Chapter 44: Homemade sausages
The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, the joy of the New Year is more and more reflected through the smiles on the faces of the guests, the New Year, the wages and benefits in the factory are rewarded to the employees, and the abundance is good for this, you can eat some of the things you want to eat, and the hard work of a year is not to live a satisfying and wealthy year at the end of the year.
Xin Andong, who has been thinking about making another fortune a few years ago, naturally will not miss this good day, and he wrote the four big words 'selling sausages' on cardboard at the door of the lobster restaurant a few days ago.
That's right, since the school's tea and egg business came to an end, and it was almost the end of the year, making sausages to sell was his plan for a long time. But he almost ran out of money, and he was reluctant to give up this business, so he cheekily borrowed a hundred yuan from Xin's mother.
100 yuan, more than 100 catties of meat and a large pot full of small intestine skin, when they bought it, they directly frightened the Xin family.
How much Xin's mother trusted her little son who would not go wrong before, and after seeing more than 100 catties of pork, her heart was heavy!
More than 100 catties of fat and even pork, let Xin Andong work for a week before all the sausages were made, no machine, all manual, chopping meat, mixing, enema, every step relies on manpower, tired Xin Andong has a sore back, and he lost five pounds a week, although Xin Wenfang especially wanted to beat his younger son, but he couldn't watch him care, the Xin family helped together, and a week later, the simple shelves made of bamboo poles in the backyard of the lobster restaurant were hung with rows of fragrant bright red sausages.
Now that the sausages are made, the next question is to sell.
Today's sausages are sold in stores in glass bottles that are packaged in similar to canned food, with special braised soup in them, the sausages are very thin, not large, and the capacity is relatively small, and the price is naturally not cheap, and ordinary people can't eat it.
Xin Andong's four big characters were released, and immediately attracted the attention of many people, everyone didn't want to buy it immediately, but they were more curious, these years the meat is more expensive, and there are very few people who dare to make sausages extravagantly, let alone the taste, can it be compared with the kind produced by manufacturers on the market?
How can it be!
But when it comes to the outstanding taste of crayfish and barbecue in the Xinjia Lobster Restaurant, there are also a small number of people who have a skeptical attitude.
In this way, the cardboard written by Xin Andong was left to dry at the door for several days before someone came to inquire.
Xin Andong has always been very confident in homemade sausages, so even if Xin Wenfang and Xin Anqiu keep sighing these days and feel that the sausages made of meat he bought are about to be smashed in his hands, he is not the slightest anxious, no matter how bad it is, anyway, sausages are not fresh, they can be eaten for a long time, and it is a big deal for the family to eat slowly.
Fortunately, there is finally a door-to-door inquiry from someone who knows the goods.
The first person to ask how to sell sausages was a middle-aged woman, with slightly curly hair, wearing a jujube red cotton jacket, a large brushed red scarf, a tweed skirt on the lower body, and black leather shoes.
Xin Andong saw her at a glance and knew that she was a potential big customer.
Her outstretched hand was full and white, and at first glance, she was pampered and well-maintained, speaking in an official tone, and her smile was also the kind of smile that was toothless and very self-contained.
"Hello, you are a child of this family? I want to ask your adults how to sell the sausages on the cards outside? Can you help your aunt call your parents?"
The woman had never been to the lobster house, but she often passed by and smelled the enticing smell of lobster, which is why she hesitated for a while and finally decided to come in and try to ask.
His husband likes to eat sausages, because the family conditions are good, often buy canned sausages, two days ago when she passed by here after work two days ago she saw the words written on the cardboard, but because she didn't believe it and didn't take it seriously, yesterday she passed by this store and saw the cardboard without accident, went home and said to her husband casually, I didn't expect her husband to be very interested in this homemade sausage, smiled and asked her to buy a little back to taste.
This is his first order of sausages, Xin Andong attaches great importance to it, he replied with a smile on his face, "Hello Auntie, my parents are busy in the back kitchen and don't have time for the time being, you want to ask the price of sausages, right, or let me introduce it to you." ”
"You know?" said the woman, with a hesitant look on her face.
Xin Andong smiled, did not refute the woman's question, and introduced her, "The sausages sold in our house are divided into two kinds, five-spice and spicy, and the price is the same. ”
The woman heard the child in front of her spit out clearly, but the brows that had just been stretched out suddenly frowned because of the price of the sausage, she already had a plan not to buy it at this time, and smiled unhappily, "The pork is only 0.9 yuan a catty, and your sausage sells for five a piece, isn't it a bit expensive?"
Even if the conditions at home are not bad, it is impossible to spend money indiscriminately, the price of sausages is so much more expensive than fresh meat, it is better to eat fresh pork.
"Auntie, doing business is about integrity, since we set this price, naturally we will not deceive the guests, we make sausages with fresh pork with even fat and lean, the sausages made of this pork are the most delicious, and the sausages are firm, all of them are lean meat," said, Xin Andong saw the woman's brows slowly stretched, and said, "I said that no matter how much Auntie you listen to, you are also confused, in this way, seeing is believing, I will take one for you to see first, if you are satisfied, it is not too late to buy." ”
The woman nodded hesitantly, and Xin Andong took a sausage with three or four sticks from the bamboo pole in the backyard and brought it to the store.
As soon as Xin Andong came over with the sausage, the woman was stunned, this red and white, meaty sausage was much thicker than the one sold on the market.
"Auntie, look, this is a section of sausages in our house, about two catties of new pork made of the thickness of the little fingers sold in the market, you have also seen it in our family, at least five fingers thick, of course, this is not completely air-dried, and when it is completely air-dried, there are about three fingers thick," Xin Andong saw that the woman's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, paused, and said with a smile, "The cost, the manual fee, and the seasoning are all very abundant in our house, Auntie, a piece of five pounds is really not expensive." ”
"It's quite coarse, but this taste?" the woman was already moved when she saw this sausage, because the taste was so fragrant, and it was sufficient, the child was right, the sausage was very tightly stuffed, and it was all fine meat, and if it really tasted good, five pieces would not be expensive!
"Auntie, don't worry, it's not delicious, our lobster restaurant has been open here for a while, and the taste is reputable. ”
That's right, although the Xin family lobster restaurant has not been open for a long time, but the business is good, the reputation is really good, the woman put her heart down, pinched her sleeves, and stared at the sausages on the counter for a long time, and then, with a reserved smile, took a deep breath, and said to Xin Andong, "You kid is good at doing business, and I am moved, Cheng, then weigh me first, I will take it home to eat, and if it is delicious, I will buy it again." ”
In the end, it was a more expensive thing, and the woman was still a little worried.
Human nature, Xin Andong didn't say much.
"Okay," Xin Andong cut a piece from the rope and weighed it, this one is heavier, a little more than two catties, he wrapped the sausage in paper, handed it to the woman, and at the same time collected the money, and said before leaving, "Auntie, you can take it home and wash the sausage, fry it, and steam it." ”
"Auntie knows, thank you. With that, the woman took the sausage and walked away. She has already planned in her heart, she will eat sausages at noon today, how about tasting it, it is delicious, and she will definitely come to buy it!
As soon as the woman left, Xin Anqiu, who was standing aside and watching for a while, opened the door curtain, poked Xin Andong, and asked in surprise, "Little brother, did that person come to buy sausages just now?"
A piece of five and fifty pounds, how rich you are willing to buy such an expensive sausage, and I don't know if it's delicious or not, how can this person be willing to do it?
That's right, although there are rows of sausages hanging in the backyard of the Xin family, and the Xin family, who smell the tempting smell every day, also keeps swallowing saliva, but from Xin Wenfang to Xin Anqiu, no one said that they wanted to eat a little bit and taste it.
The main thing is that it's too expensive to eat!
Xin Andong was in a good mood and put the three yuan in his pocket, which was his personal money, and said with a smile, "Of course, I borrowed a hundred yuan from my mother to get these sausages, but I made a lot of money by relying on them." ”
"I don't believe it, those sausages are so expensive for you, everyone can't afford to eat meat, how can you still spend spare money to buy your sausages to eat, that aunt can come to buy them today, I think you are a blind cat and a dead mouse." Xin Anqiu shook his head, still unwilling to believe it.
Xin Andong didn't know how to tell his third sister that the price of his sausage was really honest, and it was purely handmade, everyone knew that the meat chopped by hand was definitely more fragrant than the meat grinder, and I really didn't know why the family didn't believe that his sausages couldn't be sold.
"Third sister, there are a lot of rich people in our county, but everyone pursues wealth and does not expose it, you wait, since my first business has been completed, there is no need to worry about the following. He said calmly.
"You can do it, don't smash those sausages in your hands when the time comes, I am reluctant to eat those precious meats!"
Xin Anqiu wrinkled his nose and just finished saying this, a lobster eater who had been watching for a long time licked his face and walked to the counter.
This person Xin Andong knows, he is the first wave of guests to eat Xin's lobster, and he will be a loyal lover of Xin's crayfish when he sets up a stall in Xin's house, and his family has a little money, and he has to come to the store to eat twice a week, and he is a typical foodie.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but eat, "Hey, little boss, I smelled the sausage you took out just now, it's really fragrant, I see that the price you gave to that eldest sister is a piece of five pounds, I am an old customer of your lobster restaurant, give me a favor, how about selling me a piece of five?"
He looks good, but his eyes are a little small, and when he squints, he becomes a slit, but there is an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Okay, Brother Cheng is an old customer, taking care of old customers has always been the feature of our Xin family lobster restaurant, Cheng, just give Brother Huang a piece of five pounds!" Xin Andong said very happily, he really felt that he should give some discounts to old customers, after all, people have always supported your business, and it is unreasonable not to give some discounts.
Of course, it is unacceptable to favor one over the other, Xin Andong also took the opportunity to promote a wave of his own sausages, so he asked the guests in the store, "Is there anyone who wants to buy sausages, all of them are the lowest price, a piece of five pounds, it is definitely worth the money, and it is not this price when you get out of this door!"
There are really a lot of people who are excited, you must know that when Xin Andong's sausages were taken out just now, many people put down the lobster in their mouths and swallowed saliva. In this era, meat is very expensive, and it is already rich to be able to eat meat once a week.
So much so that the meat of the sausages is too attractive, only those who have money in their pockets, and they can't help but buy a piece back after hesitating for a while, after all, it's the New Year, and it's good to add some meat to the house.
Xin Anqiu, who just said that her little brother's sausages would never be sold, was stunned, her eyes widened, and then she pinched herself hard, and she gasped in pain before coming back to her senses, obediently, is this world crazy, and someone buys a piece of five-pound sausage? !
