Chapter 118: New Shop
The guest drank half the glass in one gulp.
He exhaled a large breath of air comfortably.
The customers who didn't want to drink mung bean soup and couldn't buy grilled sausages and potatoes and were about to leave were very hungry.
The four tables were filled in an instant.
They all share tables.
"Shopkeeper, give me one, too."
"Me too. I want two cups, the coolest kind."
"Okay, sir, I'll bring it to you right away. Sir, we can only drink the mung bean soup in the shop and can't take it away. So, I'll add one cent and I'll give it to you in a bamboo tube. What do you think?"
Although the bamboo tubes are free, they are cut from the mountains.
But the edges of each bamboo tube are ground so they won’t prick your mouth.
It also took a lot of effort.
How can it be given away for free?
"That's fine, it's just one cent, no problem, go get it."
The guest who wanted to take away the food waved his hands.
Said indifferently.
"OK."
Zhang Jinlan turned around, lifted the curtain, and went to the yard.
Jiang Dahe was still greeting guests at the door.
There were only four tables in total, and they were all full.
So if you want to drink mung bean soup, you can only queue outside.
"Mom, this mung bean soup with ice cubes is so refreshing to drink."
As soon as she returned to the yard, her second son said to her.
The loudmouthed Sun Pingmei has already told Jiang Eryong about the ice cube.
"Drink more and watch your mouth."
Zhang Jinlan didn't say much. She was busy preparing four cups of mung bean soup and went to the front.
We were busy until the end of noon and all the ice was used up.
The mung beans we brought were also sold out.
The shop closed early.
When we got home, the sun was still high in the sky.
"The shop doesn't have enough stuff to sell. Think about what else you can add. If you keep doing this, you'll easily offend your customers."
Sitting in the yard.
Zhang Jinlan asked loudly while holding her granddaughter.
"Mom, why don't we sell tea leaf eggs? I heard that the nobles in the imperial city eat tea leaf eggs in the morning." Jiang Eryong suggested.
"You stupid donkey, how much is tea and how much is the egg? Do you want to sell the tea at the price of the egg, or do you want to sell the eggs at the price of the tea?"
Jiang Shoujia crossed his legs and glared at his second son.
That look seemed like he was looking at a fool.
"Hehe, I forgot about that. We don't have tea trees here. Otherwise, we can go to the mountains to pick tea leaves and roast them so we don't have to spend money to buy them."
Jiang Eryong touched the back of his head.
A silly smile.
"You are really stupid. You already have tea trees, why are you selling tea eggs? Second brother, why don't we just sell tea directly?"
Jiang Siyin was also speechless.
It seems that all of his father's intelligence and strength was passed on to him, and his brothers and sisters did not get any of it.
"You little brat, you dare to call me stupid, believe it or not, I will beat you up."
Jiang Eryong clenched his fists.
Baring her teeth, she pretended to threaten him.
Jiang Siyin picked up the bench and moved closer to his father.
He closed his mouth.
Although the children in the village bullied him when he was young, his eldest and second brothers would help him fight back.
But his two brothers really beat him.
They were all born from the same mother, but he is the only one who is powerless.
No one can beat him.
Fortunately, he is the most handsome, so his parents love him the most.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siyin, who was originally indignant, suddenly felt relieved.
He waved to Jiang Fubao and said, "My dear daughter, come to your father."
"Here I come——" Jiang Fubao climbed down from grandma's legs and ran towards his father on his short legs.
The flesh on her face swayed, which melted Jiang Siyin's heart.
“Ahh—”
After Jiang Siyin picked up his daughter, he sucked on her cheek like he was eating a glutinous rice ball.
Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes.
I shouldn’t have come if I had known.
"Don't make your daughter blush. She already has three children, and she's still so unstable."
Zhang Yanzi slapped her husband hard on the back.
Jiang Siyin's tears burst out instantly.
"Wife, you hit me——"
His lips trembled.
His eyes were slightly red, and Jiang Fubao was afraid that he would cry endlessly.
Use your fleshy fingers to insert into daddy's nostrils.
Jiang Siyin, unable to breathe, had to hold back his tears.
"Well, Fubao, what are you doing?" Jiang Siyin lowered his head and took his daughter's hand, his eyes full of confusion.
"Daddy, be careful or grandpa will scold you."
Jiang Fubao turned his father's head towards his grandfather and said.
"Hehe, okay, stop making noise and think about what to add to the shop." Jiang Shoujia knocked on the bench to give face.
Jiang Siyin completely forgot what had just happened.
"How about selling wild vegetable cakes?" Zhu Yingqiu suggested after a few seconds.
"Yes, it's good to sell vegetable cakes. Fry them with lard. We just happen to have eggs at home. Knead the eggs into the dough and fry them with the vegetables. They are delicious. How about selling them for three cents each? The same price as the mung bean soup."
Sun Pingmei praised Chengdao.
"No, ever since that incident in the mountains, no one in our village dares to go to the inner circle. It's not appropriate to take risks for such a small amount of money. Besides, there is little rain and there are not many wild vegetables in the mountains. Who would go looking for them? You can't even dig up enough with a basket on your back."
Jiang Shoujia shook his head.
disagree.
"Your father is right. Fine flour is so expensive. You have to put eggs in it and fry it with pig fat. It only costs three cents a piece. You can't make much money at all."
Unlike Jiang Shoujia, Zhang Jinlan only cares about profits.
How can you do business without making money?
"Then sell the dry crisps at a higher price. Replace the wild vegetables with meat! Fry them in pork fat, so they are crispy and fragrant. Sell one for ten cents! What do you think? After all, this is a shop, not a stall, so it must be more expensive. Meat buns outside sell for five cents, but we have meat, oil, and eggs inside. If we sell it for ten cents, there will definitely be people who will buy it."
Zhang Yanzi remained silent.
As soon as you open your mouth.
It’s the ultimate winner.
Zhang Jinlan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Yan Zi is right. Now that we have opened a shop, we should not always sell cheap food. Yamato and Eryong also know that the regular customers of our shop are not poor at all. They can definitely afford ten cents.
But the taste...it has to be better than other restaurants, otherwise it will ruin our reputation. So, let's buy some meat tomorrow and try to make some when we get back to see if the seasonings given by the immortals can be used. I smell it's delicious. When the time comes, cut the meat into smaller pieces and marinate it with the seasonings for a while, it will definitely taste better."
Zhang Jinlan agreed to the proposal.
Jiang Shoujia said nothing and agreed.
I thought about it for another half an hour, but I couldn't come up with a better idea.
So, we temporarily decided on the egg and meat pie proposed by Zhang Yanzi.
Jiang Fubao has eaten this kind of cake in modern times.
As big as your face.
The freshly fried meat pie was crispy when you took a bite, and there wasn't much meat inside.
It's a little spicy and a little salty, which goes perfectly with the tasteless bread.
A cake was sold for eight yuan, and the owner of the meat cake shop boasted that he had earned three houses from these cakes.
So Jiang Fubao remembered it very clearly.
That night, Jiang Fubao filled the empty basin in the kitchen with water and put it in the refrigerator.
He took the meat off the table and thawed it in a basin under the bed.
Because the jelly was so hard, the temperature in the house dropped a lot.
Jiang Fubao, who was originally feeling hot all over, slept very comfortably.
