Upon arriving at the father and son's side, Su Yun'er first bowed before asking questions.
"Young man, may I ask where you bought this string of candied hawthorns?"
"Oh? Is there something you need, madam?" the man returned the greeting and asked.
"I'm just curious where this food came from, and I want to buy one for my kids to try."
"Oh, this is from Lingyuelou at the intersection ahead."
"Thank you, my lord."
After thanking the man, Su Yun'er continued walking in the direction he pointed.
Lingyue Tower was at the end of Lingque Street. Su Yun'er wasn't in a hurry to go there immediately, so she took out her candied balls and candied hawthorns to sell.
Compared to the previous two days, the sales speed slowed down, but it still sold out smoothly.
When they finally saw Lingyue Tower, all that was left in the basket were some sugar crumbs from the candy balls.
Su Yun'er tidied up her basket and pretended to be an ordinary woman out shopping. She stood in front of a stall, pretending to examine the items, but she could clearly see Lingyue Tower.
She noticed a sign at the entrance of Lingyue Tower that read:
[New Product - Candied Hawthorn Berries, priced at 10 coins per skewer]
"It's priced the same as mine. But it's obvious that the product quality is inferior. As for the taste, the sugar coating is thin and some of the fruit is rotten, so it will definitely be a compromise."
After observing for a while, Su Yun'er felt a little relieved.
However, we cannot let our guard down.
If competitors emerge, your market share and users will definitely be taken away.
Product optimization needs to be put on the agenda.
As she walked and pondered, Su Yun'er unknowingly arrived at the meat stall where she had bought meat before.
The butcher was standing outside his stall, calling out to passersby as he sold his meat when he saw Su Yun'er walking towards him, head down in thought.
"What are you thinking about, my wife?"
Startled by the sudden, unexpected sound, Su Yun'er almost jumped up in fright.
"Ah! Oh, it's you, boss. I was so engrossed in thinking that I was startled when you suddenly spoke." Su Yun'er patted her chest, still shaken.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I was being reckless. Please forgive me, young lady." The butcher's face was full of apology.
"No, no, how's business today, boss?" Su Yun'er quickly changed the subject.
"So-so," the boss said with a simple smile.
"Why aren't you coming in to do business? What are you doing out there grinning like an idiot!"
A woman with a headscarf on her head felt a pang of jealousy when she saw her husband talking to a pretty young woman.
The butcher seemed to be henpecked as well. He waved apologetically to Su Yun'er, smiled, and went into his stall to continue hawking his wares.
The proprietress glanced at Su Yun'er, then picked up the bowl of pig intestines, pig stomach, and pig trotters in her hand and was about to dump it into a bamboo basket used for garbage.
Upon seeing this, Su Yun'er immediately rushed forward.
"Wait a minute, madam!" Su Yun'er startled the proprietress, who smiled apologetically and continued, "If you don't want this, madam, why don't you give it to me?"
"You want this?" The proprietress was first startled, then puzzled.
She thought for a moment, then said knowingly, "Oh, right? You were the one who ordered a piece of pork fat last time?"
"Yes." Su Yun'er nodded, then continued to look at the intestines, pig stomach, and several pig trotters.
A foul stench wafted from the basin, and Su Yun'er covered her nose because of it.
"This thing is dirty and smelly, why do you want it?" the proprietress asked, puzzled.
"It is indeed filthy, but even filthy things have their uses. My wife doesn't want it anyway, and it's too much trouble for you to deal with it yourselves, so why not give it to me?"
Although the proprietress didn't particularly like Su Yun'er, Su Yun'er was right.
This smelly stuff won't sell for any money, and we'll have to carry it away and throw it away ourselves. Since she wants it, let her take it.
And we should get rid of her quickly, so she won't be flirting with her husband, which is annoying to watch.
"Alright then, if you want it, take it."
Su Yun'er thanked them, found some large leaves and papers, carefully packed the pile of things, and took them away.
This pile of stuff was not only very heavy, but also very smelly, especially since it contained a lot of things inside its intestines! So wherever Su Yun'er walked, passersby all covered their noses in disgust, and because there were so many people, they couldn't tell where the smell was coming from.
With a blank expression, Su Yun'er found a corner where no one was paying attention and quickly threw the pile of pig offal into her spatial storage.
They then washed the basket containing the wastewater with the spring water, and the stench finally disappeared.
After finishing everything, Su Yun'er returned home feeling refreshed.
The candied hawthorns and candied berries she took out today were all sold out. After emptying the copper coins into the wooden box and storing them away, Su Yun'er began to clean up the pile of waste she had brought back.
That pile of sewage was so smelly that the grass playing in the yard could smell it as soon as it was taken out of the space.
She immediately covered her nose, looking displeased: "Brother, did you fart?"
"What? I didn't! You're the one who's talking nonsense."
"Why does it smell so bad? Did Grandma fart?" Xiaocao turned to ask Grandma Chen, who was sewing clothes.
Grandma Chen playfully flicked Xiaocao's head, feigning anger: "You brat, how dare you slander your grandma."
Hearing the three people in the courtyard searching for the "source of the fart," Su Yun'er quickly took the pile of waste back to her space.
Inside the space, Su Yun'er found a large basin, soaked the waste in it, and began preparing to clean it.
Su Yun'er hadn't had a chance to look closely at the market before, but now she discovered that there were not only pig stomach, intestines, and trotters, but also pig tongue and liver. It was a huge pile, and after sorting and preparing them, it would be enough for the family of four to eat for a long time.
Pig tongue and intestines can be braised, pig liver can be stir-fried, pig trotters can be braised or stewed, and pig stomach can be stewed with chicken in a peppery chicken soup. Whether you're drinking the soup or using it in a hot pot, it's all extremely delicious.
Just thinking about it made Su Yun'er's mouth water.
While planning how to eat it, Su Yun'er used the spiritual spring water to wash away the various filth attached to the sewage.
Then she poured flour, vinegar, and salt on it and rubbed it repeatedly, changing the water countless times, before Su Yun'er felt the stench was gone.
After confirming that everything was clean, Su Yun'er took the pile of waste back to the kitchen.
Wash the large pot and fill it with spring water. Put knotted scallions, ginger slices, star anise and cooking wine into the cold water, and then put everything except the pig liver into the pot to blanch.
After everything was packed up, Su Yun'er kept only some of the pig intestines and tongues, and stored the rest in her spatial storage.
Start a new pot and use cooking wine, ginger, soy sauce, rock sugar, star anise, bay leaves, and other spices you have on hand to braise the remaining pig intestines and tongue.
Soon, the aroma of braised meat wafted out.
Someone walking past the Chen family's house smelled the odor and was quite surprised.
"It seems Shanhe's wife has made money; she's even eating meat again. I have to go check on her."
