Chapter 375 I've Learned a lot
As soon as Su Tai finished speaking, the villagers couldn't wait to speak up, "Just say it directly. If you can afford it, we'll try it. If you can't afford it, forget it."
Su Tai rolled her eyes, stood up and said, "Don't worry! I only brought this much back this time, let me show you how good it is first, you can talk about the price after you taste it. We are from the same village, so I need to think about the price again. I can't make money from anyone else but everyone, right?"
Her words made the anxious villagers too embarrassed to ask any more questions.
In the cold winter, everyone was free, so they just sat in Su Chunlin's house, eating melon seeds and chatting. Some curious villagers also ran to watch Su Tai prepare seafood.
Su Tai took out the soy sauce, onion, ginger and other seasonings she had brought with her.
A mackerel weighing 20 to 30 kilograms can actually jump around a few times after thawing, scaring the crowd of villagers who were watching so much that they ran around in panic.
It is very difficult to kill such a big fish, but fortunately Su Ming provides her with labor.
Chop the mackerel into pieces that can fit into several plates. After steaming it, pour out the fishy soup in the plate, drizzle with soy sauce, sprinkle with some chopped green onions, and add a spoonful of hot oil to enhance the aroma.
The smell made the spectators drool.
Su Tai took the opportunity to say, "Look, one mackerel can be used to make more than a dozen dishes. Although this thing is expensive, it is still very cost-effective if everyone wants to buy it together."
Everyone nodded frequently.
More than a dozen plates of steamed mackerel were gone in less than a quarter of an hour.
Now everyone couldn't sit still anymore.
Su Tai started to process the yellow croaker again.
But Han was very distressed, but fortunately she caught one and braised it in soy sauce.
Everyone was already attracted by the color of the yellow croaker, and after tasting it, they couldn't stop.
Su Changfu immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Xiaotai, uncle wants one of this big yellow croaker."
Su Tai said quickly: "Chen Yi cooperates with the young master of the Ma family to sell fish. The price they sell to the public is fifty taels for a mackerel, eighty taels for more than thirty catties, ten taels for a yellow croaker, five taels for a pomfret, five taels for a redwood fish, two hundred wen for a large prawn, one hundred and twenty wen for a medium-sized one, and five hundred wen for a small one catty.
This is sold to outsiders. You are all my family, so I will give you a discount. One swordfish is 48 liang. The big ones are used a lot by everyone, so I won't say more. One yellow croaker is 8 liang, and pomfret and redwood fish are both 4 liang. A big prawn is 170 wen, a medium-sized one is 100 wen, and a small one is 450 wen per catty.
Don’t be fooled by the high price. Look at these shrimps. One is enough for two children to share.”
The price is indeed expensive, but everyone has tasted the steamed mackerel, and seafood is usually only affordable by the powerful and wealthy. Now that they can eat it, those who have some financial resources at home want to grit their teeth and save face.
Many people got together to discuss it, and finally they decided to form a team to buy mackerel and then distribute it themselves when they got back.
For people like Su Changfu and Su Changxi who have wealthy families, he also bought a few large yellow croakers, redwood fish and pomfret, and also bought a lot of prawns.
Everyone doesn’t have seasonings like onions, ginger, and soy sauce, and they want to buy some.
Su Tai agreed to all of them.
Ask Shen Yuezhang to bring paper and pen to record.
When Han saw this, she immediately asked Su Chunlin to go to Ximen Village to promote the business.
There are actually people in Ximen Village who are not afraid of the hassle and come over to watch the fun in such a cold weather.
There is no more mackerel to taste, but you can still steam a few more plates of pomfret, redfish and yellow croaker.
The villagers who tasted these fish were all enlightened, and after hearing everyone talk about how delicious steamed mackerel was, many of them became interested in trying it.
After working until dark, Shen Yuezhang finally came up with the number he had counted.
The family sat in the main room and chatted.
Su Tai pondered and said, "There are many people who want Spanish mackerel this time. A total of 15 have been ordered! 32 large yellow croakers were sold, 56 pomfret, and the most common redfish was 61. The shrimps were not bad either. More than 100 kilograms were ordered. This trip was really worth it."
Seeing her happy face, Han couldn't help rolling her eyes, "You are really generous! Mackerel is so expensive, but you kill it without hesitation, and you get one more! We set up another table today, and it cost almost a hundred taels! It makes me sad just thinking about it! Ouch! I can't think about it anymore"
The more Han spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Shen Yuezhang hurried forward to comfort her, "Grandma, my mother said that this is how business works. The more generous she is, the more embarrassed people are to take advantage of her. You saw it today. Originally, everyone was reluctant to buy, but after tasting it, they all bought one. Even though my mother lost a lot, she also earned a lot."
"She is really my darling daughter, so smart!" Su Tai gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
Han laughed angrily, "That's true, but I still feel bad! Forget it, my children are here to collect debts! I don't care, A-Zhan will be back in two days, you should quickly pack all the seafood for them, sell as much as you can, don't really lose money."
Su Tai looked at the ground guiltily.
Early the next morning, she and Su Ming went home together to transport seafood.
Su Tai went to the Wood Spacetime and bought several baskets of onions, ginger and garlic, and then went to the Fire Spacetime Food Street to find the owner of a seafood stall and bought a large bucket of soy sauce.
Their soy sauce is made from their own secret recipe and tastes great when cooked with seafood.
She also planned to buy these things, but to give them as gifts. As long as someone bought seafood from her, she would give them a portion of seasoning.
The items are ready and loaded onto a truck and sent to Dongmen Village.
She was busy until after noon before she sold all the seafood. Fortunately, she brought a lot more this time, and there were other people who wanted to buy during that time, so the supply was sufficient. There were not many left, so she left them all at her mother's house for Han to use when visiting relatives.
Han said she didn't want anything.
Su Tai pretended to be angry, "What? Just because I'm married, I can't be filial to my parents? It's just a little seafood, and you're still fighting with me!"
Han was so stunned that she couldn't speak, her eyes widened.
After Su Tai and her four grandchildren got on the carriage, she came to her senses and caught up with them, "I feel sorry for you because it's not easy for you to make money. You are such a fool who can't tell good from bad!"
The carriage went faster.
Han no longer had the desire to pursue.
Ruan Xiaoyu moved the seafood into the house and said with a smile, "Mom, my elder sister wants you all to eat some good food. If you feel sorry for the food, you can keep some and sell the rest, and give her the money."
I have to say that Ruan Xiaoyu really understood Han and she spoke to the heart of her heart.
Of course, Han's plan would not make her two daughters-in-law unhappy, so she divided all the seafood into one portion for the first wife, one portion for the second wife, and one portion for her own family. She kept some of the rest for relatives she was particularly close to, and asked Su Chunlin to take the rest to the town to sell.
Just as she finished thinking about it, Su Changxi came to her door. It turned out that someone asked him to buy seafood.
This was really like sending a pillow to someone when they were sleepy. Han agreed without saying a word.
Su Tai, who had already returned home, had no idea that her mother's family was selling seafood for her.
After the publicity of Shenzhuang's sunken wood, many curious people came to inquire about Shenjiazhuang, and those with wealthy families made direct purchases.
