Xuanxuan ran back and took out a handful of copper plates from under the rock he was sitting on and gave them to Xuan Muzhi. Xuan Muzhi took them and counted them, and there were eighteen copper plates.

Eighteen copper coins, plus the two he sold before, is twenty, about five catties of bean sprouts. Is this equivalent to four copper coins per catty?This is almost catching up with the price of barley.Even if the cost is removed, it can be regarded as a good income. After all, this is a vegetable produced from the cheapest beans and clean water. If it can be operated for a few more days and if there are many buyers, it can be considered a very good business.

"Brother?" Seeing Xuan Muzhi in a daze, Xuan Xuan tugged on his sleeve.

"Come on, let's go buy food!"

The barley rice was five copper coins a catty, and the white rice was ten copper coins a catty. Although Xuan Muzhi looked at the white rice with greed, but looked at the money in his hand, he decided to buy the barley rice.

One catty of barley rice, two catties of barley rice and two catties of brome flour, half of the money earned today will be lost.But this is not surprising, most of the poor people living in the North District are not much better than their brothers, and most of them can earn two or three days of food money a day.

Wrap the remaining bean sprouts in the basket with leaves and put them on top of the grain to prevent them from being crushed. Xuan Muzhi was thinking about what to do next as he walked.

There are still bean sprouts, and a new batch will be available tomorrow, but at most it will be enough to sell tomorrow.Because I don't know if they can be sold, I only sent out these two batches for the time being, and I will soak the remaining beans when I go back at noon.

There is no need to worry about food for the time being, five catties of food, enough for the two brothers to eat for several days.I still have ten copper coins in my hand. If I use them to buy soybeans and mung beans, I can buy tens of catties, but it is useless to buy so many. The key is to be able to exchange for money.

Bean sprouts and bean sprouts are one way for beans to make money, and tofu is another way to make money.

Now the key is to buy a set of tools for making tofu, and by the way find another key thing for making tofu-brine.

This thing shouldn't be hard to find.

Berman Island is surrounded by the sea. Other things on this island are expensive, but salt is not expensive. Even if the two brothers are so poor, there is more than half of the pot of salt in the small stone pot on the stove, and it is fine salt.

Where there is salt, there can be bittern, which is the crystallization of magnesium chloride that is precipitated after the mother liquor left in the salt pond after evaporating and cooling after processing sea salt and well salt.

The history of making tofu with brine has been on the earth for thousands of years. The tofu produced has a strong fragrance, strong hardness, elasticity and toughness.

In fact, Xuan Muzhi prefers gypsum tofu to marinated tofu, because marinated tofu tastes too strong, and it is not as tender as gypsum tofu. It's just that Xuan Muzhi doesn't know where to find gypsum, so it's more convenient to make marinated tofu.

There is a thin layer of skin on the top of the barley, which is not as good as white rice, nor as good as the previous broken barley, so it needs to be soaked in advance.

Although he was very hungry, Xuanxuan felt that he could wait when he saw the whole grain of rice.

After washing and soaking the barley rice, he also picked and soaked the beans. Xuan Muzhi decided to take advantage of this time to go out and visit his neighbors. The gift was the bag of bean sprouts they had left today.

When he got home, Xuan Muzhi discovered that not only could they produce a batch of bean sprouts tomorrow, but they would also sell some of them the day after tomorrow.

The beans soaked with the first batch of mung beans before, although not as fast as the mung beans, still sprouted one after another.Waiting for another two days will definitely grow to the length Xuan Muzhi requested. As for the four kinds of beans mixed together and sold together with different thicknesses and lengths, there is no big problem.

Xuan Muzhi came to visit with a bag of bean sprouts, while Xuan Xuan stayed at home.

Although they are neighbors, they are not close to each other. They are located on the edge of the village, hundreds of meters away from each other.

The life of this neighbor is obviously much better than that of their brothers. Although the surrounding walls are also fences, they are firmly built, and there are some vegetables growing in the yard, which cannot be recognized.The key is that there are still a few chickens at home, wandering around in the yard, they are not small in size, and they look like meat.

He has been here for several days, not to mention chicken and eggs, even if he is full, he has never eaten a meal, and now he almost drooled when he saw a live chicken.He finally understood the mood of the boss who ate up the chickens in the movie "Party A and Party B".

There was no one in the yard, Xuan Muzhi slapped the fence gate twice, "Is anyone home?"

No one answered.

Xuan Muzhi also didn't want to look at other people's homes so carefully. He came from the modern age that values ​​privacy, but this kind of small courtyard is still very attractive to him.A small vegetable garden, two chickens, bamboo strips all over the yard, and various bamboo dustpans, baskets, etc.There are not only bamboo products in the yard, but also various wooden products. Obviously this is the home of an old craftsman.

What made Xuan Muzhi's eyes shine was that there was a lot of waste scattered in the yard, all of which were cut wood chips and the like.And Xuan Muzhi just needed these things to make rice rice paddies.

Just as he was thinking about it, a person came out of the house and saw a half-grown man standing outside his door in a daze. He didn't know what he was doing and quickly asked, "Then little brother, who are you looking for?"

"Old man, I'm a neighbor who lives nearby, come and visit."

When Xuan Muzhi said this, he said it with confidence, the old man froze for a moment, shook his head and smiled.There are only two brothers next door to him, the older one has only seen him from a distance, but the younger one has spoken to him a few words.

Speaking of visiting, how can anyone come to visit neighbors after moving in for two years?

But the old man did not reveal that it is not easy to live these days, let alone two helpless children.

"Come in and talk." The old man opened the door.

Xuan Muzhi looked at the other party with a smile, and first sent the things in his hand.

"This……"

"This is a vegetable we grow, please try it."

"Oh, thank you very much." The old man took it with a smile.Although he grows some vegetables in his yard, they are all ordinary vegetables. Vegetables and fruits in this place are not cheap, so it is a good intention to use this as a meeting gift. "What's the matter, brother?"

"To tell you the truth, something really happened." Xuan Muzhi came here for a purpose, and now that people asked him, he was not hypocritical and told his plan.

"...It doesn't sound too complicated, it's fine, I'll help you do it. But what's the purpose of making this rice huller you're talking about?"

"It's used to peel barley." Xuan Muzhi didn't hide it. The technique of rice hulling is not too complicated, but there are still many procedures.This kind of tool is not made for making money, but for convenience. After all, the heavy stone grinds his body so small that he really can't push it.

He is not afraid that someone will learn it. There are many more advanced things in his mind than this world. Throughout history, sometimes holding technology in his own hands will only make the technology lag behind or even be lost, and spread the technology. If you go out, what you get may be the development of an era.

In this convenience, Xuan Muzhi is happy to spread some small technologies, and then find one or several suitable technologies to make a fortune.

After talking with the old man in detail, Xuan Muzhi discovered that the other party was really a skilled craftsman, and the bamboo stool he was sitting on was made by the other party, and it sat firmly and firmly without any sound.

"Old man, do you think how much I will pay you? I may have to borrow your tools." Xuan Muzhi said helplessly. He had a few tools for mowing grass and rice at home, and nothing else.

"free of charge."

"free of charge?"

On the way back, Xuan Muzhi was still dizzy. The bean sprouts he brought before were given away, but he didn't have empty hands when he returned.Not only did it cost nothing to invite this old craftsman this time, he also got a small bamboo stool from the other party.

As for the wood chips in the old man's yard, he had the audacity to ask for them all, and carried them back in the basket.

He talked with the old man for a while, and when he got home, he found that the barley porridge was cooked.Today's porridge is very thick, full of whole rice grains.However, barley porridge is difficult to make thick. This problem is easy to solve. Put some barley rice together to cook. When the barley rice is cooked through, the barley rice will be soft and thick, and the color will look better.

The two brothers didn't talk nonsense. Each person had a big bowl of hot and thick rice porridge, and a plate of salted wild vegetables was served as a side dish on the table.

In fact, I have been hungry for a long time, and I feel very happy just to be able to eat rice porridge. The thick rice porridge is full of rice fragrance, tastes good, and has a good texture.

"Brother, I didn't expect that rice and barley rice would taste delicious together." Xuan Xuan ate a large bowl contentedly and put down his chopsticks.

"In the future, we will not only eat enough, but also eat well. Brother will let you eat fish and meat."

"Great, brother, you are really amazing."

It was already late October, and it was getting colder every day. It was a test and an opportunity for their brothers.

The test is the cold weather, they must have enough food for the winter.And they also need some thick clothes, as well as bedding.These are all money, looking at the thick straw on the kang, Xuan Muzhi knows that something is imminent.

Although he made money today, Xuan Muzhi didn't relax at all, and fell asleep full of melancholy.
