Wei Xuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Che, so she had to put down the dishes she was cleaning and sat down: "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Jiang Che cleared his throat: "You said you were going to give me a surprise, but this is not the one you were referring to, right?"
"Yeah. Are you blaming me for not discussing this with you in advance?"
Jiang Che shook his head. How could he dare to do that? Moreover, he secretly thought that his words yesterday had influenced his wife, which made her come up with the idea of helping him, which made him even more unreasonable.
On the other hand, he was actually quite conflicted about what his wife had just said, but then he changed his mind and thought that his wife, a woman, was willing to sacrifice everything for him, so if he continued to be timid and hesitant, would he still be considered a man?
"Wife, I will help you pick up and deliver the goods from tomorrow."
Well, it’s better to let the wife go to such places less often. If something happens, he, as a grown man, can definitely handle it better than she.
I have to say this was a wonderful misunderstanding.
...
...
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Wei Xuan was very satisfied with his ability to understand the current situation.
A family should be together and in good order!
The next day, when Wei Xuan came home from get off work, she saw two pig's trotters and a pig's tongue that Jiang Che had brought back on the kitchen table.
There isn't much, but it's enough for the beginning. You can add some eggs to the stew and sell it together.
The pig's trotters and tongues were soaked in well water for processing later. Wei Xuan prepared to clean up dinner first.
Yesterday everyone was busy drinking, so there was a lot of leftovers. Wei Xuan weighed the amount and thought that some fried rice with eggs should be enough.
Take three eggs out of the jar and cut some green onions. Separate the egg yolk and egg white for scrambled egg fried rice, and stir the egg yolk directly into the rice. This way, the fried rice will be golden yellow and beautiful.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Xuan turned on the fire and fried the egg whites first, then poured the rice in and fried it until each grain was distinct. Salt and soy sauce had to be added in advance so that they could be fried evenly.
I picked up a spoon to test it and found it was just the right saltiness. I sprinkled the chopped green onions that I had prepared in advance and stir-fried it a few times before serving.
Just then, Jiang Che also arrived home.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. You'll be busy after dinner."
After dinner, the two of them got busy.
Just like last time, Jiang Che handled the pig's trotters and let her wash the pig's tongue.
Pig tongue is relatively easy to handle. Just wash it and blanch it in water, and the coating on it can be easily cleaned.
It's really hard for Jiang Che, his eyes are sore from plucking so much hair.
Wei Xuan felt that this was not a good idea. If she came once a day, would she have time to do anything else?
Finally, the two of them came up with a solution: they put the pig's trotters directly on the stove and burn them with fire, and then scrub the burnt areas clean with a brush.
Sure enough, this way it is much faster and saves a lot of trouble.
Braise the meat and turn the stove to the lowest heat. It will be just tender and well-seasoned by tomorrow morning. But you will have to trouble Jiang Che to get up in the middle of the night to peel the boiled eggs and put them in.
Before going to bed, Jiang Che and Wei Xuan sat cross-legged in the bedroom, discussing how much the braised food should be sold for.
Pig's trotters are cheaper than meat. Two pig's trotters only cost fifty cents from Angkor, and pig's tongue sixty cents. Wei Xuan decided to double the price on this basis. As for how much Wu Yun sold it for, she had no control over it.
Twice is not much, after all, the aniseed and charcoal also have costs.
Eggs were five cents each, and even if they were a little more expensive on the black market, they wouldn't be that much more expensive. Wei Xuan planned to sell them at one cent each, and she could earn fifty cents by selling ten eggs a day.
"Then we can earn 70 or 80 yuan a month. That's more than our combined salary."
Yes, the main thing is that it’s not difficult to make money.
Wei Xuan was also happy, but in order to prevent Jiang Che from getting too complacent, she still warned him, "Don't think too highly of yourself. If you can't sell it, it will be a waste of money." It would be bad to let Wu Yun take the risk.
"How could it be a waste?" Jiang Che said indifferently: "You made it so delicious, even if we can't sell it, we can still eat it ourselves."
Section 12
"Okay, go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow to make a delivery."
What neither of them expected was that braised food was more popular than they imagined, even Wu Yun was surprised.
That day, Jiang Che finished delivering the goods and was about to leave when Wu Yun grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."
Jiang Che had made a lot of money in the past two days and was in a good mood. When facing Wu Yun, his boss, his smile became even more sincere: "Brother Wu, if you have any problem, just let me know. I will do my best."
"Go away and stop talking nonsense." Seeing Jiang Che in high spirits because of the good news, Wu Yun couldn't help but envy this kid's luck. It was like he had married a gold nugget.
"Go back and ask your sister-in-law if you can add more braised food. Several old customers have come to ask about it recently. Don't worry about the meat. I can get it for you."
Jiang Che felt a bit embarrassed when he heard about this. It has been almost a month since he started making braised food. During this period, the number of pig's trotters has increased from two at the beginning to six now. He also needs at least thirty eggs every day, not to mention some other miscellaneous meats. It is really a lot when added together.
His wife said that this is the maximum amount of stuff that can be put into the jar, if more is put in, the taste will be bland.
But since Brother Wu had spoken, Jiang Che couldn't refuse outright.
He touched his chin and said slowly, "How about this, Brother Wu, I'll go back and ask my wife and see what she says."
With Jiang Che's words, Wu Yun felt relieved: "Okay, you must remember to ask, don't forget it."
"Hey, Brother Wu, don't worry, I won't delay your work. I'm going to work now, and I'm almost too late."
"Okay, go ahead."
Just like that, Jiang Che strolled into the office with a sweet burden.
When everyone in the office saw Jiang Che walking in with a smile on his face, they all joked, "Jiang Che, what happened to you these days that made you so happy? Tell us about it so we can be happy too. Are you going to get promoted?"
"Yeah, yeah, I've seen you snickering more than once."
Facing everyone's booing, Jiang Che quickly put away the smile on his face. He knew that everyone was testing him for the position of office director, and he was not happy. Who was he, Jiang Che? Could he be easily tricked by just any random person?
He straightened his sleeves leisurely and said in a familiar way: "I have only been working for a few months. It is impossible for me to get the position in terms of seniority. But Brother Wang is an old party member, so this is a great opportunity!"
Everyone knew that Jiang Che had a background, so normally no one in the office dared to mess with him. But this time it was a big work-related matter, so some people couldn't help but go to Jiang Che and say some nonsense.
The man called Brother Wang was one of them. But despite Jiang Che's polite words, he actually looked down on him in his heart. Logically speaking, at his age, he should have been promoted a long time ago. At his age, he was still an ordinary worker like him. Needless to say, he didn't have any special abilities.
However, Brother Wang did not hear the irony in Jiang Che's words. He thought that Jiang Che really had some inside information and that his words just now were a compliment to him in advance. He laughed out loud with joy.
Everyone in the office started talking about this topic. When Jiang Che saw that everyone's attention was diverted, he secretly reflected on himself, wondering if he had really been so emotional during this period. How come even his snickering was discovered?
During lunch, Brother Jiang found Jiang Che.
"I said, you've moved out for more than a month. Are you enjoying yourself out there? Why don't you come back to see your parents?"
Jiang Che felt a little embarrassed when Brother Jiang reminded him of this. He had been concentrating on making money recently and had forgotten about his parents.
"Brother, I understand. I will find a chance to go home to see my parents and have a meal in the next two days."
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Brother Jiang didn't say anything. "Remember, my parents have been talking about you, especially my mom, who is worried that you are suffering out there. Going back will also comfort them."
When Jiang Che got home from get off work in the evening, Wei Xuan was standing in the yard looking at the newly opened vegetable garden without moving.
"What are you looking at? Are you so mesmerized?"
Wei Xuan pointed at the spinach and Chinese cabbage and said, "Look, these two are almost grown and ready to eat."
Jiang Che glanced at it and really couldn't understand why his wife was so interested in cabbage, as meat was obviously the most delicious.
Not wanting to continue discussing this topic, he recalled Wu Ge's instructions in the morning and said, "By the way, Wu Ge stopped me this morning and asked me if I could send more goods."
Wei Xuan knew how popular her family's stewed food was recently, so she was not surprised at all that Brother Wu would find Jiang Che. It was only a matter of time. So she walked towards the kitchen and asked, "So what did you say?"
Jiang Che followed behind Wei Xuan: "What else can I say? Of course I told him what you told him." Halfway through his words, Jiang Che walked in front of Wei Xuan, supported himself on the table and asked: "I'm curious too, why don't you agree to cook more? If the stove is not enough, just buy another one." In Jiang Che's opinion, this was not a problem at all. It was obviously just an excuse that the young wife made up to perfunctorily deal with others.
Wei Xuan raised her eyelids and glared at him: "Are you short of money? Don't you think about how much we've earned just when our business started? It's better to keep a low profile at this time, otherwise what if the news gets out and we get caught as an example?"
"Hey, my wife, you are really thoughtful." Jiang Che was not angry even after being glared at, and he kept saying nice things as if they were free.
"Then I will go and reject Angkor tomorrow."
"Well," Ying Wan thought of something and continued, "But you can tell Wu Ge that I should have new food delivered to me in a while."
"Didn't you say that we should keep a low profile?" Jiang Che asked.
Being low-key is just Wei Xuan's excuse. The real reason is that Wei Xuan thinks that if there are too many of something, it will lose its value. She can make a profit from selling one jar of wine every day, and she is not tired. She wants to do this business for a long time, so it is better to take it slow and steady. As for expansion, it is not the right time yet.
As for the new food she mentioned, there won't be many, they are only available on certain days. I also need to prepare it at home, so I just make a little extra to earn some extra money.
