Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Liu Siyu thought about it and felt that it would be safer to use what she saw in the book, but the wording had to be changed.

"Last year, when I was drying the books my father left behind, I unexpectedly saw a medical book that said acorns can be used as medicine."

"At the time, I thought, since it can be used as medicine, it must be edible, so I peeled the shell according to the above method and soaked it for many days. I didn't expect that the final taste was quite good."

Liu Siyu made up a lot of nonsense and fooled several people into believing it.

Tian Qingshan had suffered hardships in life and always attached great importance to edible things.

After hearing what Liu Siyu said, he immediately handed the hoe to Lai Fu.

"I'm going to go to the village chief's house and talk to him about whether we can plant more acorn trees this year."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Xiaocao's eyes were full of twinkling stars as she stared at Liu Siyu closely.

"Second sister-in-law, I think you are amazing. How come you know everything?"

Liu Siyu felt a little embarrassed when being praised.

He said modestly, "No, it's just that my family had a very difficult life in the past, so we had to look for food everywhere. I found acorns by chance, but I didn't expect that they would taste so good."

Ximei chuckled and made a brilliant finishing move.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. I heard that you also invented the fermented bean curd and the large intestine by yourself."

"I have been working behind the stove for so many years in vain, but in the end I am still not as good as you who can't cook. If you knew how to cook, you might be able to come up with so many new tricks."

As Ximei spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister-in-law, how about this? I will teach you how to cook. When you learn how to cook, think of some new foods. Then we can open a snack stand in town."

"Don't worry, once you figure it out, I won't let you work hard. You just need to stand by and collect the money."

The grass also smiled.

"I think this is a good idea. Second sister-in-law only needs to talk, and eldest sister-in-law and I can do it. Maybe our small business can even support this family."

Lai Xi interrupted hurriedly.

"Don't even think about it. Siyu is busy."

Ximei glared at Laixi in reproach.

"Why, you're protecting her right now? It'll take a few more months for your sister-in-law's belly to grow bigger."

Lai Xi was embarrassed by his sister-in-law's teasing.

Liu Siyu was also a little embarrassed. These people kept talking about her belly. This was not okay. She had to think of a way to divert everyone's attention.

Suddenly thinking of the wine balls, he immediately said, "There is a business right now, but I don't know if you are willing to take the trouble."

"What business?"

Ximei grabbed Liu Siyu's arm.

"As long as I can earn some money to support the family, my sister-in-law is not afraid of any hardship."

Xiaocao also nodded in agreement.

Even Lai Fu, who rarely spoke, stared at Liu Siyu with shining eyes.

Liu Siyu pointed to the wild flowers that were about to bloom on the roadside and said, "It means collecting flowers of different colors, but the premise is that the flowers must be edible and not poisonous."

Several people had doubts on their faces, even Lai Xi was no exception.

"Are you going to sell flowers?"

Liu Siyu shook her head and briefly explained the plan for making fermented rice wine meatballs.

Collect flowers of different colors, mash them into juice, filter it, and use the juice to stir glutinous rice flour, and you can naturally make colorful glutinous rice balls.

Ximei thought about it and felt that this was feasible, but most of the flowers had not yet bloomed, and some had not even begun to bud.

"I'm afraid this business will have to wait until later, when the corn is planted. It's just right to pick some every day when removing the wheat straw."

"It's just that once the meatballs are made, who are we going to sell them to?"

Xiaocao was a little worried.

Liu Siyu smiled faintly.

"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own way. But the balls can be made now. You can first pick some young buds of mulberry leaves and make some light green ones. Then add other colors when the flowers bloom."

"This is good. Mulberry leaves are everywhere. When the mulberry kernels come out in a while, they will be purple and red. I will start picking mulberry leaves today."

Xiaocao was planning with great interest.

Liu Siyu interrupted in time.

"I want to give this job to my sister-in-law. I will provide the glutinous rice flour. After she makes the colorful balls and dries them in the shade, I will pay her 6 cents per pound as labor fee."

Ximei felt a little embarrassed.

"Why is this family so divided? You need your sister-in-law, and she's very happy. Wouldn't it be a bit too polite for you to pay her for the labor?"

Liu Siyu took the matter seriously.

"As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I plan to do some other business in the future. If I make money, everyone will be happy. But if I lose money, what if there is unhappiness?"

"As a family, we share the losses and gains."

Lai Fu always speaks like the head of a family.

Liu Siyu gave an appreciative look and continued to paint a big picture.

She doesn't have anyone of her own now, and it takes time to cultivate true confidants.

By taking advantage of the relationship with Lai Xi, he temporarily included the Tian family in his confidants, and while using them he also considered them carefully.

If we can't become close friends after divorce, at least we can become partners.

"Although what Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law said is correct, but in the future, when the business grows bigger, it won't be enough for just a few of us to manage it. If a big family wants to develop well, it must have strict rules and regulations."

"Why not start from now on, everyone will get paid accordingly based on how much they contribute to the family business. It's up to each person to decide how much they are willing to give to the family after they have the money in their hands."

"Let's set an example for the younger generations to prevent others from being cunning and always thinking of relying on the family to make a living."

Ximei didn't expect Liu Siyu to think so far ahead. She said with a guilty conscience, "It's still my sister-in-law who has considered it carefully. My vision is a little narrow after all."

Liu Siyu waved her hands hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, don't belittle yourself like this."

"I can speak so thoroughly because that's what we do in my mother's family."

Several people were stunned for a moment. There were only three people in Liu Siyu's family, and they didn't expect them to be so advanced.

Seeing that no one was talking, Liu Siyu continued to speak.

"As for your ideas for the future, you can first express your opinions."

She wanted to manage this big family like a company, with clear division of labor and a reward system to motivate everyone.

Besides, the people in this family made her feel very warm.

Even after divorcing Lai Xi, she still wanted to be a business partner with them.

No matter what the final result is, you should always try it.

Several people looked at each other and then turned their eyes to Lai Xi.

Lai Xi knew that his and Liu Siyu's current relationship was like that of a young couple in the eyes of others.

He said without hesitation: "We don't know much about business. We have seven acres of land at home. Three acres of dry land are planted with wheat, and four acres of mountain land are planned to be planted with corn."

"Finally, there's the orchard on the back hill. If it's well managed, it can be sold for around 20 taels of silver. If it's a bad year, it's hard to say."

"As for other small businesses, we'll listen to you. If you need us to do anything, just let us know."
