Chapter 430 Ancient Business Manual 5

In addition, Chu Yuan also saw huge business opportunities in these bamboo fungi. According to the original owner's memory, the people in Zhujie Village had never studied the cooking methods of these mushrooms. At most, they would stir them in the pot for a few times and add a dish to the dinner table when they were cooked.

But Chu Yuan knew that bamboo fungus was delicious and was perfect for making soup, especially chicken soup.

Chicken mushrooms are delicious when used in soups, stir-frying, or made into fried chicken mushrooms to eat with rice.

For the tea tree mushroom, stir-fry it with some oil and add some chili peppers to make a dry pot tea tree mushroom. It is also a good idea to stew it with pork belly.

There are also enoki mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms growing nearby, which are all very common types of mushrooms in later generations. Coincidentally, Chu Yuan is very familiar with the cooking methods of these mushrooms. If he opens a restaurant specializing in mushrooms, he will definitely make a lot of money.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have enough start-up capital now, so she can only start with low-cost drinks such as bamboo tube milk tea.

After picking a basket of bamboo fungus, Chu Yuan swung an axe to chop two bamboos, then cut them into several sections, tied them up with ropes and carried them down the mountain.

As for these plants that were everywhere in the mountains, the people in the village didn't care whether a few were missing, so Chu Yuan just walked back home with the bamboo in his hand.

"Big girl, why did you cut these bamboos? You can't eat or drink them." The person asking the question was Chu Yuan's father.

The mountain roads have been slippery recently, and it might be dangerous to go up the mountain to hunt, so he simply stayed at home to repair his hunting tools.

"Dad, I've thought of a good way to do business, and I'm going to use these bamboos. I'll tell you and mom in detail when I'm done."

Father Chu smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect to do business, but he would not stop his daughter's idea. After all, it was just a few bamboos.

However, Chu's mother was a little hesitant when she heard this. Logically speaking, at her eldest daughter's age, she should stay at home and wait to get married. Why did she suddenly think of doing business?

"Her father..."

Father Chu raised his hand to stop her from saying the following words: "Since the girl is willing to do so, let her try. After all, there are still two years left."

Since the head of the family had already spoken, Chu's mother stopped hesitating and continued with the work at hand.

Chu Yuan had already arrived at the backyard. Since his father would do some simple carpentry work besides hunting, the house was full of tools.

She used saw blades to cut the bamboo into the shape of a bamboo cup, and then carefully smoothed out the sharp thorns.

If it was just an ordinary cup, the process would be complete at this step. However, Chu Yuan was planning to write on it, so subsequent treatment was required to make the surface waterproof.

So she was busy for most of the day, boiling all 20 cups for the experiment in insect-repellent herbal water at high temperature, and then drying them in the sun.

The exposure process takes about three days, so during this period she began to study the recipe for making milk tea.

In the ancient times, good tea has always been something that only nobles can afford. According to the original owner's memory, there was coarse tea for sale in a town not far from Zhujie Village, the kind used in tea stalls, which seemed to be fifteen cents per ounce.

The key to making milk tea is the tea aroma. In fact, you don't need a lot of tea leaves. One or two ounces of tea leaves can make dozens of cups of milk tea.

As for the milk for making tea, she remembered that a family in the village had a cow that had recently given birth to a calf. Buying a bucket from them should be enough to supply the initial supply of milk for sale.

As for the future, I'll just take it one step at a time. Once I make money from selling milk tea, I can buy a dairy cow and raise it at home.

At this point, the two most important raw materials for making milk tea are already available.

As for the additional ingredients, Chu Yuan plans to sell pearls and red beans first.

The two raw materials used to make pearls, cassava and red beans, are both grown in the village and are not rare.

After completing the preliminary preparations, Chu Yuan found the purse hidden by the original owner in the corner of the room. The Chu family was considered to be wealthy in raising their daughter. There were a total of sixty cents in the purse, which was the private savings of the original owner over the years.

She plans to go to town tomorrow, so she can use the money as her start-up capital to buy all the necessary materials and make some finished products for her family to taste.

Chu Yuan knew very well that she could not make the milk tea business successful by herself, so she had to get the support of her family.

"Mom, I want to go to town tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Mother Chu stopped sewing and looked in the direction of Father Chu.

"Go ahead, take some more money, and take the girl with you to buy some new cloth to make some clothes, so that you can show them off when you go to visit her."

After getting the approval from Chu's father, Chu's mother nodded slightly: "Yes, then I will take the girl to the town tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan looked down at the patched clothes on his body and felt a little ashamed. Although the Chu family was better off than other people in the village, there was no reason to replace clothes when they were torn, so there was not a single piece of clothing in the original owner's wardrobe that was intact.

Since Chu's father said he would make a new one, Chu Yuan did not refuse.

In the future, she will earn a lot of money with her family so that everyone will have endless new clothes to wear. There is no need to argue about these few dozen coins now.

So the next morning, Chu Yuan got up early and helped his mother prepare breakfast for the family. Then he agreed to bring his brother and sister-in-law some delicious food when they came back, and set off for the town.

The nearest town to Zhujie Village was Baisha Town, ten miles away. The two men walked for more than half an hour with their backpacks on their backs before they reached the outside of the city gate.

Fortunately, it is spring now and the cold has gone away. If it were winter, walking on this road would almost cost her her life, let alone doing any business.

Chu Yuan had three main purposes for coming to the town this time. The first was to buy tea, the second was to buy brown sugar, and the third was to find a stall suitable for selling milk tea.

When her business was just starting out, she couldn't come up with the funds to rent a shop, so she could only start by setting up a stall.

"Mom, I haven't been to town for a long time. I want to go around."

Mother Chu hesitated a little: "Your father asked me to buy you some cloth to make clothes. Let's go to the cloth shop first."

"That's fine, let's go first." Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that the teahouse seemed to be on the same street as the cloth shop, so he could just go and buy some tea on the way.

After arriving at the cloth shop, Chu Yuan picked out a darker blue cloth so that it would be less likely to get his clothes dirty while working.

"Mom, let's take this one. You can choose the rest. I'll go take a look in the front and be back soon."
