C19 Depressed

Chapter 18 The following period of time, Jin Niang kept on thinking about this. She was busier than anyone else when it came to sunning the prawns, cooking the shrimp sauce, making prawn cake s, and harvesting acanthopanax s!

With such a small girl coming to the market, she would definitely come at the right time, her mouth was sweet and she could speak, her business was not bad, and with that girl looking enviously at them, she would immediately think of making prawn cake s to sell, but this thing did not have much technical content, so Jin Niang knew that it would not be long before she finished selling it.

Her original goal was not this either.

However, Lin Dong was furious, they were initially doing well, but with two new families suddenly appearing in the market to compete with them, how could he feel at ease?

That's right, Jin Niang didn't bother Su Mo Yan anymore, she had dragged Lin Dong to help him, and every time, she would give a few coins as compensation.

Even if his parents found out, they would only encourage him to follow Jin Niang and play around. The little kid would even give them two coins every time she returned, not to mention the time when she would even bring prawn cake s to eat.

When the business wasn't so good, Jin Niang decided not to do this anymore. During this period of time, the money she earned was enough to buy glutinous rice, but there was still one condition missing from the implementation of her plan for the next stage, thus she planned to do something else.

Ever since the rain had started, the heavens seemed to compensate for the drought that had occurred a while ago. It would happen every two or three days, and it wouldn't be long before the weather cleared up. It was a perfect match for the summer.

However, with the arrival of August, the weather became noticeably colder with the arrival of rain. Sometimes, it was still very hot, and there was a requirement to make wine. The temperature could not be too high, nor could it be too low.

Wine brewed at too high a temperature could be used as vinegar. The temperature was too low to ferment slowly, making people anxious to death. The best time to brew was in the autumn, so it wasn't too high or not too low, which was a good fit.

All she was going to do was wait until the weather got cooler.

When she was free, she started to think about pastries. The first thing she thought of was cake. In her previous life, she had cooked this thing in an electric cooker, cooked it in an oven, and even tried to make it with a microwave.

However, using the current pot, she didn't know if it would work.

The other problem was that he had to beat the eggs to make the cake. It was best to beat the cake into a cream shape, so he wouldn't drop the chopsticks. Previously, he only needed to beat the egg in a few minutes.

She lowered her head to look at her small physique again. Although she was unconvinced, she had to admit that she really didn't have the strength to beat the egg properly.

The most important step in making a cake is to beat the eggs. The quality of the eggs directly affects the final softness of your cake.

Ask for help? To whom? Lin Dong was not big, how much strength could he have?

Cooking biscuits? No molds, no oven!

A tart? Still no molds, no oven! And another one, no butter!

Thinking about it, Jin Niang was a little disheartened. She had thought that she had done quite a bit before, that she knew quite a lot of things.

But now that she looked again, without those modern and convenient tools, she actually didn't know anything!

Isn't that too depressing?

Jin Niang, who found out that she had become a piece of trash, was somewhat depressed. After being discovered by Su Mo Yan and the rest, she thought that she was unhappy that her business had been stolen, and she even comforted her for a long time.

Jin Niang did not want to care about them, how could you understand my feelings?

But when she turned around, she began to clench her fists and secretly make up her mind. Wasn't it just because she didn't have those convenient tools? There was always a way for her to overcome it. She would definitely be able to do it, definitely!

But there seemed to be a very important thing to be done before all that, and that was to get some milk back.

There was no one in the village who raised cows, and no one in the village had heard of anyone who raised cows in their homes. In the village, there were no people who raised cows, and no one had heard of anyone in the village who raised cows, and no one had ever raised cows.

She didn't know if there was a difference between milk and goat's milk, but at this moment, she realized that her previous abilities were all built on convenient conditions, putting her in an era where there was nothing. She was just as dumbfounded as before.

It was really enough!

Unresigned, Jin Niang went to the village to ask around, to see whose family's sheep had just been laid down, to buy some goat's milk as backup. Even if it couldn't be used, it could still be drunk.

Lin Dong brought Lin Xu and a few others out, and when they saw Jin Niang, they excitedly ran over, "Jin Niang, what are you trying to do? We can help. "

It just so happened that Jin Niang had no clue what was happening right now. Thinking that they would be running around the village all day, and should be more knowledgeable than her, she asked: "Do you know which family's sheep are newborn baby sheep?"

Lin Dong was startled, "You want to buy sheep?"

Jin Niang rolled her eyes. Who asked if they were sheep or if they were lambs that needed to be bought? Can't I buy goat's milk?

However, he felt that if he told him the truth, he would definitely ask him why and would need to explain it to him. Thus, he just said in a bad mood, "Why speak so much nonsense, do you know?"

Lin Dong did not care about her attitude in the slightest, and laughed, "I really do know." As he said that, he pushed Lin Xu out, "Hey, the sheep in his house are the ones that have just been laid down, one black and one white. He still thought he was going to buy sheep this year.

Jin Niang didn't think that the sheep raised by Lin Xu's grandfather would just happen to come down at the right time, and she was immediately pleasantly surprised. It's much easier to get acquainted with others, so she excitedly said to Lin Xu: "Let's go, take my place to visit your house."

Lin Xu was a little conflicted. His face was twisted into a frown and when Lin Dong saw that he was not moving, he pushed him away, "Why are you not moving? "What, unwilling to part with it?" Even the way she looked at him was a little unsightly.

Lin Xu glanced at him, then said in a small voice, "Grandfather said that our family's sheep are not for sale. We must raise them and grow up to sell to my school."

When Lin Dong heard this, he looked at Lin Xu seriously, "You want to go to the private school?"

Lin Xu nodded, "That's what my grandfather said."

The other children all looked at him enviously. Being able to enter the private school in the village was a big deal, even the children who entered the school walked with more pride than them.

However, the private school was not something that could be entered just because you said so. It costed two taels of silver a year, which was not a small amount. There were also the scattered pens, ink, paper and books, which were all money.

It wasn't that there weren't any scholars in the village, but most of them were people who worked hard to provide for their family. They lived a difficult life, and all of their hopes were placed on the scholar.

Being the first in the rank of a soldier was not only a symbol of one's status, it also represented one's rights and wealth.

It was the same for the Elementary Scholar examination. With only one person in the family, the whole family would be able to enjoy glory and wealth.

This is also the reason why those people didn't give up on supplying the scholar back home even though they had gone through so much hardship. The reason was because they were looking at the luxurious food and the servants that came back after they had developed, and had the mindset of a gambler betting that I would ascend to heaven along with them, and that they would always place bets on my future, thus continuing to place bets.

This was a love that could not be abandoned, nor was it willing to be abandoned!

The status of a scholar was very high, which was also the reason why the other children looked at Lin Xu with envy. Lin Xu, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed.

He had been envious of others before, but because he had lost both his parents and lived together with his grandfather, he was more mature than the other children. He knew his family's situation, so he neither cried nor made any requests.

Now that he heard his grandfather's words, he was indeed pleasantly surprised. But then, he realized that entering the private school required a lot of money. His grandfather was old, and his family didn't have much money, so he slowly cooled down.

He shook his head at his grandfather and said no, he wasn't going to the private school and was studying by himself at home. His grandfather also knew that this child was afraid of spending money, so he told him to sell his family's lambs for money to read.

Jin Niang was also happy for him. In this era, other than studying, there was no better way to become famous, and Lin Xu was quite smart. As long as he was given the chance, he believed that he could travel a long distance.

However, thinking that she had misunderstood, he explained, "I won't buy your family's little lamb, I just want some goat milk."

Lin Dong, who had already been distracted, frowned when he heard this. "Why do you need goat's milk? It doesn't taste good! " With that, he grinned, obviously having drunk too.

Jin Niang waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, my cooking is definitely delicious."

Lin Dong thought about the taste of goat's milk and looked at Jin Niang. She was conflicted, not knowing whether he should believe her or not.

Jin Niang ignored him and looked straight at Lin Xu, "Bring me over there, I didn't want it for free, it's just money."

Lin Xu touched his head, smiling foolishly, also feeling embarrassed that he had misunderstood her. When he heard her say that he would give him money, he immediately waved his hands, "I don't want money, it's fine as long as you want it, I don't want money."

Where was the logic of collecting money from others? It was all personal property, and besides, other people didn't like it either.

"Let's go and take a look first." If Jin Niang didn't argue with him here, how many lambs would there be left after the two of them drink their milk?

Thus, a group of people majestically rushed towards Lin Xu's home. Lin Xu's grandfather was feeding the ewe and had put down his work when he saw them come in.

These children were all close to Xiao Xu, and came to his house often. He was not unfamiliar with them, but when he saw Jin Niang walking in front of him, he revealed a look of curiosity.

They were both from the same village, so it didn't even take half a day for anyone to find out what happened in their family. He naturally knew about Jin Niang, too.

However, he still had a deep impression of Jin Niang and heard a few things from her mouth. The copper coins and food that Xiao Xu brought back, as well as the look of worship on Jin Niang's face when she brought them up, made him very curious about this Jin Niang.

Unexpectedly, she had followed him home.
