Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 432 Ancient Business Manual 7

Cassava is grown in every household in the village and is a common crop here, so the price is very normal.

Chu Yuan counted out thirteen coins and handed them to Aunt Hu: "Aunt, this is the money for cassava and milk, please take it."

Aunt Hu counted the money and put it in her arms: "I'll go get you some cassava."

Aunt Hu is an honest person. The cassava she packed were all large and of good quality. There were only a dozen cassava pieces in ten kilograms.

After Chu Yuan returned home, he began to peel the cassava, then cut it into pieces and ground it into fine pieces using a grinding wheel and water. The juice obtained after filtering was left to stand overnight. After the sediment below was dried, it became the cassava flour needed to make pearls.

While she was doing this series of work, Chu's father and mother had already stopped what they were doing and came over to watch.

"Big girl, what are you grinding these cassava for?"

"Dad, didn't I say before that I wanted to start a business? This is a new food I came up with. I'll let you and mom taste it when it's ready. If it tastes good, we can sell it in town."

There are bamboo and cassava. I heard that she also bought tea and brown sugar on the street today. Father Chu really doesn't know what she is doing.

"Girl, our family doesn't lack those few dozen coins. If it's too much trouble, let's not bother with it."

Chu Yuan saw the disapproval in her father's eyes, and thinking of the way her father usually treated his daughter, her voice trembled a little: "Dad, before getting engaged, I want to try to make a career of my own, so that when I get married in the future, I will have a skill in my hands, and I won't be looked down upon by others."

In ancient times, women were required to obey their husbands after marriage. No matter how comfortable their life was as a girl at home, after marriage they had to take care of their husbands and children and shoulder the affairs of the family.

So when Chu Yuan said this at this time, Chu's father really couldn't refuse anymore.

His voice also softened unconsciously: "Well, if you need any help, just tell Dad. If you don't have enough money, go ask your mom for it."

This is what it means to support her business. Chu Yuan's expression suddenly changed from gloomy to bright: "Okay, thank you Dad."

But there was really nothing that needed his help at the moment. Just a dozen cassavas. Chu Yuan quickly ground them into soup with his own millstone.

Then all we have to do is wait. We have to wait for the dried bamboo tubes, the settled cassava flour, and the milk to be available tomorrow.

During this period, another big event happened in Zhujie Village. Xia Xixi had not been home for two days. At first, the Xia family did not take it seriously and even scolded her for being lazy.

Later, officials came to the village and said that someone had gone missing in the back mountain of Zhujie Village. The Xia family then realized that their eldest daughter might not have run away on her own, but had been abducted by someone.

Speaking of it, the person who disappeared in the back mountain is probably of high status, otherwise so many officers and soldiers would not have been alarmed. They surrounded several nearby villages and asked every household whether they had found anything unusual.

Chu Yuan's family lived not far from the foot of the mountain, and Chu's father was a hunter who traveled in the mountains all year round, so the Chu family was the first family to be questioned.

It’s just that in recent days, Chu’s father has not gone up the mountain because the road is slippery, and Chu Yuan, the only person in the family who has gone up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, is a weak woman, so she was easily ruled out as a suspect.

Instead, the Xia family, whose members also had missing members, were listed as key suspects by officers and soldiers.

Chu Yuan happened to pass by when he went to Aunt Hu's house to get milk, and saw that his house was completely surrounded by soldiers and no one was allowed to approach.

Of course, it was none of her business.

After bringing the milk back, Chu Yuan started to make milk tea. If it was made with pure milk, the aroma of the milk tea would be richer.

But the cost of making this was too high, so Chu Yuan put some sugar in the pot and fried it with the tea leaves until it was slightly bubbling. Then he added half a bucket of boiling water. After the tea leaves were brewed, he added half a bucket of boiling milk.

After everything was mixed evenly and the aroma of milk tea began to emanate, she used gauze to filter out the remaining tea leaves and got a bucket of steaming milk tea.

Chu Yuan shouted into the yard at the top of his voice: "Dad, Mom, Hudan, Erniu, come here quickly, the milk tea is ready."

The whole family gathered in the kitchen, especially Hu Dan. He looked at the milky white liquid in the bucket that exuded a sweet smell, and his mouth began to drool unconsciously: "Eldest sister, is this the milk tea you mentioned?"

"Yes," Chu Yuan served them each a bowl and said, "Try it and see how it tastes. Can we take it to the town to sell?"

Looking at the bowl of sweet soup in their hands, which was made from a mixture of milk, tea leaves and sugar, both Chu's father and mother had somewhat strange expressions on their faces. How could it be delicious if these three unrelated things were put together?

The two little kids, Hudan and Erniu, didn't have so many worries. They drank from the bowls the moment they got them.

"Sister, this milk tea is delicious, sweet and has a light fragrance." Little girl Erniu held the bowl and sipped the milk tea into her mouth, looking very satisfied.

Hudan showed his love for milk tea with his actions. He gulped down the milk tea in a few gulps and the bottom of the bowl was empty. "Eldest sister, can you give me another bowl?"

At this time, Chu's father and mother also tasted the flavor of it. The family unanimously agreed that this thing called milk tea tasted very good, and it was a method of making that they had never heard of before. If they took it out to sell, they might really make a good profit.

With the approval of his family, Chu Yuan can now do his job with full confidence.

She explained in detail to Chu's father and mother her ideas and the method of making the finished milk tea, including the methods of making small ingredients such as brown sugar pearls and candied red beans.

"Wait, girl, you've been talking for so long, but you still haven't told me what you used the bamboo you cut the day before yesterday for?" Father Chu asked the point right away.

"Look at those bamboo tubes that have been dried in the sun. Do they look like cups for drinking water? I want to use these bamboo tubes as containers to hold the brewed milk tea. When the time comes, I will ask someone to write some poems on them. I guarantee that they will be loved by the students in the academy."

Father Chu had not thought of this, but he had to admit that it was a good idea: "But, the person who wrote the poem...?"

"Dad, I've already thought about it. There are many students in Yunxuan Academy who are short of money and will take some work copying books in the bookstore.

We can also hire these students and ask them to write poems on five bamboo cups for one penny. This job is much easier than copying books in a bookstore."
