Chapter 392 Reserves
Xu Wenyan didn't sleep well the whole night.
The quilt in the shelter was still a little too thin, but he was still warm as he squeezed in the middle.
The kang is heated only after winter, so autumn is an awkward season. It is not extremely cold, but just hot at noon.
Seeing that it was already dawn outside, Xu Wenyan woke them up.
Today we will try to get back before the sun sets.
Xu Wenyan opened a jar of the wine brewed here and let all the men here taste it. More sugar was added this year, so the wine was mellower than last year.
"If you drink my wine, you have to work."
"Brother Xu, what are you talking about? Just tell us to do whatever you want." said the man in the crowd.
I had a simple breakfast as I brought more people with me today.
Xu Wenyan had seen with his own eyes how many chestnuts there were before. There were dozens of chestnut trees, and also walnuts. Today, Xu Wenyan called all the men in the shelter.
The three children also joined in the fun.
"Everyone, take the wooden planks. The chestnut shells have many thorns, so be careful."
Most of the ripe chestnuts fall down after the tree cracks, but a small number of them ripen without cracking.
At this time, you have to find a way to open the thorn ball yourself.
The number of chestnuts in a chestnut ball depends entirely on luck.
Sometimes it looks like a big ball of thorns, but when you open it, there is nothing inside.
As for walnuts, just pick them up directly. After the frost, the green shell of the walnuts fades and they don’t take up much space.
No matter how many chestnuts are picked, Xu Wenyan has a way to eliminate them.
It takes a long time to sell the sugar-roasted chestnuts alone. Xu Wenyan can also make chestnut cakes. This snack is quite common, especially in larger provinces and states.
Xu Wenyan didn't want to make something so mediocre, so he could only focus on the sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Chestnuts sold outside must be fried with black sand, so that the chestnuts will be heated evenly and taste better.
The chestnuts here are of the right size, and Xu Wenyan estimated that it would be a bit difficult to pick up all these walnuts and chestnuts today.
Fortunately, Xu Wenyan also brought the ox cart, otherwise so many things would not have been transported back.
At noon, Xu Wenyan cooked some chestnuts and they tasted as good as ever.
It was almost time to rush back after lunch. Xu Wenyan asked Zhan Laowu to pick all the citrons from the citron trees over there in the next two days, slice them and dry them.
Xu Wenyan planned to keep some fresh and dry some.
This is also the time to start selling fruit tea.
Oranges and grapefruits are sold on the market, and Xu Wenyan also has dried mulberries and sour plums.
Combined with the rosewood of the citron and the color of Roselle, many new fruit tea products can be made.
Xu Wenyan only kept two bottles of wine, and Zhang Chengjin will come to take away the rest tomorrow.
"Xiao Man, come with me to the factory."
Su Cheng will also be coming tomorrow, so Xu Wenyan needs to check everything carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong.
The two men went down to the warehouse with torches, and Black Bear was leading the way.
"Xiao Xu."
Several women from the Hua family were sitting by the fire at that time. When they saw Xu Wenyan coming, they stood up and greeted him.
"Sisters, why are you eating so late?"
"It's not too late. Xiao Xu is here to take inventory of the warehouse."
Xu Wenyan nodded, and the six people counted together, which took half an hour to complete. The total was more than 3,000 kilograms, which was much more than Xu Wenyan had expected.
After chatting with a few people for a while, Xu Wenyan also planned to leave, as long as the quantity of potato flour was enough.
"Hey, why don't you see the idiot?"
The last time I saw the idiot was more than ten days ago. If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have noticed him.
"He, he has been mumbling for beans these days, but we don't have any beans for him. He is out looking for beans every day and comes back very late."
"beans?"
Although Xu Wenyan was also confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He had to go back and deal with the accounts now, so he would talk about it tomorrow.
As soon as he came back and sat down on the bed, Chen Sanlin kept staring at him.
Xu Wenyan asked him what was wrong but he didn't say anything. Xu Wenyan ignored him and took out Xiaoman's record book and started checking and calculating.
The restaurant has already been bought, but my family is poor now. I will receive the deposit from Zhang Chengjin and Su Cheng tomorrow, so if I think about it carefully, it seems that I am not short of money anymore.
Xu Wenyan wrote on a piece of paper the name, raw materials, price, etc. of the new fruit tea that needed to be developed tomorrow.
With what we picked today, business in the store will definitely pick up.
The less confident Xu Wenyan felt at this moment, he had to leave himself a way out.
He needed to buy some gold and then shape it into a shape that would be easy to carry.
Ten taels of silver are equal to one tael of gold. The only places to hide things on the body are in the hair, clothes or accessories.
The assassination of Wei Ren also sounded a wake-up call for Xu Wenyan.
Even a sixth-rank general was assassinated, let alone an ordinary person like him.
"Tsk, you've been staring at me for more than half an hour, aren't you satisfied yet?"
Chen Sanlin frowned, and said hesitantly: "Wife, let's run away."
"Where are you fleeing to?" Xu Wenyan asked calmly.
"Don't you want to see the sea? We can go to the South China Sea, the East China Sea, or anywhere else." Chen Sanlin held Xu Wenyan's hand: "I told you, I will accompany you to see any place."
"Where's Xiaodong? Where's Xiaohua? What about my second uncle's family? What will happen to them if I run away like this? If something really happens to the Wang family, I must also clarify my relationship with you.
I have to show them the yellow book of my household.
If I run away now, Xiaodong and the others will be punished for me."
"But..." Chen Sanlin was about to say something when he was interrupted by Xu Wenyan.
"I have a way to deal with it. Don't think too much about who I am. Just don't worry."
"I......"
"What are you talking about? Stop talking. That's it. If you keep talking, I'll bite you."
