'am, this beef has been specially reported and was freshly slaughtered this morning. It's also half price."

The servant introduced it cleverly.

"Weigh 5 kilograms for me. My son loves beef the most. He can't get enough of it. Today it's half price. Buy more."

"Okay, I'll weigh it with you."

"Give me five pounds of mutton."

"Give me 4 pounds of pork."

"What is this red fruit with white dots?"

"Madam, this is the strawberry that we just planted in our farm. It came from outside the Great Wall. It is very sweet. Please try it."

The servant picked one and handed it to the lady who was asking the question.

The lady covered her mouth with her sleeve embarrassedly and tasted it.

"Yeah, not bad, this is really delicious. How much is it?"

"Strawberries are 18 cents a pound, but today they are half price, only 9 cents."

“It’s a bit expensive.”

The lady shouted.

How much does pork cost per pound?

"Madam, we are the only one in the capital to have this strawberry. Even many wives of officials have never tasted it. If you eat it, you will be the only one in the capital."

The servant quickly started to fool around.

"Okay, give me a pound."

"Okay. I'll weigh it for you right away!"

Fortunately, there was a lot of goods prepared, all the meat from the slaughtered livestock had been delivered, and there were also many vegetables and fruits.

The cook was also introducing various dry goods and approximate cooking methods.

Thanks to the half-price offer, by the evening, except for some vegetable leaves and fruits, all other fresh fruits and vegetables were sold out.

Even the basket of eggs that I brought were all sold out because they were sold at half price.

Sure enough, the word "half price" is a fatal attraction to people.

Fortunately, the half-price ones are all self-produced, so I may make less profit, but I won’t lose money.

Because on the first day, what was sold were vegetables, fruits, dried vegetables, etc., and high-end supplements such as bird's nests were not sold.

Because the medicinal food was half price, we ordered 9 pots.

All are packed away.

The most popular item is Angelica and Morinda officinalis mutton soup, because it was mentioned in the introduction that it can nourish the kidneys, so it is the most popular item.

Sold 6 pots.

These ladies really love their men.

The medicinal meals are all in large casseroles, depending on the ingredients. The cheapest one is 2000 wen per pot, and today it is half price at 1000 wen.

Tonight's turnover is more than 80 taels of silver, including 1 cow, 1 sheep, 1 pig, 10 chickens and ducks, and more than 30 bottles of chili sauce.

The rest are the prices of miscellaneous vegetables and fruits.

There weren't many fruits left, just a few pounds of each.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave some to a few people in the store, and had the rest sent to the dessert shop to be distributed to the employees there.

The fresh food store closes early, after dinner time.

Zhao Yuanzhen told Zhuangzi to kill another batch of livestock and send them over tomorrow.

If you can’t sell it tomorrow, send it to the canteen.

The fresh food shop was closed, so Zhao Yuanzhen went back to the beauty salon to rest.

The beauty salon has been open for almost 2 years. Now more and more people are staying overnight here, some to clear their minds, and some to play mahjong together.

Zhao Yuanzhen found an empty tatami and took a rest.

She was going to go to the censor's house in the evening to take a look.

At around 12 o'clock, Zhao Yuanzhen got up and quietly went to the Censorate.

This Censorate is a little different from what she imagined.

How should I put it? It's too shabby.

The yard is not small, but there are not many buildings. It has two entrances, the outer yard in the front and the inner yard in the back.

The entire mansion is very simple, not like an official's residence.

Zhao Yuanzhen found the censor's room with doubts and put a sleeping bug on him to make him unconscious.

Then he asked the system to scan his information.

"This bastard, he's just pretending."

After reading the censor's message, Zhao Yuanzhen really wanted to spit at him, what a bastard.

This bastard pretends to be honest and incorruptible, but his mansion looks extremely poor.

In fact, he secretly abused his power to extort money everywhere. If he caught the slightest flaw in someone, he would blackmail them crazily. Otherwise, he would perform his duties and impeach and report them.

Generally, those who do not want to be impeached will chat privately.

He opened many shops privately, and most of them were plundering.

His base is not in this mansion, but in another courtyard.

Zhao Yuanzhen scanned his mansion and found nothing valuable, but there were account books and letters in the study.

Zhao Yuanzhen took it away without hesitation.

After collecting the evidence, Zhao Yuanzhen went back.

Zhuangzi is in the suburbs of Beijing. The city gates are closed. Let's go early tomorrow morning.

After entering the space, I read the account books and various letters, and copied the account books.

After packing up the rest, she put on her invisibility cloak and went to the former Third Prince’s residence, where she threw the things into the yard.

There were secret guards in the mansion. Zhao Yuanzhen watched the secret guards come over to check the situation, then picked up the account book and left.

These secret guards belong to His Majesty. I believe they will be handed over to His Majesty before the morning court session.

She was very careful when taking the letters, and it was estimated that the censor would not be able to find them for a while.

When the city gates open tomorrow morning, I will collect some things before His Majesty confiscates my property.

She didn't return to the shop.

I found a secluded place near the city gate and fell asleep in the space.

She set the alarm for 5 o'clock. When the alarm rang, she was a little dazed, and then she remembered that she had to collect the debt.

Wash up and wake yourself up.

He left the space and headed out of the city.

It took more than half an hour to reach the censor's farm.

It’s really a big village.

The manor covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres and is magnificently built. Zhao Yuanzhen started the treasure hunt and began to collect treasures according to the scanned treasure locations.

The people in the village had already woken up by then, but Zhao Yuanzhen was wearing an invisibility cloak, so he was able to commit the crime smoothly.

While collecting, he compared it with the account book. Those in the account book were left unchanged, and those that were not in the account book were all taken away.

He took half of the silver, more than 800 taels, and it was all in cash, with no banknotes.

This bastard might prefer silver.

He collected a lot of various ornaments, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and sold them all. He exchanged them for 2190 million points. Apart from some miscellaneous customizations, Zhao Yuanzhen didn't spend much points recently, and still had more than 1.82 million points.

She was much closer to her goal.

After collecting Zhao Yuanzhen, he left. I guess the emperor's order to confiscate his property is about to arrive.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yuanzhen entered the city gate, he found an army heading quickly towards the outskirts of Beijing.

Censor, you are finished. I have reported you to His Majesty, and His Majesty's decree has come down. You should wait for beheading and your family will be exiled.

Zhao Yuanzhen considered giving half of the censor's property to His Majesty as a benefit to the country and the people and to bring welfare to the people of the world.

The more money the treasury has, the better life will be for the people and the soldiers will have enough to eat.

Yawning, he slowly went to the fresh food shop.

Today is not half price, Zhao Yuanzhen wants to see the customer flow.

The customer flow is pretty good, basically the same as yesterday. Although it is not half price, it is still market price, the same as the market price. Moreover, the items in Zhao Yuanzhen’s shop are not only fresh but also diverse. You don’t have to squeeze in the market.

Therefore, everyone chose Zhao Yuanzhen’s fresh food shop.

There is another advantage of selling things in the shop. They don’t have to go to each stall one by one. This shop has everything they need. Not only that, but more than other places, including fine salt and various seasonings.

If Zhao Yuanzhen knew what they were thinking, she would definitely tell them. This is called one-stop shopping.

By the evening, the turnover reached more than 190 taels.

Not bad.

It’s this beef. We can’t kill it every day anymore. It’s too troublesome to apply for it.

As for other livestock, Zhao Yuanzhen would buy more young ones and put them in the farm, ensuring that there would be enough for the family to eat every day.

I have to sell more than 100 kilograms of eggs a day, which is more than 700 eggs. I have to buy more chickens, or I can collect eggs from the village.

Some families in the village would save some and sell what they couldn’t finish.

The mushrooms also need to be harvested, and they are starting to appear now.

The next day, when Zhao Yuanzhen returned to the village, he went to find Wu Erping and told her that the mushrooms could be harvested, and the more delicious wild vegetables could also be harvested. The price was 3 cents per pound, and the distribution was the same as for mushrooms.

The fresh wild vegetables are put in the shop for sale, and the unfresh ones are all dried and sold in winter, so they will not be wasted.

When Wu Erping heard that she could make money by picking mushrooms again, she stood up immediately.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely give you a lot of money. Just wait at home. I will go door to door to tell them."

"Okay, sister-in-law, please let me know by the way, my family buys eggs, and the price is the same as at the market."

I don’t rely on eggs to make money, but I’m afraid that they won’t be available when people want them, which will affect the business of the shop, so I buy them at the market price.

Salted duck eggs can be sold in some shops.

The leftover duck eggs at home will be turned into salted duck eggs. Salted duck eggs are not eaten quickly, so you can take out half of them and sell them.

"Don't worry, I'll notify you later. If you need more, I'll tell the other villages as well."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, we are all family, why are you being so polite?"

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't stay long. Seeing Wu Erping's impatient look, she left quickly.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, Wu Erping ran to every household to notify them to collect mushrooms, wild vegetables and eggs.

Zhao Yuanzhen returned home and told Qian Xiaohui that the family had recently started collecting mushrooms and wild vegetables. She asked him to hire two servants to weigh and record the harvest every day.

All the collected mushrooms, except those sent to shops and used in workshops, are made into dried vegetables.

"Okay, mom, I got it, don't worry."

"Well, I'll leave it to you. I'm relieved. Zhijuan, you two can pick a few maids or old women when you have time. You can choose from your own family or buy them from a pawnshop. When the house is renovated and sent over there, you can train a few housekeepers to help manage things here or there."

The servants in the mansion must be carefully selected. At the very least, they should know the rules. Zhang Xinshu interacts mostly with his colleagues, and if he makes a mistake, he will be laughed at.

"Yes, mother, we understand."

"Well, good, as long as you two have an idea in mind, the house is big, and we need maids to do the rough work. Pick some good ones, and also pick some for Xin Shu. He is young and not old enough to get married. I am not often at home, so you sisters-in-law can help him take care of things."

"Mom, don't worry, we will take good care of our third brother."

"Well, you have been taking good care of me. I am relieved."
