Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Aunt Zhao came over, took Yun Zhenzhen's hand and whispered, "Sister, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If he really has good conditions, you can also consider finding another one. After all, Shuze has been gone for so long, you can't always think about him and spend your life with him."

Yun Zhenzhen touched her nose in disappointment. In fact, her memory of Qin Shouze was already very vague, not to mention that she had traveled through time and space, so she had no feelings for him.

But she has no intention of getting married for the time being. When she thinks about having to serve her parents-in-law and take care of her husband after marriage, she feels overwhelmed. She can't even take care of everything herself.

Every morning when she struggled to open her eyes, the children had to prepare water for her to wash her face.

She is so lazy that if she really remarries, she will probably be despised by her in-laws in this era. It is better not to get married.

……

yard.

The lively housewarming party ended.

Old Man Qin helped a familiar man carry back the tables and chairs borrowed from various families, while Old Lady Qin called on a group of aunts to clean up the aftermath of the banquet.

These people don't help for nothing. They will take home some of the leftover soup and other things from the table to eat. Even leftovers are rare and delicious.

Qin Shouren and Qin Shouyi stayed to help process the pig offal for tomorrow's business. A hunter happened to come to deliver the goods today, and it was estimated that there were about 100 pounds of them.

Separate each part of the pig's large intestine, pig blood and other internal organs.

Jiang was also there to help tidy up.

Chen actually wanted to go home, but she stayed anyway. If she didn't help, she would feel embarrassed to ask her third brother's wife to take some of the remaining braised meat back with them.

While washing the pig intestines, she was calculating in her mind how much meat she would need to take back for dinner.

One pound should be enough, right? She had just been helping in the kitchen and saw with her own eyes that there were still several large basins of braised meat left. They were saving it for selling at Sancha Market tomorrow. There were four people in their second room, and one pound could last for several meals. But she didn't know how to ask for it...

Just as Chen was calculating silently in her mind, her aunt who had just finished helping came over.

Qin Zhan's wife handed over the dozen copper coins in her hand and said, "Sister Yun, I just had some delicious braised food from your place. I want to buy a pound to take home for the children to try. Do you think it's okay to sell it to me for seventeen cents a pound?"

After all, it's a banquet, so you definitely can't bring the whole family. Usually only two or three people come, and the children at home are waiting for you to go home and cook.

The cost of braised meat is about fifteen cents. They sell it for twenty-two cents at Sanchaji. Now they save the shipping cost when selling it to fellow villagers, so seventeen cents per pound is very fair.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and weighed a pound of meat for her, then pointed to the remaining pork offal on the side and said, "There's some pork offal soup in there. If you like it, take some home. It's free."

Although a lot of the leftovers were taken away by the aunt who came to help, there were still a lot left. It would be a waste if we couldn’t finish them in the next two days.

"Oh, thank you very much." Qin Zhan's wife didn't take more. She filled the bowl halfway and stopped.

Grandma Zhu trembled as she took out a few copper coins and said, "Can you weigh out half a pound for me? My eldest grandson has definitely never tasted meat this delicious. I'll bring it back for him to try."

"Then I'll take half a pound too. Your pork is cheaper than the pork sold in town, and I don't have to process it myself. It's really a good deal."

"I don't want the braised pork, but please sell me some of the pork soup so I can take it back home for my grandmother to taste the meat."

"My wife just gave birth and is resting at home. She didn't come over today. Please bring me half a pound of it back for her to try."

"..."

Many people who came to the banquet paid for the meat, but not every household had enough money to buy meat. In the end, only fifty or sixty kilograms of meat were sold.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at what was left in the pot. She had been planning to go out for business tomorrow, but now the amount was reduced by half, which also reduced a lot of her burden.

Chen was watching from the side. She had originally wanted to ask for a pound of meat to take back, but now she felt embarrassed to do so.

Others paid for it, but she got it for free. If this gets out, she will be too embarrassed to face anyone in the village.

I could only stop thinking and mutter, then sit down and continue washing the pig intestines.

"Uncle and second uncle, thank you for coming over to help us these past two days." Yun Zhenzhen came over with a smile. "And his aunt and second aunt, thanks to you coming over every day, otherwise I don't know if we could have managed it so perfectly. We still have a lot of pork offal left at home, and a few pounds of braised meat. Take them back and feed the children at home."

In one basket, there was a can of pork soup with a lot of dry goods, and a bowl filled with a large piece of pork, which looked like it weighed two or three pounds.

Qin Shouren immediately waved his hand: "We are all family, isn't it normal for us to come and help? How can we eat and take? Besides, my third brother's wife has already provided us with such a good livelihood, it would be too much to be greedy."

Qin Shouyi quickly refused.

Chen immediately said, "Brother, this is also my sister-in-law's kindness. Let's keep it. Besides, the children haven't eaten meat for a long time. Their bodies are growing slowly. They need to supplement it."

If she had known that her sister-in-law was so generous, she would have given two or three kilograms at a time. Why was she still thinking so much just now?

Old Mrs. Qin on the side glanced at her speechlessly, what a glutton.

"Brother, you said we're family, so it's not too much to take some meat back." Yun Zhenzhen continued, "If you really feel bad, please help fetch a few buckets of water and fill the water tank in the yard. The children are studying, and I don't want to disturb them."

There are several water tanks piled up in the yard of the new house, so that they can be filled up at one time and used for several days in a row. Since there is no shortage of water, our family takes a bath more frequently and uses water faster.

The two brothers nodded quickly and without saying a word, they carried the buckets of water and walked towards the well.

Yun Zhenzhen walked into the house and continued to clean up. The new house was even more spacious than the village chief's adobe house. Each room had windows and was very bright. It was already the best house in the entire Qinjia Village.

After fetching water, Yun Zhenzhen walked up to the two of them and said, "Several hunters in the village brought us game, as well as pork from the butcher's house. There's about two hundred kilograms in total. Can we sell it tomorrow?"

Qin Shouren patted his chest and assured: "Of course, there is a lot of traffic at Sanchaji. Recently, there have been returning customers. One or two hundred kilograms a day is not a problem."

Since the braised food wonton business was handed over to him, it has been progressing steadily. He also mentioned that he could increase the daily output from 100 kilograms to 200 kilograms, or even more.

The more she sells every day, the more money Yun Zhenzhen earns.

During this period, we can sell about 100 kilograms of braised food and 5 kilograms of dumplings every day, and earn about 3 taels of silver. Excluding their wages and costs, the net profit is about 1 tael of silver.

In total, this small business alone has earned more than ten taels of silver.

Since making money, people have become more confident. The children in the family are now completely different from when Yun Zhenzhen first met them. They are full of energy and hope for the future.

The preparation of braised meat and dumplings was all done in Aunt Zhao's yard. The workload was huge, with one or two hundred kilograms, and everyone was busy until late at night.

Early the next morning, Qin Shouren and his brother set up their stall early.
