Since Gong Jian started hunting more than a year ago and sent the hunted prey to the grocery store in the town for sale, the family's life has been improving step by step. Later, more hares were caught, and more rabbits were caught.
Thanks to the careful care of my second brother, the number of hares in the family has grown from a few to dozens and now to hundreds.
Now Gong Jian basically doesn't have to go hunting in the mountains. He just needs to sell the rabbits grown in his backyard.
So even later the villagers knew that Gong Jian was hunting in the back mountain. Many people followed the trend and went to the back mountain like them. But often the prey they caught together were not as much as Gong Jian and others, and they raised more prey in the backyard.
.
However, what really made their family rich was when Gong Jian encountered a small incident in the town one day.
After Gong Jian sold all his prey in the town that day, he wandered aimlessly in the town. The family was basically on the right track now, but Gong Jian still had a faint sense of urgency. He always felt that if he didn't have any money left in his hand,
, unable to cope with any unexpected events. This makes him always feel uneasy.
Nowadays, there are more and more people going hunting in the back mountains. Gong Jian cannot guarantee that he will be able to catch prey every time he goes into the mountains. And in the real depths of the mountains, his family has repeatedly warned him not to go. So,
Instead, the family's income was diverted to backyard breeding.
Gong Jian felt that he should consider a new source of income. So after he sold the hares that day, he did not rush back to the village, but looked for ways to make money in the town.
Unknowingly, Gong Jian turned to the small pier in the town. He saw a merchant ship parked on the pier. Several cargo workers swarmed up and surrounded a man who looked like a steward, asking if they needed to move goods.
.
This scene reminded Gong Jian that a year ago, he woke up from his bed at home with severe pain all over his body. It is said that it was because he fainted from exhaustion while carrying goods on the dock. Unconsciously, his feet moved towards
Walk in that direction.
Before he could reach the merchant ship, Gong Jian saw two gorgeously dressed out-of-town businessmen walking towards him. As they walked past him, the two of them were still complaining. "In this small town,
I'm tired of eating at that restaurant."
"Isn't that right? Speaking of those of us who are running outside, let alone eating and sleeping in the open, we just catch a town and have a place to have a good sleep, but the food is always so
A few things.”
Hearing what these two people said, Gong Jian was stunned. These merchants who travel from north to south travel to many places, and they should know a lot of specialties. Why are these two people complaining about the single menu?
From that day on, he began to pay attention. Gong Jian inquired from many channels, and he realized that although there were many ingredients, the chef's cooking methods were very simple, and the seasonings were basically single.
Gong Jian didn't know why, but he had memories of some dishes in his mind. And the most important thing was that he found that the dishes in his mind were very simple to make, and the ingredients were common.
After he repeatedly confirmed that no one else knew about these dishes, he wrote them down. Through Tianji Grocery Store, he sold these recipes to the restaurants they ran.
At that time, Gong Jian and shopkeeper Tian already had a certain friendship. Because of his connection, the general manager of Tian Ji Restaurant came to the town to meet with Gong Jian.
During their meeting and discussion, Gong Jian asked Gong Yue to cook all those dishes in advance. He took those dishes with him to discuss with the manager.
Even though he said a thousand things, he didn't let the chief steward taste the dishes himself, which was more straightforward. So after the chief steward tasted all the dishes, he immediately made a decision. He spent five hundred taels and bought it.
All of Gong Jian's recipes.
Since he had the huge sum of five hundred taels of silver, Gong Jian first spent a lot of money to hire a famous doctor from the state to treat his father.
After the famous doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Gong Jian's father's condition finally improved. Although his leg was injured for too long and it was impossible to get out of bed and walk. But after the famous doctor's treatment, he could no longer
He didn't have to endure the almost crazy pain all the time. So his spirit was obviously much better than before.
After his physical and mental improvement, Gong Jian's father can now do some light work at home. The most important thing is that he is no longer as depressed as before.
Gong Jian gave his mother another one hundred taels of silver notes as daily expenses at home. His mother had never seen such a thing as a silver note, let alone one hundred taels. Country people don't say one year, it's ten years.
I can't even earn a hundred taels.
The main value of the one hundred taels that Gong Jian gave to her mother was not in its purchasing power, but in soothing her mother's heart that had been tense all these years.
Sure enough, from then on, Gong Jian's mother no longer scrimped on food and clothing because she was worried about her livelihood. She also gradually accepted the brainwashing that Gong Jian often gave them: money is not saved, but earned.
Gong Jian originally wanted to send his second brother to a private school, but their town was too small. The old man who had been reluctantly teaching in the private school had withdrawn the private school this year because of his age. Now.
There are no books for the children in the town to read.
Therefore, Gong Jian's desire to send his second brother to a private school could only be put on hold for the time being. He could only plan in his mind to move his family to the county after earning more money, so that he could achieve it in one step. That would not only
Their family's life is even more convenient, and his younger brother can go to a better private school.
As for his younger sister Gong Yue, Gong Jian feels that she is the one who owes the most in the family. But even if he has money now, he can't think of what to do except make more new clothes and buy more jewelry for his younger sister.
To compensate her, he can only treat his little sister better.
Gong Jian now gives some pocket money to his younger siblings every month, but both of them are very sensible and rarely spend money to buy anything for themselves. Gong Jian feels very distressed when he thinks of such considerate younger siblings. He needs
Earn more money so that your younger brothers and sisters no longer have to worry.
So when winter came and the heavy snow fell, Gong Jian, who had been thinking about ways to make money, suddenly thought of a memory somewhere, which contained a dish that is most suitable for eating in winter -
hot pot.
He carefully looked through his memories and found that hot pot did not appear in his original memory. (To be continued)
