The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

"The pills sold for a total of nine taels and five qian of silver, plus three taels and two qian of shampoo, so today's total income is twelve taels and seven qian of silver!"

Mu Dong put the heavy purse on the table.

"I collected three hundred wen from the shop's coin box, which held one liang and nine qian, and brought over thirteen liang of silver for Miss Song. Please count some."

Song Yuntang counted the money briefly and gave two hundred coins to the brother and sister.

"This is your reward."

"How can this be possible? Sister Song has already given us our wages, we can't take this money."

"Take it if you want. I have to thank you for your dedication in helping me sell things." She took the basket of pills and placed it on the table. "Pills can't be stored for too long, so I won't be making too many in the short term. Since the sales of the blood-nourishing pills in the shop are low, I won't be restocking them for now. I'll just make ten of each of the other four kinds of pills."

After all, there aren't many wealthy families in the town, so starting tomorrow, I'm afraid the town may not be as lively as it is today.

……

That night, after washing up, Song Yuntang suddenly had an idea and set the six traps that Song Jinsheng and Song Mazi had brought the day before in a circle along the wall.

She locked the two puppies in the next room and lay on the bed looking at the moon outside the window.

She licked her lips and suddenly missed the sour plum soup Xu Qingye bought for her when they went to the county town. Unfortunately, no one in the town was doing this business.

In this hot weather, it would be so refreshing to drink a glass of iced sour plum soup.

She knew the recipe for sour plum soup, which required soaking black plums, licorice, hawthorn, tangerine peel, mulberries, and roselle for fifteen minutes, then boiling it for half an hour. As for chilling it, she could use the mountain spring water on the farm.

Sour plum soup can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, promote salivation and stimulate appetite, strengthen the stomach and help digestion, regulate qi and eliminate accumulation, and also has the effect of refreshing the mind. Summer is not over yet.

The academy is about to start school, and more and more people will come to the town. Maybe this small business can be done there.

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Only through multi-faceted development can we merge streams into rivers and seas and resist various changes that we may face in the future.

Thinking of this, she decided to take a walk around the academy tomorrow. If there was a suitable place selling sour plum soup, she might as well give it a try.

As he was thinking, Song Yuntang fell asleep in a daze.

……

The next morning, he put away the traps in the yard, fed himself and his two puppies, and then went out.

The big pot has been sent to the farm. Song Jinsheng will watch over the boiling of the shampoo water. It is not difficult and has been done here many times. She really has nothing to worry about. She can just go over and see the results after she is done.

There are some things that you should always let others do with confidence.

Yee Ho College starts school on August 12th. Today is the 10th of August. Students who live a little further away from the town have already come to rent houses nearby or moved into the dormitories in the college. It is very lively outside the college.

The scholars' ages ranged from ten to over twenty years old.

Judging from their clothes, some of them must come from well-off families.

Studying is extremely expensive, and those who can come to the academy to study should not come from poor families.

After all, families like the Song family, who have no money but still want to send two children to school, are a minority.

Song Yuntang walked around the area and found that all the shops outside the academy that could be rented out had been rented out. He also asked a few shops indirectly and found out that the shops here were in the off-season during the field holidays. Even if they were vacant during normal times, it was during the off-season. Basically, they were fully rented out before the peak season arrived.

The implication was that she was a little late.

The streets on both sides of the academy are mainly lined with relatively quiet shops such as bookstores and teahouses, as well as some small restaurants.

There are quite a few stalls on the street opposite the academy, but it is not easy for her to move things in and out every day by herself. Moreover, what she wants to sell is not only sour plum soup, but also some cakes and desserts.

If you are planning for the long term, you definitely won’t be able to rely on a small stall.

This street is mainly composed of snacks and noodle shops, and there is also a medium-sized restaurant, but it doesn't serve sweet soup or anything like that.

In front of the restaurant, there is a corridor about four or five feet deep and wide, which can accommodate two people passing side by side. This corridor is not an aisle and does not lead to anywhere. There is a long table and two benches across the corridor, which should be a place for guests to rest.

Looking at this corridor that was four or five feet wide and two meters long, Song Yuntang suddenly had an idea.

She didn't need a stall that was too big anyway, and this place was really good.

As soon as Song Yuntang entered the Jade Pavilion, a servant came to greet him.

"Sir, are you the only one here?"

"I'm not here to eat. Is your boss here?" Song Yuntang said, glancing towards Feicuixuan. No wonder he didn't care about the corridor outside. The restaurant lobby was quite spacious, and there was another floor above, which was quite spacious. It was just that it was still early, so there were no customers in the restaurant.

It’s still unclear how the business is going.

"Miss, is there anything you want to talk to our boss about?" asked the waiter.

Song Yuntang pointed to the corridor outside and said, "I want to ask, is the corridor outside your Jade Pavilion rented?"

"That corridor cannot be rented out. It will affect the external image of our restaurant. Someone asked before, and the boss specifically instructed us, what kind of business do you want to do, young lady?" A middle-aged man wearing a black cap came in from the back door. Judging from his attire, he should be the owner of Feicuixuan.

"I mainly sell some snacks. Since the corridor at Feicuixuan is not rented out, I won't bother you anymore." After Song Yuntang finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the middle-aged man, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that the girl was young and pretty, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he hurried forward.

"Girl, stay."

Song Yuntang looked at him in confusion, "Anything else?"

The middle-aged man smiled and looked very friendly.

"Business is tough these days, especially with the poor harvest this year. A lot of people lose money doing business, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to make back the money I invested. If you want to make some money, one of our girls recently got married, and we're short of staff. Consider working for us. It's an easy job, just serving tea and wine to the guests in the side rooms. We can negotiate the wages."

Song Yuntang looked at him dimly.

"I'm getting married soon, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient. Goodbye."

After saying that, he nodded slightly and left the Jade Pavilion.

The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly chased after him.

"Girl, I'm just pouring tea and wine. Nothing bad will happen."

Song Yuntang waved his hand and said, "I'm really going to get married, so please find someone else."

Seeing her determined to walk away without looking back, the shopkeeper sighed, "Why is it so difficult to find a suitable female worker these days?"

The servant at the side looked at Song Yuntang as he walked away, "Boss, if you can't find a female worker, just find a male worker. Who can't serve tea and water? With such a high salary, I think I can do it."

The shopkeeper turned around and slapped him.

"Nonsense, don't I know how to do it?"

The servant rubbed his head aggrievedly and said weakly, "Then I won't fight with you for it."

The shopkeeper took a deep breath, snorted, and turned to go to the backyard.
