She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys
Chapter 48: Capturing Guests' Stomachs
Among them was the old man who gave up his spot yesterday.
"Young man, I gave you the last bit yesterday. I was greedy for it for half the night. Now you can't take it all, no matter what you say. You have to leave some for us to taste."
"That's right. We all came here together. Even if you want to buy everything, you have to wait until we buy it!"
"I arrived earlier than you, so according to the order of arrival, I should be the first to buy." The person who spoke at this time was none other than the woman who brought her son to the street yesterday and whose son pestered her for food.
She bought the meat last night, originally just wanting everyone to have a rarity and taste it, but she didn't expect that after her mother-in-law and father-in-law tasted it, they ate half a bowl more rice than usual.
Especially her man who was reading, he was so intoxicated by the fragrance that he almost swallowed the bowl.
They also say that "it is rare to hear such a thing in this world."
He ate happily, and in the end only half a piece ended up in their son's mouth. If it weren't for some salted vegetables in it, there wouldn't be enough for him to share.
So, seeing that his son was studying hard and loved this dish, her father-in-law made a decision on the spot and asked her to buy ten more pieces today, one for each family member, regardless of age.
So the woman arrived early in the morning, waiting for Gu Qingqing to set up the stall.
Now that she heard that the man wanted to buy them all, she was naturally not happy. After all, a piece of her flesh was included in what he bought today.
Gu Qingqing also didn't want all the meat today to be bought by the steward of the Shen Mansion. She also hoped that more people would scratch their heads and think about it after eating her food.
In this way, when she goes to town to do business in the future, she will have a certain source of customers.
So Gu Qingqing smiled apologetically and said, "Manager Shen, I can't give you all three pots. How about buying just one pot? This pot of pure meat weighs ten kilograms. The weather is a little cool in the morning and evening now, but it shouldn't be left out for too long."
Manager Shen thought about it and felt that ten pounds of meat was enough, but there wouldn't be much left after two meals. After all, the Second Master would always bring a few brothers with him whenever he came back, and the Master would always prepare something for them.
"Just one basin, you will come tomorrow, right? Can you help me deliver it directly to the mansion?" said Steward Shen.
Gu Qingqing paused after hearing this, and she did not reply in a hurry, because according to her original intention, she came to the town to sell meat in order to digest the wild boar meat at home.
To do business, they have to wait until Wen Wuyan's leg is almost healed and his family moves to the town before they can open a store.
At the same time, her thoughts were working quickly. She had to buy pork if she wanted to make it tomorrow, and there was no brown sugar left at home.
However, she also asked about the price of brown sugar yesterday. Although the price is a bit expensive, fortunately she doesn't need much brown sugar to make a pound of shaobai. If it is calculated, three cents of brown sugar is enough for a pound of shaobai.
Including soy sauce and other expenses, a pound of shaobai can earn about 18 or 20 cents.
Ten jin is one hundred and eighty wen.
At that time, Wen Wuyan only earned thirty cents a day digging canals. Thinking about this, her current business is simply making huge profits.
Gu Qingqing thought it through and quickly agreed, "Of course you can, but yesterday and today we used wild boar meat from the mountains. If we make it again the day after tomorrow, we will need to buy pork. It may taste better, after all, wild boar meat is lean and tough."
Steward Shen nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Gu Qingqing had made it clear. Considering that he couldn't have this dish every meal, Steward Shen said, "Then you can send two kilograms directly to the Shen residence tomorrow. We'll taste it first. If it works, we'll let you make it later. Does the Shen residence know where it is?"
Gu Qingqing shook her head.
"Walk to the end of this street, turn right and ask around there and you'll find out." Manager Shen said as he took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing took the silver and said, "This one costs 450 coins. Yesterday you left me a deposit of 40 coins. Since you've returned the basin to me, I'll only charge you 410 coins for this one today."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she weighed the silver in her hand. Although she acted seriously, she actually had no idea how much this piece of silver was worth.
After satisfying her desire, she had no choice but to hand the silver to Wen Wuyan, giving him a questioning look.
Wen Wuyan smiled at her, took the silver and tossed it, then said with a smile, "Qingqing, Manager Shen has about half a tael of silver, worth five hundred coins, and we have to give him ninety coins in return."
As Wen Wuyan spoke, he took out a string of one hundred copper coins from the bamboo basket, took out ten and handed the rest to Gu Qingqing.
Manager Shen did not take the copper coins that Gu Qingqing handed over, but said, "I didn't bring a basin today, so you should bring one to me. These ninety coins will be used as a deposit and a down payment for tomorrow. Come back tomorrow to deliver the meat and we'll settle the bill together."
Gu Qingqing had no objection to this, so she handed the money to Wen Wuyan again.
After sending this big customer away, Gu Qingqing started to sell
Especially when she meets returning customers from yesterday, she will greet them with a smile and give them an extra half or half of a pinch of salted vegetables.
There were also some curious people who asked, "Will you set up a stall every day in the future?"
"Definitely not every day. We might come here during the market day. So if you like this, you can come and have a look during the market day."
The town market that Gu Qingqing mentioned is the market held in the town on every fifth or tenth day of the month. On that day, households in the surrounding villages would come with goods on their shoulders or in wheelbarrows.
If anyone wants to buy something, they will come at that time because everything is available and it is convenient to buy and sell.
She just realized that today was the tenth day of August, the town's market day, no wonder there were so many people on the streets today.
"Your cooking skills are good, but it's too expensive. It would be best if it could be cheaper so that we can eat it every now and then." At this time, another fat woman said.
"Auntie, I will make some other cheap food later. There are many varieties and you can choose from them." Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to answer.
When the fat lady heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "That's great! As long as it's not expensive, we will definitely support you."
Although there were many people queuing, the quantity of purchases was not large. By noon, about three kilograms of the twenty kilograms she brought were still unsold.
When they came out in the morning, they had eaten wild vegetable and white noodle dumpling soup at home. They had been taking care of people along the way, so they were already hungry.
Gu Qingqing looked around and said to Wen Wuyan, "You watch the stall. I'll go over there and buy four bowls of vegetarian noodles. We can put some shaobai as topping."
"Okay!" Wen Wuyan replied.
Gu Qingqing ordered four bowls of vegetarian noodles, each bowl costing four cents. She saw that the portions were not too large, so she went to another stall and bought three meat patties for twenty-one cents.
The whole family enjoyed the meal.
......
Three men dressed in blue shirts and looking like scholars came out of Master Wu's house. One of the thin men said to the other two, "Let me tell you, you don't know how delicious that Shaobai is. My wife bought a few slices yesterday. The meat looked ruddy, not only not greasy, but also very sweet. Even the salted vegetables mixed with rice have a unique flavor. I heard that they will come to the town to set up a stall today. Let's go quickly and take a look. Maybe we can meet them."
"Hou Jie, apart from the dishes in those restaurants in the town that we haven't eaten, what else can we eat deliciously in the small streets and alleys around here? What's more, it's made by the village women." The person who spoke had some arrogance in his tone, his pair of inverted triangle eyes looking at the distant sky with disdain on his face.
The person who spoke was none other than Wen Youcai, the second son of the Wen family from Niutoushan Village, who was studying in the town.
