A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Lin Dashan was still dazed when he came out of the restaurant. He had just made the deal, 10 catties a day, earning nearly 3 taels of silver. Was such a big deal so easy to negotiate?

"Dad, let's go to the butcher's shop now. We don't know if we have enough pork skins. If not, we have to go to more butcher's shops."

"Oh, oh, good!"

Lin Xiaomi: ...

"Xiaomi, Dad is worried. It's just a pig skin. If we sell it to someone for 300 coins, will it be possible..."

Lin Xiaomi said with a straight face, "Dad, this is not pig skin, it is processed pig skin. Who knew that pig skin can be turned into pig skin jelly? Besides, how much is a pound of vegetables? One or two cents, but how much does Fuqing Restaurant sell a plate of vegetables? 20 cents. You can see that a plate is one pound? What we are selling is not vegetables, but the signboard of Fuqing Restaurant. We are the same. We are selling something new. Besides, Fuqing Restaurant dares to charge 300 cents per pound, which means they can make money. Since they can make money, what are you afraid of?"

This father is too honest. Is it true that pig skin costs one cent per pound, and she only sells pig skin jelly for two cents per pound? Then when will she be able to save enough money to become a landlord? Do you understand the saying "rare goods are valuable" and "packaging"?

"Dad, don't worry. This food is not meant for ordinary people. For rich people, a few taels of silver for a dish is nothing, let alone this..."

Lin Dashan: ...Okay, he is narrow-minded. My daughter is right. If we sell this food to rich people, they might think it is not good if it is sold cheaply.

"We should be worrying about where to get all that pig skin, not about Fuqing Restaurant losing money."

Lin Dashan slapped his head. Yes, pig skin is sold together with pork. If they only want the skin and not the meat, they may not be able to buy it. Thinking about the signed contract, he dared not delay any longer and hurried to the butcher shop.

"Boss, do you have any pork skins today?"

Butcher: ...Who wants this?

"We sell the skin and meat together. Do you want the skin? The skin is not tasty!" the boss reminded.

"I need pork skin. Do you have any? I need 4 kilograms a day."

The boss thought that if he removed the skin and sold the meat, the meat would sell better and he could also make some money from the skin.

"You know the skin and meat are sold together, so even if you want to buy the skin, the price won't be too cheap."

Lin Dashan had already thought of this. The skin is actually the same price as the meat, but the pig skin jelly is sold at a higher price by my daughter.

Lin Dashan didn't care about the high price of pig skin at all, and simply said: "The price is fine, pig skin and pork are the same price, I need 4 kilograms of skin a day, is that enough for you?"

The skin of a pig was enough, and the butcher happily agreed. He could sell the meat without the skin for a penny or two more, and the customer wouldn't say anything. The pig skin could be sold at the price of meat. All in all, he would make a profit from this deal.

"No problem, no problem. Do you want it today? I can cut it for you right now!"

"Yes!" Don't take anything for delivery tomorrow.

At this point, the pig skin issue was confirmed, which meant that Lin Dashan had to go to the county town every day, which was a bit tiring. But he didn't care at all, it was only half a day's walk, nothing.

"Dad, you should take the village ox cart to the county town every day. Our family is making money now, so there is no need to save a penny." On the way home, Lin Xiaomi discussed the transportation problem with Lin Dashan. She thought that after a while, when the family had money, they would buy an ox cart to make it easier to deliver goods.

"Okay, I'll take the ox cart over there tomorrow." Lin Dashan thought to himself, his Xiaomi really knows how to be caring.

"Dad, what is that?"

Passing by the bamboo forest in the village, Lin Xiaomi saw some little white skirts.

Lin Dashan answered honestly: "I don't know what it is, but there are quite a lot of them every year."

"Dad, let me go down and take a look."

Lin Dashan stopped, Lin Xiaomi jumped out of the bamboo basket and ran towards the bamboo forest not far away.

Oh my god, she was right. Many of the bamboo fungi in this large area have already withered. There was nothing much to say. Lin Xiaomi squatted down and started picking them.

Lin Dashan came over and said, "Xiaomi, just pick a few of these for fun. Let's go home and make some pork skin jelly first."

Pick a few for fun?

What his father said was true, the family was so poor that they had to eat wild vegetables every day, and his father told her not to pick these treasures! ?

Bamboo fungus is not only of high nutritional value, but also tastes great. Even now, artificially grown bamboo fungus is not cheap. Should we just leave it to rot?

No, absolutely not.

"Dad, go home first and give the pig skin to mom, she will cook it. I want to pick this here."

"No, Xiaomi, why are you picking this thing? You can't eat it or look at it. It will wither soon."

"Something this fragrant must be edible. Dad, go home quickly and get two more bamboo baskets so we can pick them together." The growth cycle of bamboo fungus is very short, and it only takes a few hours from blooming to withering.

Seeing that Lin Xiaomi insisted, Lin Dashan had no choice but to go home to get the basket.

"Don't put it in your mouth. Dad will be back soon."

"Know it!"

Lin Dashan went home and hurriedly told Wang about making pig skin jelly, and then hurried to the bamboo forest. Lin Xiaomi had seen many videos of picking this thing when she was watching a certain audio app in her previous life, but nowadays, it is dried after picking, but here it can only be dried in the sun.

The little white skirts fluttered in the bamboo forest, looking very pretty. Lin Xiaomi had no intention of appreciating them, as she was racing against time, as the bamboo fungus withered too quickly.

In the bamboo forest, there were only the father and daughter picking bamboo fungus. The bamboo forest was too big for the two of them to pick all of them. After picking four large baskets, Lin Xiaomi reluctantly left the bamboo forest at Lin Dashan's urging.

They wouldn't let her pick them again unless they were given a taste.

When I got home, I spread them out and dried them in the yard.

"Xiaomi, this thing is really inedible. In the past, someone in the village ate mushrooms recklessly and was poisoned to death. Listen to your parents and don't eat it!"

Lin Xiaomi: ... "Mom and Dad, take two and feed them to the chickens. If the chicken dies, I won't eat it. If the chicken is fine, we'll have an extra vegetable. If we dry these mushrooms, they can also be a vegetable in winter."

Wang was very happy because she knew that her family could earn 3 taels of silver every day from selling pig skin jelly. She thought that since her daughter wanted to eat it, she should give it a try, since it would only cost her a dead chicken.

"Okay, Dad, go get two to feed the chickens."

"Xiaomi, let's eat first and stop looking at those mushrooms, ah!"

"Oh."

After the meal, Wang suggested that they make pork skin jelly, and Xiaomi had to guide them. Yesterday, after she washed herself, she went up the mountain to chop firewood, and she didn't know the rest of the process.

Lin Xiaomi could only continue watching the fire from the afternoon.

Looking at the thick meat jelly in the pot, Wang was overjoyed. "My girl, is this all that's enough? We can sell it for three taels of silver?"

"Let it cool down and solidify, and it'll be ready. Mom, you and Dad should stop eating pork skin jelly from now on. It's called crystal sashimi. I'm afraid that if you say that you're sloppy, others will learn from you."

"Okay, okay. I'll be more careful next time and not say anything nonsense. I'll tell your dad later. From now on, when we cook pork skin jelly, we'll lock the yard outside." This is their family's livelihood, and no one else must learn it.

"Okay." Lin Xiaomi also felt that it was a good thing to be more careful.
