butcher's cook

?? "Then what should I do? I will return the sheep?"

??He had never thought about having a child before, and he automatically ignored the fact that a child needs to drink milk after it is born.

??Since Tan Ming has settled the matter, it will be a satisfactory result.If I go to hire a nanny again, I still don't feel at ease after thinking about it.

?? "I'll talk about that later. My cousin came over today, and Granny Li made bacon. It's the first time we've marinated bacon this year." Thinking about it, I look forward to it.

?? "Really, hurry up, I remember you cooked red wine, it should be very delicious, right?"

?? Li Po cooked a table full of dishes, and cooked all the bacon. What smoked bacon wind blowing bacon platter, that is, cut half of the smoked bacon, and the other half was not smoked.Spicy pork ribs platter, spicy sausage, Cantonese sausage, sausage fed with red wine, and finally a white radish stewed with bacon soup.

?? "There is no other stir-fried vegetables today. If you can't finish these tonight, use them to stir-fry garlic sprouts."

??Bai Ning is the most favorite sausage. There are three flavors of sausage, which can be seen at a glance.Spicy sausage, with a ruddy appearance, is delicious and spicy when you take a bite. It is really a good ingredient for dinner.The Cantonese flavor does not add chili, so the color looks a little dull.Bai Ning has eaten both of these before, so it's good to have a taste.But it's the first time he made the red wine taste, the color looks redder, and the taste is more special, he can't tell whether it's spicy and delicious, or the red wine tastes delicious.

??Tan Ming took a bite of the sausage, and then ate the second chopsticks, "So the sausage tastes like this!"

?? Li Po didn't know the story inside, so she asked with a smile, "What kind of taste does Master Tan think it should be?"

?? "Hey, I've eaten it before, but it's not as good as this one."

?? This Mrs. Li agreed, "Indeed, the ones we made in the past were not as delicious as the ones made by the owner. This is the first time I know that we can also put wine and chili in the sausage. We didn't have chili in the past, so we put some in it." Stir-fried salt and spices, it tastes good, but not as fragrant as the owner's."

?? "Especially this sausage, the color is top-notch, and it is terrible that there is no such thing in the old man's house."

??Others don't give comments, just concentrate on eating. I don't know how many times I can eat such a delicious thing.

"Boss, if you don't want to sell these sausages, just keep them for yourself." Xiao Si said while gnawing on the cured ribs, he didn't want the slightest image.What's the point of being a young lady in the past? It's more interesting than being a servant. She feels that if this continues, she will almost give up and go back for revenge.

??Xiao Bao looked at his father with sparkling eyes, and felt that the master had spoken well this time.

?? When Bai Ning saw Xiaobao's sparkling eyes, he was immediately happy. This snack must have taken a fancy to this batch of bacon.He calculated, how much is left after giving the New Year's gift, or should he not send it to the restaurant?

?? "Hehe, I think Xiaobao likes it very much, why don't you keep half of it, and don't sell it for money this year!"

?? "That's fine. I won't sell it this year. I'll see how much is left after the New Year gift."

?? Counting the number of people, the Xu family, the uncle's house, Dong Shiye's house, Liu's house, and the third aunt's house are needed.There was no one in Tan Ming's family for a long time. His grandfather had only one daughter. Before his mother died, his family was gone.

"How did you give it away in previous years?" Bai Ning asked Tan Ming.

?? "You messed up, I gave you a back leg last year."

"Oh, how about this, this year, each family will bring three catties of bacon, three catties of sausage, and a jar of wine, what do you think?"

?? "Okay, then I will buy red paper in the afternoon and come back."

??The custom here is like this. When giving New Year's gifts, the New Year's gifts need to be wrapped in a piece of red paper. Even if it can't be completely sealed, it must be pasted around.

?? "I'm with you. I have something to discuss with shopkeeper Li."

??Tan Ming looked at the sky. Although it snowed a little that day, it didn't fall heavily. The road was only a little wet, and even walking up it didn't stick to mud.

??In the end, worried that Bai Ning would have a child, he carried a quilt and spread it on the bullock cart.I thought that my uncle should make a carriage. The younger brother has property in the county, and he always has to walk back and forth. A carriage can also protect him from wind and snow.

?? "Xiao Si, pick up [-] catties of streaky bacon and sausage, just pick up the two flavors at will."

?? "Boss, why do you bring so many?"

?? "Hurry up and get it, I'm useful, don't worry, you won't be short of food, just throw two pigs tomorrow."

?? Hearing this, Xiao Si jumped and ran into the house. Yes, this bacon and sausage is made by the owner. If there is not enough food, you can make it again.

??Tan Ming entered the room and found another cloak to put on him, "Why do you have so much bacon?"

?? "Bring it to the restaurant, it will be of great use!" Bai Ning carefully got on the bullock cart, turned around and told Xiaobao to be obedient and not run away.

??"How to say?"

?? "Don't you remember the mooncakes from last time?"

?? As soon as I said this, Cousin Xu understood, "Cousin, don't tell me, didn't you give away mooncakes for seven days last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were no more gifts, and many customers asked about the mooncakes. things."

?? Bai Ning heard about this matter from shopkeeper Li, and Tan Ming also knew about it.

"Could it be that this bacon is also given away for free?"

??Bai Ning nodded, "Exactly."

?? Cousin Xu heard shopkeeper Li talk about the Taoism here last time, and quite agreed, "This bacon and sausage is so good, those people don't come here every day."

Seeing that Tan Ming didn't understand, Bai Ning explained, "Our bacon and sausages are delicious. We have limited time and quantity. There are no other places with bacon and sausages. If you want to eat this bacon and sausages, they can buy them in other places If there is no place to eat, we can only come here. Also, do we have something special here, for this special thing, people in the county who have money in their pockets will naturally come here often. "

??The first part focuses on hunger marketing, while the second part focuses on capturing people's novelty-seeking psychology.

??Tan Ming nodded, "Understood, but is there too little bacon?"

?? "Less is less. You don't need too much for a table. Five taels are always indispensable. One catty is only enough to set three tables. The forty catties here are only enough to deliver a hundred tables."

?? "Xingxue, how is the business of the restaurant now?"

?? "The business is not very good now, there are only twenty tables a day, and there is a pot shop in the east of the city. The cooking method is not much different from ours, but there is no spicy taste, and even our skill of making meatballs has been learned by them. , there is nothing particularly superior to them."

?? "Well, it doesn't matter, there must be competition to make progress."

??What Bai Ning thinks is that next year chili peppers will be planted on a large scale, so the only outstanding spicy flavor of their shop will be gone.

?? But now there are twenty tables a day, and this bacon is enough for five days.

??Five days later it will be 26 and 27. Every family will celebrate the New Year, and no one will think about going out to eat.

?? "Did Shopkeeper Li tell you when will you take your annual leave?"

?? "No, he's going to come over and ask you, cousin, when will we have a holiday, and how many days?" Xu Xingxue was looking forward to the annual leave. He hasn't been home for a long time, two months!When he was able to work in the county at first, he was very happy, but he missed it after not going home for a long time.

?? It's not that Bai Ning is a pickpocket, on the contrary, the job and the chef have two days off every month, but this kid doesn't know why, he didn't go back for these two months, and he plans to go back together at the end of the year.

?? Miss Xu and Bai Ning are here, Uncle Xu and the others are also relieved, they missed him for the winter, so they came to see it once.

?? "I need to discuss this with Shopkeeper Li." After all, it was his first time doing this kind of business, and he still had to ask Shopkeeper Li what he meant when it was a holiday during the New Year's Day. He has done this before and knows how to do it.

?? Shopkeeper Li got the bacon and sausage, so he cooked a small piece of each to taste.At this time, the bacon has only been cooked for 20 days, and the color has not yet reached the legendary top quality. The color is only better than ordinary bacon, and the few pieces that have been smoked with cypress branches and sawdust are enough to see.

?? but the taste is not bad.

?? Especially sausages, 20-day-old sausages, have already been cooked, and it is time to eat them.

?? "What is the boss going to do?"

?? "It's still the same as last Mid-Autumn Festival."

?? "How much on a table?"

?? "Five taels, there are two types of bacon and sausages, cut some of each, and put them together on a plate."

?? "If they ask, what should I say?"

?? "What did you say at the beginning, and what do you say this time, everyone wants to buy it, just say it is to give back to old customers, and we will do more next year."

"I understand." Shopkeeper Li is not stupid. From Bai Ning's words, he heard that the owner intends to do the bacon and sausage business tomorrow.

?? "Boss, when will the annual leave start?"

?? "Did you put it on time before?"

?? "Usually the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, until the seventh day of the first lunar month."

??Bai Ning understands, it is equivalent to letting go for ten days.

?? "Basically according to yours, from the 26th of the twelfth lunar month to the tenth day of the first lunar month."

?? "Boss, will this be too long?"

?? "Almost, everyone always wants to celebrate the New Year. Tell them later that during the Chinese New Year, the monthly salary is not less than one point, so that they can stay at home with their wives, children and parents for a few more days. Everyone will be given an extra month's money in the restaurant. Set up a few tables, and everyone will have a meal, which can be regarded as an early New Year's Eve dinner."

Shopkeeper Li nodded again and again, sighing in his heart for the generosity of his boss, and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, boss, I will thank you on their behalf."

??Bai Ning’s clerks and chefs add up to 22 in total. The average monthly salary is one tael or four taels of silver. In a month, 30 taels of silver will be paid, and the extra monthly payment will be 60 taels of silver. Basically, they will not earn this month. what.

??Mistress Xu has been a little busy these two days, nothing but her son Liu Dashan.She and Liu Laosan had a good impression of Brother Tao. The younger brother was good-looking, hardworking, lived close to him, and knew everything. Logically speaking, Ms. Xu should be very satisfied.

?? It is because she knows the basics that Ms. Xu is dissatisfied.

?? But not for Tao Geer, but very dissatisfied with Tao Brother's inside.The reason is not big, it is the eccentricity of the elderly in the family.Brother Tan is the third generation in the family. His father and mother have three sons and one elder brother. Brother Tao's father is the eldest.Other families are all partial to their sons, but they are different, his mother prefers his elder brother.Overtly and secretly subsidizing his brother and uncle.It doesn't count if you pay for it yourself, but also pays for the pockets of the sons' family. Brother Tao's family doesn't count, and it's the same for the two sons who separated.

?? If it was just like this, Ms. Xu would not object so strongly.The key point is that Brother Tao is so powerful, even if he is married off to his granddaughter's house, he will go and get it back.

??Mistress Xu is afraid of this!

?? But Liu Dashan likes it. Mrs. Xu can't screw her son's, so she can only go to Tao's house.

?? When Bai Ning came, she was packing her things.

??She has made up her mind that this business will be done until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and it will continue next year.

??Xu Niangzi was very happy to see Bai Ning coming. She asked him about his recent situation, and then chattered a lot about his food and lodging, and what he wanted to avoid.

?? Speaking of which, Tan Ming almost came back, and the things he bought were simple, red paper.

?? From a distance, he saw his little brother waiting in front of the restaurant, and he couldn't help but quicken his steps, "Why don't you wait inside the restaurant in such a cold day?"

?? "I'm fine, have you bought something?"

??Tan Ming brought the red paper over, "Okay." After touching the little brother's hand, it was still warm. He felt relieved, "Do you want to go to Second Aunt's?"

?? "No, I'll go there first when you come over. The second aunt is busy with Dashan's affairs and has no time to entertain us. Let's go back today and come back in two days."
