The main thing is the color; you can get it in the mountains.
Chen Yourun went to the mountains and brought back some natural stones, which he used to paint the designs on the cloth.
"Hmm, it's starting to look quite professional."
Then Chen Yourun wrote four characters below: "Liangfen Xishi" (凉粉西美).
In this day and age, a name plus this logo is basically enough.
The next day, Yin Lan took the cloth and twenty catties of braised food to the Jiqinglou restaurant. Manager Liu happily accepted them and gave her money.
I've already told him that the design and text should be fired onto the plate, and that we should use this orange color. It's not difficult at all; Manager Liu already knows people who do these things.
We agreed to make a hundred first, at thirty coins each, which is three taels of silver, quite a lot. However, these things are necessary, and they can be sold later, so it doesn't matter.
On the first day, Jiqinglou didn't use this plate; it was their own porcelain white plate. Anyway, it was the first day, and they didn't expect business to be very good.
Yin Lan and Chen Yourun watched for a while. At midday, most people went to Yinhelou for lunch, and only a few people occasionally went into Jiqinglou.
However, someone nearby recognized Yin Lan. Mainly because she was good-looking, and there was also a tall, strong, and equally handsome man next to her, making it hard for anyone to forget her.
The customer had bought pig offal yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see me today, only to find out that there was no offal available today.
"Only Jiqinglou has it today, but the price is a bit higher. If you're not in a hurry to buy, we'll be selling it in a few days. I just wanted to look at the shop today."
The man hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "It's alright. My elders at home like to eat this, so I need to go buy some. But shops seem to be hard to find these days. You guys go and take a look. I heard someone say that some are going to sell it. I'll go and ask when I have time."
Yin Lan was naturally grateful.
The man went to Jiqinglou Restaurant, and then invited several other people to go there to buy things.
Business seems to be a little bit better than before.
Then Chen Yourun and I went to the street to look at shops. There were quite a few preludes to the transfer, but what they needed first was that the shop didn't need to be too big, because the high price of shops was due to their size and location.
The location requirements aren't high either, since they rely on word-of-mouth marketing; they just need a small courtyard where they can cook in the kitchen.
After looking all day, I couldn't find anything suitable. Either the storefront was too big, or the rent was too expensive. And the suitable ones didn't have a small courtyard in the back.
However, there was no need to rush this matter, and the two of them drove the oxcart back to Tiejian Village.
Chen Yourun went to inquire about slaughterhouses outside, and found that the pork on the market was all slaughtered at slaughterhouses designated by the government.
Pig offal, on the other hand, doesn't fetch much of a price and is usually thrown away or sold to ordinary people at extremely low prices. Generally, people won't buy it unless they really can't afford meat. As for the smell, the pig intestines are full of excrement, dirty and smelly, and nobody wants them.
Only when the family is really broke, and their own child is producing meat, will they buy some to take home. Even so, there aren't many people buying it.
So when the customer learned that a big spender had come and wanted to buy all the pig offal, he could hardly believe it. Only after Chen Yourun confirmed it several times did the customer happily agree and agree on a price.
Ten catties cost ten coins, which is very cheap. Firstly, because this place is far away, ordinary people would never come here. Secondly, when villagers slaughter pigs, there are still people who want the offal, but there is just too much offal, and they can't sell it all.
Chen Yourun negotiated with the other party, who even agreed to deliver the goods. They were originally going to deliver the pork to another place anyway, so delivering it to Tiejian Village wouldn't be a problem. The most important thing was that they didn't have to hand over the money, so it was like getting it for free. Naturally, they readily agreed.
This was somewhat unexpected for Yin Lan, and she was naturally pleased. It would be best if it could save her trouble.
So the next day, just as dawn was breaking in the village, some early risers saw a large oxcart coming into the village, piled high with goods.
The villagers rubbed their eyes in astonishment, wondering what it was, and then watched as the oxcart went to Yin Lan's small courtyard.
A full 100 jin of pig offal has been delivered first; the rest will arrive later.
The things were temporarily piled up inside the small hut.
Now, there were more than just a few people in need. The third son's wife simply shouted, and many women came to the door.
These people had all heard about the time they went to Yin Lan's place to wash pig offal. It was a simple job with little work and lots of money!
Everyone was quite envious, and now that they had the chance, they were naturally very eager to participate.
The third son's wife now knows how to choose a husband; she chooses those who are conscientious, responsible, and meticulous in their work, and there are naturally many such women in the village. She could easily pick twenty.
Fortunately, there was a large enough open space outside Yin Lan's courtyard to fit all the basins.
Today we washed 100 jin (50 kg) of water. More than 20 women washed 4-5 jin (2-2.5 kg) each, and everyone was full of energy.
Four catties is twenty coins, five catties is twenty coins, it's practically picking up money!
One hundred catties of pig offal were prepared, and Yin Lan, Chen Yourun, and Da Wa, whom they had been longing to meet for a long time, went to the county town together.
The two people ahead of them had already found a shop and paid the deposit. Today, they paid the remaining balance and could use the shop immediately. They had already inspected it; it was clean and tidy, and there were even some tables provided free of charge, which they could use right away.
Of the 100 jin of pig offal, 30 jin were sent to Jiqinglou, and Yinlan plans to sell the remaining 70 jin herself today.
There was quite a lot of stuff. The two of them set off early, and when they arrived at Jiqinglou, it was only just past dawn. When they saw them arrive, Manager Liu hurriedly greeted them. In reality, it was just a delivery, and as the manager, he didn't need to come in person; he could have had his employees do it.
It was simply because yesterday's revenue had truly surprised Manager Liu.
While Yin Lan and the others were looking around outside, there were already quite a few people at Jiqinglou. Later, after Yin Lan and Chen Yourun left, Manager Liu followed Yin Lan's method and sent a small dish to each table as a taste of the new food.
Unexpectedly, after the items were delivered, about 80-90% of the customers placed another order.
Later that evening, word spread that the free samples of braised food offered by Jiqinglou were absolutely amazing, and many people came to try them.
