Chapter 70: Discussing What to Do

“Yes, Lulu said that her hometown has different cooking methods for food. We can try to sell it in Yuan City. Other families don’t have it, so it might be able to become a business.” Mother Rong was very hopeful.

The Guan family was too poor. The family had only eaten a few good meals after Guan family learned how to hunt. So they urgently needed to improve their lives.

​ 

“This…” Father Guan felt troubled. Similar to Mother Rong at the beginning, he was very worried that they would fail and their money would be emptied.

Eldest Brother Guan and the others, including the two sisters-in-law, were the same. This was indeed very risky for the villagers. Moreover, Yunwu Village was in the mountains, so it was much poorer than the nearby villages in Yuan City.

Would it really work?

“I’ll go hunting.” Guan Chibei spoke up at this moment. “I’ll hunt for bigger prey and exchange them for money first to be used as capital. Let’s see if we can succeed. If we can’t, our family won’t lose out in the end.”

The Guan family had thought about why Guan Chibei did not hunt big prey directly and exchange them for money. However, on second thought, it was almost winter and there would be less prey on the mountain. It was indeed not as stable as doing business in the long run.

“Let’s try.” Guan Chibei said, “I’ve been in the city for more than half a year and know some things.”

The Guan family had always discussed things together. Although Father Guan and Mother Rong held the power to speak, it was also something that everyone would decide after discussing.

The Guan family did not sleep on time that night. After gathering together to discuss for a while, the Guan family made a decision. They gritted their teeth and said, “Yes! Then let’s try doing this business.”

However, they had to ask Ye Lulu what she wanted to do.

Although the Guan family had agreed to do business, this thought was raised by Ye Lulu. The food they sold was also from Lulu’s side, so they did not know what to do.

Hence, the next day, Ye Lulu told Mother Rong the details.

The stalls on the docks in Yuan City were usually provided by other families themselves. Ye Lulu followed the example of the stalls on the modern streets and felt that she had to build a wooden cart first.

There would be two stoves on both sides. One of them was for a large pot to simmer plain porridge. The other side was for small pots used to quickly make fresh congee.

Ye Lulu thought back to the modern cart style. It was very convenient and thorough. The only difference was that iron in ancient times was very expensive. Without the capital, they would use the stove under the clay. It was a thick layer of mud and could be used to withstand heat.

Of course, the cart was made of wood, but it couldn’t be so particular such that there was a roof. It was an open-ended type, but it made it easier to conduct business. The side was used to place that large pot and cook plain porridge. The area where people would stand was a little more spacious, so it was easier to move around.

As for the stove used to cook congee, Ye Lulu suggested setting up a few small pots with a big stove under them. She could use firewood to boil a few pots. Since congee was prepared fast and fresh, it had to be kept boiling.

It was a little different from the orthodox methods in the modern world, but it depended on the specific circumstances. There were limitations in ancient times, so it had to be changed. When the time came, they would see how to adjust things.

After transmigrating here, everything had to be a village version.

Ye Lulu had considered this in her heart many times and felt that it should be feasible. When the time came, she would start cooking immediately. On one side, she would constantly cook plain porridge. On the other side, she would cook congee on the spot.

As for the spoons for porridge, they could carve wooden bowls and wooden spoons themselves.

Ye Lulu even discussed this with Mother Rong and felt that it was a waste to sell just congee. Since their whole family was mobilized, why not sell some other food as well?
