Chapter 55 Not Stupid (Part 1)
Lin Zhuzhu was shocked when she heard Jiang Zhiluo's words.
"ah?"
She was so stunned that she couldn't recover from her shock.
Suddenly I didn't understand what Sister Jiang meant.
Jiang Zhiluo was not in a hurry and gave her time to think.
Lin Zhuzhu came back to her senses and said, "Sister Jiang, if you want to make braised food, you can just leave it with me for consignment."
"My place is not a market. The backyard is my own house. It's convenient for storing things. There's also plenty of space at the door. I can speed up the chopping board and put in the braised food."
"The braised food you make is so delicious. People come here just for your food and will buy things from you often. When they come here more often, they will definitely buy meat from me as well."
Lin Zhuzhu is not worried that people buying braised food will affect her meat business.
Her father had lamented to her many times before that if she knew how to make braised food, the meat stall business would be better.
It’s a pity that they don’t know how to braise it.
Then she had seen the business of the butcher stall at the market. At the beginning, that family was just an ordinary butcher stall and the business was average.
It was because we added braised pork later that business started to pick up.
People in the town are different from those in the village. Many people in the town are used to buying ready-made things, which means they can be eaten directly after they are cooked.
The villagers live frugally. When they occasionally buy a piece of meat, they cook it at home.
Jiang Zhiluo felt comfortable doing business with Lin Zhuzhu because she was an honest person.
Then he told me what he had thought about that afternoon, "Although I want to sell braised food here on consignment, I can't lend you this place for nothing."
"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll buy pig offal from you, make braised food from it, and sell it on consignment. I can take a commission, so I'll give you 10%."
"Braised pork offal, I'm going to set the price at twenty-nine cents per pound."
There is a difference between twenty-nine cents and thirty cents. If this were the era of technology, she would want to set the price at twenty-nine point nine cents.
When people hear this, they feel that more than 20 cents does not seem very expensive, but if it is over 30 cents, people will feel that it is a level higher.
Lin Zhuzhu was so shocked that her eyes widened.
No, pig offal can be sold at this price, it is much more expensive than pork belly.
Of course, pork belly is raw meat, and this one is braised.
But when Lin Zhuzhu thought about the braised food made by Jiang Meime before, she was no longer surprised.
She had attended a banquet with her parents before, and once they had braised pork, which she thought was really delicious.
But now when I think about it carefully, I feel that the taste still cannot be compared with the one made by Jiang Meimei using pig offal brine.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "You can also go home and discuss it with your family first."
Lin Zhuzhu came back to her senses from her surprise and quickly said, "No, no, I can make the decision myself. This is a good thing."
She gets commission without having to do almost anything.
She felt a little embarrassed.
But she still thought that the braised food business could boost her butcher business.
Moreover, her butcher shop is not always busy, as she can take care of the braised food business on weekdays.
"From now on, I'll save all the pig offal for you, Sister Jiang."
Jiang Zhiluo thought she should buy it.
Finally, after insisting with Lin Zhuzhu for a while, they agreed on a price of two cents for a large bucket.
Originally, Lin Zhuzhu wanted to give it as a gift, but Jiang Zhiluo felt that in order to do long-term business, she still had to buy the ingredients.
If someone sees that braised pork offal is so delicious in the future, they might also buy it.
By then the pig offal can be sold at a price, but she is taking it for free here, which is not a good thing.
So it is still necessary to negotiate a good deal from the beginning.
Lin Zhuzhu was very happy and excited.
Jiang Zhiluo took the pig offal and went home.
After she returned home, she started burning wood ash, preparing to use it to clean the pig offal.
They are still at the stage of solving the problem of food and clothing, so Jiang Zhiluo doesn't care whether the pig offal has a smell or not.
She made a simple mask out of cloth and put it on, then started washing.
At this moment, Mrs. Cui hurried back home.
"Zhiluo, you are at home."
Jiang Zhiluo looked up at Mrs. Cui, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and her face turned pale.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Cui then spoke, "It's your Grandma Zhao. She went to the mountains to chop wood and was bitten by a poisonous snake. The doctors couldn't help her, and she's dying. Mother was wondering if you could help."
"Mother didn't want to say it at first, but your Grandma Zhao has two grandchildren at home who are counting on your Grandma Zhao to live with them. If your Grandma Zhao passes away, the family will lose its backbone. The little one has cried until his voice is hoarse."
Mrs. Cui also felt really uncomfortable after hearing this.
Thinking that Zhiluo knows medicine, I wonder if there is any way.
Jiang Zhiluo's face changed immediately. She quickly put down her work, washed her hands, and then took the set of silver needles and said, "Mom, take me to see it quickly."
Jiang Zhiluo knew the situation of the Zhao family in the village. Grandma Zhao's son had joined the army and died on the battlefield. Her daughter-in-law took the pension and ran away. It was Grandma Zhao who wiped away her tears and worked hard to raise her two grandsons.
This family is relying on Grandma Zhao.
Mrs. Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo and went to take a look without saying a word, and felt that her previous hesitation was really inappropriate.
"The one on the east side."
Old Madam Cui hurriedly took Jiang Zhiluo over.
At this time, many people in the village heard the news and went to take a look.
Everyone tried to help, but no one could help.
The best doctors in town shook their heads and told the Zhao family to prepare for the funeral.
"Woo, grandma, grandma, please don't be in trouble."
An eight-year-old boy was crying hysterically.
The older one, who was fifteen years old, also knelt beside the bed.
Some soft-hearted women also secretly wiped away their tears.
"Sister Cui, why are you here?"
The village head and his wife, Zhu, naturally had to help here and comfort the two children.
Madam Cui said, "My daughter Zhiluo came to take a look. We can't just give up on her like that before she's even breathed her last."
When Zhu heard this, her expression changed, "Zhiluo she...she..."
At this moment, she reacted excitedly. It was Zhiluo who saved the magistrate's daughter.
She thought it was just a coincidence. Could it be that Zhiluo could really save and heal people?
She suddenly thought of her good sister Ye in Xingshan Village.
Her parents said that Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye Shi all came to Shanxing Village to escape famine, but their appearance and temperament did not look like ordinary people.
As their daughter Zhiluo, it's normal for her to have some abilities, right?
"Cui's daughter-in-law? She doesn't look stupid."
"Who said she was stupid? If she was stupid, could she have found a way to force Master Cui to marry her?"
"Oh, you are forcing me. Cui is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law and she won't even say no." The one who said this was naturally Niu.
In the morning, Niu pulled Cui aside and talked for a few words, and then Cui started to confront her.
I have to say a few words in front of my fellow villagers.
