"Sister Ying, your brother-in-law's concerns are very reasonable. After all, anyone can sell vegetables, and you don't have much advantage over others. With a group of old customers, you will definitely be able to continue in the short term, but in the long run, the money you earn will only get less and less." Jianshu spoke slowly.
Li Yuying is not a fool, and of course she understands that the less competition, the more money you can make.
"Well, I'm a little worried that selling food won't last long. I'm not sure how much I can sell. At least selling vegetables gives me a stable income."
"What does my brother-in-law plan to sell?" Jianshu goes straight to the point.
To put it bluntly, selling food isn't about fancy things; the most important thing is the craftsmanship. If the food is delicious, people will buy it. If the craftsmanship isn't good, no matter how cheap you sell it, people won't buy it.
Li Yuying: "His grandfather used to be a chef and was very skilled, but unfortunately he passed away early. My father-in-law didn't learn much of the skills and passed them on to him before he passed them on to him."
"But there are a few cookbooks and recipes at home. Maybe he inherited his grandfather's talent, and he slowly studied and honed his skills. This time he plans to try his hand at braised food. This only requires preparing the marinade ingredients, boiling the broth, and then slowly braising it. He can take care of it alone."
The best thing about selling braised food is that you can prepare it at home in advance and then just push the stall to sell it. If you change to other dishes that need to be made on the spot, it is not necessarily possible to make them all with a large number of people, as it is too easy to get confused by yourself.
"No matter what, cooking is all about taste. As long as the craftsmanship is good, people will always buy it even if the price is a bit high. Sister Ying, if you don't mind, you can ask your brother-in-law to braise some and we can help test it. If it tastes good, we can also help promote it later."
"That's right, Sister Ying, you can also ask your brother-in-law to sell it near our school. There are so many students in our school, and there are always some who don't like the school food. They occasionally go to state-owned restaurants to eat. If the food tastes good, they will definitely be willing to buy it." Wei Ye also nodded.
Zhou Yanan smiled and said, "There are quite a few locals in our dormitory. As long as the food tastes good, there is no need to worry about not having customers."
With everyone saying so, Li Yuying certainly couldn't hesitate any longer. Ultimately, it wasn't that she didn't want to do other business, she was just worried about not being able to do it well.
"Okay, this holiday I'll have him make some of each for you to try. I'm used to eating them and can't tell the difference, so please give me your suggestions. If it works, I'll take care of all the braised food for everyone from now on!"
"Sister Ying is so generous!" Everyone cheered.
…
Li Yuying went back home with great anticipation over the weekend. After telling her husband about this, the two of them got busy. Since they were planning to start this business, they had to prepare the dishes in advance, including both meat and vegetables.
Fortunately, they used to be selling vegetables, so they had a lot of supplies and it was much easier to prepare ingredients.
Gao Wei has collected a lot of marinade ingredients and brought them all with him when he moved.
Everything is ready, let’s get started.
The aroma of the stew is so strong that it can be smelled from miles away.
The aroma had been there since early morning. Children on holiday had forgotten to play and gathered at the Gao family's door, drooling.
Not only the children are greedy, but the adults are also greedy. However, they have to have some shame and don't dare to go to the door.
At lunch time, everyone felt even hungrier when they smelled the fragrance.
Li Yuying doesn’t know all this yet, otherwise she wouldn’t be so nervous.
On the weekend night, we returned to the dormitory with bags and bags. The braised food was still warm. We went to the cafeteria to get a few meals and ate them with great pleasure.
"I love this braised dried tofu. I always feel it's not flavorful enough when fried, with a strong bean smell. I didn't expect it to be so delicious when braised!"
"I love braised meat. With a little bit of marinade, I can eat two big bowls of rice!"
"Isn't duck neck the most delicious? I used to eat duck meat, but this is the first time I think duck neck is even better than duck meat!"
"Go ahead and fight over it. I think they're all delicious. Sister Ying, give me another spoonful of the marinade!"
“…”
A group of people were vying to discuss what was delicious, and everyone had a slightly different favorite.
But to sum up, there is only one meaning:
"Sister Ying, let your brother-in-law sell braised food!" Wei Ye's eyes were bright.
With such delicious food, they're sure to have a lot of business. Besides, how could they eat alone? Of course, when you have something delicious, you have to share it with everyone!
"Is it really that delicious?" Li Yuying was used to eating it and thought it was normal.
Jianshu slowly finished chewing a duck neck, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister Ying, I'll order two pounds of braised meat, two duck necks, five duck heads, and two pounds of vegetables. I'll take them back for a snack on Friday night."
Although she can make it herself, it is quite troublesome. It is much more convenient to buy it in the store on weekdays when she is lazy.
Others quickly raised their hands, "We want one too."
Wei Ye: "Sister Ying, I want to buy some to take back during the Chinese New Year. My brother-in-law's cooking skills are much better than what we make ourselves."
Everyone was very supportive, and Li Yuying's somewhat uneasy heart finally settled down.
He smiled and said, "No need to buy. Didn't I tell you before? I'll buy all your braised food."
"That's different. We plan to take these back for our family to try. They are a token of our appreciation, and we can't let you treat us." Jian Shu declined with a smile.
Braised food is not cheap. Meat is expensive and the cost of spices is also high. If I really give them all to them, that day's work will be in vain.
We are not that shameless. It is okay to eat some local specialties brought by roommates occasionally, but we still have to pay for the things they want to sell.
"this……"
Before Li Yuying could finish, Jian Shu took out two yuan and stuffed it into her hand. "This is the deposit. I'll give you the rest after your price is determined."
Zhao Yueling followed suit and made quite a few reservations as well.
Others also asked for some more or less, as a way of supporting their friends' business.
Looking at the money in her hand, both in small and large amounts, Li Yuying felt a little amused and helpless.
My heart felt warm. "Then I'll accept it first. I'll go back tomorrow and let my husband prepare it. We'll try to open the stall this week."
"Sister Ying, where do you plan to set up your stall? How about coming to our school? There are many people here, so business will definitely be good. We can also help with promotion." Wei Ye asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, there are several stalls at the back door of our school, aren't there? They sell pancakes and rice, but there's no one selling braised food. If my brother-in-law comes to sell it, there will definitely be people willing to buy it."
A group of people helped to come up with ideas.
Jianshu was chewing on duck neck and giving two suggestions from time to time.
After all, you can’t just eat and not work!
