Wan Shu was completely unaware of the bizarre things that happened because of the braised food recipe.
The sun rises in the east.
As the sun rose, Uncle Erniu escorted Wan Shu and the other three to Sishui County.
Because of the crayfish purchase, Uncle Erniu's family earned another twenty or so copper coins from Wan Shu last night.
Therefore, Uncle Erniu was even more enthusiastic towards Wan Shu and the others today.
He picked up both large wooden buckets by himself, one in each hand, and walked towards the spot where he had set up his stall yesterday.
Firstly, it's because the location he chose for his stall yesterday was indeed excellent, with a particularly high volume of foot traffic.
Secondly, he thought that if everyone set up their stalls in one location, it would be easier for Wan Shu to accumulate regular customers.
Before they could even walk over, they discovered that several people were already standing at yesterday's stall.
Men, women, young and old were all present, and everyone looked indignant, as if they were fighting over something.
"These people must have seen how well your stall did yesterday, so they all came to grab this spot!"
Uncle Erniu was furious: "These cunning people absolutely cannot be allowed to succeed and give up such a good position to them!"
As he spoke, Uncle Erniu wanted to step forward and argue with these people.
Seeing this, Wan Shu quickly stopped him.
"Uncle Erniu, don't be like that. These stalls are free and first-come, first-served. Since they arrived first, they should belong to them."
"Besides, good wine needs no bush. Even if we change locations, I'm not worried about not having business. There's no need to go to such great lengths for a location; it's not worth it."
Uncle Erniu thought about it and realized that it made sense.
"Alright, since you've said so, rich lady, let's change seats."
As they turned to leave, a group of people arguing at a nearby stall suddenly noticed their presence.
The moment they saw Wan Shu, the group immediately stopped arguing and quickly walked towards her.
What's going on? Could it be that these people, like Aunt Zhao's family, have their eyes on this business opportunity and want to swindle or steal her braising recipe?
Wan Shu's expression darkened slightly as he pondered how to respond, when he heard several people excitedly say something.
"Young lady, you've finally arrived! Quickly, bring me three catties of pig offal! I've never eaten such delicious pig offal before. I've been thinking about it all night, and it's kept me up all night!"
"Get the hell out of my way! I was first in line! It's my turn to buy first!"
"You two get out of my way, don't keep me from buying crayfish!"
"Young lady, I also want some crayfish. Are you still giving away crayfish today? If you are, I'll buy a pound."
Uncle Erniu, along with Dazhu, Sanshun, and Siya, were all stunned.
They never expected that these people weren't there to fight for the stall, but to queue up to buy braised food, and they even started arguing about the order of purchase!
Wan Shu was also somewhat surprised that braised food would be so popular.
"Please be patient, everyone. We have prepared a lot of offal and crayfish today, so whether you buy now or later, there will definitely be enough for you!"
Wan Shu smiled and quickly called to her three children, setting up the stall as fast as possible.
She looked at the customer who was particularly interested in crayfish.
"Today is the second day of opening. The promotional gift event has ended. We will no longer give away crayfish with the purchase of pork offal. However, crayfish can be purchased separately, and the price is the same as that of pork offal, 40 yuan per catty."
"What?! You're not delivering anymore, and you're going to sell it for 40 coins a pound!"
"Hiss, all the offal is edible, and you can sell it for forty coins a pound, but those crayfish, more than half of a pound is shell, and you still dare to sell them at that price!"
"Young lady, I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless. I'm not buying it!"
"I'm not buying it either!"
Two customers stormed off in anger.
Seeing this, Wan Shu was not in a hurry.
She had anticipated losing some customers by canceling the promotional giveaway.
The reason she gave away crayfish as a free gift yesterday was to help promote pig offal and build a reputation for her family's braised food.
Now that we've already built a good reputation, there's no need to give them away anymore.
After all, both buying and processing crayfish require considerable costs, and a business that loses money to gain publicity cannot last long, so Wan Shu was unwilling to do it.
Moreover, she believes that with yesterday's groundwork laid, even if she stops giving away crayfish, there will still be plenty of people willing to buy her braised food.
"Tch—those two are too funny. The young lady said yesterday that it was only given away with yesterday's purchase, not that it would be given away indefinitely. Why are they so angry?"
"Those two are obviously greedy. Such delicious pork offal, even if nothing else is given away, 40 coins a pound is a great deal."
"That's right! Young lady, forget about those people, hurry up and weigh out three catties for me, I want more pig intestines!"
"Give me three jin too, I want more of the pig's belly."
The customer who was only interested in crayfish from the beginning placed a large order.
"These crayfish have a truly unique flavor. My grandson is having his one-month celebration today, so please weigh out twenty catties for me and I'll take them back for my relatives and friends to try!"
At 40 wen per jin, 20 jin would be 800 wen, which is almost a tael of silver.
When Wan Shu wrapped up the crayfish and handed it to the customer, he generously gave an extra pound of braised food as a one-month celebration gift for the customer's grandson.
The items were few, but they made the customer feel very comfortable.
He smiled, waved his hand again, and asked for another ten catties of pig offal.
"Twenty catties of crayfish cost eight hundred coins, and ten catties of pork offal cost four hundred coins. With just this one customer, she actually made one tael and two qian!"
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin next door did some calculations, and their eyes revealed jealousy and resentment.
"Damn it! How come she can earn so much money in one go, while we work hard all day making pancakes and only earn less than 200 coins!"
Uncle Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should just stop selling sesame cakes and start selling pig offal and bloodworms instead."
Aunt Lin curled her lip: "You make it sound so easy. We've cooked pig offal before, and it always turns out awful. If she can make this business, she must have a secret recipe."
"The secret recipe? That's easy." Uncle Lin whispered a few words in Aunt Lin's ear, and Aunt Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
She took out forty copper coins, changed her previous cold attitude towards Wan Shu and the others, walked up to Wan Shu's stall, and spoke with a smile.
"Your braised dishes smell really good. Give me half a pound of each to try."
Aunt Lin's change in attitude was truly drastic.
Sam-soon first looked at her suspiciously, then a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to refuse, Wan-shu suddenly spoke up.
"San Shun, since your aunt wants to try it, could you please weigh out some of each item for her?"
