The next morning, Shen Xiaobei got up early and rode his family’s bicycle to a large farmers’ market in the center of the county town.
I walked around the farmers' market, asked about the prices of pig's feet and chicken, and left empty-handed.
Halfway through, she took out two pig's feet, some chicken legs, chicken feet, chicken wings and some marinade from the space, pretended that she bought them at the farmer's market, hung them on her bicycle, and rode back home.
After returning home, Xu Yongzhi cooked breakfast on one stove and started making braised dishes on the other stove.
While doing it, he pretended to casually explain to Xu Yongzhi the braising techniques and some precautions.
Xu Yongzhi was more interested in cooking, and she nodded repeatedly after listening to it, saying that she would try braising it next time.
After hearing this, Shen Xiaobei smiled secretly.
She decided to set up a stall at home to sell braised dishes during the Chinese New Year, of course not to make a little money during these few days. She had already saved up 5,000 yuan, so she didn't mind using the Chinese New Year to make a little money.
She just wanted to arouse Xu Yongzhi's interest and then let her set up a braised food stall at home in the future.
Shen Mingliang will be in the first grade of junior high school in the second half of the year. She and Shen Mingzhu have both moved to the countryside, so Xu Yongzhi should find something to do by then.
But in this small county town of her hometown, what kind of satisfying job can a woman like her, who has little education and no skills and has been a housewife for more than 20 years, find outside?
Shen Xiaobei discovered yesterday that she was a pretty good cook and was willing to cook. With two daughters of that age at home, she usually didn't ask them to help her cook.
So, she thought about finding a way out for her.
In the future, she will set up her own braised food stall, which will provide her with freedom, fulfillment, and she can control the costs herself. It is better than looking for odd jobs everywhere before.
After having breakfast at home, Shen Xiaobei pushed his bicycle to take the braised dishes to the nearby farmers' market to sell.
Shen Mingzhu went with her.
Before going out, they made a wooden signboard several dozen centimeters long and wide, with the words "selling braised dishes" written on it.
As a result, when they were walking to the farmers' market, a passerby saw the sign on their bicycles, immediately stopped them, and readily bought six braised chicken legs to take away.
Shen Mingzhu was very happy that the stall was open before she even got to the location. She didn't expect that braised dishes would sell so well.
“Shen Xiaobei, how about we shout all the way to the farmers’ market? Maybe we can open a few more before we get there!”
"Alright, you're a teachable kid. I didn't expect you to have some business acumen! Then go ahead and shout!"
"Hey, you want me to shout alone? If we're going to shout, of course we should shout together!"
"Okay, okay, let's shout together! Come on, start shouting! Selling braised dishes, delicious braised dishes! Freshly braised dishes!"
"Selling delicious braised dishes! Freshly braised dishes!"
Having a companion to shout with gave them courage, and both of them lost their shyness. They both shouted enthusiastically and found it quite fun.
When he shouted at the entrance of the farmers' market, he sold a few more.
The farmers' market near their home is not big and there is no braised dish sold there. Once their stall was set up, all the braised dishes were sold out in just over an hour. It can be described as a hot-selling product.
This scene simply shocked Shen Mingzhu.
On the way back, she asked in confusion: “Shen Xiaobei, since this braised dish sells so well, why didn’t anyone sell it here before?”
"You're stupid, because the cost is so high! How many people are willing to spend so much every day to buy a lot of pig feet and chicken legs to stew? If they can't sell them, they will be heartbroken!"
"Besides, do you think other people can easily make the same taste as the pig's feet and chicken legs I braised? I use a secret recipe, understand?"
"Tsk, a secret recipe? Where did you get that recipe? Tell me about it!"
"I once went to Shuanghe County and met a benefactor, and she told me."
"What benefactor?"
"This happened before you even went to the countryside. You wouldn't know even if I told you."
"Tsk, you can't tell, you're clearly fooling me!"
"If you think I'm kidding you, then I am! Anyway, as long as I can make money from the stewed dishes made with this secret recipe, that's all that matters. Why do you care so much about the rest?"
Shen Xiaobei made up a lie casually, and Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her in dissatisfaction, knowing that she was perfunctory.
But he didn't take her perfunctory attitude to heart.
Anyway, she knew that Shen Xiaobei was indeed capable, and it was not surprising that she would meet some capable people in Shuanghe County.
After returning home, the two handed over half of their earnings to Xu Yongzhi, and used the other half in the afternoon to purchase goods for tomorrow's purchase.
Xu Yongzhi took the money, counted it, and found that in just half the morning, her two daughters had earned seven dollars, which she found incredible.
When did it become so easy to make money?
Could it be that she has been a housewife at home for too long, has become out of touch with society, and no longer understands the current state of the world and market conditions?
Xu Yongzhi almost began to doubt her life.
She held the hands of Shen Xiaobei and Shen Mingzhu, and asked them questions excitedly for a long time before finally giving up and accepting the gratifying fact that she could indeed earn seven dollars in half a morning.
Because visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings was fully the responsibility of the two men, Shen Chongshan and Shen Mingliang, one big and one small.
So even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiaobei's braised food stall was still open.
