Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 333: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (5)

That empty and weak look really made Shi Qi worried. The first thing he did when he woke up every morning was to check Shen Jingnian's health and darkening value, which made Shi Qi suffer from nervous breakdown.

It is obvious that Shen Jingnian's health points are fluctuating, and he is definitely not having a good time.

There has been no news for ten days since he was taken away by Shen Yi.

During these ten days, in addition to being worried, Shi Qi renovated his straw house into a cement house and installed wooden chairs and wooden tables. In addition, he went to the village committee to learn about the situation of Shen Jingnian's family.

She was very sure that if she wanted Shen Jingnian to become a young man of good family background, the first step was to free him from Shen Yi's control and domestic violence. This required an opportunity for her to become his guardian.

Because she was not fully prepared, she didn't dare to go directly to ask for the person. In that era, it was impossible to have a recorder or a camera in the village, and even a mobile phone was a luxury.

It would be difficult for her to obtain evidence of Shen Yi's domestic violence and prostitution. Furthermore, if she wanted to become a guardian, she had to have sufficient financial resources.

Since she has decided to educate Shen Jingnian well, she cannot let the child suffer unnecessary hardships.

Shi Qi stood outside the door, looking at the warm sun, stretched, closed his eyes, and wanted to relax for a while.

I need to make some money quickly so I can go to the county town and buy a mobile phone.

Suddenly, she remembered what Aunt Chen said the day before yesterday about the 300 kilograms of cabbage that were about to rot in the backyard, and she had an idea.

If I remember correctly, there is no such thing as sauerkraut and zhacai now.

Sauerkraut and mustard are basically a must-have for every family in the future. According to the current market price in the county, it costs 300 cents per bag. If 280 kilograms of cabbage can be made into kilograms of sauerkraut, it is already very good.

After a rough calculation...well, there will definitely be no problem buying a mobile phone.

Shi Qi is a man of action. Thinking of this, he immediately went to discuss it with Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen is old and it is not convenient for her to handle those dishes. When she heard that Shi Qi wanted to make sauerkraut, she naturally supported it very much.

"Okay, my girl, just do it with confidence. I will help you in everything I can." Aunt Chen held Shi Qi's hand lovingly. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Shi Qi felt a little embarrassed when being stared at: "Auntie, thank you. I want to borrow your jar for a while. I will start to fix it today and try to package it and sell it in the county next month."

Shi Qi went to buy some chili peppers, peppercorns and other ingredients. By the time all the tools were ready and all the cabbages were washed and put away, it was already late at night.

She is familiar with every process and detail of making sauerkraut, but when she really makes it herself, she has to strictly control the quantity and flavor to ensure that it is sour, crispy and delicious, while retaining the fragrance of the dish itself.

Besides, since she had done it, she would do it thoroughly. Once it was done, she would turn it into an assembly line, let the villagers and Aunt Chen participate in it, and lead the villagers to develop.

I'll make some tonight and let my neighbors have a taste.

"Coo coo..." The moon outside the window blushed and hid in the corner of the sky.

The lights were still on in the room, and the pretty figure of a woman was writing and drawing, and then fiddling with something with a pestle.

At dawn the next day, Shi Qi rubbed his eyes and opened the jar excitedly.

Sure enough, in an instant, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people's stomachs growl.

It was only pickled for one night, so the flavor was not deep. However, Shi Qi was able to grasp the flavor and test the popularity of the sauerkraut.

It tastes sweet and sour, but maybe there are too many peppercorns, which slightly cover up the taste of the dish. In addition, it was dipped in water when it was sealed, so it tastes a bit sticky. However, the color is already appetizing.

Shi Qi picked up the questionnaire he had drawn up that night, packed the sauerkraut into several boxes, and took them to distribute to the neighbors.

"Hey, what is that little girl from the Shi family holding? It smells so good..."

When Shi Qi saw that it was Uncle Wang, he happily stuffed a portion of pickled vegetables into Uncle Wang's hands and said, "Uncle, this is the pickled vegetables I made. Please help me taste it and see if there is anything wrong with it."

Uncle Wang naturally took it happily: "Nier, no problem. I can smell the fragrance from far away. Let me try what you made."

Shi Qi pursed his lips and smiled, then went to a few more houses to distribute the whole jar of pickled cabbage.

In the afternoon, Shi Qi looked at the feedback he received and began to re-quantify and study the taste.

After another sleepless night, Shi Qi finally created a dish that satisfied him.

"Phew, that's good now. After I finish pickling these, packaging them and selling them in the county, I won't have to worry about money. It's just a pity for the little kid. He has to wait for me for a few more days." Shi Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and leaned back in the chair tiredly.

Five days later, Shi Qi packed all the sauerkraut, hired a donkey cart, and prepared to go to the county town.

"Shi's girl, are you going to sell vegetables? I tried it last time, and I couldn't get enough. I usually feel full with one steamed bun for a meal, but last time, with your sauerkraut, I ate three at once and still couldn't get enough. My old man even said it was so delicious and asked me to buy a few bags from you." I hadn't walked far when I ran into a neighbor aunt.

Shi Qi stopped the donkey cart, smiling broadly, and naturally would not refuse the business that came to his door: "Aunt Wang, of course, I'll give you another bag."

Aunt Wang was even happier when she heard this: "Oh, I'm so sorry, hey, how much is this per bag?"

Shi Qi: “Sanmao.”

Her price was not low. First, she had absolute confidence in her craftsmanship and quality. Second, she really... needed the money.

However, those who like to eat it will not mind the price, while those who don’t like to eat it will avoid it.

Sure enough, when Aunt Wang heard 30 cents, her face froze a little: "30 cents a bag? Girl, your bag is quite a lot, but our pickles are only 15 cents. Your price is too high. Can you make it cheaper?"

Shi Qi smiled calmly: "Aunt, we have already set the price. Since you are my first customer, if you really want to buy, I will charge you 50 cents for two bags, plus the one I give you as a gift, a total of three bags, okay?"

Aunt Wang nodded quickly when she heard it, but she felt a little embarrassed. Finally, she took out the money and said seriously, "Really? Girl, forget it, you pay me the original price. I can't take advantage of you because you are a young girl and you are busy doing it yourself. Your cooking skills are really good. We are so greedy that we can't eat other pickles. You get what you pay for. I support you. Here, this is 90 cents. Take it."

Shi Qi naturally had no grudges against the person in front of him, so he decisively took the money and smiled faintly: "Thank you, Auntie, I will make a new flavor next time and send it to you to try."

After seeing Aunt Wang off, Shi Qi arrived at the county.

The market in the county town is very lively, and there is a factory nearby, so workers often buy lunch here while working. As soon as Shi Qi put this new thing on the table, many people came over out of curiosity.

In order to prevent some people from being unaccustomed to the taste, she prepared a special sample.

Sure enough, after one person tasted it, his pupils dilated and he stammered, "Oh my god, what a delicacy! This is the first time I've tasted this. Oh my god, this is much better than pickles!"

"Uncle, this is sauerkraut that I pickled myself. If you like it, would you like some more? I have a lot more to try." Shi Qi said obediently.

With one person trying the food, more people will naturally come.

"Give me some too..."

“I want to buy three bags!”

She brought a hundred bags today and thought they would be sold out until the evening, but she unexpectedly sold them all out in the afternoon.

Shi Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the money in his hand and the empty car, still feeling a little confused.

Woohoo, it turns out that hard work can make you rich in this day and age!

Just as he was about to close the stall, an uncle came over breathlessly. Looking at Shi Qi's empty stall, he sighed and said with regret: "Ah, girl, I heard my co-worker bragging about it. I was so greedy, but he wouldn't let me eat it. I came here specially. How come yours is gone..."

Shi Qi: "Uncle, this is my first time setting up a stall today. I'm afraid the sales won't be good, so I didn't bring in that much. I'll come again tomorrow."

The uncle's face lit up: "Really? You'll come again tomorrow... Then I'll come again tomorrow, and you must leave some for me to try."

"Yeah, no problem."

On the way back, Shi Qi hummed a little tune happily.

This is the first time that my work has been recognized by others. It feels so good!

Of course, sauerkraut is just her first step. If it sells well, she might be able to cooperate with big manufacturers.

Bald: "Host, you are not going to deal with pickles for the rest of your life, are you? Can you be more ambitious?"

Shi Qi: "What's wrong with pickled cabbage? You eat steamed buns but not vegetables..."

Tutu: “…”

It feels that the host's ability to adapt is really strong, and it can do whatever the environment requires. Maybe... this is also a kind of ability?

As the sun sets, the woman pulls the donkey cart with a much lighter pace.

Suddenly, a roar of anger erupted violently from the woman.

"Ah...my feet..."

"Why do donkeys poop too? Why do you poop on my feet?!"

Tu Tu raised his eyebrows, then covered his mouth and laughed secretly at the look of his host being deflated.
