Chapter 392
More and more people gathered around, filling the small stall to the brim.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Is that Miaomiao and Boss Su?"
Su Miao turned around when he heard the voice, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on his face. It turned out to be an old acquaintance - "Brother Moss" from the sugar factory.
Moss had his signature fluffy hair style, polished with wax, and his unique style was evident at a glance.
"Brother Mo! Long time no see!" Su Miao greeted him warmly.
Moss responded excitedly, "Yeah, yeah! I haven't seen you since you went to Nancheng. You've grown so tall in just three years! It's true that the climate and environment in big cities are just so good!"
As he spoke, he looked Su Miao up and down, his eyes full of emotion.
"Hehehe! Not more, not more, just ten centimeters!" Su Miao smiled playfully and stretched out his hand to gesture.
"You have some delicious food again? What are you selling?"
Moss's eyes were drawn to the stall and he asked curiously.
"My seventh uncle made a delicious roast suckling pig..."
Su Miao was about to recommend the roast suckling pig to Moss in detail, but when she turned around, she was surprised to find that the chopping board was empty. Only a pig's head was left there alone, and Uncle Qi was looking at her with embarrassment.
Originally, the piglet weighed more than ten pounds, but after roasting, only about ten pounds were left.
The customers at the scene bought one pound and I bought half a pound, and the roast suckling pig was snapped up in no time, and there were still a lot of onlookers who hadn't bought anything yet.
Some people followed here out of curiosity, not even knowing what was being sold. They kept asking anxiously, "Are you selling pig heads? Are you selling pig heads?"
Su Miao said to everyone with full of apology: "I am really sorry, because today is our first time to set up a stall to sell roast suckling pig, so we were a little conservative and only roasted one. Thank you very much for your likes.
We will roast more tomorrow and set up the stall here at 11 o'clock sharp. If you want to buy roast suckling pig, you can come here tomorrow."
Moss looked eagerly, but he didn't see the roast suckling pork. But he rolled his eyes and pointed at the pig's head cleverly, saying, "Miaomiao, do you want to sell this pig's head?"
"Pig head? Hehe, how about a friendly price of 5 dollars for the whole thing?" Su Miao responded with a smile.
"Deal, wrap it up for me and I'll cut it up myself when I get home! This pig's head looks like it must weigh almost two pounds, and it'll definitely go great with wine!"
A man next to him who hadn't bought anything said in surprise, "Huh? You didn't even try anything and you just bought a pig's head?"
Moss pointed at Miaomiao and laughed, "Why do we even need to taste test their food? Did you know they were the first place in Ning County to sell self-service porridge? Their stir-fried pork offal and braised dishes are unmatched in Ning County to this day!"
After he said this, most people suddenly realized and remembered. After all, the Su family's self-service porridge was very popular in Ning County at that time, and its popularity should not be underestimated!
"Oh! It's their family. I thought the girl looked familiar." An old lady said, slapping her forehead.
"Their food is really delicious, why did they close down later?" someone asked in confusion.
"Yes! After you closed your business, many people followed suit and opened self-service porridge stalls. None of them were as good as yours, but they were still delicious, and now their business is booming." Another person echoed.
Everyone was talking at once. Most of them had eaten porridge at the porridge stall before, or bought braised pork offal, and they praised the Su family's craftsmanship.
Su Miao explained, "Because I went to study in Yongcheng, my father went with me and opened a shop across the street from Yongcheng No. 1 High School, so I didn't set up a stall in Ning County."
Everyone felt it was a pity. If he was just there to accompany her while studying, she might come back later. But now she has opened a shop in the provincial capital. People tend to move up the ladder, so the chances of him coming back are slim.
So they all turned their hopes to roast suckling pig. One aunt asked, "Girl, you said this roast suckling pig is an ancestral craft. I remember your braised food was also an ancestral craft. Were your ancestors imperial chefs?"
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Su Miao was thinking about how to cover it up. As expected, if you tell a lie, you will need a hundred lies to cover it up.
At this moment, the second uncle said with great confidence: "Our Su family's ancestors were high-ranking officials, but they were not imperial chefs. They were both civil and military officials. Hundreds of years ago, our family moved here from Shandong."
Su Miao immediately continued, "Yes, yes, yes! We used to have a recipe book at home, but it's now destroyed. The descendants only learned a few dishes, and each family learned them differently.
My seventh uncle learned how to roast pigs. He uses the same ingredients, but his roasted pigs are more fragrant than others."
With Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng acting as the living signboard, no one doubted the taste of the roasted pig anymore. When they dispersed, they kept asking Uncle Qi to roast more tomorrow.
After closing the stall, Su Yuanzheng took his second and seventh uncles back to his own yard.
After so much trouble and riding for such a long time, everyone is tired and needs to take a break before going back.
As soon as they entered the yard, Second Uncle couldn't wait to take out a stack of money and stuff it into Seventh Uncle's hand, saying with a smile on his face, "See! I told you, it's right to listen to Miaomiao. Look how much money you've made in a short time!"
Uncle Qi took the money with both hands and counted it slowly one by one. When he finished counting, he couldn't close his grinning mouth.
"Forty-one yuan!!! If I had sold that piglet directly, it would have been less than 20 yuan, and in just one morning, its value has more than doubled! Second brother, pinch me, I'm not dreaming!"
Uncle Qi was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Go! I'm too lazy to pinch you. Tomorrow you and your sister-in-law can get two more and earn more!" The second uncle joked with a smile.
Uncle Qi was so excited that he took out a few bills and stuffed them into Su Miao's pocket: "Miao Miao, Uncle Qi didn't give you enough New Year's money, so I'm making up for it now. You really are my God of Wealth!"
Su Miao didn't take it, and quickly hid behind his father, smiling and refusing: "What are you doing! How can you give New Year's money twice? Put the money away quickly."
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Uncle Qi had no choice but to take the money and said, "Okay! Then I'll give you a big gift when you finish the college entrance examination and go to higher education this year!"
Second uncle and seventh uncle were about to return to the village after resting for a while. Su Miao and his father brought their packages with them when they came and would stay at home for a while.
Let’s wait a few days until everyone is not busy with the New Year affairs, and then go back to discuss the drying yard matters.
Uncle Seven said he would be at his stall at 11 o'clock tomorrow. Uncle Two said he had to visit his aunt's relatives to wish them a happy new year, so he wouldn't come with him.
Su Miao made an agreement with Uncle Qi to go with his father to help him sell roasted pigs tomorrow.
With the help of these two, Uncle Qi felt relieved and said frankly that if he followed Miaomiao, he would make money and eat meat!
