Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu Caixia already has the aura of a mother, and Lin Weizhong did not refute it.

"Okay, choose one for Ke Yu, and one for the other kids. I'll pay for it."

"Okay, you pay if you have money."

Liu Caixia really didn't buy new clothes for the adults. She chose a padded jacket of that era for each of the children, and also bought a padded jacket for the maids.

The adults wear down jackets inside, and they can just put on any other clothes outside to keep warm.

But we can’t take out the down jackets now. Next year, after I raise chickens, ducks and geese, I will collect some down and make my own down jackets at the end of the year. Then I will make a down jacket for everyone.

This year they bought them padded jackets to keep them warm. Even though they were purchased servants, they were not the kind of masters who would treat their servants harshly.

The main reason is that I don’t have that kind of thought.

The purpose of buying people is to make them feel at ease when using them.

The group of people returned home with a lot of loads. Along the way, in addition to clothes, they also bought a lot of New Year's goods, cut window flowers and wrote couplets and good fortune characters on red paper; they also bought some New Year pictures and door gods and took them home to paste in the house and on the door.

As for food, the customs are different in each place. Liu Caixia really didn't know the customs here, so she just bought it roughly, buying whatever she saw and whatever was available.

Finally, I bought a few chickens. The pork shop had run out of meat. I don’t know if Mrs. Tian took some more meat back. She had instructed before that even though the shop would be closed on the first day of the new year, the pork that had been ordered should still be picked up as usual.

I saw someone selling fish and bought all the remaining fish from the fishmonger. Two large grass carps, a few catfish and crucian carp. These things would last until at least the third day of the New Year. We would not go into the city until the afternoon of the fourth day, and the shops would not reopen until the fifth day.

There were very few varieties of fruits and vegetables, so I bought all I saw along the way.

By the time they arrived at their shop, the baskets they were carrying were already full of things.

The shop had been packed up long ago, and the three members of Mrs. Tian's family were sitting inside chatting. When they saw Liu Caixia and the others, they stood up and greeted them, "Boss, you're here. We've packed up. Business is good today, and we've sold out a long time ago."

"Then why don't you go back to the house? It's so cold sitting here!"

"It's okay. The streets are very busy. We can sit here to avoid the wind and enjoy the fun. The boss will settle today's bill with you when he gets home."

"It's okay. By the way, has the meat been delivered today?"

"It's delivered. It's still the same as before. Forty kilograms of pork leg meat, one hundred kilograms of pork offal, and four pig heads weighing more than fifty kilograms. The radishes and cabbages are also collected as usual. I've told them that if there's any left, they can be sent over and we'll take them."

"Well done. I was thinking there wouldn't be much meat to eat during the New Year."

"Boss, this amount of meat is already a lot. Even if there are many people in an ordinary family during the New Year, they can't consume so much meat. Only those wealthy families will buy so much."

"We are also a wealthy family, so we must eat better during the New Year. Let's go to the shop first, get some food, and then go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year together in the afternoon. Come back on the fourth day of the New Year."

The three of them were very happy. They had never thought that they could celebrate the New Year with them and have a few days off. Thank God, they had found a good boss.

"Auntie Tian, ​​boil the brine in the house, and we'll pick up all the pork and pig offal. Take it home in the afternoon and cut some for New Year's Eve. Pickle the radishes and cabbages we bought, and we'll bring some back to the village from what we sell in the next few days. Then we'll give some to the village chief, Wan Tongsheng, and the neighbors around us."

"Weizhong, you guys come and help as well. After dinner, go to the shop in front to check out the renovations."

"Let's keep it simple for lunch and just make some noodles. We'll have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner when we return to the village in the evening."

"it is good……"

Liu Caixia asked Liu Xiaolu to take out some dried noodles from the space, and some canned seasonings that she had stockpiled before, and then stir-fry the noodles with egg and cabbage sauce.

The things in the space are getting less and less. Although a lot of food stored in this era was added later, most of them are mountain products and dried meat. Cooked food is getting less and less. Many things are non-renewable. After stabilization, we still have to find a way to make them, especially sanitary napkins.

Liu Caixia felt that the stockpile was too little. There were quite a few women in her group, but she only gave them sanitary napkins. Although she was very frugal, they still had to use them every month. She really couldn't stand asking them to use menstrual pads made of wood ash.

Liu Xianxue and her sisters had used this before they met Liu Caixia. It was really miserable. They never want to experience that again.

They have been talking about this matter for a long time. They must study it. Even if it cannot be made into a modern style, they will try their best to move in that direction.

Therefore, they had already discussed it privately that cotton, straw paper and other things must not be lacking after things settle down.

Liu Caixia poured a bottle of side dish into a bowl and took it to the kitchen. When the water boiled, she put the noodles in to cook first. She put a bowl of cooked noodles for each person, wiped the bottom of the pot clean, poured in oil, and then poured the beaten eggs in and stir-fried them. Finally, she added a bowl of side dish and scooped a spoonful into each bowl.

A bowl of noodles with egg sauce is ready.

It looks fine.

Mrs. Tian and her family have become accustomed to Liu Caixia using so much oil and seasonings when cooking, and they all eat the same without following the rules of other wealthy families.

The master and the servant eat different things, or rather, the servants eat the leftovers that the master can't finish.

They always eat together.

"Mom, this dish is delicious and crunchy. What a pity."

Liu Caixia smiled. She knew what Liu Xiaolu meant by "what a pity", which was that there were not many left in the space.

"It's okay. Mom will make it later. When the time comes, plant some kohlrabi and make more for yourself. You can eat it when you want to in the winter."

"Sure, there's mushroom sauce and beef sauce, too. You can make more in the future. Maybe our family will become the Lao Gan Ma of this era if we make it well."

Liu Caixia looked over and saw that Mrs. Tian and the other two had finished eating and were cleaning up the pig's internal organs, so she said, "It's not impossible, but packaging and storage are a big problem. If we can make sealed bottles and jars, they will be easier to sell if they can be stored for a longer time."

"Yes!"

Lin Weizhong finished his big bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls, then he took a tape measure made of cloth and went to the shop in front to measure the size.

Record the design dimensions of the shop, how to place the tables, chairs, and cash register, measure the dimensions and write them down in a notebook, then take it home and ask a carpenter to do it accordingly.
