Chapter 126 Shi Er discusses business
Smelling the aroma, many people gathered in front of the barbecue stall. No one had ever seen ham sausage, and everyone was very curious. Since there was a distinguished person present, no one dared to make a noise, and they just watched quietly as the immortal-like young man ate the ham sausage.
Zhao Lan took the sausage and took a bite under everyone's curious gaze. The taste was already good before it was roasted, and even more delicious after it was roasted. It was steaming and could even burn your tongue if you were not careful. But the moment you bit it off, the heat and chewiness were indescribable and he couldn't stop eating it.
An elegant and graceful young nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes stood in the fireworks on the street. With a smile on his lips, he waved the hollow bamboo stick in his hand at Su Ruojin across the barbecue fireworks.
The young man is proud and the stall is noisy.
It was so obviously incompatible. In the hustle and bustle, Su Ruojin didn't expect to see the smile of the world-weary young boy at this moment. It was like the light of the moon shining down after the dark clouds above head dispersed. At this moment, the young prince amazed everyone.
Oh my god! She is so charming at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up?
Su Ruojin took a deep breath, put away the amazement in her eyes, and quickly served the free supermodel a hot sausage, "Young Master, please enjoy it slowly."
Zhao Lan took it but did not eat it. Instead, he nodded slightly to the young lady and said, "The sausage is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. See you another day." He turned around and left.
Why does it feel like the thirteen-year-old boy suddenly lost all his hostility and became clear and gentle.
Su Ruojin: Why do I feel like he is my dad?
Shu Tong and others: Is it because we have been studying with adults for so long that our behavior is so like that of adults?
The little nobleman disappeared from everyone's sight, and someone called out, "Give me ten skewers of grilled sausages..."
"Give me twenty skewers..."
…
The onlookers who reacted suddenly swarmed over and blocked the way. “I shouted, give it to me…”
The barbecue stall was almost overturned, but fortunately Hua Ping showed up in time and turned the tide by blocking the crowded crowd. With his support, everyone lined up and the sausages were supplied in limited quantities to ensure that everyone could have a taste.
In a short while, the two large baskets of sausages were sold out.
Dashi stood in front of the stall and shouted to the crowd, "Limited supply every night, first come first served, no more after the expiration date!"
Like the candied haws in the winter of the previous year, ham sausage swept through the city of Bianjing like the wind and became the most popular snack in the city of Bianjing. People imitated it... looked for sources of supply... everyone who wanted to do this business racked their brains to find ways to do it.
The imitators found that no matter whether it was pig or sheep intestines, the intestines in various slaughter shops had already been ordered. They could not find the right materials to make sausages. So they turned around to look for the source of the goods. After asking around, they found out that it was the general affairs of the Prince of Pingyang. Who dared to touch it? They could only watch others make money without any way to stop them.
Su Ruojin had thought about the popularity of the business. After all, the popularity of sausage snacks in later generations was there for all to see. However, she still didn't expect that the business would be so popular that Prince Zhao had to build large workshops in several places to barely reduce the popularity.
She secretly felt lucky that she didn't do it herself, because the Su family would not be able to suppress it!
The hawthorn slice business was slow, so Shi Er shamelessly approached Su Ruojin and said, "Young master, in this winter and spring, you should have seen clearly how my business was doing and what kind of person I was, right?"
I have indeed seen clearly that his business ability is average, but he is an okay person. To use an old saying, he is tasteless and a pity to throw away.
Shu Tong didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
“Useless.”
Shu Tong was so upset that he curled his lips in sympathy, "But the master seems to have a good impression of him. If you don't give him some small business to do, he will probably bother the master again."
Is that so?
Shu Tong nodded: "Affirmative."
Su Ruojin thought about it and it was true.
Shu Tong stared at the young lady, waiting for her to speak, but nothing happened. "Is it gone just like that?"
"yes."
Shu Tong curled his lips and said, "Anyway, there are already many imitators in the capital, so why not think of a way for Shi Erlang to find a place to sell grilled sausages."
What solution? Su Ruojin thought to herself that she was not a money-giving kid, so how could she have so many solutions?
Just as I was thinking about how to get angry with Shu Tongshu, an idea popped into my mind, "How about asking him to set up a stall in the small street at the foot of Dongshan Academy to sell grilled sausages?"
Shu Tong felt as if he had gotten the business, and quickly accepted it on behalf of Shi Er.
"Uncle Shutong, you are so attentive, could it be that you have received some benefits from the Shi family?"
Shu Tong shook his head vigorously, "How is that possible? I just felt that he had taken care of her outside Beijing..."
Mrs. Ding had said that Shi Er had always taken care of her as a pilgrim, and that he was a decent person. Su Ruojin finally nodded, "Tomorrow, the young prince's people will come to deliver grilled sausages. Ask them to bring 200 more sausages each time, and have him sell them at the foot of the academy. By the way, keep an eye on my brother's situation in the academy."
The next day, Shi Er learned that he could sell grilled sausages at the foot of the academy mountain. He jumped for joy and said, "Our house is small and my mother asked all of us brothers to move out. Now it's my turn. I'll take my wife to rent a house at the foot of the mountain and sell grilled sausages." Just thinking about those days, he must have been happy.
Shi Er happily took away two hundred sausages. When he was about to leave the shop, the servants and workers in Su's shop were very busy. He seemed to have thought of something, turned around, hesitated for a long time, and returned to Su Ruojin.
"Is there something wrong with Uncle Shi?"
Shi Er looked like he had trouble speaking.
Shu Tong's face turned serious: "Shi Er, don't be ungrateful. You can get this..."
"No... I'm definitely not complaining about the lack of sausages, but... I have a sixth brother who fell off a wall when he was a kid and broke his leg. He's despised by his brothers and sisters at home every day. He's been treated so badly that I'm afraid he won't live more than two years. I see you guys are short of manpower to string vegetables and sausages, and although my brother has a lame leg, he can still sit and string vegetables and sausages without any problem."
Su Ruojin and his servant looked at each other. They had an instinctive sympathy for people in trouble, but when they knew nothing about the situation, it was not a good idea to show indiscriminate sympathy.
Shi Er had been around the streets before, so he immediately understood the concerns of the Su family's master and servant. "Don't worry, his lame leg won't affect his daily life. I promise you on behalf of my brother, as long as he has two meals a day and a storage room to stay in, he doesn't need anything else."
The skewers are all ready-made from Mrs. Fan’s workshop, but most of them are meat. Su Ruojin also added vegetables, such as leeks, eggplants, lotus roots, etc. The shop really needs someone who can skewer vegetables.
Su Ruojin thought about it and said, "Okay, bring it here for me to see. As long as the person is clean and quick, the salary will not be much, but it is still worth it."
"Then..." Shi Er still hoped that his younger brother would move out of the house and not be bullied by his family anymore. Otherwise, the money he earned would probably be taken away by his family, and he would still be humiliated to death.
It is still possible for Su Ji's shop to make room for someone to live in: "Again, let me see the person first."
"Okay, okay." No matter what, the fact that the young boss agreed meant that there was hope. Shi Er hurried back to pick up Lao Liu.
