Chapter 112: Grabbing the Stall
Isn't she afraid that the glutinous rice stuffed into large intestine will be eaten up by the second-generation rich? It seems that protecting food can really make people bold.
Even the young prince was enjoying the meal. Cheng Yingzhen and her eldest son looked at each other and asked, "How about having a bowl of pork intestines stewed with tofu like your father?" The mother and son half-closed their eyes and scooped a spoonful of soup, hesitantly put it into their mouths, and swallowed it carefully.
Wow! It was like a new channel of deliciousness was opened, it was really wonderful, my eyes lit up, my movements immediately became faster, in a blink of an eye, a small bowl was finished, and after getting rid of the psychological barrier, the stir-fried pig intestines were a piece of cake, it was very chewy in the mouth, it was so fragrant and smooth, I couldn't stop eating it!
The food was fresh and even the staple food, steamed buns, was consumed more than usual. Everyone ate until their stomachs were full before leaving the table.
After digesting the food, Zhao Lan still didn't leave. Shuang Rui walked up to Su Ruojin and said, "Mrs. Su Er, can you show us the meat grinder?"
Everyone is very curious!
I've been busy with dinner and haven't had time to try the meat grinder.
Su Ruojin quickly asked Mao Ya to wash a piece of lean meat and cut it into pieces of similar size. Then she fixed the meat grinder on the top of the bench and asked Mao Ya to sit on the bench. She held the meat grinder with one hand and cranked the handle with the other hand while she stuffed the meat pieces on the side.
After a while, the minced meat came out from the outlet, which was much more delicate and uniform than the meat paste that was chopped with great effort.
Shu Tong opened his mouth and sighed: "It's really fast and labor-saving. After getting the shop, Mrs. Dong and the others must be so happy that they are crazy."
Of course, if it doesn’t save time and effort, what’s the point of making this thing?
Su Ruojin said proudly, "If you want to be lazy, you can only use your brain!"
Zhao Lan lifted his eyelids and glanced at the smug young lady. She was standing next to the oil lamp, the warm light shining on her jade-white face. She was so cute and adorable, like a fairy child that had walked out of a New Year picture. You could not help but want to pinch her.
Why did he have this idea again?
Su Ruojin suddenly grinned at Zhao Lan, "Little Prince, can you make another one for me?"
Zhao Lan's eyes moved.
Everyone looked at him.
His eyes only fell on the few small white teeth exposed by the young lady.
Why don't you say anything? Are you unwilling? Just when Su Ruojin couldn't hold back her smile, Zhao Lan spoke up, "You can have as many as you want, but I can use the blueprint however I want."
The first half of the sentence made Su Ruojin happy, but the second half... well, the rich and powerful will not do anything without profit. The Su family currently has shops and stalls, and the money they earn matches their family financial situation. She doesn't want any patents or profits or anything like that.
Xiaotou nodded and said, "The young prince can use it however he wants." This is considered as repaying the favor you have done for protecting our family.
Shuangrui and Santai both thought that the young prince was trying to lure out the Ministry of Works' spies, but they didn't expect that he asked the princess for a blacksmith shop, and actually made meat grinders in bulk, and sold them to countless restaurants and food stalls in the capital. Anyone who wanted to buy them could buy them, and they also had people sell them outside the capital. The sales volume was really great. In just over a month before the Chinese New Year, he actually made a profit...
Hua Ping asked Mr. Shen anxiously, "How much did you earn?"
"Uh..." Mr. Shen didn't dare to reveal the young master's bottom line, "Anyway, during the New Year, everyone in our investigation department will get extra money, so you can have a prosperous new year."
Huaping:......
"The most important thing is that our people have ample funds to go out on missions, so we can catch Liaoxia's spies without any scruples."
Well, the company has money, which does make things easier and allows one to do their job better, Hua Ping admitted.
He sighed, "I didn't expect the young master to be so successful at such a young age. I really underestimated him."
Mr. Shen nodded, "Now you can safely mobilize your people and have them work harder to catch the Ministry of Industry's spies."
Hua Ping nodded, "I found out that a business in Beijing has been giving gifts to Su Erniang's neighbor, Lord Xue, recently."
"Could it be that the leak of the blueprints has something to do with him?"
"Not sure yet, I'm checking." Hua Ping stood up, "I have to go back."
Su Ruojin wanted another one, but Zhao Lan sent three instead. She took two to the shop and gave the other to the Yang family. Then, Madam Yang said, "It's very popular to buy meat grinders in restaurants and hotels. My family has already bought one. You can take it back."
Su Ruojin, who had not gone out all winter, said: ...Little Prince, are you so quick?
"Okay." It just so happened that Uncle Shutong was getting married in a few days, and there was a lot of meat-cutting work at home, so he decided to keep one more person for himself.
Seeing that she would be marrying into the Su family in four or five days, Lu Dani still stood at the barbecue to help out in the evening. Business was very good and the busier she was, the more energetic she was. There was no way a poor family could be so particular.
But ever since Mrs. Fan discovered that skewers were also a business, she separated them out. Now many people who do barbecue in Beijing get their skewers from Hongji. Hongji was opened by an official’s wife, so no one dared to cause trouble. Small vendors selling skewers also saved themselves a lot of worry, so everyone was willing to come and get the goods.
The Lu family's businesses are still the same three or four, and they are all not making any progress, and the money they make is not satisfactory.
Lu Da's family set their sights on the second son's family. Since he had no son and his eldest daughter was getting married, he quickly sent his eldest son to help out at the second son's stall.
"I'm getting married in three or four days, so I can't show up in public anymore. Let your eldest cousin help me out. I guarantee that the business will be better than before."
Lu Dani was unwilling to do so and refused to let her eldest cousin get involved.
The family pushed and shoved so much that the diners were afraid to come forward and stood aside to watch the fun.
"Don't think I don't know. If you help, this stall will become yours."
Even though the niece exposed the truth, Lu Da's wife was not angry. "That's the fact. It's your father's fault for not having a son. All this property will belong to Dazhu in the future anyway. So what's the difference between taking it later and taking it now?"
The person being talked about, Dazhu, was eating a delicious kebab of lamb in big mouthfuls. In the blink of an eye, he finished one skewer and took another one. At this moment of the quarrel, there was already a pile of bamboo sticks under his feet.
Lu Dani was so angry that her head was burning with anger. She pushed her cousin to the entrance of the alley and said, "Get out! Get out of here..."
Lu Dazhu was enjoying his meal, and he wouldn't let a money-loser spoil his mood. He pushed Lu Dani with his backhand, and when he couldn't push her away, he reached out and hit her. There is no comparison between the strength of a man's hand and that of a woman's.
Lu Dani staggered due to the pain in her chest, and just as she was about to fall, someone held her up.
"Brother Tong--" Seeing the person she depended on, Lu Dani threw herself into Shu Tong's arms and burst into tears. Even the young master agreed that she could continue to run the barbecue stall after marriage, but she didn't expect that her eldest uncle's family would now snatch the stall.
"What do you want to do?" Shu Tong frowned so hard that a fly could be killed. "Are you tired of staying in the capital? Do you want to get out of the capital?"
"You dare."
Shu Tong snorted coldly, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu thought that the Su family had a backer, so they kept silent.
The eldest son has been taught that everything in his second uncle's house belongs to him, so he said arrogantly, "We have backers. Whether it's Chenghou Mansion or Xuanbo Mansion, they are all nobles in our family. If you dare to touch our family, you will be the one to leave."
Shu Tong sneered, "Then go ask Xuanbo Mansion's bastard grandson how his leg became disabled."
