Chapter 118 New Shop
The guest drank half the glass in one breath.
He exhaled a large breath of air comfortably.
The guests who didn't want to drink mung bean soup and couldn't buy grilled sausages and potatoes and were about to leave were very greedy.
The four tables were filled in an instant.
They all share tables.
"Boss, give me a cup too."
"Me too, I want two cups, the coldest ones."
"Okay, sir, I'll bring it to you right away. Sir, our mung bean soup can only be drunk in the shop and cannot be taken away. So, I'll add one cent and I'll give it to you in the bamboo tube. What do you think?"
Although the bamboo tubes are free, they are cut from the mountains.
But the edges of each bamboo tube have been polished so that it won’t prick your mouth.
It also took a lot of effort.
How can it be given away for free?
"Okay, okay, it's just one cent, it's okay, go get it."
The guest who wanted to take away the food waved his hand.
Said nonchalantly.
"Row."
Zhang Jinlan turned around, lifted the curtain and went to the yard.
Jiang Dahe was still welcoming guests at the door.
There were only four tables in total, and all of them were full.
So if you want to drink mung bean soup, you can only queue outside.
"Mom, this mung bean soup with ice cubes is so refreshing to drink."
As soon as she returned to the yard, her second son said to her.
The loudmouthed Sun Pingmei has already told Jiang Eryong about the ice cubes.
"Drink more and watch your mouth."
Zhang Jinlan didn't say much. She was busy preparing four cups of mung bean soup and went to the front.
We were busy until the end of noon and all the ice was used up.
The mung beans we brought were also sold out.
The shop closed early.
So much so that when we got home, the sun was still hanging in the sky.
"The shop doesn't have enough stuff to sell. Think about what you can add. If you keep doing this, you'll easily offend your customers."
Sitting in the courtyard.
Zhang Jinlan asked loudly while holding her granddaughter.
"Mom, why don't we sell tea eggs? I heard that the dignitaries in the imperial city eat tea eggs in the morning." Jiang Eryong suggested.
"You stupid ass, how much is tea and how much is the egg? Do you want to sell tea at the price of eggs, or do you want to sell eggs at the price of tea?"
Jiang Shoujia crossed his legs and glared at his second son.
That look seemed like he was looking at a fool.
"Hehe, I forgot about this. We don't have tea trees here. Otherwise, we can go to the mountains to pick tea leaves and fry them so we don't have to spend money to buy them."
Jiang Eryong touched the back of his head.
A silly smile.
"You are really stupid. Why are you selling tea eggs when you already have tea trees? Second brother, why don't we just sell tea leaves?"
Jiang Siyin was also speechless.
It seems that all of his father's cleverness was passed on to him, without his older brothers and sisters getting any of it.
"You little bastard, you dare to call me stupid? Believe it or not, I will beat you up."
Jiang Eryong clenched his fists.
Baring her teeth, she pretended to threaten him.
Jiang Siyin picked up the bench and moved closer to his father.
He closed his mouth.
Although he was bullied by children in the village when he was a child, his eldest and second brothers would help him fight back.
But his two brothers really beat him.
They were born from the same mother, but he is the only one who is powerless.
No one can beat him.
Fortunately, he is the most handsome, so his parents love him the most.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siyin, who was originally indignant, suddenly felt relieved.
He waved to Jiang Fubao and said, "My dear daughter, come to your father."
"Here I come——" Jiang Fubao climbed down from grandma's legs and ran towards his father with his short legs.
The flesh on her face swayed, which melted Jiang Siyin's heart.
"Ah wu——"
After Jiang Siyin picked up his daughter, he sucked her cheek like he was eating a glutinous rice ball.
Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes.
If I had known earlier I wouldn't have come.
"Don't make your daughter blush. She already has three children, but she's still so unstable."
Zhang Yanzi slapped her husband hard on the back.
Jiang Siyin's tears burst out instantly.
"Wife, you hit me--"
His lips trembled.
His eyes were slightly red, and Jiang Fubao was afraid that he would cry endlessly.
Use your fleshy fingers to insert into daddy's nostrils.
Jiang Siyin, unable to breathe, had to hold back his tears.
"Well, Fubao, what are you doing?" Jiang Siyin lowered his head and took his daughter's hand, his eyes full of confusion.
"Daddy, be careful that grandpa will scold you."
Jiang Fubao turned his father's head towards grandpa and said.
"Ahem, okay, stop messing around and think about what to add to the shop." Jiang Shoujia knocked on the bench to save face.
Jiang Siyin completely forgot what had just happened.
"How about selling wild vegetable cakes?" Zhu Yingqiu suggested after a few seconds.
"Yes, it's good to sell vegetable cakes. They are fried with lard. We just happen to have eggs at home. We can knead the eggs into the dough and fry them with wild vegetables. They are delicious. How about selling them for three cents each? The same price as the mung bean soup."
Sun Pingmei agreed.
"No, ever since that incident in the mountains, no one in our village dares to go to the inner area. It's not appropriate to take risks for such a small amount of money. Besides, there is little rain and there are not many wild vegetables in the mountains. Who will go looking for them? You can't even dig up a basket of them if you spend that much time."
Jiang Shoujia shook his head.
disagree.
"Your father is right. Fine flour is so expensive. You have to put eggs in it and fry it with lard. It only costs three cents per piece. You can't make much money at all."
Unlike Jiang Shoujia, Zhang Jinlan only cares about profits.
How can you do a business that doesn't make money?
"Then why not just sell it at a higher price, replace the wild vegetables with meat! Fry it with lard, it's crispy and fragrant, and sell it for ten cents a piece! How about that? After all, this is a shop, not a stall, so it must be more expensive. Meat buns outside sell for five cents, but we have meat, oil, and eggs inside, so if we sell it for ten cents, there will definitely be people who will buy it."
Zhang Yanzi remained silent.
Open your mouth.
It’s the ultimate winner.
Zhang Jinlan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Yan Zi is right. Now that we have opened a shop, we should not always sell cheap food. Yamato and Eryong also know that none of the regular customers who come to our shop are poor. They can definitely afford ten cents.
But the taste...it has to be better than other restaurants, otherwise it will ruin our reputation. So, let's buy some meat tomorrow and try to make some when we get back to see if the seasonings given by the immortals can be used. I smell it's delicious. When the time comes, cut the meat into smaller pieces and marinate it with the seasonings for a while, it will definitely taste better."
Zhang Jinlan agreed to the proposal.
Jiang Shoujia didn't say anything and agreed.
I thought about it for another half an hour, but I couldn't come up with a better idea.
So, we decided on the egg meat pie proposed by Zhang Yanzi for the time being.
Jiang Fubao has eaten this kind of pancake in modern times.
As big as the face.
The freshly fried meat patties are crispy when you bite them, and there is not much meat inside.
It's a little spicy and a little salty, and it goes perfectly with the tasteless bread.
A pancake sells for eight yuan, and the owner of the meat pie shop boasted that he had earned enough money to buy three houses from these pancakes.
So Jiang Fubao remembers it very clearly.
That night, Jiang Fubao filled the empty basin in the kitchen with water and put it in the refrigerator.
He took the meat off the table and put it in a basin under the bed to thaw.
Because the aspic was so hard, the temperature in the house dropped a lot.
Jiang Fubao, who was originally feeling hot all over, slept very comfortably.
