In her previous life, on the day Jiang Xi drowned, her family didn't even have money to buy medicine for her mother.
Herĉ¸£ father looked at her with disgust, "Don't come again!...
Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Setting up a stall is not easy
Jiang Xi looked at the busy Wu Yaqin and felt satisfied. Wu Yaqin's mental state was different when she had something to do. It seemed that no matter who you are, you have to do something. If you are too idle, you will easily have random thoughts.
The mother and daughter worked until late at night. Wu Yaqin pickled another small jar of chicken. Jiang Xi tasted it and found it even more delicious than before.
Wu Yaqin was very happy and started to marinate the remaining chicken according to this method.
The two of them only slept for an hour or two before starting the same old work cycle again. However, no one felt tired; instead, they felt very excited.
Jiang Xi and Wu Yaqin were both looking forward to the feedback on the braised chicken, and even felt that the dawn was coming too slowly.
The weather was not very good that day. It was overcast in the morning and it looked like it was going to rain.
When Jiang Xi and Wu Youli pushed the car to the gate of the steel plant, a strong wind blew up, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground. Jiang Xi and Wu Youli could hardly open their eyes.
Jiang Xi quickly held on to the jar, Wu Youli also held on to the cart, and the stall owners also held on to their carts. The power of nature made humans infinitely small, and everyone was struggling to hold on to what was in front of them.
This is the disadvantage of setting up a stall. It is greatly affected by the weather. Once the weather is bad, there is no way to sell things. Jiang Xi used her body to protect the jar, while thinking that she had to make good money and open a shop in the future. She couldn't set up a stall all the time.
The strong wind finally stopped, but the temperature dropped a lot. There was still a damp smell in the air, and even ants came out of the soil.
Jiang Xi was worried about rain, so he worked extra hard when recommending things.
She didn't bring chicken feet today, but instead brought a jar of braised chicken, two jars of edamame and a jar of lotus root slices.
"Brother, try our chicken. This is our new product. It tastes really good. One bite at a time is really satisfying, and the price is not expensive."
The big brother is the particularly cheerful big brother from yesterday, his name is Zhou Jiangang. He bought some edamame yesterday and thought they were good. He was planning to buy some more edamame today, but when he came to the stall he found that there were new products today.
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, what you said yesterday made a lot of sense, so I went back and made a new product. Try our braised chicken, it will definitely meet your needs."
Zhou Jiangang didn't expect that the stall owner actually listened to his casual words, and made a new product so seriously and quickly, and became curious about the braised chicken.
Zhou Jiangang stopped and looked at the braised chicken in the bowl. The color of the braised chicken was close to the original color of the chicken. Compared with the sauce-flavored chicken and spicy chicken, it did not seem to be appetizing enough.
Zhou Jiangang was a little hesitant. He gave Jiang Xi some advice because he loved eating chicken and was quite particular about what he ate. Chicken with such a light color seemed a little hard to swallow.
Jiang Xi was not discouraged: "Brother, our chicken restores the most authentic taste of chicken. We don't add any messy things, but you can taste the full aroma of chicken and wine. You can try it. It's okay even if you don't buy it."
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Zhou Jiangang picked up a small piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. His eyes widened. This was the taste of chicken he had never tasted before.
Their family usually cooks chicken with a lot of radishes, or cooks chicken soup. He has never tasted chicken like this before.
The meat is very fresh and refreshing, and the chicken seems to melt in your mouth.
The key was that the taste was exactly what he liked. The chicken fell off the bone with a light bite, leaving his mouth full of meat. The taste was so refreshing that Zhou Jiangang was tempted and asked, "How much is this chicken?"
Jiang Xi said, "It's one dollar and fifty cents a portion, and it's a large portion."
Zhou Jiangang frowned: "This is too expensive." Chicken is at most a dish. According to his appetite, one serving of chicken is not enough. If he wants a few more servings, it will cost five or six yuan. Zhou Jiangang is still a little hesitant.
Jiang Xi continued to sell: "Brother Zhou, we all have clear prices, small profits but quick turnover. This portion is a big bowl. You can go back and buy two steamed buns or rice to go with it, and you can have a full meal."
Zhou Jiangang is a worker who earns about 40 yuan a month. Eating chicken occasionally is no big deal. The aroma of the chicken is still lingering in his mouth. It is because of him that this stall owner started selling chicken. From the beginning to now, the stall owner's attitude has always been very good. It would be unreasonable for him not to buy from him.
Zhou Jiangang no longer hesitated: "Then give me two."
Wu Youli packed up the chicken for his brother. The chicken was heavier than the uncle had imagined. Zhou Jiangang weighed the chicken and said with a smile, "Young lady, you are a sincere businessman. The food tastes good and your attitude is great. I will come again."
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. We rely on repeat customers. If you enjoy the food, please come back."
It took Jiang Xi more than ten minutes to complete the first order of braised chicken. He said a lot of good things just now, but Jiang Xi did not complain at all.
Wu Youli couldn't help but say, "Xixi, that guy just now was really difficult to deal with. You talked to him for so long, and he only bought two servings of chicken. If everyone was like him, it would probably take us a whole day to sell all the chicken."
Jiang Xi shook his head. "Only picky customers are good. Those who look around and say nothing don't really want to buy anything. Besides, I think that big brother should be able to introduce some people to buy things for us."
Wu Youli..."How do you know this? Where did you see it from?"
Jiang Xi was very confident: "Just wait and see, that Big Brother Zhou will definitely come again today."
Jiang Xi did not rest after that and kept recommending the braised dishes.
Edamame and lotus root sold very quickly. Since the braised chicken was a new variety, it had to be reintroduced every time. However, Jiang Xi did not get tired of repeating it over and over again, and sold most of the jars of chicken.
"I feel like it might rain heavily soon. There's only half a jar of chicken left. Should we still sell it?" Wu Youli looked up at the sky and said worriedly.
Jiang Xi also looked up at the sky. It was overcast, a sign of heavy rain. They still had half a jar of chicken left to sell, but if it rained heavily, it would be difficult for them to go back. Jiang Xi had no choice but to say, "Let's go back first."
Just as the two men were packing up their stall, Brother Zhou, who sold the braised chicken, hurried over, followed by five or six people.
"Hey, why are you closing the stall? Do you still have braised chicken?" Zhou Jiangang asked breathlessly.
Jiang Xi smiled and replied, "We still have some braised chicken. Would you like to buy some more?"
Zhou Jiangang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't run away in vain."
Then he said to the people behind him, "The braised chicken here is delicious, cheap, and large in quantity. It's cooked very cleanly. I just bought it from this place."
A tall and thin man standing behind him said after hearing this: "Everyone knows that Brother Zhou has a very picky palate. If he thinks it tastes good, then it must be good. Little girl, give me two servings."
The other two also said, "Give me two servings too."
The tall, thin man paid and said, "Little girl, your zaolu stall is really delicious. Did you open it recently? We are not from the steel plant. If Lao Zhou hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about your zaolu stall."
Another shorter man also said, "We often eat with Lao Zhou. Everything Lao Zhou recommends is to our taste. This time, Lao Zhou specifically recommended your zaolu to us, so we definitely have to try it."
Jiang Xi took the money and thanked him: "Thank you for your support. The food was good and I will come again next time."
The tall, thin man said, "No thanks, no thanks. As long as it tastes good, we'll come back next time to buy it. Not only will we come, but we'll also help you invite the brothers who usually eat with us to come."
The tall, thin man smiled and said, "We brothers are all single. All the money we earn before we get married is spent on food. We will go wherever there is good food. As long as yours is good, there is no need to ask us to come back next time."
The slightly shorter man glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't want to get married, but we do. But eating is a hobby, and everyone has a hobby. It doesn't mean that loving to eat means you can't get married. Don't curse me. You want to be single, but I don't."
The tall and thin man didn't care: "Okay, okay, you are the only one who has too many rules. Even eating can't stop your mouth. I hope you can get a wife tomorrow."
A few people joked and paid, and soon they bought almost all the braised chicken in the jar.
Zhou Jiangang waited until they finished buying and asked, "How much braised chicken do you have left?"
Jiang Xi took a look and said, "There are about three left."
Zhou Jiangang said, "Okay, pack them all for me. I just bought two and they're not enough. I'm treating everyone to dinner today, so I'll buy some braised chicken as a side dish."
Jiang Xi quickly packed up the remaining braised chicken and handed it to Zhou Jiangang: "Just give me three yuan for these."
Zhou Jiangang was surprised: "Isn't it three servings? It should be four dollars and a half, why are you charging me three?"
Jiang Xi smiled and replied, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for supporting our business. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to sell all the chicken today."
Zhou Jiangang nodded. This small stall owner is very good at doing business. Not bad.
Zhou Jiangang and his friends bought up all the braised chicken. Wu Youli was stunned. He didn't understand how Jiang Xi guessed that Zhou Jiangang would come back. Then he heard Jiang Xi say, "Uncle, let's go quickly. It feels like it's going to rain soon."
Wu Youli nodded quickly, and the two of them packed up their things quickly. However, they didn't expect that just as they had packed everything up, a strong wind blew and heavy rain came down in an instant.
There was no shelter from the rain in front of the steel plant, and Jiang Xi and Wu Youli were instantly soaked.
They could only push the cart quickly and look for a place to shelter from the rain.
The heavy rain came down with a crackling sound, hitting the jar. Jiang Xi and Wu Youli were completely naked and walked in the rain with difficulty.
Even though it was a small county town, the road was still dirt, and it became muddy when it rained. Jiang Xi accidentally stepped into a puddle, and felt a sharp pain in his foot. Jiang Xi realized that he might have sprained his ankle.
