Chapter 52 It’s so beautiful!
As she spoke, she took out a food box.
When I opened it, there was a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts inside.
She cooked it at home in the morning and brought it out specially for people to taste.
"Everyone can come and try it for free. This is what bean sprouts look like after they are cooked..."
When everyone heard that there was a free trial, more people came over.
"Please everyone, line up! I'll give everyone a taste of the bean sprouts, one chopstick each."
It was the first time in Longquan Town that someone was selling vegetables, and they even fried them for everyone to taste. Even people who clearly didn’t want to buy vegetables gathered around to watch the fun.
Lin Shiqi's conditions were simple, so he just picked up some tree leaves on the road, washed them, and gave each person a piece of food with chopsticks as a bowl for tasting.
They all came from humble backgrounds, but no one looked down on them.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
"Hmm! It's really good! It's good! I've never tasted this before. It's a new thing."
"I love this, young lady. How much did you say per pound?"
…
Only then did Liu react.
"Three, three cents a pound..."
Speaks a little unskillfully.
There were too many people, and it was a bit stressful being in public.
Lin Shiqi laughed and said, "Yes, we only need the price of one meat bun to buy a pound of bean sprouts and stir-fry them into a big plate."
Some people do some calculations.
"It's suitable. The price is good. I'll buy a pound and let my mother at home try it."
"I'll buy some for my wife too, so the kids can have something new to eat..."
“How do you make it so delicious?”
Lin Shiqi then told everyone the method of stir-frying. The simplest method of stir-frying is to add oil and salt.
Ancient food was all natural, and these wild beans were more fragrant than modern beans.
Therefore, bean sprouts taste better.
You can stir-fry deliciously with just the simplest cooking method.
When everyone heard it, they realized it was not difficult and everyone could do it.
The most important thing is that it is not expensive and affordable.
You get one pound and I get two pounds, and we bought more than ten pounds at once.
By the time Lin Shiqi finished tasting her plate of fried bean sprouts, all the dozens of kilograms of bean sprouts she brought today were sold out.
Liu just stood by and collected the money.
Lin Shiqi was weighing someone.
Old Zhou has an old portable scale, which is not big and can easily weigh more than ten kilograms.
Lin Shiqi did not prepare any containers. He just put the objects on the scale pan, and after weighing, he gave the villagers their own backpacks, basins, or bags to put the objects back in.
There was really no place to put the bean sprouts, so someone took off his outer clothes and packed them back.
The scene once became the hottest corner of the morning market.
A lot of people came behind him and rushed over to buy after hearing the news, and Lin Shiqi's products were all sold out.
Liu was still in a daze, as if she was dreaming.
Lin Shiqi packed up the cart and said, "Third sister-in-law, you didn't eat breakfast this morning, come on, I'll take you to have breakfast."
Liu finally woke up from her dream, "Okay, let's have breakfast. Mother gave us a few coins and told us to buy breakfast."
This is because they are afraid that Lin Shiqi and the others won’t be able to sell anything and won’t even have money for breakfast.
It's hard for Mrs. Zhou to think too much.
Two people pushed a wheelbarrow to the breakfast stall.
Lin Shiqi ordered two bowls of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and two big meat buns.
Seeing so much, Liu waved her hands and said, "I can't eat so much. I'll just have a steamed bread."
The main reason was that Mrs. Zhou only gave six cents, and each person was only given a quota of three cents.
Originally, a big steamed bread is quite big and one can fill you up.
A big meat bun costs three cents, and a steamed corn bread only costs one cent.
If you want to be more extravagant, you can order a bowl of sweet soy milk for two cents. It is so delicious to eat it with steamed bread!
I didn’t expect Lin Shiqi to order so much at once, including big meat buns and big fried dough sticks!
This costs more than ten cents.
Lin Shiqi smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, feel free to eat as much as you want. You came to help me, so I'll treat you to a meal. My business was good today, so I sold all of them and made hundreds of coins!"
Liu was also distressed. "A few hundred coins are not a lot. It's too extravagant to spend a dozen coins on breakfast."
"A few hundred coins isn't much, but I can come back tomorrow to sell them! Wild beans are harvested from the mountains. They don't count for money, but they count for time and effort."
Liu immediately counted on her fingers, "One hundred coins a day, ten days, that's a thousand coins! A thousand coins is one ounce of silver, wouldn't that be three ounces of silver a month? Oh my God!"
Lin Shiqi laughed, "If business is good, I can grow more bean sprouts, and we can sell them in the county town. It won't be a problem to sell several hundred kilograms a day. If I can't handle it alone, I will ask Third Sister-in-law to help me. Are you willing?"
Liu was even more excited than Lin Shiqi. "Yes, of course! If you have work to do, tell me. I will never refuse."
"Why are you being so polite to me, sister-in-law? I bought you breakfast, and you're not going to eat it?"
Liu was no longer polite.
Looking into the future, eating a fried dough stick and a big meat bun doesn't seem so excessive.
The two began to eat.
Lin Shiqi had eaten in the morning. After being busy for a while, he had consumed some of it and was able to eat more.
Besides, this ancient food is really delicious.
It tastes particularly original and fragrant.
Liu tasted half of everything, and her hands trembled slightly as she ate. She was an adult, but she was reluctant to eat such good food, especially after giving birth to a child. If there was anything delicious, she would subconsciously let the child eat it first.
Lin Shiqi saw through her thoughts and said, "Third sister-in-law, you can eat as much as you want. I'm going to buy some meat buns. I'll buy one for everyone in Old Zhou's family."
Liu's eyes reddened for no reason. "Sister-in-law, do you want to discuss this with my fourth brother? This..." Too generous.
What if my fourth brother is unhappy?
Lin Shiqi patted his chest and said, "I earned the money myself. I can spend it however I want. He has no right to interfere. Besides, I didn't spend it recklessly. I earned the money and bought delicious food to honor my parents. He should be grateful for my filial piety."
Liu stopped talking.
My mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts.
My fourth brother's wife is really good now. She is good in every way. She can talk, behave, make money, and teach men...
She was envious.
"Instead of buying so many big meat buns, it would be more cost-effective to buy fresh meat and make the buns yourself. I happen to have white flour at home, so I only need to buy two pounds of meat, which will only cost me thirty or forty cents. If I make the buns myself with the meat filling, I can get at least twice as much."
Lin Shiqi adopted her suggestion, "Okay! Let's go buy some meat and make our own meat buns at home. Anyone who eats my meat buns will have to help me with work in the future."
"Hahaha, okay." Liu also laughed heartily.
At this moment, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law became more harmonious.
After they finished eating, they went to the butcher's shop to buy meat. They picked out two pounds of top-quality pork belly, which only cost them forty cents.
Seeing that pork bones were cheap, Lin Shiqi spent another ten cents to buy two pork bones, and went home to stew them into carrot soup, which was more nutritious.
