The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household
Chapter 79 Preparing for the Banquet
After lunch, Li Fu started working.
According to Jiang Sining's drawings, he began to make the frames of the doors and windows. Carpentry is a delicate job with very high requirements on size and no room for carelessness.
Li Fu's craftsmanship is also quite amazing. He is meticulous from the moment he cuts the materials and is completely immersed in the world of woodworking.
From his busy figure, Jiang Sining seemed to see himself in the past, and felt that it was the right decision to get his aunt and others to join in the winemaking business.
Two days later, the foundation was basically dry, and Uncle Li and his team came again and started laying bricks on the foundation.
Jiang Sining taught them how to sift fine sand, make cement mortar, and build hollow walls.
Uncle Li and his colleagues had never laid bricks like this or built a wall like this before, so it felt very new.
Considering that Jiang Sining cooked so many meat dishes for them every day, everyone worked very hard. They came before dawn and finished work only when it was pitch dark.
Three days later, the first layer of the wall was declared completed.
Next is the floor.
Without steel bars, Jiang Sining did not dare to use concrete floors, but instead chose to use thick wood as beams and then lay thick wooden boards on them.
This way the construction process is faster and the floor can be completed in two days.
The same process is applied to the upper layer, and the main beam can be put up on the eighth day.
But my uncle-in-law looked up the almanac and found that the auspicious time would have to wait one more day. Jiang Sining happened to be going to the market to buy some things for raising the beam and also to hold a banquet.
"Aunt, why don't you go and pick up Zhu Yatou while you're free today?"
Jiang Yaorong discussed it with Li Fu, and then let Jiang Yaorong go to the market with Jiang Sining to buy things, while Li Fu went home to pick up his daughter.
After catching up with Uncle Wu's ox cart, the two of them slowly came to the market.
My aunt is also from Gaochuan County, so she is very familiar with Gaochuan Village and is very good at managing the household.
"There are nine guests, plus our family, a total of 9 people, so we should prepare eight tables." Before they even got to the market, Jiang Yaorong helped Jiang Sining calculate the bill, "For each table, prepare four large meat dishes, four small meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and a soup. That should be enough."
The standard she mentioned was based on the premise that Jiang Sining was generous and not short of money.
But Jiang Sining doesn't think so.
Putting up the beams when building a house is a big event. We can't do it in a grand manner, but we can't be too stingy either.
She remembered going to banquets with her grandfather when she was a child. Usually there were chicken, duck, fish, meat, as well as various cold dishes, steamed dishes, stews... What she remembered most was Tremella soup.
Tremella soup is sweet and few children can resist it.
So she decided to prepare 8 tables of banquet according to her memory, just to reminisce the past.
So she said, "Aunt, do you think this will work?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Chicken, duck, fish, and pig's trotters. You need these four whole dishes." Jiang Sining hooked his fingers and said, "You also need steamed pork with buckwheat sauce, pork with sand filling, longan, and crispy pork. Four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, and one clear soup and one sweet soup. I think that's enough."
Is that almost enough?
Jiang Yaorong was shocked when she heard this. Even a landlord’s 60th birthday celebration couldn’t have so much.
The most important thing is how much money it will cost!
"Ning girl, do you want some more?"
"It's okay, auntie. I have plenty of money."
Jiang Sining also has another purpose, which is to let everyone see that she is rich so that others will want to follow her to make money. The more people she has around her who can be used, the smoother her plan will be.
"But we'll have lunch tomorrow, and we can't cook so many dishes."
There aren’t enough pots!
Not to mention steamers and the like.
"That's easy," Jiang Sining pointed to Tianranju in front of him, "Let the restaurant make the difficult ones, and just cook some stir-fried dishes and soup at home."
Following Jiang Sining into Tianranju, the owner Bai Kuan personally received us.
He made a lot of money from a big snake last time, and now when he sees Jiang Sining, it’s like seeing the God of Wealth, and even his name has changed.
"Miss Jiang, are there no goods today?"
"Have."
"Where is it? Show me now."
Jiang Sining took out a small bamboo tube from his backpack, which contained some grain wine.
The moment the cork was uncorked, Bai Kuan's eyes began to light up.
"Good wine, good wine!"
"I've been running a restaurant for so many years, and I've never seen such good wine!"
"Boss Bai," Jiang Sining said, "how much can you give per pound of this wine?"
"This..." Bai Kuan frowned and thought for a while, and finally said: "Ordinary fine wine is 80 coins per bucket, and your wine must be at least 300 coins."
One dou is about 14 jin, which is about 6 wen per jin, not much more expensive than grain.
Because the wine in this world is not much different from fermented glutinous rice, one pound of grain can produce at least two pounds, so the price of the wine is relatively low.
But if you want to brew this kind of high-proof liquor, one kilogram of liquor requires three kilograms of grain, and the cost is around 3 cents.
If it can be sold for 300 wen per dou, which is 21 wen per jin, you can still make a profit of 9 wen per jin of wine.
It seems a bit too low.
But she knew that the price was already good, and most importantly, she didn't want to do retail, but wholesale.
As long as the volume is large enough, the total profit is still considerable.
"Boss Bai, if I sell you a large quantity, will you be able to sell it?"
"can!"
Bai Kuan agreed very readily. This was a business that could make a lot of money, so he had to do it.
"Miss Jiang, no, Miss Jiang, may I ask when it can be available?"
"Wait a few days," Jiang Sining said, "I'll start brewing after my house is built."
"Then congratulations to Miss Jiang on her new home."
"I came here for another reason today. I came to buy some food. My family will hold a grand ceremony tomorrow."
This was a piece of cake for Bai Kuan. As soon as he saw the menu Jiang Sining ordered, he immediately asked the waiter to close the door and not receive any other guests today. He focused on preparing the dishes Jiang Sining ordered.
"These dishes require some preparation. I will personally deliver them to Miss Jiang tomorrow morning."
"Good work."
The main course was arranged so simply that Bai Kuan asked for the cost price before charging any extra money.
After all, this is the God of Wealth. If you want the God of Wealth to bless you with prosperity, then don’t you have to offer some incense and tributes first?
After leaving Tianranju, Jiang Sining and his friend started buying dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts, and finally sugar.
The owner of the pastry shop remembered her as a big customer and brought out all the pastries that were made last night. Jiang Sining naturally didn't think it was too much and bought all the pastries that she thought tasted good.
"Girl, do you need anything else?"
Hearing him ask this, Jiang Sining knew it was not simple, so he asked: "Does the shopkeeper have any good things?"
The shopkeeper looked outside the door and saw that no one was coming. Then he lowered his voice and said, "A few days ago, I bought some fine sugar."
Jiang Sining blinked. What is fine sugar?
"Girl, you don't even know fine sugar, do you?"
Jiang Sining shook his head.
"Hey, this fine sugar is a tribute!" said the shopkeeper, "usually people can't even see it."
"Take it out and let me see it. If it's good, I'll take it."
"Okay, wait a minute."
The shopkeeper went upstairs mysteriously and took down a white ceramic bottle. When Jiang Sining opened it, he almost couldn't help himself.
It was made so mysterious that she thought it was something good.
Isn't this white sugar?
And it was the kind of white sugar that was not pure enough and had a yellow tint.
"This candy is much sweeter than granulated sugar, and it doesn't have any sand in it. I was planning to keep it for myself," said the shopkeeper, "but since you are so generous and kind, I can give you some."
"How much does it cost per pound?"
The shopkeeper carefully held up a finger: "One tael of silver."
1 tael of silver is equivalent to 1 jin, which is indeed not cheap.
Refined brown sugar only costs 300 wen, while the price of white sugar is more than three times that.
In fact, logically speaking, white sugar is not much more expensive than brown sugar. It is only because of the processing problem that it is now a rare commodity.
But now that I have encountered it, I naturally want to try it out to see if there is any difference.
"how much do you have?"
"Only three pounds."
"All of them."
