Speaking of the dried tofu, the tofu that Zhu Ling and her friends sent was not sold out that day, and there were about five or six kilograms left.
When Zheng Baozhu saw it, she took it and made sweet and sour dried tofu.
After giving birth, Zheng Baozhu felt a little weak, so she put ginseng and other precious Chinese medicinal materials into the soup.
Dried tofu with added medicinal herbs has a unique and delicious taste.
Zheng Youlin came back, drank some wine, and ate a large plate of dried tofu by himself, praising it as the most delicious side dish he had ever eaten.
Zheng Youlin not only likes to eat it himself, but also asks his daughter to make some more so that he can give it to his customers.
Zheng Youlin now deals with big clients, and they are not interested in ordinary things, so Zheng Baozhu made more and made them in different flavors.
After the dried tofu was made, Zheng Baozhu placed it on an empty shelf and wrote a price on it.
Zheng Baozhu felt that no one would spend 2 yuan to buy a pound of dried tofu, even though the cost of making dried tofu was higher than this price.
…
An elderly male customer came to the store, saw the dried tofu on the shelf, and asked why it was so expensive.
Zhu Ling happened to be delivering tofu at the time and heard Zheng Baozhu explaining to the customer that when making dried tofu, precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng were added to it and cooked together.
The customer thought about it and actually bought one kilogram.
After hearing that so many Chinese medicinal herbs were used, Chen Lifang told her daughter not to make it in the future because the cost was too high and the family would lose money if they sold them. It was not cost-effective.
Zheng Baozhu said she would make some for her family and keep them on the shelf at other times.
The price is marked, and I believe customers will stay away when they see the price.
…
The old man from last time came again and specifically asked for dried tofu.
And I want them all.
Zheng Baozhu went to the factory and forgot to tell the clerk that he did not sell dried tofu, so he sold it to the old man according to the price.
When Zheng Youlin came back from discussing business outside, he heard that all the dried tofu had been sold and he felt very sad.
After that, whatever Zheng Baozhu made would not be put on the shelf, but would be taken away by Zheng Youlin.
When Yao Dongqin arrived at the store, it was because Zheng Youlin had gone out temporarily and temporarily placed the dried tofu on the shelf.
…
Zheng Baozhu has been reading medical books recently and consulting an old Chinese doctor to learn how to maintain her health.
I asked someone to make a table. The tabletop was made of stainless steel. When the top was opened, a pot was revealed. Under the table was a wood stove. You could add firewood to it and cook.
Chen Lifang said: "We have a gas stove at home, why do you still have a wood stove?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "The dishes cooked on the wood stove taste delicious."
Next, Zheng Baozhu started to kill chickens. She killed two chickens and chopped them into pieces.
The nanny wanted to help with cooking, but Zheng Baozhu shook her head and said no, she would cook today.
Zheng Baozhu washed various vegetables, put them on a plate, and prepared seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, soy sauce and vinegar.
A variety of vegetables and vermicelli were placed on the table.
Chen Lifang said, "You use this pot to cook, don't you? Putting these things on top of it will get in the way. I'll help you take them away."
"Mom, it's okay. These will be needed later."
Zheng Baozhu added water to the pot and then put firewood into the stove to start a fire.
This is different from the order in which Chen Lifang usually cooks.
Zheng Baozhu signaled her to stay calm.
The fire in the stove became stronger. Zheng Baozhu took out a small round plastic box from the side, opened it, and poured the yellow paste inside into the pot.
Chen Lifang asked: "What is this?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "This is the essence of medicinal chicken."
She tore open another small independent packaging bag and poured it into the pot. Chen Lifang only recognized the ginseng and red dates in it; the others were unfamiliar Chinese medicinal ingredients.
Pour the chicken into the pot, wait for the water to boil, and Zheng Baozhu takes a spoon to skim off the foam.
Zheng Youlin came back from outside and shouted before entering the house: "What delicious food are you cooking? I can smell the fragrance outside!"
"Baozhu made you some medicinal chicken, come and try it."
Zheng Youlin washed his hands and came over: "This is what you have been doing these days."
The chicken in the pot has been cooked for a while and is now cooked.
Zheng Baozhu held a small bowl and asked everyone to prepare the dipping sauce according to their own taste.
"It's time to start."
Zheng Youlin added some chili oil to his seasoning bowl and poured the vegetables into the pot: "It's just like eating hot pot, but the base of the pot is replaced with chicken and chicken soup."
Zheng Baozhu nodded: "That's about what I mean."
While the food was cooking in the pot, the family of three, two nannies, and two shop assistants were eating and adding vegetables to the pot. The cooking time was long and the chicken in the pot was cooked until it was soft.
After the meal, everyone was sweating.
After dinner, Zheng Baozhu said she wanted to open a medicinal chicken restaurant.
Zheng Youlin laughed: "Great, the shop across from us is for sale, I'll go buy it."
Chen Lifang was worried that the cost of medicinal chicken was too high. According to the standard of the meal she just prepared, each pot of medicinal chicken required a ginseng, not including other medicinal ingredients. Who could afford it?
Zheng Baozhu said: "This is because we use real ingredients in our own food. If we open a store, we only need to pair a serving of medicinal chicken with two slices of ginseng."
Chen Lifang still feels that the cost is very high and is worried that like the case with dried tofu, she won’t even be able to recover the cost.
Zheng Youlin said: "Of course we can't do a business that loses money, and these costs will definitely be added in."
Chen Lifang was still worried: "There aren't many rich people around us, how can we have business?"
Zheng Youlin said: "Don't think too much. You must dare to try. Only by doing it can you know the result."
