73 Chapter 73 A Question
Zhou Ying greeted the crowd. After choosing the spot for the shed, she left them to their things and returned to the front yard.
After a short while, the women who wanted to learn to grow bean sprouts came over one after another.
After everyone had arrived, Zhou Ying started her lesson. She told them the whole process of growing bean sprouts and the things to pay attention to.
In the end, she even took them to the kitchen for a visit. The whole process took less than 15 minutes, and the women were in disbelief.
“If I knew it was so simple, I wouldn’t have come to learn,” someone said regretfully.” I’ve just thrown in a hundred clay bricks for nothing.”
“No one forced you to come.”
Mrs. Bai turned her head and scolded the person. “Besides, everyone knows how to cook, but the same dish will taste different when cooked by different people. If you want to sell your food for money, you have to learn how to cook, don’t you?”
“Indeed, no matter how easy it is to grow bean sprouts, we’ve lived half our lives without anyone discovering it.
Sixth Aunt Gu agreed. “I think it’s better to go home early and try to grow bean sprouts.”
Everyone immediately shut up when they heard that. Those who confirmed that they had remembered everything immediately went home to work. Those who weren’t confident asked Zhou Ying a few more questions and only left after they remembered everything.
When most of them had left, Gu Chengxi walked in with a half-carried basket of firewood and said, “Third sister-in-law, uncle said that Chengrui asked me to come and learn how to grow bean sprouts. Is that true?”
“Of course, it’s true. Follow me.” Zhou Ying brought him to the kitchen and taught him about it. Just as she finished, Gu Chengrui walked in with some things. He looked at Gu Chengxi and said, “Chengxi, you are here. Help your sister-in-law cook, and let’s have lunch here. ”
He handed two pounds of streaky pork and their sauces to Zhou Ying as he said that.
Gu Chengxi’s eyes lit up when he saw the food.” Third sister-in-law, are you planning to eat zhajiangmian for lunch?”
“Yeah, zhajiangmian is simple to cook, and everyone loves it.”
“Sure, I’ll help you start the fire.”
“Then you guys go ahead; I’m going to the back.” Gu Chengxi said as he led the donkey cart to the backyard.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengxi cooked in the kitchen. When they were almost done, Zhou Ying asked, “Have you been eating well at home recently?”
“Still the same, but I occasionally find some wild game on the mountain to eat. Plus, you guys give me some snacks sometimes, so it’s okay. ”
“I see. Growing bean sprouts is an opportunity, so you better seize it. ”
Gu Chengxi paused before he smiled and nodded.” Thank you, third sister-in-law. I understand.”
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Not only had the patriarch helped to build a spacious donkey shed, but he had also helped to build a chicken pen.
When they were finally done, Zhou Ying brought two pounds of tofu for each of them to express her gratitude.
Following that, the village was quite harmonious. On the seventh day, Sister Tian was the first to grow her batch of bean sprouts. Following that, everyone succeeded one after another, and there were more people selling bean sprouts everywhere.
Therefore, in less than two days, many people suffered a blow due to the oversupply.
In the end, Father Gu and Second uncle Gu bought over their bean sprouts at the price of two coppers and then sold them to the neighboring county by boat. Their business was going well.
However, Tian Jiawang didn’t sell his bean sprouts to them. Instead, he pushed his cart to town and the villages to sell them, having quite a good business.
That afternoon, Zhou Ying collected the dried yuba when Tian Jiawang passed by. He saw and greeted her, “You sure are busy.”
“That’s right. Brother Tian, you’ve sold them out so quickly?” Zhou Ying turned her head and asked.
“I supplied some to a small tavern, so it was a quick day.” Tian Jiawang paused for a moment and pushed his cart into her garden.” Sister, do you still make the braised dried tofu you made before?”
