Earn money to support your family in ancient times

Because the bean paste is really popular, Tang Yuan's business is very good today, and the items are sold out in less than half an hour.

He remembered to talk about the alkaline noodles with Boss Zhang, so he asked Su Nuo and Da Zhuang to get the pre-ordered items at the butcher shop and grocery store first, and went to Zhang Ji Noodle House by himself.

The business of Zhangji noodle restaurant is not bad, there are a row of small wooden signs on the wall, which write the types and prices of noodles.

However, there are few literate people, and most of them ask the waiters to directly report the names of the dishes.

The guy was afraid that Tang Yuan would not come, so he kept looking at the door from time to time, and when he saw Tang Yuan, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Boss Tang, you are here, our boss is waiting for you !"

After finishing speaking, he led Tang Yuan to the back kitchen.

Fearing that Tang Yuan misunderstood that Boss Zhang deliberately neglected him, he explained: "Boss Tang, don't mind. It's because our boss is worried about our apprentices and is afraid that they will ruin the store's reputation, so he keeps an eye on the back kitchen from time to time."

Tang Yuan smiled and said that he didn't care. He didn't expect this boss Zhang to be so "sincere". He hoped that he would be more straightforward when discussing business later.

The hall area of ​​Zhangji Noodle House is not small, but the kitchen space is much smaller when you enter, and it feels a bit crowded when four people enter.

The stove is quite big, and there are two large pots of boiling water on it, steaming upwards, and there is a fireman squatting under the stove.

There was a long table in the middle, and two men in their twenties were kneading the dough, and a middle-aged man with a round stomach stood next to him, frowning and pointing at the movements of the two: "Put harder! Knead more. ! Knead hard to make it stronger!"

"Boss, Boss Tang is here!" The man walked up to the middle-aged man and said.

The middle-aged man saw him now, loosened his tense face, and said in a friendly tone: "The kitchen is hot, let's go out and talk."

There was a tree with yellow leaves in the backyard, and under the tree was a rather rare stone table, which Tang Yuan guessed was for Boss Zhang to rest in summer.

"Boss Tang, please sit down." Boss Zhang stretched out his hand to give way.

Tang Yuan took the opportunity to sit down, and said politely, "I'm a stall operator, so I'm not really a boss. Boss Zhang, just call me by my name."

"Then I'll call you Brother Tang." Boss Zhang is also a straightforward person, straight to the point, "Brother Tang, I want to buy the noodle recipe for your cold noodles. You can make a price."

Boss Zhang has always been proud of his noodle-making skills. He noticed the cold noodles as soon as they came out, and secretly asked his assistant to buy them and study them. As a result, he failed to research them after so many days, so he had to resign himself to his fate and want to buy the recipe.

Tang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Boss Zhang, I'm not going to sell the prescription."

"Brother Tang, I really want to buy it." Boss Zhang frowned and paused, "So, 30 taels of silver."

Tang Yuan still shook his head, and waited for Boss Zhang to be almost anxious, before slowly saying: "Boss Zhang, I don't sell recipes, I only sell noodles."

He is not in a hurry to spend money now, so he will not be so stupid as to sell the recipe for making alkaline noodles for 20 taels. Find a way to sell it to a farther place, and the profit can be far more than 20 taels of silver.

"Only selling noodles?" Boss Zhang didn't think about this possibility. After pondering for a while, he looked at Tang Yuan, "Tell me about this selling method."

Tang Yuan: "It's simple. It sells by the catty. The noodles I make cold noodles are all dusted and can be used directly. They cost thirty cents per catty."

"Thirty renminbi?!" Boss Zhang exclaimed, tsk-tsk said, "Brother Tang, your price is too expensive. A catty of flour is only [-] renminbi."

"Boss Zhang, you also said it's flour," Tang Yuan said calmly, "It takes me a lot of effort to make flour into noodles like that, just to earn hard money."

He looked at Boss Zhang's expression, and said: "Boss Zhang, you can try to buy some first, and if it sells well, you can increase the amount, and I will give you a cheaper price then."

Boss Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Tang, you have a really sharp mouth, okay, then do as you said, first...give me ten catties."

"Success, I'll deliver it to you before lunch tomorrow." Tang Yuan was in a happy mood after getting such a long-term business, and thought for a while, "You are so straightforward, I will send you another one for free with this Let’s have a recipe for noodles.” It’s also a good relationship, and besides, he also hopes that the owner of this piece will sell well, and it will be a free publicity for him.

These days, any house that wants to have a secret recipe is hiding it. When Tang Yuan said this, Boss Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't stop the smile on his face.

Tang Yuan saw a black fish and pork liver in the kitchen just now, he thought about teaching the three fresh noodles to Boss Zhang.

The three fresh noodles are simple to make, but they taste good and cover a wide range of flavors. Few people don't like them.

The so-called three delicacies are black fish, pork liver and lean pork. It just so happens that these three are available here. The noodles that Da Zhuang made yesterday are still not sold out today. Let him bring them over to show Boss Zhang when he is ready to discuss business. , it just comes in handy right now.

He pointed to the black fish and pork liver and said to Boss Zhang: "Boss Zhang, can you have someone process the black fish and pork liver, cut them into slices, and then cut one or two thin shreds of lean meat."

Both the black fish and pork liver were what Boss Zhang was going to take home to eat, but Tang Yuan wanted to use them at this time, so he asked his apprentice to deal with it according to Tang Yuan's instructions without saying a word, and then let the apprentices go out without his order. Come in.

There are chopped onions, ginger and garlic in the kitchen. Tang Yuan heats up the pan, pours in the oil, and when the oil starts to smoke, he adds the ginger and garlic and sautés until fragrant.

Then add black fish fillets, pork liver and lean meat and stir-fry. Quickly add salt, light soy sauce, and bean paste and stir-fry well.

Tang Yuan moved very quickly, and the pork liver and fish slices couldn't help being fried. He had to master the heat, otherwise he would be old.

"呲——" When the frying was almost done, Tang Yuan picked up a bowl of water and poured it into the pot, then put the shredded green peppers in, stir-fried a few times with a shovel, and took it out of the pot.

The noodles that Tang Yuan brought had already been scalded in advance and served in the noodle restaurant. At this time, he poured the fried three delicacies on the noodles.

The hot and fragrant three delicacies are covered with light yellow noodles, the noodles are fully immersed in the salty soup, the milky white fish fillets and shredded meat are mixed with dark red pork liver, and some green green pepper shreds are dotted in between. People can't help swallowing saliva.

"Boss Zhang," Tang Yuan pushed the three fresh noodles to Boss Zhang who was staring at the noodles, "Try it."

Boss Zhang took it, and impatiently pinched his mouth with his chopsticks.

The entrance is fresh and tender shredded pork and tender pork liver, without any fishy smell. Boss Zhang has a slightly raised beard and a mouthful of fish fillets. There are not many black fish bones, and the meat is relatively tender, which completely retains its umami taste. The boss licked his mouth, and picked out a large chopsticks noodle. The noodle was chewy and covered with soup. It was eaten with three delicacies and shredded green peppers. It was indescribably delicious!

Boss Zhang ate the noodles with a wheeze, wiped his mouth, and said to Tang Yuan, "Brother Tang, give me another thirty catties!"

As far as the taste of these three fresh noodles is concerned, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them!With his tongue that has been studying noodles for many years, he dares to say that these three fresh noodles can be ranked among the top three noodles he has eaten!The point is, it's easy and effortless to do!

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "OK."

The author has something to say: Tang Yuan: Take a long-term view.
