Chapter 67 Cherish
When Lin Zhuzhu looked at Jiang Zhiluo, her eyes were shining.
"I told my parents and my younger brother what happened yesterday last night. They all supported my decision."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "That's good. I brought some braised pork offal today and I'll leave it with you for consignment."
"You can sell it today and see how it goes. If it's good, I'll cook some every day and sell it here on consignment."
"But it's business, and people don't know how braised food tastes. You can let everyone try it first, that is, taste it for free, and then buy it if they like it."
Lin Zhuzhu is not the kind of girl who stays in the boudoir. She has been working in the butcher business for a long time and she knows everything very well.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
She felt that few people were so generous as to give people free tastings.
Not to mention that the braised food is so expensive.
"Also, it's better to be more active in business. The cost of braised pork offal is not high, so when you weigh it, give more. If more people buy, you can give them a free spoonful of braising soup..."
Jiang Zhiluo told Lin Zhuzhu some details to pay attention to.
Lin Zhuzhu's expression changed, and she felt that she had learned a lot all of a sudden.
It was only when she was moving the braised food downstairs that Lin Zhuzhu noticed Mrs. Cui.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "This is my mother."
Lin Zhuzhu greeted warmly and politely, "Hello, Auntie."
Mrs. Cui also smiled and exchanged a few words with Lin Zhuzhu.
After making the arrangements, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui prepared to go home and prepare the chive dumplings.
Mrs. Cui said on the way: "This way we don't have to buy a special scale. Doesn't this scale become unnecessary?"
They don't have a scale at home, so they can't weigh things.
It was Mrs. Cui who borrowed it from the headman's house early in the morning.
I originally thought that if I continued to run the braised food business, I would need to weigh things, so I would buy one later.
No need to buy it now.
"Well, Mom, we don't need to weigh it for now. We can just return it to Aunt Zhu in the evening."
Madam Cui nodded and said, "Weighing things is really inconvenient and time-consuming. In the time it takes me to weigh the braised food, you could have sold several leek boxes."
When Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo returned home, they were very excited when they thought about the money they had earned in the morning.
But at this moment they had no time to count the copper coins.
I need to make the chive boxes quickly.
Madam Cui said, "Zhiluo, you knead the dough well. You knead the dough and I'll prepare the chives."
Jiang Zhiluo also had the same idea, and the two of them quickly got busy.
When Mrs. Cui thought about the money, she felt like she had endless energy when she was working.
She didn't waste any time and quickly cut, picked and washed the leeks.
Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly scooped up the flour and kneaded it.
Mrs. Cui took a look and said, "Oh, there's not much noodles left. I'll have to buy some more later."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Fortunately, my husband bought some last time. It's enough for today. We can just come back this afternoon and buy some more."
Now that I have money in my hand, I can buy more food at once.
Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "We won't sell the eggs at home. We'll keep them for ourselves and for making chive dumplings."
Fortunately, I saved some eggs during this period.
In fact, it only takes a few eggs to make a large pot of chive dumplings.
Just need some noodles.
The chive dumplings made by Jiang Zhiluo have thin skin and rich fillings, and they also save flour.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, this way we don't have to buy eggs."
"I thought it would be better to hatch some chicks so that there would be more hens and they could lay more eggs."
Eggs are a good thing, there's no need to have too many of them.
Mrs. Cui naturally agreed. "Before, we didn't have enough food or grain at home, so we only had two hens. Now that conditions have improved, we can get more hens for laying eggs. Even if the chicks are hatched, we can kill them and stew them as chicken after they are a few months old."
With this in mind, the two of them quickly started making leek dumplings.
Jiang Zhiluo worked quickly and efficiently. By the time the two of them had finished wrapping the leek boxes, more than an hour had passed.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the sun and calculated the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.
When we got to town, it was probably around half past eleven.
As she was about to leave, Mrs. Cui looked into the corner and said, "There's not enough firewood."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I can't worry about firewood right now. I'll go ask the neighbors in the village and buy some from them first."
The firewood sold in town is more expensive, so if you buy it from the villagers, it should be cheaper.
Madam Cui said, "I'm going to your Aunt Zhu's house. She has a lot of firewood piled in her yard, so it's a good time to go and return the scale."
Mrs. Cui went to the headman's house, and Zhu happened to be there.
Zhu's two sons are strong enough to work, so they don't need Zhu to do anything on a daily basis.
Mrs. Cui went there and came back with a large bundle of firewood.
Then they went to town.
When I went there, the place where they had been before was still the empty space, but someone had already occupied the stall for them.
"Little lady, come here quickly."
Jiang Zhiluo and Old Madam Cui were both stunned. They didn't recognize the people running the two stalls next to the one they had that morning.
"Sister, the stall is reserved for you, come here."
Jiang Zhiluo and Old Madam Cui walked over somewhat confused.
This stall is really good and easy to identify.
"Oh, you're finally here. A lot of people came over to ask about your chive dumplings, saying they're delicious."
"With you here, our stall business has improved a lot."
There were many people coming here, all of them were originally planning to buy vegetables, but when they saw the things on their stalls, they bought some as well.
Besides, the food business run by the young lady and her daughter does not conflict with what they sell and does not affect it. On the contrary, it can boost their business, so they are naturally willing to let them come and set up a stall.
Jiang Zhiluo thanked him with a smile.
After lighting a fire and frying the chive dumplings, I gave one to everyone at the two stalls.
"Oh, how can I not be so polite? They are only three cents each."
An old lady smelled the fragrance and her mouth was watering.
She had been smelling it all morning.
But because it was only three cents each, she couldn't bear to buy it and just resisted the temptation of the fragrance.
I didn’t expect the young lady to be so nice and give me one directly.
The old lady was very happy and tried to refuse for a while, but when she couldn't refuse anymore, she took it.
Another stall was run by a young couple, about sixteen or seventeen years old, who were selling some dried fruits.
While selling things, the young lady would also sit there and do some embroidery, such as sachets and handkerchiefs.
Jiang Zhiluo gave one to the young couple, but they were reluctant to eat it. They pushed it to each other and neither of them was willing to eat it alone. Later, they ate it together.
Looking at their expressions, Jiang Zhiluo's heart moved.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life in ancient times. On the way back when he rescued her, there was not much food left, so he said he had eaten and asked her to eat.
He was reluctant to eat any of the wild fruits he picked in the mountains and forests, and left them only for her.
So cherish her.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyelashes trembled, she lowered her head, and slowly suppressed her emotions.
She said, "Mother, I'll fry some and take them to my husband for lunch at school."
