Chapter 31: My Sister is Really Good

  It's so simple to roast chestnuts, others would have figured it out with a little thought, but they can't do this business for long. They don't have many chestnuts and aren't worried about not being able to sell them. Shen Sisi didn't plan on selling for too long either. Although roasting chestnuts is profitable, the profit is too low. Her main goal was to use roasted chestnuts to exchange for some money, eat some meat, and save up some start-up capital to buy raw materials.

  The seasonings of this era should all be available, it's just that they may not know how to use them, or they are too expensive and can't bear to use them, or those culinary skills are all in the hands of famous chefs and are not usually passed on. Shen Sisi was thinking that these seasonings might not be easy to find, and she would have to ask around specifically, or go to a pharmacy to take a look...

  *Sigh*, no seasonings, so many delicious dishes can't be made. Although the space has a complete set of seasonings, the quantity is limited, what to do after using them up?! Can't just sit and wait for the mountain to be empty.

  She was thinking of learning a few more things, so that when she couldn't make money by selling chestnuts anymore, she could sell something else, and still earn some money as working capital.

  However, there are too many books here, and it's not easy to find a suitable one for the time being. Shen Sisi is not in a hurry either, planning to take her time to look for it later.

  After a long time, she left the room and it was already late. She let out a yawn and saw that the three brothers were asleep, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the characters they had written on the ground, she was slightly stunned - the Three Treasures really did have spiritual energy and natural talent, their handwriting was extremely neat and tidy, much better than hers. She smiled faintly, after all not disappointing her expectations. This guy was definitely worth cultivating, if he could pass the Imperial Examination to become a Xiucai that would be even better...

  She narrowed her eyes, lay on the broken wooden bed and fell asleep, vaguely thinking that this bed was exceptionally hard. In the future, when she had money, she would definitely buy the softest bed to sleep on.

  The next day, after waking up before dawn, the eldest son finished feeding the chickens and pigs and immediately went to peel chestnuts. Although he was honest, he also knew that this could earn money for his family to buy meat and improve their living conditions, so he was very enthusiastic. As for the second and third sons, they didn't need to be told and were already squatting on one side peeling chestnuts, while discussing going to pick some more chestnuts to bring back.

  Zhong Gensheng wanted to speak but hesitated, after finishing breakfast, before going out, he worriedly said: "......Dabao, are you guys still going today?! If not, then just don't go?!"

  "Father, if we don't sell them now, after some time the chestnuts will be out of season and there won't be any to sell. Father, rest assured, we'll sell them all and then come back."

  Zhong Gensheng said worriedly: "...... Then why don't I go with you guys?!"

  "Dad, nothing will happen, you have to go, if the land is not cultivated, the weeds will grow fast and high, and it's hard to deal with them after they absorb the nutrients from the wheat seedlings..." Tuni hastily said: "Don't worry, mom and dad, we won't have any problems."

  Zhong Gen Sheng thought and thought but couldn't come up with a plan, worrying about the children and also worried that the grass would grow too high, affecting the wheat harvest.

  He Qiu came over and said, "Forget it, let's finish weeding the grass first, I'll take you there in two days when I'm busy. Dabao, take care of your brother and sister..."

  "Uh-huh." Dabao responded with a deep voice, and smiled foolishly. Only Tuni could persuade his parents, he didn't have such good teeth, besides, whatever he said, his father wouldn't agree. Having a younger sister at home was really great.

  Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu finally left with their hoes on their shoulders.

  "Quickly, peel and cook the chestnuts, then hurry up to sell them. We'll come back at noon to eat something, and this afternoon we'll go to the mountain to pick some more chestnuts. There's a lot of work to do today, so let's get moving!"
