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

When the man walked up to it, he found that the stall had already been cleaned up.

"I'm sorry, we've sold out. If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow." Yun Zhenzhen apologized sincerely.

"Oh, it's my fault for being late." The young man was very annoyed and continued, "Then what time will you come tomorrow?"

"It's still this time today." Yun Zhenzhen said as she picked up the backpack and prepared to leave.

"Okay!" The young man's eyes lit up. "It's settled then. You must come."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash. He came and went in a hurry.

Yun Zhenzhen held Qin Nan's hand with one hand, looked at Qin Wen with the other, and said softly, "Let's go shopping!"

......

The guy who didn't buy the braised pork returned to a house.

dong dong dong-

"I'm here." An old man came out to open the door. He had white hair but looked energetic. When he saw the man, he said unhappily, "Da Yang, where have you been going crazy again? Don't you know I need help here?"

The man who was replaced by Da Yang stepped sideways into the courtyard, looking frustrated. "Master, you don't know, I ran into a man selling braised meat on the street. I was so attracted by the aroma. Unfortunately, I went too late and couldn't buy any."

"Tsk, you have a big mouth, eating this and that. What good food can you find in this poor country? When I'm done with my work and return to the county, I'll let you eat as much as you want."

"Okay." Da Yang said with a smug look on his face, "Master, your word is as good as gold. You are not allowed to go back on your word."

"You bastard..."

The two of them went back into the house after arguing.

......

On the other side, Yun Zhenzhen brought the children to the grocery store and bought some soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments. She didn't need the white sugar for the time being, as she had some leftover rock sugar at home, so she saved money to buy more.

He then took them to the herbal medicine shop and took them for a walk, hoping that the owner would prescribe some Chinese medicine for treating common diseases to keep at home.

After all, there is only one veterinarian in the village, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth from the town to the village. If there is an emergency, it may be too late.

After asking the owner of the drugstore, Yun Zhenzhen prescribed all the medicinal herbs for treating colds, high fevers, and pain relief. She even bought herbal seeds that could stop bleeding and detoxify to take home and plant.

I asked about the price and it was quite expensive. All in all it would cost at least one or two taels of silver.

But thinking that it could at least be used in an emergency and health was the most important thing, Yun Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and decided to buy it back.

He took the half-string of copper coins he had just earned from selling meat, and then took out the money he had earned from selling candy last time. Just as he was about to hand it over, he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve from behind.

When Yun Zhenzhen turned around, she saw Qin Wen looking at her with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong, Awen?" Yun Zhenzhen looked at him and tried to encourage him: "If you have anything, just tell your mother."

When Qin Wen heard Yun Zhenzhen claiming to be his mother, he did not refute. He hesitated for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"No one in the family is sick, so there's no need to buy these Chinese medicines. The money I save can buy a lot of food, enough for my family to live on for a long time."

An eleven-year-old child has begun to understand and live. Now is a disaster year, and no one will spend so much money to buy preventive herbal medicine.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at him and was not angry at what he said. Instead, she felt happy.

The fact that he could say these things to himself showed that he was slowly accepting himself in his heart.

Yun Zhenzhen decided to respect the children's opinions and looked at the two little ones: "Then let's vote on whether to buy herbal medicine to prevent diseases."

"I agree to buy it first, what about Xiaonan?"

Qin Nan didn't really understand the significance of buying herbs, but her stepmother had been doing everything right recently, so she trusted her 100%: "Xiao Nan has no objection~ I agree."

Two to one, Qin Wen was quickly defeated.

Yun Zhenzhen happily took the Chinese medicine and seeds from the boss, and thoughtfully wrote the purpose of the seeds on them.

The mother and her children boarded the familiar ox cart, which shook for more than half an hour before they saw the familiar mountains.

At the entrance of the village, they met a group of women sitting together grinding demon taro. When they saw the three of them, they greeted them warmly.

"Hey, the Rule family, are you going to town again?"

"Aunt Qin San, I heard you braised some wild boar meat and took it to town to sell. How's it going?"

Yun Zhenzhen gestured for Qin Wen to carry Xiaonan home first, while she would deal with the women at the village entrance. "Yes, otherwise the wild boar meat wouldn't last long, so I thought about selling it."

"Oh my, it looks like they've all sold out. How much money did they make?"

The aunties in the village like to listen to gossip every day when they have nothing to do, and they all stare at her with wide eyes.

"Oh, this pound of pork only sold for ten cents, and I spent it all on buying things after a busy day."

A shrewd woman had already made a small calculation in her mind: "Ten cents per catty, and you know that the wild boar meat I sell is only five cents per catty, this is more than double what I made."

The other women were also extremely jealous. He earned half a year's expenses of other families in just one day.

Yun Zhenzhen pretended not to see the eagerness in their eyes and continued, "Oh, you don't know, it's very difficult to sell the braised meat if it tastes good. The main thing is that you have to add sugar, which costs me fifty or sixty cents per pound. There are also other spices, which are also very expensive..."

"What? We have to add sugar?" All the women present had complicated expressions. They thought they had found a way to make money. If they worked for two days, they wouldn't have to worry about their income for half a year.

Once the cost of sugar is taken into account, it is reasonable to sell it at ten cents per pound.

But making braised meat requires manpower and may even delay busy farming season. Thinking about this, it would be easier to sell raw pork.

"Look, I just sold some braised pork and bought a few pounds of sugar. Most of the money went into it right away." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and looked at everyone: "If anyone wants to learn anything, feel free to come find me."

When everyone heard this, it seemed that there was not much profit to be made. What if they added sugar and still couldn't sell it? It would be better to just sell pork and buy some food to supplement their families.

The women who had been surrounding Yun Zhenzhen with great interest also dispersed.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at them with a slight smile on her face, and then she slowly walked back home.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked Qin Li to mark out a piece of land in the backyard, turn it over, and plant the herbal seeds in different areas according to their functions.

Xiao Nan is taking care of and feeding the chicks in the yard.

He went in and out of the kitchen to braise the meat. With the help of several children, the remaining wild boar meat was soon made into fresh braised food. As usual, Yun Zhenzhen asked Qin Wen to bring a bowl to the old house.
