A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Seeing the indignant look on Ma Daju's face, Chen Changsheng smiled and persuaded, "Okay, Auntie, please go home and do your work first."

"Dafu Niang, I heard that you bought a bullock cart. Please show me around. It's almost time for dinner. Let's take a walk and go back."

After Ma Daju said this, she enthusiastically pulled Chen Changsheng back to the courtyard.

Looking at the oxcart, Ma Daju admired her neighbor so much that she was so capable and promising. When she thought about someone actually doing something small and scheming against such a powerful person, she, Ma Daju, must find out.

After the braised pork was stewed in the pot, Chen Changsheng guided Dafu to prepare several other dishes. Each family member had a bowl of brown rice with four dishes. This meal was definitely the best in Chenjiacun.

Everyone ate to their satisfaction.

After dinner, Chen Changsheng went to the backyard to check the pepper patch as usual. The growth was normal and there shouldn't be any big problems.

Thinking that there were people who wanted to learn from her in the land and vegetable business, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and sneered: "You can learn, but you still can't surpass me." 】

"Dafu, go to the back room and get a bag of soybeans. Sanshou, if you have quick legs, go to the old house and borrow five baskets. Mom will teach you something new today. Learn not to tell others."

Several children guessed that their mother was thinking of something new. They were not fools, so they would not reveal their business to others.

Chen Dafu took out a bag of soybeans, and everyone held a basket in their hands.

"Mom, what should we do next?"

"Pick the beans."

Growing bean sprouts is not that difficult. As long as the beans are of good quality and the water is changed frequently every day, you can basically succeed.

Chen Changsheng scooped a basket of soybeans for everyone and said, "If you see any black, wormy or cracked beans in it, pick them out and keep only the good beans."

After that, I also found two samples for everyone’s reference.

The children started working, and Chen Dafu asked while picking, "Mom, are we going to make tofu?"

"We also make tofu? Can we sell it better than others?" Erlu asked while picking, "There are several companies in the city selling it. They have been doing it for many years and they should have accumulated a lot of old customers. I'm afraid we I can’t compete with others.”

Although several children had questions on their lips, they did not stop picking in their hands.

Chen Changsheng was very pleased with the questions raised by the children, which showed that they had begun to think for themselves, especially the second child, who actually knew the word competition.

"Let's not make tofu this time, let's make something else." She shook her head and said mysteriously.

"What is it?"

"You'll know when it's done." Chen Changsheng smiled and let it slip.

The beans delivered by the grain store were of very good quality. Only twenty or thirty soybeans in a bag were cracked, and the rest were in good condition.

She washed the beans and soaked them in water for two hours. After soaking, she washed them again before starting to sprout bean sprouts.

Although growing bean sprouts is simple, there are still some details that you need to pay attention to. For example, you must first lay a layer of fine gauze on the bottom of the basket so that the soybeans can always be kept moist when watering every day.

The soybeans should also be spread evenly, and the basket should be covered with something to protect it from light, so that the bean sprouts will not become bitter and turn black.

At the same time, you must also pay attention to heat preservation. Raw bean sprouts require a hot and humid environment. It is summer, so you don’t have to worry about temperature issues.

Speaking of this, Chen Changsheng suddenly thought that if bean sprouts grow in winter in the future, he would need to build a greenhouse. With the greenhouse, in addition to bean sprouts, he could also grow other vegetables.

She used almost thirty kilograms of bean sprouts today, and she planned to sell five baskets of the front and back legs separately.

After this batch was finished and she explored the market, she would produce a few more baskets. It was estimated that these baskets were not enough. The next time she met Mrs. Chen, she would have to ask her to help make a few more.

What Chen Changsheng doesn't know the most is fine handwork. Women's work such as basket weaving, handkerchief embroidery, and clothes making is very interesting to watch, but his hands are too stupid and he can't learn it.

Fortunately, now that I am a widow and the head of a family, I don't have to do these things.

The family was busy for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and it was time to study again in the day.

The children were preparing tables, chairs and water for use. Chen Changsheng lit a pine oil candle, and a small light lit up the yard.

Although it was good in ancient times, it was really inconvenient to have no lights, especially for a modern person like her, who was used to going to bed late and suddenly asked herself to go to bed at seven or eight o'clock, how could she sleep.

Every time, Chen Changsheng would try his best to wait until ninety o'clock before lying down. After lying down, it would take a long time before he could really fall asleep.

It is very convenient to have candles. You can study and work at night and pass the time.

Before the invention of the electric light, lighting had always been a big problem for the people. The lighting tools of the Dasheng Dynasty were oil lamps and candles.

Candles in this era were generally made of beeswax, but beeswax was horribly expensive. A candle in the city cost eighty cents. It took about twenty or thirty minutes to light a candle. Only those like the Liang family and the Shen family could Only rich people can light candles.

There are also relatively cheap oil lamps. There are two types of lamp oil: vegetable oil and animal oil. Just put rushes into the oil and light it. However, animal oil is not cheap, and after igniting, it will emit an unpleasant smell after burning animal oil.

Pine oil candles are low-cost, but the only thing is that they produce a lot of black smoke when burning. It seems that it is necessary to buy some modern refined fuel in the bracelet, and mix real and fake ones together.

After Chen Changsheng taught the children the new content they were learning today, she went back to the room. She was not used to the dim candles yet. As soon as she entered the back room, she immediately summoned the virtual bracelet and bought a solar flashlight and a I also found a piece of paper and a pencil, and a drawing of a brick kiln factory.

The children were studying hard outside, and she was not idle in the house. She studied the drawings carefully, wrote down her own requirements and suggestions, and wrote a page full of paper, so that she can start work when the craftsmen come tomorrow. .
