Chapter 30
The three of them sat together and finished their dinner within a stick of incense. After that, Pang Ya helped Su Guoer to pack up the stall outside, and then followed Wen Qianxi back to the escort agency. Su Guoer simply washed the stove, prepared the dough for the pot stickers for tomorrow, added some firewood to the bottom of the pot, cleaned up, and went to bed.
The sleeping room was naturally not very exquisite, and was not even as good as the big bunk bed in the Duke's Mansion.
But it was her own little nest after all, and she slept very comfortably.
After a sleepless night, Su Guoer got up early the next morning to make the pot stickers one by one so that they could be fried in the pan later.
She was busy in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door from a distance. Knowing that it was Pang Ya, Su Guoer hurried over to open the door for her. Seeing that she was standing in the morning mist with her hair a little wet, Su Guoer quickly pulled her into the house, wiped her hair with a dry towel, and first gave her a bowl of mutton soup to warm her body.
Fatty: "Not eating...working...helping...Millennium"
Su Guoer could understand what she meant. Maybe Qianxi asked her to come and help? So she said, "Don't worry, drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm yourself up first, and I'll let you help right away."
As expected, Pang Ya drank the mutton soup obediently, and then the two began to make pot stickers on the stove. Su Guoer used forty kilograms of the fifty kilograms of mutton to make pot stickers. After they were all made, Su Guoer took a look and saw that there were seven or eight pots in total.
No wonder, as pot stickers require very little mutton, and each one is only that small, so not much mutton is needed.
so…………
If all of these can be sold, it should be very profitable, right? Su Guoer looked at the kitchen full of raw pot stickers and thought to herself. Before going to bed yesterday, she counted the silver she earned from selling braised meat. Excluding the ten taels of silver given by Wen Qianxi, she made a total of 23 taels of silver. After deducting the cost of buying raw meat, she made 9 taels of silver.
So she made a net profit of 14 taels of silver.
It wasn't much, but she finally earned back the rent she spent yesterday. Besides, the pot stickers and mutton soup hadn't been sold yet. If they could all be sold, she could make some more money!
As for how to sell the pot stickers, Su Guoer has already thought about it. She will sell them for 15 wen per portion, with 20 pot stickers in it. As for the mutton offal and mutton soup, it will be the same as the one sold at the nearby stall, and will also be sold for 15 wen per portion. Anyway, her mutton offal and mutton soup tastes good, and it also contains lotus root flour, which makes it very delicious. It will definitely sell well.
Su Guoer and Pang Ya quickly packed up and left the stall.
There is also a table at the entrance of her shop. If diners want to sit down, they can go inside to drink, but they have to pay in advance. If they don't want to go inside, they can sit anywhere on the steps at the entrance.
Su Guoer decisively opened the lid of the mutton soup pot, letting the aroma of the mutton soup waft out. The pot stickers in the stove were almost out of the oven, so she lifted the lid, added some water, and continued to simmer for a while.
Then check if the pot stickers in the other big pot are ready. When they are ready, put them on a large plate and cover them with a clean white cloth. When others want them, they can just take them.
The aroma quickly attracted a group of people: "Boss, what are you selling? It doesn't look like the braised meat from last night."
A passerby came forward to ask, and it happened to be the same group of people who bought her braised meat yesterday. Seeing that she was setting up a stall here during the day and her cooking skills were pretty good, they wanted to come over and ask, thinking that it would be delicious if they could buy some braised meat to eat with Hu pancakes.
It can be seen that what is covered under the white cloth is not braised meat, but a small one, placed side by side, with a greasy look on the surface, a bit like the Yuanji fried buns in the city gate tower?
Su Guoer: "We don't sell braised meat in the morning. Now we sell mutton soup with mutton, and homemade pot stickers. Here, you can try them. It's okay if you don't buy them."
Su Guoer used a bamboo clip to pick up a pot sticker and put it in the man's hand. They had just washed up in the morning, so they could eat it directly with their hands without being too particular. They also ate Hu Bingzi in the same way.
The middle-aged man held the pot sticker, which was as long as his index finger, in front of his eyes and looked at it. Then he put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Only after he smelled the scent of mutton did he dare to eat it.
To be honest, this thing was so rare that he didn't dare to eat it at first. However, seeing that its appearance, color, and aroma were all excellent, he let down his guard and took a bite.
The first bite was the chewiness of the dough, and then the crispness when the teeth touched the burnt dough at the bottom of the pot stickers. You could even hear a crisp sound when you took a bite. He was stunned by the food, but when you chewed it again, you would find that under the chewy and crispy outer skin was juicy mutton. The mutton juice and the meat filling were mixed together with moderate salty and fresh taste, and the spicy aroma of green onions and the neutralization of the white dough made it amazing!
Mmm! Delicious! The diner's eyes widened as he ate. He simply asked Su Guoer, "How much are these pot stickers? Give me one!"
Su Guoer: "One portion costs fifteen cents and contains 20 mutton pot stickers. Do you want more?"
It's no wonder she asked the last question. To be honest, this mutton pot sticker costs 15 cents, which is a bit high for breakfast.
This morning, almost all the people passing by Qingyan Street were hard laborers such as warriors and boatmen. Pot stickers were a delicate food that did not satisfy one's hunger. The hard laborers did not care about how delicious or exquisite the food was. What they needed was to eat well and be satisfied with having meat and soup.
That’s why Su Guoer needs to ask clearly, otherwise people will ask why this thing is so expensive after they finish eating it.
She was just trying to sell it for one day. If it didn't work out, she would switch to pancakes or something tomorrow, and the pot stickers would be sold in the evening.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation of the pot stickers. He said, "Give me one. I don't eat it often anyway, so it's okay to have a snack every now and then!"
The most important thing is that it tastes so delicious that it's gone before he can even taste what it tastes like. It's really something you'll never forget.
"Oh, by the way, give me a bowl of that mutton soup too, I'll drink it!" The man holding the plate of pot stickers turned around and asked for another bowl of mutton soup, "Put more coriander and chopped green onions!"
Su Guoer: "Okay, I'll bring it to you right away. You can sit in the shop behind. Would you like to go in and have a drink?"
The man brought mutton soup and mutton potstickers into the house. Someone else came to join in the fun at Su Guoer's stall.
"What are you selling here, boss? Mutton soup? How much is a bowl?" The young man saw that Su Guoer was unfamiliar with the place, as if it was her first day selling mutton soup. He remembered that when he went to work yesterday, no one was selling anything here, so he wanted to ask first.
