Lin Guyu finished the meal in a few bites, licked the corner of his mouth, still feeling unsatisfied.

Lin Xiaoman touched Xiao Guyu's pigtail and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"

Xiao Guyu shook his head and sat on the small stool.

This little stool was made by my father when he was free these days.

It’s a bit rough, but Xiao Guyu likes it very much.

"Wait until Dad, Mom and my brother come back before eating."

Lin Xiaoman nodded, what a good little boy.

In this regard, Xiao Guyu's willpower is stronger than hers.

The remaining bowl of cold noodles is covered with a bamboo cover.

She calculated that she had used two kilograms of flour in the space.

She estimated that there were more than three pounds of cold noodles, and one pound of cold noodles could make seven or eight bowls, and then add cucumber shreds and the remaining gluten from washing the noodles.

Wait until the bean sprouts have grown well before adding more bean sprouts.

Mix it with sauce and it is most refreshing to eat in summer.

Two pounds of flour can make twenty-four bowls.

It’s just that flour is expensive here. Last time she went to the market, she remembered that flour was 35 cents per pound.

In ancient times, one catty was sixteen taels.

The two pounds of flour she used yesterday actually weighed four ounces more than the one pound here.

By this calculation, 35 cents per pound of flour should be able to make 20 bowls of jelly.

With cucumber shreds and bean sprouts, a serving of cold noodles costs three cents, which doesn't make much profit. But if I sell it for five cents, I'm afraid no one will buy it.

After all, a big, plump meat bun only costs three cents.

I just wonder if there was cold noodles in the era described in this book?

According to her time, it is said that cold noodles already existed during the Qin Shihuang period.

After waiting for a long time, it was almost noon when I saw Lin Jingzhe coming back jumping and running.

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua followed behind Lin Jingzhe.

Xiao Guyu ran out with a "da da da" and threw himself into A Niang's arms.

Laughing non-stop.

"What's the matter? Is there any good news, Guyu?" Li Taohua didn't care about the dirt on her body, she picked up Guyu and smelled a fragrance from her.

Until the family came in and closed the door tightly.

It is only during the Xiaoguyu period that one starts to feel happy.

She used every word she could think of.

"Delicious? What delicious food do we have at home?" Li Taohua was skeptical.

If I hadn't really smelled the scent, there would have been no such thing as a little bit of faith.

Besides, Xiaoman has never cooked since she was a child, so what delicious food can she make?

"Really, mother, if you don't believe me, go and try it!"

Xiao Guyu urged A Niang to go into the kitchen.

Sister covers the delicious food under the bamboo cover!

Lin Jingzhe was already hungry after being busy all morning.

In the past, he would have gone to the mountains with Brother Li to catch wild animals long ago, but Brother Li was catching long-bearded insects at night recently and had to work in the fields during the day.

That's why the two of them didn't go.

"Where? Let me try first."

Lin Jingzhe always felt that his sister was a little bit mysterious.

So he was not surprised at all when she made something delicious.

Lin Xiaoman smiled and lifted the bamboo cover.

Li Taohua stared at a big bowl of white and green stuff she had never seen before.

She looked at Lin Dajiang with a questioning look in her eyes.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Li Taohua smelled the fragrance and asked Lin Xiaoman patiently.

"what is this?"

Lin Xiaoman did not answer but asked: "Haven't you seen it, Dad and Mom?"

"No!"

It seems that they have never seen jelly before.

At least it proves that there is none in this area.

Lin Xiaoman took three bowls with holes in them and gave one to each of them. "Dad and Mom, would you like to try some?"

Lin Jingzhe was already starving. He took the chopsticks handed to him by Xiaoman, picked up the bowl and put it into his mouth.

He swallowed two mouthfuls without even looking up: "It's delicious, and it's still cold."

"This crunchy thing is cucumber, right? It's so delicious!"

Seeing their son eating so enthusiastically, Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua started eating too.

Suddenly, the only sound in the kitchen was the clanging of dishes and chopsticks.

After the three of them finished eating, they even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Xiao Guyu laughed like a little mouse that stole oil.

A little sneaky, but also a little cute.

As if to say, look, now you believe it!

None of the three spoke. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Lin Xiaoman, all with expressions that showed they were still unsatisfied.

"Is it delicious?"

The three of them said in unison: "Delicious!"

"Can it be sold for money? Four cents a bowl?"

Lin Jingzhe: “Yes!”

Lin Dajiang: "This... four cents a bowl, anyone want it?"

Li Taohua hesitated: "I'm afraid not many people are willing to buy it. The meat buns are only three cents, and we are reluctant to buy them. Your father is stingy and says he doesn't like meat buns."

Lin Xiaoman added: "But a meat bun can only fill your stomach, not your stomach, but this bowl of jelly can fill you up."

Lin Dajiang ate too fast just now and didn't see clearly what the white and smooth thing in his mouth was made of.

"Xiao Man, you call what we just ate jelly?"

Lin Xiaoman knew what he wanted to ask, and answered obediently.

"What are you made of?"

"Flour, or white flour!"

Li Taohua's whole body tensed up immediately.

What I ate just now was actually white flour!

Damn, no wonder it tastes so good, it’s white flour, how could it not taste good?

Seeing Lin Dajiang frowning, Lin Xiaoman guessed that his father must think that flour was too expensive and the cost was too high, so even if he did the business, he would not make any money.

"Dad, one pound of flour can make twenty bowls of cold noodles. Last time I went to town with you, flour was thirty-five cents a pound. These cucumbers are not worth much. Dad will buy some from the nearby villages. As for the others, it's just that we have to work harder."

Lin Dajiang took over the conversation: "Selling it for four cents a bowl, twenty bowls is... eighty cents. White flour is thirty-five cents, firewood, sauces and other ingredients are ten cents, so if I sell all the white flour, I can make thirty-five cents."

Lin Xiaoman felt it was a pity. After calculating it this way, including the wages of several employees, he didn't make much at all.

But a bowl of cold noodles costs four cents, and my parents think it is expensive.

They didn't even dare to think about selling it for five cents.

Lin Xiaoman was thinking about getting rich, and was full of expectations: "How about we try making some next time we go to the market?"

Li Taohua glanced at Lin Xiaoman, hesitant.

"If we can't sell all of them, we can put them in the well and eat them ourselves." Lin Xiaoman hugged Li Taohua, smiling and acting coquettishly.

"Mother, is that ok? If we really can't sell it, can we just treat it as a good meal?"

The main reason is that after selling the jelly, the flour in her space can be put to good use.

"Bah! You're cursing yourself for not being able to sell before you even start?" Li Taohua quickly covered Lin Xiaoman's mouth: "You smart guy, you know I'll fall for your tricks, just this once, if it doesn't work, don't bother."

Lin Xiaoman hugged Li Taohua's neck and said, "Mother, I know you are the best."

"Ahem." Lin Dajiang was dissatisfied: "Dad is not good to you?"

"It's okay, dad!"

Lin Jingzhe patted his chest loudly, with a look of anticipation: "What about me, what about me?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "You...get out of the way!"

Xiao Guyu made a face at Lin Jingzhe, "Lolololololol!"
