The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 158 Making a Living

I ate pumpkin shredded pancakes and drank pumpkin flower soup. I had also eaten dishes stir-fried with the young tips of pumpkin.

Even the pumpkin seeds are edible. I didn’t expect that this pumpkin is so full of treasures.

In addition to these dishes, there is also a dish of mung bean jelly on the table.

This time I added some sesame oil and sesame oil, and the taste is much better than before.

"Grandma, we ground a lot of mung bean powder this time. Mung bean powder is the key to making mung bean jelly. Let's scrape the powder off and dry it in the sun. When you want to eat something, just take out the powder and make it."

"Okay, I didn't expect it could be done this way. You made so much today, and I was afraid it would go bad if I couldn't finish it."

The two of them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, were chatting and laughing here, and Liu, who was standing next to them, felt more lively.

"San Ya, it's just... this... Tsk..., do you think anyone would eat this jelly if we sell it on the street?"

Liu's eyes were full of hope. She felt that if she could make a living from this flour, wouldn't it be better than farming?

"Haha, auntie, it will definitely work. As long as you want to do it, let's give it a try. I see people selling tofu on the street, but I've never seen anyone selling jelly. We're the only one in the whole Jinmiao Town, so we'll definitely sell out!"

Zhou Mingshu has wanted to do business for a long time, but no one in her family has mentioned it, and she doesn't have that much time now.

Now that her aunt-in-law had proposed this idea, it really touched her heart.

Now that she has Chili in her hands, can she make as much money as she wants? !

When Mrs. Liu heard her niece say this, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed smiles, and she felt that this business could be successful.

"I think it can work. While no one else has eaten it, even if everyone in the town only eats one bowl, we can still make a lot of money. Mom, do you think this business can work?"

Whether this matter succeeds or not depends on the old lady's words.

"Sure, of course. We have a donkey cart now. You can do whatever business you want. It's very convenient."

Old Mrs. Zhou had no intention of refusing.

It's a good thing that children want to do some business and make more money.

Moreover, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she has always been smart. It was her idea to start the family's braised meat business, and she helped the eldest son earn some money.

Oh, yes, the braised meat business.

"Old family, are you going to continue the braised meat business in the future? If it weren't for what happened to your father, you would still be doing well now."

Speaking of this matter, Liu had thought about it before.

The braised meat business is also quite good, especially in the summer when everyone likes to eat some cold dishes.

But this kind of meat is easy to spoil, easily bitten by flies, and is also troublesome to handle.

"Grandma, aunt, we can start the braised meat business together. Our family will have meat to eat in the future. It's great. Besides, the mung bean jelly we are going to make is a cold dish on the table. People who are willing to buy it will probably be willing to spend a little more money to buy a meat dish."

"What San Ya said makes sense, but this meat is a little difficult to handle."

Liu didn't want to do it, she felt that just making this mung bean jelly was enough.

"That's fine too. Let's do it slowly first. If we do well, we'll have more regular customers and we can add braised dishes later."

Mrs. Zhou thought this was a good idea, and Mrs. Liu agreed with a smile.

So everyone got together to discuss how to do this business and when to start. After everything was finalized, they packed up and washed the dishes and pots.

Several grown men carried the packed cloth bags into the granary.

After doing all this, it was already dark.

Zhou Mingshu simply tidied himself up and went back to lie down.

I climbed such a long mountain today, and my calves are still a little sore and numb.

Early the next morning.

"Saya, hurry up and get up. We are going to pick strawberries. Big sister and big brother are going. If you get up late, we won't take you with us."

Zhou Mingqi's loud voice penetrated the wooden door and woke Zhou Mingshu from his sleep.

Yesterday’s strawberries were really delicious. They were so delicious that everyone was still thinking about them the next day.

That's why I got up so early.

"Okay, I'll get up now."

Zhou Mingshu got up slowly and got himself ready bit by bit.

Even if you get up early, you have to eat breakfast before going.

The weather today is still good, with no clouds in the sky. God is still quite kind to us.

After a simple breakfast, the older children in the family picked up their backpacks and put on their straw hats and left.

Led by Zhou Mingqi, they headed straight for the hillside they had reached yesterday.

When they were almost there, they saw a few white shadows walking back and forth on the hillside from afar.

"It's over, it's over, someone got there first!"

Zhou Mingqi panicked and almost fell into the ditch. Fortunately, Zhou Mingzhi was quick-witted and pulled her out.

"Why do I think that's not a human?"

Even if it was a human, it would be impossible for him to wear such neat clothes, some of which were big and some were small, and the posture didn't look right.

A few people walked closer and realized that it was really not a human.

It turned out to be a few goats, eating strawberries on the ground.

"Oh, I was wondering, what a coincidence! When San Ya and I were picking fruits yesterday, we found many signs of gnawing on the ground. It turned out to be animals from the mountains. This makes sense."

When they saw it was goats, they were not so anxious anymore, because they were the ones who were stealing their food.

Just let them eat for a while.

They thought so, but before they could get close, several goats ran away.

They are so clever!

"Oh, what a pity! I was thinking about catching one. If so, our family will become rich again. I know why San Ya can catch wild boars. Let's just walk deeper into the mountains. Why worry about not encountering any prey~"

"Haha, that's true. If there's a ravine or a pit nearby, we can chase the goats around and maybe we can catch one."

A few people laughed, squatted down and started picking wild strawberries.

"Is that a goat running? That's clearly hundreds of pounds of meat!"

The five brothers and sisters picked strawberries while chatting, and after picking the big ones, they went down the mountain and went home.

Leave some small ones behind and come back after a few days when they grow up.

The backpacks were not yet full, but they continued searching in the woods without fear of getting tired.

There are not only wild strawberries in the mountains, there may be other wild fruits.

If not, you can pick some wild vegetables and bring them back.

After all, it took so much effort to climb such a high mountain. Wouldn't it be a waste of energy to just pick these strawberries and go back?

"Pull some grass and put it on the mat, otherwise it will be wilted by the time we get back."

"Yeah, it's better to put some cushions on it. If you accidentally fall, you'll have enough to pick up for a while."

Several people obediently put some grass in the backpack.

"Big sister, there seem to be some garlic in front, should we pick some?"

Zhou Mingshu was the first to discover delicious wild vegetables.
