Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Disliked by husband's family?

This is really the typical feudal idea of ​​women in the old times that the husband is the leader.

However, Lu You also understood that in such an era, Widow Zhou's thoughts were the mainstream.

If I really were to promote the idea that women should be independent, I would probably be labeled a lunatic or a heretic.

Do things according to the circumstances. Even though he is a time traveler with a system, Lu You is not so crazy as to go against the entire feudal social consciousness.

"Auntie, how did you find yourself here?"

Inviting Widow Zhou to sit down, Lu You asked again.

Upon hearing this, Widow Zhou pushed the bamboo basket on the table closer to Lu You.

"What else can I do? I'll bring you eggs!"

Looking at the dozen or so eggs in the bamboo basket, Lu You felt moved.

But the widow Zhou was still talking to herself.

"I went to your house to see you the night before yesterday and found out that you had moved."

"After I got back, I couldn't sleep because I was worried about your injuries. So I came here early this morning in your uncle Li's donkey cart."

"But seeing you like this now, I feel relieved. It seems that you have recovered quite well."

Hearing these caring words, Lu You reached out and held Widow Zhou's hands.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for?" Widow Zhou smiled and patted the back of Lu You's hand. "I'm glad you're okay. I'll help you tidy up this courtyard later so you can live more comfortably in the future."

As she spoke, Widow Zhou stood up and rolled up her sleeves.

Seeing this, Lu You hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Aunt, you don't need to come. If there is any work in the yard, just let Lu Ming and Lu Yi do it."

"How can they understand these things? Don't be polite to your aunt. This job is not much, and it will be finished in a short time."

As Widow Zhou was speaking, she picked up the wooden barrel in the middle of the yard, but when she opened the lid and saw what was inside, she was stunned.

"Luyo, what's in here is..."

"These are the pancakes my second sister made yesterday!" Lu Ming, who was watching the excitement from a distance, answered.

Lu You glared at Lu Ming fiercely, and then looked at Widow Zhou awkwardly.

"This town is different from our village. Food, clothing, housing and transportation cost money everywhere. I thought of making some pancakes to supplement the family income."

"Unfortunately, my hands are too clumsy. I practiced for a whole afternoon yesterday, but I only made these things."

Hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.

"Silly girl, if you want to learn how to make pancakes, let me teach you!"

"You can also make pancakes?" Lu You asked in surprise.

Widow Zhou's face showed a proud look when she heard this: "What's so difficult about this? I tell you, there is a trick to it!"

…………

Half an hour later, Lu You looked at the still hard and crispy "rice crust" in his hand, and he felt sick all over.

During this half hour, she and Widow Zhou took turns making pancakes.

Lu You clearly followed the tips taught by Widow Zhou, but the pancakes she made were extremely chewy, and when it was her turn, they turned directly into "rice crust".

"Second sister, if it doesn't work, just sell this griddle."

"Anyway, we are not that short of money right now, so there is no need to get angry with it."

Lu Yi stood aside with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu You understood that Lu Yi was implicitly pointing out that he had no talent for making pancakes.

Before Lu You could say anything, Lu Ming beside him spoke first.

"Actually, I think that my second sister's rice crust tastes pretty good once you get used to it." (Crack, crack...)

"Second sister, why don't you just sell the rice crusts directly?" (Crack, crack...)

Lu Yi turned to look at Lu Ming: "Brother, you like to eat anything as long as it's not poisonous."

"Yes!" Lu Ming nodded.

"Just because you like to eat it doesn't mean others will like it too!"

"Really?" Lu Ming looked at Lu You and the other two in confusion.

(Click, click…)

Lu You, who had been defeated repeatedly, no longer had any intention of punishing his two younger brothers.

What she was thinking about was how to make money quickly.

As a time traveler, she has a broad perspective and has enjoyed the technology of the 21st century.

But at the same time, the overly convenient modern life has also made her a clumsy person.

I can’t even make a pancake right now, so what exactly are my advantages as a time traveler?

Recalling every detail of what happened after traveling through time, Lu You frowned and thought.

If we exclude the benefits brought by the system, she only has one advantage.

The operating model of modern business!

Just like the promotion for Shuxiang Restaurant, in the 21st century, even the most common marketing methods are overwhelming in this backward and alien world.

Yup!

Why did I end up in this dead end of doing it myself?

Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others.

You can completely be the operational promoter behind the scenes and outsource the production steps to others!

As his mind opened up, Lu You felt that many things that he had not figured out before were now clear to him.

"Auntie, you can cook, right?"

Widow Zhou was slightly stunned by Lu You's irrelevant question.

"Of course I can cook, but they are just some home-cooked dishes. Why are you asking this?"

Lu You did not answer Widow Zhou, but asked again.

"So how much money can you save every year now?"

"This..." Widow Zhou hesitated for a moment: "I come to the town twice a month to buy eggs, and I can sell them for about 80 coins each time."

"Add to that the three mu of dry land at home, and after deducting taxes and food and clothing expenses, at most three or four coins of silver can be left in a year."

Hearing this, Lu You quickly calculated in his mind, then looked into Widow Zhou's eyes and asked seriously.

"If so, I will provide you with three meals a day and give you three taels of silver a month. Would you like to work for me?"

"Salary?" Widow Zhou asked in confusion.

"It's just a monthly salary!" Lu You explained, "What you have to do is very simple, just help me cook and sell pancakes."

At this point, Widow Zhou finally understood Lu You's thoughts.

"You want me to do chores for you?"

"Not a janitor!" Lu You said quickly, "He's a product manager!"

“What is a product manager?”

"He is the person who is responsible for turning my ideas into reality." Lu You said with a smile: "Three cents a month, three taels and six cents a year, would you consider it?"

"This……"

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu You understood that Widow Zhou still needed a straw to break the camel's back.

In the blink of an eye, Lu You already had six more coins in his hand.

"Aunt, I know you still have concerns."

"If you agree, I can pay you two months' salary first, what do you think?"
