Chapter 92: Hot (Update 1)



Luo Dazhuang is a conservative businessman. Su Xiaoxiao understands this and doesn't think it's a bother.

Su Xiaoxiao bought a total of ten pounds of spare ribs, ten pounds of pork belly, two large pig trotters and two sets of pig offal.

Su Xiaoxiao gave the purse to Liu Ping, asked him to pay the bill, and also gave Luo Dazhuang a bag of steaming snacks.

After being cheated again, Luo Dazhuang handed Su Xiaoxiao a pig brain with an expressionless face.

From now on, no one owes anyone anything!

After leaving the market, Su Xiaoxiao took Liu Ping to Jinji.

Liu Ping has worked in the town for many years and is familiar with the roads, mainly by recognizing people.

This was Liu Ping's first time to come to Jinji, or to be more precise, his first time to enter Jinji. He had passed by it many times before, but unfortunately he didn't dare and couldn't enter.

“Jinji is really big.”

Liu Ping looked at the lobby with carved beams and painted rafters and felt that he had broadened his horizons following Daya.

There are a few new faces in Jin Kee.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't see Manager Sun. The person who came to contact them was a man named He, who was in his early thirties.

Su Xiaoxiao heard the waiter next to him call him Manager He.

"Who are you..." Shopkeeper He frowned as he looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was dressed like a country girl, and Liu Ping, whose shoes were patched.

"Is this Miss Su?" A kitchen boy walked over quickly, smiled at Su Xiaoxiao, and said to Shopkeeper He, "They are here to deliver the goods. This is the business that Shopkeeper Sun arranged before."

Shopkeeper He frowned again, looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, had no intention of contacting Su Xiaoxiao, and walked away arrogantly.

The waiter said amiably, "Miss Su, have you brought the goods?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I brought it. It's outside."

The waiter said, "Please send it to the kitchen."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay."

Shopkeeper He returned to the counter and said something to the waiter beside him. The waiter came over and yelled at Su Xiaoxiao, "Go through the back door! Don't bump into the guests in the lobby!"

Even a fool could hear the disdain and contempt implicit in these words.

The guy smiled awkwardly: "Miss Su, shall we... go through the back door?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't take it to heart, the guy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is your shopkeeper Sun?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The waiter opened his mouth and said, "He... has gone to find another job. Miss Su, please rest assured that the original business will not change. It will remain the same as it was."

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any further questions.

Liu Ping moved one hundred salted egg yolks to the back kitchen and left four lattice plates for the egg yolks. He would bring new ones tomorrow and take the old ones back.

It was the first time for the chefs to see this kind of grid for egg yolks and they all felt extremely curious.

This type of grid can also be used to store eggs. It will not fall over, is not easy to break, and is easy to take out.

"Young man, where did you buy it?" asked an elderly cook.

Liu Ping said: "My boss taught me how to do it."

The cook said again: "Your boss is——"

Liu Ping pointed to the trays of salted egg yolks and said with a smile, "That's Miss Su who supplies you!"

Everyone suddenly realized and was shocked at the same time.

They originally thought that the girl was only good at cooking, but they never thought that she was so clever and skillful. The design of this grid... was amazing! If they also had such a grid, how many fewer eggs would be broken every day!

"Can you make a few for us too? It's not in vain!"

"This...I need to ask the boss."

Liu Ping came out and told Su Xiaoxiao that the cook wanted egg grids.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Let them find a carpenter to do it themselves. Anyway, the grid has been left to them, and the carpenter should be able to make it after seeing it."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to earn the money, it’s just not cost-effective.

The carpentry work in town was not expensive, but they could not sell it at a good price and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

There was no such thing as applying for patents in ancient times.

Liu Ping said: "Okay, I'll go tell them!"

On the other side, Su Ergou was looking at the donkey cart while putting out the snacks.

Now they have a small cart and no longer have to hang the tray around their necks to sell their goods as before.

In his sister's words, they now have their own stalls! Even though the stall is just a small cart for carrying goods——

Su Ergou was very enthusiastic, grinning, showing his first business smile of the new year! "Selling - cakes -"

"Look, look! The wife cakes are available!"

The customers who were queuing at Jinji were rushed over by more than ten people after Su Ergou called out!

These are all old customers. They have tried the pancakes sold by the brother and sister and found them much more delicious than Jin Kee’s. However, not many are sold every day, so if they come late, they may not be able to get any.

"Jin Ji also has wife cakes." A customer who still chose to queue said, "I don't know if the things sold by those country people are clean. What if I get sick after eating them?"

A young man said, "Yes, if you eat Jinji's dim sum, you can live to be 200 years old!"

The guest wanted to curse the boy for talking like that, but when he saw that he was a scholar, he shut up.

Shen Chuan snorted, opened his folding fan, and stopped queuing for Jinji. Instead, he went to queue for authentic wife cakes.

"Give me five with red bean filling!"

"I want two green bean ones! Two red bean ones!"

“Do you have egg yolk pastry?”

"Chestnut cake! Chestnut cake! Chestnut cake!"

"Do you have any chestnut-filled wife cakes today? Leave a few for me! Or they'll sell out soon!"

The brother and sister only sell 100 pancakes at their stall. Regular customers know that they have to grab the pancakes, otherwise they will be gone!

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Everyone, don't squeeze in. We made a hundred extra today. You can all buy them."

"Sorry, I didn't make pickled mustard greens today. I have a new item. Would you like to try it?" Su Xiaoxiao cut a small piece of meat floss and handed it to her.

The woman took it, gave a bite to the child first, and then ate the rest herself.

The mother and daughter loved it very much.

The little girl said, "Mother, I don't want the pickled mustard greens anymore, I want this!"

"Let me have a taste too!" said the lady on the side.

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao cut a little for her and the guests in front.

After tasting it, everyone was amazed as always.

Sure enough, the snacks sold by this brother and sister never disappoint people! The lady asked: "It's different from the cakes you sold before. Is this also a wife cake? What's the filling?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled without saying anything and looked at Su Ergou standing beside her.

Su Ergou straightened his back and said proudly, "This is Ergou Biscuit!"

Ergoubing? Is that the Ergou they understand? Why would they give it such a weird name? It's so unfashionable!

But the taste is really amazing!

It tastes salty and sweet. Different from the oily and delicate taste of pickled mustard greens, it tastes sandy, dense and soft, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is! Its crust is also softer, giving people a gentle and rich feeling, making people unconsciously lighten their bite.

Oh my god, how can someone make pancakes so delicious?

"Give me ten!" said a young man.

"I want ten too!" said the aunt behind him.

"Fifteen!"

"twenty!"

Wait, you haven’t asked the price yet!

Have you all become so rich after the New Year?

The price of meat floss cake is higher than that of wife cake. Firstly, the process is more complicated, and secondly, the cost is also there.

The candied date meat floss bun is 15 cents each, and the salted egg yolk meat floss bun is 25 cents each.

This price is definitely not affordable. Liu Ping was shocked when he first heard it. He estimated that he could only sell half of it at most.

But he just went to the kitchen to pass on a message, and when he came back, he was dumbfounded!

Did you guys line up in the wrong place? Jin Kee is next door!

Su Ergou collected so many coins that his hands were tired. People kept handing coins to him, and those that couldn't be handed to him were directly stuffed into his arms.

"Oh my! Stop grabbing! Line up!"

"Don't touch me!"

"Ouch! Who pinched my butt!"

Su Ergou was in a panic! Su Xiaoxiao packed the snacks for the guests in an orderly manner, her movements were smooth and her memory was amazing, without any mistakes.

"Uncle, here are your three chestnut cakes."

"Little brother, here are your five Ergou biscuits."

"...Yes, the purchase limit is five per person."

"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away. One hundred and twenty coins in total."

Liu Ping was stunned. His wife had told him that Daya's business was very good and all the cakes she made were sold out every day.

But they were sold out in a day and an hour, and the queue was almost longer than that at the entrance of Jin Kee!

If you don’t know, you might think this is the stall opened by Jin Kee.

"Everyone, don't go to the wrong place - Jin Kee is here! The dim sum will be out of the pot soon! The dim sum sold outside is not Jin Kee's dim sum! Jin Kee does not sell street food!"

He is a new guy in Jin Kee.

I guess it was one of the confidants of Manager He who came out and saw that many of the customers in his queue had been snatched away. He thought that the other party was impersonating him, so he shouted like that.

An old lady with a basket on her shoulder said back, "I bought it from a street vendor!"

Everyone laughed out loud!

Yes, wasn’t what they bought the brother and sister’s roadside stall?

Where did this idiot come from? You ran the wrong way? Even if you ran the wrong way, we won't run the wrong way!

The dim sum from Jin Kee was also ready, but none of the customers from Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou's side were able to get one.

Not only that, Su Xiaoxiao clearly felt that many of the guests this time were managers or servants of wealthy families.

This shows that her customer base has been raised to a higher level.

She is about to enter a new market, which is definitely the biggest surprise at the beginning of the year!

It was not until all 200 pancakes were sold out that customers started to line up again at Jin Kee.

This kind of situation would not be seen even a month earlier.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou first opened their stall, customers could not afford Jin Kee’s dim sum, so they came to buy the siblings’ snacks to satisfy their cravings.

Liu Ping was extremely shocked.

Was he really not seeing things? He had been in the town for several years, and he had never seen anyone who could compete with Jinji for business like this, and it was just a roadside stall! "Give me a few pancakes, any flavor is fine."

"Sorry, we're sold out. Come back tomorrow."

"Aren't there three more next to it?"

"That's for my brother."

Live broadcast of three people eating is Su Ergou’s standard.

Business was so good today that I didn’t have time to eat.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered it and would not sell his share of happiness.

Wait, this voice——
