Why sell braised pork rice in the market? I’ll decide after I open my own restaurant.
It is too cold in Beijing during the first month of the lunar year, so you can put a coal stove on a tricycle so that you can heat the braised meat at any time. Once the heated braised meat smells good, it will sell faster.
On Sunday morning, Su Yan got up at five o'clock, washed up, and started heating the braised meat and chicken in the pot.
After taking out the heated braised meat, pour it into two stainless steel barrels with a diameter of 50 cm and a height of 51 cm, add half a bucket of marinade, cover it with a lid, and ask Lu Yiming to carry it into the tricycle.
Finally, the burning coal stove, cutting board, knife, onion, ginger, garlic, coriander... chili oil, as well as the enamel basin for mixing braised dishes, hook scale, white plastic bags, brown paper bags, folding table, etc. were moved into the tricycle one by one.
"Yiming, use the rubber band to secure the iron bucket to the table."
"good!"
After Lu Yiming secured everything on the tricycle, he looked at Su Yan reluctantly and said, "Mom, how about I take half a day off and go sell braised dishes with you."
"If you want to do it so badly, let's go sell it together on Sunday. You should go to school honestly today. I'm leaving, and you can make breakfast for your younger brothers and sisters."
"Got it, Mom. Be careful on the road!"
What are you being careful about? I heard from Lu Ting that people have started selling tea eggs and steamed buns near the train station.
Reform and opening up were about to begin, and with so many educated youth returning to the city, the country had to find a way to solve their employment problems. By then, everyone could do business, and by the end of 1980, individual business owners would be able to obtain business licenses and open shops to do business.
Around six o'clock, Su Yan put on a scarf, hat and gloves, rode her tricycle out, and went to the market to sell braised dishes.
When they arrived at the market at 6:30, it was already crowded with people. Su Yan saw two chefs from a canteen selling baskets of steamed buns on a tricycle at the market.
Su Yan parked the tricycle next to them, took out the coal stove, turned on the blower, and then lifted a stainless steel drum full of braised dishes onto the coal stove to heat it up.
Take the folding table off the tricycle and put the cutting board and knife on it...
"Comrade, what are you planning to buy?"
"Would you like some of these various braised dishes?"
Su Yan opened the stainless steel barrel, took out a pig ear from it, and started cutting it quickly on the chopping board. She poured the cut pieces into an enamel basin and mixed in some green onion slices, minced garlic, coriander, and secret chili oil and sauce.
She poured the mixed pig ears into a plate, took a box of toothpicks and placed them on the table, then began to hawk, "Don't miss it if you're passing by! Come and try this secret palace stew!"
The chef selling steamed buns next door asked, "Comrade, is this stewed dish of yours really a secret recipe from the imperial court?"
Su Yan picked up a piece of pig ear with a toothpick and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "You'll know if you try it."
After saying that, she fished out a two-pound piece of braised meat from the stainless steel bucket and said, "This is braised meat fresh out of the pot. Everyone come and take a look!"
When Su Yan shouted like this, all the old men and women carrying vegetable baskets gathered around.
"Comrade, can you please try the braised pig ears on the table?"
"Try it, but each person can only taste one piece."
The big brother selling buns ate the free pig ears Su Yan gave him and said, "Your braised food is indeed better than what we make in the cafeteria. You need meat coupons, right? I'll buy some of these braised food, no matter how much per pound."
Su Yan quoted him a price for braised pork, braised pig ears, braised spareribs, braised chicken, etc. They would definitely have different prices. She was thinking, why not write a price list and hang it on the tricycle tomorrow?
"I want a braised chicken!"
"I want two pounds of braised pork ribs!"
"I want a pound of braised pork!"
"I want a braised pig's ear."
“…”
Su Yan didn't expect that the braised food business would be so popular after the free trial. Haha, it seems that there is still room for growth in this business.
