The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

The people watching the excitement were dazzled by what happened in just a short while, as if it were a magic trick.

I don't know what that thing was, but it was quickly shredded. Then I didn't see anyone busy at all. They just took a small spoon, scooped in various seasonings one spoonful at a time, and then stirred it with chopsticks. It was done, and the quantity was quite large.

I thought this was super expensive, but it's only six wen! What a bargain! I've never seen a meat bun cost four wen, and even just one doesn't fill me up. This is called something called "liangpi" (cold noodles), and it's such a big portion for only six wen. What a bargain!

Everyone who wanted to eat rushed to buy. Hadn't you heard that the first ten people get a penny off, and the next ten get seven pennies? Zhou Dajiang was afraid that too many people would cause chaos, so he asked everyone to line up and come one by one so that everyone could have a share.

Soon, a long queue formed in front of the stall.

Because there were not many bowls, only a few people were eating in front of the stall. The others went home to get bowls or borrow bowls from others to buy this new food.

Rumors always spread quickly. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon everyone knew that there was a new food at the market today and it was selling out. Then, careful people noticed that there were stalls selling the same food at both ends of the market. They went up to ask and found out that they were the same stall. So, what are you waiting for? Wherever there is a queue, there will be one. So, the stalls at both ends started to get busy.

Some people also asked about sea jelly. Because the quantity was small, Zhou Dajiang and his colleagues were selling it with them. However, the price of sea jelly was affordable and sold by kilogram, so the sea jelly sold out very quickly.

The cold noodles also sold out very quickly, and everyone packed up and left before noon.

On the way back, Zhang, the village chief, asked Dajiang with a smile: "How is my job as a babysitter? Am I a good one?"

It turned out that he was the first person to try it.

Zhou Dajiang was worried that people wouldn't approve of the new food and would just watch it for fun without eating it. So, on the way here, he made an agreement with Village Chief Zhang to act as a guest. His reward was two servings of cold noodles. The amount Zhang ate at the market didn't count, and the two servings would be delivered to his home after he returned.

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter. He was indeed a scholar, with so many ideas.

Compared to today's huge sales, this reward is so cheap!

After returning home and unloading the car, everyone had a simple meal. Before they could sit down to calculate today's income, they heard someone knocking on the door.

It turned out that many people in the village went to the market today, so they naturally knew that the two dishes, cold noodles and sea jelly, were made by the Zhou family.

Among the people who knock on the door, some want to buy some to take home and try, while others just want to ask if they can take some goods out to sell.

Zhou Dajiang naturally wanted someone to help him sell the goods, but he couldn't agree immediately. He just replied that he would discuss it with his family first and asked everyone to come back in the evening and he would give everyone an answer then.

After seeing off the visitor, everyone in the family sat down in a row in the main hall. Zhou's mother, Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying took off their purses and poured them into the basket on the table.

Chen Xiuying was responsible for counting the money, and Zhou Sisi, a counting expert, also came forward to help.

Zhou Dajiang began to summarize his sales experience of selling cold noodles and sea jelly in the morning.

“We had free tastings in the morning, and the results were quite significant.

Village head Zhang was a very capable person. He led a large group of people to buy the products by himself. When the people behind him saw that everyone was buying the products, they couldn't help but buy some to try them out.

Next time we go to an unfamiliar place to sell, we can just find someone to be a model. He doesn’t have to do anything but eat right next to us. The more delicious the food, the better. That way, everyone will want to buy it.”

Zhou Dahe immediately raised his hand and said, "I'm an expert at eating. I guarantee you'll all be drooling and want to eat with me."

Zhou's mother knew her son's character best, so she retorted, "Come on, with that big mouth and fork of yours, you finished a serving of cold noodles in just three or five bites. Who's watching?"

Mrs. Li was also shaking her head: "You eat too much. We gave it all to you. What else can we sell? No, no."

Zhou Dahe had a pretty good feeling about himself, but he was directly rejected by his mother and wife, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Sisi, who was helping to string copper coins nearby, said, "Next time you go somewhere unfamiliar, can you take me and my two brothers with you?

We three kids eat less, so we can take turns eating. And there are those who bring their kids to the market. When they see kids eating at the stalls, they’ll definitely buy some for their kids to try, even if they don’t eat themselves.

When everyone heard this, they all agreed that Sisi and the other two should go with them next time.

On this side, Chen Xiuying finished counting the money, and the number that came out surprised her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Chen Xiuying pushed the basket forward and said, "The total sales were 4,020 wen."

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. How much? Did I hear correctly? Four taels of silver in just one day! That's a lot!

Regardless of everyone's disbelief, Chen Xiuying began to count the accounts and said, "We brought more than 600 pieces of cold noodles and 60 kilograms of sea jelly, and we sold them all.

Most people here buy pre-mixed soup, and only a small number of people take it home and mix it themselves, so the amount of money is not surprising."

"After deducting 110 coins for the raw materials, 50 coins for my mother's vegetables, 40 coins for the oxcart, 1 tael of silver for the iron steaming tray, and the labor costs as previously agreed, the total is 1,320 coins.

The cost of the wipes will be calculated separately by Zhou Dajiang, and we have to buy them from him, so they are not included in this cost.

The total cost of all the above is 2,520 coins, leaving 1,500 coins, or one and a half ounces of silver."

As Chen Xiuying spoke, she divided the money. The money for the dishes was given to Zhou's mother. The money for the raw materials, the car, and the steaming plate were all paid for by her family and were also taken out and put aside.

Then he took out another 1,320 coins and calculated the labor costs for everyone. Yesterday, the two groups each steamed more than 300 pieces of cold noodles, and the sea jelly was made by the three sisters-in-law together.

So Chen Xiuying gave Zhou's mother 300 coins, and Zhang, Li and herself 340 coins each.

Chen Xiuying pushed the remaining one and a half taels of silver to Zhou's mother, saying it was the public share and she could distribute it as she pleased. Logically, after the family business was divided, she should have kept the money for herself, but she was a "White Bone Spirit" in the modern era, and this was her first time collaborating with someone in ancient times, and it was a very small business. She didn't expect to make much money, but she wanted to see how many people here were worth her while.

If everyone is greedy, then this will be a one-time deal.

On the contrary, she would need to be more attentive and take good care of them in the future, hoping that they could become her right-hand men in the future. With this in mind, she passed the decision to Zhou's mother.

Everyone was stunned by her action. Was she going to share all the money she earned with everyone? This was too generous!

"Where can I find such a good brother-in-law/sister-in-law? Oh, I really fell into a lucky nest." Zhang and Li were secretly very happy in their hearts, and they became more determined to follow their brother-in-law/sister-in-law closely in the future.

After all, Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying have been married for many years. Although his wife had not said anything to him before, Zhou Dajiang understood what she meant as soon as she made this move.

Then, he also said: "Mom, since Xiuying gave you the money, then you have the final say on how to distribute it."
