Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The boss personally escorted the blue bricks to Tangjia Village, otherwise he would feel at ease.

Because Xiao Yunxi is a big customer, it is estimated that she will need more tiles later. The boss is very good at dealing with people.

500 coins for a square brick. One brick is less than 700 yuan, so it is also calculated as 700 yuan. A total of 100 square bricks, 50 taels of silver,

The shipping fee is 20 wen per square brick, a total of two taels of silver, but the boss waived it directly.

The price was acceptable, so Xiao Yunxi paid it readily. However, the price of the adhesive material almost made her lose her temper.

In ancient times, there was no cement, and the bonding materials were all kinds of strange. Some used glutinous rice, eggs, brown sugar, and even pig blood.

During famine, people "ate dirt", but in fact they were eating food trapped in the walls.

Glutinous rice is needed for glutinous rice mortar, and its price is comparable to that of special rice from the northwest. In addition, the sheep peach vine is the material for making rice paper, and the price of the sheep peach vine juice is naturally not cheap.

Adding the freight from the south, the price is simply astronomical.

"How about using mud, grass, and earth slurry instead?"

The amount used to build the foundation is small and acceptable, but the main structure requires glutinous rice mortar, which costs more than 300 taels, which is really amazing. Uncle Tang suggested that we change it to mud, grass and soil mortar.

The yellow mud water is stirred continuously, and licorice crumbs are added to make it viscous. The main focus is on cost-effectiveness, and the effect is not bad.

Xiao Yunxi finally chose glutinous rice mortar.

Glutinous rice mortar has good durability, strong toughness, high adhesion and anti-leakage. The Great Wall, the Forbidden City and border defense posts are all built with glutinous rice lime mortar, which cannot be opened even by red cannons.

The quality is good, so she can accept the higher price. She can make her money back in just two days of selling tofu.

Zheng Tianming: So your house was built with my sponsorship!

The boss who sells adhesives collected the deposit and delivered the goods. Xiao Yunxi accidentally discovered lime.

She did know the recipe for glutinous rice mortar,

One part ash is mixed with river sand and two parts loess, and mixed with glutinous rice and sheep peach vine juice. It is a solid and will never fall apart. It is called three-in-one soil.

The ash inside is lime.

However, the lime in Daxia is called clay lime powder, which is granular and the amount used for foundation construction is small. She had never seen it in person, but she didn't expect that it was just the powder after the lime was dried.

Add some water and it will become lime, which can be used to make soft tofu!

Some dishes taste better with tender tofu, such as spicy tofu. After Zheng Tianming tasted the tender tofu version of spicy tofu, he was completely captivated by Xiao Yunxi.

"The first time I ate tofu, I thought it was already the most delicious thing on earth. I never thought there would be even better dried tofu, and now you can make such a pink and refreshing tender tofu!"

The biggest difference between tender tofu and firm tofu is that tender tofu has no taste of brine, but a refreshing bean aroma, which can be better integrated with heavy-flavored dishes.

Zheng Tianming rubbed his hands, with infinite shyness:

"Let me discuss something with you."

"I disagree."

The shyness is gone, and all that is left is jumping up and down:

"I haven't even told you yet, why do you disagree?"

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips:

"Look at the way you're posing, can anything good happen?"

"..."

Well, the beauty trap doesn't work on Xiao Yunxi.

"As you know, I broke up with my family. Now the restaurants in three counties, including Luochuan County, are all mine. I want to expand and become stronger..."

Xiao Yunxi waved her hands impatiently:

"Get to the point."

"I want to partner with you to open a restaurant. I'll give you 2% of the shares, and you'll provide the recipes."

Xiao Yunxi sneered:

"I treated you as a cash cow, earning some pocket money, and you coveted my recipes and copied them at the bottom. If I were to call you a profiteer, you'd be the one."

"Look at what you said. If there's money, can we all make it together?"

Zheng Tianming had been eating and drinking for free at Xiao Yunxi's house these days. He had seen French fries, popcorn, tofu, dried tofu, peppers, tomatoes, and all kinds of new things that were not available in Daxia.

The restaurant sells taste and freshness.

Any of the dishes and snacks in Xiao Yunxi's hand would be a hit and would definitely be a hit. He wanted to buy the recipe, but Xiao Yunxi refused to sell it to him.

They don’t even provide dried tofu, he is trying to save the country in a roundabout way.

"Without the protection of the Zheng family, can you keep your own property?"

"My uncle is in the capital. He's not a high-ranking official, but at least he's a close minister to the emperor. Even though he can't help me, he can still provide me with protection."

In the end, Zheng Tianming did not reveal the fact that his adopted elder brother's uncle was the prefect of Northwest City. If he had told her, Madam Xiao would definitely not agree.

"3% profit. I will provide new dishes every month. You will be responsible for the operation. I will check the accounts every month. If the profit is far from the expected level, you need to buy back my share according to the market price."

"make a deal."

Xiao Yunxi was very happy.

It was really a dream come true. There was someone to manage her and provide her with support. She could make money without doing anything. How could she refuse such a good thing?

You can also plant more new varieties of vegetables and fruits in the space without having to worry about sales. You can make double money from one business. Is there anything more enjoyable than this?

of course,

Things can never be absolutely perfect. There are always happy things, but there are always sad things.

The building materials needed to build a house can be bought with money, but there is a serious shortage of manpower. People are needed to make glutinous rice mortar, and the wood needed for house construction needs to be cut in the mountains.

The construction site added another 10 helpers to keep up with the progress.

When there are many people, the meat will be consumed quickly.

She had bought almost all the butchers and poultry in town, and the chickens and ducks at home could no longer withstand such consumption. Xiao Yunxi was considering whether to go into the mountains.

Even if she couldn't catch any prey, she could at least pretend to get the wild boar out of the space. The only thing she was a little worried about was the tiger roar she heard outside the mountain last time.

If she encounters a wild boar, she can still resist. But if she encounters a tiger, she has to hide in the space. If the tiger stays put like the wild boar king, she will be bounced out of the space and killed on the spot.

Just as she was thinking about the tiger, a scream suddenly came from the back mountain:

"Big bug!"

"There's a big beast on the mountain!"

The helpers at home were cutting trees outside the mountain when they heard the tiger roaring. It felt like it was right next to their ears. They didn't dare to pick up their tools and ran back crawling.

Xiao Yunxi gave up the idea of ​​going into the mountains, ate the chickens and ducks first, and asked Daniu to go to the county to buy some to be on the safe side. As for the wood, it was better to go to the county to purchase ready-made wood.

Don't save a few bucks and cause a loss of life. The hired workers are the backbone of the family. If something happens to them, it will be a disaster.

The tiger's roar is a warning to her, but it is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune for some people.

The news of the tiger's appearance spread like wildfire. Many people from the surrounding villages formed teams and went into the mountains, intending to kill the tiger and sell it to Wu Youqian. The temptation of money made people crazy.

The hunters warned the young people not to go, but no one listened, and as a result, a tragedy occurred that evening.

Xiao Yunxi was eating when Old Lady Lu suddenly rushed into the yard:

“Lao Liu’s family, Lao Liu’s family…”

She cried anxiously,

"Go to the mountains and save my son, go quickly..."
