C4 Business

The next day.

Wei Shuyu put the silver close to her body and made an excuse to go up the mountain and chop firewood. She carried the basket on her back and went up the mountain with her tools.

As he chopped wood, he searched for something he could use to make money. After yesterday's observation, she found that the stalls that sold food were all stalls filled with staple foods or pastries. There was nothing like the modern leisure food. Leisure food is modern but popular, the practice is simple.

Suddenly, Wei Shuyu's gaze focused in one direction, her eyes brimming with great surprise. I've found it!

He quickly ran over and saw an apricot tree in front of him. It was probably because the apricot tree was sour and astringent, so no one had plucked it all. Putting the basket upside down on the ground, Wei Shuyu relied on her small body to lightly step on the basket and climb up the tree. After wrapping the apricot with her clothes, she carefully jumped off the tree. She planned to make fried almonds for sale. Although there were also some stir-fried goods, the taste was simple and unlike the modern era, there were many different kinds of almonds.

Wei Shuyu also found some green fruits on her way back. Wei Shuyu tasted them and felt a little sour, but she could also directly slice and roast them to eat. With the idea of seizing every opportunity to make money, Wei Shuyu picked a bunch of fruits, filled the half-a-person tall basket, and left for the city with the basket on her back.

He spent money to rent a four-day kitchen near the east city. Since it wasn't for food, he could earn some extra money. Thus, the other party happily agreed. Wei Shuyu spent the whole morning cooking almonds and dried roasted fruit. After they were separately packed, she pushed the family cart to the East Market.

After finding an empty space, Wei Shuyu began to peddle, "Take a look. Sweet almonds with honey, crispy roasted fruit, and only sell for four coins. If you pass by, don't miss it!"

Everyone surrounded Wei Shuyu curiously as they heard about the dishes they had never eaten before. They kept asking her all kinds of questions.

"Almonds? I actually ate salted meat, but this is the first time I've seen one made from honey. "

"Can you still eat dried fruits after you roast them?"

"This big brother here, this dried fruit is not directly roasted on the fire. Instead, he is trying to think of a way to remove the moisture within it, leaving only the sugar inside. The dried fruit is crispy and sweet, and can last for more than ten days without spoiling. Where can I find such a good item? " Wei Shuyu began to promote herself to the crowd.

Everyone chatted for a while, but no one was prepared to pay up. Finally, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked up to Wei Shuyu and handed her four pieces of money. "My lady, could you please give me a packet of fried almonds?"

"Alright." Wei Shuyu took the money, wrapped the honey almonds in bundles and handed them over to him.

Under the expectant gazes of the surrounding people, the middle-aged man picked up an almond and put it into his mouth. It wasn't as bitter and bitter as the normal almonds, but it had the sweetness of honey and brought out the fragrance of the almond.

"Not bad, not bad." The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, "Give me a bag of dried fruits to taste."

Wei Shuyu quickly wrapped another bag of dried fruits and gave it to him. She didn't take away the money he gave her, instead saying, "Big brother, you're the first one to take care of my business. This bag of dried fruits is for me. How about you try it?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wei Shuyu and said, "You little woman, you know how to do business." Then he took out a piece and tasted it. It was crisp and sweet, and he nodded in satisfaction. He then took out 16 gold coins and said, "Then just give me two more bags."

The smile on Wei Shuyu's face became even more radiant. "Alright, take it. Next time, please take it."

When the crowd saw the middle-aged man leave with satisfaction, those who had hesitated a moment ago also stepped forward.

Soon, all the almonds and dried fruits that Wei Shuyu had prepared were sold out.

"Everyone! "Today, all the fried almonds and dried fruits have been sold out. Those who can't buy one, please come back tomorrow."

Those who couldn't buy it immediately complained, telling Wei Shuyu to do more tomorrow, and Wei Shuyu agreed with a smile.

After returning the cart, Wei Shuyu carried the basket and headed back into the mountains. She still remembered using chopping firewood as an excuse, but now that a day was about to pass, she still hadn't found a single firewood. When they reached the mountains, Wei Shuyu casually picked up some dry twigs and returned. In any case, there were enough for these few days, so no one would praise her for her diligence.

Wei Shuyu left home and saw Lady Wu standing at her doorstep, craning her neck to look around. When she came closer, Lady Wu angrily scolded, "You went to chop firewood for the whole day. I think you're really lazy?" "Don't think that you don't need to do anything else just because you said that you'll give me twenty silvers. If I find out that you're lying to me, be careful of your skin!"

Wei Shurou, the younger sister from the Wei family, came out of the room when she heard the sound. Without even looking at Wei Shuyu, who was standing next to her, she gently persuaded, "Mother, why do you need to be so angry about this kind of thing? You won't be staying in our house for much longer. You said that at the door and made the neighbors laugh, but it also shows that you're not magnanimous enough, mother. It's like you're involved with the widows of your deceased second uncle."

"I want to see who dares to say that!" Lady Wu shouted.

Wei Shurou continued to persuade her and helped Lady Wu into the room.

Wei Shuyu sneered coldly, no longer paying attention to the mother and daughter who were putting on an act. He turned around and returned to his room, and started calculating how much he could earn in the next few days.

Since today was the first day, Wei Shuyu didn't dare to prepare too much for fear of not being able to sell it all. After deducting the cost, she earned about one or two silver coins. There will probably be more people tomorrow...

Wei Shuyu frowned. It seemed that she still had to think of other ways to earn money just because she didn't have enough money to buy the fried almonds and roasted fruits.

On the other side of the teahouse, after Wei Shuyu left, Manager Yu thought for a whole night and finally decided to give it a try. He had painstakingly built this teahouse for so long, yet he was still unwilling to let this end in failure. He might as well give it his all.

Wei Shuyu was prepared to buy fried almonds and dried roasted fruits earlier that day, but she found four or five people standing in her usual stall, looking around. Was there someone waiting to buy something earlier today? Wei Shuyu walked up to them, a little puzzled. "What do you want?"

A few people surrounded Wei Shuyu in surprise when they saw her. One of them was so anxious that he wanted to pull her away.

"What are you guys doing!" Wei Shuyu frowned.

The others were taken aback. They realized that the other party might have misunderstood him. A somewhat familiar person hurried forward and said, "Miss Wei, I've finally found you. Our manager is asking you to come over. Come with us quickly."

Wei Shuyu recognized him as the waiter she had met the day before at Ming Xiang Teahouse. After a moment of thought, she nodded at him. "Let's go." The waiter quickly led the way, while the rest of them grabbed their things and headed straight for the Tender Fragrance Teahouse.

Manager Yu was pacing non-stop in the hall. From time to time, he would lift his head to look outside the door. He was feeling anxious, why had he not invited Miss Wei in yet?

"Manager!" Wei... Miss Wei is here! " The head waiter ran in, gasping for breath.

"It's true!" Manager Yu looked up in surprise and quickly went to the door. He saw Wei Shuyu walking over slowly. When she saw Manager Yu, who was standing at the door, she greeted him with a smile, "Manager Yu, we haven't seen each other for the past two days, you look a lot more haggard."
