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

The thought of this.

Everyone in the Qin family was breathing fast. In the past, they couldn't save even a tael of silver in a whole year. Now, as long as they find the right method, they can earn so much in a day. In a year, they can save a lot. What's more, there is also the braised meat business. They didn't expect that as long as they find the right method, they can also make money.

"Dad, Mom, I think our business is pretty good. We need to expand it. A lot of people didn't get to eat just now and are urging us to make more tomorrow, saying they'll definitely come back." Jiang was thinking and putting forward her own ideas: "Besides, when more people come to eat in the future, we can also make the dishes more diverse. Giving everyone more choices will also attract other customers."

Chen nodded repeatedly. "I think my sister-in-law's idea is good. Corn rice and wild vegetables are slow to sell. After all, people can make them at home, so they may not want to spend money to eat them. We can add more meat. We can sell them cheaply, and they will be happy to eat them..."

So, the family gathered around the food stall and started discussing what to eat tonight.

Yun Zhenzhen watched them express their opinions and was quite satisfied. Although she came from another world and knew more than them, everyone had different ideas. It was always faster for a group of people to come up with ideas together than for her to think alone.

In this way, a business was officially opened with the continuous improvement of all of them.

At dinner time, because the Qin family cooked a lot of food, they simply called Yun Zhenzhen's family over to eat. While eating, Yun Zhenzhen remembered something and looked at Yun Jing beside her.

"Brother Jing, your exams should be approaching soon, right? When do you plan to leave?"

Before Yun Jing could even open his mouth to speak, Wang Ze beside him replied directly, "Godmother, our exam is tentatively scheduled for the fifth day of March. We can usually go there by the end of February. We need to book an inn in advance. I'm going there too, so we can stay together."

Yunjing nodded.

"In that case, I'll go with you. After all, you two children don't even have anyone to take care of them." Yun Zhenzhen said seriously, holding the bowl.

Yun Jing was stunned. "No need, aunt. There are so many things waiting for you to do at home. I can go alone. I am already an adult and can take care of myself along the way. Besides, Wang Ze is with me, so don't worry."

"After all, you two are still children. I can take care of you along the way," Yun Zhenzhen said gently. "After all, you two should focus on the exam. You can leave the miscellaneous matters to me. This will relieve you of your worries and allow you to relax and prepare well for the exam."

In fact, she also had a little idea in mind. She wanted to go to Yuzhou to see the big scene. She had been in this world for so many years but had never been to a real provincial capital.

Furthermore, he wanted to go there to see if there were any business opportunities. Now the restaurant and home were well organized and could be expanded.

When Yun Jing heard this arrangement, he was deeply moved. If he could pass the imperial examination in the future, the first person he would repay would definitely be his aunt.

As the exam drew closer, Yun Jing studied harder and even asked Wang Ze to study hard with him. They often studied late into the night with the oil lamp still on in the room.

As time passed, the village became more and more filled with spring, and the cotton seedlings planted in the backyard were growing well.

After the seedlings grow up, she will move them to a larger area so as not to delay their growth.

Looking at so many cotton seedlings under my feet, it is impossible to transplant them all with just a few people in my family. Maybe I can hire some workers to do the work, so that my family can have some ease.

Don’t let your family worry about things that can be solved with money.

While she was thinking, many aunts came over curiously in the backyard.

"Sister Yun, what are these seedlings you're planting in the field? I've never seen anything like them in all my years."

"This is cotton. Last year I met a Western Region businessman in town. He told me that this thing can keep you warm after it grows. It is much warmer than willow catkins, and it is cheap. Then you won't have to worry about not being able to go out in winter." Yun Zhenzhen explained it to them carefully, and occasionally talked about some transplanting methods.

"It's so magical! It's cheap and warm. This thing is amazing! Can we grow it too?"

"What are you talking about? Sister Yun bought this with great difficulty. How can you say such a thing? If someone doesn't know, they would think you came here with such an intention. Shut up now."

"Oh...yes, yes."

After saying this, the aunts around remained silent, fearing that Yun Zhenzhen would think they had bad intentions.

"Everyone, you're being polite." Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile, "We're all from the same village, so there's no need to be so formal. I bought these cotton seeds hoping they would benefit the village when they grew. This is also a kind of merit."

"Really?"

An auntie poked her head out eagerly: "Can I take some seedlings home and plant them myself? Don't worry, I won't take them for free. I'll buy them from you."

"Well... I want to buy some too, so I can have warm clothes for the winter. In previous years, I could only stay indoors to warm myself by the fire, and it was hard to go out. The only cotton coat and trousers in the house had to be worn by the person who went out to do the work, and then taken off when they came back. If I had warmer clothes, it would be a lot more convenient..."

"It's okay, I've planted a lot of seedlings here." Yun Zhenzhen said loudly, "If you need any, just pick some from me and take them home to grow. You don't have to pay. I didn't spend much when I bought them."

After all, it is the first year of planting, and she doesn't know what the results will be. It is okay to let everyone take it back and try it. It is a good opportunity to see the impact of different environments on cotton and calculate its most suitable living environment. If the effect is good, the scale can be expanded next year.

Although the salt lake can drive development, it is not the main source of income for the villagers. They still need to have their own source of income.

Yun Zhenzhen's words spread quickly, and soon many villagers came to pick up the seedlings. Now they believed Yun Zhenzhen's words without a doubt. If she said it could keep warm, then it would definitely work.

Everyone can take according to their needs. No matter how much Yun Zhenzhen takes, the Shengzi Sect is very cautious and does not take too much. After all, the labor force at home is limited. If they take too much, they cannot plant it and it will be a waste. Generally, they take about 100 plants and take them back to test the waters.
