Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Mother Wang said modestly: "This is not my credit, it's because the old lady is naturally beautiful. I don't have that ability."

Lin Yuxi smiled and asked Wang Mama to sit down. Wang Mama sat down without any hesitation and ordered someone to bring two bowls of lily and lotus seed syrup.

"Mother Wang has worked hard to take care of my grandmother. Yuxi has no special ability and can only afford to treat Mother Wang to a bowl of sweet soup. This lily and lotus seed sweet soup was bought by the maid outside to cool me down. Today, Yuxi borrowed flowers to pay tribute to the Buddha, so you can have a taste to cool down."

Lin Yuxi placed the sugar water in front of Mother Wang with both hands, and Mother Wang was flattered.

"Second Miss, please stop talking. You are not trying to embarrass me by saying this. It is my job to take care of the old lady. I dare not take credit for it." Mother Wang's eyes were fixed on the sugar water on the table. She could feel the coolness coming out of the sugar water even when she was sitting. After a few polite words, she couldn't help but eat it.

After finishing the bowl, all the heat in Mother Wang's body had disappeared. She kept praising the food. After sitting for a while, Mother Wang got up to go back. This time Lin Yuxi did not keep her and asked her to take a bowl of sugar water to the old lady. Mother Wang took it with a smile, said goodbye and left the garden.

After Mother Wang left, the three maids changed their clothes, and Lin Yuxi asked Mother Yu to take them downstairs for training.

She also had some free time, so she picked up her purse and continued embroidering. Luyun saw it and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. The girl was also tough in words, but in fact she also had her son-in-law in her heart.

After lunch, Cuizhu came back happily. Seeing her like that, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but joked, "What are you so happy about? Did your Zheng Laoshi confess his love to you?"

Cuizhu, who was originally very happy, immediately blushed upon hearing this, stamped her feet and said coquettishly: "Miss."

Cuiping on the other end also teased her: "It's no use calling you mother, your thoughts can't escape the eyes of the girl. Alas, you are so young, but you have been thinking about it for a long time."

Luyun laughed so hard that she held her stomach. The exaggeration made Cuizhu want to dig a hole in the ground to bury herself. Her face was so red that blood could drip out. Seeing that the laughter was almost over, if she didn't stop, she was afraid that the girl would be embarrassed to death. Lin Yuxi coughed twice, "That's it."

Luyun and Cuiping stuck out their tongues and slowly stopped laughing, knowing that the girl had something to say. The three of them stood in a row waiting for arrangements.

"You three have been with me for a while. Now there are more people in the garden. You three are the old ones. You should give them more guidance in the future, but don't try to shirk your responsibilities. I will arrange your work now. Cuizhu will be promoted to be my head maid with Luyun. Luyun will follow me on weekdays. Cuizhu will continue to run the shop as usual. Cuiping will still be a second-class maid. You will go and pick a maid to help you later. Do you understand?"

The three maids all nodded seriously. After everything was explained, Lin Yuxi asked Cuizhu about her situation today. Cuizhu giggled when she heard it.

She went to the shop early this morning with saltpeter and taught him how to make ice. Zheng Laoshi praised it as magical. Then she went to buy mung beans according to Lin Yuxi's instructions. After buying the materials and returning to the shop, Niu Gazi also came. Niu Gazi's home was nearby, so he usually went home after work in the evening. Zheng Laoshi's home was far away, so he slept on the floor in the shop.

When Niu Gazi came, he found several large pieces of ice in the kitchen and thought he had walked into the wrong door. It was not until Cuizhu and Zheng Laoshi came back that he realized what was going on. He couldn't help but suddenly respect this boss whom he had never met before.

The three of them cooked two large pots of mung bean soup, crushed the ice and added water, then placed the pots in the ice water to cool. When the soup was almost cool, they put the remaining ice in the soup.

The summer weather gets hot quickly, and Zheng Laoshi can't wait to set up his stall after the mung bean syrup is ready. At first, some people are skeptical, as no one has ever eaten this ice before, and who knows if it will make people sick. However, after trying it, some people applauded and praised it. Once there was a first, there were two. In less than an hour, two large pots of syrup were sold out, and it wasn't even noon yet.

Seeing that Zheng was in good spirits, Cuizhu immediately asked Zheng Laoshi to buy some mung beans and continued to cook two pots. She had never stopped since she opened the shop. Her hands were almost cramped from collecting money. It was not easy for her to get some free time to come back and report.

Lin Yuxi grinned after hearing this, she finally felt a little better. A block of ice outside would cost at least one or two taels of silver, how could ordinary people have the money to buy such luxury goods? Saltpeter and mung beans are cheap products with low cost. A bowl of sugar water only costs three cents, which is only one cent more expensive than bean juice, but it can relieve the heat, so people are scrambling to buy it.

Cuizhu cooked two more pots before coming back and kept the two men busy. She glanced at the money and estimated that there should be about three or four hundred coins. The green beans and sugar together only cost sixty-seven coins. The profit was much better than that of hamburgers. And this was only half a day. In the whole day, she could earn nearly one or two taels of silver. Just thinking about it was enough to make her excited.

Lin Yuxi was also very pleased. Finally, there was some improvement. However, mung bean soup was just the beginning. Since the hamburgers were not selling well, she might as well stop it for now and switch to a low-cost snack.

Lin Yuxi was calculating in her mind, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and all she could think about was the scene of counting money.

Lin Yuxi thought of another food - Roujiamo, which is much simpler to prepare than a hamburger and the cost is relatively low. She thought about the enjoyment of eating Roujiamo while drinking iced sugar water.

Lin Yuxi was very good at making Roujiamo. She used to like making some in her spare time. She wrote down the recipe and gave it to Cuizhu. She didn't need to make too much on the first day. She only needed five pounds of flour and five pounds of door panel meat, which she chopped into meat patties with alternating fat and lean parts. Lin Yuxi also wrote a note for the ingredients.

Cuizhu couldn't help but stare at Lin Yuxi curiously, with disbelief in her eyes. What else was in the girl's mind? There were always some surprising things.

"Why are you still standing there? Go down and work." Lin Yuxi was attracted by the admiring light in her eyes and quickly sent her away. Cuizhu knew she had lost her composure and retreated with a slightly red face.

Wheat flour and meat are both 20 wen per catty. In modern times, a catty of flour can make six steamed buns, and a catty of meat can just fill six steamed buns. But in ancient times, half a catty was eight liang, unlike the modern half a catty which is only six liang, so a catty of flour and meat is a total of sixteen liang. Based on this calculation, a catty of flour can make ten steamed buns, so the average cost of a roujiamo is four wen, and the price is eight wen. It can be paired with mung bean soup for ten wen, which is a discount of one wen.

During dinner, Cuizhu came to report the battle situation, "Today, we sold a total of 873 coins. After deducting the cost of 130 coins, we made a net profit of 743 coins. I counted every penny, and my hands are almost cramped from counting so much."

In pain and happiness, Cuizhu counted and laughed, her mouth stretched to her ears.

Once upon a time, Lin Yuxi dreamed of counting money until her hands cramped, but unfortunately, she didn't realize this wish before she died. In this life, it is estimated that it will be difficult to realize it. A silver note is worth 100,000 or 100,000 yuan. No matter how much money is, it is just a piece of paper. As for the copper coins? Lin Yuxi curled her lips and thought, forget it!
