Chapter 27 Good things are easy to sell
The duck products became popular the first time they were presented at the Fu family.
This thing has more bones than meat, and it is quite interesting to eat. It is delicious and you can't get enough of it by eating just one.
My sisters-in-law didn’t eat enough either.
Mrs. Fu said, "Sister-in-law, you've made so much. Why don't we share one with each of us?" This little bit of food made her greedy.
Lu Xiang cooked two large pots, one for each person, and that was a lot. I wanted to eat more.
I didn't expect the ordinary duck neck and duck wings to be so delicious. Some people who were given duck wings finished them in just a few bites, but those who were given duck necks were the better ones. They held them tightly and chewed them, not leaving out any meat between the bones.
The brothers and sisters-in-law of the Fu family have told Xiao Cailian more than once that the fourth son has finally married a treasure! He can make the same thing taste especially good, and it is amazing that he can make these duck scraps so delicious.
The other brothers and sisters-in-law also looked at Lu Xiang. They also wanted to eat, but were too embarrassed to say it.
Mrs. Fu San is usually a quick-witted person.
With her helping everyone speak, the rest of the people just had to wait and eat the ready-made food.
Lu Xiang said, "No, we need to save it to sell tomorrow."
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Mrs. Fu San told them about their shareholding.
Brother Fu said, "The food made by my fourth sister-in-law is so delicious, it will definitely sell well. If you need us to do anything, just let me know."
Lu Xiang said: "Thank you, big brother, I won't need it for now."
They quickly left the table and went back to their own rooms. Lu Xiang had worked very hard today, inspecting and purchasing goods, and was exhausted.
After changing clothes and lying on the bed for a while, I could hear the sound of even breathing.
When Fu Qinhui came back from washing up, Lu Xiang was already fast asleep. Fu Qinhui's eyes warmed up, and he lay down beside her.
As soon as he lay down, Lu Xiang turned over and leaned over. Fu Qinhui's body was very hot and it was very comfortable to sleep against him at night.
Lu Xiang's unconscious reaction made Fu Qinhui unable to sleep.
He was a grown man, already married, with his legal wife by his side. She came close to him late at night with a faint fragrance on her body. All these things were testing him.
But Fu Qinhui was an upright man. He used his righteousness to fight against evil thoughts and did not fall into a deep sleep until the second half of the night.
When Lu Xiang woke up in the morning, she was holding Fu Qinhui's waist tightly. Usually at this time, Fu Qinhui would have washed up and was still lying in bed.
Lu Xiang felt a little embarrassed and let go immediately.
Fu Qinhui seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. He first glanced at the panicked Lu Xiang, then saw the bright daylight outside. He got up and changed his clothes.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them mentioned the awkwardness when they woke up in the morning, as if such an intimate hug had never happened before.
Lu Xiang quickly washed her face and headed to the kitchen. The duck she had braised the previous day had been soaked in the marinade overnight, making it even more flavorful. She took the duck out and placed it in a large, clean wooden barrel she had scrubbed the previous day.
Then they put the lid on the car, prepared a few small bowls and chopsticks, put them on the back seat of the car, and pushed it away.
Several sisters-in-law kept giving instructions along the way, not just about Lu Xiang's business. If they didn't have to go to work today, they would have wanted to go with Lu Xiang.
After Lu Xiang left, several sisters-in-law were still talking: "Can this thing be sold?"
Mrs. Fu San said, "If we can't sell it, we'll just eat it ourselves." Then she added, "Don't worry if you laugh at me, I was so greedy that I couldn't sleep yesterday." It wasn't just her, her husband also mentioned it several times.
Mrs. Fu initially wanted to earn some money, but then she thought, is money really that easy to earn? Back in the village, they worked every day and kept score, only getting twenty yuan during the Lunar New Year. They'd be so careful with every penny they spent, and even buying necessities required careful consideration.
It’s even better if she can’t sell them, she can come back today and share a few more.
Mrs. Fu laughed at her and said, "You can only say this among your own family members. Don't tell anyone else. It will make people laugh at you."
Mrs. Fu said, "I can't tell you." Then she added, "If you tell anyone, the Lu family will make trouble again. Have you heard? Ever since Lu Zhaodi got married, she's been crying and making a fuss at home all day, and the family is in chaos. I heard it from her neighbors. Because of Lin Mu's incident, Lu Zhaodi's father lost his job in the county."
Mrs. Fu didn't have as much information as Mrs. Fu San, so she asked, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Fu San talked about the whole thing and said, "People should not have bad intentions or they will suffer retribution." Think about it, the Lu family is really capable of doing evil. They agreed to marry Fu Qinhui, such a good man, even though he didn't want to, and then found someone to marry him instead. They are so cunning, but the others are not fools either. Why would they do this?
Mrs. Fu, standing nearby, also felt a lingering fear and said, "Of course she does. She knows who Lin Mu is. It's hard to avoid this scoundrel, but she's actively trying to get close to him, trying to ruin Lu Xiang's reputation. We should avoid associating with people like her, or we'll end up being sold off and having to help her count the money."
As the three sisters-in-law were talking, Xiao Cailian said, "Alright, it's already late, and you're still dawdling here. Go to work now, and don't always be the last one to arrive at roll call."
The three sisters-in-law then went to work.
…
Lu Xiang came a long way. When they left, it was just dawn and the sun soon rose.
We rested twice on the way.
After finally arriving at the place, Lu Xiang was already exhausted. Fu Qinhui said, "Don't do this next time." He couldn't bear to see her so tired.
Fu Qinhui meant well, but his words were cold.
Lu Xiang rebelled against what he said and said, "I won't." She wanted to make a lot of money, so it was inappropriate for her to stay at home all day.
Fu Qinhui unloaded the things and placed them in a shady corner.
Fu Qinhui still had to go to work. But after a while, he brought a stool over and found a straw hat for Lu Xiang. The thick brim was just right to block out the sun.
"Thank you." Lu Xiang said.
Fu Qinhui twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't say much, and turned back.
Lu Xiang put out the duck goods, which exuded a faint fragrance.
Soon someone came to ask: "How to sell it?"
"Duck neck is 30 cents each, and duck wing is 20 cents each." She greeted with a smile.
But the other party thought it was too expensive, saying that there was not much meat in it and fifty cents was enough to buy a big meat bun.
He didn't buy anything, so Lu Xiang didn't rush. She continued to set up her stall. The aroma of the braised duck was subtle and not overpowering, but it filled everyone's noses. The aroma was so fragrant that people had no time to think about anything else.
"Give me a duck wing, little girl."
Lu Xiang picked up a big one.
The buyer was a little happy. As soon as he took a bite, his eyes widened. The spicy, salty and fragrant taste made him want to stop: "Delicious." No wonder he dared to open a stall. Most people can't make this taste.
Seeing someone come to buy, others followed suit.
Lu Xiang’s duck products are not expensive, and you can buy some to try if you grit your teeth. Soon, more and more people came here.
