Chapter 45 Sweet and spicy, really delicious!
The brine time for pig offal is relatively short, otherwise the food will be overcooked, while the brine time for duck goods is relatively longer.
When brine was being brine, she found that Lu Hai also gave some duck heads this time, which was just what she wanted. She could now imagine how popular her business would be the next day!
At noon, the Ji family came back. Tong Xiayue asked Wang Xiaojun to have dinner with her, but he refused, saying that his family was waiting for him to go back for dinner.
Tong Xiayue did not try to persuade him to stay, but just packed a lunch box with brine for him to take back. Wang Xiaojun refused to accept it. This big box would cost at least two yuan if sold outside!
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "You have done so much for me. Take these back and let your parents taste them. Just say I made them as a reward for your help today."
Wang Xiaojun still couldn't convince Tong Xiayue in the end, so he could only accept them with a shameless face.
During the meal, Ji Jiashu kept picking up food for Tong Xiayue, fearing that she would be hungry.
Ji Jiashu: "How is your day? I see you brought back so many goods, can you handle it? How about I stay home to help you in the afternoon?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "No, I've done it. I'm not tired today. Wang Xiaojun has done most of it for me. I just need to put it in the pot and cook it. I have to compliment you. You found a good helper for me this time."
Ji Jiashu felt sour in his heart when he heard his wife praising other men like this, even if he was his own brother. He just lowered his head to eat and didn't say anything else.
Tong Xiayue looked at Ye Lan and said, "Mom, we got more goods today, and all the profits have been taken. Fortunately, you left the money with me yesterday, otherwise it would be difficult to turn it over. I think it would be better if you leave the money with me now. I will calculate how much net profit is every month, and then keep a part of it as a reserve fund, and give the rest to you for household use."
Tong Xiayue's words were impeccable. She was working so hard for the family, so everyone naturally agreed.
Seeing how hard Tong Xiayue was working every day, everyone felt more guilty about her and just wanted to treat her better.
But Ji Zhiyong was still a little worried that they were taking advantage of policy loopholes and were afraid that they would encounter trouble in the future.
After dinner, Tong Xiayue started talking to Ji Zhiyong while everyone was still there: "Dad, I saw a lot of people starting to trade in the town these days, but everyone is fighting guerrilla warfare and they won't stay in the same place all the time. Do you officers know the situation during the meeting?"
Ji Zhiyong looked at Tong Xiayue. This girl was not as ignorant as those girls in the village. His daughter-in-law was more outstanding than other girls of the same age in terms of courage and vision!
"Have you noticed? Now the national policy has begun to relax. We have heard that as long as they do not commit crimes, private businesses that are conducive to the development of villagers will be turned a blind eye. It is estimated that the economy will be liberalized in less than two years, but now you still have to be careful not to expand. Small transactions are not a big problem."
Ji Zhiyong's words also gave Tong Xiayue a reassurance, so that she can relax a little, otherwise she will always worry that what she is doing now will affect Ji Zhiyong's work.
This morning in the town, they also sold the wild goods and the wild rabbit they picked in the mountains yesterday. This did not make much money, only two yuan, but in Wang Xiaojun's eyes, this was also a considerable expense.
So in the afternoon, Wang Xiaojun went to the mountains to prepare to get some more wild goods. Today, seeing that wild vegetables really couldn't be sold at a high price and they took up space, he thought about catching more pheasants and rabbits, which could be sold at a higher price.
Men are naturally sharp and energetic, which women can't match. In a short while, they caught two pheasants and three rabbits.
At noon, when he brought the salt that Tong Xiayue gave him back to cook, his parents saw it and praised Jiashu's wife for being sensible. After eating, they praised her cooking skills and said that Ji Jiashu was lucky to marry such a good wife. Then they urged Wang Xiaojun to get married quickly.
After returning from the mountains, he went to work in the fields again. He was also a capable man. He finished almost all the work for the next day in one afternoon.
His parents were still wondering why this kid, who used to be lazy, would rush to work now. Wang Xiaojun still used Ji Jiashu's help to get away with it.
Not long after lunch, the duck goods were also salted. Tong Xiayue took the things out and gnawed a piece of duck neck to taste it.
This recipe is awesome, and it tastes the same every time!
Sweet and spicy, very tasty!
After the work was done, she rested for a while, thinking that she could go to the black market the next day to see if Brother Wang was coming. She had to prepare some "wild goods" to bring over, and by the way, see if he had found the book that he had promised to buy. It was
okay if she didn't go up the mountain, and it wouldn't be a big problem to get some from the space.
The next day, before dawn, Wang Xiaojun arrived early. Ji Jiashu also got up and loaded the goods onto the tricycle.
The two did not go to the vegetable market this time, but went to a school not far from the vegetable market. After the stall was set up, Tong Xiayue packed a portion of duck neck and asked Wang Xiaojun to send it to an apple seller near the vegetable market. Please tell the old customers that they have moved to a place near the school. The
apple seller has been setting up a stall with Tong Xiayue for several days. He knows that the things she makes are delicious, but expensive. Now seeing that he gave her a small box, he must be very happy to help.
When Wang Xiaojun rushed back to the stall, he saw Tong Xiayue was already busy. There were many people around the stall buying things. Some people were attracted by the smell, but they were waiting to see after hearing the price.
"Girl, why did you change the stall today? I just went over there and there was no one there. It was the apple seller next to me who told me that you moved here." An older sister who bought salty food yesterday said. "Big sister,
we can only change the stall every two days. It's okay. If I change the stall, I'll let someone tell you." Tong Xiayue smiled.
Big sister: "What's new today? Which one tastes good?"
Tong Xiayue: "How about you try it? You can only try some duck necks. The other duck products all taste the same, and it's not easy for me to cut them. Although the taste is the same, the texture is different. It's a great side dish!"
Tong Xiayue took out a small piece of duck neck and handed it to the big sister.
Big sister: "It's sweet and spicy, and it's really delicious. Girl, your cooking skills are really amazing. How much is a pound of duck products? I haven't seen this method before. Buy it back and try it."
Tong Xiayue: "Duck products are more expensive when I buy them, and I've wasted a lot of time. I'll sell them to you for 1.5 yuan a pound."
The big sister was stunned when she heard the price. It was indeed expensive, but it was delicious. I just took a bite and the fragrance is still lingering in my mouth.
The eldest sister said: "Give me a pound of
duck goods, and take it back to give to my husband to drink." The first order of duck goods was completed!
Soon, some old customers came one after another, and some new customers who were just waiting and watching saw that the goods were about to be sold out, so they quickly placed orders.
As expected, there were a lot more things today, but they were all sold out. The main reason was that Tong Xiayue was generous and gave everyone a large portion. Of course, everyone liked such a boss, and there were many regular customers.
Wang Xiaojun also sold out all the pheasants and rabbits he brought with him. Each pheasant cost one yuan, and each rabbit cost two yuan, and he earned a total of six yuan.
