Unfortunately, the market is doing so well that there's no competition for business.
Lin Wei even gave up the idea of setting up a stall on the spot because of the prince of the braised food stall.
"Forget it, forget it, I was overthinking it. This place is suitable, but everyone else thinks it's suitable too. And since we don't have to pay for the stall, there's hardly any room for us to stand. Let's just go to the entrance of the stock market instead."
“That works too. That area is also a residential area, and there are many of your regular customers there. Sometimes when they see my stall, they even ask about you.”
Is that so?
Lin Wei had no idea before.
After going through a lot of trouble, they finally chose to set up their stall at the entrance of the stock market.
"Go back and prepare the materials; we'll start selling tomorrow."
Vegetables that need to be braised are easy to prepare; a simple rinse is enough.
The same goes for meat and vegetables; basically, you just blanch them briefly, then throw them back into the pot and you don't need to do anything else.
Lin Wei controlled the flavors throughout, so there was no need to worry about the taste.
The non-spicy pot was fragrant and delicious, while the spicy pot was really flavorful.
Everyone who tried the food gave it high praise.
"It's delicious, the spicy part is delicious, but it's too spicy, but it's flavorful enough. It would be great with alcohol."
"Yes, that's exactly what I planned. Especially those bones, wings, and frames—they're so delicious to suck on!"
Cook all the ingredients the night before, and then leave them to soak in the braising liquid overnight to absorb the flavor.
As long as you don't move it, it won't feel stuffy no matter how hot the weather is.
The next morning, take them out, filter them, and then they're ready to sell.
Compared to boxed meals, selling braised food is far too simple.
Lin Wei thought for a moment, "If it's too slow, we can add rice to the menu."
"Food? What food?"
"Braised pork rice, with a piece of pork, some greens, a spoonful of braising broth, and half an egg, costs 5 yuan. Since we have plenty of time, it should be enough for us."
Lin Wei originally planned to do it tomorrow, but Gao Huifang said, "It's still early. I usually go out at 11 o'clock. Don't wait until tomorrow. I'll cook the rice. Xiao Zhang will go buy some vegetables. The kids will pick and wash them, and Weiwei will stir-fry them. It won't take long."
Without any room for refusal, Gao Huifang hurriedly went home to cook.
After realizing what was happening, Zhang Min immediately grabbed her wallet and called out, "Sister Gao, how many vegetables do you want to buy?"
"Let's buy a big bag of these. We don't know, so let's buy more. We haven't eaten them all yet, so if we can't finish them, we'll eat them ourselves."
Several children gathered around, their mouths watering. When they heard that they could eat too, they immediately jumped up, "Great! More delicious food!"
Su Sijin quickly asked, "Sister Weiwei, do you still want me to take a trip to the stock market?"
"Yes, go for a stroll. If you can get in, all of you can go in and take a look around."

After quickly preparing the remaining ingredients, the group prepared to head out.
Of course, such a large quantity of ingredients cannot be transported in one truck.
"Weiwei, you and Xiao Zhang stay there and keep watch over the sales. After you bring out the ingredients, Hongye and I will go back and make another trip."
Lin Wei quickly replied, "I'll go back and drag it away."
"No, it's hot on the road. My child is older, so it's fine for him to run with me. Let's just leave it at that and not argue about it."
"All right."
Unlike the braised pork and fried meatballs, the braised dishes didn't have such an enticing aroma that could be smelled as soon as the lid was lifted, but Lin Wei's presence left a very deep impression on people.
Basically, as soon as she arrived, someone recognized her.
"Hey, girl, here you are again."
"Auntie, hello! I'm on holiday now, resting for two months, and I'm planning to go back to my old business of setting up a stall."
"Your food is really good." The auntie glanced at her stall, and when she didn't see the familiar braised pork, she was taken aback. "Huh, you don't sell boxed lunches anymore?"
"I sell braised food, and my special flavor is different from other places. Please try it."
Lin Wei used scissors to cut the vegetables into a plate, offering each type to the other person to try.
They're not stingy with meat either. "We sell both meat and vegetables, and the price per pound doesn't matter. We also sell braised pork rice, a set meal for 5 yuan, and it tastes pretty good too."
"Braised pork rice, what kind of ingredients are included? How about you make one for me to see?"
Su Sijin, ever the sly one, immediately said, "I haven't eaten yet, Sister Weiwei, could you make one for me to try? I'd like to see it too."
"well."
Lin Wei filled a bowl with rice as a base, added some greens, then layered other vegetables on top, poured on the braising sauce, and placed the pre-mixed chili sauce on the side.
"You can add spice to the rice yourself. If you buy meat separately, there is also a spicy option. You can buy it and try it. It tastes really good."
Not only did it taste good, but Lin Wei's presentation was also exquisite, and the arrangement of the dishes looked particularly beautiful.
"Okay, give me one, and also get some spicy meat dishes for my husband to have with his drinks."
"OK."
Zhang Min stepped forward and weighed a little of everything. Apart from the boxed lunch, the weight came to 10 yuan.
"We give you a free egg with every purchase of 6 yuan or more. You're our first customer, so we'll give you two for free."
"No one would pass up a good deal." "Thank you. I trust this girl. Her braised pork tastes great. I ate it last year and I'm still craving it this year. By the way, girl, do you still make braised pork?"
Without hesitation, Lin Wei immediately replied, "Let's do it. We'll start tomorrow. We're too busy today, so let's start tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
After saying hello, the aunt left with a smile.
Once everyone left, Lin Wei said, "Anyway, we've already sold braised pork rice, so adding braised pork won't be much trouble. But we'll control the quantity and not sell that much."
But no one expected that this braised pork, with its controlled quantity, would still be everyone's favorite.
Although braised dishes are delicious, both meat and vegetarian options are tasty, they just can't compare to braised pork belly.
Lin Wei really didn't understand, "Now that everyone's life is better, why are they still so craving meat? This isn't right."
Gao Huifang explained to her, "It's not like that. You think life is better now, and everyone's life is indeed better now, but everyone is used to saving money. Plus, with the recent house purchases, which family didn't take out all their savings? So, life will naturally be even more financially strained in the future. We've set up this business at a good time. Just wait and see, this should be another source of income."
Since it's income, I definitely can't miss it.
"Since that's the case, let's just do more. We've already done it all, and it'll only take two months of hard work. We might not have the chance to do it again next time."
“Okay, you take care of the seasoning, your Aunt Gao and I will handle the rest. It won’t be too tiring even if we work for two months. Nothing is more important than making money.”
When Gao Huifang returned, Zhang Min immediately told her about the decision.
“Sure, I’m fine with it. Even if it’s tiring, it’ll only be two months. Besides, there are so many of us, how tired can we get?”
