Chapter 41 Why is it so expensive?

Others also started to pick up their chopsticks and tasted the food. Ji Xiaoni was the most enthusiastic one. She exclaimed as soon as she took a bite of the pig liver: "Wow! Auntie, did you make this? It's so delicious!"

The whole family laughed.

Ye Lan smiled and said, "Jiashu's daughter-in-law, your cooking skills are really amazing! If it weren't for the policy, I would be the first to support you to sell it! I'm sure people will rush to buy it."

Ji Jiamu: "Sister-in-law, what price are you going to sell these for?"

Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "I'm going to sell the pig intestines for one dollar per pound. When I got the pig liver and pig heart, they were one cent more expensive than the pig intestines, but I thought I would just sell them all for one dollar. This way it's easier to calculate. Calculate the price."

Zhang Cuihua was surprised and said, "One yuan per pound? ! Is anyone willing to buy it if it's so expensive?"

Zhao Qian was also worried and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, why don't you sell it cheaper at the beginning, otherwise what will you do if you can't sell it?"

Tong Xiayue picked up a piece of pork liver and put it in her mouth, and said lightly, "Do you think it tastes good? Have you tasted it before?"

Zhao Qian said truthfully, "It's really delicious. I've never tasted it so delicious before."

"That's it, it will definitely sell well tomorrow. Even if it can't be sold out, it will definitely not lose money. We can bring the rest back to us to eat, and it will be considered as improving the family food." Tong Xiayue joked to ease everyone's anxiety.

"Jiashu, are you home?"

Just when he was halfway through his meal, he heard someone calling outside the house.

Ji Jiashu walked into the yard and saw that it was Wang Xiaojun.

Ji Jiashu: "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaojun: "The hoe at home is broken, and I need it for work this afternoon, so I came to borrow one from you temporarily. Haven't you finished eating yet?"

Ji Jiashu handed the hoe over: "Well, I just ate, do you want to eat more?"

Ji Jiashu was just being polite, but Wang Xiaojun was waiting for this sentence. As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled a strong meaty aroma, which made his stomach growl again after just eating.

Wang Xiaojun said excitedly, "Then I won't be polite. My family had porridge for lunch, and it was like nothing. Hehe."

Tong Xiayue saw Wang Xiaojun coming and went to the kitchen to get another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Wang Xiaojun looked at the table of pig offal, and his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to try the pig intestines. After all, he knew the pungent smell of pig intestines.

Tong Xiayue said politely, "Xiaojun, try it and give me some advice."

I've heard Ji Jiashu say that my sister-in-law is a good cook, but I've never tried it. Now I have the chance.

After finishing a round of food, Wang Xiaojun put down his chopsticks and gave two thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, this is amazing! No wonder Jiashu has gained weight recently! I finally found the reason."

After finishing the meal, Wang Xiaojun realized that it was not a New Year or a festival, so why did the Ji family eat so well? I had heard Ji Jiashu say that the family was in a bit of trouble recently and he had to work harder to earn more work points.

So he pulled Ji Jiashu aside and asked, "Jiashu, tell me honestly, has your family made a fortune?"

Ji Jiashu looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Wang Xiaojun: "You just told me a few days ago that your family was in financial difficulties. You still want to hide the table full of meat today?"

Ji Jiashu hesitated for a while, thinking that Wang Xiaojun was a man of good character and an honest person, so he told him that Tong Xiayue wanted to do business.

Unexpectedly, he jumped up excitedly when he heard it: "That's great! Brother! Can you let me go with my sister-in-law? I can help!"

Ji Jiashu shook his head: "This is not a big deal yet, I can't make the decision for her. If you have this idea, I can ask for you later."

Wang Xiaojun: "That's great! Please ask for me first. It would be best if you can take me with you!"

The next morning, Ji Jiashu followed Tong Xiayue to the town, carrying a backpack full of things. After all, it was their first time to set up a stall, and Ji Jiashu was not at ease letting her go alone. Besides, how could a skinny and weak girl like her carry dozens of kilograms of things?

The two of them came to the small market where they had set up their stall last time. After unloading the backpack, Tong Xiayue took out the sample food that she had prepared in advance.

Many people came out to buy food early in the morning. When they passed by Tong Xiayue, they smelled a scent of meat, which they had never encountered before.

Two women in shirts and leather shoes passed by and asked curiously, "Little girl, what's in your backpack? Why does it smell so good?"

Tong Xiayue saw that this was not a ready-made customer, so she smiled and said, "Sister, this is salty. You can try it first. If it doesn't taste good, it's okay if you don't buy it."

One of the women said in disbelief, "Is there such a good thing in the world? You won't force us to buy it after we have eaten it, right?"

Just when the woman was worried, many people gathered around, all attracted by the smell of meat.

It's no wonder that people are suspicious. Tong Xiayue's samples are not just a little bit, but are all relatively large pieces. A piece of pig's large intestine is half the size of a thumb.

Tong Xiayue saw that she was still hesitant, so she comforted her: "Look at what you said, how can it be possible! So many people are watching, everyone is a witness, anyone who wants to taste it can, it's free!"

The onlookers heard the little girl speak so generously, and began to taste it one after another.

"How is this pig's large intestine made so fragrant?"

"It's so delicious, I haven't eaten such a fragrant pig's liver! Little girl, how do you sell pig's liver?" A middle-aged woman who tasted it in the crowd asked.

Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Big sister, originally the pig liver and pig heart are more expensive, I will give you the same price, all the salty food here is one yuan per pound!"

The woman was a little shocked by the price and asked in confusion, "These pig offal are not worth much, why are you selling them so expensively?"

Other people around who had tasted the food thought it was delicious and were ready to buy some, but after hearing the price, they backed off.

Now pork outside is also one yuan per pound, and this pig offal, which is only a few cents at most, is actually sold for one yuan.

"Weigh two pounds of pig intestines for me!" A burly man squeezed into the crowd.

Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, today is my first day to open the stall, so I'll give you some kimchi I made myself. You can try it when you go back."

Some people who were still waiting around began to place orders when they saw that they could give kimchi away today.

"I want 50 cents of pork liver!"

"Give me one dollar for pork heart and liver!"

"Give me two pounds of pig intestines!"

…………

Although the price scared off a few people, many people still bought some because of the taste. Some people also liked the free kimchi, which came in a variety of varieties and tasted fresh and appetizing.

Ji Jiashu was just a tool today, helping Tong Xiayue pack the food, wrapping all the food in oil paper and handing it to the customers.

Tong Xiayue told the customers while collecting money: "I will come again tomorrow. If you think it's delicious and want to buy more, remember to bring a jar or lunch box tomorrow and I will give you some broth. My broth is also very fragrant when poured on rice!"

Seeing that this young girl was very business-savvy despite her young age, everyone had a better impression of her.
