Chapter 16 Conspiracy
"Dad, you're not asleep?" Xia Yutong thought that her father should be sleeping at this time, but when she came to the kitchen, she saw her father guarding a big pot of braised food.
"It's okay, Xiaotong, come and see if it's okay?" Father Xia said nervously.
Xia Yutong looked at her father with a smile, "Dad, can't you smell the fragrance?" After that, she opened the pot swiftly and poked the meat in the pot with chopsticks.
"Okay, Dad, let's try some ourselves." After saying that, she took out a pig's tail from the pot.
It can be divided into two parts in no time.
The fat part was given to Xia's father.
"Dad, try it."
Father Xia was not polite. The aroma was already tempting, not to mention the addition of the meaty smell. He had already been craving it for a long time.
As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Father Xia's eyes lit up and he said, "It's delicious." After saying these two words, he began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
Seeing Father Xia like this, Xia Yutong was happy, "Dad, go slowly, there's still some in the pot, don't be impatient."
She also missed this taste. It was so delicious when she put it in her mouth.
Even after they finished eating the pig tails in their hands, they still looked at each other feeling unsatisfied.
When they looked at each other, they both laughed.
"Dad, you're not afraid of not being able to sell it now, are you?" Xia Yutong teased her father.
Father Xia shook his head. "Don't worry. If something this delicious can't be sold, then those restaurants in town won't have to open anymore."
He's not exaggerating, this flavor is unprecedented and will definitely never be surpassed in the future. His daughter is just amazing.
"Then Dad, please get ready. We will go to West Street to set up the stall later." She had asked Father Xia to prepare the things for the stall a long time ago. It was nothing special. Just a cart and a clean white cloth.
Get another knife and a chopping board.
"become."
Father Xia was very enthusiastic and finally the four taels of silver were not wasted.
Before setting up the stall, the father and daughter kept their lunch warm in the pot, for fear that they would come back late and leave Xia's mother and Rongrong hungry.
When leaving, Father Xia also told Mother Xia not to go out.
But even if he didn't say it, Xia's mother would never leave the house.
They pushed the cart out, and the fragrance moved with them.
Soon the neighbors gathered around.
Upon asking, I found out that it was the new residents who made the food and sold it on the street. No wonder it smelled so good.
After asking the price, everyone thought it was a bit too expensive, but Xia Yutong was not a kind person and it was impossible for her to give people food for free.
He laughed and left the path in front of his house.
West Street is very close to you after exiting this path.
After finding a place to make a hole, the two of them set their things down.
As soon as the meat is taken out, the aroma is very tempting.
Seeing many people sniffing, Xia Yutong smiled and shouted, "This is delicious braised food. If it's not delicious, I won't charge you."
Braised food is a new thing that no one has heard of.
Some of the brave ones immediately stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, how much is your meat?"
No need to ask whether it tastes good or not, it smells really good.
"It's not expensive. The pig ears cost thirty cents per pound, and the pig face meat only costs fifteen cents..." This time it was just a big pig's head, only about twenty pounds.
They bought it for only eight cents per pound, plus some brine, firewood, etc., fifteen cents was not expensive at all.
When they heard the price, many people took a deep breath.
"So expensive?" You know, they all know the price of live pigs.
A pig's head like this only costs eight cents when it's raw, and the pig's ears are included. But what about now?
It's so expensive, really...
"It's not expensive, not expensive." Xia Yutong is not afraid that others will think it's too expensive, but she is afraid that others will not know the value of it.
"You should know that raw pigs don't have this kind of fragrance. Smell it and see if it smells good or not."
Everyone looked at the little girl hawking her wares with great skill and became amused, saying, "It smells good."
"That's right, these are all cooked with spices that my father spent a lot of money to buy, how can they not smell good." When she said this, Xia Yutong looked at her father with resentment.
"You know, spices are very expensive. One bag of spices can only make one pot. My family is losing money with such a small amount of money." Xia Yutong kept complaining.
All the parents turned their eyes to Xia's father, making him blush.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? It only cost one or two taels of silver. The spices can be used twice. Selling them at this price is just enough to break even. If we can't sell them, we can eat them ourselves." Father Xia pretended to go forward and hit someone.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was the look of a father who was angry and ashamed when his own children revealed his secrets.
Some kind-hearted people immediately came forward and said, "Brother, how can you hit a child? I bought this meat, give me two pounds, and I will use it to drink with wine today." An uncle with a full beard stepped forward to stop Xia's father and said.
When he heard someone wanted to buy it, Xia's father ignored his talkative daughter.
Of course, this was what they had just discussed.
If you want to attract people, you have to attract attention.
With the uncle's purchase at the beginning, soon all those who were attracted by the fragrance took action.
Come to think of it, it’s just a dozen cents, can’t you buy a pound?
If one pound isn't enough, you can always afford half a pound.
Father Xia originally thought that it would take at least until the afternoon to sell out, but what about now?
In just about half an hour, all the braised food on their cart was sold out.
Some people even bought it and ate it on the spot. The taste was amazing.
If one pound is not enough, add two pounds.
More than 20 kilograms of pig head meat were sold out just like that.
Before he had time to count the money, Father Xia sent away a few old diners who had not eaten enough, immediately packed up his stall, and took his daughter to buy meat.
Seeing her father like this, Xia Yutong looked like a teachable child and said, "Dad, let's buy more meat today, like pig's trotters and other things." Take it slow, step by step.
Don't be in a hurry.
You know, brine can be used to stew anything in the world. No matter what it is, it can stew you.
After Xia's father took over several butcher shops, everyone became enthusiastic about him.
Father Xia didn't bother to be polite with them. After negotiating the price lower again, he came to collect the pig heads and trotters every afternoon.
He wanted to buy more, but his financial situation didn't allow it.
Of course, that’s because Father Xia hasn’t gotten carried away yet.
After buying the things, Xia Yutong also bought an old hen.
This is used to make soup for her mother.
Rongrong was able to eat some liquid food slowly, but her milk supply had not yet stopped.
The child is so pitiful, so let her drink for a while longer. Next year she will be three years old and it will be time for weaning.
It was still early, and Xia Yutong was busy preparing lunch at home. After packing it, she took all the leftover braised meat at home and brought it to Xiaoxuan.
That’s right, she is the one who delivers Xiaoxuan’s lunch every day.
Fortunately, it’s not far from home and only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
The Master was also from West Street, so if you looked further ahead, they were all neighbors.
It was just past noon when Xia Yutong arrived at the college.
She happened to meet them when they were leaving school and was standing in the yard.
Xiaoxuan was soon found.
