Especially the two clan chiefs Zhao and Zhou, they were not unfamiliar with these seafoods.
A few years ago, Yun City suffered from drought, which led to much reduced crop yields.
At that time, even if one had money, it was very difficult to buy grain.
Therefore, in desperation, many people could only go to buy those seafoods that people usually didn't like to eat from fishermen to fill their stomachs.
When the seafood was bought back, people were already hungry. Such food was difficult to eat in large bites. It was simply torturous.
What's more, they didn't have the skills like Old Jiu's wife. The seafood they made was sometimes fishy and smelly. It was almost impossible to swallow, and several people even got vomiting and diarrhea from eating seafood...
But it’s different now. These seafoods that they looked down upon, when they got to others’ hands, they could actually be made into such delicious food.
Also those animal internal organs used for hot pot, how could they be so delicious?
They really lived up to being people from the capital city. They were absolutely unambiguous about food and drink, which was not comparable to them country bumpkins.
Chief Zhao ate with a flushed face, and had even forgotten the restraint he should have as a guest.
"Old Jiu, if you take these foods to the city to sell, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Speakers have no intention, listeners have their own intentions.
Chief Zhao didn't lower his voice, so the women could hear it very clearly.
After the second sister-in-law heard that she could make big money, she immediately became interested.
"Ninth younger sister, what do you think if we go to sell such food in the city?"
He Zhiran didn’t object to this, but currently the ingredients and seasonings for making hot pot could not be exposed in large quantities.
Moreover, she heard that there weren't many rich people in Yun City. Just talking about these ingredients and seasonings for hot pot, the cost was very high. If the selling price was too low, they certainly couldn't make much money. If the price was too high, I'm afraid not many people could afford it.
So He Zhiran was not in a hurry to run this catering business.
They had just settled at the foot of Xi Ling Village. The first thing they should do was to settle their family first.
Although she didn’t know much about business, after all she had seen many things in her previous life that didn't exist in this era. With the help of space, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find some money-making ways.
Moreover, Tang Mingrui had also come to live in Yun City. After stabilizing, she would come up with a small business to cooperate with him, and develop step by step in this way, so as not to attract too much attention from others.
After all, their identities were special. Even if they had arrived in the place of exile, it was hard to guarantee that no one would pay attention to them in the imperial court.
Not to mention, there was Meng Huaining on the surface. He was entrusted by Fei Nanyu to take office here to take care of their family.
She didn't believe that Meng Huaining wouldn't tell Fei Nanyu about their situation.
Right now, it seemed that Fei Nanyu posed no threat to them, but who could completely guess the mind of people in higher positions?
Therefore, He Zhiran planned to observe carefully before making plans.
Of course, with such a large family right now, it was inappropriate to do nothing. After everyone was settled, she would come up with a win-win idea.
"Sister-in-law, I know you are in a hurry to make money for our family, but before that, you have to look at the ingredients we used today."
He Zhiran knew that the second sister-in-law was straightforward, so she didn't need to beat around the bush when talking to her.
Old Lady Mo, who seldom expressed opinions in front of daughter-in-laws, spoke up.
"Xie, what your ninth younger sister prepared today, let alone other things, just the spicy seasoning that makes our mouth tingle, we can’t even get it. Without raw materials, how can we talk about making money?"
After hearing Old Lady Mo's words, He Zhiran had to give the old lady a compliment.
Among all the Mo family's women, Old Lady Mo was the most sensible one. At a glance, she could spot the key issue that made this business impossible to do.
"Mother is right. The peppers I bought from the foreigners are limited for our own family's consumption. If used for business, I'm afraid the stock would run out in just a few days.”
The second sister-in-law was obviously very disappointed: "It's such a pity that such a good money-making business can't be done!"
"Don't worry, I bought a lot of seeds from foreigners, including chili peppers. Next spring, we plant them on several acres of land. By then, we will have enough chili peppers to use."
As soon as the second sister-in-law heard this, she immediately became all smiles.
"Is it true, ninth younger sister? When the time comes, I will definitely not be lazy and grow a lot of chili peppers."
When it came to planting, Mo Hanyue was also interested: "Sister-in-law, when I was reading the pharmacology books you gave me, I discovered that some medicinal materials are not only easy to cultivate, but also very valuable. I want to go to the city after a while to buy some medicinal seeds to plant medicinal materials next spring. It must be able to increase income for our family. "
The other sisters-in-law saw that the young auntie had thought of ways to make money for the family, and they were obviously anxious.
But when they were in the capital city, they were all spoiled. Apart from being able to make some embroideries, they had no other skills.
The eldest sister-in-law tentatively asked, "Younger sister-in-law, we sisters-in-law don't have as much knowledge as you. In the future, whatever money-making business you come up with, just give us a heads up and the eldest sister-in-law will definitely help out."
The other sisters-in-law also stated that they meant the same thing as the big sister-in-law.
In short, from now on they would all listen to the ninth younger sister-in-law. If the ninth sister-in-law points to the east, they would definitely not go west.
He Zhiran really liked such an atmosphere. For any matter, everyone in the family should work together towards the same goal.
"Okay, when I come up with good ways to make money, I will definitely inform my sisters-in-law first."
The women chatted without hiding anything from anyone else. Of course the men could hear what they said.
Although the fifth brother had lost his memory, after getting along for these two days, he had completely accepted this group of loving family members.
Hearing that the female family members wanted to make money for the family, he, as the man in the family, had to pitch in willingly.
"Making money is men's business. You just do housework."
Eighth brother also echoed: "Yeah, with so many grown-up men, even if we go hunting in the mountains every day, we can earn enough for the family's food and clothing. You just need to take care of mother at home."
With both elder brothers making themselves clear, Mo Jiuye should have also expressed his stance.
However, he did not do so.
He knew his wife's capabilities. When He Zhiran wanted to make money, their lifelong hunting probably couldn't catch up with her.
Liang Hao even patted his chest and guaranteed: "From now on, we brothers will take turns hunting in the mountains to ensure that the family can have rice and meat every day."
In the eyes of these older people, as long as an ordinary family could eat their fill and dress warmly, it was already a comfortable life.
Especially for Liang Hao and the others, they had been wandering orphans since childhood and had no high demands for quality of life.
It had to be said that the two chiefs Zhao and Zhou were so envious of them.
Just look at them, so confident in what they said. Based on the many prey they brought back from the mountain today, their words were by no means an exaggeration.
