The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

Shen Mingzhu looked at Old Man Shen's ever-changing face and understood what he was thinking, but did not say anything.

She understood that some things cannot be changed overnight, and she had plenty of time to dismantle the impression of the eldest wife in Old Man Shen's mind.

As for Shen Mingzi, who caused their entire family to be used as cannon fodder and die tragically, they will meet her slowly later.

Shen Mingzhu came to her parents' room and saw Su embroidering Spa stitch by stitch, so she walked forward.

When Su saw that it was Shen Mingzhu, she said, "Mingzhu, help me divide the lines."

"Okay." Shen Mingzhu walked to the show stand and began to separate the silk threads.

While Su was embroidering with a needle, she said to Shen Mingzhu: "The fabric here is too poor, and there are too few colors of embroidery thread."

"We will dye our own silk thread in the future."

Shen Mingzhu nodded, looked at her mother's beautiful profile, thought of her mother in her previous life, and sighed in her heart.

Her mother's ability to adapt is simply too good. The eldest daughter of her previous life traveled to this poor and backward place and was so poor that she couldn't afford to eat. Except for the first two days after she arrived, her mother didn't show any signs of discomfort.

Su embroidered two stitches and said to Shen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you should also practice embroidery starting tomorrow!"

Shen Mingzhu did not refute.

In her previous life, she had a mother who was a Suzhou embroidery inheritor. She was influenced by her mother since she was a child and knew some embroidery. However, she preferred to go out and play, and did not put all her attention on embroidery.

Here, embroidery must be taken up by hand.

In the evening, the family gathered together again to discuss.

Old Mrs. Shen asked, "Have you all adapted to the environment here?" She looked at Su.

Su nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I have a strong ability to adapt."

Although she no longer has the life of a rich lady like in her previous life, she is very happy now that her family is often together.

In her previous life, her husband was busy all day, doing research and collecting folk songs everywhere, and he often didn't come home for several months. Her two children also stayed away from home all year round to study. Although she was rich, she felt lonely in the dead of night.

Although there is no modern prosperous life here, it allows her to experience another kind of home warmth.

Shen Mingzhu and Shen Mingshu both nodded in agreement, not to mention Shen Laosan, who himself was a kid from the mountains and had strong adaptability.

When he traveled through time to here, not only was he a dozen years younger, but he could also be with his wife and children every day. He felt very happy now.

When Old Mrs. Shen saw that they had adapted to life here, she felt relieved. She was worried that her daughter-in-law would not be able to change her mindset and adapt to life here.

She continued: "This family is too poor, we want to change the status quo."

Shen Lao San said: "I have decided to continue to pick up the books and participate in the imperial examination."

Old Lady Shen agreed: "Well, I believe you can."

Shen Mingshu also expressed his own thoughts, "I also want to take the imperial examination. In this dynasty, the only way to change your social class is to study."

He was born into an upper-class family, but now he suddenly has to live the life of a lower-class person. He cannot accept it for a while, but he also wants to work hard to change his current miserable life.

Shen Mingzhu praised her elder brother and father and said, "Grandma, I want to do business and learn some medical skills."

"I have thought about it. If we want to do business, we don't have the capital now, so we can use the system to start as a middleman. The system will collect wild vegetables and other mountain products. It will be very tiring for our family to pick them ourselves, and the money will come slowly. We can use the labor force in the village."

"This way, we can increase the income of the villagers and ourselves."

Shen Mingzhu knows very well that no matter what era it is, it is very difficult for people at the bottom of society to climb up.

Studying costs money, and doing hard labor without education is even more difficult. Doing business without capital and connections is even more difficult. However, she has a system and can slowly start from a small business.

Isn’t there a saying that a small business can make big money? Businesses all start small.

Shen Mingzhu's idea coincided with that of Old Lady Shen, and Old Lady Shen agreed very much:

"Zhuzhu, this is a great idea. Let's go to town tomorrow and tell the villagers when we come back that Lao San's friend outside is buying wild vegetables. Let the villagers dig wild vegetables and sell them to us."

Shen Mingzhu rushed to say: "The price of wild vegetables is only one penny per pound."

She was afraid that her grandmother was too chaste. Although they sold those wild vegetables to the system for fifteen cents or even eighteen cents per pound, they couldn't charge too much in the village.

It is good enough for the people in the village to sell wild vegetables for one cent per pound. You know, brown rice and black flour here are only five cents per pound.

If they offer a price that is too high, they are afraid that the villagers will dig up all the wild vegetables on the mountain in order to make money, and there will be no wild vegetables left in the village.

Not only that, a purchase price that is too high will arouse suspicion, and they won’t be able to explain themselves then.

Shen Mingzhu understands human greed too well. Her maternal grandparents were capitalists in modern times. She has been exposed to business since she was a child and understands too well the horror of human greed.

Old Lady Shen nodded without objecting. The family agreed to go to town the next day before dawn after breakfast.

As for the little guy from the third room, Shen Mingyu, he has always been lazy. When Shen Mingzhu and the others left, the little guy hadn't gotten up yet. Fearing that he might do something bad, the Shen family's third room did not take him with them.

When they arrived in the town, they all found it very novel. There were two streets in the town, a main street and a side street. Most of the houses in the town were made of stone, wood and tiles, which were much better than the thatched houses in their village.

Shenjia Village is located halfway between the town and the county seat. It only takes about twenty minutes to walk from the town and another twenty minutes to walk to the county seat.

The reason why Shen Mingzhu and her friends came to the town first was to take a look at the price trends in the town.

"Baozi, fresh big meat buns, delicious and filling, come and buy some!"

"Selling wheat cakes! Min Laoyao's wheat cakes, sweet and delicious."

"Fresh fried dough sticks..."

"Bean curd..."

The food vendors in the town greeted the customers warmly. Shen Mingzhu looked at the bustling town and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she didn't sell food like the heroines in the time-travel novels. Here there were not only condiments such as peppers, but also a variety of snacks.

Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, they are really amazing!

Shen Mingzhu walked up to the vendor carrying the basket and asked, "How much is the wheat cake?"

"One penny each. My wheat cakes are made from fresh wheat that I thresh at home. They are fragrant and sweet, and very delicious. How many do you want to buy, little girl?"

The hawker was very welcoming. His big eyes were curved in a smile, revealing two rows of big white teeth. He looked very kind.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the wheat cakes wrapped in tung leaves in the basket, which smelled of wheat. "Eight"

"Okay, eight cents. You have good taste, little girl. My Min Laoyao's wheat cake is famous for its deliciousness. I guarantee you will want to eat more after you have tasted it. Come back to buy it next time!"

Shen Mingzhu took the wheat cakes wrapped in tung leaves, gave one each to her parents, grandmother and brother, took one for herself, and put the remaining three in Shen Laosan's backpack.

I took a bite of the wheat cake. The fragrance of wheat mixed with the scent of tung leaves had a light sweetness and tasted good.

Old Mrs. Shen also praised: "This wheat cake tastes good, better than steamed buns."

"Yes, it's good. We have never eaten baba made from such pure wheat before."

After the family finished eating the wheat cake, Old Lady Shen brought Su and Shen Mingzhu to Buzhu. As soon as the three of them entered Buzhu, they were given a cold stare. The waiter inside Buzhu said impatiently:

"Mrs. Shen, are you here to look for Accountant Shen again? Don't come over. I'll go and call him for you."
