I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

It won’t be like at the beginning, when any random maid could show off her power.

Being treated as a serious guest, the treatment is different.

Tea is good.

But Shen Ying had eaten her fill before, so she just took two sips and didn't touch anything else.

The official's surname is Lin. Miss Lin is very interested in pork jerky, but it will take some time to make it: "I wonder if this sister has any other fresh food that can appease the picky child."

Children, most of them like sweet things. "Do children like to eat candy?"

"Of course I like it, but a few candies won't fill me up."

Shen Ying asked the child about a few more taboos. Apart from not tolerant of hardship, it seemed that there was nothing he particularly rejected.

Then why do you suddenly stop eating this and that?

She felt that there must be something behind it.

Miss Lin was amazed for a moment, then suddenly fell into deep thought. She then hurriedly called a little maid and asked her to go out and bring a message.

"Please stay a little longer, Sister Shen. The Lin family will make up for the time you lost later."

Shen Ying nodded, sat for a while, and then walked around the house with Miss Lin to kill time.

In less than half an hour, the maid who brought the letter came back.

After reading it, Ms. Lin covered her mouth, as if she had seen something surprising and disgusting.

Shen Ying looked at her in confusion, and seeing that Miss Lin seemed to want to speak but was afraid of something, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

It seems that not only did I guess correctly, but there is something fishy going on, and this fishy thing cannot be told to outsiders.

It may even be an outrageous incident.

After a while, Miss Lin said after careful consideration, "Is there a dish that can be cooked from start to finish in front of the children without being smoky or hot?"

There are quite a lot of them, such as steaming dishes and making soups. As long as they are not stir-fried or have too much oil and flavor, they should be fine.

However, show the production process from start to finish in front of your children.

I'm afraid this child has some psychological trauma.

Working in this line of work, Shen Ying has heard a lot about the horrific behavior of illegitimate children.

Even the used burp bags thrown away by celebrities can be picked up.

Could it be that this kid saw someone do something disgusting to the food?

Shen Ying asked for paper and pen and drew the preparation process of several dishes.

There are both meat and vegetarian options.

It’s not because Shen Ying is a chef.

It’s just that the more food I eat, the more thoughts I have.

Steamed egg custard, salty pork stew, cold shredded potatoes...

Finally, I recommended my own snacks, pork jerky and small cakes.

"It's made of egg flour, and it tastes great with washed fruits." Shen Ying pointed at Huang Xiu. "Her home is near mine, so she can learn from me first. Then you can decide whether to ask her to show you the production process or something else. It's all fine."

You can provide advice and do business yourself.

But if I get involved in the performance production process and show my face in front of children, what if they target me and want me to be their servant?

She had boasted a lot before, but in reality they were on the locals' territory, and the Shen family was vulnerable to the attack.

If he really takes a fancy to her and makes her a maid, who in the Shen family can protect her?

So she won't take the spotlight.

Huang Xiu is different from herself. What she dreams of is a job opportunity with a fixed salary or even a salary increase.

Miss Lin said yes and said a few words to Huang Xiu.

Huang Xiu and Shen Ying went to the small kitchen and learned how to make beautiful and smooth egg custard and shredded potatoes.

The method is fast and less fussy, and you can pre-treat the ingredients and then cook them quickly.

Huang Xiu tried hard to remember them, and after practicing a few times, she was able to consistently make a table of unique, non-smoky or non-fired dishes.

Miss Lin immediately took the other person away and gave Shen Ying a red envelope before leaving.

He said that if everything goes well after he comes back, he will send Huang Xiu home to learn from Shen Ying.

As soon as Shen Ying got on the carriage, she drove back to the Shen family immediately.

Call a family meeting!

Except for Grandma Shen who was taking care of the two children and didn't want to come and listen, everyone else was there.

Shen Ying stood in the first place, taking the lead without hesitation.

After going through some things, the other members of the Shen family no longer have the same old ideas as before.

After all, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

It's the same for anyone who can make money.

"Uncles, brothers, aunts, sisters-in-law, grandparents, let me start with something good. Today, I have established a relationship with the family of the wealthy man, and have met Miss Lin. Moreover, I will soon start a business for my family."

what?

hold head high?

The Shen family members looked at each other, and then praised Shen Ying, saying that she was capable and had connections.

"If we establish a relationship with the official, we will have connections when we do business in the future."

Shen Ying interrupted everyone's beautiful thoughts. "But I haven't even met the master, because I, including our Shen family, don't have the right to speak to others equally, so I invited everyone here this time to do something together, or you could say, a package."

Package?

What's the meaning.

Shen Ying took out three identical bamboo tube cups, one was placed directly on the table, one was tied with a red cloth bow and dyed, and one had an orchid pattern carved on the outside of the cup and was also equipped with a base.

"These three bamboo tubes are all cut from the same bamboo. But if you take these three bamboo tubes out to sell, which one will have the lowest price and which one will have the highest price?"

Although you have not done business before, isn’t this a simple question that is easy to answer?

"Of course there is a painting on it. It's so beautiful, and it comes with a tray. Those literati and scholars will definitely like it. As for this red ribbon, it looks a bit auspicious. Maybe it can be used in weddings and celebrations." Shen Youcai was quick-witted and dared to speak boldly.

Shen Ying affirmed his statement. "But, in the final analysis, they are all bamboo cups, even cut from a bamboo, and there is no distinction between high and low quality. What makes you think their value is different? That existence is the packaging."

The Shen family was silent for a moment.

Mr. Shen's heart was moved when he heard this. He felt that he didn't quite understand it, but it made sense.

Shen Youtian took the initiative to ask his daughter, "So what do you mean by packaging our family?"

"It's very simple. I want everyone to invest in themselves. Then, men, use your best skills and brag, but don't brag too much. Women, just eat yourselves fat. Well, just eat better and don't just care about the men and children at home."

Is there any point in doing this?

Bragging, what are you bragging about?

"Invest in yourself, that is, cut up all the clothes with holes, whether they are made into children's clothes, rags, or to cover scissors. Take care of yourselves, especially men. Wash them every day for the past three to five days.

From now on, you should take a bath at least once every two days, and wash your hair once every five days is the minimum. Women should buy a few more skirts, for serving meals, visiting guests, chatting at the door, and for every occasion.
