Chapter 19 Old Lady Liu Sells Pancakes

Speaking of this old lady Liu, she really cares about potatoes.

The questions were truly multifaceted, and Yang Mingyue had to ask the experienced farmers in the village for answers to some of them.

So why is Grandma Liu so concerned about potatoes?

Besides the high potato yield, she also cooked a potato feast at home according to the recipe given by Lin Liuyi.

"Mom, these sweet potatoes are so delicious! We should plant more next year!" Liu Dajiang picked up a mouthful of hot and sour shredded potatoes.

"Yes, Mom! This sweet potato rice is delicious too!" Liu Erhe said, shoveling rice into his mouth.

Looking around, the rest of the family members were also wolfing down their food, nodding in agreement.

"You don't need to tell me! Next year we're definitely going to plant more crops. When the eldest and second eldest sons are off-season, we'll have to clear some more wasteland!" Old Mrs. Liu said proudly, holding a potato pancake in her hand, and didn't forget to continue assigning tasks to everyone.

It still has to be me!

"Mother, what do you think about taking these sweet potatoes to a restaurant in town?" Liu Yuanxi had other ideas in mind.

“Young man, I’ve thought about what you said. There have been rumors that people have died from eating sweet potatoes. If we take them to town right away, the restaurant owners might not accept them. Here’s what I’m thinking: we can set up a small stall in town first and make sweet potato cakes. Once the people in town get used to them, we can sell them to the restaurants.”

Such a good opportunity to make money could not be missed. Old Mrs. Liu also knew that rushing into business was not a good idea. Besides, her family did not have many potatoes this year, and it would be too unprofitable to sell them directly to restaurants.

Liu Yuanxi thought about it for a moment and realized that her mother was right. "Then I'll listen to you, Mother!"

After deciding to start a small business, Grandma Liu immediately arranged for her eldest daughter-in-law to go to town with her to sell sweet potato cakes. The family members needed to clear more land, and of course, the youngest son's schooling should continue.

Of course, Grandma Liu had already shown off this in the group chat, and everyone congratulated her on taking a new step.

"But I remember potato pancakes are supposed to have eggs and flour in them, right? The costs for you to set up a stall must be huge. Do you even make any money?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously.

When Lin Liuyi asked this question, Grandma Liu immediately told everyone her money-saving tips with great pride.

Wheat flour is unaffordable, but eggs are still an option. Which farming family doesn't raise a few chickens? Besides, Lin Liuyi and the others even told her how to feed the chickens earthworms. The children in the family have been quite busy lately.

As for the oil, it's even simpler. She couldn't bear to use as much oil as the recipe called for; she just took a small piece of cloth and wiped the pot with it.

Therefore, in conclusion, they can still make money, earning tens of extra coins a day, which makes life much more promising!

After Grandma Liu said that, the others felt a little awkward.

Let's start with Princess Mingyue. With her large family and abundant wealth, she has no shortage of star coins. It's hard to imagine her earning only a few dozen star coins a day. Liu Mingyue is, after all, a daughter of a marquis and a wealthy family. She can understand the life of poor people like Old Lady Liu. Although Wu Mingyue is in the zombie world, she was never short of food and clothing before. Even Yang Mingyue, during the difficult educated youth era, had a more abundant material life than Old Lady Liu.

Although everyone felt a little embarrassed, it didn't stop them from admiring Grandma Liu.

"Aunt Liu, you're really amazing! You came up with such a cost-effective idea!" Princess Mingyue was the first to break the deadlock.

The others quickly echoed, and this time everyone was speaking their true feelings.

Once the atmosphere became lively, everyone started offering various suggestions to help Grandma Liu attract customers.

"Aunt Liu, you can do promotions, or sell them together with other items!"

"That's right, that's right! Auntie, you can sell mountain products too!"

Lin Liuyi listened to the other people's suggestions and felt that they were not very feasible.

Grandma Liu's hometown is just a small county town. Her profit margins were already thin, and if she did promotions, she would probably earn even less money. Besides, the population of the county town is only so big, so the number of customers she can attract is also limited.

Ultimately, it's because their potato pancakes are too thin; wealthy people wouldn't eat such things.

As for selling mountain products, I guess the people in Liu's area have been selling them for a while now, but mountain products aren't available every day, so they can probably only make some money occasionally.

Grandma Liu knew, of course, that the suggestions people were making were unreliable, but she also understood that they genuinely cared about her, even though they came from different worlds. So, Grandma Liu didn't argue, but instead kept thanking everyone.

Look at her, what a kind and understanding old lady she is!

Actually, if you were to ask what was the most profitable thing to sell in ancient times, it would definitely be food recipes.

However, since Grandma Liu's family didn't have any status, selling their tofu rashly would attract the covetous eyes of others. After thinking about it, Lin Liu finally searched for the tofu-making method on Baidu and sent it to Grandma Liu.

"Auntie, you must have some soybeans at home! I'll give you a recipe for making food with soybeans. You can sell the tofu you make, but it will be a bit of a hassle for you!"

"June 1st, is this for real? Soybeans can actually be made into this kind of food!" Grandma Liu was overjoyed after looking at the recipe!

Soybeans are a staple food in their area, but eating too many soybeans can cause flatulence, which is a bit embarrassing, so people try to avoid eating them if possible.

Now, the recipe Lin Liuyi gave could actually turn soybeans into something else, and it looked so delicious that Old Lady Liu was overjoyed.

"Of course, soybeans can be made into tofu, and they can also be sprouted!" Lin Liuyi simply packed up all the soybean products and sent them to Grandma Liu.

This thrilled Old Lady Liu. In ancient times, recipes were things that were not to be passed on to outsiders, and Lin Liuyi had given her so much of it all at once.

"Thank you so much, Liu Yi! I wish you could come to our area, I would definitely cook you something delicious!"

Grandma Liu couldn't think of a way to thank Lin Liuyi. She thought she might as well give him the rest of the round fans as a reward later, since he should have liked the previous rewards.

Princess Mingyue became interested upon seeing this, as they were also lacking in gourmet recipes in their intergalactic world!

There's no shortage of food in the interstellar world, but most of it is turned into nutrient solution. It's simple, but the taste is really hard to describe!

Although Princess Mingyue and her royal family still ate normally, the interstellar migration data was lost, and the recipes for the dishes were also lost, so everyone assumed that the food would just taste so-so.

Now that Lin Liuyi has given her the prescription, Princess Mingyue also plans to give it a try.

Of course, she didn't take it for free; she planned to calculate the amount and give Lin Liuyi a reward later.

Upon seeing the tofu recipe, Liu Mingyue also became interested.

She was bored at home recovering from her injuries. Old Mrs. Liu's world didn't have tofu, and neither did theirs.

Although the Marquis's mansion is not short of money, if this can be promoted and the common people can have a livelihood, it can be considered as doing good deeds.

With that thought in mind, Liu Mingyue quickly went to study the prescription, and she also planned to give Lin Liuyi a reward later.

Another person interested in tofu is Yang Mingyue. Although tofu already exists in their world, she's currently in the countryside.

In the village, they have to walk a long way to town to buy tofu, and the tofu is often broken from the bumpy ride back. If they could make it themselves in the village, they wouldn't have to go all the way to town to buy it.

Another reason she wanted to use this prescription was to see if she could exchange places with the people in the village, as she really didn't want to stay in the educated youth settlement any longer.

This educated youth, Li, kept bothering her like a leech, no matter how much she refused. If it weren't for the fact that hitting people is wrong, she would have punched him.

And then there's Gao Xiaoling, I don't know if she's lost her mind, she keeps treating me like a love rival. Yang Mingyue really wants to shout: If you like Li Zhiqing, then hurry up and get rid of him! I wish those two would get together soon!

The only one who wasn't interested was Wu Mingyue. It wasn't that she wasn't interested, but she was busy fighting zombies right now and had no time to make tofu.

Just thinking about the soft and tender texture of tofu, as well as spicy dried tofu, bean curd sheets, and even large spicy slices, made Wu Mingyue's mouth water.

She finished off the zombie in front of her without even blinking. "Can Can, let's go to the supermarket later and find some spicy snacks!"

Upon hearing about spicy strips, Yu Cancan's mouth watered, and she nodded frantically.

These damn zombies, even eating spicy snacks is a luxury.

After receiving the tofu recipe, Grandma Liu couldn't wait to call her family to soak soybeans.
